OCTOBER 2018 THEME - THE SEASONS
I am delighted to host another KAS monthly and there is something for everyone in this month's topic, Whatever your level of skill, let your imagination run riot with your choice of yarn, stitch, colour, pattern, texture, motif, and design to create squares, beanie hats, hand warmers and toys,
Here are just a few ideas to get your needles clicking, though members from the southern hemisphere will have their own interpretations of the seasons. Be inspired by the colours of nature, by activities, events, and by food. Below are some wonderful examples that KAS members have already contributed this year.
SPRING
Green, yellow, white, purple.
Snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths, aubrietia, irises.
Easter eggs, Easter bonnets, chickens, bunnies and lambs, rainbows.
Spring into action in the fresh air, or Spring clean in the house! SUMMER
Cottage garden flowers – roses, delphiniums, nasturtiums, cornflowers, sweet peas. poppies in a cornfield – and lots, lots more.
Sun, sea, sand, beach balls, swimming, cricket bats, tennis racquets
Salads, ice-cream, lollies, barbecues.
National Events – France (Bastille Day) USA (Independence Day), UK (Trooping the Colour) - and I am sure many more.AUTUMN/FALL
Gold, russet, bronze, copper, orange, green.
Berries, leaves, pumpkins, apples, Halloween, Bonfire Night
Football, rugby, hockey
WINTER
Blue & white ice colours, log fires. Christmas colours & motifs, winter sports.
Even if you have only time to make a few items, they will all be welcomed. You will be helping to bring colour. cheerfulness and warmth into the children's lives.
I look forward to seeing your contributions on the Forum.

A WONDERFUL collection of squares, Rebecca!
I think my faves would have to be the Cherry pink/Apple blossom white and the sky in Spring. :))

Oh dear, once again I fell behind in my ambitions for the month...but I did have a nice long-ish visit with my sister from Canada. :))
My favourite part of Spring this year....the flowers..... -

A terrific month from everyone......I loved the colours, the patterns, the little 'special additions' to blankets and squares. As Amy said, all very inspiring!
Susan, you did it again!! You steered us brilliantly all the way through October, with your beautiful squares and kind comments.

Funnily enough we have had very few actual flower squares this month, so thank you, Bev, for showing us the lovely pot plants - my favourite the sunflower.
