Stained Glass Wall Hangings - 5
I've been embroidering this one as well as the Stained Glass Seahorse in between the playmats I am also working on. Having been housebound as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown does keep one committed to finishing projects. I still need to add the satin border, but as all shops that do not sell essentials are closed for 21 days, this will have to wait. I might find a piece in my stash though.

Playmat
I am currently busy embroidering playmats for our two grandsons. We hope to see them during the latter half of the year, all depending though on this corona virus.
With both consisting of about 60 blocks, I've got my work cut out for me 😀 but it is rather rewarding when all the blocks are finally stitched together.
Nathan's playmat is the traditional Snakes and Ladders. The design is from Dainty Stitches and can be found here.
I still have to add a border as well as quilting it. It also comes with a dice, buttons and a set of rules which I still need to finish.

This was about 50 blocks done with 10 more to go. |
And this is the assembled playmat of 0.5m x 1m.

Birthday presents
This year I am making sewing pouches for all the quilting friends for birthday presents. The whole bag is stitched in the hoop on the embroidery machine.
The design is from Smartneedle and can be found here.
