Today was my first morning back at work at the charity shop.......the alarm made me jump as it was still dark lol.........anyway, nice to chat to everyone again. I am pleased to say, I do believe this virus is going, yesterday, at the sewing club, as a discussion was going on, I did have to go out with a coughing fit.
Here is the table runner I did as a couple of presents and also one for myself--------in fact I made 5.
It is very difficult to get good pictures as I have a large bay window that throws in the light and no matter where I stand, it does not give a true picture. I have tried to take it on the bed, on the settee and in the shed, in real life the border edges are cream with red candy canes
the back is a lovely rich red, so it can be used either side.
Before Christmas there was a sale at the shop, 3 jigsaws for £1.00 and I bought 6. the first one will last until summer I think,
it's done like an oil painting and all blues and dark colours..... so difficult to see shapes, it has taken a week to get this far!! I will get there in the end!
I hope you are keeping warm and busy, thank you for your visit
Hugs Tilly x

Thanks so much for calling in on me yesterday.
I love your table runners Tilly. I'm looking forward to doing more patchwork when we get my new sewing room set up but may have months to wait for that so am feeling rather frustrated at the mo.

Poor You. I don't know anyone who hasn't had this nasty cough/cold/flu thing including me.
Lovely runner there. I do like a bit of patchwork and started piecing my quilt on Boxing Day. Need to start putting the borders on now. I enrolled on an online quilting workshop too as I am not very confident machine quilting.
Wish me luck.
Hugs
