Coming Up Roses...

We are starting off our week with a road trip to Calgary, Alberta...Basting Beauty Blogger (my eldest daughter) is getting MARRIED!

"And we're going to the Chapel of Love...yayayahhhhhh..."  Can you guess what I've been singing all this week?!:o)))

SEW....road trip means I need a NEW hand stitching project!  I turned to my Bucket List...and near the top of the list was this sweet wool mat...It's a Kathy Cardiff project called "In Full Bloom"... I saw it displayed at the 'Country Loft Quilt Shop' in CA a while back and KNEW I would make it!  Plus you just can't go wrong with ANYTHING that Kathy has designed!  Look at what I prepped.....

 The sweetest Roses...stems ready for some twists and turns...

                                     
Pinned and ready for a steam iron! (the camera flash turned my wool colours 'bright'..trust me they are bright but not THAT bright!)

 Threads picked...I think she is ready to roll!

 This is what the pattern looks like finished...sweet...eh?!

 And this is where I found the pattern...

If you don't have this magazine, then you can find the pattern HERE!!  Trust me, this project is dang stinking cute done up!

I won't be blogging for a couple of weeks...I might pop in...or I might not!  Either way, you have a wonderful rest of July...

".... 'cause we're going to the Chapel and we're gonna' get (them) married..." (if you want to hear the real deal then go HERE and be prepared to sing along!!  Come on you know you wanna....)

Have a sunny Sunday and Happy Stitching!~P
