Squares arrive from Canada and the Netherlands today!

Hello Everyone!

Thank you all for your comments on SIBOL No. 25!  If you haven't seen the latest SIBOL please go back a post.  I need a name, any ideas? The last Flower Blanket was called 'Kensington Gardens' - named by The Garden Bell. Thank you Kate.

I hope you have all had a good weekend.  Back to Squares today.  I am very happy to say Glorias' Squares arrived today all the way from Canada.  Gloria has made the prettiest Squares for our Challenges. I really love them and I'm sure you will too!  Squares for our 'Blue and White' Challenge which are really lovely, and also some for the Men's Challenge.  Some of Glorias' Squares have an Autumny feeling to them I think. I just love the colours she has used in the Brown ones. The Flower Squares are pretty too.  Even though our Flower Challenge has ended don't worry the Squares will be used.   Thank You so much Gloria. 

I want you to take a look too at the gorgeous Post Card she very kindly sent me. Such a pretty picture and then Gloria has decorated the picture with tiny little stitches, buttons, bows and thread. Simply gorgeous. Gloria has put her photos on to Flickr if you want to take a look. I'm sure she won't mind you popping across. Thanks so much Gloria.

Gloria, I have made you a Slide Show, sit back and enjoy!





Thank You!

Also today in the same delivery I had some Squares arrive from the Netherlands.  I have told you before
we have Squares come in from all corners of the World! Today is no exception.  Dear Anja from the Netherlands has very kindly sent me these Squares. The colours are wonderful, the pattern too is very interesting!

I bet you want to know what pattern Anja used?......>

I think it's really lovely.  I have asked Anja if she wants to tell us where she got the pattern from and whether she'd be interested in posting a Square on to SIBOL - The Archive for us so that other's can have  go.  This is our other SIBOL Blog! Anja has a lovely Blog I do hope you will check it out yourselves.

I'm very pleased to make a Slide Show for you Anja. Thank You so much for the beautiful Squares! I love them.






Thank You both for sending me the Squares today, it's been a pleasure to make the Slide Shows for you and I can't wait to put your Squares into SIBOL Blankets!

    The new blue and white blanket makes me think of Wedgwood plates...perhaps "Wedgwood Willow"?

    oh i love the new blanket, totally agree with Lauren, I too thought of wedgewood as soon as i saw it. So pretty. Sue, again, you have done an awesome job of showcasing these beautiful squares. Just lovely.
    Anja, I love your squares too, they are just so delicate and lacy. They are going to look beautiful in a blanket.
    Gloria, your squares are stunning too. I so love the pumpkiny coloured ones for Autumn. They are instantly 'warming'. You have such a wonderful eye for colour combos, I love them.
    Wow, such beautiful squares coming through.

    Anja,
    I checked the pattern out on karins blog.
    I didn't realise it was the Circle of Friends one. The pattern looks so different in the colours you have used. Wonderful. I'm pleased we have it on SIBOL - The Archive!
