Spring

It is amazing the changes in the garden in just the 10 days I was away.
the wisteria has started to flower and smells wonderful

this tree has beautiful blossom

this tree was bare 10 days ago, now the blossom is finishing and the leaves have grown

the oak tree has new leaves

the fig tree is active

Mmmmmm...not so sure the Chowchow is though!!

the plum tree has blossom and leaves

the bottle brush looks amazing

as does the grevillia

I did venture into one quilt shop in NZ and came out with these

and this

this and

this, how good are the dinosaurs? I am told this is a different kind of printing and the colours will never fade. Love the colours in this piece. 
I have decided to try and sort one box a month, (taking it really slow here!!) of the boxes that have not been unpacked after moving house. As the football is on tonight it is a good opportunity to look at a box!
So off to sort I go.
Happy sewing.
