Hat and Scarves

One day, years ago, I walked into a shop in downtown Honolulu and on one of the walls there was a display of 4-5 hats with hanging scarves.  It was really striking and the shop owner was kind enough to let my friend and I take photos of the decor.  

Ever since then I've had this hat and scarves hanging in my bedroom.  The hat was a gift (I don't wear hats) and the scarves were also gifts (I don't use scarves either) and together they make a beautiful wall decor~~at least I think it's beautiful.

It's 8 pm and the temp is still 97 with the forecast of low 100s for the next week.  Ugh.

The Winning Quilt

73/365

Last Sunday, at the Altamont Fairgrounds there was an old car show, at which this beautiful quilt was being raffled.  In the spirit of supporting the fundraising event, and on the off chance I would win, I purchased a ticket.

Well.....I won!

It was hand pieced (sewn on a machine), but the quilting was done with a long-arm sewing machine.  Enlarge the pics so you can see the beautiful details of the stitching.  I'll be displaying it as a wall-hanging once I get the casings sewn on the back and get a classy rod to hang it on.
