Rose Fairy © Joan A. Elliott Photo courtesy of Cross Stitch Collection
My Rose Fairy is now in preview in the current issue (195) of Cross Stitch Collection. I chose to use the delicate flowers of the wild rose for this design. Varieties of these softly blushing blossoms grow freely by the sea as well as in the hills to the north here in the Eastern US. As always, she has lots of Mill Hill beads and sparkling Kreinik metallics to add a magical touch. She is stitched on Polstitches 28HPI ‘Fairy Dreams’ Jobelan, which I think suits her just perfectly! Look for the chart next month in issue 196. I’ll be posting the supply list tomorrow.

I love that you used the wild roses! I think it the perfect match for a wild and beautiful fairy.
I’m having a hard time deciding which is my favorite. Can’t wait to see the other two designs!

So beautiful. Love the colors of this one also I am going to have to do the whole set

I’ve been haunting here waiting for the new one!! GORGEOUS! Can’t wait to see more! I’ve noticed that the flower fairies are coming out in consecutive issues……..is there a chance that means you’ll be having another series this year in CSC as well?
(wishful thinking for us subscribers) LOL

Yes Joan. Tell us YES please!!

Sorry darlings…I am sworn to secrecy… but I am also working on something that I think you will like with a US publisher and planned for later this year

Congrats Joan on all your success!

Will it be the US Cross Stitcher, Joan? I’ve been considering getting a subscription, and I definitely will if you’re gonna have patterns in there this year.
Mar 18, 2011 @ 00:55:52
Sadly, the US Cross Stitcher is no longer around. It is now part of the magazine Crafts & Things. I haven’t done anything for them lately, so this is not it.

Whatever it be, I do hope it will available in Europe too
I’m eagerly waiting for more
Thank you for all you do

Aw, didn’t know that about Cross Stitcher!
Still, I completely blame you for me caving in and getting a subscription to CSC. Just wish it didn’t take so long to get here internationally! Good thing I have something to do while I’m waiting.

This Rose fairy is a must to stitch, I can’t wait to be stitching this one. I just noticed that the materials list for the fabric colour on the floss and embellishments page is different to the one listed above on this page.
Fairy dreams or fairy footprints?
Which ever it is, it’s going to be my favourite fairy.
Thank you Joan.

Sorry for the mix up. She is stitched on Fairy Dreams. I’ve corrected the supply list.
Mar 27, 2011 @ 18:45:46
She is gorgeous and I hope to be able to get this design–currently stitching up Iris Fairy and I think Rose Fairy is going to go very nicely with Iris Fairy

After I finish my lady bird fairy for which I am eagerly waiting for the fabric to arrive,I will start the rose fairy.She is gorgeous and in my favourite colours.Thank you Joan for the design.You are awesome!!
