Trio of Makes - Rose and Violets Garden

Hello and tis the season! Here is my latest project for the highly anticipated collection Rose & Violets Garden designed by the beautiful Miss Rose Sister Violet for Riley Blake Designs. Miss Rose Sister Violet designs the most beautiful clothing, home decor, and gifts  in lovely linen, cotton, lace and rose prints. This collection has captured the essence of their brand and is stunningly beautiful, floral, femine, soft, and just plain pretty!

I wanted to highlight every print from the collection, so I made three things -  a Rose Patchwork Tote, a Rose Mini Bag, and a lovely Wall Mini Quilt. The prints marry well together that any project you decide to make will look lovely. I quilted using gold lame' thread for all three projects to accent the prints and give it something special.

Here is what I made:

Rose and Violets Garden - Rose Mini Bag, Rose Patchwork Tote, Mini  Quilt

Here is the Rose Mini Bag. I wanted to create something cute and mini. I quilted the body, added lace details, and used charming gold hardware such as the bow twist lock. Instead of a zipper, I used a drawstring bag closure and added the sweetest pink resin cord caps from one of my favorite fabric notion shop Sunny Day Supply. 

Here is the Rose Patchwork Tote Bag. I used a patchwork design to highlight each print from the collection. The back of the bag has a large side pocket, hidden by lovely vintage lace. I added a pretty zipper to secure the bag. I used wood handles as well as an optional adjustable bag strap.

Here is the mini quilt. I was so excited for these lovely panels in the collection. I've been looking for artwork to complete my sewing room and this just looks lovely next to my antique cross stitch art piece. I used vintage lace and combined it with the cream striped print in the collection. Each panel has sweet sayings on them, which go lovely with my wall art. 

Rose and Violets Garden should be arriving this month, so check your favorite retailer to see if they carry it. 

I hope you enjoyed my projects and have a lovely, joyous holiday!

Thank you!
