We had a delayed 40th anniversary trip to Hawaii for the last part of October!! It was 18 months overdue because of health issues & it was our first time to visit. So great! We went to Laie & Honolulu on Oahu, then Kona on Hawaii. I read about Queen Liliuokalani when I was a girl & have always wanted to visit the Iolani Palace in Honolulu, so it was on our list of things to do. We spent a while in the room where she made a crazy quilt while she was imprisoned after being overthrown by the American business owners. This is one of the squares.
Assembling my RSC2025 quilts has not yet begun. (sad face) And even though I haven’t yet finished the tops for the last two quilt group projects, we started a new one this week, so I spent my few hours of sewing time on cutting background fabric. I cut one blue fabric at group & started sewing flying geese for the stars. I put together two of them so that I could feel like I had accomplished something after sewing so many parts.
The good news is that I finished hand binding the last of these four donation quilts this week. The three lap quilts will be going to the Gift Boutique at Festival of Trees for Primary Children’s Hospital & the baby will go to Joyful Welcome for unwed & teen moms at local hospitals in Utah. The red quilts are much cuter in person with the scrappy low volumes I’m famous for using. 🙂
What will next week hold with my limited sewing time? Finish the other 6 fabric baskets, for sure. Then maybe lay out & begin assembling a rainbow quilt! Happy sewing everyone.
Congrats on those FOUR donation quilt finishes, Sue, and best of luck with next week’s sewing goals!
Happy belated anniversary – that sounds like a wonderful trip! Those are some wonderful donation finishes you are showing, too. They’re going to be loved. Happy sewing this week – whatever you work on!
Beautiful donation quilts. Well done!!!
Lovely finishes hanging out on that line.
