Happy Independence Day

Looking for something to do on the beach this holiday weekend? How about traditional Hawaiian quilting?

These ladies took a free class at The Maui Quilt Shop and were happily sewing away when I passed them on my walk this morning. As vacationing beginners, they told me, you didn't have to make an entire bedspread. Instead you could create a single panel to be framed or to use as a pillow.

Or if you are feeling a little more laid back, you could always dangle your toes in the water. Mmmm. Sounds good.
