In the beginning there was a Rose

Sometimes I finish my works very fast - at once - for some days.
Sometimes it took me months to find the perfect result.
But anyone has his UFO's, have you?
I am so proud when found these stripes to frame my rose boarder from Road home Row along.
I think they are gorgeous - the rose as a piece of endless ancient boarder.

Now it is on my design wall waiting for inspiration for quilting design.
Do you have any suggestions?

Wall pocket organizer

All emotions about my participating in Road Home Row along are in the past and I played yesterday with a wall organizer for dear friends of mine.
I have some leftovers from worn jeans and began cut and sew spontaneous.
Pockets - they have to be on the wall organizer.
Two of them I used direct from the jeans.
The third one was made very fast and easy from a piece of organza and a piece of batik fabric.
To prevent fraying of organza I burned the edge by a soldering iron.

The closer view.

 

There are left the buttons only from this pairs of jeans, but I have idea to use them, too.

Visit here soon to see this project.

Happy sewing!

The Road Home Row along - my tribute

Have you heard about this Row Along? Is started on 6 of September! Each blogger will share the row as free pattern so you could collect all of them. Amy  from Sew Incredibly Crazy helps Marian in this adventure.
Visit here for the schedule and don't forget to check for the giveaways.Cross my finger!

When received an invitation from Marian  from Seams to be Sew to to enter the Blog Hop Road Home Row Along   I have no doubt about my decision.
One month before I had created quilts for a contest in my country. The theme was Traditions so I had many ideas to share.
My country is famous with rose fields and rose oil produced from the flowers.The roses were embroidered on the clothing in the past. There are many table runners designed with tapestry of roses on them.
I always interested in crossing over different crafts - this time cross stitching and patchwork. So designed this rose block.

This block is very versatile - collecting some of them you can use as a boarder.

You can rotate and stitch together.

Make a mirror image is another possibility.

Sewing a block is easy with using a fusible interfacing grid.
If you have no specialized shop for such grid the easiest way to prepare this block is to print some sheets with 1,5 inch squares and use common fusible interfacing.

Cut and stick so many to have a grid 12 x 24.

Place the finished paper sheet with a grid under a piece of fusible interfacing (keep in mind that glue side has to be up)

Now cut the white, green and red squares.

Ordered the small pieces according diagram on a fusible interfacing with little help of glue stick

When all pieces are on their places iron well. If you have not a big table order on the carpet, or order and iron on sections.

Then sewing each vertical fold, trim and iron seam allowances open.
.

Then stitched horizontally seams, trim and iron.
Elizabeth Hartmann from Oh Franson shared very detailed tutorial.

I wander how to finish it - adding a frame and make a wall hanging or finish as a table runner.
What do you think?



The pattern is available via my Craftsy shop, FREE through end of October 2016.
