Red redwork embroidery blocks

I had worked these blocks many moons (read years, maybe) ago and realized they would be a great addition to another quilt top I am working on so this morning I sashed them.  After putting on and ripping off a green sashing I new this was the right fabric and am really pleased with just the blocks.

I apologize for not knowing where these designs come from.  I believe they are by Bronwyn Hayes.  If anyone knows differently, please tell me.

These two blocks are definitely Bronwyn.  They are from the May 2003 Australian Country Threads special edition called Stitchery.  In case you are interested here is a link to her Pinterest page....are you back yet - I know wonderful, huh?

Redwork finds a home with Little Step Stones

Further to the redwork story, I love it when I have an inspiration.  I thought if I just laid out the redwork with the Little Step Stones blocks I have been working on...

I believe I am on to something...

I was particularly happy when I found this Robert Kaufman fabric called Splish Splash in my stash.  I think it really adds a special zing to the embroidery.
