A little Holiday in Tasmania

My husband works hard and we only get one weeks holiday a year as a family. This year we made the trip across the Tasman to Tasmania. It's the middle of winter so it was freezing. Tasmania is known for it's fresh produce, great wine and cheeses and wilderness filled with the most amazing flora and fauna.

Here are a few snaps from our journey across the 'Apple Isle'.

Paddymelon Wallaby on Cradle Mountain. These cuties and wombats
were everywhere.

The quilts of Deloraine. Made over 3 years using silk and other textiles.
These panels were hand embroidered and appliquéd. 

Backdrops for quilts. I had sewing withdrawals so I imagined my
quilts staged in these beautiful backdrops.
