Have you seen Rosalie Quinlan's new BOM Scandinavian Rose. As soon as I saw a picture of the finished quilt on Rosalie's blog I knew I wanted to make it.
Sarah had the patterns for sale on her stall at the Burnie Friendship Day. Throughout the day I kept picking them up and looking at them longingly. By the end of the day (and with 'encouragement' from Cathy) they were mine.
Each block is preprinted onto white hanky linen and as soon as I got home I started stitching.
I am using a pinky red DMC thread - no 3831.
I am thinking of using some of my Tilda fabrics for this quilt. Fabrics by a Norwegian designer in a quilt called Scandinavian Rose seems quite apt.
Feeling a bit better today .. thanks to everyone who sent well wishes ... they seem to be working.
Lovely stitching, it really is a beautiful pattern. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteOh how cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd Tilda fabric too.
So glad you are feeling
better.
It looks gorgeous, Christine. I seem to remember that Cathy didn't really NEED to do that much encouraging before those patterns found their way into your bag and then your car!!! Hehehe - glad you are feeling a bit better. See you Monday night XX
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is lovely! I can see why it was so hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Christine. I love that DMC colour too. The fabrics in your previous message are so lovely, especially the triangle fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Vicki - I can't remember much arm twisting either :) Stitching looks lovely Christine....you do such lovely work!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Christine, fancy blaming me!! They are gorgeous though and I knew you wanted them. Lol
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw pictures of this quilt I was in love. Can't wait to see more of yours. :-)
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh.... So you got this one....:0) ... So want to make it too... But still haven't bought it... Love Rosie's touch on this one...so much Swedish folk art in these blocks... They ar really calling out to me..lol...
ReplyDeleteHadn't thought of Tilda fabrics but they would look devine with this design. Can't wait to see your finished quilt now.
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks,I too couldn't resist......so tempted to start on mine now but I'm making myself wait till the end of November when I finish my studies as a carrot to dangle before me to keep me going lol.
ReplyDeleteWill look forward to seeing more of the blocks as you do them also must stock up on the lovely DMC thread you've used :) Barb.
Love this - beautiful stitches!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline.

Oh, my goodness! This is so pretty. And you're so naughty, linking over to the source pages, because now I'm in the same boat you describe - it's screaming at me that I need to make one, too!
