Interests

I love sewing, movies, music, reading, and, of course, my cats! I usually have the radio or CD player on while I sew. I hand quilt my throw pillow covers, clip my rag quilts, and work on my fabric hair scrunchies while watching a movie or a NASCAR race.

Get to Know

My name is Rosemary Gosselin. I was born in Los Angeles, grew up in Chicago, and currently live in Norfolk, Virginia. I have a day job as a divorce paralegal, so almost all of my sewing time comes on the weekends. My late mother taught me to crochet, embroider, and sew when I was pretty young. I never quite got the knack of crochet, but I have been sewing and embroidering ever since. I made some of my clothes during high school and, after my son was born, I made a lot of his baby and toddler clothes as well. I exhibited in local craft shows many years ago when I made baby doll and Barbie clothes. I learned to quilt when there wasn't anymore wall space for counted cross stitch. I began making pillowcases several years ago when a friend's grandson was undergoing chemotherapy. I figured if he had to rest a lot, he should have some fun things to rest with. I have made dozens of pillowcases, throw pillow covers, rag quilts, fabric hair scrunchies, and fabric gift baskets as gifts for friends and family and, of course, have made many for myself. I'm told that my pillowcases stand up very well to normal wear and tear (and some abnormal wear and tear inflicted by toddlers and preschoolers), as well as washing and drying. Because I use mostly cotton fabrics in my pillowcases, they may appear wrinkled when they come out of the dryer. When mine do, I iron them a bit. However, I'm told by others that they have no problems with wrinkling. I had been an eBay seller for several years, and had been the recipient of eBay's Power Seller and Top-Rated Seller awards. I closed my eBay store because I could no longer afford eBay's high fees. I have included a link below so that you may view my 100% positive eBay seller feedback rating. I love bright, vivid colors and I love to decorate for the holidays. Maybe you do, too. I offer standard size pillowcases, travel size pillowcases, hand-quilted and machine-quilted envelope-back throw pillow covers, rag quilts, fabric hair scrunchies, and fabric gift baskets in a wide variety of prints (including many holiday prints) that will appeal to adults and children alike. In addition to pillowcases sold individually, I also ofter some standard size pillowcases in pairs and in sets of two. You may find some throw pillow covers in my store that match some pillowcases. Perhaps, like me, you love a mountain of pillows on the bed or on the couch! The envelope-style back on my throw pillow covers will allow for easy removal for cleaning (machine wash and dry) or for switching from one holiday theme to another. My throw pillow covers are made to fit a 14x14 inch pillowform which can be purchased in many stores in your area. My rag quilts measure 40"x50". Each holiday collection I offer usually includes at least one rag quilt. There will always be some non-holiday rag quilts available, as well. If you don't see what you're looking for, please contact me. Each rag quilt ships with a sturdy plastic bag for storage as well as an information sheet on the rag quilt's design, construction, and care. I have recently added fabric hair scrunchies (pony tail holders) and fabric gift baskets to my studio, and there will be scrunchies and gift baskets made from holiday and seasonal prints included in some holiday and seasonal collections. There will be free shipping on each and every fabric hair scrunchie by first class mail. If anyone wants their hair scrunchie purchase shipped faster, then Priority Mail charges will apply. My fabric gift baskets are feminine, adorable, versatile, and machine washable. The first fabric gift basket purchased will ship by USPS Priority Mail for $5.00. All other fabric gift baskets purchased at the same time and paid for in the same PayPal payment will ship at no additional cost! My pillowcases, envelope-back throw pillow covers, rag quilts, fabric hair scrunchies, and new fabric gift baskets will make special and thoughtful birthday and holiday gifts (and unique annual holiday decorations) especially when you find a print that would be perfect for a particular someone in your life. All of the items that I have listed for sale are already made and ready to ship. I am happy to take special orders but, if your special order pillowcase, throw pillow cover, rag quilt, fabric hair scrunchie, or fabric gift basket is meant to be a gift, please allow adequate time for washing, ironing, cutting, sewing, and shipping. My home is smoke-free, but it is not pet-free. I am the owner, mother, and servant to two beautiful female cats, Abby and Daisy. Please keep this in mind if anyone in your home or in the home of your gift recipient has cat allergies. Thanks for visiting my store. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Sweet dreams!
