Later, introduced to the fabrics and sewing techniques of American missionaries, islanders developed the elaborate appliqud flower, leaf and vine designs that have become the hallmark of a "Hawaiian quilt." Today, quilts are being made throughout Hawai'i by women and men of all ages, professions and ethnicities who stitch away in quilt shops, in classes and at home. Many of today's quiltmakers combine design motifs from the past with creative ideas of their own, producing textiles as unique as the artists themselves. Helen Friend is one Hawai'i artist whose quilts reflect current events and contemporary vision. A passionate needlewoman since the age of five, it wasn't until 1985 that she discovered quilting as a form of expression. While her large quilts and hangings honor traditional patterns, she prefers to explore her own ideas and create something totally new. "Every quilt should have a reason behind it; that's where the mana (spiritual power) comes in," says Friend. Friend has drawn inspiration from the challenges of major competitions, from nature's power, from news articles, from conservation work on historic textiles, and from class assignments at the University of Hawai'i fiber arts program. Since her first quilt 10 years ago, Friend has tried to make a quilt a year to enter in local, juried mixed-media exhibitions. Her first piece, Liberty Quilt, represented Hawai'i at the Great American Quilt Festival in 1986, a competitive show held in New York to celebrate the Statue of Liberty Centennial. After Liberty Quilt, Friend turned her attention homeward and created a series of quilts that originate in traditional Hawaiian quilt motifs but depart from rigid convention. Her latest creation is Red Wall, hand-sewn in reverse appliqu. Says the artisan, "The idea first came from a color combination I saw a few years ago. But as I began to work, the catastrophe of Rwanda unfolded. And as I finished the project, the war in Bosnia continued. I like to think that each stitch recognizes a life lost." No matter what project shes involved in, its clear that Friend loves her work. "To me," she says with a satisfied smile, "quilting is a most satisfying way of recording my life."

Create the Ultimate Bath The Ultimate Bath Create your own ultimate bath to soak away your stress and rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit right at home! Feel as though you've just spent an evening at the spa. Soothe your mind, nourish your soul, stimulate your senses and escape the ordinary. Let your cares drift away. Transforming your own bath is easier than you think. Here are some of our favorite suggestions for you. Choose a favorite CD to listen to while you soak. If you use a portable player, be sure it is placed well away from your tub for your own safety. Jazz or other soothing instrumental music is relaxing and wonderful. For something a bit more tropical, try some acoustic Hawaiian slack key guitar, better known as "Ki ho 'alu" here in Hawaii. A few candles or small oil lamps set in a safe location will help create your ambiance, as soft lighting has the ability to set the mood. The soft light from a few candles can really be inviting. I really enjoy a warm bath when the glow from a full moon filters in through the curtains. Aroma has the energy to carry you away, so be sure to add your favorite blend of scented bath salts or bath crystals as you fill your tub. This will soften your bath water and your skin as you soak. If you prefer a more fragrant bath, add just a bit more of your salts or oil to the tub. Just be sure that you don't over do it. Most natural bath and body products are formulated with sensitive skin in mind, but may be irritating if used to excess. A scented candle with a complimentary fragrance can be a nice touch also. Now don't forget to include a glass of wine or sparkling soda to sip while you relax, maybe add some chilled tropical fruit in the summer time. During winter you can always enjoy an exotic coffee and some fine chocolates. Mmmm..... Close the door and take this well earned time to relax! A soft warm shower after you bathe will rinse off any organic botanicals from the bath salts, and a warmed fluffy towel is great to use as you pat dry. You'll emerge a totally new woman, with all of your senses fully nourished. I've learned to cherish the moments like these. Now, if only the water wouldn't get cold! Aloha!
