Colours and Places

Been working on my Whirly Gigs and HST 's for my R&A Swap - not tooo sure about the tulip fabric - just a smidgen of green shows up - is this against the R&A rules of etiquette? Love love my red egg fabric - got lots of this - makes me happy!

One more block for Joseph's Coat Quilt-along - not my best placement or sewing or maybe even fabric selection???

Hubbie & I were lucky enough to have 4 days in Wellington, NZ a little while ago. Very picturesque city with very friendly people!!

From the Botanical gardens, the views are delicious!!

Some of the great Welly architecture

A Fruit and Veg market in the city - my heart lept at the crate loads of feijoas - YUM! and the very very cheap tomatoes on vines (only the best)

We stayed at the fun and quirky Museum Hotel - Hippo cracks me up!

We hired a car on Saturday and drove about an hour north-east to Greytown, Martinborough and Carterton.

This shop was a collector's dream - I only had about 5 mins though, as they were closing!  I ran around like a mad woman, saying to hubbie - look, look, at this and this!!!

I was drooling over this most beautiful display cabinet - Antique French mahogany - couldn't you just see your fabric stash in those spaces, though at $7000, well, no.

If you look closely you can see the amazingly fragile mountain road safety barrier - do they seriously think sticks of wood tied together with wire will hold back a plunging vehicle??????

The pretty pretty lights along Oriental Bay, Wellington
