Mid Month Stitching Update and a Few Other Bits and Bobs

I have been doing a little bit of stitching this last week.

My pineapple block in dark blue has been completed for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

Block 25 of Blockheads 3.  This one is 8 inches.

Block 26 of Blockheads 3.  This one is 6 inches.

I have made my first twelve blocks for Trail Mix.  I have been cutting lots of strips ready for some more blocks, but really should do some other things first.  I won't stitch them together yet, rather I will wait until I get a better mix of fabrics.

No photo, but my stitchery for my Tea Time Table Runner is completed.  Now I just have to work out how I will make it into a runner.

Despite our delay due to exploring Farm Art around the Blayney Shire on Friday, we did make the next batch of Tomato Relish on Saturday.  There has also been baking each week, just no photos.  Mick even made Anzac biscuits himself yesterday.

Finally, I have to share the yummy breakfast we enjoyed on Friday.  There is no need to go to cafes when you can have something tasty and not get out of your jarmies.

Now, just for my record, an update on Covid-19.

On 10 July Queensland opened their border to NSW, but aren't allowing Victorians in unless they could prove they had been in NSW for two weeks.

The outbreak of cases in Melbourne has caused all of Melbourne and a neighbouring shire to be in total lock down again and the border between NSW and Victoria has been closed for the first time since the Spanish Flu back in 1919.  They are getting over 200 new cases each day and there have been some deaths, mainly linked to an aged care facility.

There has now been an outbreak linked to a hotel in Sydney, which has triggered tightening of restrictions for hotels.  There can be no more than 10 in a group (reduced from 20) and regardless of how large a facility is, there are to be no more than 300 people on site.  Apparently, the hotel that has been linked to the outbreak had 600 patrons one night last week.

It has certainly been a wake up call to us all.  We cannot be complacent, regardless of where we are, as people are travelling and you don't know where they have come from and who they have been in contact with.  Let's just hope that the new restrictions can once again bring this thing under control in Australia.
