Vacation Finds

Post by Wandatoo »

Hi all
Just back from two weeks in Hawaii and found a great cross stitch store called Fiddlesticks Too. Here are three booklets I bought.

Hawaii - how lovely!! The booklets look wonderful. I'm focused on the Samoan bark cloth one in particular. Great find! :dance:

Lovely patterns, and what a great souvenir -- when you stitch them and when you see the stitched projects you'll be reminded of Hawaii!

:applesauce: :applesauce: What wonderful designs in the quilts and Samoan bark booklets. I love that Samoan bark piece. And the colors of the Fish are beautiful. Hawaii sounds like the perfect vacation location at this time of year.

Yes, Hawaii was great. The people are very welcoming, the weather is great and lots to do. Only hard part was the long trip home (over 12 hours) and coming back to snow . . . although it has started melting.

I found the store online before I left, so made sure to visit. The bark cloth pattern caught my eye too, and should be versatile for both large and small projects. :)

Bad enabler. Bad, bad, BAD enabler.... Sigh. I suppose I could just live in a box and stitch there, living off the odd scrap of bread...right??? :P
