Rose and Violet’s Garden Projects

January 5, 2021 By Lauren at Molly and Mama 8 Comments

When I heard that Miss Rose Sister Violet was releasing a fabric range, I was so excited. Riley Blake Designs very kindly sent me some advance yardage of Rose and Violet’s Garden to play with, and I must confess that it was exactly what I expected from this vintage loving company! The dreamy pastel tones, the dainty florals, whimsical bouquets, fluttering swallows and butterflies all combine in the most delicious way. Busy floral prints work with wide stripes, rows of beautiful cursive text, dots, and more.

I particularly loved these three floral prints and the sweet spots shown below, and decided to use them in a pretty pastel version of my Serious Sewist’s Set, with a serious sized pin cushion and a scissor charm, both featuring a sweet appliqué bee and English paper pieced shapes.

BUY SERIOUS SEWIST’S PATTERN

As I stitched the English paper pieced top, added the felt bee appliqué and the hand quilted details, I got more excited. It came together so nicely because everything complemented each other so well.

Here’s the completed pin cushion.

And here’s a close up of the felt bee hexagon. If you’d like to know more about how to sew hexagons and English paper piecing, you might like my Beginner’s Guide.

As an extra little bonus, I decided to design a sweet scissor charm to go with pin cushion. I feel like it’s just the right size and weight. And it can double as a pin cushion to store needles and pins while you’re in the middle of a project.

Because these projects are only small, they really don’t showcase the rest of this beautiful collection! So I am also working on a gorgeous quilt to share with you soon. If you’d like to know when this new pattern is released, please sign up for my fortnightly newsletter to stay in the loop. You’ll also receive access to this beautiful and FREE embroidery pattern!

Ask for Rose and Violet’s Garden at your local quilting store. There’s 21 different prints in the collection and a beautiful panel too.

And grab your own copy of the Serious Sewist’s Pin Cushion from my store.

Happy stitching, Lauren x

    Lauren, I just wanted to say how absolutely gorgeous this pin cushion is. I have been an avid sewer/quilter for many years with a stash too large for me to admit. In the past 5yrs I have sadly done very little…I know your site and patterns are aimed at beginner level but it has certainly inspired me to get back into my poor neglected craft room and much loved craft. Thank you for your beautiful inspiration. I have signed up for your newsletter, downloaded the free embroidery pattern for beginners….and wait with baited breath for the release of this delightful projects pattern.
    Thank you again. Just what I needed.
    Kind regards Kim Patterson.

💗 Have you started the year with some English p 💗 Have you started the year with some English paper piecing? The weekly #sipteaandepp party is continuing with the lovely Larisa from @stitchingnotes and this year I’m making way for the very talented Irina from @nordiccrafter to become the new co-host. Please go and visit the profiles of these clever creatives to learn all about what 2021 holds for #sipteaandepp. The girls have some exciting plans in place and I know you’re going to love it!

This week’s theme is all about Introductions, where you’re encouraged to share a few random facts about yourself. So here’s a little about me. 

🤍 Before starting this wonderful journey into sewing, I was a primary school teacher

🤍My first degree was a bachelor of Behavioural Science / Psychology

🤍 I’ve been crafty for as long as I remember but I also love art, illustration, gardening and baking

🤍 I’m not a traditional tea drinker (which was a little strange as the co-host of #sipteaandepp 😂 

🤍 I’m inspired mostly by colour and nature. I’m drawn to anything muted, delicate, pastel, pretty, dainty and floral. Yet nothing in my home or wardrobe would give you that impression! 

With so many new followers joining me in the new year, I’d love to know more about you. And if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask! Lauren 💗

Honey bees are so amazing! I really wish I wasn’ Honey bees are so amazing! I really wish I wasn’t allergic. So while we gave my father in law a hive, we keep native Australian stingless bee hives instead. And they are the friendliest little creatures. I love finding sewing inspiration from our garden 🐝💐
