Diane sends us this quilty note from Whakatane on the North Island of New Zealand, where she is presumably soaking up some sunshine. For Vancouverites currently dealing with the grey skies and rainy deluges of this fall season, yes, there is still sunlight somewhere.
“Whakatane Quilt Shop – Pins to Patches
“I was so excited to see this store on our walk late Saturday night. On Sunday morning we went there and of course being a small town it was closed on Sundays. Looked in the window and saw the price for name brand material and figured it was just as well it was closed.”

The sign inside the shop said 30 dollars a metre. CAD is on par with NZD right now so no quilt shopping.
