Linda Mills - Mount Maunganui, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
Assembled Solo after mixing all the bags of pieces together. Taking one year to
complete.
My name is Linda Mills. I purchased the puzzle December 2007 and completed it in January 2009.
My husband and sons said it wasn't a 24,000 piece puzzle unless I muddled all of the pieces up - which they very kindly did for me! I only worked on it every second weekend as I made it up on the floor in one of the rooms at our property at Glenbrook, New Zealand. I live and work at Mt Maunganui, New Zealand.
It was a great puzzle to do - the pieces fitted nicely and colours were distinctive. Everyone asks me if I will frame it but I would quite like to do it again. I have previously done many large puzzles up to 18,000 pieces but completed them in sections - mainly for space reasons. Now I am doing a 9,000 piece puzzle - mixed up.
Linda
