I went by train to Warrnambool, that meant an early morning for me as I had to get the train at South Geelong at 8.13, change at Waurn Ponds and then head to Warrnambool. I managed to sleep most of the train ride there. When I arrived I was distracted by a large number of hot rods and classic card driving past the station, I wandered up the main street and then realised I was right where an Adventure Lab started so decided to do that straight away.
A lane way I passed
I really enjoyed the street art
this one too
view along the street to the War Memorial
Statues at the Art Gallery
Sammy the seal, Sammy used to follow the fishermen in to the wharf and enjoy being fed until the day a shark got him and sadly that was the end of Sammy.
This is called which way to the beach - featuring the penguins.
I then went to look at a shoe shop as you do and got a taxi to the quilt show.
The biennial Southern Right Creative Festival show is held at Brauer College. Once there I started looking around and saw a familiar face - Annette and her friends, so I said hello and had a chat for a while. Here are a few of the quilts I liked
Isn't this pretty?
The Daylesford Quilt by Jen Kingwell, I have seen a few of these, mine is waiting to be quilted.
Tea Towel Party, inspired by Racheldaisy's book. A collection of vintage koala themed tea towels, this reminded me of the tea towel challenge we had at Bellarine Quilters last year.
Really liked the secondary pattern in this one.
Always a sucker for hexies!!
This reminded me of the Churndash challenge from Chooky a while back.
part of the show view. There were about 200 quilts and shops all around the edge of the hall, some shopping was done as I had a Christmas voucher to spend!
a pattern and some beautiful bright fabric from These Clever Hands.
View from the train on the way home.
Right that is me done for now, I am off to Geelong soon so had better go and get ready,
Happy stitching.
A lovely day out, even if it was a long one. Beautiful quilts and nice to catch up with friends
ReplyDeleteSammy is a cutie. Too bad a shark got him.

Gosh Sue - some amazing quilts there. I really love that tea towel one, I saw one at the quilt show last October & it was flour sacks. That street art you have photographed is wonderful - really pops right out at you. A lovely days outing Sue. xx
