Grape Hyacinth pattern
Hi all - grape hyacinths are my granddaughter's & my "birthday flower"
- meaning they have decorated our birthday cakes since our (respective!) first birthdays. I'd like to do a stitched bouquet for her birthday this year - anyone know of a pattern of or containing them? I keep trying purple-blue french knots and green stalks - but somehow they don't look quite the thing! TIA! --SCP |

--SCP in PA Well, I could if I was at home. I am still in Lizard Land with DD, DSonIL & the SMDGD. **IF** I remember once I am back home (BIG **IF** -- all 2 days I will be there) I will try to dig out some info on SRE patterns for you. CiaoMeow ^;;^ PAX, Tia Mary (who is wondering if there is *any* way to have footers added automatically when posting through Google?) |

You could get the general idea of how to make them from such a book and then put together your own design, if you felt comfortable doing that. Even if you don't normally feel comfortable doing that, SRE is so forgiving that it's not as intimidating to work with. Or perhaps you could take another pattern you like (say, something with a nice border or whatever) and add in the SRE. Best wishes, Ericka |

Found one! Spent some time in Michaels browsing through pattern books
(don't you just love buying an entire book for one pattern! ;o) American school of Needlework: Encyclopedia of Embroidered Flowers. Thanks, everyone! --Sali |
