My very special quilt in the making

I am a huge fan of Bronwyn Hayes stitcheries and she has many
quilt books on the market.
Here is a new one I am working on for quite a while now
but am makingit all in one color purple and also am changing
the layout of the quilt as I have some fabulous fabric that
I had bought in Kasane in Botswana but it originally
comes from Zambiaand is woven and printed locally.
The locals call them "Chitenge"
and it has all types of uses, like making a carrybag and also a shawl and
of course it is wrapped around their hips so that it shows the ladies are
not available because they are already taken for.











Just one piece of advice for all stitchery lovers please
dont do what I have done and that is start stitching
before you have zigzagged round the square, it looks
all frayed and hate it. Will be doing the rest properly.

Another bom!


This is the first Bom from a legacy of stitches and
cannot wait for the next one.

My next bom!

Heat and more heat.

We are having a heat wave at the moment and am hoping for the
weather too cool down soon. Have the aircon going but we also

small stuff because I have not strength to do any thinking.

Take care and hugs.

Heat and more heat.
