She hasn't blogged since Christmas. How are people doing with the fire situation? I hope you were not affected yourself.<br /><br />Yes, NZ is beautiful, a land of great contrast, sweeping views and marvellous scenery.

And it is so important to label your work, for your own sake and for the benefit of posterity! How often do we come across something handed down in our family only to find there is no history attached - nothing to tell about where it came from and why. <br /><br />If you get the chance (and can hack the incredibly long journey!) do go. It's a beautiful place - and we have only so far seen the middle-top of North Island - still lots to explore!

Dylan's quilt is fabulous and I love the little note you've added to it, documenting it's history. Just fantastic.<br /><br />My younger sister and older brother both live in NZ and I always like looking at photos of that beautiful country - they are so blessed to be there. Maybe one day I can plan a trip over there too. :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-66026375098045571762013-02-18T21:10:14.205+00:002013-02-18T21:10:14.205+00:00It must have been a lovely stay Down Under !

Loved seeing the shops over in NZ and all you showed. What a joy and a treasure Dylan's quilt is and how wonderful you could do the upkeep on it. This happens with me when I go to my family in Germany or Brighton. One quilt I made is now almost 20 years old already, made whilst DD2 was in uni and now I've made them for the children!<br />Had a great day at Stitches trade show at the NEC yesterday and whilst there is usually only trade orders allowed there were a couple of stands selling and I bought so much "die for" fabric and I don't feel one bit guilty about spending so much as it will make treasures.<br />Your NO2 hat is superbly made and will be quite a hit when you wear it.<br />Oh, you would have loved the stands y'day selling nothing but felt or rovings/tops/fleeces etc. Joy!<br />love Jo xJoZart Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197690337080094062noreply@blogger.com
