COSMOS - A PAINTING FROM HEAVEN





















We are in the midst of winter at this end of the world and the COSMOS was absolutely beautiful this year. These wild flowers appear in April and line the roads in the highveld. They are a sea of lavendar colour, with pretty, soft yellow centres.

Apparently when the queen of England visited our country in the early 20th century, she thanked her guests for planting these flowers along the train track which she was travelling. Nobody had told her that indeed these flowers grow absolutely wild at that time of the year. They die off in the winter, seed themselves, and then appear in abundance the following year.


Isn't our world amazing?!

ANOTHER COMPLETED QUILT






















I thought I'd put up another picture of yet another quilt which I have completed. This time its a smallish quilt...called the "Scrap Quilt" and generally used just as a knee rug. This gave me the opportunity to learn some of the basic techniques. It worked out quite pretty, don't you think?


ps Thanks for all the splendid birthday wishes from you all. I had a fantastic day.
