She ended up helping me to mop up some minor floods in my house. Here are some pictures from the weekend. We took her to Cape Point, which is also known as The Cape of Storms.

Love your pictures, both the seascapes and the botanical ones. Makes me want to pack a bag and come to see for myself. I'm looking forward to seeing your quilt, you must have learned a lot during and after hours.

The pictures are just beautiful! *4u

I still have to make a whole quilt. All I did in the class were two blocks to learn the technique. Reversible means that you make a quilt on either side - you'll have to wait for me to make one to show you. *4U

What Breathtaking pictures, i thing the cape region is the most beautiful part of south africa, i have done the garden route atlest 3 times and just cannot get enough of it.Did u see any whales? I love the Nelson Mandala strelitzia. lucky u to be living in that part of thr world.

Thank you for all your comments. *4U all

They are lovely photoes

What a very pretty place to live, it must be like waking up in heaven every day, *4u

Beautiful pictures Shirley. Sorry about your storm.

Know you learned alot. Sounds like you had bad weather( We have had storms here ) A flower for you,

How nice-the staying, not the storm. How did you enjoy it? I think it's the most clever way to make a quilt. Your pictures are beautiful.

what fantastic photos and lucky lady to have a tutor stay with you, Jo

shirley, your photos are absolutely breathtaking, I particularly like the bird one. Not sure who Sharon Pederson is but I am sure you would have enjoyed having the teacher stay....always a bonus. Glad you had some play time together.

Thanks Kerry. Sharon lives on Vancouver Island. She is an international teacher and has written 5 books, so she has quite a pedigree!! *4U

Beautiful pictures. What an experience you must have had.

How fun and exciting at the same time. I think Sharon is going to be in Glendale, California in October.

These are beautiful and what an experience for you.

What an experience! Those are breathtaking pictures. I have her book and took a class on it at a local quilt shop.Lots of fun!;)
