This piece is inspired by memories of my Grandmother who’s name was Rose and my daughter, who’s middle name is Rose. Sadly my Grandmother never got to see Jennifer Rose but I am sure she would have been very proud!

She grew honesty in her garden and my Mum does too. She was a fantastic quilter, needlewomen and dried, flowers. Her garden had many varities of Roses. Happy Memories.

Vintage Sewing Collection

This collection of sewing items is on my studio wall.

I am often being given antique sewing articles which I just love

and put them on this spool holder, making their own style of picture.

There are items from my childhood and Grandmother’s sewing box.
