Final OPAM For 2020!

My last two finishes for 2020!

Jemma's cushion. 

  

Fee's Hoop

Many thanks to Kris for keeping us inspired during 2020.

I'm hoping to get a lot more stitching done next year as Noel 

has now officially retired, so that means I'm retired too!

 

Merry Christmas 2020!

  

Wishing all our family and friends

a very Merry Christmas.

Lots of Love

Christine and Noel

Mitchell and Steph

A BBQ, Cricket and FNSI

Last night we went to Mitchell and Steph's for their first 

BBQ in their new home. So I didn't get any stitching done.

For the first time ever, Noel and Mitchell were playing in the same 

cricket match. Mitchell played down to fill in for Noel's team as he was 

finishing a bit earlier to be groomsman for one of his mates whose wedding 

had been delayed due to COVID (you can't leave early in the higher grades). 

This is probably the only time they will play together. 

Noel took up cricket to help out last year and is playing again this season. 

Nothing like taking up a new sport when you're 64!

I watched the cricket for a little while and then headed home 

to join the girls in the Northern hemisphere for their FNSI. 

I worked on my Tilda hexagon quilt.

Thank you to the lovely Wendy for hosting 

Friday Night Sew-In this year.

 

F Is For Fee!

 

I made this stitchery hoop for the lovely Fee. 

Fee runs the Tilda Lovers Club on Facebook 

She is such a generous and giving lady and I just thought 

I would like to send her a little thank you surprise. 

I used one of Michelle Ridgeway's (Rag-Tag Stitching) designs.

Well, this is my final finish for 2020!

I'm looking forward to 2021 with new adventures. 

Noel is officially retiring at the end of this year 

and our new "life in retirement" will begin!

Another Cushion

  

The final handmade gift for Christmas (I think) other 

than the Christmas gift baking (which is also now done). 

I have made this for Nelson's girlfriend, Jemma. 

I haven't made a rectangle one before and am 

very pleased with how this has turned out.
