Like many of you, I enjoy visiting needlework shops when traveling. I was particularly excited to visit Sherelyn's shop, Heirlooms, in Napier, New Zealand. It was just as wonderful as I thought it would be! Here are a few photos to show you what I mean.

Above are several versions of Mrs. Waddelow's Huswif. The finished huswif was made by Sherelyn's daughter Melissa.

How clever is this? Sherelyn turned the stitched pages of one of my little books into small cushions that she displays in a basket.

| Elizabeth and Diane stopped by the shop the day before the class. Here is a photo of them along with Sherelyn (on the far right) and me in front of Sherelyn's roses. Elizabeth is holding her version of A Pair of Pin Cubes. She stitched her version over two linen threads and made the design into a box instead of a pin cube. How clever is that? Diane is holding her A Fair Maiden's Etui. You can see more photos of both of their projects in my last blog post. |
And here are a few final photos before leaving Napier.

Several of you have asked about photos from New Zealand. I have hundreds and will sort through them shortly so I can share a few with you. (I promise not to subject you to all of them.)
