~OPAM...... (One Project A Month)~

2 small offerings for OPAM this month

2 Tea Towels.......or as I like to call them, Stitching Towels

(Pattern by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched......part of Angel Story)

A Stitching Towel is a towel you take with you when you are off to do stitching

You lay the towel out on the table in front of you and your work, threads etc sit on it rather than the table

Pretty neat I think!!!

Thank You Sweet Peg and Partner in Crime Kris for running OPAM again this year!!!

~GDITC~ Saturday

On entering the Hall at Girls Day in the Country on Saturday we were greeted with a
Cottage on the Hill mug and a lovely centre piece of pink flowers in a vase

Our kit for the day

comprised of a Lynette Anderson Easter Table Topper

Here's Lynette showing off the Sampler piece

A few Hexagons made

I caught up with Suzie

It was a windy day and chairs were required to hold the doors open

Dear Shez came around to the tables

Hello Girls would anyone like some fruit........being banana sweets lol

Our table

Kate received my Swap Gift

We were each given a stitchery by Lynette to use and make something out of it

I made a Stitching Towel to use as a protector for the table to lay one's sewing work on

Dawnie was prepared to fight for it lol

A copy of the Stitchery available over here

Thank You Lynette

I received my Swap Gift from Shez

a little bag which is  holding my Hexagons

Thank You Shez......I love it and my Hexies are still sitting there

During the day I caught up with Lynette

OPAM (One Project A Month).....March 2015

One small item for OPAM this month for the Girls Day in the Country (GDIC) Swap

A little stitchery was provided for us, by Lynette Anderson,  to stitch up and turn into something 

 

I used a tea towel......added a piece of linen and put the stitchery on to it and added some ric rac.

Tutorial for the towel can be found
at Jenni at Elefantz

Thank you Jenni!!!

Only thing is I called it a Stitching Towel.......
a towel one can take with them to lay on the table to protect their work from any sticky marks etc that may be on the table

The back

Kate was the one who received this Swap gift........so pleased it went to a fellow Blogger!!!

Thank you so much Peg and Kris for hosting OPAM!!!
