"OPAM 2012" (One Project A Month) - 42 FINISHED PROJECTS

• I had even intention of being more timely with my blog posts. But in years past, time has flown by more quickly than I anticipate. Here we are at the end of March and it's been 3 months since I posted anything. Time to catch-up, with some recaps of projects I have made!
• I hand-crafted many projects in 2012. Not only did I sew 13 quilts, I also made a few table toppers, clothes, costumes, fabric-books for the grankiddos, a variety of baby items for gifts, and several knit items. 2012 was a productive year! Here's a look of my projects and a few pictures!

Another Creative Talent in Our Family

T-SHIRT DESIGNS BY ALEX

Have you seen this t-shirt at a Kohl's Store near you??
Isn't it a COOL design?!?
It was so exciting when we found it yesterday at our
Kohl's in San Marcos, CA!!

Why, you might ask?!? It's Simple --it's the second t-shirt, designed by
our son, Alex, and bought by a company to market and sell!!

Of course we had to buy a couple, and below it is proudly worn
by our son-in-law, David!!

So, you might want to check our the men's graphic t's at your Kohl's, too!!

Alex's first t-shirt design was bought by Target for their boys department.
Talk about a proud parent moment when we saw his first design
hanging on display in Target!!
It is currently on sale at many Target locations.
It sold out in a couple locations near us!
This t-shirt has been selling at Target since before Christmas.
It has been sold in San Diego county, Orange county,
and Pierce county, Puyallup, Washington!!
So check out your local Target.

We are so proud of our talented son, Alex!!!!
You can read more about these two designs, how they were picked,
