The Quilt Show in Stellenbosch and my projects



Went to the Quilt Show in Stellenbosch yesterday and it was one of those special days for me, everything quilts quilts and more quilts. There were quilts made in every way one could think of, machine quilting hand quilting even some lovely art quilts. Well of course there were the vendors too. Just love them and am so thankful that they also have stalls there with all the supplies that us quilters need as we, now those that live far from large cities, have to always get fabrics over the post. Thank you to all of you and also all the designers who also supply us with lots of inspiration and also free patterns.

Just thoughts for the week!!!!!

Well I have been thinking:

I need to get some projects going again, but
and here is always a but, I have to make
tea for the bowling club again. Now coming
to mind that I have always thought (incorrect)
that being a tea girl job would just suit me fine,
and since being in the kitchen of the bowling club
I have found that tea making is no easy job.
Now I am being punished with this hard boring job
(which I am doing willingly to help the club) which
reminds me of the movie "Tooth Fairy". So I have
two days of tea making for 60 persons and am doing
it with a smile, tea girls always have smiles on their
faces and most of the time I dont even know the persons.
hehehehehe

Well I also need to get some projects completed for our
Quilt Show at the end of August, you'll ask why so long
before, well making all these lovely items is not something
ones makes in a few hours, some of the items take a month or
longer, even had a quilt take me three years to complete just the
hand quilting. Which of course was very rewarding when done, as
a job well done. I am sure lots of you know that feeling, no matter
how tired one gets of that item one needs to complete the journey
started.

But in the meantime its back to being a tea girl and this one needs
some delicious hot coffee now.

Hugs and take care and have a blessed week.

More handwork done by me and Matts new friend.

This is my Cat wallhanging now completed and I love the bright colors.



This is a crochet cloth that I crocheted in 1975

This is now another orphan to join the family, and its is still alive now after a week with
the kids and Skye the new kitty just loves it. Matts is very happy
as he has two new best friends around.
