Alta M. Flamingo

Copyright May 31 2005 Alisha Simmons

This is my free pattern Do not claim this pattern as your own or sell it. Do not sell the finished product.

I made this pattern in Memory of my Dear Mom who lost her battle with breast cancer in 1997. She was a truly beautiful woman with a warm heart & a heart of gold. I miss her everyday. I think she would’ve liked the flamingo it’s kinda silly & makes me smile just like she did.
