August 2014 OPAM

It was a slow month, but a few things did get done.

Six dish cloths and 4 kitchen hand towels:

The item below doesn't count as OPAM because it does not fit the criteria, but how about this adorable fairy house that I painted and embellished:

Have a great day!

Oh, May 2014 One Project A Month was a very good month for me.

Starting with my hexagon quilt:

Followed by my apple core hanging:

Then, two placemats for my cat to eat her food on because she doesn't like it when her bowl moves while she is eating:

A tablecloth:

Yes, for me it was a good month!

OPAM and Hexagon update

What did I do for the month of February for my OPAM (One Project a Month)?  Well, two baby blankets for the NICU section at our local hospital.  There is no batting in these blankets.  Just flannel on the back and cotton on the front. 

What do you think of my backs?  Pretty neat, eh!  The backs were made from a kit that had strips of flannel and I just trimmed and sewed them together.

This winter has been a good time for me to tackle the hand quilting on my hexagon quilt.  It has been a long, cold winter (and still is) and this quilt was most welcome to snuggle under during the evening hours.  Progress has been made and I'm thrilled with how close this quilt is to being finished.

 The left vertical border is done and Miss Ashes likes the feel of this quilt!

Here is a close up of the border.  This was a problem for me for the longest time.  What to do with the border?  Finally, I decided to just keep it simple and the problem was solved.  Time to move on and tackle another border on this quilt.

The section to the right of the arrows is what remains to be quilted.  After some diagonal rows are done, I switch to a border section.  Got to keep it interesting or boredom will set in and this quilt will be abandoned, once again!  :o)  So, this section below and three more borders to go.

I hope to have this quilt finished before the warmer weather in May arrives.

Have a great day!
