Dedri's inspiration for the banket:

"Aunty Jeanette is a very dear friend of mine.  When I was sixteen, her son (my boyfriend at the time) and I went on a Prickly-Pear-Picking mission.  It was an insanely hot Karoo day, so on the way back (driving in his 1972 Merc with a bucket of prickly pears resting between my feet), I decided to turn down my window.  When we got back to his house, I realised that I was completely covered in prickly pear thorns…like head-to-toe covered!  The three of us spent the remainder of the afternoon tweezing them all out.

"When I was working on the design for this square, the colours and shape of my prototype reminded me of that sweltering laughter-filled day, so I decided to indulge in whimsy and call it Jeanette."
