Thank you for the lovely pattern and tutorial, Sue. Though I can't for the life of me think what qc means which comes just before (ttc).
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra..it should read dtr, late for me as I'm up at 4ish most mornings and i had been writing another pattern at the same time with very long stitches 'qc' US Terms is 5 yo not 3 as in this pattern...thanks for pointing it out x
DeleteThanks for rectifying, Sue! I'd never see 'qc' before. It looked interesting!
DeleteHi Sandra..qc 5 yo's 6 pull throughs...a very long stitch indeed lol x
Deletethank you for this!!! It is so pretty and spring-like!! Ready for flowers after the long winter. I admire your work. Lovely. Will try this one for sure.
ReplyDeleteHi Dee, you're very welcome thank you, let me have a picture when you complete it and i will add it to a fns post x
DeleteThank you so much for the pattern and for the heads-up re Dunelm. Paid a visit to the one in Oxford and was entranced - came away with a number of things I couldn't resist. Have made some Easter napkin rings in Stylecraft Classique cotton so think I will now add a nice flowery centrepiece mat using your lovely pattern and the same colours as the rings. Thank you again - you are always so inspirational. E xx
ReplyDeleteHi E, you're welcome, cant wait to see your Easter table. On for the next fans post? Glad you have enjoyed the store, I know i cant go in without buying something, always something new to see. Thank you xx
DeleteReally love making these flowers - finding it difficult to join them as you go neatly though. And mine won't lie as nice and flat as yours. Have found a lateral solution to the latter but any tips for the joining as you go bit? Wishing you a lovely time in Edinburgh. E xx
DeleteHi E, They do curl a little but a light steam press should deal with that...hope that helps.
DeleteOr you could join as you go in more than one stitch? Had a fab time thanks everything was great company festival weather, accomodation and the Facebook friends were wonderful we never stopped talking lol thanks
