Is this it??
This is a completed one but i brey if we contacted the seller she would tell us the name of he pattern...he leaves look similar

Fix link edit
Thanks, Maemae. . . I don't think this is it. The fabric this is on is long and narrow, kinda like she intended to make a bell pull.
HAPPY STITCHING!

That could almost work, but the placement of the roses is pretty spread out on that one. The one my friend's sister started, has them right next to one another.

So I have someone who is going to try something creative with some software to see if she can come up with something for this. I'm really excited and if this works, I promise to post pics of the project as it's coming along!

Keep the suggestions coming though! I'm having a rough time with this and really want to do this for my friend.

Thank you all so much for your help!
HAPPY STITCHING!

so excited. Got a pattern and can't wait to get going on this! I promise to post pics as I proceed with this (assuming I can figure out why the pic didn't show up in my o.p.).

Well, I did it! A wonderful member created a pattern for me from pictures I sent her of what my friend's sister had completed. I am now making another one straight from the pattern for my friend's other sister so they each have one. Just need to clean and press this one and go find a frame and mat for it so I can give it to her for Christmas! I'm so excited!

That is wonderful. And a lovely thing to do a second one.

Well done, it will mean so much to the sisters.

I am so glad to see that you were able to finish this. When I first read your post, I was fretting over it that I couldn't help in some way. It looks lovely. You are a good friend.
