Yokohama 2017 – Island Flowers

Posted on October 16, 2017July 6, 2023 by Cissy

We’re home from the most amazing Hawaiian quit exhibit held in Yokohama, Japan… and here are a few quilts we wanted to share with you.

It was a huge undertaking that started back in 2012 when we first attempted to have all Eight Hawaiian Islands represented in our 2014 Hawaiian Quilt Exhibit at the Honolulu Festival.  Eight volunteers came forward to make  Six 90″x 90″ Island patterns designed by John Serrao and two Designed  by Certified Poakalani Teachers Kimi Kumagai and Nobuko Nakagawa.  All designated island flowers  in their designated island colors. Unfortunately at the 2014 Hawaiian Quilt Exhibit we were missing 1 island. It was a huge disappointment.  So in 2016 after the theme was decided for the 2017 Yokohama Quilt Exhibit, which were the prefecture flowers of Japan,  we again decided again to showcase the Hawaiian Island Quilts unfortunately now the Big Island of Hawaii quilt was no longer available as well as the Oahu Ilima, and of course poor Kahoolawe still needed to be completed.   So again three ladies volunteered to complete the missing quilts but this time they only had one year and they did it in record time.  So after many years  we were finally able to have a quilt exhibit with all eight quilts representing the eight islands and their designated flowers.  We also added the Hawaiian Flag Quilt by Tomiko Okada to complete this section of the exhibit. Please enjoy the beautiful quilts of Hawaii.  All in their island colors as well as flowers.  Thank you to all the ladies…Mie Tashiro, Yoshimi Suzuki, Takako Jenkins, “Hana” Yoko Nakamura, Chikako Asano, Kimi Kumagai, and Nobuko Nakagawa who volunteered their time, money and labor to make this quilt exhibit successful.  Our awesome ladies.  Sorry everyone these patterns are personal designs and  not available on the commercial market
