Teal Table Scrap Topper!

I saw Joy had put up the link this morning and here I was with no completed runner to post about! Well, good thing I had a couple of hours before picking up the kids. I was able to find a batting and backing and play with the walking foot for some quilting. Some cut off backing sides from trimming another quilt  worked into a perfect binding for this. 


A little hand stitching of the binding down to the back - isn't it cute with the little colorful bugs and butterflies? 
 

This will be my placemat tonight for corned beef, cabbage, potato, onion and carrots with some Irish Soda Bread. The crock pot has been busy working on it all day long.


The second kid got called to the quarantine room this week - Day 12 but was sent back to class as he is vaccinated and they have his card on file. Seems like Em also has another exposure as a friend she sits by in 2 classes and lunch has been out all week. She had texted another friend indicating she was a positive. Both kids are fine, thank goodness. As long as they are symptom free and vaccinated they can stay in school.

That is really pretty, Deb! I love the colors in it, and perfect backing and binding, too. It's fun to have a quick finish! I'm so glad your kids are vaccinated - what a worrisome time!

Praying for both of your kids to stay symptom free! What a rough start to the year, but hopefully we are near the peak and things will start to improve soon.

Blessed be that your children are safe and well. The table mat turned well. More delicious bright colours.

What a great result for last minute work - even the binding. Lovely. Jane
