A girly day out.

Yesterday Debs and I headed out for the day. We visited three different quilty stores.

First stop was Annies Country Quilts in Ashburton. I have visited several times but this was a first for Debbie. I picked up a few bits and pieces, well most of what you see here in this photo. Debbies pile was much larger! 

After that we went on to the Bernina center also in Ashburton. That was a first for both of us. It is also where I found the red quilt hanger in the photo.

The last stop was a chance find.

Material Time used to be in a building we would not have seen, but is currently in a temporary home and we spotted it just by chance and had to stop and call in.

They had a great selection of fabrics and we will be making a return visit. 

It was a lovely day out, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Work in the garden continues. Tony and his dad have managed to pull out a good sized tree stump.  

The front garden is slowly clearing.

I have a pinched nerve in my back, which is preventing me from doing the things I want to do, like sewing! But I am enjoying the rest and doing a lot of reading.
