New Zealand with Gail Lawther

Well after morning strolls on the beautiful South Beach, breakfast and coffee and homemade biscuits the day began with a display of yesterdays quilts.

and we even managed to get a pic of Gail too!  ...she has done so well to avoid the camera so far! - lol!

As you can see Gail had another fantastic display of quilts on the table again today, all inspired by her travels to New Zealand.

Our choices today were either a Seascape or Maouri Curves.


Here are the ladies from Scarborough Sewing Centre - having a lovely time playing with fabric.

Here is Barbara from Bridlington Sewing Centre enjoying a well deserved break from the shop.

Barbara Pickering brought her finished New York Beauty which we started in the retreat with Dawn Cameron-Dick.  Wow, she has done really well, its a stunning quilt.
