The Hawaii Quilt Guild is holding its annual show at Linekona Art Academy, 1111 Victoria St., Honolulu, May 11-20, 2012. All the quilts on display are impressive and clearly a labor of love, but these were some of my favorites. I apologize for the poor quality on some of these photos. I was trying not to use my flash, trying to back up far enough to get the whole quilt in the picture, trying to see as many as I could before my meter expired, and/or just not paying good enough attention to what I was actually getting in the frame! You get the general idea though, and if you are in the area, it's a nice (air-conditioned!) break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Stop by, be impressed and inspired, and vote for your favorite.
"My Blue Hawaii" -Wendy Pulsifer
I don't know how you tie-dye a gecko pattern, but Wendy figured it out!
"Traveling Flower Garden/Grandmother's Flower Garden" -Patricia Lei Murray
There are more than 6,000 pieces in this quilt, all of which were hand pieced 100 years ago in Germany by Marie Baumgarten. Patricia is hand quilting it for Marie's great grandchildren.
These African and Japanese prints are the front and back of the same quilt, "The Best of Two Worlds" by Linda Dayag.
"My Father's Garden" -Jeannie Salmon
I love Jeannie's story about learning to design by going out into her yard and picking flowers to trace. Her father only loved anthuriums.
Did you know you could send a fabric postcard? Designs by Barbara Vasold, Sharon Nakasone, Mary Harmon, Ann Boring, Joan Apana, and Arlene Adams.
"Hawaiian Monsterra" -Pat Gorelangton (design by John Serrao)
I love the colors and the design on this!
