OMG for August

We are into the 8th month of the year already....even though not a great deal has been happening in our "social and outing life"  the weeks are flying by and before we know it Christmas will be upon us.  I was very happy with the Christmas coasters that were made for a recent blog hop so a decision was made to make a few more but this time using some theme fabric to suit some of my friends likes and interests.  Below are some of the fabrics to be used.


Getting these made will be my OMG for August.

More masks have been made this time for Miss M and her mummy and daddy.     I did not have a pattern for a child's mask so the pattern was "shaved" down in order to make it a bit smaller.    No prizes for guessing which two were made for Miss M.


And I was able to finish off those that were cut and pinned for hubs and I.   We are going to have to check with each other to make sure that we do not wear our "twin" masks at the same time - LOL.


I have been having major issues with my emails for the last 4 days and thought that I was going to miss out on joining Chookyblue's zoom party but I finally had success with Optus late this afternoon so I was able to join in with a few of the girls for a short while.     My apologies to those who have left comments on my blog over the past few days and not heard back from me.   I will get  back to you as soon as I can now that the problem has been fixed - hopefully.   

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

    Your comment about the twin masks made me giggle! When we were in a motorcycle club and often traveled together, each couple wore matching t shirts. It was a good way to know who was with whom, and waitresses knew which guy went with which gal when they totaled the bill! Funny now, but it seemed good then!
    Coasters are always a great gift item!

    Nice fabric for the coasters. Are you going to use insulated wadding inside them?

    It is always good to plan ahead for Christmas. But no matter how much I do I still seem to run out of time. Good luck!
    The masks look great. I think quilters have found their true purpose this year!

    I like the mask pattern that you are using with the nose shape. My post today is all about making masks in August.

    Masks masks masks and more masks. Oh how crazy this world is. I guess someone donated some shields for teachers at my school. I have a few masks but wonder if a shield will better help me talk on the microphone in class. I do feel like the masks are good protection though, especially if made from quilter's cotton.
