The other day I snapped these roses growing in a neighbours garden, they are so beautiful and I posted on IG asking what they were (thanks Nicky!). I would like to get some as they remind me of the flowers I had on my bedding as a child. Well lo and behold...
When Lois fell asleep in her buggy I grabbed a quilt to throw over her and remembered there was some of that same sheet in a vintage sheet quilt kit from Mary that I made a while ago for Joan. The roses are definitely on my shopping list.
My husband emailed me this picture from his work:
That's all the random I've got because I need a good nights sleep as I'm on an adventure tomorrow. I'm going to the Art Gallery Fabrics event in Birmingham and am looking forward to a talk by Pat Bravo and a day of inspiration and fabric, spent with sewing and quilting people. Actually I'm so excited I might not sleep at all!
(Just been over to check and there's no link up this week but since I've just written it I'm posting anyway)
LOL I have all the prats I need thanks. Don't mind me, I am frustrated by the garage who didn't fix our car! Wish we were neighbours I would love a nice cuddle with Lois to cheer me up!
ReplyDeleteAh she's a cutey and lovely quilt too! I think that print comes in a few colourways, did you have it in the purple?
ReplyDeleteLOL @ extra prats. Lovely quilt :)
ReplyDeleteLove that your immediately found a print with the flowers on it. Life is like that sometimes, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteOh happy rosy moments! Is it okay to admit I don't know what prats are?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time at the Art Gallery event- lots of photos too please!
ReplyDeleteIs it ok to tell you that the vintage sheet has anemones de Caen on it - sold as cut flowers and grown from bulbs - not roses? Or is that shattering a dream!? Get both they are worth it!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful time with Pat Bravo and laughing over the prats!
ReplyDeleteLove those Ballerina Roses. Joan is so cute. I'd hug her but don't want to wake her up :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved the prats and ballerina roses are so lovely, you have to plant one!
ReplyDeleteI love that vintage quilt! Makes me think I really need to make something out of the fabrics I got from this year's swap!
ReplyDeleteWell one always needs a spare prat or two lying around...
ReplyDeleteI thought they were Ballerina roses and Jan and Carol have just confirmed it!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Spare prats, just in case the world hasn't got enough!!
I think I had that bedding too. It's funny, a lot of the vintage sheets I see in blogs remind me of staying at either one if my Grandmas' houses. I think Australia got the same bed linen as the UK in the 60s and 70s!
