Fancy a virtual tour of one of Australia's loveliest quilt shops?

After a very busy last week of school, my Mum (who is visiting for a few days) and I treated ourselves to a visit to The Home Patch, owned by the lovely Anni Downs, designer of Hatched & Patched designs. Oh, what treasures lie beyond this little green door! Unfortunately, Anni was away in Tasmania doing a workshop & many of her most recent samples were travelling with her, but Margaret, who was taking care of the store for the day, generously gave me permission to take some photos to show you all. So enjoy the tour!

Beautiful quilts line the walls ...

... here ...

... there ...

... and everywhere!

Luscious fabrics at every turn ...

Tempting bundles of loveliness tied up with bows ...

Freshcut fat quarters ...

Felts in every colour imaginable ...

... and felt designs from Anni ...

Sweet dancing dollies ...

Some Hatched & Patched needlepunch originals

... and more samples of Anni's whimsical stitchery & applique designs ...

Overwhelmed with creative inspiration we dragged ourselves from this wonderful shop, returned home & started planning our next projects! What better way to spend the day?!
