I really hope you all like looking at photos of crocheted blankets because there is a LOT of them in this post! Here it is finished, the beautiful, gorgeous, totally delicious, Psychedelic Granny Square Blanket I started back in January! And I am completely in love with it! So much so that I dragged it …
The lovely ladies of the Cherish Circle of Do Good Stitches Charity Bee have made a splendid job with the Far Across The Sea blocks for my month as quilter. I provided a tutorial and more info on this block in this post. It was lovely to receive little parcels of patchwork loveliness from all …
Remember I showed you the centre of Jo’s quilt for our Around the Bend and Across the Pond Round Robin a few weeks back? Well I’ve finished the first round. After all the time I spent with solids working on my FLQS top, I just didn’t want to stop, and as Jo had asked for …
