If you like redwork and are looking for a simple pattern to edge towels or other items for the home, here's a nice stylized border that would look great outlined in red. It works up quickly with nice results. You can lengthen the border by tracing repeats, or shorten it by removing sections. The design isn't limited to redwork, though! You could "dress it up" by stitching white on white and using satin stitch.
