Bus trip to Warwick.......

Yesterday I went on a bus trip to Warwick with a group of ladies from the Tenthill craft group. We had a wonderful day.

Our first stop was to the most wonderful patchwork shop. It was called Glenrose Patchwork. The shop was amazing. The ladies there provided us with a lovely morning tea. Unfortunately it was raining when we arrived and I left my camera on the bus. But I did steal a couple of photos from their website. The first one is of inside the shop and the second is the shop front. A few of us sat out on the veranda with our morning tea and watched the rain... It was lovely.

Another lovely shop we went to was Canning Town Patchwork. I got a couple of photos inside there.

From this shop I bought the most amazing tiny ric rac... I fell in love with it and got 10 metres of each of these three colours....... The large ric rac from another shop Shelly's Curtains and craft and yes I got 10 metres of it as well.....

We had a couple of competitions on the bus and I won one of them... Look what I got as my prize....
We also found a surprise waiting for each of us when we got on the bus to come home... mine was a wee small pink wheelie bin to sit on your desk... I forgot to take a photo of it...

I bought this at Spotlight in Ipswich last week. I need it for a project I am working on for the magazines.

You may have noticed the back ground in my photos... it is my most wonderful bag that I received from Cindy as a Christmas gift...... Here is a photo of the bag......


And lastly a photo of a name bunting that I have made for our newest grandee... Odin..... I have made these for our other grandees... Xavier, Rilee and Charli. They are so quick and easy to make. I think I will write up a quick little pattern and have the alphabet there so you can make what ever you want to. I have also made Merry Christmas.....
Well I had better get off here as it is time for me to prepare lunch. Steak and veggies today.....

Happy crafting......

They are the best road trips, visiting patchwork/fabric shops.
