AFRICAN PATTERNS

Okay last few days been doing some of Donna and Bryans African Quilt that they asked me to make ??><<?? years ago but looking more likely that it will be finished sooner rather than later. Here is a little peek at a couple of the panels - don't want to give too much away!!
Just to give idea of what will look like when put panels together.

Wacky colours!!! Hope they like it!

 So there it is.
On the home front, got lovely email from lady we are buying house from in Devon. Surveyor going to do his stuff at her house on Monday so will see what he has to say - hopefully not that it is riddled with damp/dry rot etc. Otherwise waiting on money to come through from Uk so that we can put deposit on the flat here in Nairobi. Fortunately for us the exchange rate has gone up from Ksh150 to Ksh162 to the pound which is great for us at the moment as we are bringing money into the country but bloody awful if it stays that high when we want to send money over to Uk from sale of house. Until last 6/7 months the rate had been around Ksh120 for ages. However with election coming up next year all MPs etc bringing in all their ill gotten gains to pay for it so pushing exchange rate up - as well of course as horrible world markets - not that I understand how it all works obviously just know while there is a mess out there we are in trouble and look like losing a ton of money!!!!!
