  3. Great job, your rose is beautiful. I'm with you on the dimple thing. They add a very subtle and effective texture. I shall have to check the dimple prints out.

  6. This is seriously my favorite project that you've done. The balance of the colors is perfect. The fabric is perfect. You can easily see the inspiration. Well done, Susie! In all honesty, I can't stop staring at the pictures. I'm excited to see the finished wall hanging.
