I was in New Zealand, Australia and Tasmania a few years ago. The fabric on their shelves was either made in the U.S. or batiks. Their patterns on the other hand were different and delightful. The quilts were gorgeous and whimsical. I especially liked their stitchery/embroidery patterns. I have seen a line of fabric on equilter in the last few weeks that is from New Zealand, so maybe they are developing their own lines. I did bring back lots and lots and lots of merino wool for knitting and it is the softest yarn I have ever used. The people there are so nice and so helpful. It was my favorite vacation of all time and if it didn't take forever to get there, I'd pack my bags now and do it again.
