A Rose for A Rose

Eddy's boss, Cordell, is a real rose aficionado.  Since we've moved to CA, we've become increasingly interested in roses ourselves!  Recently, Cordell gifted us a beautiful rose from his very own collection called Sheila's Perfume. Eddy brought it home from work one day!

It's a young plant, but we've already gotten two fragrant and beautiful flowers from it.

I wanted to say thank you to Cordell, so I selected a paper pieced rose pattern and prepared the pieces and the fabric.

Here is the first unit pieced.

Tada! All pieced,

and quilted.

All bound up and finished.

Thanks to Cordell for a lovely plant we will enjoy for many years to come!
