Aloha! Here is part 2 of my Kauai trip photos and some quilty stuff, of course!

Let’s start with the quilty…I visited my mom over the weekend and was able to deliver her much anticipated fat quarters! Here are the colorful fat quarters she is using to make boxed bags and some 7″ squares of Hawaiian fabric. There are about 60 squares there, 30 of each of the two prints. I can’t wait to see how pretty her bags are with these!

In the way of progress this week, I’m not making much. The girls go back to school on Wednesday and I’ll start the task of reorganizing Quilt Cabana Patterns and setting some work hours to stick by. I did make this Avengers pillow case though for an upcoming comic show in September.

Today I’ll show you some pictures from the beautiful town of Hanalei. This is the Hanalei bridge that you take turns with oncoming cars to get across. Local courtesy is to let 5-7 cars go across the bridge and then it is your side’s turn. I only saw one instance where more cars went across than should have. It’s a cute bridge with a stunning view of the mountain ridge and taro fields.

This photo one side of the road in Hanalei where we spent time shopping and eating. Hanalei is a charming town and we really enjoyed it. I love the mountain ridge and how you can see all the waterfalls that cascade down from it.

One day we took the 2 hour ride to Waimea Canyon. This is called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Kauai like the other Hawaiian islands are the tops of volcanoes that have formed in the ocean. While Kauai was being formed, part of the island collapsed and left a deep impression which is the Waimea Canyon. It is beautiful to look at but you better watch your step near some of the look out spots as you could easily go tumbling down into the canyon.

I love that there is waterfall in there too…

Here are the girls living the life…lol!

Have a great day, everyone.
