OPAM (One Project A Month)

Slowly starting to get back into sewing here now

First finished item for this month is a Needlecase

Pattern by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched for Tilda

Inside

The loops are to hold goodies like tape measure etc

And the back complete with Tilda Homemade label

Thank you so much Sweet Peg and her Partner in Crime Kris for hosting OPAM yet again for another year!!!

Needleturn Appliqué

My first foray into Needleturn Appliqué and I discovered it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be!!!

I think the secret to it is using he correct needle which I didn't know about until I actually looked up how to Needleturn on the net..........it also helped using the tiny pins!!!

And the surprise discovery......I really loved the process!

My first project is a Needlecase which I'm trying to finish off for this month's OPAM (One Project A Month).  Pattern by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched and the kit I won from Deb at Frog Cottage!!!

I'll have to go to the computer later and put links in as I don't know how to on the iPad!!!

~Needlework Group Projects~

Here are a couple of projects from my Needlework Group run by Fiona and assisted by Shirley

The first is a Baskets of Flowers zippered pouch in beige/red 

and another in green and brown

For a tutorial very similar to these go over here

An appliqued tea towel

Scissor Keep

and finally this bag with stitchery

I swear I have enough projects to last me forever but I can't help collecting them

And yes, I will get around to doing them!!!

This weekend there is an Airing of the Quilts up in historic Braidwood, the first town to be listed on the New South Wales Register 

And have fun gals to the ones going to Hatched and Patched at Bathurst for a blog meet......one of these days I will hopefully get there....

Happy Weekend....Dzintra xo
