  3. Beautiful! 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. :)

  6. Thanks everyone! This has been a lot of fun, but a little taxing on the brain.

    Sherry, 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!

  7. 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?
