Vintage Kukui Nut Design. Quilted by Tomoko Kato. I love the colors on this quilt as well as the symmetrical circular design.

Vintage Carnation Design, Quilted by Kimi Kumagai – One of my favorite designs after I saw it completed. I love how the vases were quilted.

Tutu Caroline Correia, Poakalani’s Grandmother was also an avid Hawaiian quilter.  Born in 1886 she moved from Ka’u on Hawaii Island  to Honolulu when she was only 12. Soon after married at a very young age started her family  and began her quilting passion.  Poakalani often spoke of her home being full with women quilting and sharing stories.  Two quilt designs in this past Yokohama exhibit was from Tutu Correia’s pattern collection.  Enjoy the old styling of the Traditional Hawaiian designs.  Thank you to Kimi and Tomoko for quilting  patterns from her collection.  Beautiful designs, beautiful quilts… Made by Beautiful Ladies
