    One of the hardest things about a quilt (for me)is getting started; Trying to figure out my design and the fabric selection. This is a great example of how simplicity can be so beautiful.

    I love this quilt! The way the fabrics are laid out in the center, the patchwork border and the quilting – all fabulous!

    That is a really neat quilt and there are time I just do not want to use one or two fabrics from the line but the whole line.
    Yes, I have some rose info for you. First you need to find a sunny location that will get 4 to 6 hours of sun but try for 6. Need to trim off any dead or broken roots or stems. Depending on how large the rose bush is, you will need to make sure that the crown is 1″-2″ above ground level and about 2′ – 3′ wide. We use that as a rule of thumb. Fill the hole with a good soil mix. Over at my nursery center they acarry a brand that I like from E.B. Stone for Roses or any good brand they may recommend. Fill the hole and gently tamp down to eliminate air pockets and water well. Do not let it dry out completely. This is a new rose and the roots need to acclimate in to their new home. E.B. Stone also has great rose food also. But if you can get some garden compost that is the best. I have a compost bin and I used that to feed my roses when they started their new growth early this year and WOW! Also, depending on how cold your winters are you may need to take one more step then me. After you have trimmed your roses for the season (I usually trim mine down in January) you may need to protect them from the frost/snow. I’ve read covering them with burlap or mulch. This you may need to ask the people at the garden center about this. I can not wait to see some photos. What kind did you buy? Have a great weekend.
