OLD QUILT, SEWING MACHINES, DOLPHINS, AND MAORI GREETINGS
New Zealand has a quilt history too. At a museum on the way to the Bay of Islands we came across this display.
And of course this item which some of my quilt friends use regularly even today.
Our trip has included some fun events. We spent some time watching dolphins in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
And of course my traditional Maori greeting.
We did a traditional war canoe across the Bay of Islands up a river to their traditional meeting place and a water fall. Important to get involved with the traditions of another country.
