Colder mornings!

Winter
Winter is approaching fast. We had a picnic on the beach last night at 5.30pm with friends but could not stay longer than an hour as it got too cold!
I can't believe the term is nearly finished and holidays are only one week away! To celebrate I have started a new project. It is a wall hanging and based on Hazel Foot's lovely tapa cloth quilt which was featured in the NZ Quilter a while back. She also won best in show at Calico Christmas a couple of years ago too. I got a few books from the library showing tapa cloths from all the Pacific Islands and drew up some designs and also copied some of Hazel's as she must have researched too and found the same tapa cloth patterns.
I have been working on this each night after school and can't wait to finish and put it all together! (I must finish some UFO's in the holidays!)
