Well the first quilt went to a new good home last night. It looked lovely in its new surroundings. I am happy and the new owner is happy and the baby approved. This is a picture of me holding on for one last time. We are on our way Hurray for Melisa!!!

It's a great day, so what ever you gotta do, you gotta great day to do it in,it's true

What a great today has been so far and it is only mid day. I heard from Alexandra which is always good. I had a great meeting with a learning support teacher yesterday and I just finished my Turkish lesson. Life is good. I have a manager now who is helping me organize myself and who will organize the auction for me. We think two weeks. She has devised a great plan which means all I have to do is think about getting finished.

I put the binding on the quilt I want to call Mermaid Dreams, and I have to say it looks really different. Good but different. I need batteries for my camera but the pictures will be here later today.
It is hot here and we are loving it.

Best

I have been blessed with great friends. Two in particular I would like to thank for their kindness and generosity. Sharon and Selma. I don't want to embarrass them but they have really encouraged me and have called their friends to help too. Many people have seen some of what I have done so far and I am encouraged by their responses.

I am really encouraged that I can focus on the quilting project alone now. A funny thing just happened. Turkey is playing Switzerland as I type. Andy called from the other room 'did you hear that gunfire'. I ran into the living room and said 'do you think someone is shooting someone'> Should we dim the lights'. He said 'go back into the computer room hit refresh and check the score'.' he said it is celebration I bet you. Sure enough Turkey had scored, What a scare!! More gun shots a few seconds later, he said they must have won!!! We hit refresh Turkey had won!

I will post some more pictures once I return from London on Sunday.

Let me just say here though that whatever happens with this project. I have learned a fair few things. Best of all I learned that God blesses good ideas and works out even the tiniest of details. Ana knows what I mean. I understand completely why the Bible says it is better to give than to receive indeed it really is.

I have finished one quilt today except for the label. I have to name it but it is lovely I may very well name it "I recognise that". It the one with Cameron's shirt in it. I took a few of them along to Isaiah's school today and I felt the day was a success. My hands are still a bit sore and I am tired but it is a good feeling. I have to dig out the pinks now of which I think I have a fair amount,,, Thank you Caroline!! Oh and guess what speaking of Caroline. Keeko Krumbs is going to a new home. I love that quilt but it was only ever going to remain in my closet. It is good that it should go to a good home and for a good cause. I feel a renewed energy. I am grateful to all of you who keep me accountable with your support. I am learning a lot too. God is a god of great things and small things. He cares very much about the details. For me this year is like 1997 and that is saying something.

I will get more pictures up for you to see. Thank you for dropping by.

Sending you peace and love

Troye
