Hi Barb,
A couple of my favourite shops are 'Patchwork on CentralPark' which is in East Malvern, you can get there by tram, last tram stop, cross the road and you are at the shop. 'Patchwork House' in Hawthorn, get there by Tram No 48, takes you right to the door.
Or you could dash across Bass Strait and I will take you to the awesome quilt shops in Tassie
