Drum Roll please

This first now completed quilt
is one that I started with
the International Friendship Quilters,
named Home Sweet Home, I have named it
My Africa home













The words on it says
" Home the spot of earth supremely
blessed a sweeter spot than all the
rest"



















This is my wallhanging "Verandah View"
I have now completed. It was designed
by willowberrydesigns and was a bom
that I followed. The saying is
"as you stroll a long your path pause
a moment to enjoy the view..."

More of our day in the veld.


Here our dog Zazu is looking for a
small stone we had thrown in the water
and below is the stone she decided
was big enough for us to see














This is what my hair looks like after a

recent hair cut.









Lovely day in the veld.

Took the dogs for a swim in a local
dam called "Koos Louw Dam". they sure had fun and
Bella just loves all the swimming.















These I found on the roadside and
they look white but when closed they
are a lilac color


Here it is even closer but I have no clue
what its local name is. Will have to find
out from one of the older generation that
knows the name.






These are chinkerinchee's (star of Bethlehem)
is growing in the garden and all over in the veld
where there is still some small bits of water around.
These are the last of the flower season and now it
is going to be hot and dry.

Top is now completed!!!


This is now the completed
wallhanging top. Hoping
to have it all quilted soon.
Will be hanging by my
sewingmachine as I am looking
into a white wall and that is
so uninspiring.
