    LUCKY PATSY'S MOM
    I got most of the fabrics in a little shop(not a quilting shop) about half an hours train ride from Capetown, cannot remember the name of the little town. The beads I got in a market place in Capetown.In the Museum of South Africa there are wall hangings depicting African life, made entirely out of beads, and that is where I got my inspiration to use a lot of beads. Unfortunatly in my pics the beads do not stand out very well
