Gift for a Friend - Diamonds and Pearls

A couple of weeks ago I met an elderly woman at my Bible study. She chatted with me for a while and when she asked me whether I had any hobby, I was eager to show her my tatted doily. She could not stop admiring it. My husband, who was sitting next to me, then said, "you should give that to her". Of course, she said "no". Later I found out that her favorite color was green. I was on a mission to make a Cross bookmark for my friend "Jan". I decided to do the Diamonds and Pearls design. Unfortunately, my copy was a printed page from the web and did not have the designer name. It was such a joy to make this SCMR bookmark. If anyone remembers the designer, will you please note in the comments?

    I found mention of this pattern on Anita's blog http://anniesgranny.com/tatted-crosses/ she states it is a pattern by Julie Patterson, but doesn't give a location for the pattern. Then googled Julie and found info on Liyarra's blog stating that her book she is from Australia and apparently her book "Just Marking Time" is out of print, but may be found online if you hunt for it.
