Hawaiian Quilt Collection

"This lovely, nostalgic shop has been selling traditional Hawai‘ian designs—bright and botanically themed—alongside contemporary creations by owner Michael John Gillan for decades. The classic buy is a kapaeke (an heirloom quilted handbag), but you can pick up everything from USB-stick holders to kits that teach the craft. The oldest retail quilt company in Hawai‘i, it has catered to local royalty, as well as Hollywood stars, and pioneered the islands' fabric-art tradition in Japan. Its instructors offer lessons and demonstrations at Waikiki's Beach Walk every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon, as well as at the Big Island's Queens' Marketplace every Sunday from 1–3 p.m."
