My third OPAM (One Project A Month) for 2010!!!
What a great way to achieve a finished project every month...thank you to Peg for organizing this!!!
along with this stitchery...now complete!!!
Along the way Simone sent 2 more fabrics that just had to be included...you can see them at the left hand side...cupcakes with hints of gold in them!!!
Attaching fabrics around the stitchery...and the layout...
here is the back all stitched together...
and completed...A perfect Recipe Journal for desserts and cakes...
Thank You so much Simone for organizing this stitchery for 'us' to do...
and I'm looking forward to our next project!!!
Meanwhile...I bought this Hatched and Patched pattern a little while ago...and I'm going to use it to make a little bag for a birthday gift for someone's special birthday gift...
I have chosen these fabrics...
Not sure whether to use the variegated thread for the stitchery...
or individual colours...Guess I'll have to go and stare at it a bit longer!!!
Meanwhile...wishing everybody a safe, happy and Blessed Easter...Dzintra

Good morning sweet Dzintra!
Another fabulous project coming our way, thanks to you dear one! I just realized and wondered if you are familiar with Tristan's quilting work. I featured him on my previous post. He is a quilter and has a business called, "Manmade quilts"....isn't that clever? I saw him on an interview on YOUTUBE the other day, talking about his quilting! He is quite phenomenal. Lovely, lovely work here dearest. Happy day and Happy Easter!!! Anita
Oh, it is so funny to know that as I sit here with the cobwebs in my eyes early in the morning, you are down there enjoying a fine dinner! Bon Apétit and do go find Tristan on youtube, he is a delight! Bisous my dearest, Anita
A Happy Easter to you too Dzintra,love the colours in the fabrics Simone has sent you. I couldn't believe that you made a recipe journal,who would have guessed!!!! Happy stitching.

Hi Dzintra,

LOVE the fabrics! They work beautifully together.
I agree with all the above posts and would like to add they look terrific your opam projects . My hairdresser is going to Paris for two weeks on Saturday so I asked her to think about us.
Clever girl, I love your stitcheries! I am still determined to start one of my own. I must make the time, when I am driving again, to find a store that sells them. Your bag fabrics are very pretty, I would try the variegated thread! :D
You're so clever Dzintra
I certainly would not have the patience to create something this lovely... the journal is a fabulous idea...and I'm sure your bag will be just as lovely...
Wishing a fabulous easter to you and your family... xxx Julie
Beautiful work Dzintra~ I could just stare at the piles of fabrics! I love the reds... especially the fabric in the top photo with the diamond shape and flowers in the middle! Just gorgeous! OPAM is a wonderful way to get things done! Its always more fun to do projects with others. A wonderful Easter weekend to you dear Dzintra! xxxVicki
