Sunday, January 22:  The quilters collected plants and designed their tifaifai patterns based on what they had collected and what they had experienced on the tour.  Once they designed their patterns, they basted them onto a piece of material and then cut out the pattern.  The cloth pattern was then basted onto another piece of material.  On Monday,  they spent another 1/2 day in a workshop while Didi taught her special applique technique.  A tifaifai is a lightweight version of a quilt, suitable for the hot Polynesian climate.
