The Story of Posy Lindas' Squares

Hello Everyone!

I do hope you will go back to the previous post and have a look at Mummy Cat's Squares and also the Square for the Jan Eaton Blanket which came in on Saturday from Rona in the Netherlands.

Today over on Flickr I posted SIBOL 57.

Back in April 2010 (I know its' a while ago) I received  beautiful Squares from Posy Linda in Florida in America, her Squares were absolutely gorgeous.  On the 25th April I finished her Blanket.  I asked her for a name and because I had made a Butterfly for the Blanket she asked me if she could call it 'Butterfly'.   Salma over on Flickr loved the Butterfly so....much she suggested I always make Butterflies as a sort of 'SIBOL' trade mark. To this day, I have made Butterflies for every Blanket since.

This is the 'Butterfly' Blanket I made first of all.

I made Butterflies and lay them amongst the Squares on the Blanket.

I loved the Blanket and it's now in one of the Homes.

Well the rest of the Squares have been patiently waiting for me to make them up. Today I'm showing you the rest of the Squares which I have made up in to SIBOL No. 57 with some additional Squares from bonsall, Ruth, Sabiha.  I'm really pleased with the Blanket.  So I've made a special Slide Show now for Posy Linda and of course anyone visiting SIBOL.  It's the Story of her Squares.

SIBOL 57. 'Name please?'

Just to say really if you don't see your Squares straight away there is a very good reason for it.  They are waiting for others to join them in their special 'colour pile'. 

Sit back now and Enjoy!

ROYAL WEDDING CHALLENGE.

With regard to the Royal Wedding Challenge. I'm wondering whether anyone would like to make extra Squares for the Royal Wedding Challenge. They are rather thin on the ground and I really need some more. So if you have already contributed for this Challenge and you'd like to do a few more 'please do!!'.  This Challenge is 'really important to me and I know you!'.  I really want it to be a success. If you haven't made a Square yet 'why not have a go!'.  Thank you.

  1. This one is great.
    By the way, I will try to start soon.
    Right now I'm just looking at and getting a feel. Needed to give my arm and brain a little rest. Last week, I went a smidge overboard I would say....he-he...

    How's about if I take "PURPLE RAIN".
