On Workbasket pattern page 79, they have the tulips for the luncheon cloth divided into two separate pattern pieces. As neither pattern would fit on a standard printer page, Dave divided the patterns into sections. This is section 1c of those patterns. This pattern is available as a pdf here.
As I mentioned last week, in the hopes of hurrying spring along I’m posting the Workbasket pattern for a Tulip Luncheon Cloth. Today I’m sharing Section 1b of that pattern. This pattern is available as a pdf here.
