Normal service will resume shortly

After 2 hectic days and nearly 9 hours of travelling, I'm now in Invercargill, trying to get used to a space that's about 1/3 the size of my Rangiora home.  The climate is fresh here, with cool winds and rain featuring more often than Canterbury but at least I will be spared the mid-30s temperatures that I find so trying. 

 Here's a couple of Pike River quilts that arrived before I left.  The purple one was made by Jean McKinstry, an old friend from Lake Tarawera.
 And this is another heart quilt kindly compiled and quilted by Kiwiquilter Jan Main.
