A Red Rose

A dozen red roses presented as a gift says so much, but a single red rose says even more. The Greek myth of Aphrodite tells of how, as the goddess of love emerged from the sea, a rose bush sprung from the earth. As Aphrodite stepped ashore, a thorn pricked her foot and a drop of her blood stained the rose red. As long ago as 7th century BC the Greek poet Sappho declared the rose to be the Queen of the Flowers. Our new range called A Red Rose, has been created to showcase the simple beauty of a rose in all its splendour, as it travels from rich, dark red through bright scarlet to pure white. 5 rose based designs, which have been coloured to provide this variety of tone and texture, are teamed with 2 classic geometrics from our All About Colour range, and all 18 skus can be used together to create a fabulous quilting project.
