Hello,
I enjoy your site very much. I like to make my own patterns too. And since you are in PI, I am looking for the sampaguita pattern that is used to make cafe curtains that is seen hanging in some windows in Bulacan where my grandfather lived. I can see it in my mind but if you can post a picture, I would very much appreciate it. I do not have a website sorry.
