I was lucky to go to Kauai and YES I visited the Kaapapa Stitchery store (many times, Jean is a friend to me now!) and bought some of your patterns. I wish I had been able to call you and visit with you. Your quilts are so fun and challenging!I bought the Hunu quilt kit, some patterns of yours and a hawaiian breadfruit quilt kit. I worked on it sitting by the ocean! When I got to the airport, I was working on it. Somehow it got lost. I didn't have my name or anything with it. Jean said if it didn't get turned in, they would replace it. Someone turned it in and it was shipped to me to COLD! COLD! Utah. (We got home to below 0 degree weather and tones of snow! I just finished my first pair of knitted socks!) My comment is to attach your name, address and phone Number to your project in case you haven't lost it in warm, wonderful Hawaii!Kathleen Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201316611574806093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942038667935502908.post-51110099869019337572008-02-18T20:24:00.000-10:002008-02-18T20:24:00.000-10:00Hi Lisa!I found your blog through Mrs. Goodneedle ...Hi Lisa!<BR/><BR/>I found your blog through Mrs. Goodneedle and I'm enjoying it as much as your books.

I loved both your books, and sometimes wonder what quilting project is pining away in your sewing room while you are knitting gloves and crocheting doilies. I remember the chapter "Doily Days" in "Stash Envy". <BR/>In theory I agree with you about "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" but I do love having an excellent stash on hand for when inspiration strikes. For the record, I have made four baby quilts out of cut off shirt sleeves, (I worked for a uniform company, and would sometimes have to transform perfectly good long sleeved shirts to short sleeved. I saved the sleeves for quilts) and my wedding dress was made from curtains 27 plus years ago.<BR/>I'm not quite so jealous of your gorgeous sewing room now that I know large wiggly creatures with dozens of legs like to visit.

In fact, I may have even visited that particular shop on a Shop Hop last year! How cool is that? I've been to the same shop as Lisa Boyer! Those bright Hawaiian colors are really fun and so are your patterns. Maybe you could train some island critters to make the bows for you. Are there any monkeys around? Hehe.

I just love reading it--it is so cheery and colorful--and I love seeing pictures of my beloved birth island! Was born in Waimea, grew up in Honolulu, now live in southern CA. I love the pics of Kapaia Stitchery, because I have been there, recognize some of the people and remember all of the beautiful quilts hanging from the ceiling. Your story about the bows cracked me up!
