I went to a great little shop on Maui...took a hand applique class there...and there is THE BEST fabric store there. I think it was called Fabric Mart in Kalului or whatever that cities name is. They are also online.

I am green...can we all come visit you?

Just have a wonderful time! Learn Hawaiian quilting, drink tropical drinks with lots of rum, and enjoy the beach.

Here's a place to start!

Also - be sure to read The Aloha Quilt by Jennifer Chiavarini - set in Hawaii about a Quilt Retreat -you'll love it!

You are a lucky girl!
Too bad I live so far .... but ... will take your bags!
Hahaha!
A hug and enjoy!

Went there twice on our recent trip. They have the most lovely selection of batics and island fabrics. I recall a flyer about quilt guild activities, just ask when you get there.

Thanks, I will do that!

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your great suggestions (and offers to help pack, clean, etc., etc.)! I wish I had room for all to visit. The way we are getting to do this is to rent a very small condo. But if you are heading that way, be sure to let us know. It would be fun to meet and share quilt stories.
Aloha!!

Hehehehe I'll come and help you open a quilt store and B and B lol. Yes, there are quilt stores. I am not sure about guilds but I would think so.

Great Idea! I will check that out.

They could use more quilt shops (not sure I am into B and B's though); so don't tempt me. I think I want to relax and enjoy the island ambiance for a while, though. Happy quilting!
