Diana's Doily and a Contest

Recently, Diana Dwyer sent me these pictures of the Ruby's Valentine Doily that she had made. I loved her use of colors in the doily! She explained how she came to use this particular combination:

Diana says:
 I couldn’t wait to try this pattern, so I went into my "stash" of thread. I thought I’d have enough of the candy pink to do it, but after the flower, I knew better. So I went back to my  stash and found I had little bit left of 2 other pink shades. I didn't want it to look like I ran out of thread so this is what I came up with. 

You did a beautiful job, Diana!


But, it is Friday, so how about a contest? I will give one person their choice of any PDF pattern in my Etsy shop,  bellacrochetEtsy. The pattern will be  in PDF form and will be sent as an attachment to an email. I do not have printed copies of my patterns available; no printed patterns can be mailed. 
I will select the winner at random, and send out the patterns in the morning (Saturday.) I will post the name of the winner here, so be sure to check back in the morning to see if you won. If I do not hear back from the winner within 7 days, I will select a new winner. Failure to contact me within 7 days  will result in the forfeiture of all prizes. 
Also, if you post anonymously, please be sure I have a way to identify you (at least give your first name or a nick name in your comment; I have no way of knowing who is posting.) You can also leave your email address with your comment so I can notify you if you win, but this is optional. 
To enter, just leave a comment here on the blog answering this question:
Do you usually use the colors called for in a pattern, or do you like to change things up and select your own color scheme? 
This contest is now closed, please stop by again soon!
