The Potpourrie Group

Meeting on the 12th November 2009

At the Weskus Hacienda near Graafwater.

A lovely little Guest House near the West

Coast of South Africa.

Here is our new leader in pink

and the man there just came to say hello

to all us ladies. hehehehe

This is our Christmas Project we are

working on now for 2009

Amanda is the first to have hers completed.

My how fast Matthew has grown. This was taken at

school.

This is another Midget Dear Jane block and

has taken me 2 days to complete. It is going

to take forever to get over 200 of them done.

October Angel

I have now completed the October Angel

and have started the November Angel.

Hope to have these finished soon.

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.

Better picture

This is a better

picture of

August Angel

and she is holding

sea shells.

August Angel

I have now completed the August Angel.

The pic is not that clear as you can see its done.

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.

This is the last of the Verandah View blocks

and now to put the whole lot together.

This is a peg bag for my daughter
in law.

This is the lovely tractor

fabric that I bought at the Fynbos Quilt

show and its for a journal for my

grandson.
