AQC and Millrose Cottage

 A few of us headed away last week to Melbourne for the AQC and then for a stitching retreat. We enjoyed our time away especially the quilt show and the lovely towns that we visited in Victoria. On Thursday we flew out at 7.15am!!! Thanks Virgin for changing our early flight to an even earlier one! We then had a day at the AQC. The Exhibition Centre is so gorgeous and it was fun to see all the stalls and catch up with many designers.




So lovely to catch up with Anni and Pete of Hatched and Patched.
Here are some of the amazing quilts.







These miniature quilts were made by Kumiko Frydl and were just wonderful!





We had a delicious dinner at an Italian restaurant and then headed to bed. On Friday we picked up our car and headed to lovely Ballan. We couldn't resist a visit to Millrose Cottage on the way to Chrissie's retreat house in Ballan.

Thank you for the happy reminder of how beautiful that exhibition hall is. A group of us kiwis came over for the show in 2018, and what a fabulous time we had. Such a leafy area we enjoyed walking around and counting the wedding parties having their photos taken. Of course we left plenty of $$$ over there….Lovely for you and your friends to have a time away together.
