Lovely pattern and works up quickly. Excellent pattern!! Thank you.

The Calla Lily design is much more intricate and creative. The pattern makes up beautifully and there is room to improvise as well.

The other flowers are nice, but these are unique. I can't wait to try making some. I've seen them for weddings, and think they would be wonderful for Christmas!

I was excited when I saw this pattern! My mom and sister carried Callalily bouquets at their weddings. My mom in 1947 and my sister in 2010. It's also the symbol of resurrection. I'm making this for my sister and myself to wear for Easter. Thanks so much!

I had a Calla lilly bouquet for my Easter Saturday wedding in 2014, so I will delight in making then wearing this design as a corsage on our 1st anniversary also putting it onto a card for my husband who really appreciates personal items such as this. Many thanks for the chance of making another keepsake.

This is a very pretty pattern, it looks like it will be fun to make.

THis pattern looks very simple yet elegant. I showed it to my son & his fiance & they are thinking of using it for boutineers for their wedding.

I will probably use the flowers in the rose pin more, but I like the lily better. It's more original, more delicate, and very graceful in form and flow.

this pattern is more original. plus I like lilies better than roses.

I vote for the Lily, because it's beautiful, and looks more like a Lily.

I like the Calla Lily best. The other is just as cute as a bugs ear but the lily is delicate.

I love it because it reminds me of spring and Easter.

We've corrected the pistil instructions. There are 6 rows--what was listed as row 7 should have actually been row 6. It's corrected now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

can someone explain about row 6, or show the pattern for the base by itself, without the flowers, so we can follow it by looking at it? thanks.dedik

Note from Aunt Bone would have been helpful if someone had answered her question. Is row 6 missing or is row 7 actually row 6????

Please show video. How it to do?

I haven't had a chance to try this yet... but, I noticed that in the instructions for the pistil, row 6 is not printed. Is there, in fact, a row missing. Or, should row 7 be row 6?

just lovely!
