Quilt shopping

Yet another lazy day. Angst filled morning for Sophia doing her maths - argh! Headed to Intercourse to the Quilt Museum and various craft and quilting stores. Ben spends his time yelling out "Hey this is $4!" or "How much money do I have again?!"
The fabric here is so inexpensive. My favourite store in Brisbane is Peppermint Stitches in Toowong - where I pay anywhere between $25 - $30/metre; whilst over here the exact same fabric is only about $7 per metre. Another reason not to go home!
We lunched at Shady Maple www.shady-maple.com and then went downstairs to the uber gift store. Decided to give the cheese factory a miss for the afternoon.

At Shady Maple - an uber Sizzler - just people watching is enough to make you limit what you put on your own plate
