It is amazing what some new fabric and some fresh samples can do for a pattern! I have been having a great time refreshing some "Old Faithfuls" by remaking them in "Grandmother's Flower Garden" fabrics before I take them to Houston. Here is "Sweet 16"...
Here is the "new" beauty of a flower carrybag....
This one is my favourite- the Rebekah Amy quilt. I have made it using the browns, reds, pinks and creams from my range. I think it looks like a block of rocky road!
Here is a shot of the completed quilt top...
I think I am off to make some Mrs Perkins now. They need a bit of refreshing!

They are so gorgeous all jazzed up. I am thinking I may have to make a Rebekah Amy quilt. It looks beautiful in your fabrics. Cant wait to get my hands on your fabrics and new book. :)

It all looks very fresh Rosie.
I bet the sewing machine is getting quite a workout.
The Rebekah Amy quilt reminds me of Neapolitan Ice Cream with Cherries on top! Each version of it looks so different.
Your booth is going to look so wonderful with all these new samples in your very own line.

Hi Rosalie, love the fabric range in the Rebekah Amy quilt...it does look a bit like Rocky Road (I won't show my hubby....his fave!! it'd be gone in one snort!!)...or it could be a neapolitan ice cream, or a cherry ripe...or strawberry milkshake... I'm off for some dessert!!!!

Cute bags too.
Good luck in Houston and the book looks wonderful.

So true how different fabric changes the look! So looking forward to seeing you again in Houston! Safe travels.

Wow, fabulous items Rosalie! I think the quilt looks like Turkish Delight chocolate. Speaking of which, I think we have some of that in the cupboard....
Anyway, I've been admiring your gorgeous fabrics at work (Gail B's) and I just love your book. The quality of the photos and the items and the layout is just superb. Well done!
