Redwork is a traditional style of outline embroidery. It is a usually worked in a simple outline, cable or backstitch and therefore can be executed by a beginner or master. Redwork quilts date from the late 1800s through the early 1900s. Women's magazines carried simple drawings, designed to be traced. Full sized transfer patterns could also be purchased by mail. "Penny Squares", available from the local Mercantile were pre-stamped blocks costing a penny apiece. Flowers, animals, family life and nursery themes were favorite subjects. Newspapers carried syndicated series of embroidery designs by artists who became household names such as Mary Cullen, and Nancy Page. Commemorative quilts were also made in honor of presidents and international expositions. Red was the most popular color for outline embroidery due to the colorfast "turkey red" cotton embroidery floss that became available in the mid 1800s.
