Tasmanian Warratah...
Remember some time ago, I posted a raw edge applique dog I had sewn? well I decided last weekend he needed to have a place somewhere in this world rather than in the suitcase of unfinished items...sooooo..here he is..all done and proudly looking after my quilting magazines as I travel to and fro the shop!!
On Monday, the "Monday Girls" and I set off early for Erriba, to deliver quilts we had made to Appin Hall. It was a gorgeous day, and I was very much looking forward to it..the girls and I laughed and giggled all the way..on the way up we came across this little tacker..(should have put her in the back) aint she cute?
We stopped off at Sheffield to have some lunch and a spot of retail therapy at Slaters Country Store..We must have done well as the store owner made comment about his holiday he could now have ...hahah....did we spend that much?? nahhhhh surely not!
Sheffield is known as the town of Murals, and although there are many, i thought I would share just one...hope you enjoy it!
After lunch up to Erriba we went..and what a beautiful spot Appin Hall is in...it is gorgeous. Please visit here..to read about Maggie and Ronnie Burns' Wonderful work ..they are amazing ppl who do an amazing job..and we need more like them!! They are a valuable asset to this state, and we are only too happy to do what we can to help them...Maggie was a gem, and made us a great cuppa, and then we had a walk to see what they are doing. If you are local here in Tassie, and would like to help or donate, please visit here..The children can take home a quilt and for some it is a treasure ....Thank you Ronnie and Maggie, for the day and all your wonderful work!!!!
On the way UP and DOWN, we couldnt help but be reminded of the most beautiful state in which we live...what beautful scenery..and of course great time of year to appreciate it.
Oh yeah,,and did I mention we are off to quilt camp for 3 days??? how could I forget?? lol..I have packed more in my case than i did for my USA visit..keep ya posted on that one all..Have a great weekend..we will!!!
cheers

Hello Pauline, looks like you had a great day. I am so disappointed not to be coming to camp this year. Off to visit my daughter in the Hunter Valley this morning!
Have a great retreat!
Hi Pauline, sounds like a fun day had by all & a worthy cause. The applique is brilliant. Enjoy camp. Off course you need heaps of stuff! Wish, wish, wish, wish I was there. Perths doing it's usual heatwave, winter, heatwave senario & I have the flu but at least I can read blogs. Hope you are feeling a bit better too. Tracee xx
