ScrapHappy October 2023

Good morning from the lovely town of Mudgee in NSW.

We are here having a wonderful time on our yearly National Rally with the HONDA STowners Club.

Hubby celebrated his birthday yesterday as well and he had a marvellous time with the ‘loves of his life’… the motorcycles & of course all his ‘OzStoc’ Family 😍

And no I had not forgotten I’d be here when scraphappy day came …. I am prepared 🥳🤩

It’s been a very busy few weeks for me as a friend (I mentioned in my previous post) is going to India and wants to take handmade gifts to her family there … last month I made a few and have been continuing since.

I have made a set of four placemats for one family of four.

The base are some red napkins I have had for a few years now , the top was an organza piece I found in the scrap pile at spotlight 🥰

The second piece is a table runner I made for a very special friend who came down from India to visit her son who lives in Melbourne. She has been a family friend way back and always makes an effort to visit my mum when she comes and she loves all my posts about quilting so I thought it would be a good gift & a light weight gift to give her as she travels back home to Kolkata today.

Needless to say she loved it 🥰

GANDHI JAYANTI

Gandhi Jayanti is an event celebrated in India to mark the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. It is celebrated annually on 2 October, and is one of the three national holidays of India. The UN General Assembly announced on 15 June 2007 that it adopted a resolution which declared that 2 October will be celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence as he was a non-violent freedom fighter. He is also known as the “Father of The Nation” and this title was given to him by Subhas Chandra Bose for his relentless struggles for independence.

Having visited his shrine in August this brings the whole day into focus.

We live in a very Blessed world 🌎.

🙏
