Octopus Finish & OPAM!

Are you wondering about that blog title??? 🤣 It was one of those predictive text moments where I started typing “October” & autocorrect/predictive text decided I REALLY meant to type “octopus” ... & it was too funny to change back! Tee! Hee! Hee! 

Despite predictive text’s ‘help’, I actually have an October finish to share with you. Ready??

Ta! Da! My “Cheeky Chimpies” quilt is finished! And I love how it came together. 😍You know this is one of my favourite colour palettes to play with & after lots of sketching & changing during the design process, I love the cheeky expressions on the faces of the hide-and-seek Chimpies. 😁 

It’s a bit hard to see in the pic, but once again my quilting fairy, Fabulous Fiona  worked her quilting magic for me. The background of the appliqué blocks looks a bit like twitching, curly monkey tails, don’t you think? 😉 Thanks Fiona! 😘

 It’s ready to go off to its recipient, my sorta-nephew ... my Sorta-Sister’s bub. 😜 I actually got to meet him during a quick visit, but I didn’t have the binding sewn down, so the quilt might be a Christmas giftie. 😜

So ... I FINALLY have a finish to add to my OPAM tally ... it was a bit of a dry spell for a few months. 😉 And I’m not the only OPAMer who has been adding to my tally, with ...

74 FINISHES 

... added to the spreadsheet for October, along with quite a lot of progress on longer term projects that I had sneaky-peekies of during my blog hopping. Well done everyone! And the October random draw prize winner is ...

Congrats Raewyn!  Drop me an email so I can send you a PDF pattern prize. And thank you to all of you lovely OPAMers for sharing your creative journey with me ... I love seeing the variety & creativity of your projects & hearing how you’re making time to refresh your soul with needles & thread ... whether that’s stitching, quilting, knitting, crochet or some other soft craft. 🥰

Right now, though, I’m off to play with my black, white & red quilt ... with a cuppa, of course! 🤣 Whatever you’re up to this week, I hope you stay safe, stay well, keep stitching & keep smiling. 🥰 Til next time ...
