Finishes for December OPAM and a PhD

Sitting down to enjoy Carols in the Domain on TV I had no hand stitching to work on so what was I to do? Remembering I still had half the ball of red/silver wool left, I picked up the knitting needles once more and managed to knit 3/4 of the 2nd ruffle scarf. In no time the next day I had a 2nd Red Ruffle scarf fnished...perhaps a gift for someone in 2012.

Another UFO and PhD finished last night.  This quilt was a stack and slash I did at the end of 2006 so it's been a UFO for some time. Last month it became my first quilt on the frame and after some trials the quilting was completed. Monday I machined the binding and last night finished hand stitching the binding on the back and ta da! "Citrus Splash" is a UFO no more.

This one I can also mark off as one of my pledged PhD's. 4 down and 1 to go.

Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy and Joyous Christmas.

FNSI Finishes, OPAMs and UFOs

Thankyou to Friday Night Sew-In ... I was able to get some finishes including a UFO.

Firstly is another Sewing Caddy which had binding added and hand stitched down. The Caddy is now wrapped and safetly hidden away ready for a Birthday this Thursday.

Secondly I quickly machined around this chicken scratch potholder, turned the right way out and hand stitched the opening closed. I think this could be my first UFO for the year and am too scared to work out just how old it was.

Lastly my peg basket, another very old UFO ... binding added and hand stitched down. Just 3 buttonholes and buttons and another UFO bites the dust.

I'm very pleased with this month's FNSI and can count two things for March OPAM ... how did you sew?
