The Kona Hawaiian Quilt Museum opened in June 2018 on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is the first Hawaiian quilt museum in the state. Its intent is to preserve and share native Hawaiian culture through fabric.
The Museum's mission is threefold:
To collect and display vintage and contemporary Hawaiian style quilts, provide educational opportunities for all ages in the art and culture of Hawaiian quilting, and facilitate preservation and conservation of Hawaiian quilts.
Watch their website for special exhibits including the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival each November.
Next special exhibit: "This is Hawaii" Quilt Challenge sponsored by Hoffman International Fabrics - July 16 - 21, 2018.
(The quilt shown was made using a Pacific Rim Quilt Company Pattern named Woodland Lei designed by Nancy Lee Chong.)
