Romeo Roses!

Do you get excited when you finish a project that seems to have taken forever?

I sure do!

After stitching Romeo Roses in January, and then not being happy with the final thread colour choices, I decided to re-stitch it in February, using the sweetest of Cottage Garden threads as my palette. 

I really wanted this design to compliment my style, and now that it is complete I couldn't be happier.

So, without further ado, may I present my newest pattern, Romeo Roses...

 

 

The fabric in the border is a print from Joanna Figueroa's "Gypsy Rose" line, the colours matching perfectly with the threads I used...

The photos were taken using my new 'birthday' camera, and as I was setting the scene a little friend thought he'd pop himself into the photo shoot too...

 

The stitchery pattern will be available very soon, already printed onto handkerchief linen - so much easier than tracing!

Have a happy and joy-filled weekend! 

We'll probably go for a ride when it's fine, then potter around home between the predicted rain storms.

I'll leave you with this photo I took last weekend when Mr E and I rode up the mountain just before sunset...

 ...it was breathtaking. 

Daisy-Do ~ Block 4!

It's already October 1st! My, this year has flown by!

Today I am sharing Block 4 of Daisy-Do...

~daisies~

 

 

The Cottage Garden thread looked gorgeous in the chain stitched wording, those pretty colours definitely taking centre stage! :-)

If you want to purchase some of these threads check out the supplier listings and colour charts at the Cottage Garden Threads blog.

(I purchase mine through Cath at Cathron Country)

Only one more block to share and you can stitch it together. I will be sharing the finishing pattern along with the final block on November 1st. Can't wait!!

You can download the pattern for Block 4 of Daisy-Do HERE.

Have a lovely day! We're enjoying Mr E's last real day of school holidays before the rattle and hum of another school term begins. 

Hugs

Jenny
