I was first introduced to Hawaiian quilting in 1990 on a visit to the Bishop Museum in Hawaii and immediately fell in love with it. A wonderful older woman was working on a king size quilt block that she had started over 10 years earlier and was only about 25% finished with the beautiful, intricate design!! Because even a small project would require more patience and dedication than I could muster, I never attempted that wonderful art, but have always been amazed at the skills of those that do. The simplicity of two fabrics enhanced by perfect hand stitching bringing a detailed design to life can virtually take your breath away.
