Lily's Tree Coasters

I have had a lot of sewing to do this week but it's all for gifts so I can't show those yet.

Lily has been off school for a few days as they won't let her go because she has conjunctivitis. It's been quite hectic. Going to see Alan in hospital which is a 220 mile round trip and trying to keep Lily occupied. Poor thing her eye is really sore and doesn't seem to be improving even with antibiotic drops.

Yesterday she asked me if I would show her how to use the sewing machine. Of course I was up for that. She made these two Christmas Coasters.

 Hard at work
 One done
Two finished
She really enjoyed making them and was very happy with how they turned out.
I was quite impressed with how quickly she picked it up.
A little Quilter in the making I think.

Have a great weekend
