wyldflowers!
	These little flowers are easily made with small amounts of crochet thread. They can be made in groups of 3 or 5, and then assembled in swags, motifs, or used as seam treatements. They can also be made individually, and then added to crazy quilt projects. Making a garland is great for framing printed images or family photos. Beads and pearls can be added to the centers of the flowers, and as well, silk ribbon leaves can be added.
	THE PATTERN: Ch 4. *In 4th chain from hook, make 2 dc, ch 3 and sl st in same chain. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3 and sl st in same chain.* Repeat from * to * two more times, to make 4 petals total. Ch 13. Repeat from * to * two times to make 4 petals, and then Ch 13. Continue in this manner for desired number of wyldflowers.   (For questions about the pattern, please email me at: wyldwmn@qwest.net.)
