Flowers Abound giveaway

Hooray, it's another giveaway!



This time, I was asked by the ever-fabulous Shelley Husband from Spincushions blog if I'd like to have a little look at her new ebook before its release... And maybe host a giveaway...?

It took me all of 3 milliseconds to reply with a resounding 'yes'! - I've loved following Shelly on Instagram and watching her crochet designs take shape. She is a very talented designer and blogger and hosts amazing CALs (crochet-a-longs) and already has two very successful ebooks.



Her new book, Flowers Abound will be available later on this month, either as an ebook, or as a PDF and features 20 beautiful flower motifs. Why not use them to make a blanket, cushion cover, rug, bedspread, or a scarf?



And what a smashing book it is! There's lots of advice, tips and tricks for how to make these squares. Shelley's even designed a border to finish off your project beautifully.

I had to have a little play and so crocheted Zahra and Fhool squares. 


Aren't they pretty?
My plan is to make a cushion cover. I think I'll choose a few more motifs from the book, too.

Would you like to win a copy?

I thought so.
Just leave a comment below and I'll draw a winner on Saturday (22nd Aug).

Have a great week, everyone.
