Patchwork Fabric Shopping

Today, a friend & I, travelled to an area 50 minutes from the city to fondle and buy patchwork fabric. My friend is relatively new to patchwork so was keen to learn where the patchwork stores in the area are located. We had a lovely time fondling many of the wonderful fabrics, checking patterns, buttons, beads and ribbon. We visited three stores, one was only opened from Thursday to Sunday, so naturally, that will require further investigation.

I found another store selling Cherry Ripes so, replenished my stock and introduced my friend to this particular favourite Australian Treat.
We had a delicious lunch before moving on to another store for similar perusal. We stopped for a very welcome afternoon tea , before we headed back. It was lovely to drive home along the harbour edge in the sunlight, as an afternoon departure of an Inter Islander ferry, headed towards the channel and heads.
