In our latest Creative Culture article we've delved into the story of this era and its lasting impact on sewing and textiles!

Card twenty two of The Granny Square Flowers Card Deck is Blanket Flower. I had never heard of a Blanket Flower until I started researching flowers I wanted to include in the floral deck. As soon as I heard about them I thought they couldn’t be more apt for this project and they are beautiful too, so they had to go in!

Card twenty one of The Granny Square Stitches Card Deck is Cluster V Stitch.
This one gives a really lovely texture and when worked in stripes all over it can look a little like a chevron too.
