Hawaiian Quilt

[Beachboy]

My wife has been making Hawaiian Quilt for about 5 or 6 yrs now. She use to attend a class through the Park & Rec in Honolulu. Does anybody know where there are Hawaiian Quilt classes here in Puna or Hilo?

Kilauea Kreations in Volcano (808 967-8090) would be a good resource for your wife. Terrific, interesting, friendly little shop with heaps of quilting paraphernalia (and other cool stuff) right next to the Lava Rock Cafe in Volcano.

Another cool resource?

And finally, this wonderful place (worth stopping by just for the fun/beauty of it one day, if for no other reason) seems to have quilting activities every Sunday and every other Wednesday:

This week's activities section of the Herald-Tribune listed a quilting group that meets at the community center in Kea'au. Think they met yesterday, don't remember if it said weekly, monthly, whatever. When I get a minute I'll see if I can find the notice and get you the phone number.

The Hawaiian Quilting Club (Kapa apana O Hawaii) met march 3 9-12 am at the Keaau Community Center. "Kapa Apana P Hawaii invites members of the community who want to learn to sew a Hawaiian pillow or quilt to attend. Center is located behind the Keaau Police Dept." the listing also has a contact foro Merci, but I will ask you to email, rather than put the phone # on the web.
Also there is a quilt store on Kamehameha (bayfront) that has lessons, might even have a club - Fabric Impressions 961-4468, and the Fabric Warehouse on Hwy 11 ( www.gotfabric.com ) has all sorts of lessons & such, they may also have quilting club or lessons... you may even want to check Ben Franklin. I do know that quilting is big here (my quiliting mother in law has a blast when she visits...)
Aloha, Carey

thank you all for the info! My wife will be very pleased to know that there are several places which to possibly go.

Carey posted the article I was talking about although I'd've posted the phone number too -- it was in the newspaper, after all. Anyway, good luck. I have a friend who is an avid quilter coming to visit in April and it's nice to know there are so many choices out there. Aloha.

Carey, do you know if Keaau Community Center has a web site? I'd like to know their schedule for things like "Hawaiian Quilting", and other rec stuff?
