NEW July Villa Rosa Designs Rose Card Quilt Patterns and a Curated VRD Patriotic Pattern List

Hello Quilty Friends!

Happy Thursday to you!

I trust everyone had a great 4th of July? Me, I enjoyed my share of picnic foods — yummy — and went to a local fireworks display. I was amazed the folks shooting off the fireworks were able to do so in the intermittent downpour we were having at the time. Because of the rain situation, I felt that these fireworks were especially wonderful and I even saw some new fireworks I’ve never seen before.

I am still reconfiguring my sewing space and I haven’t gotten my sewing machine up and running yet, so sadly, I do not have a quilt tutorial for you this week. My machine is currently surrounded by piles of quilty goodness which all need to find a new permanent home — too bad it doesn’t just relocate itself without my help.

I hope to have a new summer tutorial for next week — that is if I get some quality time cleaning and organizing all my quilting stuff to unearth my sewing machine once again.

Yay! Guess what part of the month it is??? You guessed it — it’s the Thursday after the first Friday of July…..which means, of course, NEW PATTERNS! Woohoo!

NEW July VRD Rose Card Patterns

Can you hear the trumpets and see the confetti???

Here they are — our newest VRD Rose Card patterns!

Aren’t they GREAT??? Absolutely something for everyone! And 1776 is even perfectly-sized for your next Quilts of Valor quilt.

Grab your own print set of July’s 5 Rose Cards HERE (sorry, the card sets are not available as a digital set, you would have to order each pattern individually).

BUT WAIT! There’s more!

You’ll LOVE this month’s table runner, Banner Day. It would even look grand hung vertically or horizontally on a wall, if that’s your preference. SEW many options to enjoy this striking runner!

Get your print Banner Day pattern HERE or a digital pattern HERE.

AND, of course, here’s July’s new Snack Mat, Independence Day.

These snack mats are perfect for summertime snacking! Make a set for yourself and a set for someone special.

Get your print Independence Day pattern HERE or a digital pattern HERE.

Which project will you make first???

As I don’t have a tutorial for you today, I thought I’d create another curated list of patterns for you. This time, in honor of our recent July 4th holiday and celebrations, let’s feature Patriotic quilts.

Patriotic Villa Rosa Rose Card Quilt Patterns

For this list, I’m going to concentrate on the print patterns, but please know that each of these patterns is available as a digital download as well (except for the 12 Quilts of Valor Collection but each of the patterns included in the QOV Collection are available as individual downloaded patterns just not in the special red, white, and blue covers).

Of course, the 12 Quilts of Valor collection has to come first on my list. Do you have this collection yet? If not, you’ll want to add it because all 12 patterns are perfectly sized for Quilts of Valor quilts. And a portion of the sales are donated to the Quilts of Valor Foundation. It’s a win-win-win — for you, for QOVF, and for service members.

If you do have this set, have you made any of them? If so, which designs? And which one are you going to make next?

Get your Quilts of Valor Collection HERE

Of course I have to include the new July pattern, 1776!

Get 1776 HERE

Get American Made HERE

Here’s Banner Day, of course.

Get Banner Day HERE

Get Bella Vista HERE

Get Crazy Stars HERE

Get Daring Spirit HERE

Get Firecracker HERE

Get Gallant HERE

Get Independence Day HERE

Get Liberty HERE

Get Liberty Bell HERE

Get Petit Fours HERE

Get Pride HERE

Get Salute HERE

Get Sew Charmed HERE

Get Star Rail HERE

Get Star Spangled HERE

Get Stars N Stripes HERE

Get Unfurled HERE

Get Wraps HERE

Get Zig Zag HERE

Well, that’s my list of the red, white, and blue for today. I hope you add these wonderful quilts to your Rose Card collection if you don’t already have them.

Of course, keep in mind that just about any VRD pattern can be patriotic if you choose the right fabrics!

Happy stitching!

Until next week —

Sew. Laugh. Repeat.

Always,

Tricia @ VRD

GREAT Villa Rosa Designs Rose Card Patterns for Beginners or When You Need a Quilt in a Hurry

Hello Quilty Friends!

Happy Thursday to you!

I can tell summer is coming fast, can’t you?

My days are getting busier and busier and I have less and less time to spend quality time with my sewing machine and I don’t even have kids at home. What about those of you who do? College kids are graduating. Younger kids will be off for summer vacation soon. And so on and so on. . .until school starts up again in August and September. So what’s a quilter supposed to do???

Or maybe you’re a new quilter just learning how to sew a 1/4″ seam and how to safely use a rotary cutter? Sometimes it’s hard to find patterns that match your developing skills.

Or maybe you want to teach someone how to quilt? How do you pick out a project that will be satisfying but doable? Something fun and not boring?

I’m glad you stopped right here at the VRD blog because I’m going to show you a curated collection of Rose Card quilt patterns perfect for the beginning quilter as well as the super busy person who also happens to be a quilter (yep, I mean YOU).

I haven’t created a curated list of Rose Cards for a while so I thought it would be fun to share some of the fastest, most fun, and satisfying projects in our Villa Rosa Designs Rose Card collection.

Here’s my criteria for this curated list:

Only squares and/or rectangles
Simple design with easy execution
No more than 2 different simple blocks per project
No more than 5 pieces in a single block
No sashing
No borders

Here goes!

It was really hard to choose the above Rose Card patterns even with such specific criteria because VRD has so many pattern that are fast and fun. I really had to make some hard decisions based on difficulty because I wanted to keep the patterns beginner-friendly.

I hope you enjoyed this list — some are oldies but goodies while others are fresh of the press, so to speak. Here’s hoping you maybe found a few new-to-you Rose Card patterns to add to your own growing collection of cards. Pick out a couple patterns and make plans to work on them over the summer. You might just be surprised at how much you can get done when you use one of these VRD Rose Card patterns.

Take care and just keep quilting….

Until next week —

Sew. Laugh. Repeat.

Always,

Tricia @VRD
