Patchwork 20 Feb 09

With the fires contained and the smoke lifted, our town seems to be coming alive again. Thank God and the CFA, SES, Police, Red Cross, DSE and Helpers that we have a town to come alive. Our hearts are heavy for those who lost family, friends, homes, pets, stock, treasures, identities, businesses and livelihoods, things from their past and their present, their town that was the centre of their community. Our thoughts and prayers go with them. We will support them as much as possible.

We have had to try and get back to normal ourselves, although the spotter plane still patrols and fire fighting vehicles are still around town. But friends are meeting at the coffee shops, and the tension has eased. Cars fill the streets again, and some tourists are venturing around.

It was back to the needles and thread at the Patchwork Group on Friday.

Kerry has all but finished her baby quilt for the new arrival in her family. It is in lovely soft pinks and neutrals.


With a beautiful sweet surprise at the top.

Anne was beautifully embroidering grub roses onto a handtowel.
