Coming Soon: Grandma Edith's Rose

When I was very young (3-5 years old?), My great-grandma babysat occasionally. I remember watching Sesame Street with her, and coloring. She was always doing needlepoint of some sort. Cross Stitch, Embroidery. I don't really remember what it is. I do remember that she taught me embroidery. She even traced Elmo onto some fabric, and I embroidered Elmo!

As I was developing this quilt pattern, loosely inspired by a vintage cross stitch pattern, I remembered her. I remembered how much she loved roses, and how she was always doing needlepoint. She would have loved this quilt, and thus, it is named after her.

Fabric Requirements are below for a throw size quilt. The pattern also lists alternative sizes, if you want it smaller or larger. Gather your fabrics. The pattern will be released soon!
