JULY 2021 THEME - AROUND THE WORLD
WELCOME TO
AROUND THE WORLD
What a wondrous world we live in. Full of intriguing and interesting landscapes, both natural and manmade. From the mountains to the seas, from the newest cities to the oldest civilizations.This month we will take a trip around the world, discovering new and/or interesting sights....from the smallest flower to the largest structures. We can explore the many things that make our countries unique.
Our special events this month include Mandela Day, when we honour the late, great, Nelson Mandela.......
and the gathering of the world at the Olympic Games.
Our Colour of the Month (CoM) is BLUE. I had many colours in my stash that were a questionable blue, but on googling 'blue' I discovered a site listing 144!! I'm all good. :)) Here is a little sample from the site. I'm sure we all must have a little in our stash.
Please remember the importance of our Plain Jane squares in the blankets that are created. Perhaps make some in blue or a colour/s inspired by something in your landscape or somewhere you have visited. Have fun...and please share with us.

Hiya Bev, super intro! Can I get the ball rolling with this set of 10 double strand hats, all different colours but based around the use of some navy BLUE wool.

Bev, this is going to be fun! Your introduction has lots of great ideas for contributions this month. And all those shades of BLUE! WOW!
Karen, your collection of hats is fantastic! Every single one is a treasure. I just don't know how to pick a favorite. Great work.

Wow, Bev, what a super intro! I sincerely hope I will find time this month to create something ... in blue, perhaps!!
I know it's how rough it's gonna be for you, but hang in there, girl. I made it through PINK so I know you'll make it through BLUE. Just focus on all the loving stitches and incredible creativity that will be appearing here and your mind probably won't even notice all that "other colour" ... haha ... xo.

Lots of countries have Red, White & Blue in their flags so this blanket can represent all of them.

Fabulous blanket, with a very smart border.
You are right that so many flags are red, white and blue.
This blanket is a winner.
