It's autumn.....

But my roses think it's spring.

I have been a very busy little stitcher working on a stitchery from the Simply Blessed BOM, for Rosalie Quinlan to use in a sample. My goodness there is a lot of stitching in these designs, I think it's all the chain and satin stitch. Gorgeous design and a beautiful thread too. Thanks for the opportunity Rosalie.

I got the best kind of mail yesterday. I won a giveaway on Anthea's blog and was lucky to receive a great project bag (perfect size for my knitting), some very pretty thread and a cute little tape measure (which now lives in my handbag). Thanks so much Anthea. X

Last night I thought I'd have a quick look at the fabric I bought for my niece's quilt, just to have a think about what I was going to do........well I was whisked away with creativity and got all the blocks sewn! They are only half square triangles but there is over 80 of them....and I had to remember how to use my machine again (no hand piecing on this one). The layout needs some tweaking so hope to have a pic soon.

Happy stitching,
Susan x

  6. the gardens on my morning walk are full of beautiful roses...shame I don't take my snips with me to pick a few :) (wouldn't do it of course) the perfume is wonderful as the mornings have been quite warm - and dark! At least we will have a few weeks of morning light once daylight saving finishes this weekend. Lovely stitching for Rosalie! Great colour!

  14. Love your stitchery by Rosalie, its great to see different stitches being used rather than just a running stitch. I can understand why your roses are blooming, we have also been experiencing unseasonal weather - it was 34 degrees today!
