Hopes Dashed.

This afternoon at 2.35 pm hopes of rescuing the 29 trapped miners in the Pike River Coal Mine were dashed when a 2nd large explosion occured. It is thought that nobody could have survived this 2nd explosion.

So sad, Ali - our prayers and thoughts are across the Tasman tonight.

May perpetual light shine upon them and may they rest in peace. Our love goes out to all the families xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Ali, thanks for that. I am trying to contact all the quilting groups in NZ but there's no centralised info so it's a big task. There are quite a few children left fatherless (one family has 5) and I'd like to see all of them get quilts, so if you can encourage your group to make multiple blocks, that'd be wonderful.

They are in our thoughts. An awful end to such a tragedy.
