Monday Morning Design Wall 6/4/2012

 First, I want to wish my beautiful daughter, Stephanie Elizabeth, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!  The picture to the left was taken just a few minutes after she was born, 3:45 a.m., June 4, 1991.  Below is a picture of my wonderful husband and myself, a day or two later when we ventured out to a park.  (Yes, the glasses were great, were they not!)   If you scroll down, there is a more recent picture of Stephanie!    She is finishing up her junior year at Cal Poly!!  I could not be prouder of her!


Just to celebrate her birthday I finished my quilt top for the Hawaiian Quilt with a Twist.   This top took hours and hours of work but dang, it turned out great.  I am hoping to get it pinned/based and will start hand quilting it soon!  And to think I started this on a whim when I had an hour free on a Thursday night several months ago and it grew into this finished top. I think hand quilt it will just make it better!

  5. Now that's an Hawaiian quilt. I've also made an 'Hawaiian' quilt the last couple of weeks; but it is NOTwhat you expect when you hear 'Hawaiian quilt'. Yours is beautiful.
