Hi Bloggers! I'm on vacation - a much needed one. But never a vacation from quilting, right? One project I have with me is the redwork quilt. It's an old project. I blogged about it here (4 Years Ago!). It doesn't bother me to have long term projects in the works, I just keep plugging away at them off and on. How about you?
There are 64 blocks in the quilt, and 6 to finish yet, with 58 completed. I can embroider in the car while hubby drives, so this is my car travel/vacation take-along quilt project.
Here is the floss I am using, and it is just one strand, not like the six strand floss I have used on previous projects:
And a picture of the whole quilt from the kit package:
We have arrived in Corpus Christi, but the weather has prevented much outside activities. The weather is going to improve this week, so we can enjoy the beach a little more. If not, I will be on vacation embroidering. It's all good!
What's on your design wall this week? Please put a link to this particular blog post somewhere within your blog post. I appreciate you. Can't wait to see what you show us!

A day on the beach in the warm/hot sun, sounds wonderful! Enjoy your vacation.
I hope the weather does turn around, have a nice vacation.
Hope you get some good weather so you can enjoy the beaches. Enjoy your slow stitching time. I have a long term embroidery project that goes on our road trips, though I don't stitch in the car as it makes me car sick.
sorry you are having rotten weather at the beach - that kind of spoils a beach vacation - hope it improves
What a wonderful takealong project you have for holiday stitching!
I love to work on projects that take years to finish :)
I love Redwork and did a Scandinavian Christmas project this year. Where did your project come from,Judy? I would be interested but I suspect it is vintage and may be out of circulation.
Gorgeous redwork. Have a great vacation!
Hope you get lots of sunshine on vacation. Redwork is lovely!
