Not a lot done for OPAM
(One Project a Month) this month...
just these 2 little wallets...ideal for coffee cards and various other shopping
cards we all seem to accumulate...
This one was made for my dear Friend Geo as she had said to me that she would like one when I blogged about them for a previous OPAM...
I decided to put a little timber button on her one...a little angel as she loves angels!!!
Button is by Barb of Theodora Cleave...
At the end of the week I am off to a workshop at Steph's...
called Quilt in Stitches...a workshop run to learn more about the stitches on my (nearly) new sewing machine...Only 2 fabrics required, a solid and a patterned...
I have chosen a tea dyed look homespun and Civil War fabrics...
Above right from left to right...
first one will be with the solid (also above left, in the centre)...the brown one also above left will be inner border...(1st left above)...the teal colour will be the outer border (above left, 3rd) and one of the other 2 will be binding...
And while on the Civil War I have received my copy of The Union Quilters, the latest book by Jennifer Chiaverini in the Elm Creek series...
thoroughly enjoying these books, especially the ones that talk about the Civil War/Slavery/life in the 1800's...all of which I find fascinating!!!
And here is a quilt top put together by Jenny from my Needlework Group which I have recently gone back to...still not driving though as arm is still a bit stiff and I don't feel confident...
All the stitcheries were done by ladies in the Group and the quilt will be raffled off later in the year...
Thank you to Fiona for organizing these stitcheries and quilt for us all...
Wouldn't it be lovely to win...it's oh sooo pretty!!!

What a lot of lovely things! Your projects are gorgeous, love the little angel. Such a great idea to do a class using different stitches. Yummy civil war fabrics! I think it's wonderful that there are designers out there that research patterns from the past and bring them back to life so when get to play with them.The raffle quilt looks wonderful and will no doubt raise lots of funds!
Dzintra your projects are gorgeous,
and the material is so pretty
hope your arm is getting a little better each day
Hugs
I love the quilt Dzintra, someone is going to be very lucky..Glad to know your arm is healing..
the card purse is a great idea and yours came out beautiful.
Geo will like the angel I'm sure.

Hello Dzintra,
The button just adds that bit of zing to the purse. Good luck with the quilting project you have planned.
Someone is going to be a lucky duck winning that quilt.
happy days.
