Quilt Exhibition

At 9 a.m. Harold arrived with the first load of firewood for my new woodshed.  We unloaded and stacked it.  Doug then arrived (perfect timing) and did some work on the add-on to the wood shed for my wheelbarrow.



This afternoon we went with my former flatmate to the Quilt Exhibition - it was wonderful and I met up with fellow blogger Raewyn from Raewyn's 365 days.

We then went to the Town Basin with the intention of walking along to the Wave and Waka but ended up just having an icecream and coming home.  We will do the walk another day.

Just a few of the wonderful quilts.

    I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to quilts. The penultimate one, with the rings, is more my style.

      I am sure that would look good in your cottage.

    Wonderful quilts. I am in awe of people who create these works of art, they display such skill and so many techniques. They are beautiful.

      That was my favourite apart from the one higher up with the dragonfly but that was a smaller wall hanging.

    Dry firewood is wonderful, and the quilts, I do like the last one so much. Cheers, jean.

      Yes, as I said above that was my favourite. Firewood - yes, wonderful. I love wood fires.

      Hope things are better down there and Hugh is on the mend.

      As you know, there is just so much to see here in Whangarei. They were awesome. With winter not far away the firewood is great.

    Love the 3rd one down. Really like your new wood shed Susan, can you believe we are still burning wood (lots of it) with the Winter that still won't quit here? Did you remember to dry & burn your potato peels?

      There were so many and they were all fabulous. Not had any fires yet to burn the potato peels. Won't be long now as it is starting to be a bit cooler in the mornings.

    I couldn't remember what name I had put or whether I had a photo of myself although I seem to remember I did post one on my recent birthday.

    Gorgeous quilts. I love seeing other people's creativity, but would never have the patience or skill to make one myself.
