A Shabby Roses quilt?

The last few days have seen a dramatic improvement in my hand - and it seems Tiger Balm could be the hero of this healing. The idea came to me when we did a deep clean of the bathroom and I came across an old jar hidden behind numerous bars of soap. Originally I'd bought it to rub into my temples when I have a migraine, but it never helped so I forgot about it. But it's doing wonderful things for my hand!


Needless to say I dabbled with some stitching last night. This new wrist splint allows me to stitch while I'm wearing it, so I still have support.


I loved the "Beauty" block in the blues, but as I'm considering making a quilt of my Shabby Rose designs I wanted to stitch one in the same colours I used for the Shabby Heart block. Do you like it?

I have another three Shabby Rose blocks designed that I love, and a few more that I'm still working on. What would you think about a Shabby Roses quilt?? Would you be interested in me putting more designs together for a beautiful quilt top?

Leave a comment and see if you can persuade me. :-)

I love your shabby roses blocks and would like to make a quilt out of them. I am having trouble with the vase one but I will get it. You do beautiful patterns. I have downloaded all the wonky house blocks and will start on them.

A quilt oh yes yes yes - you can't see me but I'm bouncing in my seat. *snort* I'm clearing projects left and right to get started on these.

I'm really glad you found something that will still let you stitch. I get a little flaky when I don't have something to hand-stitch, lol.

Well you know I already think it's a good idea, as I've already asked you if that was your plan. I love it in the pinks as well, just so pretty and feminine.

Oh man your sticheries will never cease to amaze me...
Keep with the tiger balm I know it aided me a lot and I still call on it in times of need...

Vickie said...

hehehe cheers Vickie

I've just made your first shabby rose block into a cushion for my bed, and plan on making another cushion from your vase block, so a quilt would really work well. I'll let you know when I post a picture of my cushion. I'm loving the wonky houses too. I'll have to look out for tiger balm, it might help my sprained ankle heal more quickly.

I can see that I have missed a few posts here Jenny. Love your shabby roses blocks. Both the blue and the pink. Yes, you SHOULD make a quilt.
Pleased to read your good news about your splint.

Love those shabby rose designs. I was born in June - flower Rose. You are tempting us with eye candy (no calories, its ok) Pleze pleze,
help us with our habit. We need to sit and make this quilt, tooooo.
Just love your designs. Also, the cross design was elegant and beautiful.
Hope you have enough tiger balm to share more stitchery.
Thank you so much.

I threw a penny in the wishing well in hopes that you would at least design enough blocks for us all around the world for a wall quilt. A bed size would be magnificent. Here's wishing my dream to come true! Patty

You know I would love a quilt with your patterns. They are beautiful.
I was just going to the store today to buy something similar to that tiger balm. I have have been having problems with my elbow. Maybe something like the balm will take my pain away too.
