The Home Patch

Penny and I were lucky enough to have time to have a quick trip out to Bathurst to visit Anni Downs' shop, The Home Patch. It is full of the loveliest fabrics, patterns and so many inspiring samples. We headed off on Thursday and came back on Friday with all Friday morning and a little of Thursday afternoon to shop! Here are some pictures of this wonderful shop.

 It was good to see the In My Garden quilt too and get motivated to make some more blocks.

So much to see!!! It was a special treat to see all the Some Kind of Wonderful samples again too.

Wednesday Show and Tell

It is always lovely to see what the girls have been making at stitching on Wednesdays. Penny has completed this lovely Australian Christmas hanging. It will remind her (or the person she is giving it to) about Christmas in Australia when she is back in England.

I do apologise for the blurriness of these next pictures. Audrey has had these stitcheries framed recently and it was tough taking the photos with the reflection of the lights on the glass. The first one is an Anni Downes stitchery.

This one is a beautiful Christmas stitchery.

And some lovely little girls quilting. Well done Audrey.

Great excitement here, as Penny, Audrey and I are heading off to Bathurst tomorrow to visit The Home Patch, which is Anni Downes' shop. I have heard it is so lovely so can't wait. We do need to do 4 hours driving to get there though. I don't think we will have any trouble filling the time with chat!
