Some Rolling Stones Are Starting To Gather Moss


Rolling Stone
9 inch block

I started a Rolling Stone (aka Broken Wheel) quilt last year. My goal is 48 blocks and I now have half that many.  I love these blocks in aqua, purple and red and need to get this quilt finished so my Rolling Stones gather no moss. 

And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)

Jan. 24 - I celebrated getting caught up on hubby's medical bills a few days ago. Since I had a few dollars left after that I decided to do more celebrating so treated myself and ordered 3 floribunda roses to be delivered in the Spring - Hot Cocoa,, Ketchup and Mustard and La Park. Can't wait! I LOVE roses!

  2. What great names for the rose hybrids! Lovely colorway for your rolling stones. Do you use a special ruler for square-in-square or measure, pin, and sew?

  3. I love your Rolling Stones blocks. The colours are just lovely together. I'm not much of a garden girl but I'm looking forward to seeing these roses. Their names are very descriptive. Enjoy! ;^)

  8. Hot cocoa is one of my favorites! A friend gave me hers because it got shaded out. It has the best dark green shiny foliage. It is not fussy and the dusky brown red is exquisite. I have a rolling stone on the longarm right now. It is going to take a while. Yours is wonderfully colored.
