Big day out

I had such a fun day yesterday!! Who wouldn't love visiting a whole bunch of patchwork shops!!??!! I left at about 9am (to miss the traffic) and didn't get home until about 5pm!!! I headed straight up to the north coast to Mooloolaba and popped in to see the girls at the Sewing Basket on Brisbane Road. My timing was pretty good because when I arrived I walked in on a group of ladies doing a class for my '4x4 Tablerunner'!!! It was lovely to meet the them all :o). I also popped in to see Danielle and the girls at Caboolture Sewing Machine and Patchwork - I always have a laugh when I go in there :o). Danielle talked me into leaving my "Pandamonium" quilt for them to put on show in their store for a while.

Altogether I visited 9 patchwork stores ... and I was very well behaved (that's not to say I wasn't tempted to buy though ....) all I came home with was this super little book - It lists all the patchwork shops in Australia and I know it's going to come in very handy when we travel too, I don't have to miss one single shop along the way he he he. If you'd like one, I bought mine at Kimz Patchwork at Main Road, Warana Qld ... but there's also a website on the back where you can buy it direct. It's http://www.austpatchdir.netfirms.com/ - you can also get updates there too :o).

I think Sophie must have missed me while I was out all day ... this is what she did last night when I wasn't looking!!! I thought it was just quilts that she liked to hide under, but here she is under my (not yet finished) rag rug!!! I didn't have the heart to move her so I didn't get any more done on it at all last night.

Talk soon ...
