Roses

It is that time of year when roses are starting to bloom.

My "Roses" quilt is done.  My sister's elderly neighbour just had surgery for breast cancer and she has been gifted this quilt to enjoy and help to keep her warm.  She said to me that she is always cold.  Perfect gift!

This quilt was started by Andree M. and it was passed to me in her bags of scraps.  There was no pattern included in the bag.  So, I pulled out all the pieces and formed a plan.  Some of the pieces had to be sewn together to make longer pieces to work in the blocks.   There is a mix of cotton and poly/cotton fabrics in this quilt.   Still, I do think the quilt turned out quite lovely.

Again, a photo at our cottage lake.  By the time we get out there again, these daisies will be gone until next June.  It was good while they lasted.

Those field of daisies belong to our neighbour and from our front porch, we could see a mass of white flowers.  So, we just went over and did some quick photos.  Again, the mosquitoes are awful.

Hanging onto the window sill of the old shed.

Back at home, a couple of rocks are holding my quilt on the wall so that you can get a better look at the design.

Another quilt done.  How lovely is that!
