I am sure that after reading about all of the ugly jobs Bob has been doing you are wondering what I have been doing. The answer is lots of little things that are not as horrible to do but necessary. We are 80% provisioned, our hull is sparkly clean and our stainless could blind you.
But today I got to go quilting. There is a new quilt store in Whangarei just across the river from us. For $5 you can bring your machine and sew all day and “talk shop”. So tempting, but my machine is the wrong voltage so how can I do this? Enter Janette, friend from Riddlesden.
Janette offered me the use of her sewing machine. Lovely idea. But I came up with a better idea…what if I just come quilt at your house, Janette, and enjoy your company! And so the plan was set…I spent the day at Ridelesden (one of my favorite places in Whangarei) with the wonderful company of Janette and Margaret and made a quilt for a new baby in Fiji. I am smiling!

Margaret and Janette display the finished product!
