When the years swiftly pass us by and our eyes and hands age with time the amazing quilting ladies of the palace always offer a helping hand for our kupuna. Thank you Naomi of Kobe Japan who is a certified instructor for cutting out “Our” Wilma’s quilt and for all the ladies who took the time from their own work to help lay-out and pin the quilt. Wilma now has another quilt to keep her busy. The Night Blooming Cereus designed by John Serrao.

Laying out the quater fold on the background fabric.

John helping to lay out the half design.

Sometimes you need the extra scrap of fabric that you cut out to refill in the design to lay it more precise.

The quilt at it’s full design and making some careful adjustments
