I have answered your discussion thread but in case it gets buried I'll put it again here:
If you scroll down the Forum categories you will see a blue heading Challenges. The Countdown Challenge is under that and there is a spreadsheet so that you can see your own entry which at the moment says 'Mandy Covington 17 squares' .
Rona would appreciate if you would enter your new total ' I am sending xx squares today so my new total will be 17 + xx' and she will add it to the spreadsheet.
(And if you could, add them to the 2010 Tally [on page 2 of Forum Categories] which is the whole year count - a copy and paste job, and UK Group 2010 Tally, similar.
Glad you're still with us - the numbers are going up steadily.

- Hi Mandy
I love your squares - all of them and thank you for putting up the pattern for the heart squares. Apparently the children understand that hearts mean love and appreciate them for that reason.
I am surprised that I have so enjoyed embellishing the squares. I have never done any embroidery or applique and usually just knit stuff into my squares. I didn't think I would have the patience to sew and I don't actually have the materials at the moment but I think I may be buying some. I thought for boys cars, vans, (bikes if I can draw one), boats, trains, planes, animals -I've just finished a pig under a button tree, maybe a monkey, snakes perhaps. I don't think I am going to have time to knit. Anyway, thank you for the inspiration.
