Check out my dear blogging friends journey on the

I am so very delighted and proud of all of you.
Everyone single one of you got these dead on:
Mum in the UK used a striking color palette to make these gorgeous rose squares.
You can find her post here.
Everything thing is coming up roses for Sandy at Teacup Lane.

I love, love, love the red and green!
They keep rolling in and it is so exciting...
Here's a feminine square from Crafty Caffeine.
Here's Jacqueline's primo modification from the
366 granny's project 2012 blog.

Take a good look at Olga's roses from
"There Where is Soleil" blog.
She modified the pattern to make them more lush and I love it!
She has a knack for bringing on the sunshine!
Carole at Stardust Gems and Ribbon
has finished her magnificent cushion and plans to make more cushions.
Get a load of this amazing variation by Linda in the U.K.!
I think the picot edge is so delicate and pretty.

Even more roses from Anne in Kenya

Patta's at the
Hooks and Books Blog
Monique from Holland has finished her pillow in a 4 x4 square.
These colors are magnificent and I love the 5 coordinating buttons.
I learned a valuable thrifty lesson from Monique - the buttons do not have to be the same and it adds some interest to mix it up a bit.
Thank you Monique!
Sweet Petunia's Baby's Baby has finished her cushion
to match this amazing afghan.
Wow - what a pretty coordinating set!
Here's the back side of her cushion with all roses the same color.
The pillow can be turned over dependent on the mood; I like that!
I like the brown yarn used in joining and edging, it is a very nice contrast.
Holy cow!
Sweet Petunia Baby made, an entire luscious afghan out of
the rose granny squares, in less than one month.
Now that's dedication!
I am so proud of the Petunia mother-daughter duo; warms my heart to the max.
Carole at Stardust Gems and Ribbon
Aren't these amazing!
LOVE the colors!!!
More from Anne in Kenya
I love the light blue and red together.
Sweet Petunia Baby's Baby's contrasting single crochet join.
LOVE the contrast!
Sweet Petunia Baby is now up to
140 completed squares.
I love how the red catches your eye and flows through the blanket.
Good job SPB!

All the roses are red,
I wonder if the violets are blue?
See the rest of her roses at her blog Crochet Dyverse Blog here.
This beautiful cushion was made by
Monique from Holland.
She used the join as you go method and the back side is a giant granny square.
How fun to have international participation!

ReplyDeleteYours is certainly very stunning, Linda! It's pinned on pinterest. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what else you are going to make. How's the house cleaning? I finally had someone come in and help me clean so that I could get back to roses. I am thinking about a little dress with some of the roses on it for a granddaughter that will arrive next month...How about you?
Είναι πραγματικά υπέροχα!!!!!!Καλησπέρα
ReplyDeleteVery talented crocheters :)) your work is beautiful :)) I am still making flowers, very hard to stop .. Maybe a rug in the making .. Great pics :))
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the CAL I hope you have another in the very near future :))
How fun to see all of these, and aren't you glad it's not a contest? It would be impossible to pick a winner. They're all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou are right! They are all winners.
DeleteHi Asti ... you were my inspiration for my bobbles and zigzag. I can see that I am going to have to do these roses as well, maybe a pillow but for sure a lapghan! Love you site!
ReplyDeleteAwwww...that's great Glor! Oooowwwww, a lapghan, that's a good idea. Can't wait to see!
DeleteAll I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing. Gorgeous colors and creations. I can't imagine crocheting up 140 squares. Unbelievable! I am such a novice. One try at the rose and I couldn't get it quite right. But just look at what all these ladies have done. Fantastic! Have a wonderful weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy! I know 140 squares - and all so beautiful and well made. My first rose was not right either but now I can't stop making them.
Deletei just posted the photos of the pillow case.....thanks for the awesome experience
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for such an awesome pattern for the rose! I couldn't do it as part of the CAL but finished it now! Here is a pic of my finished cushion cover:) Second one is in progress!

Beautiful roses! I'm a beginner crocheter and have made other roses, but these look more true to a real rose. I love them! Is there any chance of still getting the pattern??!
