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 ...

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!

You certainly nailed the cheeky look on the chimps, and the perfect fabrics too. Your sorta nephew is very lucky to have you as a sorta aunt.
