Quilts In The Barn 1st Birthday!!

l've been missing in action for the past week, enjoying the sights and wonderful weather down in Tasmania. Here is a sampling of what we enjoyed over the last week.













And while l was there, Quilts In The Barn had it's 1st birthday. So l visited my good friends,
Leonie and Deidre,  at The Quilted Crow, you can see their wonderful shop here,
 and picked up some of their weekender patterns, to have a birthday giveaway.

Its simple. All you have to do is leave a comment telling me which photo from above
 is your favorite and why, and l will put your name into the draw.
 


l will be picking 4 winners, ( 1 pattern each) randomly, next Saturday 7th May.
Now don't forget, if you are a no-reply blogger, l can't email you to let you know you have
 won, so please leave your email address,  just in case. I will post anywhere in the world.

Its been a busy few weeks, and there is lots to catch up on, so stay tuned.
Thanks for visiting.
Linda.

  9. Oh my gosh, Linda. All of the photos are beautiful. What a lovely time you must have had. I love the photo of the cottage with the wonderful stone fence. I've never seen anything like that in real life and cannot imagine the work that went into it- simple but rugged and beautiful.
    Happy one year blogiversary!!

  10. I love the stonework photos...there is just something so appealing about natural stone....it is stately and matches everything! Makes a nice backdrop for flowers and trees, and in vistas is so homey and comforting.

  14. All are beautiful photos but I think I like the large stone building because I'd like to explore the inside of it. It's what I don't see that intrigues me!

  15. I like the photo of the tree with the fruit. I cannot quite make out what it is but would love a bite, nonetheless.

  16. I love the windmill. We have them in our country too and it's always nice to see them work. See them in action. It's history and belongs to nature.

  17. It's got to be the Apples. Never seen them grown like that.

  19. What a great advertisement for Tasmania this post is. I love all the photos, but I like the aqueduct best because of the rhythm and shape of the arches. Congratulations on such a uniformly high standard blog - only one year? it feels like you have been part of my life for longer.

  21. Happy anniversary! My favorite photo is the espaliered apples as I am hoping to learn to do that some day. Looks like you had a lovely trip and I enjoyed looking at all of your photos!

  22. Happy anniversary and thank you for the chance to win a lovely prize. My favorite is the tiny little cottage behind the dry stone wall. I wonder who lived there and how many children did they have, imagine if it was 10 or more. All of the photos are wonderful. Tassie really is a wonderful place.

  25. Congratulations on reaching one year of blogging. You have shared many spectacular quilts with us.
    My favourite is the second photo, the coastline view. Reminds me of our trip to Lyme Regis in Cornwall last year following in the footsteps of Jane Austen.

  26. BY all means the Windmill, but all the pictures are lovely. What a nice trip you had and congrats on the anniversary.

  27. The beautiful red apples.......apples make me think of Tasmania. Well done on 12 months of blogging, it's fun to read.

  28. Linda I love all of your photos but I think my favorite is the windmill. It is so simple and pristine. Love the fact that "way back when" people used natural resources for power. All, the simpler life. I think I have set my blog so you can reply but have been having some trouble so my e-mail is barb.whitehead@roadrunner.com

  29. It was difficult to choose a favorite photo. But I did! I really like the stone house surrounded by the rubble wall. I like the way all of the paths come together at the wooden gate. I also like the swath of greenery along the wall. Lovely!

  32. My favorite pics (if I have to pick one) would be 2 or 4.... Since I'm stuck in the middle of the US I love anything with that ocean. I could sit there and gaze at it all day long!
