Christchurch NZ

 Spring in New Zealand

Travel #4

 So much rain!

Full moon... too cloudy to see...

The waterfalls on the ride to Milford Sound were incredible due to all the rain.

 Unfortunately,  our boat trip was canceled, but the drive more than made up for it.

Travel #3

 Making new friends.

Travel #2

 Maybe a little confusion as I navigate? The city is so big. So many people. Unfamiliar surroundings. 

I wonder how a city gal would feel in my home environment.  Owls, raccoons and coyotes are my night time sounds. Not alot of traffic on my road. 

Travel #1

 My trip officially began yesterday with a flight to LA. I do enjoy keeping a travel journal and started this one a few weeks ago by creating "blanks" to work on each day. The landscape flying into LAX looked so brown and drab. This piece sums up what I saw from the sky. 

Startings

 I need a "quick" stitching project to work on while on my upcoming trip. A friend suggested a nativity scene.  Perfect! As I don't want the extra weight of carrying along the shards, a basic outline of the shapes will work

A background of lace is pinned in place. Hope to have it basted and remove the pins

I am working on top of some wool that I found in a bag of fabric a friend sent my way. It's very sturdy yet easy to stitch thru.

Quilt show

 This piece caught my eye. It was probably the fabric!
