Roses are red …

… or pink, yellow, white, purple.

There are so many marvelous rose colours. I cannot wait til rose blooming season in my garden. I hardly know a more beautiful, fragrant and delicate romantic looking flower.

Because it will last a while til June, when our roses are blooming, I embroidered some nice rose flowers.

Of course, with my favorite stitch, the cross stitch.

On the coarse linen fabric, the thicker cotton yarn is very glamorous.

Combined with a soft cotton, it looks fresh. The blanket stitch is out of my BERNINA 780, my favorite stitch.

I like to pair it with the stamp designs very much.

This small wall hanging quilt I gave to my friend Susanne on her birthday.

The fabric rose at the bottom right is modeled from a Tilda book and decorated with crochet leaves and entwine.

Because the pin cushion from  this post is really too good for needles I made second one.

But, will I really poke needles into?

BTW, this rose is made with 40 polyester yarn, I wanted to try how it looks like. I think it is looking good as with cotton yarn. With the thinner 40s the motif looks so shiny.

Again, I crocheted the border.nadelkissen2-vorn2

I like the small „homemade“ stamp. I wanted to use it for my self-made cards. But it looks even better on the linen.

Crocheting the border is easy, so I don’t translate this 😉

Zuerst umstecht Ihr das ganze Nadelkissen mit einem Kammstich.

Dann umhäkelt Ihr es mit festen Maschen, in jeden Kammstich kommen 2 Maschen.

Nun kommen Stäbchen, immer 6 Stück in eine Masche, eine feste Masche überspringen, das letzte Stäbchen in der übernächsten festen Masche mit Kettstichoder einer festen Masche  befestigen.

Eine Masche überspringen, wieder 6 Stäbchen in die übernächste feste Masche usw. In den 4 Ecken habe ich jeweils 9 statt 6 Stäbchen in die feste Masche gehäkelt.
