Beautiful pattern with terrific tutorial
Loved this pattern! It was easy to do and fun to watch it come together. I also loved the shell border. Didn't know how to do the treble crochet but Christa's tutorial made it so easy. Thanks much!
I love it! It’s just what i wanted.
Once you get to the repeat it so easy and fun. But that how all patterns are get started and then it goes fast.
Love the “built in” bottom boarder. I was thinking wonder if I could do that with other patterns
