Scarlet Stitch (was:Re: HNW - Re: Blackwork Article

[Frank Thallas]

   What time frame are we talking?  Quite a number of "blackwork" pieces
done in red in the 16th century, and then later on (19th?) you have the
fashion for "redwork" embroidery - usually pictorial outlines worked on
white fabric and used for quilts, pillow covers, etc...
