Tested Katchkan's Briar Rose

[Tampa Doll]

I was lucky enough to test the Briar Rose pincushion pattern for Katchkan. This is one very easy pattern to follow and it is really cute when done. One thing I liked about it was being able to change the color of the rose to match anything which enhances the pattern.

 

I made one in the colors Katchkan used. The yellow flower with the light green leaves, then my DH said he wanted one for his computer room that was a red rose with dark green leaves. He calls it his Christmas rose.

 

This pattern only took a couple of hours, so it would be great for a bazaar or a favor for a party or shower.

Thank you Mary Jo for testing this for me. Love seeing it in all the different color schemes. Tell John I love his Christmas rose. You did a superb job on these. Thanks again.

Those are really nice! Kathy's design is really pretty and your rendition of it with the different colors is very striking. Great job!

Oh Mary Jo! Those are fabulous! Being partial to green and yellow, I have to admit that THAT is my favorite. But then again, I love the red...oh I can't be partial I love them both! Great job! Kathy really does wonderful work designing patterns.
