September 8th 2022 is International Literacy Day (ILD). This is different to World Book Day which was held in March. But the book square will work perfectly to celebrate both days. It would look fabulous as a wall hanging in a library or reading corner! …
Want to crochet your own carrots corner to corner square? Growing Carrots was something that my Grandad used to do (although I remember the leeks much more than the carrots). He would grow them in his allotment and then enter local shows. As children I …
The sunflower appliqué was always going to be the centrepiece for this sunflower granny square design. I knew this before I had even crocheted a stitch. The challenge for me was always going to be the actual sunflower design. It just had to look perfect …
