Some ‘Me’ time to work on OPAM

 

Tuesday is my only day off so when I asked DH if he wanted to meet me for lunch and was turned down, followed by DD2 turning me down as she had to go ‘out’ I was more than a bit ‘miffed’ but rather than feeling sorry for myself I cranked up the stereo, turned on the fan in my sewing room, lit a scented001 candle and gave the sewing machine a jolly good run.

A week or so ago I started making these dear wee blocks using a004 Robyn Pandolph selection of fabric.  I had no idea what I was making but I just kept making them.

Well today I decided 002enough was enough so they got sashed, sandwiched and quilted and now bound. Yeah, another finish for OPAM.

Just by the by, it’s amazing just how good the bright sunlight makes the colours look compared to the overhead fluro lights in my sewing room.007

Now what else can I get stuck into???

Have a great day

  1. Hiya sweet, that is really lovely and as you say the cololurs all go so well together.
    But what a cheek being turned down for lunch with you, I'd be a bit miffed also.
    You need to live closer, we'd always find time for lunch!!

  3. Oh so so sad no lunch I would have come with you if I had lived closer... or even spent the day sewing with you, I find I do better with company when I am sewing.
    Sunday is our UFO day at Patchwork you just go along 10-3 I get more done there than at home on the lonesome.
    Hugs Laurie
