At the mean time, when looking outside the window to my garden I see only roses, roses, roses!!!
At all there are about 20 rose trees and all of them are in flower.
In pink, in red, in light vanilla yellow, dark pink. We have old roses, dog roses, rose trees and rambler roses. Even a very old rose I inherited from my grandma every year is flowering in beautiful yellow and I am remebering the days when I was a girl in my grandparents garden…
And when I am getting out of the house into the garden I can distinguish between them all.
Most of the roses are flowering more then once in the year up to the october.
But what happens after october? I am looking ahead.
Why not letting them proceed their flowers on fabrics, nicely embroidered in cotton thread.
Do you want to see how I am doing this? Do you have a hoop of minimum 13x18cm. Then this is perfectly for you.
Or you even own a larger hoop like the 18x30cm? Do you want to complement your small roses collection with this one:
Both collections have this in common: they are looking so romantic and subtle, each stitch is tripled. Thus the cross stithces are looking like made by hand with thick cotton thread.
My advice is to use 30 cotton embroidery thread. Of course you can use 40 poly thread or the matter sewing thread.
Here I filled a simple white photo frame with one of the rose motifs.
A pin cushion is done in no time at all: Embroider your motif of choice, fill the fabric with batting, close it with a rubber band and place it in a cup.
Maybe a roses cup?
Here I used the bigger roses wreath from the 18x30cm collection for a round doily.
For the rose border I used the bigger file as well. Each motif is there in 18cm length. Put them together and you get a meter-long band.
Whatever you like…
The final shot!
It is not too hard to embroider the files, there is not too much color changes. Save this time and go out and watch real summer roses.
I wish you a nice weekend and a happy Friday
wünscht Euch Eure
