I just picked this beauty in my backyard. It is a Don Juan and it has a beautiful scent. This old rosebush just keeps going, turning out roses year after year, for the past twenty some years...even in February.
Making a little progress on "Libby Bert". I was low on a specific blue so I had to order a bit more. Of course it is not the exact color I had, but I will mix it in the best I can. It seems the hooking muses have it out for me lately. Regardless, I am enjoying Libby.
For those of you that asked, the pattern is "Libby Bert". I cannot remember the company and cannot find it anywhere on the internet. Sorry. It is dated 2006 so I've had it a good while. I'm thinking about making her into a pillow with a proddy edge. She'd be cute on my white slipcovered sofa for the summer. Time will tell.
For all of you in the path of this next weather front, stay safe. I know spring is out there somewhere!
Enjoy the day,
Robyn

Oh Robyn, I love those Roses, my favorite. I can never winter them, but the smell is heavenly... Love your Liberty rug, very nice.Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteVery nice to see a Rose blooming especially since so many of us have snow, ice and cold.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sampler by that wonderful red rose! So wishing for some flowers to bloom here. We might break a record low tonight...a cold one. Yikes. Janice

Love your rug! Hope the blues work out. Looks like you all don't have winter worries -- beautiful rose!
ReplyDeleteLiberty Bert is looking great. Frankly I like using different values of the same color in a background. I think the mixture of the blues works well so you can see the movement of the hooking. And that is why I enjoy hooking with wool strips rather than yarn too.
ReplyDeleteGot hit with another 4" of snow on top of what was left from the 6 1/2" of last week. But thankfully we didn't get here the levels of snow a lot of unfortunately people received.
Can you adopt me? Roses blooming in your backyard garden in February!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so eager to get my fingers in the garden soil and seeing any sign of life outdoors.
You got a lot done on Liberty Bert. It will make a lovely pillow for the summer.
Take care,
Hugs,
JB
