We're off! Patricia gets her squares in first!

I was pleased as punch when I noticed the little
 Airmail sticker on a brown envelope... the first
 squares for the Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2013
 have arrived! 


Shall we take a sneaky peak inside?



Four squares for four entries from Trish and
 a lovely little card giving me all the details.  

Here they are....

Pattern no. 35, 'Tricolour Square - P51.

Gorgeous colours Trish! 

Pattern no. 71, 'StarFlower'.  P69

The yarn Trish used is Patons Sincere.  

Pattern no. 166/167/168. P.100


Pattern no.15, 'Corner Square'. P.41
 The patterns are all from '200 Crochet Blocks' by Jan Eaton. 

Trish writes a blog called, 'Tales From Trish' 
and comes from Maryland in the United States! 

She blogs about her running, the books she 
loves and crochet...amongst many other things.

Having missed the Beautiful Blogger Blanket
 of 2012 Trish was really disappointed... 
so it is lovely to see her squares
 get here first this year! 

Thanks so much for joining in Trish!  

Four squares = four chances to win the whole 
Beautiful Blogger Blanket of 2013! 

Last year I put photos of all the squares in a folder
 on the bloggy side-bar here.  I shall do the same
 this year, but also add the pattern details
 as I go along so that the folder can be used
 as a resource for choosing patterns....so keep
 an eye out for that.

I hope you won't mind if I add a little note here: 
If anyone likes scarf yarns I am selling some 
excess stock on Ebay this week... greatly 
discounted prices here!
