I've had such a busy time the last 10 days but it was so much fun. I flew up to stay with Myra, my dear friend for a week. We have so much in common, it's just like a sisterhood.. quilting, op shops, craft work, etc etc. And talk.. wow, we talked and that was so neat... quite a few early mornings - going to bed haha.

| Me and Myra at a Teddy Bears Picnic for her granddaughter. The kids had so much fun. |
 |
| Beautiful cup cakes for a little girls birthday. Too pretty to eat. |
 |
| Myra's amazing shirt quilt - the backing is denim from old skirts and jeans. I have a big bag of shirts to make one now. |
 |
| Here's a few photos of quilts at the Waikato Quilt show. Beautiful work. |

| I love this quilt. The buttons were beautiful.. of course. |
 |
| A lovely Blue quilt. So much work in it. I love the shading.. |
 |
| A lot of hard work and gorgeous colours in this wallhanging. |
 |
| blue and yellow is another great combination |
 |
| I waited for ages to get a photo of this whole quilt but there was a queue so I sneaked in to get a photo of these tui's in a pohutakawa tree. Wow! |
 |
| I know this one was made by Judith Ross and it was at symposium. Its like the Mandala Sands.. Absolutely gorgeous. |
 |
| This is really neat.. Reminds me of apartments on hills in Wellington CBD |
 |
| This quilt was hanging in the Oncology Clinic at Hamilton Hospital. It was made by 3 quilters in memory of 2 friends they'd lost to cancer. I hope you can zoom in and look at all the detail. |

| Here's a couple of close-ups |
This is the group present that Myra, myself and Carol made for our friends Emma and Frank's Golden wedding anniversary. I did the piecing, Myra did the tiny blanket stitching and Carol did most of the quilting. It was a fabulous party for them both.
