I'm sure many of you have heard of Mrs. Twins and SIBOL. I recently started following her blog and have been touched by the outpouring of support she has received from around the world for her blankets. The stories of her delivering the blankets and the grateful recipients has been very touching.
I decided to donate my "Flowers on the Green" squares for her Spring Challenge. And, although she may not use them all in that particular blanket, I'm sure the other squares can be separated and used here or there in different blankets throughout the year.
Along with the flowers, when you think of spring, you think sun! So I used the Sunrise/Sunset motif and made a bright yellow sun shinning brightly in a blue sky, and a sun peeking out from the clouds after a spring shower. :-)
If you haven't made any squares, perhaps you'll think about doing it. It's a simple way to reach out to others, a way to touch the elderly, and a way show them they have not been forgotten.
Blessings to you Mrs. Twins...and all those, who have taken a small portion of time to make a square or squares, that will make someone smile and brighten a day.
My squares will be mailed out by the end of the week.

Your squares are really beautiful Heather!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful crochet project to be involved in :)
Beautiful Heather! She's been added to my donate list too. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, and cheerful....they will be a lovely addition to any blanket....
ReplyDeleteI have some hexy's, but they might be larger than 6x6....but they would also make a lovely
addition.
Your squares are so gorgeous all together like that. I like the other two also. I've had the pattern for those two squares for at least a year hoping to make some some day.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty squares... gonna make someone a beautiful afghan :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I wasn't familiar with this collection so thanks for sharing. I can often make a few squares between other activities and this would be a great use for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. :-)
