Progress report and design change

My quilting pupil is progressing well with her blocks.   Well on the way to getting them sewn together.   


Originally she was tatting flowers for the middle of each large white square but has since changed her mind to tatting snowflakes instead.   There are still 15 more to make.  

I am still playing around in the red scrap pile and made this pot holder for the giftie box.  


It is back to hunting and gathering again in the supermarkets as many of the shelves are empty or heading that way with limits being put on a lot of items such a meat, chicken, toilet paper, tissues, paper towels and paracetamol.    There does not appear to be any  RAT kits available looking at the signs in pharmacy windows.    
   

I am going to have a quick lunch then head off and collect Miss M who is going to say with us for a few days.    Hopefully the weather stays fine so we can enjoy the beach, swimming in the pool and scooting around the lake.

Back soon and in the meantime stay safe and

Happy sewing all

It is probably enjoyable to teach someone your talents.

Lovely projects there. I don't understand how RATs can be used when they have a high incidence of inaccuracy. Anything else with that failure rate would not be allowed to be sold. Good luck finding some, I think they are as rare as hens teeth lol. Enjoy time with Miss M. Keep safe.
