A neat and orderly explosion of color

Rosettes waiting for buttons
I love the pop of color our Rosettes give. You can take any plain old shirt or coat, and really make a statement with a bright contrasting colored Rosette! They are the perfect little gift.

A big bag of silks
They start out as plain, ordinary silk clothing. Some of them cute, some of them not so cute. I always have to remind myself that I'm not purchasing the garment, but the material. Once I bring home the garments, I'll wash and dry the material, just to give it a little extra texture!

​Then I cut everything into strips and hand stitch each layer. It always looks like such a daunting project when I look into a bag filled with strips of silk. But little by little, over time, mostly while sitting in front of the TV. the layers get done.

PictureThis is the fun part!
​Then the fun part starts! Typically when I make Rosettes, I make large batches at a time, like 300 or so! The last time I made Rosettes, my nieces came by for the weekend. We had so much fun sorting and placing colors together. 

They were so careful to match colors. Me...well...not so careful. I just grabbed whatever layers that were there and placed them together. But I always love how they turn out!

Margaret Garcia and Julian Couoh
But look at the impact a Rosette makes!

​This is Margaret and Julian. In 2015 Margaret co-produced Listen to your Mother, Plumas County. This photo is from the opening night. Each performer received a Josefina Fine Knits Rosette as a thank you for being so brave and telling their story, outloud, in front of the world. You can learn more about Listen to your Mother, Plumas County here:

As a belt buckle
They were originally created as a shawl pin, but you can wear them is so many different ways!

We'll be at High Hill Ranch this coming weekend, November 12-13th. I'll have a whole variety of Rosettes available for you to see! Stop by, I'd love to see you!
