Auckland. The Stash.

 We didn't have a great deal of time for shopping during our visit to Auckland.

But I did insist on a visit to Cushla's Village Fabrics while we were there.

 I spent quite a bit of time browsing the store and talking with the ladies. 

My hubby even joined in and asked a few sewing machine related questions!

After much deliberation and contemplation, I came away with two small kits.

I couldn't resist this table runner. The colours are soooo much better in real life.

 I think I need to play about with the camera settings, as the colours on the front of this bag kit are somewhat awry too!

So I really was well behaved wasn't I?

After our flight into Christchurch we had a 2 hour drive to Timaru.

What better place for a rest break than Ashburton?

Annies Country crafts is very, very close to a car sales yard.

Something for me, and something for him.

We were both amazed to discover that I had finished first and once again had restrained myself coming away with another small package.

Two patterns

Another kit

And a very pretty end of bolt!

There is just over a skinny quarter.

There have been extra shifts at work and all manner of other things going on here, but I did manage to get some time quilting my SSCS gift, I also spent a little time unquilting some of it too!

Never mind, I'm happy with it now and it is waiting for it's binding.

Then, onto the next secret project!
