Four Jewel Boxes

The theme for this year’s block of the month class at Quilt Etc. is Dream Vacations. In September we learned about Hawaii, and this month’s subject was New Zealand. The November class – only nine days from today – will focus on Australia. We were invited to bring along souvenirs from our trips to the Land Down Under as show and tell. I’d be happy to oblige, if only I’d actually been there. All three of these places are still on my bucket list. And since I’d rather visit Disneyland eight or nine times than spend 18+ hours on a plane crossing the Pacific, they’ll probably be on my bucket list for the forseable future. That’s okay. I can always visit the koalas and kangaroos at the San Diego Zoo instead. Or I can walk to Pirate O’s and come home with a bottle of Vegemite and a sack full of Tim Tams.
