Fact: I wish I did textile design!
When you see someone who does such bold and engaging designs it reminds me of these 2 facts.
When you read that they are in Cape Town, South Africa at the same time that you are in Cape Town, South Africa and they invite you to come and see what they are doing, you go! I went!!
Here's a glimpse of some Shine Shine fabric that came back to Yorkshire with me in my suitcase that according to DH was just far to heavy (I recall a conversation about men and mice... say no more!)
Tracy of Shine Shine (sitting behind her desk here), does great textile design and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her in her Bo-Kaap studio in Cape Town.
Shine Shine also turns great textile design into fun products: bags, cushions, aprons...!
If you are in Cape Town, and they ARE in Cape Town, pay them a visit, I thought it was wonderful.
On another note:
Here, in Yorkshire, the sun will not 'shine shine' this weekend, but it did the other day and the boys just love getting out in the sun and the river with friends...
And the cows and I enjoy watching them :-)

The fabric you hauled home from Shine Shine is absolutely something that I would have paid a luggage weight overage to haul home ~ love the Obama cloth! And as for your swimming boys and the cows observing, well now that is just glorious fun and I thank you for sharing that with us. :o)
Wow, cool and colorful fabric. I love the pic of the cows watching your boys swim.
What a gorgeous photo of the boys with the cows - just brilliant for a caption competition!
Fabulous fabric! I think places that are warmer tend to have brighter prints. If you look at the quilts made in Australia and New Zealand they always seem much more vibrant than the ones made here or in the states.
Love the last picture...the cows look like there are ready to go for a swim too!
Obama cloth...what a riot! I made an Obama quilt for a good friend so I guess I shouldn't say anything!
The photo of your boys is wonderful...I miss seeing all the livestock!
Seems like the cows are having a great time watching! lovely color and fabric!
Beautiful fabric, lucky you to be able to meet her. Are these the neighbors cows or do you own them?
Hi I'm glad you're back - I love your blogs! They keep me going when I can't sew (like now). Looking forward to when you get settled in, but you seem pretty busy to me!
Thanks for sharing!! Lovely pictures!!
