Unfortunately no giraffes were sighted. But every evening at dusk we were treated to a spectacle of hundreds of thousands of fruit bats flying around the main road and roosting in the trees. This is concentrated around a hospital, local legend has it that the bats showed up a number of years ago when a local chief took ill and was brought to the hospital. The bats stood vigil but the chief died and so the bats never left.

Has anyone ever done a D9P in Batik? I have some batik fabric and wanted to see what it would look like to do the D9P. Possibly for a baby Quilt..?
