Starting at back left: " Landscape in Contemporary Quilts, " by Ineke Berlyn; a new roll of Appli-Kay Wonder ( fusible Webbing ); "Glimpses of New Zealand," by Gail Lawther ( UK visitor ); a whole pile of die-cut iron on shapes from Susan Claire ( these are great for adding to labels ) and the shape for a fabric gift box which folds up ; a little kit for a coffeee heat mat ( I've already made that up on Sunday for in a gift; my free gift from Minerva books( some lovely cards featuring NZ quits ); a FQ with Avocados - new( as a grower I had to have that! ); a bundle of 8 Blue Christmas FQs; and 5 other FQs. ( to make cushions for on our 2 new black leather couches.) --------------------------------------------------
This photo is for Pam and Deb and Sally and Meg and anyone else who knows Tauranga. This is the new ( and second ) harbour bridge now open but being used for traffic both ways till Christmas time. The older bridge is being upgraded and then in the New Year one bridge will be for each way. This new one has a neat wave pattern in the concrete edges, a cycle and walking lane.( it is right beside the other bridge )As well as the bridge there is a long fly over off the bridge, ending down on route P which will make traffic flow so much easier. It has changed the whole appearance of this area of the city.
