Scandinavian Rose

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.

  3. 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
