OPAM , WOOFA Challenge and Sign Up for FnwFs

 As it's the end June and half way through the year ( unbelievable) it's time to post my OPAM for Kris who keeps me going to have a finish or two each month . 

Finally got the binding done on the "Bargello"

A "Bingo Bag" for my DD2 

a new "Bowl Cosy" for me. 

and  5 X Drawstring Bags I sent to Jan Mac..

For my WOOFA challenge with Cheryll  I was happy to have put "The Urban Owls" quilt under the machine and do another two rows of quilting ...

That's the four rounds of the flying geese completed..Now to work out how to quilt the next round???

Getting it slowly done as it's a huge quilt and heavy to pull around under my machine......

Thank you to both Kris and Cheryll for organising us as these challenges do keep me on track..

Next don't forget to pop over to Cheryll's Blog to sign up for FnwFs to enjoy a fun night of sewing along with our virtual friends 

Must away to tidy up and work out what to work on for Friday.

Stay safe and well 

Hugs  Maria  ❤

It’s that time Again…

to post my finishes for OPAM and "Sew it's Finished" .



I am pleased to be able to show you my very first Post Card. A “Pincushion Hakea” an Australian native which grows on The Block. It was sent Karen in Canada… It took sew long to arrive I was worried it had got lost…..



and this is the lovely one I received from Karen. Love it….

These are two cushion covers I made for  my partner Clare in the "Lets Celebrate  Swap" for Spring.



the cushions are also my UFO finish for this month’s  “Sew it’s Finished”

This cute little Sewing Case was our SAL project for August.





Finally the bag make from the panel I made at the Mesh Work Shop I attended the other week.





Thank you to ALL the ladies who helped me get these finishes this month…
Only 6 weeks to our Hanging…. I better get into the cave and do some quilting……….
