Aloha from Kauai, Hawaii

Yesterday we had a great time in paradise. We went snorkeling at Poipu Beach. On the beach, was a Hawaiian monk seal which is endangered species. There are only 1,000 of these seals in the Hawaiian islands with about 30-40 in Kauai. The area was roped off because it is illegal to get near them. It was exciting to see on of them. The snorkeling was great with alot of different fish.
We went to the quilt store called Kapaia Stitchery in Lihue. It was a wonderful store with Hawaiian quilting, Hawaiian fabric, patterns etc. Lisa Boyer has several patterns in the shop. She lives in Kauai. She wrote 2 books called That Dorky Homemade Look-Quilting Lessons from a Parallel Universe and Stash Envy. I got a kit of Baby Honu and pattern called Swimmies. I got some turtle batik and turtle fabric. They had a huge white and blue Hawaiian quilt in one window and a quilt called Postcards from Hawaii(which is a Lisa Boyer pattern).
We are going to the Waimea Canyon and West shore today.
