My eldest Miss M has been accepted to go on a World Challenge trip to Namibia for 4 weeks next September. They have to undertake a physical challenge (a hiking trek) and a community aid challenge – an aid project in a Namibian community. As part of the leadup programme they have to plan, organise and fund raise for every element of the trip. So we have a BIG year ahead of us to raise approx $6000 towards the trip.

She has set up her own blog (well with my help) – it would be lovely if you could go and give her some encouragement at www.missmchallenge.blogspot.com –she will be so excited to get her first comment! We have lots of things planned together, including a quilt pattern range – she made her first quilt for it on Sunday, will show you after it gets back from the quilter.

So our first fun(d) raising venture is a 12 hour mystery marathon quilt in here in Tassie, but never fear, you can all join in across the world, wherever you may be, hopefully we’ll get lots of friends doing what they love, quilting, and helping Molly towards her goal of helping others also…I am very proud of what she wants to do, now just to get her there. This information will also be on the Mystery Marathon page link on the left of the blog.

Hope many of you can join us here for a great fun day, or if not in cyberspace…..

hugs, Helen
