Whale watching

We have just come back home after a weekend away in Cape Town.
Saturday we took a drive to Hermanus to see the whales.
The weather was superb and we did see the whales in the bay.
The country side around Cape Town is amazing.
There is such contrast with vineyards and farm lands and suddenly rolling hills all green with the winter rains.
The mountains are so close and the ocean is even closer.


I did not manage to buy any fabric and missed my machines back home.







I have my kaleidoscope quilt ready to be put on the frame.
I am keen to try something else besides stipple/meandering.
Do I draw onto the top or try a pantograph?
I think it calls for feathers or wreaths of some sort.
Tomorrow is my sewing day at home.
My sewing friends and I will be working on our guild mystery quilt/wall hanging.

Until later
Happy sewing
Susan

Just doing my South African Blog Tour and thought to say "hi"! 8-)
Your little trip sounds wonderful! I could sit for hours along the water's edge watching the whales...
Sorry to hear you had some tough times work wise back in July. I hope things are getting better there for you!
Happy stitchings, from Winnipeg! 8-)
