This year I happened to be on the Big Island of Hawai'i at the right time. There was a Hawaiian Quilt Show as part of the Waimea Cherry Blossom Heritage Festival. The show was put on by Ka Hui Kapa Apana O Waimea. All of these quilts are one of a kind and all done by hand. In addition to local vendors, there was a how to Hawaiian Applique class, Hawaiian music, and Hula. A very enjoyable experience.
Aloha and enjoy the show!
I was also able to copy (for a nominal fee) a large Hawaiian Quilt Pattern. I do enjoy hand applique and this will definately be on my to do list!
Lilia is the pattern I chose.
A little bit of help setting up.
Tracing away!
Mahalo to all who have stopped by to visit this blog!
