Our trip home, shopping and silos (photo heavy)

 Next up is to show you what we did on our way home.

First was a coffee stop.

The toilet block is covered in a beautiful mosaic tile picture.

It is amazing how the artists get these so real like.


The kids painted here are so good.


The painting goes around the sides but it hard to see the design.


Next we headed to Karoonda but the quilt shop was not open. We did get to visit the craft shop next door though. Yes we did make some purchases.
I am into goats milk soap atm so this was a nice one to try.

Next I saw a little coin purse that also has a spot for a few cards. Something little for when you don’t need a whole bag of stuff.



2 sweet little girls aprons. I thought these would be wonderful for my granddaughters Xmas present. For $12.50 each it was so much easier to buy them. They are very sweet with their matching head scarves.



There was also another silo to visit across the road. These are just amazing.








Our lunch stop was Loxton and another quilt shop. Vaughn’s.
More purchases. I saw this beautiful panel which makes quite a few zippered pouches. One day I will get around to cutting in to it and make one. It is not a thin cotton fabric but a heavier weight. It will make a solid pouch.

A new pin cushion for sewing machine needles. Hopefully this might help me keeping track of the needles I have taken out of the machine. I am yet to set up a system to help me with this.


Some fat quarters I may need for a swap.


I have been watching Anorina make her Kawandi work.I find it fascinating. I saw this thimble which I thought was a good idea and I want to try Kawandi. I’m hoping this will help both with Kawandi and Sashiko pieces.


Overall we had a fantastic weekend.

Heathcote Quilters car pool shopping trip

Today was a wonderful day out. It started a little cool but as I travelled North and the day moved on it became warmer and warmer.
I met the other ladies from Heathcote Quilters at our meeting place at 8.45am. 13 of us gathered and into 3 cars we hopped. Get the motors running and off we go.
First stop is at Seymour to have our coffee stop until the shops open. In to 2 quilt shops we head.
I only bought some wire edged ribbon, quick unpicks & a SANTA key for a wall hanging I have planned.

Ok, back into the car and we head for Nagambie. Another quilt shop where I bought some beautiful note pads for a gift. Then next door for lunch.
NAGAMBIE LAKES ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE.
What a view. 

 Here we all are enjoying a drink and waiting for our lunch. 
The favourites were the Wedge Salad and the Fish and Chips.
Very nice and relaxing.

As the sun warms us up its time to move on.
Next stop was Meg-Mog at Rushworth

It's a quaint little house with the most beautiful stitching projects and patterns.


They had the most beautiful XMAS STITCHERIES. 
There was this gorgeous XMAS ALPHABET stitchery which had to come home with me.
I can see a lot of uses for this pattern. 


Then I had to have some beautiful XMAS fabric for only  $16 a metre.
And check out the great buttons. Lady birds, Butterflies & Owls. How cute....


We finished at the quilt shop and heard about a tasty ice cream shop.
Of course that was our next stop.
Oh YUMMY....
WE ALL HAD FUN DECIDING WHAT WE WANTED. 
I ended up with Banana with  Strawberry & Honey crunch in a waffle cone.
It was lovely sitting outside, talking to the locals & enjoying the sunshine and the day.
How relaxing.


What a great way to spend a day with friends. I'll definitely going back there...
