He was of Cook Island and Tahitian descent and his Mother had these stacked up in her house. Cook Islanders call them Tivaevae - similar name, and made the same way - no batting. My ex MIL loved to show them to me since she knew I was into quilting. She wouldn't show them to other Island ladies though as apparantly the patterns they design are top secret and stolen ;) She did bury her husband in one when he died, so they are very special. <br /><br />It was a tough choice - stay in a horrible marriage and get the quilts or leave and no quilts LOL! You see what I chose!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642660969316877122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-21086149444420355182009-07-30T16:24:41.091-06:002009-07-30T16:24:41.091-06:00Beautiful and very much like Hawaiian Applique qui...Beautiful and very much like Hawaiian Applique quilts!Abby and Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082914470199247665noreply@blogger.com
