Tommy's quilt


My second attempt at a French Braid quilt finished and delivered!! Was really happy with the colours on this one.

Taupo


How is this for a view - shame about the spots on the camera lens - was hot in the car and cold when we got out so I guess that's what caused it. I have been to Taupo several times and it isn't often that you get to look down the lake at the mountains in all their glory!

Kerikeri




Kerikeri
I had a wander around here - the old buildings are beautiful - the church up on the hill tiny but has the best stain glass windows and while I was there a man was playing the church organ - made it very atmospheric!!

Rainbow Warrior memorial


Made it to Matauri Bay, Northland, NZ in the holidays - what a beautiful place. I walked up the hill and found the memorial to the Rainbow Warrior - sat and looked over the ocean - beautiful, calm, warm and wonderful!

French braid quilt


Quilt is finally on the bed - is a little small but sits ok on the top.

Train quilt


The train quilt is finished and gone to it's new home! The applique of the tracks took a long time but the end result shows it was worth all the effort! I am very happy with the finished quilt!

Crafting weekend



We had a great sewing weekend at St Leonards, bit cold and we didn't get to the beach but we got lots of sewing done - I have nearly finished the kiwi quilt, am very happy with how it has turned out. Just have to sew a black border all around and then it is off for quilting.
