April Projects .....



OPAM is hosted by Peg and Kris.....  this month I managed to  finish 5 projects.....


Mug rug, Table Topper, Scraps bucket and Dogs Blanket


and these cute little baby shoes


Finishing Stitches is hosted by Joy and includes UFO's that blocks have been made towards a finish

The main one I am doing is Dutch Treat which is all hand applique....

I got 10  blocks done this month for it (my original plan was 1 a week so I feel very pleased when I over achieve on them!!)






Of the finished projects 2 of them were UFO's - I am always extra pleased when an old project is brought out the cupboard and finished....

I inherited these little snail's trail blocks - just had to remove the papers and put them together and add some flying geese to them



Another of my monthly challenges is a Christmas Item each month hosted by Narelle....

... this month all I managed was a block towards a Christmas project....



a little bit of progress is better than none....

So there we go..... last day of April ..... 



Righto, Gotto Go... working on some home made shopping bags.....  should get an early finish for May!

  10. Lovely finishes. Ironically I found lots of pieces of left over snail trail blocks from when I started quilting. I started making them up and then ran out of main fabric, but your little quilt has given me a good idea thanks!
