A Hawaiian Wedding, A Holiday and A Quilt

On September 7th, My little brother Nath and his beautiful Bride Kalou were married for Time and all Eternity in the Hawaiian LDS Temple. 
Lucky for us they chose Hawaii to get married. 
 
My brother Nath lives in Hawaii, Eden and her husband came from Canada, we had other Relo's come from Canada... and we flew over from Australia. 
It was so great to all meet up and have an AMAZING 3 week holiday together!!
We stayed a week in Waikiki... a week at the Turtle bay Resort and a week back in Waikiki...
Of course... I had to make him a quilt for their new little place and being Hawaii and all.... it had to be beachy!! (Actually, i know he'd kill me if i had made it floral)
and.... what's a beach quilt without a few little beach huts??
For the back of the quilt... i just kept it simple and in the traditional Red and Yellow Aussie Surf Life Saving Colours.
As you can imagine we had such a great time...
Relaxing, shopping, sunbaking, wedding celebrations, dinners, restaurants, walks, snorkelling, and the best part....just all being together.
The happy couple...
The Beautiful bride!...
We love you guys xx
 
 and Kalou....
Welcome to the family!!
I'm SOOOO stoked to have another sister!! xx

    What a gorgeous setting - and the bride looked breath takeing!
    I tried to send you an email before, but it bounced. I was wondering, where do find to be a good source of Kona cotton solids? I live in Sydney.

    Thanks for your help,
    Sheree
