A Finish and OPAM For October

It's the end of October and time 

to report on our OPAM's.

 

Christmas Hostess Table Topper

 Dresden Plate Table Topper.

 Four lavender sachets.

 A new finish is my chicken table topper. 

October seems to be the month of table toppers!

Thanks to Peg and Kris for keeping up inspired with OPAM.

A Finish Or Two

I've made another table topper with a Dresden Plate. 

All the fabric came out of my stash which was great. 

The colours are more like the first two photos. 

How cute is this Red Barn Pin! I was the lucky September Let's Book It winner hosted by Sharon of Vrooman's Quilts. The little charm is an Eight Pointed Star. 

Thank you so much Sharon.

 

I also whipped up four more lavender sachets 

to add to the present drawer.

FHFS Dresden Swap and April OPAM!

We have just had our first swap in our Friends Having Fun Swaps. I was partnered up with Michelle of Rag-Tag Stitchin' and decided to make her a table topper. I know Michelle likes red so that is the colourway I chose.

I've never made a Dresden plate before and it was so much easier than I thought. I really enjoyed making it and will definitely be making more at some point.

 I decided to stitch another Dresden 

in the centre of the plate.

Of course, I also sent along some other goodies. Some red DMC thread as I know Michelle uses a lot of that. A block of Lindt chocolate. I though Michelle could eat one block a day for 18 days. Or 2 blocks over 9 days. Maybe 3 blocks over 6 days or even 18 blocks in one go! 

Of course, I know she didn't do the last one! LOL!

Michelle also loves birds and I found 

this gorgeous little ceramic hanger.

I hope you enjoy using your table topper Michelle. 

I really enjoyed making it for you.

 

 Thank you to Shez and Peg for organising this fun swap.

This gives me a grand total of one, yes one, 

project for the month of April!

Linking up with Elizabeth at Such a Sew and Sew.
