Saturday’s Bus trip by Heather and Lesley…….
- Addicted to Fabric – good to see the trailer provided outside to hold all our purchases. Long queues seemed to be the order of the day.
- Calico Patch / Injoy Cafe – at this stop, we divided into 2 groups – half heading for the Cafe for a generous lunch and the others heading for more material therapy. With the EFTPOS machine having a meltdown and with massive heaps of fabric yet to be measured and cut, the Operation seemed to be at risk. The last meals were quickly packaged and we were on the road again.
- Hobbysew- with funds dwindling, a valiant attempt was yet made by all to successfully complete the financial commitment to the Operation. With the time running out, the scissors and rotary cutters slicing, the Coach waiting, EFTPOS running hot, our ladies were cool, calm and collected under such stressful conditions.
Lesley from Rockhampton travelled the furthest distance to be part of the Thank You Weekend and to meet Jan-Maree for the first time.
And we are off.. credit cards at the ready to cop a bashing!
