OPAM (One Project A Month)...April

And here is my OPAM for April!!!
Thanks to Peg and Kris for organizing this...I KNOW I do get more done than I normally would!!!
So happy with this one too...
I saw this little label amongst others and bought it not knowing what I would use it for...



I've made this bag before and I just love it...


Fabrics purchased from My Patch at Milton...


And ta da here is this cute little bag...front


and back...


and hanging...


I also finished this block for our Needlework Group...
this was homework at Christmas...
Fiona organizes blocks for everyone and during the year they are put together into a quilt and raffled off...pretty good I think!!!

OPAM...(One Project A Month)...the cover that didn't fit!!!

Now I'm really running waaaay overtime here...
OPAM for March complete but I just haven't had time to post it....
I hope I'm still in the running Peg and Kris...
thank you to these 2 wonderful ladies for running OPAM!!!


Stitchery received from my dear Friend Michelle (no blog) and completed in 2011...
I thought I would make it up into a journal cover...little realizing that somehow I got the measurements wrong and the cover didn't quite fit!!!


Cover all complete...


literally sewn on!!!


And the inside....


These are the books that Mr Armchair bought hoping one of them would fit the cover...


this is the one I bought...

This is the book I wanted to cover...
I started it last Christmas...
it will hold the meals we have had...
recipes.......Christmas Card list......addressess...
and anything Christmasey...
now I'll have to transfer last year's over to the happy pink journal!!!

I hope I have made it for March Peg and Kris!!!
