Nursie... I am sooo jealous.. my roommate has been to NZ a couple of times and we have a friend there he's visited. She came here a year or two ago and for a "bread and butter gift" ( do people even call it that any more?) she brought me some half yard cuts of fabric.. I have been cherishing them, and get them out and stroke them now and then.. haven't come up with an idea to use them yet. Yes, the patterns are different, but I love them all... have a wonderful trip and don't forget to move around to help prevent dvt's on that long flight.
