Lili'uokalani

Speaking of self expression, read about the last Queen of Hawaii, Lili'uokalani. Read her story here:http://www.iolanipalace.org/history/queen.html
A quilt was sewn by the Queen and her companions during her palace imprisonment. See a picture of the quilt here:http://starbulletin.com/2003/03/10/features/story1.html

Lorna yes you did and it touched my heart in a big way. I was going through a lot then and your sweet afghan made me cry. Thank you so much for your friendship over the years; you mean a lot to me.

About Me

My photo
just a crafty grandma experimenting with all sorts of things. My main interests are paper craft of any kind and quilting/sewing. But I've done leatherwork, polymer clay, on-the-wheel pottery, painted molded ceramics, papier mache, stained glass, plaster casting, linoleum printing, paper making... you name it, I've probably tried it. A few I actually stuck with. :)
