New Zealand buying spree

Hello Bloggers,
It's been a while since I have posted as I have been on holiday in New Zealand having a glorious time.
We toured all around the north island and while I was there I mapped out where all the quilting shops were and managed to get to 3 of them.
I have purchased all Kiwiana fabric to make 2 or 3 quilts I have in mind. My husband is a Maori so I would like to make him some quilts to put in his games room to remind him of his homeland.
You will see that the patterns that I have purchased are of the native flora ferns that are everywhere  and the traditional weaving that they do with the flax.

I also purchased a large amount of Kiwinana fabric which I am going to use for the above patterns and another Maori design I have in mind for my husband relating the tribe his ancestors come from.

I am really looking forward to starting these quilts as I have so many ideas in my head.

I also went to the Museum in Auckland and came across this beautiful blanket that had been drawn on by a tribe. All I could see was a quilt pattern, and could not resit taking photo's of it for maybe another project that I could work from this design. Their were so many idea's that I got from the Museam for quilts and I was so inspired by the time I left. Looks like I am going to be busy.
