Another good idea is for potpourri bags, pillowcases, bedding, purses and anything that you would like a "lighter" design for.

27608Y E S!!! All of the things you mentioned...Burp rags/towels tooo!
31942Love the simplicity of the designs on towels. I have used a lot in my rag quilts. Flannel with a thin batting, I use the same thread in the bobbin.

Thank you. I wouldn't have thought that it would be suitable on towels, but I will definitely give it a try.
32948Anywhere you can use a 'light' design. The baby designs would make a marvelous baby quilt, or could be put on one of those kind of light flannel 'towels' you wrap baby in after the bath, not the terry cloth kind. High chair pads, a 'baby' placemat for the high chair (can you tell I love to wash clothes, hee hee hee), and as you said, bibs, burp cloths, clothes, whatever. I use redwork on flour sack dish towels, with the same thread in the bobbin so they're two sided. Some, e.g. the sewing blocks, I might even use as actual quilting on plain quilt blocks, already made up. What am I trying to say, like you would use stippling? If I were doing a wall hanging with sewing related material, and had say plain muslin blocks in it, use the redwork designs either in colors or perhaps tone on tone to actually quilt the muslin blocks in the already finished quilt. They're good for making cards, too, usually, being not very dense designs. And for any kind of 'quick' project you need, apron, tote bag, whatever. A store-bought tote under your machine foot for 10 minutes, and you have a cute quickie gift. Once you do the redwork a few times, you'll think of lots of things to do with it, I personally love it.

Thank you. You have given me even more ideas now. It's good to ask these sort of questions because then you can get ideas that you would never have thought of doing.
