A visit from a friend
March 13, 2019
My friend Angela came for an overnight stay. It was great to see her and we hit the shops together.
Of course nothing was plain sailing. The builders were supposed to finish the new built in wardrobe in the guest bedroom. No, the doors didn' t arrive. Plus builders are so messy. I spent a lot of time after they left, which was the night before her arrival, just cleaning up. I do have nearly finished cupboards out on the rear patio but there is still work to be done here as well. It has been 3 years since her last visit and this had to happen. Talk about Murphy's Law.
I only have a couple of patchwork shops in my area but both are good. Bayside Stitchery is a great store. Good stock, with a whole range of notions that leave other shops behind. Only bought a couple of fabrics here. Not sure how I will use them.
Then onto the shop at Capalaba. Angela, who is a long arm quilter found the supplier for extra parts for her machine and I found a whole lot of COTTON gingham. I have been searching for pure cotton for so long and here I found it on special. Had to have a metre of each.
Now I have found it this will be used for a Chicken Scratch in children's class next year.
