in about 1/2 an hour the blocks fell away from the quilt.
It struck me that the quilt is exiting my life in the very same way it entered. The blocks have little white stitches as a reminder that they were part of something bigger.
There's still a bit to do but I hope to have everything in the mail by 31 March.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the wonderful people who were part of the quilt project.
Yesterday was the hottest day on record in Melbourne.
The girls & I did go out a few times & when we did the smell was overpowering. The big girl looked at me with wide eyes & said "Mum, it smells like Bright" (2003 bushfires). It did.
While I was opening the blinds just enough to take trivial shots of my work in progress. My Suburban sky looked like this...
because much of Victoria was on fire. People have lost their homes, livestock & their lives.
Just as the cool change hit our place, a once beautiful town with a special place in my heart (& not too far from home) was completely engulfed.
