While we travelled to the Barossa we made a few stops at quilt shops. My purse is feeling the hit but I came away with a few good things.
Here are some.....
I am going to make another motorbike quilt for my hubbies groups AGM. He wanted something different to the last two I have done. So when he saw this panel that was it.
Then there were so many for me to choose for a special swap project I have going on. I ended up choosing something very Australian. Now that I am home I have to pull other fabrics and choose a design.
So the fun begins....
I have decided on a design and the fabrics. Now I just have to make it work...
Now for some of our time away.
We stopped at this great lookout. It has such a wonderful view.
It was an amazing view. We saw so many beautiful places. So many to post about.
We arrived at our accommodation in Lyndoch and enjoyed happy hour...
We were to get a nice cheese platter and some lovely wine. Mmmmm not much of a platter... anyway...
We had a bit of a drive and found MAGGIE BEER’S restaurant. The funny thing that day was we had just been watching her on tv with the tv show... The Cook & the Chef.
This is where they filmed the tv show.
The shop seemed a little over priced but it was good for a visit. You can book into some cooking classes too. There were some turtles in the lake and lovely fruit trees in the garden
Our last night in the Barossa, after visiting a few too many wineries we decided to stay close to our accommodation and support the locals. So for dinner we went to the local pub for a pizza and join in on the trivia night....
We came away with a few bottles of wine we had won. Yes, surprise, we won a round and a word competition. So we beat the locals. Very good night....
Well our stay was over and we were on our way home. We stopped for lunch at Renmark..
Look what we saw on the river. A houseboat. If you could tell. It was the most amazing thing. I’m not sure how it still was floating.
It had a bath tub, garden, large fridge & stove. It was a junk yard on water but I’m sure somewhere in there someone lived. You could Moore here for up to 76 hours in any 14 days.
It was fascinating to see... After lunch we drove home and had to unpack, do the washing and groceries. Back to reality and to plan the next trip.
I’m off to see what else was worked on over at the link up at Wendy’s.
