my version of the Scandinavian Rose quilt


is all finished!
I managed to take a picture outside this morning, before the rain came.


I loved this design by Rosalie Quinlan the first time I saw it,
but it was a very long time in making. 
Looking back through my blog, I can see that I started the first embroidery in February 2013!
I added an extra border, machine quilted inside the blocks and hand quilted the rest, and embellished with few buttons.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I have always loved this design too but I'm not very good at embroidery. What a stunning tribute to Rosalie Quinlan!

    Radka, that is absolutely beautiful, the time taken is irrelevant, its the pleasure you had in stitching it that's important. Well Done!

      Hello Beverley, unfortunately I am not able to answer you directly, because you are "no-reply comment" blogger, which means that I can't reply to you by email, so I hope you can read this.
      Yes, the Scandinavian Rose is for me, and it is already hanging on our dinning room wall!
      Thank you for stopping by!
