MYSTERY BLANKET CLUB: MAY, BLANKET UPDATE & COMPETITION WINNER

violetgreen — Tue, 01 May 2012 07:56:03 +0000

So in May & June we complete the whole inner section of the blanket (except for the centre square which will be the last one we do). Exciting!

We are working hard here at finishing the whole blanket, to make sure all the designs & colours work together, and it is looking really fab. We hope you will love it too!

We also had a winner for our May bag competition, the answer to the riddle was sunflower, and here is the bag based around the May sunflower motif:

APRIL BLANKET CLUB UPDATE

violetgreen — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:51:17 +0000

With the April blanket club shipment, we are able to sew 12 more squares into our blanket, connecting them also to the squares we joined together last month: 18 squares in total.
I have posted a picture here of where we will get to this month, in case it helps to have this photgraph as well as the blanket map when you are working out where to put the squares. Of course, please do contact me if you have any trouble with this.

It’s really starting to come together now! Do add your pictures to the forum if you would like to; email them to me to add if you don’t have anywhere to host the pictures, and I will add them for you.
