It was a Hawaiian style dress and fabric. Oh how I wish I were still that slim, fresh from High School, nearly (one year in college by that time)! I keep wanting to make a small Hawaiian style quilt too, have some patterns for that too.

I wasn't even quilting yet. Now, though, fabric is always a great souvenir from a vacation. Either that or a skein (or two) of yarn!Susie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983123679473675732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-36692846663306046532019-12-22T15:12:00.417-07:002019-12-22T15:12:00.417-07:00Fabric on vacation?

PLUS... a cotton sarong that can be used for a beach cover-up or for quilting! :o))The Joyful Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706614750500929214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-22656834446775440952019-12-22T12:01:19.049-07:002019-12-22T12:01:19.049-07:00You just reminded me of the fabric squares I purch...You just reminded me of the fabric squares I purchased on our trip to Hawaii.

I always thought either thimbles or those silly little spoons would be fun, but then you have to have a place to put them.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-51216817628293164912019-12-19T16:26:38.492-07:002019-12-19T16:26:38.492-07:00Hi Melva!

I have some cross stitch patterns but no fabric. Darn it. Next time I hear someone I know who is visiting, I'm going to ask them to look for some. Merry Christmas to you and your family. It won't be long and the sew along will begin. Woot woot! ~smile~ RoseanneHome Sewn By Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943739387560629258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-20320114267072686412019-12-19T10:37:04.585-07:002019-12-19T10:37:04.585-07:00I used to buy place mats for souvenirs.

When Tu-Na Helper and I were in Hawaii in 2012, we stopped at Hilo Hatties where your girls purchased that bundle. I sure didn't see any fabric or else I might have bought some, too. I do enjoy reading your posts as you relate some great stories to your projects. Tu-Na Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556292032780405882noreply@blogger.com
