I used some African fabrics that Ria (a neighbour of my mother's) had sent me from South Africa a while back. Lots of nice bits that I hadn't thought to use before. I made two blocks - one is for a special someone who I swap African blocks with, but I not mentioning any names beginning with K until she gets it LOL.
On another note: My mother is only here until Sunday so time for a last pie...
Yum, it was plum, peach and apple as the blackberries seem to be all gone now. The cake lift is from South Africa and is made by Carrol Boyes, she makes really great functional art (http://www.carrolboyes.co.za - if you're interested...). I have the bread knife, cheese knife, butter knife, trivet, serviette holder, a vase, a few frames... - I did say I love her stuff LOL and I have been buying or been given a piece here and there over the years. If DH doesn't know what to get me he always just goes there and everything is just beautiful and gladly received, just a pity she doesn't sell quilt stuff :O)
