I am very pleased to be showing you the squares that have come in for our 200th blanket. I can't believe that we have now made 199 already. I asked the 'SIBOLETTES' on RAVELRY if they had any ideas of what we could do to celebrate our 200th blanket and craftymizz suggested that we make a blanket using my Grandmother as inspiration.
Today I received a square from jenn1feranne in Scotland. My Grandmother was an Aston Villa fan and there were often heated discussions about the matches with my Father. When I was asked to write about my Grandmother's favourite things and what she liked doing I mentioned the Football.
Today I have received a really pretty square. The Granny square background is in the colours of Aston Villa as you can see and in the centre a red rose one of my Grandmother's favourite flowers.
It really is a wonderful square thank you jenn1feranne. I can't wait to see the squares that we are collecting. There are still places if you want to help make a special 200th blanket please pop over to RAVELRY.
Thank you.
jenn1feranne also helped me out with a Jan Eaton square I needed. This one has turned out lovely too.
I am only waiting for one more and then I can get the blanket made up. This square is called 'Raspberries & Cream' and it's No. 77 in the Jan Eaton book. '200 Crochet Blocks for blankets, throws and afghans'.
Both brilliant squares, thank you jenn1feranne!
The photo at the top of the blog is of our 'Wiggles' Challenge blanket. I do hope you like it

I love the wiggles blanket, and your wiggly edging finishes it perfectly, Sue. Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI love that wiggly blanket!
ReplyDeleteAnd do you remember when I made the mistake that you had made 200 blankets? And then, I said oh well, it won't be long until that number comes around...it didn't take long!!!
:-)
Hope you are doing well!
Love,

Cute square :0)
ReplyDeleteHi, i read your
