Today we had a little sleep in, yep we
stayed in bed till 8am…. Today we had planned to do a few things around
Hobart. First stop was a the Quilted
Crow, yep finally I get to visit a Tasmanian patchwork shop. I did try in
Launceston, but the once chance I had when I went looking the shop had closed.
Anyway honestly I think I was in there for
30mins and spent $80 and I could have spent so much more. The quilted crow has
the best range of wool fabric, I have ever seen. The quilted crow shop is housed in a gorgeous
old sandstone church. I just loved the stained glass windows and there was so
many gorgeous pattens.

After my visit to the quilt shop we had a
little time up our sleeves so we popped over to a local café for Brunch. Then
we headed to the Cascades Brewery. Marc had booked in a midday tour of the
brewery, with some taste testing after and

Miss S and I had booked in for the live history
tour Louisa’s walk. In the Live play
Louisa’s walk, the two actors take you back in time so you can experience how
an Irish immigrant was convicted and sent to Van Deimen's land and her experiences
before and after arriving in Van Deimen's land. The play was really great, very
moving and the actors really provide you with a good understanding of what
female convicts in Australia had to experience. It was very interesting seeing the Cascades female factory site, where all female convicts transported to van deimens land would spend time

All up it was a much more relaxing day
today, which was nice and after my little visit to the quilt shop I was a
little inspired and spent a little time sewing in the evening.
Catch you tomorrow
