For my OPAM this month I have done an appliqued tea towel...
All coming from this little basket of leftover bits...
Not a whole lot of stitching finished this month due to a birthday and Easter celebrations...but a bit happening in between but no other finishes!!!The little heart on the basket fabric is from a little pram quilt made for little Lidija's arrival...
and the first and second pear are from Tilda fabrics sent to me by Simone!!!
OPAM is organized by Peg and Kris...thanks so much Gals...this inspires me to finish something each month!!!
If you get a chance do visit these blogs to be inspired and see all the other OPAMS!!!
Meanwhile, I have made a start on this pattern from Anni Downes ...
In the end I chose the variegated thread...
and doing it in Autumn colours!!!
Meanwhile a surprise card from Cattinka for my birthday...all the way from Germany!!!
Thank you Katrin...I did have a beautiful birthday!!! With this full on Autumn weather I hope to get a bit further on with my bag...and hopefully try out my new oven which arrived on Wednesday...YAY!!!
I think morning tea will be on the go for tomorrow!!!

Dzintra! What a fabulous bag of goodies here! You know, I think this is my favorite thing...receiving a box or bag of fun little tidbits that you can use in your sewing, art or decorating. This was a fun birthday for US, wasn't t dear? I never even thought I would "get" anything from anyone....I just wanted to PARTY DOWN with my friends, but I got some of the most beautiful cards and "tidbits" that really mean so much to me. I send you my wishes for not just your birthday, but for a cozy and memorable AUTUMN, as we enter into our glorious spring here.
Bisous! Anita
I hope to see more of your new bag soon, it looks very interesting!

Can't wait to see your new bag Dzintra! Sounds like you're busy and enjoying your fall and birthday~ I wish I could do more with OPAM, but for now I'll have to be satisfied with doing bits and pieces of indoor projects. Spring has me running. (: Have a great week~ xxxVicki
