Coffee, cake and rust in Ipswich

I recently caught up with Anna Maria Mays Vermeer in the historic Ipswich district. Anna Maria was the guest speaker at the most recent 2QAQ meeting, sharing her love of textiles, felting and repurposing with the group. We visited a few of the many op shops and antique / collectibles places on our way to Cactus for coffee, chatting and delicious cake (no picture, we ate it too quickly). Anna Maria's rust piece from our 2QAQ demonstration is looking rather intense - it was surprising how much rusting occurred in such a short amount of time.
