Quilting Geocoins

These are geocoins with a quilting theme - a Geocaching thing, but I thought they might be of

some interest to quilters too.

They are enamel coins that have some writing on the back with the block, the GPS coords of the

barn with the block painted on it I believe. I'll try and add the photo of the back of a coin to the page here. I have bought a few of these coins for my budding geocoin collection, and they are very lovely.

The producers of these coins, Tank and Tracey from www.tntgeocoins.com are going through some hard times at the moment. Tank has had a stroke and Tracey is nursing him at home.

Another geocoin company www.socalgeocoins.com are selling a geocoin as a fundraiser for Tank

- as a nurse I can imagine the difficulties Tracey will be experiencing. I've just bought one of the

coins, and I hope they raise some money.




Otherwise, not much quilting news from me. The hexagon quilt is coming along, but I don't have it with me to take a photo. I'll be going back to Mum's for a few more days this week, so I've left it there.
Hopefully I'll be back to my "regular programming" soon, and I'll also be able to get back around my regular blog reads. I'm quite out of touch with what's happening all around the world. I had a quick look at Holly's blog, and I see that spring is springing over there in the States.

Still Out There

I'm still away from the sewing machine - I've been staying at Mum and Dad's while having some medical stuff done. I went home for the weekend to visit the beagles, who are alive and well too... Chloe has put on a spare tyre, but Simon looks fine.
The hexagons are nearly finished, but not quite. If it wasn't so awkward to take it anywhere I'd have it finished I think, but it is a big nuisance to take anywhere. I'll be home soon so will be able to get back to work.
