I'm sure everyone will know of Barbara,
whose brilliant blog is Made-in-k-town.
I have long been a follower of 'k-town'
and am always amazed by Barbara's work
... neat and colourful, but never gaudy.
In her blog, Barbara has given us patterns
and tutorials for (amongst others)....

| The Spiral Coaster / Potholder |
Barbara was also the instigator of the
'Beyond The Square' challenge, which
was to make 100 (Barbara's personal
challenge) of the squares from the book,
'Beyond the Square' by Edie Eckman.
I sadly failed dismally in my challenge,
(but still plan to continue). If you want
to see the beautiful entries in the gallery
on Barbara's blog, take a peek here.
Barbara is currently doing a project called,
'Meet in k-town' in which she interviews
blog writers that she follows.
If you want to read the 3 she has
interviewed so far, hop over here.
So many lovely things to see and read
over at Made-in-K-town...and now
Barbara has sent us 3 amazing squares
for the Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2013!

| Barbara's squares 1 |
All three are crocheted using a pattern
which Barbara has adapted from the
African Flower pattern - she will
post the pattern on her blog for us soon.
Does anyone know who wrote the
original African Flower pattern?
