At work with my quilts..

Its like my own little art gallery at work :)
They moved us around in the office and I had this
blank canvas.

Africaan Rusks

In preparation for Laura and Fred coming to visit here is Lauras' blog.. I have made some africaan rusks so they feel at home when they come over to visit us next weekend.... hopefull they will last till then ... Laura gave me the recipe and now I am hooked.
Awaiting your arrival :) Laura owns trapsuutjies company which sells fabric paints and supplies. I believe I did a piece which I blogged using some of Lauras' paints. Dijanne and Annette both use these fabric paints and love them. I am sure alot of others use Lauras paints as well.
Laura will be attending the Festival of Quilts and I shall go for a few days to help them out at the stand as well. Watch this space for some work with the paints.
