How I do wish the roses really were back in my garden. But since this will not be the case for a good while yet, I will have to get my "rose-fix" elsewhere. And what better place than in the bedroom. On the old chair.
For the past three years this very chair has been clad in a white vintage sheet from France, but since it was about time to give the loose cover a wash, I decided to replace it with these roses.
The rose fabric is my favourite of all Laura Ashley fabrics (long since discontinued, I believe). I love the slightly vintage, 50s look of it. And I love the various shades of pink. Just as I love the cotton/linen mix of the fabric itself.
I made this loose cover years ago, but for the past three years it has been "resting" on the loft. But now it is back, while the white one is in the wash. And not just for now... I think I shall leave the roses on for a good while. At least until I get to enjoy real ones in my garden again.
Thank you to Jodi@Pleasant-Home for your lovely post and kind words about Mias Landliv.

So beautiful, so sweet!! :-)
Mia... what a lovely chair cover! Your white was so crisp and pretty, but the roses are so cheery and bring a smile. You have inspired me to pull out a beautiful old painting of a basket of yellow roses to re-frame and enjoy. The next time I pass by the floral display at the local grocery store... I'll be even more tempted to pick up a bouquet of pretty roses. Sending you warm thoughts and good wishes from our little home in south Georgia, USA. Susan
Beautiful roses in bloom! roll on june! jennyx
En nydelig oppmuntring i februar! Roser ER vakkert, i hagen og over alt!
It is lovely. I have a wing back chair in my sewing room that is covered in a floral fabric! Love it.

Beautiful! Roses are my favorite flowers. :)
Hello! I'm new to your blog and really enjoy it. Wow-you made the rose cover for your chair!?! You are so talented!! It is beautiful!
Pretty chair cover, Mia! You are a talented seamstress and so creative! Still loving your blog, Bess
Hei Mia.
Så nydelig innlegg,elsker farger så dette *LIKER* jeg veldig godt.
Klem fra Mette.
Pretty rose cover and I love the crochet pillow; it's gorgeous. It looks perfect and right at home in the chair. You have a eye for putting things together. Have a great day. :-)
Hi Mia, I really enjoy reading your blog and seeing all the beautiful things you make. The white cover was great but this wow and you made the cover you are really a good seamstress. Now I know what kind of fabric I'm going to use on my chairs in the quilting studio nothing came to me until I saw your chair. Debbie from Delaware (near the ocean) in the U.S.
Absolutt romantisk.
Klem
Romantisk, søtt og berre herlig!
Å ja Mia eg elskar roser og og stolen var vanvittig vakker!!!
Klem!
waffles with jam, coffee, and that chair!
Tusen takk. Nå ble alt litt enklere og jeg er klar for å ta fatt på det på lørdag. Da er resten av familien på ski. Så får jeg ro til å konse på teppene mine. Var så heldig at May også kom innom butikken i dag, så da fikk jeg litt tips og framgangsmåter av henne også. Lurer på om jeg skal lage noen "dotter" på teppets bakside, i knutene som knyttes. Har sett at det er det på gamle tepper;)
Nydelig roseestol du har. Håper du har rosete du kan sitte å nyte i den.
Klem:)
It is beautiful. I hope you don't mind but I have been pinning a lot of your pictures o Pinterest. they are so inspiring. Cherrie
It's so beautiful!!!! Oh, I'm such a Laura Ashley girl, myself. Now, isn't it funny how a change - even from white to color - can be so refreshing? And, it's perfect for those Valentine's colors - so welcome in February. I got a cheery lift just looking at it, myself. =]
Really...hooray for pretty roses! =]
xo
Looks like heaven to me! I so needed to see some roses.
What a beautiful slip cover! I love roses too--especially pink roses. :)
Hei Mia..
Dette var skikkelig øyesnop, nydelig fargegleder hos deg. Får helt engelsk country feeling her jeg sitter:)
Hos meg er det travelt for tiden, men kjekt også. Tusen takk for koselig hilsen!
Stor godhelgklem fra meg
rett og slett, nydelig ble denne stolen, la det hvite ligge litt på "hvil" etter sin vask, så har du dine roser i hus til de begynner å blomstre ute....
God helg ;)
Du laver noget fantastisk flot håndarbejde! Billederne er lige til at komme i forårshumør af!
I love your blog, your granny's blanquets and your roses! big hug from Spain! Carmen. ^_^
Herlige roser !! Så nydelig dette teppet ditt også :-) Ha ei fin helg !
It looks so pretty and the perfect place to snuggle up with a book and a cup of tea. XX
I'm not real big on pink, but that has got to be the prettiest fabric I have ever seen...to bad its discontinued. Beautiful job on the cover.
As always thanks for the beautiful photos.
blessings, jilly
toll ... es sieht so gemühtlich aus .... und langweilig ist dagegen pures weiß . Ein richtig schöner Kontrast
LG heidi
WOW! You did that cover yourself? You are really creative and talented.
very beautiful! I like the crochet cushion cover, too, do you have a pattern for that?
Hi Cecilia! I am glad to hear you like the crochet cushion. Yet I am sorry I can not help you with the pattern. You see, I have bought the crochet square at the flea market (I think someone had a go at the particular pattern, and then gave it up), and I have just sewn the square onto a piece of linen and turned it into a cushion, adding the lace.
