Hi Arlene thanks for the compliment about my SRE patterns. If I get enough requests I will turn them into a pattern for sale.
I am very interested in the floral patterns you had used in your SRE class (and sorry you won't be offering it again). I have quite a number of books on the subject, but nothing like your patterns, which are simple, yet look lovely.
