Glenrose Patchwork

A Walk through our Garden

 Firstly for all of you that have not been to Glenrose Patchwork and B & B Cottages, this is a picture of our home and Patchwork shop.  We extended on to the house last year and we now have the Patchwork shop attached to the end of the house. We are Warwick's largest Patchwork shop - stocking all your quilting requirements.

Below is a picture of our Cottages - we are the only 4 1/2 star rated accommodation in Warwick.  Ladies coming on our retreats stay in the cottages and sew in our wonderful new workroom - once they stay on a retreat they never want to leave.

The rain this year has been absolutely wonderful, the garden has grown so much this season.  Our property started off as a bush block 19 years ago.  Now we have a wonderful selection of plants and deciduous trees.  Roses are one of our main features in the garden, we have planted Seduction standardroses along the front of the main house. Saliva's are another one of our favorite plants - they are nearly always in flower and love our soil and hash climate.  

        Hope you enjoyed our garden - next time you are in Warwick pop in - we would love to see you.

Have a great day.     Glenis                                                                

"We can Never have to many Bags........

Sue, my dear friend has just finished our latest shop sample, yes it is a bag !!!!!  The pattern is called "Raspberry Ripple" by Melly and Me, and the fabrics are from the range "Frolic" by Moda.  We chose the brown marble for the pleats and the cream floral for the main part of the bag.

Also in the "Frolic range we have completed a child's quilt - Free download on Moda Bakeshop.  The quilt is call "Whirly Wheels Baby Quilt" and designed by Bradie Sparrow.  This quilt is made with a Jelly Roll,  we made our quilt larger to use up most of the strips.  We also made a cushion to go on the bed.  The quilt has been quilted by Rosalie and I just love the quilting.  Rosalie is happy to make sure she finds the right pattern for you.    The photo to the right shows you just some of the quilting, the scoll vine looks great in all the centres of the pinwheels.

 

                                                                 

Hope you have enjoyed looking at our new samples, sometimes it is great for the customer to see the item made up in different fabrics as well.

Until next time happy stitching.

"What a Perfect Day"

What a Perfect Day  - stitcheries designed by Robyn Allen-Waters.  I have used the first three blocks to make up this small wall hanging.  Sometimes I  just what to make a small quilt. I really enjoyed making this quilt and hope to have it on display in the shop this week - need the husband and the ladder to hang it up!!!!!

If you would like the stitcheries please give us a ring and we will be more than happy to post them out to you.  Pattern for the quilt will be finished after Christmas - that give you time to complete the stitcheries.......

Stitchery pattern includes small hat button and pattern. 

 

Sorry it has been so long.......

I have been on a bit of a break,  after having an operation.  Starting to get back into the swing of things again.  I must say I have enjoyed my time catching up on some hand work.  I have finished the "French Collection" and have dropped it of to Rosalie to be quilted... One UFO nearly finished !!!!!    Don't worry I have plenty of other UFO's in the sewing room, I think I would need four years to empty all the boxes with half finished projects.  That must make you all feel much happier about what is in you cupboards half finished.

When Rosalie finishes the quilting I have about 168 buttons to sew onto all the stitcheries, that will take me the best part of a week!   Instructions how I pieced my quilt together will be on my website in the next couple of weeks.  Look under "Free Patterns"

Happy stitching.    Glenis
