Pink Roses Please ~

Oh yes.  Pink. and Pink Roses ~ Yes Please!

This time of year… it’s not difficult to crave the dreamy look of spring-fresh, pink roses, is it not?  For me, it was the perfect {joyful*january} project!!  While spring is {still} just a dream for Northern Montana Peeps… it’s always {near and dear} in my heart!  And that’s a great place to begin!

By the way, this quilt is one of the Collage Quilts being featured in a TRUNK SHOW with many other of my designs, too, hanging out at Aurora Sewing Center, in East Aurora, New York!  Yay!  In case you’re from that area, they’re having a class, so check them out!

These pink rosey beauties are cut from Nicey Jane – a fabric designed by Heather Bailey.

I particularly like the size of the rose itself; it’s about 6-7″ or so ~ perfect for it’s starring role in the 29″ circular pattern I designed, titled “Good Tidings.”  You may have seen earlier this past Christmas, where I had lots of fun design time using Christmas Poinsettias.  So ~  it was time to develop the Spring Version!  If YOU like it and purchase the pattern this month, I’m including both photo versions; the spring and the Christmas one, too!  *You’ll want to keep your eyes out for flowers throughout the season {and Christmas comes out in the quilt shops in July ya know!}  It will be here… before we know it!!

So ~ I hope you are inspired to jump into spring with a lovely, creative version of Spring Good Tidings ~ of your very own!!

Because. Well, spring is always very, very, good tidings!
