I’ve just returned from a couple of days in Sydney. It was a quick visit this time - but I made sure to go and visit Material Obsession in Drummoyne. It was a quick and easy 10 minute bus ride from the city. The shop is just lovely and filled with so many gorgeous fabrics.
I was really pleased to meet Kathy when I arrived and with a bit of luck and great timing, Cathy from Cabbage Quilts was also visiting. It’s always a thrill to meet the people that you’ve been reading about. I think this is one of the positives of blogging – when you do meet in person, you don’t feel like a total stranger - you have an instant common interest to chat about and the conversation flows easily.
(Not a great iphone photo unfortunately!)
There was also a class going on downstairs and I popped in to say hello to Marj Sampson George (who I first met in Toowoomba last year). The room was abuzz with activity and camaraderie and they were busy sewing, cutting out and chatting. I reflected once again about the distance between my home and great quilt shops.
Oh well, I’ll just have to see how many UFOs I can finish before my next trip.
