I always assumed it was because the feathered stitches looked like turkey scratches.<br /><br />I don't that these ladies knew why it was called turkey work either.<br /><br />Having reduced eyesight due to something they call 'old age', I now do my redwork on an embroidery machine. Perhaps not as satisfying, but it looks a lot better than when I do it by hand!Ruth Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723758835663616548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-68839750889560045562010-02-04T06:51:41.642-08:002010-02-04T06:51:41.642-08:00I love the look of Redwork...and have also seen *b...I love the look of Redwork...and have also seen *blue work*....green work...etc....I love your design...and the way you trimmed your towel....your recipient will be blessed !<br />Deby~~Debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288057520112643825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-73208656308329294632010-02-03T14:35:50.263-08:002010-02-03T14:35:50.263-08:00Love it!
