Hasn't OPAM come around so quickly this year...
at least I am managing to complete 1 item a month!!!
This one a little Travel Case by Pearl P. Pereira of P3designs.com for my Friend Fiona for her recent birthday...
Fiona loves her garden and her plants so I chose a gardeny/floral theme...
Happy Birthday Fiona!!!
These are so handy...they can be filled up with your needful things ready for your project!!!
And much excitement here...I have completed Block B of A Gardeners Journal by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched...YAY!!!
And here'tis joined onto Block A...and such fun to put together too!!!
I have used as many of Anni's fabrics as I could to make this quilt a little more special...
Anni is in Bathurst (where I used to live) and I remember sitting at my friend Geo's house doing some stitching and Anni came along...
She mentioned she was opening a shop soon...and the rest is history!!!
It's been quite cold here and my arm is feeling it...
planning to stay warm and get some more stitching done this weekend...
Bring it on...Dzintra aka Ingrid

I'm glad you manage to get the OPAM projects done every month. The garden journal blocks are adorable. I remember Anni that way too. Man, you mentioned Geo's house oh I do miss the gatherings we had there - Have a great weekend stitching and keep warm - Hugs Nat
Anni's patterns are so lovely! And I totally agree: it is SO MUCH FUN to do!!! ;))
Great that you and Nat know her personally.
The present you made is a sweetie.
Enjoy your weekend en dress warm.

Some lovely OPAM finishes for you, Dzintra!

Dzintra my dearest....again, such beauty in patches...like life, no? Quilting is a story telling process and you do it so well my friend....I am so glad to have all these mediums of communication and art that in the end, spell out JOY.
My hope and prayers are that your arm gets stronger through therapy and through this winter of WAITING....we here are having our delightful days of summer and in the brightness of the sun, I lift up my thoughts towards you that your healing come QUICKLY, for you have waited long enough.
In the meantime, keep your work going! IT IS STUNNING!!! Anita
I love your show and tell!! So many pretty things! The handy hold all with the rotary cutter is such a great idea. Your story about Anni Downs is so lovely! Stay warm Dzintra and look after your arm. ( I'm sipping my Friday night cocktail, cheers!!)
Love your GJ.... and well done on your finish Dzintra, the travel case is just fantastic...
Oh dearest heart..you are so kind...I capture your glass of pink bubbles with strawberry....Oh how divine is that on this HOT summer day here in Minnesota!
