Redwork is a form of American embroidery, also called art needlework, that developed in the 19th century and was particularly popular between 1855 and 1925. It traditionally uses red thread, chosen because red dyes were the first commercially available colorfast dyes, in the form of Turkey red embroidery floss. VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. SOME SQUARES HAVE SPOTS ON THEM.
