Gertrude wants you to know she is not from Guinea nor is she a pig! Her ancestors came from the Andes mountains but these days they prefer the comforts of human homes and they are very affectionate and responsive to handling and feeding, but mostly feeding! This simple pattern looks fantastic in any fabric and is a great stash-busting pattern too!
