Hi Linda, nice to see you on here again, thanks for commenting. Love Chris

Thanks Lidia, love all of them. Love Chris

Thanks so much Anagha, I appreciate your comments. Love Chris

Thank you for your lovely comments and I hear ya! Love Chris

Thanks, the 6th row will actually be the last row as I want the 4 darker ones in each corner. Love Chris

Thanks Mechille, they are a labour of love aren't they? Love Chris

Yes, Sarah, I think Australia and South Africa have similar climates especially along the east coast of Aus. Love Chris

Thanks Anita, this is for our 8th grandchild. I'm hoping Naomi will tell some stories about the little woodland creatures as Cohen ages. Love Chris

Thanks Maria, me too! Love Chris

Thanks so much Michelle. Can't wait to get it finished. Love Chris

Thanks so much, I'm hoping this will be the case. Love Chris

Thanks Kim, I appreciate that. Love Chris

Thanks Grace, he's a real little cutie, isn't he? Love Chris

Thanks so much Sharon, I think once it's all put together it will look great. Love Chris

Thanks Carolyn, I just need some more designs and it will be finished by the end of the week. Then all I have to do is put some borders of fabrics around the outside to finish it off. Love Chris

Hi Laura, I'm hoping I only need 3 more to finish it off. It depends on how long I've got to have it as a finished single bed quilt. Of course, I can always just add more borders! Love Chris

Thanks Penny for noticing. I'm a real perfectionist (anal my friends call it!!!) when it comes to Applique, and it has to be correctly hooped first off and then I have an excellent pair of curved Canary scissors which allow me to get in real close to the stitching! AND I only use cotton fabrics! Love Chris

Thanks so much, love Chris

Thanks Theresa, I know it will be appreciated. Love Chris

Thanks so much Chris, love Chris

Thanks Angie, Naomi asked me to make one with American Woodland Critters. I've tried to have some fun with different colours, otherwise they would have all been in the brown,black,grey colourings. Love Chris

Thanks so much Mary. I hope so. Love Chris

Thanks so much Sonja, love Chris

Lucy, thanks so very much, love Chris

Thanks Shirley, I hope so. Love Chris

Hi Barbara, yes, I know what you mean and you would have high humidity too - we haven't got it here yet, and I'm dreading it!!!!!! Thanks for commenting, love Chris

Hi Lee, I'm from sunny New South Wales, in Australia.

There a few of us Aussies who are experiencing unusual weather due to the El Nino effect. Love Chris

"What is El Niño and what might it mean for Australia?

Australia's weather is influenced by many climate drivers. El Niño and La Niña have perhaps the strongest influence on year-to-year climate variability in Australia. They are a part of a natural cycle known as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and are associated with a sustained period (many months) of warming (El Niño) or cooling (La Niña) in the central and eastern tropical Pacific. The ENSO cycle loosely operates over timescales from one to eight years.

Potential effects of El Niño on Australia include:

Reduced rainfall
Warmer temperatures
Shift in temperature extremes
Increased frost risk
Reduced tropical cyclone numbers
Later monsoon onset
Increased fire danger in southeast Australia
Decreased alpine snow depths" -

This information was taken from our Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology off the internet!!!!

Thanks for all the superlatives! Love Chris

Thanks so much Fatima, they are all lovely designs. I've enjoyed doing this one immensely. Love Chris

I see it now spectacular!!

Thanks Martine, I do hope so. Love Chris

Thanks Loralye, love Chris

Thanks so much Lynn. I do hope he likes it when he's older. Love Chris

Grazie, Roberta. I hope he gets lots of use from it. Love Chris

Hi 'sailorgal' - most of these designs are from SWAK and a few from Cute. Thanks for the comment. You might have to keep the set until your Lulu has children one day! Love Chris

P.S. A big Aussie welcome from me.

Thanks Shisha, I sure hope so. Love Chris

Thanks Kerry, I'm going to try and cut up the borders, maybe tomorrow or Sunday. We're off to see Neil Diamond tomorrow evening, but I've got to see Mum in the morning and drop off some stuff for her. She broke her wrist yesterday and we've been in and out of doctors and having x-rays all day! Love Chris
