Hi Jean!
I think that the decision to make the last piece a challenge was an
excellent one!! It's my understanding that "way back when...", good
lacemakers didn't use a diagram, but used their skills to interpret the
pricking. So those who know what they're doing in Floral Bucks can make
a stunning piece, while the rest of us can sit back and admire their work!
I have a feeling that some will tackle this with complete confidence and
then realize with dismay that they haven't a clue how to address the
challenges... this is not geometric Bucks, after all. But that should
just inspire them to find new resources and expand their skills!!
So this collection has renewed my interest in Floral Bucks, and I thank
you for that!

I've been away for a few days so I'm only just catching up on lace digests. To
answer Sue's comment - the reason there is no picture of the poppies edging is
that no one has worked it yet.
When I started to put the book together there was lace worked by Joyce for
patterns 1-8 and 12-15 only. I worked the lace shown for patterns 9-11 and Joan
Barker worked the lace for pattern 16. We both wondered about working the
poppies but decided to leave it as a challenge. We're looking forward to seeing
the results.
