October OPAM And A Catch Up!

 Two finishes for October.
Baby Madelyn's quilt.
 Sewing bag.
 Thanks to Peg and Kris for keeping us inspired.
 We had a couple of birthdays in October.
Nelson turned 18 on the 22nd.
 My baby is so grown up now.
Bought himself a new car and now just waiting to get his license.
 Two days later, Austin celebrated his 20th birthday.
October also saw the North of the Yarra Quilters exhibition.
I entered my Double Wedding Ring quilt.
A new generation has started quilting in our family. 
This is Harmony, my 7 year old great niece. 
With the help of Grandma, 
Harmony made her first quilt.
 
As convenor of the quilt show, it was lovely that I was able
to present Harmony with her certificate and prize.
Harmony has been invited to exhibit 
her quilt at next year's Showcase!
I had a win on The Red Boot Quilt Company's facebook page. 
Thank you Toni for my lovely prize.
To finish up, here is a photo of our favourite young people!
Mitchell and Steph, Nelson, Paris and Austin.
