A SURPRISE IN THE MAIL AND PRAIRIE MOON QUILTS

I got the sweetest email from Diane,....she told me she found a book that she wanted to send to me, she was at the store and thought of me. WOW.....WOW.... that is all I can say...is WOW. She sent this wonderful Book of Hawaiian quilts, the history and what the inspiration was behind them. The quilts are amazing just as she is for sending this to me.

She sent this cutest little Hawaiian shirt, I want to make some Diane....you have a tutorial of it? then some wonderful fat quarters. Thanks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!




I was lucky enough to win the giveaway over at . Thanks so much Shelly, I was looking at the patterns and they look fairly simple to read and understand. If any of you have a chance, go on over to her blog, it is wonderful and they also have a website www.prairiemoonquilts.com

    How thoughtful!!! It looks like a great book and I know you will find loads of inspiration from it. I can't wait to see the shirts. Are they the tiny ones that go along with the flip flops?

    Glad it came so soon & you liked it! I can send the instructions for the shirt if you like-I have used them on quilts & pillows. I need to modify the directions-they are awful!

    You are a very lucky girl - and so am I! I received the pattern you sent me today. Thank you so much, Barb. It's beautiful! I can't wait to try this quilt-as-you-go technique.

    It was also so cool to get mail from Pago Pago. It sounds like such an exotic place! :)
