At our local bank there is a great antique Hawaiian Pineapple quilt, so I stopped by to take a picture. Sorry for the glare they have it behind plexiglass and I couldn't ask the bank to turn off all their lights. Since I'm in the Hawaiian quilt mood, here's some Hawaiian quilt lore. 
The center of the quilt is called the piko. Many quilters used this design element as their signature. In the past some families destroyed the quilts when the maker died as person's soul was believed to be with the quilt. I'm very glad the bank displays this wonderful quilt so it can be enjoyed by the public everyday.

This women's sewing group is from Blaine, Idaho a town close to Moscow, Idaho. One of these ladies crocheted this grape cluster collar. Do you see the large grapes on the wallpaper, did those inspire the crochet collar? If only walls could talk...
In case your not sick of politics yet, this picture is also from Blaine, I find it interesting that this was taken in 1912 when Taft ran for president and women could still not vote yet. I can't believe there was a time when what we had to say did not count. 
I kind of felt "up a tree" when I was asked to do a baby quilt quickly as I could for a friend of a relative. Sometimes you are torn in two directions, I would love to make a quilt for a sweet baby but do I have time? Searching the blogs I found 
Here's another great quilt our quilt group made, many hearts make many quilt blocks. The No Nene Quilters heart quilt is being donated to the Heart Association for their fundraiser.
