Redwork
This redwork embroidered quilt needed a bit of repair and a vacuuming after many years on display.
The binding had torn away at the bottom.
I mended that by patching on the back, and then reattaching the binding with a herringbone stitch that went through to the new patching fabric.

Peter Pan
I have been working on child-size redwork quilt. The blocks are scenes from Peter Pan, so it's a very sweet quilt.
The red sashing fabric is a much lighter weight fabric than the white squares, and has split open in several places. I found an absolutely perfect match for the slightly faded turkey red color at Reproduction Fabrics (www.reproductionfabrics.com). It was so perfect, that I bought a bunch of it. And I mean a bunch. With any luck, I've got enough to repair any such quilt for years and years to come.
Here's the "before" picture, in which you can see Nana the dog, Tiger Lily, and Smee. (My daughter was Smee in a dance version of Peter Pan when she was about 12, and I've had a fondness for ol' Smee ever since.)
