No craft updates today, just enjoying the view before a sunset.

Anyone want to chip in for my ticket to NYC for The Hot Chocolate Festival?

Quilt Exhibit - Hawaiian Flags

Recently, I visited a quilt exhibit.  The Chamberlain House Gallery at the Mission Houses Museum is hosting Hawaiian Flag Quilts: A Legacy of Patriotism. It is a collection of quilts from the late 1800s and the early 1900s that are based on the design of the Hawaiian flag. No photos were allowed in the exhibit but you can see examples here. There were about 10 quilts hanging thoughout the house. My favorite was a redwork quilt done on whole cloth. The exhibit has been extended for a few more weeks, so do stop in if you get a chance.

regular scheduled programing will resume shortly

We have been huddled under the covers recovering from a week full of coughing and sneezing. No progress on any projects to be made.

The only thing that has been done is some uneven mending on our favorite blankets that live on the sofa. My hands want to work on something, but the head is too stuffy to think about any projects. That is how this blanket gets mended. Mindless stitching that accomplishes something. There are parts needs to be patched and the whole thing should be retied. Until then, it keeps us warm when we don't feel well and helps us get better.

Farewell 2009

Farewell to 2009. Here's the photo of a sunset that I used for a Christmas card exchange. It was taken at Magic Island. Seems Magical doesn't it?
