    last October I taught the ladies at patchwork group how to do Quilt As You Go using scraps which can be used in a linear fashion or "crazy".   I made a table runner with my 3 linear blocks and that left a random crazy and no idea what to do with it.

    So I made a handbag!



    Then lockdown came and a long wet winter so I haven't used it yet.  It can be my new summer handbag.

    Huh so much for catching up on the plots.  I let myself be distracted by "a couple of quick jobs in the garden " then it was lunchtime, now it's raining, not forecast at all.  Trivial compared to others woes .

    Sorry I should have written 'Hostafan'. I'm appalled you've not been offered any help so far, how do they expect you to cope? That is so tough for you. Any help online at all?

    Great news, what a relief @Yviestevie.

    I spent over 2 hours weeding the vegetable garden this afternoon. It was lovely and warm outside. Some lettuces have been harvested, hence gaps. My new clematis, Rouge Cardinal, has produced its first flower.
