Leaving things to the last minute again...
It is now Monday. On Tuesday, tomorrow I'm op-shopping my way along the bayside suburbs.
On Wednesday, I plan to hit the antique/quilt/op shops in the Dandenong Ranges, starting from Warburton (which I found out today is only a 40min drive from Pakenham- always thought it was further away) and hopefully winding my way around the tourist road.
Aussie Victorian Patchworkers - I need your help.
Are there any particular shops that I NEED to stop and shop in?
My quest is for dark green fat 1/4's for my Spruce/Pine tree quilt that I'm making in the 2nd week of my holidays. I now have 8 fat 1/4's - only need another 10 before next monday.
This time around, I do not have hubby or boys in the car with me, and time is not an issue - today I did find ONE shop and I had less than 2 minutes in there - I know how to get there and I'll be calling back in on Wednesday for certain.
I might also head to Koo-wee-Rup (Crafty Quarters) during the week - or down to Warragul...not sure yet.
Please tell me where to go

An Op Shop is an Opportunity Shop, or Thrift Shop.
perhaps better known to yourself as a Goodwill store.
These are generally run by charity or church groups and staffed by volunteers.
I'll let you know if I find any goodies....
