Toile embroidery??? What is this type of embroidery please......?????

I see that you got the answer.

Toile, which is short for Toile du Juoy, is a pattern used in home décor. The repeated pattern is traditionally set on fabric with a white or cream background, and printed most often in navy, red and black. The pattern is traditionally a one-color pastoral scene that tells a story. Due to toile’s recent rise in popularity, it has found a place not only on the traditional fabric, but also on wallpaper and clothing.

Thank you for this question, is there a difference between toile embroidery and redwork? *4U

Thank you. That is where I have seen it. Maybe design goes better on lightweight material from what I can see of the designs.

Here is a great example - if this helps.
