I thought I'd show you a couple more pics of Bertha Bling this week.
To read her story go here
And she has been featured, along with some of her kin,
on the Laughing Purple Goldfish site.

Another block has been made for my Blues afghan.
This block started off as the circle design from a book (Granny Squares & Shapes by Susan Pinner), but it was a circle, so I modified it to be a square.
And here's how my 3 (so far) January blocks are looking together.
I'm not joining them together until I have made them all, and at the moment, I don't know how many I shall be making... as this is meant to be a stash busting project it just depends on when I run out of blue yarn I suppose.
I'm quite pleased that I have January off to a good start.
I have also made two more blocks in a different colourway, but I cannot show them here yet.
Onwards and upwards.
Happy Stitching.

Bertha is so cute. What a fun thing to make. Loving your squares too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marsha. To me, being creative has got to be fun!!
DeleteBertha is busting out all over! lol What fun you must have doing such unconventional things. And I love your square. Love the colors and the design. Pretty blocks every one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becki, I had a good laugh at your play on words "busting out all over", lol.
DeleteBertha Bling is something else! Your squares are beautiful! You're very good at combining colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra. It's all about contrasts.
DeletePretty blue square - has a "delft" look to it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn, the delft look 'does' it for me alright, but I won't be putting this block on my Welsh dresser along with my blue & white china collection.
DeleteHave I mentioned how much I love blue and so also love your latest squares? And Bertha is amazing - such a perfect studio mascot.
ReplyDeleteThank you MA, I love blue too, which is probably why I have so many blue yarn 'bits' in my stash.
DeleteOh my, Bertha is quite something isn't she!
ReplyDeleteWow, Bertha Bling is fabulous, and I love the squares!
