Question:
We will be going to Hawaii in January 2010. First stop Maui - don't know which other islands yet but it's easy to fly from one to another.
Where are the quilt shops?
Many thanks.

-Fabric Impressions, Kilawea Kreations, The Quilt Hut, The Needlework Shop,The Mauii quilt shop, etc...:)I think you will be good!:)Check for one of these online and see if they do a shop hops over there. Bet there are some that are not heavily advertised! Do you plan on sewing a hawaiing quilt? Did I even spell that right?LOL I use to not care for those...but, they are slowly growing on me and I find them fascinating! Skeat

I recently did a project from the Kalona shop you mentioned. To be honest there are not too many shops that I don't enjoy going into as my stash will testify to that!
Happy Quilting! jkraft21

The quilt shop closest to me is Crafty Corner Quilt and Sewing Shoppe in Worthington, MN. Ken and Zuby have lots of beautiful fabric. Another favorite is Quilting In The Country in Bozeman, MT. (I know of this one from visits out to my sisters, all of whom migrated to MT from MN. One of the sisters works part-time at QIC.) Another neat quilt shop in the Bozeman area is Quilts On Broadway in Belgrade, MT (at least I think it's in Belgrade!). It is a square, two-story house filled from basement to second floor...every room...with bolts and bolts of quilting fabric! I hope soon to be visiting good quilting friends in Albert Lea, MN, and checking out LQSs in their vicinity.

You lucky Terry. My H and I were there twice. First time we took a seven day cruise around all the islands. First thing I did was look for fabric much to my H's bewilderment. There were VERY few independent shops. Only found three on the less populated islands. Believe it or not, the best place I found was the Singer shops with loads of island fabric at $5.95 a yard. I bought a bunch.
