Last Saturday I just happened to be able to fill in some time, while the boys were bike riding, at the Goldfields Quilters' Exhibition in Castlemaine. It was a nice selection of quilts, many of them reproduction style as the local patchwork shop Threadbear specialises in reproductions. What a lot of work involved in these! We got to pick a viewers' favourite and mine was this one:

Court House:
Community Centre:
Town hall:
Post office:
Imperial Hotel ("renovator's delight"):
I also snapped these wonderful tiles (which would make a great quilt pattern!) on someone's front path:
