MAY OPAM & binding blitz

Here are all my finishes for MAY in one post

Here are my 1XiAM but there are 5

2 very quick Table Runners & 3 Bon Bons to put in those lovely chockies... Yummy.

My 3 COTTAGE GARDEN thread holders. I made one for my Gail Pan swap with my friends at a day out at the Geelong Quilt In, the other two are in the gift box or for the trade table during the year.

 My 4 scrappy pink thread catchers, my green scrappy zippered pouch, purse and journal cover, Xaviers Library Bag & a stitched note book cover

Then for the last of my items this month are my BLANKETS OF LOVE for Cheryll to take to the hospitals

BINDING BLITZ FOR MAY =  788"

OPAM or maybe a few more

I have made a few little items that I might be selling at a stall, some will be given to the trade table and some are gifts....
Here is another thread holder. It is a great size for the Cottage Craft threads. It holds 24.. Just using up more of my crumbs...

A friend has given me 10 zips to put towards making items for the trade table. I made this zipper pouch but I have to learn a better way to sew the ends. I had a bit of trouble. The little zipper purse doesn't take long to make. I do see most of it by hand though. I find it so much easier.

Lastly was a journal cover...

Over at Angela's the month of May is GREEN but April was PURPLE.

I didn't really get much done in these colours but every little bit helps.

FNSI & GEELONG QUILT IN

I had a great night sewing last night for FNSI.

I GOT A FEW PROJECTS FINISHED...

Here was the main project ready for a gift I needed for the GEELONG QUILT IN...

It will be included in my OPAM & BINDING BLITZ.

This is what I made for my Gail Pan design gift. It was a COTTAGE GARDEN THREAD HOLDER.

Filled with a few goodies. Barb was the winner of my gift. Funnily enough this was the same gift she had stitched. She has made 2 of them but didn't have one for herself. I am hopeful that she likes my one. Now Barb can store her own threads.

This is what I worked on today. It may become a pocket or patch on a bag. I'm not sure yet. We had to sit still for a while today so we managed to get quite a bit done......

Here is the group really concentrating and working hard... Annie and I getting into trouble. Everyone's GAIL PAN gifts. What a great selection.

I think we wore poor Shez out. We caught Shez having a power nap. I'm sure she loved her gift though.

Here is Anne, o'Faigh, me & Marg with the gifts they received... Smiles all around.

Here is Barb receiving her gift. It sure looks like she was happy.

What a great group photo. Everyone looks like they were having so much fun. 

Christine, Sue & Kim with their beautiful gifts.

Well, it was fun to catch up with all the girls.

I did have a great day.

Mmmmm, NOT SURE HOW I DID NOT MANAGE TO GET A PHOTO OF MEL....

Only in the group photo...

FNWF Progress

After having such a busy day sorting out paperwork and making lots of phone calls I hid away in my workroom and sewed......

This is what I got done.... 4 thread catchers made with pink crumbs for the trade table

Then I finished this......
