swap towels from all over Australia

When I learned geography in school, I think I liked coloring in the maps better than knowing the actual regions. But the combination of this tea towel swap and a little Google Maps magic and now geography is fun again.

First, I unveil the lovely work that was sent to me by my nine international swap partners. There is a good variety of stenciling, applique, screen printing, sewing and fabric transfer work. Now I can have an gallery show in my kitchen.

And now I can show you how I geeked out with the geography of Australia. If you click on a push pin, you'll see the towel from that area. Melbourne has 5 push pins, so you'll want to zoom in before checking that one out.
