Crafty Girls' Road Trip
by Ann Packer
Do you itch to stitch?
If you get warm fuzzies just walking into a wool shop or simply have to stroke the fabric at the quilt store, this round-up of New Zealand's craftiest places in for you.
Crafty Girls' Road Trip lists treasure troves of materials and inspiration for embroiderers, patchworkers, knitters, spinners and other crafty girls, plus coffee stops to fuel the journey and somewhere to lay your head.
Ann Packer has written numerous features about crafty people and their work for magazines and newspapers. She constructed her first doll's quilt as a five-year-old - from flour bags and wool plucked from a farm fence - and has tried her hand at everything from dyeing to doll-making. Her spinning wheel is temporarily in storage but she expects to take up knitting again should she ever become a grandmother.
