I created a sampler square baby afghan a couple of years ago that sold quite well at my Etsy shop. I named it "hearts in bloom" because it was made up of several flower and heart patterns among others. It was a little nod to my Dad too who was dealing with congestive heart failure. He passed away this past September, and it's been a tough year without him. Whenever I think of this blanket, I think of my Dad, and I'm thankful for the time we had together.
The reason I bring up this afghan is because I was asked to do a custom order using purples. I've only done it in pink and white, and I'm looking forward to the change! I also have some new flower squares that I'm looking forward to incorporating. This will be a larger size than usual. I'll let you know how it goes...
Have a wonderful week!
This is so beautiful! You should make a pattern to sell. I would absolutely buy it.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, Thanks for your nice note. This sampler has changed over the years - I get tired of some squares, fall out of love with others or find something new to incorporate, so I don't even follow a totally written out pattern myself. Maybe I will do a crochet-along in the near future and put the squares up as I go? I'll keep you posted!

Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteDo you sell the pattern for the purple and pink flowers in bloom yet? My 2 daughters are having their first bubs and I'd love to crochet them one each of your beautiful designs. You are a very creative artist indeed! Love your work.
