I'm in Kona now. Spent last week in Maui and a week here. The people at Sew Special (Maui) and Quilt Passions were great, as were their shops. I love the spirit of those types of local shop. The larger discount fabric store has some nice items, but the staff were downright rude. I left several chosen bolts uncut and departed. Hilo and Kileau Kreations today - also helpful staff and excellent selections. Tried to find the one in Volcano City, but somehow it eluded me. We have a 1.5 days left, so I may look for the South Kona shop also. Did I mention the need to stop and buy an extra suitcase?
