Then we spent a few wonderful days in Franschhoek eating lots of yummy food at lots of different restaurants. The highlight being lunch at La Petite Ferme restaurant with stunning views over the Franschhoek valley.
The lowlight being crickets jumping on the dinner table at another not to be named restaurant!As always we visited the Aquarium while in Cape Town,
the boys just love it and the sharks don't really mind that we're there!I have been working on squaring up the monster with the fabrics that we bought at The Quilting Bug.
DH has informed me in no uncertain terms that he does NOT like this quilt. Mom if you're reading this, sorry, but there you go. I will not be discouraged and will try and finish the darn thing LOL.
This is not my colour scheme, but I find it so interesting and a challenge to get it done (Never mind all my UFO's back in England!!!)
I have also been working on my rose hexagon scrappy quilt.
A week or so back I visited a shop in George called Quilttalk (can't find a website) and bought a few small pieces of rose fabric which are already incorporated. If anybody reading this woud like to swap rose fabric for African fabric, please email me (sewkalico at yahoo dot co dot uk) or leave a comment. 4" squares or larger are what I'm looking for and I can swap Shwe-Shwe fabric or anything African...
As I am suddenly able to upload photos, here are some of the boys for my family and friends (who don't sew, but read this blog when they can bear it LOL)
This one for Aunty Jane....

Hi Karol-Ann!! I love all the pictures! It looks like you have having a wonderful holiday visiting family! Miss you!
What great photos you've uploaded - especially of the boys - they are GORGEOUS and we're missing them loads, (and you and your DH of course!!!).
Its been terrible weather over here, so you aren't missing anything - but the nights are getting lighter, which has to be a positive thing!!
See you all soooooon JMC&F xxx
The boys look like they are having a great time. LOVE the hexagons they are really pretty.
Go on, do tell the name of the cricket restaurant :)
Good to see you posted Karol-Ann!! I love all the photos! What an amazing landscape!
Looks like you're having a wonderful time - that view is awesome!
Great to see all those pictures. I like your hexagon roses.
Great pictures - the boys seem to be shooting up ! So looking forward to my fabric arriving.
Happy to swap rose fabrics for African - do you have any colour prefences?
I'm in the UK and happy to send you anything from my stash.
