I especially enjoyed the close ups of the medallion quilts. Spectacular!<br /><br />As for the furry pouch...that's a bit strange.

The quilts are beautiful and very detailed. I think it would take me a hundred years to make one :) I am not familiar with Di's work. I will have to do a bit more investigating to learn and see more. I enjoyed some of the comments on the rock dishes. That is creative! I wonder what my husband would say if I served him some supper on a rock tonight ! I'm sure he'd think I was off my "rock"er. Ha makes me smile though. I sure do love amazing food! <br /> Take care .

The snow would have been stunning to see and I'm glad the canola was still out for you to see. Love your photos. We love Canowindra. You will have to try to get there one year on the October long weekend when they have a quilt display up the main street. Temora and Aviation Museum is one of our favourite places to visit. We've been a few times and always stay at the pub at Ariah Park. Now that quilt exhibition would have been worth seeing. If you time it right there are also jetboat races just out of Temora. They are an eye opener and not what you expect to see out that way.I'm jealous of your dinner at Bowral. It sounds like a meal to remember.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288331185772160975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775865396645690199.post-71562315392516210402014-10-22T21:02:35.413+11:002014-10-22T21:02:35.413+11:00GreT trip.

Because the first time I saw them, I had some fish sauce triple bagged in the boot. It still managed to escape. Lol.

Im sure it was absolute coincidence that there happened to be a quilting display on where you ended up . Those quilts are truly works of art. (just sent the Phoebe quilt picture to a friend who makes quilts like this to see if she could be tempted to make it ) <br /><br />I love it when you get food served on non traditional “dishes”. It adds a lot of ambience to the experience I think. <br />Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775865396645690199.post-45169292598237948312014-10-22T07:33:03.733+11:002014-10-22T07:33:03.733+11:00Wow you packed so much into a short time.

The quilts looked so beautiful. We saw lots of canola fields when we were driving around Victoria. How lucky were you to be in town when the vintage car club came through. Sometimes those unexpected things can really add a special touch to your trip.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299378413584319405noreply@blogger.com
