Hawaiian Style.

Another Finish this week!!!


Who would have ever "thunk" it???

Many hours spent in waiting rooms Paid off!!!!

I loved hand quilting this....
just following the appliqued design....
around and around.

It was a relaxing project...
JUST LIKE a vacation in HAWAII!!!!
Well....
not QUITE THAT relaxing.

Thread Heaven

I'm still working away on this pillow.
LOTS of handquilting.
Round and round I go!!!
IF....We had more Doctor appointments
I'd be farther along.
I'm COUNTING my blessings...
but....
Not moving along very quickly here! ;/

This is a product that helps me out!!!
Maybe you know ALL about it already.
My Mother-in-law didn't....
so I thought I'd mention it to YOU!

I just press my finger on the thread...
pull it through over the "thread heaven"
and
VOILA!!!!
No MORE knots as I sew along!!!!
It's great for ANY hand sewing project.
;)


One of the ONLY problems with this product is...
IT'S WAY too small!!!
It's always getting LOST in my sewing bag!!!

Hawaiian pillow

My Mother-in-law wants to make a pillow......
Hawaiian STYLE!
This is NOT a project I would have ever chosen on my own....
but when sweet Mother-in-law wants something....
then sweet Mother-in-law gets it!!!! ;)
I'm making one so that I can help HER make one.
We've made a few quilts together and I enjoy
the process and the time we're able to spend together
doing something fun!!!

There I was needleturning this yesterday as I sat in a hospital room
with a relative......
Thinking....
 I don't see too many quilts using this pattern in blogland.
Well!!!!!
Look what I saw when I got home from the hospital!
Victoria is making THIS!!!!!
NO...it's not Hawaiian quilting....
But it IS
AMAZING!!!

Here's the pattern my Mother-in-law and I are using.
Simple.
Victoria sure has me thinking about
some possibilities though!!!
Next up...
I need to begin handquilting this.
:)
