Wanted: 3 different  african violet embroidery patterns

Hi uzzz-ga,

I have been doing some research and have located websites where you
can get patterns/pattern books to buy.

They are:

http://srd.yahoo.com/S=2766679:WS1/R=1/K=african+violet+embroidery+patterns/H=0/T=1045644370/F=d50e5b5f78926697de0c0ab571fad413/*http://www.jdr-be.com/RWpg2.htm
http://www.petalplay.com/cgibin/webc.cgi/Workshops.html
http://www.ggcreations.com.au/althea/books/eapp/petal.html
http://www.jdr-be.com/RWpg2.htm

As a needlework person myself, I became creative in getting patterns. 
Sometimes the patterns that I wanted were not available or if it was,
it was pretty expensive.  So  what I did was to take printings from
any source that can be located whether it be  from cards, magazines,
etc. and I took a printout and went to  a copy machine and blew it up
to the size that I wanted.

So here is a few websites where I located different African Violet
plants.  You could take a print out and copy it to the size that you
want or you can highlight areas of the print out that you want and use
Liquid Paper to white out the sections that you don't want and copy it
to make it look like what you want. You can be creative.

Thank you for the ideas and the links.

Hi uzzz,

I'm sure jeanwil won't mind if I add what I have found to her
substantial list. I had worked on your original question, "Embroidery

finally received an answer to an enquiry that I had emailed to:
