Petits rouges: d'ici et d'ailleurs

I love redwork.  I wish I stitched more redwork projects and I envy other stitchers who have large collections of redwork.   Several links on my sidebar go to stitcher's websites or albums who have lots of redwork: Casa Mia is a favorite.  Catherine ABC and Vero M both have redwork in their albums, which I drool over (actually all the work in both albums!!) every time I go looking.  Nicki's album has a special album with just redwork.  And of course there are the lovely designs by Marjorie Massey.   I have a very small collection of redwork (maybe I should put together a special album for it) that I have either stitched or received--but it is a small collection.  And now I have another book on redwork to add to my small stack of needlework books.  Vero very kindly (merci!) sent me this new gorgeous stitching book, Petits rouges: d'ici et d'ailleurs by Muriel Brunet.  It shows antique sampler reproductions--originals stitched by schoolgirls in France, Germany, Belgium, Luxemburg and other countries.  It is a wonderful book and I am hoping to stitch some designs from it!   It makes me want to order more French stitching books (why are there so few published here in the US?) and also pull out a redwork design to stitch...
