I have an enormous fondness for gum trees.
I have five large eucalypts in my garden and they provide a habitat for many birds, bats and animals.
This year the challenge quilt fabric at the Kilmore Quilt Show featured eucalyptus leaves
and the whole quilt show was entitled, "Quilts among the Gum Trees".
So this week for Tuesday Treasures I want to celebrate the gum tree. The leaves, the bark, the fragrance all remind me of home.
Do you have something you treasure that you would like to share? It can be anything you want. A place, a person and animal. A plant, an object, a feeling or a dream. Just pop your details into Mr Linky and join in the fun.
I love the gum trees too... those quilts are inspirational... I love the different dimensions...

ReplyDeleteoh Mel these wallhangings are fantastic and what a lovely theme,i love gum trees too we have heaps of them
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are glorious Mel
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you Melody there is nothing like the smell or the colour of our Gum trees. Their specific green colour is a favourite of mine teamed with the red earth of outback Queensland. You certainly have some talented stitchers in your quilting group. Great Treasure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection from some talented stitchers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic challenge. The quilts are wonderful. Great interpretations and such variety.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely quilts aren't they? And all so very different.
ReplyDeleteThese are extremely unique and creative quilts! A lot of thought went into these.It is not only the month for Halloween, but breast cancer awareness month!!! Treat yourself or a loved one because you care! I am just stopping by with a reminder to do your self breast exam.

Gum trees are so much a part of Australia. When we were in Europe the forests were beautiful but we missed the colour and fragrance of our eucalypts. The challenge quilts are so lovely and varied.
ReplyDeleteGum trees are so special, aren't they? I love them, too. They say Australia to me. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, we loved the 'challenge quilts'... The little one with all the tiny quilts was amazing..They were all great!!
ReplyDeleteWow loved seeing these amazing quilts, such talent . I hope someday to see a gum tree in person:-)
