Bushfires

Just a quick post to let you all know that we are safe here in our little town from the devastating fires that have swept through our state. We had a small fire on Saturday and with a huge effort by the CFA they managed to get it under control. With such strong winds and temps of 47 degrees celcius it was a bit scary. Our hearts go out to all the people who have lost family, friends and everything they own to this disaster.

    Have started your Midsummer Garden as a sample for the shop, while I am resting after a short stay in hospital. It will be a great opportunity to get some stitching done. Del QH
