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!
Ah she's a cutey and lovely quilt too! I think that print comes in a few colourways, did you have it in the purple?
LOL @ extra prats. Lovely quilt :)
Love that your immediately found a print with the flowers on it. Life is like that sometimes, huh? :)
Oh happy rosy moments! Is it okay to admit I don't know what prats are?
Have a wonderful time at the Art Gallery event- lots of photos too please!
Is 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!
Hope you have a wonderful time with Pat Bravo and laughing over the prats!
Love those Ballerina Roses. Joan is so cute. I'd hug her but don't want to wake her up :-)
Loved the prats and ballerina roses are so lovely, you have to plant one!
I love that vintage quilt! Makes me think I really need to make something out of the fabrics I got from this year's swap!
Well one always needs a spare prat or two lying around...
I thought they were Ballerina roses and Jan and Carol have just confirmed it!
P.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!
