Poor blogging skills

I cannot believe another month has gone past.
my blogging skills are really poor.
I suppose its called "life"
I have done quite a bit of sewing and have completed my
One of a Kind quilt.
It turned out quite nicely and does not look half as bad as when it was just blocks.
It amazing what putting it all together does!
I have quilted it with butterflies and stippled around the applique.




On the non-sewing side I have been quite stressed with work
as H has not found anyone suitable
to take my place and so I am still going out to the factory every day.
Hopefully this week will find someone suitable.
Until later,
Happy sewing

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
