Well I'm here in Taranaki staying with Michelle from http://michellespatch.blogspot.com/
And we've been doing lots of shopping...
First off we bought some mittens to keep my paws warm! And then headed off to the LQS, 'Cinnamon Lodge'
This is the fabulous Claire who owns the shop, I got lots of snuggles and got to see a lot of great quilts too! The quilt I am sitting on has six blocks that are weaved from bias strips (sorry the photo doesn't show it very well) to form different patterns. The one behind us with the Matryoshka dolls was so pretty.
There were lot's of little nooks and crannies to explore
And I made some new friends
And just look at this beauty
There's such a lot of work gone into this quilt, it's going to look stunning when it finished!
Unfortunately I cant share what I bought here yet, as it is for my next host!
We have plans to do a little sightseeing as soon as the rain stops, so make sure you check back here soon.
Hugs
Bear Bear
I see you have a lot of fun with your host. I hope you don't get to tired because I am you last host. And hope to have fun with you to.
