Cruising to Hawaii


My cousin Karin and I have booked a 2-week round trip cruise to Hawaii sailing in March, 2012. We are part of a large quilting group led by Quilt Camp at Sea that will be providing us with notable quilt teachers and classes while on board and at sea.

One of the challenges for the group is to make 12" X 12" quilt blocks with the theme of Hawaii, Cruising, or Nautical for a quilt block exchange. My design is shown here. I managed to get two of themes with the Hawaiin lady and the cruise ship.
This design is done with applique using fusible web and lots of machine embroidery stitches. There are also some ruched ribbon leis attached and a sparkly flower headress.
Can't wait to get on board that ship!

Your Hawaiian pictorial quilt block is fabulous. I just booked on the same cruise, so I have not designed my block yet. Hope to meet you onboard.
