OMG, this African Quilt is quite a work of art.
Where to start, where to start? Well, GOOGLE is where we all start today, I think. Because the little corner of my brain where "African designs & motifs" is supposed to reside is apparently empty.
Lots and lots of s.i.d.
After s.i.d. then it's time to add in some African background quilting.
I have a great deal of admiration for quilters who are so adept at applique. It also appears that she has an embroidery machine that (wait for it...) she knows how to use.

Seriously. If you're going to be mad at me because I (apparently) hurt your feelings, maybe you could do me the courtesy of TELLING ME WHAT I DID/SAID. You can even YELL at me, if that's the only way you can get it out. Because quite likely, what you are hurt/angry/insulted/shocked about is a MISUNDERSTANDING. Which, obviously, I cannot clear up IF YOU DON'T TALK TO ME. If it's not a misunderstanding, if I actually DID something that hurt your feelings, I would like to apologize and not do it again. Because in spite of how you are thinking right now - I do NOT want to hurt you. You're one of my 'peeps' and I love you.
How do you think it makes ME feel, when you are supposed to be someone who LOVES ME, and you are walking around acting like I hurt your feelings on purpose? C'mon. You've known me for a zillion years and you should know that I don't go around intentionally hurting people's feelings. If you REALLY think that's what I do, you should not be in my life because apparently you do not think I'm a very nice person.
You probably noticed a little bit of personal hurt feelings and anger here but there ya go... that is Today's Pet Peeve. I apologize to any of you reading this if it gave you stress, but I had to get it out. Have a martini, you'll feel better. 😁
ZUCCHINI REPORT
Ooh, this first report covers three weeks. I meant to take a few with me yesterday when I dropped off boxes to the Quilts of Valour rep in Hamilton. But I'm gettin' old, and I forgot. Stupid.
Picked so far: 23
Tossed in the compost: 0
Given away to customers: 3
Thankfully, these are all little ones. The teeny ones get chopped up into salads, where it's pretty difficult to identify them. There are six or seven plants in the garden in two separate clumps. I seem to be getting about three per day in the 5" size.
