Thankyou for your compliments. If you plan to make it to the Big Island let me know. I'll let you know where you can buy pillows or quilts that are made here on the island. Of course they will be much more expensive than the ones in the Phillipines :wink:
I figured there were "real" Hawaiian quilters in the Islands. And, I also realized that all the Hawaiian appliqued work we were seeing even though it was beautiful had to be imported because of the price. I wonder what they pay the workers in the Phillipines? It can't be too much. I just wish I could take you up on your kind offer of sending contacts for "real" Hawaiian appliqued work. Your state has to be among the most beautiful and relaxing places to visit.in the world. We have been there twice and I know we will go again in the future but don't know just when. :D
