BAM 2017 - January so far

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.




BAMCAL 2017

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.

  4. Pretty blue square - has a "delft" look to it!

    1. Thanks 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.

  5. Have I mentioned how much I love blue and so also love your latest squares? And Bertha is amazing - such a perfect studio mascot.

    1. Thank you MA, I love blue too, which is probably why I have so many blue yarn 'bits' in my stash.
