Seeing Red (In a Good Way)

Because it's spring and the flowers are blooming, we are surrounded by lots of soft pastels. But sometimes you really just crave a a good, strong red. Maybe a traditional French redwork sampler, as in this "Sampler Saisons" by Anagram Diffusion.


Maybe just a big, red accent: "Town House Sampler" by Brenda Keyes of the Sampler Company.


Here's Glenna's start on this:


Or a big, satisfying needlepoint canvas for Independence Day, with lots of red, white and blue.


You can choose between Lizzie Kate's cross stitch Santa in his red-striped nightshirt.


Or needlepoint the same thing. (Pssst--cross stitchers: needlepoint is easy--we can get you started with something cute like this!)


There's the bright red inn on the "Inn at Fox River Mill" by Little House Needleworks.


Knit some red-sparked socks (we have lots of sock yarn in all colors, plus this book).


Stitch a little French style redwork design by JBW (or stitch one in blue! Or green!)


Or stitch a big colorful design with flashes of red. Give "Peace" a chance. (Ahem. We are red-faced.) By a Stitcher's Hands.


Check this space on Monday for details about Halloween in May!!!
