The nine patterns are finished and ready to go out to the shops. I haven't had the quilt quilted yet, but it is in the capable hands of the multi talented Melinda from "Around the block" quilting. I have done a sort of "mock- up" photo of the quilt to show you. The blocks have been joined in photoshop and a couple of borders added which are not actual fabric on the photo but are fabric on the quilt. I have used only three simple fabrics for the patchwork around the stitcheries, one red, one green, and one latte coloured. The pattern is designed to suit beginners as the patchwork is very simple. This photo gives you a bit of an idea of what it looks like.
I know I told you I would post more photos of the book launch but Penelope waits has done a better job of posting the day than I could ever dream of. If you want to see more, pay her blog a visit. It is delicious!

Whoo hoo. Christmas. I love it Rosie. It is so cute. My to do list is just ridiculous at the moment. Especially as I have all the projects in Gift to do to. My 8 year old daughter is working on her first stitchery and it was from Gift so she is a very happy camper too now. Yeah!!! Cant wait to get the redwork Christmas pattern though. It is that time of the year after all.

Hi Rosalie,
I have fallen in love with your Redwork Christmas. I would love to win it maybe you could hand deliver it to me when you meet me in Swan Hill in August. I booked in as soon as I heard you were coming to Miss Sampson's. I have finished many of your quilts, I am doing my first needle turn quilt, The Joy of Life. I love your work and look forward to doing many more.

What i don't understood is in fact how you're now not actually a lot more neatly-favored than you might be right now. You are so intelligent. You realize therefore considerably with regards to this subject, made me for my part believe it from a lot of numerous angles. Its like men and women aren't fascinated unless it's something to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. At all times deal with it up!

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
