Didi lived in Paea, Tahiti and fell in love with the islands and their people.  It was there that Didi learned to applique the Tahitian quilt, the Tifaifai.   She wants to show you her Tahiti as only someone who once lived in Tahiti can.   She will take you to her special places and explain to you all about Tahiti and the Tifaifai.   She will expose you to the magic that is Tahiti - the fragrances, the flowers, the lagoons, the vibrant colors and the beautiful scenery.  Didi will also conduct an all-day workshop and a half-day applique workshop and she will help you design your very own Tifaifai to commemorate your visit to Tahiti and Moorea.
