On Saturday us city girls left behind suburban streets, smog and traffic congestion for the fresh air and open spaces of the country, to visit "The Gisborne Girls".
We met Sue at the patchwork shop in Gisborne, Patch N Quilt. The shop has recently relocated into a lovely new space and we had no trouble spending our money on beautiful things.
Irene was working at the shop and one of her beautiful designs greets shoppers as they enter the store.
Before leaving we posed for a photo (courtesy of Sue) and then drove to Tracee's home for lunch.
The table was beautifully set, the food was delicious and the company was wonderful. We were treated like quilting royalty! Unfortunately Marina forgot her tiara.
Lots of laughter was on the menu and after much organisation, and discussion of dance styles (note pole in centre of photo), we managed a photo before leaving.
It was a fabulous day. Thank you Gisborne Girls.
We will have to venture out into the country more often.
Starting Christmas 2014 preparations......

Your table runner is so beautiful!
It seems that you had a great time with your friends.
Love your new runner, very organised. Your day in the country looks like lots of fun, always nice to discover a new shop with friends.
What fun…the new space looks very inviting, though given how much bank account damage I could do in the old space maybe I'd best not check it out without a concerted savings plan effort first!!…shame Marina forgot her tiara *LOL*…the table runner is lovely...

A lovely day out for you all. Shame about Marina's tiara!!
Maypole Dancing was it Elyte? What a fun filled day you had and the christmas table centre looks very nice. Perhaps I need to add a christmas item to my list of things for the month.
