OPAM

As we have been on the road for over a month I am delighted to have completed one small finish for Augusts OPAM.. Thanks Peg and Kris for keeping me motivated each month. I enjoyed hand stitching along the way and it was great to machine stitch the boarders last FNSI with Wendy and friends...

Stitching Time

We are spending a few days in Toowoomba and it was fabulous to meet Fiona and Kris last Monday afternoon. Yesterday I needed to do a huge wash but ofcourse it rained (welcome to Sunny Qld, LOL).  Thankfully the caravan park has three big washing machines and two dryers. Sew in between loads I was able to sit and stitch some hexies. Now I can join Anthea for "Piece Yourself Together"

Wonderful Afternoon

Look who I was lucky enough to spend this afternoon with chatting while having coffee and scones...

The Fabulous Fiona picked me up from the caravan park to meet up with Lovely Kris at Quilters Angel.

I really enjoyed all the eye candy in the shop and of course a few things popped into my bag. 

                                 

Thank you Fiona and Kris for a fun few hours. XXX

FNSI in the "HUMPY"

Have joined Wendy  and the ladies for FNSI  in the Humpy. We are on the Sunshine Coast Qld but no sunshine, just rain. Good weather to do some sewing. I dug out my little machine from under my seat and had a great time sewing the borders and binding on a small wall hanging. Then I stitched one of Jenny's  " Vintage Kitchen " blocks.

Off to bed now were it's warm and cosy.

OPAM FOR July

                                                         

  

 As I was busy getting organised for our road trip I didn't get a lot finished in July but I was pleased to put together my swap blocks from Aussie Swap ladies .

Also two small projects, a Hot Water Bottle cover and two new placemats for the van. You can see these in my previous post...

Thanks Chooky for helping how to organise photos on my iPad. 

We're off again now on our way to Rockhampton.
