Playmats done

The playmats and accessories for our two grandsons are finished and it is quite amazing what a border or two can do to a project.

The play pieces and dice.  I made the same for both boys.

After embroidering nearly non-stop Saturday and Monday, all the blocks were done and I assembled the playmat in the evenings after my day job was done.

This one also needs a border which I will do when the shops are allowed to open again.

I used the green glitter foam for the Go block

The design is from Stitchdelight and can be found here or here for South African buyers.

Between all the other projects I am working on, this playmat is also coming along nicely with about 2/3rd of the blocks done.

For the Stop sign, I wanted to use some kind of reflective material to mimic an actual road sign and remembered these glitter foam sheets I bought a few year back.

With our Lockdown extended with another 14 days until the end of April, finishing any projects will have to wait as non essential products such as fabric stores are not permitted to be open.  And with the virus still running amok all over the world, we don't even know when we will be able to visit our kids.

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.

This was about 50 blocks done with 10 more to go.

And this is the assembled playmat of 0.5m x 1m.  

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.
