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,

Lovely roses and your stitching looks beautiful, love the thread colour.
ReplyDeletethe 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!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses Susan - the colours are wonderful. Love the block you have stitched for Rosalie. Great giveaway prizes - cute bag. Looking forward to seeing what you've come up with for all those half square triangles.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous roses...beautiful stitchery...lucky you on the win

ReplyDeleteI love the Thread Colour on these Stitcheries it's Nice too use Something Different..Well Done on your Win.

ReplyDeleteWow whipping up 80 half square triangles is a great effort! Nice prize, so good to have a win every now and then.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses! There is a lot of stitching! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteWow there is a lot of stitching but you've done such a great job :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win too
I love that stitchery pattern, and you've done a beautiful job on it. And how lucky to win Anthea's cute bag!
ReplyDeleteYour sample block for Rosalie looks lovely! I've also been lucky enough to stitch a block for Rosalie and got 'All creatures great and small'. Your comment is spot on though - lots of stitching involved!! But absolutely gorgeous designs :) Well done for your finish
ReplyDeleteLovely work Susan, what an appropriate because it makes you think of just how blessed many of us are. I can almost smell those roses they are so beautiful
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses Susan! Congratulations on your win .....your stitchery is lovely for Rosalie!
