'REDWORK' INSPIRES NEW FABRIC LINE
The Michigan State University Museum worked with fabric designer Susie Osburn to create "Redworks," a reproduction fabric line from Windham Fabrics released this fall.

Redwork is a style of decorative needlework so-named because the technique usually entails using red thread to embroider designs onto a plain white background. It is also the focus of a special exhibition, "Redwork: A Textile Traditon in America," in the Heritage Gallery. An online version of the exhibit is featured at the national Quilt Index research and reference website.

The "Redworks" fabric line includes designs drawn from four quilts in the MSU Museum's Kitty Clark Cole Collection made circa 1890-1900, the time period when Redwork was most popular.
