Thanks always to Kris who keeps up the OPAM tally for us... I have 25 finishes
Safari Snaps was a finish this month....
and so were the 21 Bird House Tags...
I made myself a sewing tray and thread catcher....
And this week I finished off this baby quilt....
I did these sweet stitcheries (designed by Michelle) in 2015 and put the top together....
Finally got to quilting it in December last year....
... and this week sewed the binding on and hand sewn down at Sewing Day....
the backing is rather delicious I think....
This trough was once a worm farm, then a compost heap and now has graduated to a herb garden (with a few lettuce and rocket to fill spaces for now)
I have started this sweet baby quilt, I bought the pattern a few years ago and am finally doing it.... at the moment going through all the colours and cutting up the little pieces.... a big painstaking...
I saw Jennifer's lovely knitting and got enthused, I don't have one hand made jumper and I need an easy carry project later this year..... nothing like a bit of preplanning! Delicious colour wool from Bendigo Woollen Mills....
Fits perfectly in my drawstring bag - a gift from Michelle....
This picture is a wierd colour, I took it off our TV. Hubz has been keeping an eye on this Bald Eagle in Canada, yesterday it was protecting bubs from the snow but late afternoon her Hubby came by and we could see a second egg (which apparently they don't expect to hatch).... Youngster has grown lots of course.
Technology is wonderful for this sort of thing, we also watch the birds and flowers in his brothers garden and a number of waterholes in Africa.
I have made a decision about what to do with the rest of Terra Australis. Found this free pattern on the internet and I have bought some creamish grunge to be a contrast. It is a good jelly roll pattern too. If I don't have enough of the fabric it will be an easy one to add a couple of plains to.
A good month, I am getting through some of the quilt tops I have, but also making new ones!!!
Righto, Gotto Go, some more giraffe blocks to cut and perhaps I can make a start on Puzzle Box chopping... I should be nice and bake a cake though..... Hubz has a birthday tomorrow.... hmmmmm

a wonderful month for you Fiona, some lovely new projects.
I love those giraffes, they are too cute.
Stunning finishes as always.
It's nice to have a woolly project for the cooler times
Blimey! How did you find time to achieve all that? Did you ever go to sleep? Some lovely finishes there. Your new starts are a good reward. There are done wonderful things on the interweb, just a pity we always hear the negative.
Hi Fiona wow you sure have achieved a lot this month ,thankyou for showing us your beautiful finishes ,you are very inspiring my friend.
Oh I love the eagles very interesting .
I love the knitting bag Michelle made you Fiona and I look forward to seeing your progress with your cardigan and quilt ,take care lovely lady 💕🤍💕
Well done on your finishes, Fiona! Love your Bendy yarn, what a gorgeous colour....like the cardy too, a nice easy pattern. I have a jumper made from that yarn more than 20 years ago and it's still going strong, it wears really well.
Congratulations on all your wonderful finishes, Fiona. And enjoy all your new starts!
I agree with Janice, when do you sleep?
so many beautiful finishes and both new projects are beautiful.
I did see you baked a yummy chocolate cake for hubby.
My goodness, I think I have only completed 1 thing this month. Absolutely adore the baby quilt, so cute and just my colours. Great to pre plan and have an on the go project. Wonder what you will get up to next month xcx
Oh my! You had an amazing month.
Wonderful finishes for the month Fiona, your new projects look great too.
Happy Birthday to dear Hubby. I'm sure you will spoil him silly.

Not just a good month, also a very productive one. Congratulations on your finished quilts. Lovely work.
Belated happy birthday to the birthday boy! Love your Safari quilt finish and you have quilted Bears beautifully. Happy my dilly bag came in handy to hold that gorgeous wool....so rich looking!
Good luck with the herbs. We are so lucky to be able to have a window view to nature through technology....to get up so close and learn so much...delightful! We have been watching Meeting the Meerkats....so interesting xx
what a great collection of finishes........you did so well.......
Hi Fiona ... love all your creations & your work makes my head spin as you are so productive. I adore that yarn colour ... just beautiful & the project bag is gorgeous to!!
Just catching up as had to go away to my Mums again ... enjoy your weekend Fiona. xx
lots of great work - as always - love the giraffes and the puzzle box pattern is grat for jelly rolls.
Happy knitting.
Gosh, you are right, it was a very productive month for you! Well done on all the finishes. It's so satisfying to be finishing off some longer term projects too. Yes, there is lots of cutting for the Sew Fresh quilts - but so worth it for her delightful designs! That yarn is such a delicious colour :-)
