Happy Birthday

I know, I know.

It's not a quilt until it's quilted.

But I couldn't wait to share it with you.

"May I take a picture of your Pineapples?"

Banana pancakes.

Behind every cloud is a silver lining.

Inspiration + Tradition

they say if you toss your lei into the sea, that you will return again to Hawaii

like the lei returns to the Islands on the waves that carry it back to the shore

I think that a quilt of yellow/orange, red, purple, grass green and white

will carry me back to Hawaii

New. Fabric. Designs. Lifestyles.

New Fabric.

There's just nothing like it.

It almost cuts differently, doesn't it?

It feels, well....

different.

I am lucky to have good friends - friends that love staying in my home in Long Beach

and friends to stay with while I travel

while I scour every nook and cranny of Hawaii to bring you

New Fabric.

And new designs.

Farmville isn't just for your pc - or for the coast - or for the midwest.

Farm is everywhere.

Chickens are everywhere.

Green is everywhere.

Veggies, fruit trees, gardens.

Chickens.

(and don't get me started on the cow thing...)

How does your garden grow?  Do you have a hothouse?  A moveable chicken coop to keep the bugs off your lawn?

What have you done since the first of the year to 'green up' your life?

I don't mean, recycle bin, I mean healthy, honest lifestyle.

Please share with our readers around the globe.

And we'll do the same.

Thanks for thinking of

How do you end your day?

How you start your day.

How you end your day.

How you pay tribute to your day.

Your works.

Your efforts.

Your passion.

Are a reflection of you.

And your works.

Your efforts.

Your passion.

Make life count.
