The Tuesday members of Eastwood patchwork Quilters recently enjoyed a delightful morning at Kim Bradley Creations, located at Castle Hill about 30 minutes from where we meet.

Kim’s shop is bright and light filled, showing off her array of stunning fabrics at their best. Many of us were unable to resist the temptation and came away with arms laden, Kim and her staff were kept busy at the cutting tables all morning. We were very appreciative of the refreshments that Kim offered us, finishing off the morning beautifully.

The verdict after our visit? well worth a return trip!
