The week that was and OPAM finishes for October.

 Last week was a crazy week with a trip to the big smoke for GS2s graduation from High School. I hadn't been there since last December so it was great to see DD and family. catch up with my sister as well as some shopping. 

As it's nearly the end of October and I have another busy week I thought I'd post my finishes for the wonderful KRIS for OPAM who keeps us going to have some finishes each month.. Thanks heaps ❤

It was great to finally finish my Christmas Swap . The stitcheries were designed by 12 of our wonderful designers which we could download for free on Facebook at Love and Hugs Group




 









Huge thank you to all the designers for their time to do these beautiful designs...

After seeing Fiona's  lovely top she made on her post  I decided to try and make a top myself with the fabrics I had stashed in a draw. Defiantly not as pretty as Fiona's but I'll get some nicer fabric for the next one..


Over this weekend I made a baby quilt ready to take to a "Baby Shower"  this afternoon.





Must away now and have some brekky before my morning dip....


Happy stitching and stay safe.


Hugs  Maria ❤

FNSI and WOOFA

 A huge thank to the lovely Wendy  for organising our FNSI even though her hubby has been unwell. Thankfully he's on the road to recovery Wendy...

I got an early start in the Cave and decided to work on the next block for Urban Owls , which is my WOOFA  challenge with Cheryll.... 

  



The block is foundation pieced and in six sections...


It took me all afternoon to do the first  piece as I kept having too unpick...

But in the evening I did the next one which seamed to go together easier...



That's two down four to go...

Must away now and go to bed, it's 12.40am ... Have a busy day today, swimming , drop in for a Zoom meeting and then my Saturday lunch with my friend... 

Happy stitching and stay safe.

Hugs  Maria ❤

Catching Up..... RSC blocks, Aussie Hero and others...

 I've meant to do a post over a week ago BUT !!!!! didn't happen...I think that the weeks go Monday -Friday now as the days just slip by...

Anyway I'm happy we are finally going for our morning dip again ,


here the ladies are going to fill their little buckets so we can wash our feet before getting into our cars....

A few weeks ago the Patch ladies went to Greenough Cafe  for a sewing day... 







 It was lovely to just sit , chat and be severed both our morning tea and lunch. while we sewed, crocheted or knitted.







I did some secret sewing ....





I have also been working on some more of Lynette Anderson's Farm blocks...  



  







as well as Aussie Hero Blocks,





and the last colour for the RSC Blocks....






Now I have 20  X 10 1/2" blocks and need to work out how to make them into a quilt on point ???















Now I must away and sew some more shields as it's the "Days for Girls" meeting tomorrow....

Have a happy and safe week,

Hugs  Maria ❤
