Down here, the border ban will stop any tourists coming in, but for the 80,000 still overseas, they will have to do Self-isolation for 14 days.There are no exceptions, and for the previous tourists, quarantine and deportation if found not complying after the given date. As an island, we should be safe, but that sneaky bug can wriggle in unseen. Love the stitching on the old quilt, in the days before roller cutters, 1/4 inch feet, needle up or down, and really good lighting. Maybe a candle, a kerosene lamp? I marvel at what my Mum did on her treadle machine, I still have a silk dress made when I was just a baby. Hand stitched on every seam.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.com
