Slow I know but a quick overview of my trip to Australia!
I arrived in Sydney on Australia Day... a good day to arrive! :)

After a few days in Sydney we went up near Port Stephens

Then travelled back down and headed towards Phillips Island to see the Penguin Parade!

On the way to Phillip Island we stopped at Lakes Entrance at Stitches 'N' Things and I couldn't resist this bundle of fabricy goodness! They had a great moda selection of FQ's!

Robe, where we just managed to get to The Secret Drawer before they closed! I picked up a few more fabrics there!

And finally ended up in Adelaide...
 |
| Victor Harbour |
Where we went on a little fabric shop tour... Fabrics Plus in Blackwood, Patchwork by the Sea in Brighton, The Quilt Basket in Victor Harbour and we went to Spotlight which seems to be the Australian version of Abakhan but much better!
So I came home with a nice little stack of fabrics....
So that was my trip! Well the version where you don't have to suffer through 3000 photos! Only relatives have to deal with that! ;)
I had a fantastic time and I would do it all again in a heartbeat!
Tomorrow is FNSI I am hoping to do something in my sewing room but as its been over 2 months since I touched my machine I will see how the day goes! Good Luck to anyone else getting stuff done tomorrow though! :)
Your trip sounds so exciting - good for you! Hopefully will be sewing along with FNSI too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fab time! Hope you get a chance to get back at the sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteWell, I loved seeing the photos that you posted and I can't wait to see what you do for the FNSI!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a bit of a whirlwind tour of Australia. Hope you had fun and glad you made some crafty purchases to use on future projects with a nice memory of your trip.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, thanks for sharing. Two of them even show what I've seen myself :)
ReplyDeleteAnd what a yummy stack of fabric.
