WOW Diane! It's gorgeous! Welcome to the world of designing! You fit in perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWell done, lass. I'm thinking of retiring now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Very well done, Diane! I like how you're doing the green around the purple. It looks like a lovely purple bouquet of flowers surrounded by green leaves. :)
ReplyDeleteDiane, Great Job on the design. Looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design Diane and I love the colour combination.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! This has been a lot of fun, but a little taxing on the brain.
ReplyDeleteSherry, I'll never be as prolific as you, but I do think I've caught the design bug!
Jane, don't you dare even think of retiring! I have too much to learn from you yet!
TattingChic, I'm glad you think it looks like a bouquet surrounded by leaves... that was what I was trying to achieve!
Carol, thank you so much! Fantastic works for me!
Clyde, I am honored to receive such kind words from the king of doily tatters!
This is so very pretty! One more thing to do now -- I have to try this. Are you going to do a third and fourth or more rounds?
