The week the tea party is for Rose and she is turning 103 years old! Rose is an artist and used to draw pictures of children for cards. So I found a coloring page online with these two vintage cuties. I printed them out and paper pieced their outfits and colored the rest with Copic markers. I wish they could have been holding Roses for Rose, but hopefully Rose like Tulips too!

Oh my goodness Miss Kathleen this is beyond adorable. I cannot begin to image how long this magnificent paper-piecing took. Your colouring is as wonderful as ever. This is precious my friend. Straight into My Favs.

Absolutely adorable Kathleen! I love the vintage feel and your paper piecing is awesome! What excellent fussy cutting you did. Amazing coloring page and it does remind me also of Dick and Jane! So cute.

This is SO cute Kathleen and love the soft colors for her! That paper pieced jacket just made me smile. This had to take you quite a while to color it so beautifully too. She surely will smile when she receives this!
