OPAM

Another month has passed sew it's time to post my finishes for OPAM with thanks to Peg and Kris for kindly keeping us on track.

I was pleased to have finished another "Super Hero" quilt

I used some nice polar fleece for backing to make it cosy for the cold winter in Victoria.

and another for a lady ..


It was lovely to send four quilts along to Jan for the Peter Mac Cancer Hospital.

and I did get my UFO place mats finished

but the Pineapples are still being quilted. Hope to have it done for next month.

I'm off to make a cuppa and then sit and stitch an Angel. What are you working on??

Happy Stitching...

UFOs

This morning I decided to tidy and dust the shelves in The Cave...   of course I had to check out what was in the boxes ....

I found several UFOs and started playing with the Scrappy Pinwheels.....

But before I got carried away it was popped back into the box and I finished cleaning up .

Before starting anything else I MUST finish these UFOs that have been hanging on the back of my chair for months...

Time to do a bit of hand stitching before going to bed. . Tomorrow the Pineapple blocks and place mats......
