Flowers anyone?

I found this while looking on the internet and thought I would re-post it in case anyone was interested.  I love the Rick-Rack rose but looks a bit difficult for me.  I think the loopy one would be easier for me to make.  If you make one I would love to see it.  My email address is now on here, so send me a picture.  If you click on the blue title it should take you to the tutorial on how to make (hopefully).
