The Quilt Project: Redwork Design

For Kootoyoo's The Quilt Project.

I love 70s floral fabric prints so I wanted to create a floral design reflecting this. I used a 70s linen teatowel, stool cover and bedsheet for the inspiration for my design, with the final design looking quite different from my early drafts.

Technical details: DMC in 666: 3 strands

Stem, running & back stitches & french knots.
