Aloha

This is the view that greeted me at breakfast. The whales were not cooperating and did not make an appearance, perhaps later in the day. The weather is wonderful with a cool night and warm daytime temperatures.
Got off my flight yesterday and was warmly greeted by Phyllis. Naturally our first stop was calling into Quilt Passions  where I met owners Robert and Karen, above. I love their shirts which are made from fabric designed locally. Robert is wearing the Big Island fabric. A yard is already in my suitcase! They are organising the 5th Quilting on the Beach, an annual Hawaii Quilt Retreat, February 8-15 and it looks wonderful.
Barbara Bieraugel is one of the talented local designers and teachers at the shop and retreat. She is pictured above with her quilts and patterns. A cruise ship was in Kailua Bay and holiday makers were coming into the shop for Barbara's demonstration and class.
