People say that New Zealand is a very small place. They don't just mean the size of the land mass, but the fact that everyone seems to know everyone else. We didn't all marry our cousins, but the "six degrees of separation" rule is more like three or four degrees of separation here. We can usually find a connection in common with fellow New Zealanders.
I'm off to teach some classes in Tauranga this weekend and I'll be interested to see how many connections are made over the weekend.
I'm taking My Small World quilt along with me because it's a good illustration of both wool felt applique and hand quilting. I did enjoy making his quilt. There are so many different elements within it. Maybe I should make a 2024 version next year.
My Small World is designed by Jen Kingwell and is available from Amitie Textiles here.
Now it's time for the Peacock Party. Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.
