Well I have not been online much for the last 2 weeks as I have had my sister and her kid here from the UK. Our mum has not been to well so she came over for a visit. Here is a pic of them at the zoo.

OOOOPPPPSSSSS wrong photo sorry.

I went fishing over the Easter weekend with my hubby and stepson.

Guess who got the big fish 'ME'

My stepson only got the tiny ones but he don't mind that I got the big one.

But he did say he will get some stick from his mate when he tells him that his stepmother got a bigger fish than him.

This mullet will go for bait so hope-fully stepson will be able to get the big one later.

Here is my house arriving in its new home, it has been there since Dec. 2005.

Somewhere under there is a wheel base so it can be moved if needed to be.

Lots have been added on to the outside like a deck and carport roof, plus lots of flower pots and plants have been added.

No the caravan next to it is not ours but it is on the site nextdoor to mine.

THE TOTAL COUNT IS 134 QUILT

All the quilts are in now and everyone is overjoyed at the amount that have been made.

The star quilt I donated has been quilted with bats, black thread was used on the front and orange on the back.

It looks great and I am so glad it will find a new home, if it had stayed with me I have no idea when it would have been finished.

This is not the final total

but so far my local quilt shop has collected 91 quilts.

All fabric, thread, batting, and time have been donated by lots of us quilters who live in the local area of Papakura, Auckland.

The cut off day is Saturday 28th March, so by next week we should know the total number of quilts that have been made and on there way to new homes over in Austraila.

See what you can do with a LOT of pins !!!!!

Most the seams are pinned together,so I can see how my BOM is going to look when it is all put together.

I had a little bit of time on my hands so I thought I wouls play with my blocks.

Me thinks this is going to be one very 'bright' quilt whwn it is done.

Well I have managed to finish my BOM part 3, for me the ironing of the blocks took longer than the sewing.

I still need to cut of all the dog ears but that will be done when I sew them all together at the end.

Now just how long do I have till the next part comes out?

Oh well, I have still got Hannah's quilt to keep me going.

The lastest update for the 'Fire quilts for Oz' is now 74 and still counting.
