A soft fabric rose is the perfect accent to dress up any of your home decoration projects, whether for a specific holiday or any other time of the year. This lovely rose is actually made from our new “faux silk” ruffled quilt binding.

Just a small amount of binding with a few hand stitches and you have a lovely accent to use on tie backs, fabric photo frames, or a Victorian Christmas stocking. The photos below illustrate some of our ideas, or use your own imagination for where you want to use them. On the tree, on a wreath, on a stemmed glass as a favor, or with items made using the other coordinated trims – the ideas are endless!
