I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck. ~Emma Goldman

When I found the quote above.....I thought..."how fitting".......so why not have roses.......
instead of diamonds........around your neck?
I showed you this coat in my last post

 and decided to embroider red roses all along the front and soon........the collar.


 I decided ... to do the leaves in green..........instead of red........


I want the roses to be noticed and I think by doing the leaves in green.......it will draw the eye to the embroidery when the coat is worn........don't you think?

I still have a lot to do..........and I am not sure how much I will do. 
But I want this coat to "sing" with embroidery.
Hope this finds you happily creating in your corner of the world.

    That is certainly a feast for the eyes, beautiful. You have made a simple coat into a treasure, a heirloom.

    The green does highlight the lovely rose. Soo pretty.

    Yes, I like your color choices which I am sure are even more beautiful in person. Roses/Diamonds...well I select flowers but not necessarily roses. I like the idea of stitching on the coat. Personalizing store bought clothes makes them so special.

    Elegant embroidery. The green color shows up the red rose. It's very pleasing.

    I prefer roses any old day! Diamonds just wouldn't work around here. The coat is looking great with your beautiful work.

    Hello Kathleen,

    Your newest projects are all so pretty. When I was a young woman in college, I had a friend that had a few collared jackets, and she would embroider the sleeves and sometimes the pockets. I always envied her beautiful talent. I'm hoping this message is able to show. Wordpress users have been having trouble with Blogspot commenting.

    The coat is a delight and with that lovely embroidery is certain to be a splash when out and about.

    Have a blessed day, dear one.

    This is just lovely. The coat is beautiful even without embroidery-but you are making it a work of art.
