Come to lunch, Shirley and Lewis invited us, together with our mutual friends Robyn and Barrie. We couldn’t turn down an invitation like that, could we? Lunch was delicious. Chicken and various salads, including Lewis's famous Canadian Potatoe Salad. And to finish off our meal, Shirley brought in a wonderful trifle – so yummy. While the blokes were doing a little “male bonding” the three ladies retired to the sewing room to check out some quilts. This is her latest creation, all made from stash fabrics, Shirley proudly announced. The pattern came from her book “Pairing Up – 2 block quilts”, by Nancy Mahoney.
Shirley’s new quilt
She had recently made two new cushions for the settee in the sewing room. These handsome cushions were made panels purchased a while ago, from a trip to Canada, I believe. You don’t want to take my photo, she is saying.

We rejoined the men and spent the afternoon reminiscing about our younger days. Believe it or not, but many years ago when we were all so much younger, Shirley, Lewis, Robin and I spent several days walking the famous Milford Track together. The walk was hard going at times, but what a sense of achievement we all had when we had completed it. Those were the days!
