Our guild has a show coming up soon (like in a week or so) and our mini-challenge is to make an 11" x 8 1/2" quilt that is "Inspired by Nature." After much thought and much procrastination, I am planning to do a mini Hawaiian quilt (appliqued by machine, if it's stitched down at all). Then maybe Marcia will let me sneak it in, since the deadline was the guild meeting last week, which I had to miss due to illness. After all, I paid my buck last September ! <br /><br />I love the stories behind them, although I confess I can't always make out what the botanical images are (or that they are botanical images ). I'm not about to attempt one of the flag quilts to do at that size and in a day. Am sure I'll dream of just the right image tonight (send wishes my way for that to happen!).<br /><br />Karnak says, "A trip to Hawaii" in response to the question, "what will your giveaway be?" I'm sure you had to wait a couple of extra hours in the airport somewhere and have $1000 in ticket vouchers for the lucky winner. And the hotel housekeeping service forgot to give you yet another teeny bottle of bad lotion, so they are giving you a couple of nights on the house. Since I've already figured out such a great giveaway for you, you don't need to even have one -- just send everything to me whether I'm right or not.<br /><br />Actually, I hope you had a wonderful trip, avoided getting sunburned, became an expert at hula dancing, dived off the cliff, and are planning to give us lots of details.<br /><br />BrendaBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11341649880625804457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-20993117766193140492010-05-16T07:38:47.320-07:002010-05-16T07:38:47.320-07:00Our teacher in class presented the history of Hawa...Our teacher in class presented the history of Hawaiian quilting, I've always thought they were beautiful.
