Naomi is the square joining expert, let me make this clear from the outset ! We get given so many lovely squares by all our kind crafters that we always have a bag of them that we are working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time and according to how we feel (are we in a crochet mood or a sewing one) we join those beauties in a number of ways.
