Pineapple

Of course, I had to take Sandy's other foundation piecing class, Pinapple blocks.  I think I like this method of piecing!  Here's some of our results today:

It was a long day and I'm tired!  (Actually, I think we all look tired.)

Dresden Fans

Sandy Corbin was vacationing on Oahu as she and her husband do twice a year.  She always takes time out from waterskiing to teach several quilting classes.  She is great fun and we thoroughly enjoy her.  Last weekend, I attended her Dresden Fan foundation piecing class and had a great time.  Here's one block:

One of the other students, Donna, took three of us (Sandy, Carol, and me) to the monthly Hawaii Quilt Guild meeting.

Orchids

I've been working hard on this Hawaiian Applique'.  I have the echo quilting around the border left to do and the binding.  This one is a wallhanging approximately 42 inches square.  I love doing this type of handquilting.  I just wish my stitches were more consistent!

When I get this one finished, there's about 3 other Hawaiian Applique' projects waiting to be stitched.  My aunt and I had a great time choosing batik fabrics for appliqué' when we visited Kapaia Stitchery in Lihue, Kauai, this summer.  Wonderful store!!

Puzzle Box

I haven't posetd in awhile, but I have been busy!  One of my favorite patterns is the Puzzle Box and I finished two of them to set them aside as gifts.  I left part of the binding unfinished so I could put labels on later.
