We met on Saturday and started a new project. (I started mine before but hadn’t worked on it much.)
Show and Tell
This is my chair. I always get the panda seat.
We all chose the same Hawaiian pattern. Three stitchers want to make cushions, one a wall hanging, and mine will be a little table covering. Everyone had to iron the fabric, cut the paper pattern, cut the fabric design and baste it to the backing fabrics.
There was a lot of ironing.
Tea time
Many people here wouldn’t recognize the words Hawaiian Quilting, but if you mention Kathy Nakajima, they know. She and her son have programs on television and she has books and quilt kits. Her beautiful quilts are featured at every quilt show. Our projects are not as large or as bright as Ms. Nakajima’s, but they will be beautiful.
Hawaiian quilting is relaxing and suitable for all the plans you have for it - cushions, wall hangings and table cloths. I have never tried it, but I thinkHawaiian quilting would look wonderful with a lot of embroidery on top... Personally I find HQ can be a bit boring if it is the only project. I need to have something else to vary it with.
The hostess and the other members are so thoughtful to provide you with a panda seat and lots of sweets for tea time.
Lovely quilt Pamela: It looks like the Hawaiian pattern is lovely, That looks like the cutting is intricate for the design. You always show such yummy foods.
