Vintage Rose Afghan / 'SIBOL' Squares - Updated Slide show.

Hi Everyone!

Such a beautiful day here today in the UK. How's it with you?

I was so busy yesterday I had three lots of Squares come in. It took me all day virtually to photo them and put them onto Flickr and then onto 'SIBOL'. I would like to share with you now the latest Squares that came from West Palm Beach, Florida and Australia.

First of all Helen very kindly sent me some squares. I was saying on 'SIBOL' how terribly worried I was about these Squares. They have taken such a long time arriving. I am always so pleased when they finally hit my door.



Then Marg who also lives in Australia very kindly sent me some blue and white ones. These are most appropriate because you are probably aware that we are starting to collect for the blue and white theme.



Aren't both sets just lovely? I really love them both. Thank you so....much.

Those two lots of Squares came in the second post at lunchtime. But earlier on at 8.15 in the morning I found a large parcel in my Porch. Do you want to see what was inside?



Yes that's right! All those little beauties! 44 in all. Who sent them to me? Linda very kindly sent them to me from West Palm Beach, Florida. Hasn't she been working hard for 'SIBOL'? You're very generous Linda taking the time and trouble to make all these Squares for us. I can't thank you enough.




The 'sun' theme Challenge finishes 21st April, so please get your Squares in before then.  Then we are going to do a 'Flower' theme Blanket for the Nursing homes.  So if you want to have a look in your Books or on the net for Flowers please do so.  Luna over on 'SIBOL' actually put up a great Flower Square a few posts back. So you might want to check that out.  We haven't set a closing date for the 'Flower' theme one yet. But there's nothing stopping you from having a go if you want to. I hope you will. But if anyone wants to make 'blue and white' ones please feel free because we will be doing that one AFTER the 'Flower' Blanket.

UP-DATE!

At Lunchtime today (Thursday) I had two more lots of Squares come in.  Brenda over on Flickr very kindly sent me these Squares.

Two Flowery Squares and a lovely Granny Square. Aren't they Lovely? Thanks very much Brenda.



I also received three Squares from Deb over at Hooks and Yarns in the States. She has a very pretty blog over there I hope you will check her out!
Thank you Deb.

Thank you both very much for the Squares. Here's the Slide Show. Enjoy!

Just before I pop over to 'SIBOL' Could I share this picture with you. Valerie very kindly sent it to me on email and it's just such a wonderful picture from an old Vintage Crocheting Book.


I was wondering whether any of my 'Followers' had old Crocheting Books. We just love looking at these pictures on Flickr and 'SIBOL'. If you have anything that you might like to share please send it to sueatpigsty@talktalk.net.  It might give us some ideas.

Have a good day everyone! Thanks for popping in......
