quilt monday-stuck in redville

yes, when I get into something (redwork) I really get into it. so, this is also from that same magazine as this post. I am fixating on these tiny flying woodland elf/faeries on the border of the quilt. Can you see them? Click on the photo for a closer look. So sweet (and yes, I realize they are wearing hats exactly like what I just sewed for Oscar in my last post) well, at least I am consistent (or boringly predictable.)

These are all so amazing, but I am really diggin on the realistic mushrooms looming above to the right. Wonderful. And I also like this dark bloody color of red for the embroidery. Also, what a beautiful photograph! It's so impossible to photograph quilts. This way is perfect. A close up with movement, you know?

And very exciting to report, Laura posted a translation of the Japanese text on last week's yo-yo quilt in the comment section. Thank you, Laura!

If you're going to be stuck somewhere--all this gorgeous redwork seems like a good place to be! It's beautiful...

SO AWESOME to read that translation. Thanks for linking back to it. I am loving the redword photos you've been posting. Really makes me wanna go do some dark red embroidery.

I just got this magazine and it is so hard to decide where to start!! I love the mushrooms and the fairies as well...funny how we all think alike!! I love the baby quilt and hat and booties. I am still stuck in baby mode since I am still cranking out the baby presents...
