SYS 2015 - New prize revealed!


Last week Pren shared a simple but fun tutorial for a dishcloth to stretch your crocheting skills.
You can find the tutorial on the SYS2015 page!


And what are YOU making? Let's get the party started!!

Remember that in this link party only projects belonging to the SYS2015 series should be added 
(I reserve the right to delete any non compliant link). 
This link party will be open all year long and you can add as many finished projects as you want! 
The same link party will be shown on the SYS2015 page.
Each link will give you a chance to win one of the monthly prizes.

For this month in order to be eligible for prizes, you are asked to make a square crochet project using the pattern for the basic square in the tutorial, with any decoration design you like!
In the tutorial, we also listed some other objects (bags, pouches, etc): you can also enter any of those as long as you add the edging and/or the surface decoration using the technique described by Pren for the dishcloth. 

You can still link up blocks and projects from the Foundation Paper Piecing and Quilting tutorials!!
For rules about what will be accepted in those cases, please refer to this previous post and this other post.

This month the prize is offered by me and it's the bundle depicted below 
A crochet/knitting book, a fun measuring tale, yarn needles and some bon bons :)

I will draw a winner (using random.org) on May 6yh between all the entries in the link party. 
International participants are welcome!!

SYS 2015 - Tutorial 3, Crochet

After mastering Foundation Paper Piecing and Quilting, it's time to leave our sewing machine to rest and get our crochet hooks!!

This third tutorial is brought you by the wonderful Pren (convivialcrafter.blogspot.com)


A great simple and funky project that you can decorate with any line drawing you want.
In the tutorial I show what I decided to do and it's not the Deathly Hallows symbol ;)

The pdf (links below) contains the pattern and additional links to help you understand the different stitches!! Make sure to read the full tutorial before start stitching because there are several tips and tricks that may help you along the way!

The link up for SYS2015 is still open for your Syndrome blocks, FPP projects and free motion quilting/tangle stitches pieces!
You can link also your crochet projects, and next week I will tell you more about the prize for this month and what kind of projects are accepted to enter for the prize.

And speaking of prizes...
Today I draw the winner of the second month... and the winner is:
Congratulations Kysaundra!! I will get in touch with you to get your mailing address and get your prize right to your door!!

the SYS 2015 page.
