Are you passionate about quilting? Do you enjoy traveling to Hawaii? Or, have you never had an opportunity to visit Hawaii? Well, I don't need much of a reason to hussle thru the TSA lines and squeeze into an airline seat for a visit to Hawaii. I'll go any day of the year! But if you need a reason, let me share some insights with you about Quilt Passions. I think a visit to Quilt Passions is just the reason you might need to come to the Big Island of Hawaii!
Quilt Passions is owned by Karen Barry, who is very friendly and has great insights about quilting. They've recently moved into a new location (in the same complex), which has allowed them to expand the size of their store. They now have more room to display beautiful quilts (many of which are for sale at very reasonable prices), a lovely classroom, a men's room (with flatscreen tv and remote), a sale room, and spacious aisles of beautiful fabrics and various novelties, patterns, jewelry and other items.
Quilt Passions has an excellent selection fabrics, all beautifully displayed.

Quilt Passions Turtle Fabric {above} is their own exclusive batik turtle/honu fabric. This is an exclusive line of fabric with Hoffman Fabrics.
{above} They also have a large selection of hand-made Hawaiian quilts for sale, at very reasonable prices. If you are interested in owning an Hawaiian quilt, SewCalGal recommends you contact Quilt Passions for more information. They have the most beautiful Hawaiian quilts, table toppers at the best prices I've ever seen!

On a related note, I also want to share that while I'm in Hawaii and checking out Quilt Stores, fabric stores, books, designers, etc., I'm also looking for items for a special Hawaiian giveaway that I'm planning for late May. So, stay tuned. I hope to have a basket full of beautiful Hawaiian items (e.g. fat quarters, patterns, books, etc.). I'll be share more insights on this giveaway late May.
I wish I could be there!!!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt shop sounds amazing!
I love the things you showed from that store. I used to enjoy seeing Lisa Boyer's Hawaiian-themed quilts on her blog but she hasn't posted in months. I"m worrying about her, actually, as she seems to have disappeared from Blogland.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour . . . the gecko is adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I too love Hawaii. My daughter was married there and lived there for four years. In fact my youngest granddaughter was born there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful store....if I ever get that way again, I will have to check it out....I can just see my octopus and turtle quilt hanging in their store....awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! All the pics were fantastic!! Love all of the colors!
ReplyDeleteOh, man, a virtual visit to a Hawaiian quilt shop, and a nice shop, too! I hope you enjoy your visit! I am hoping to do a "postcards from Hawaii" swap this summer in my quilt class. You might want to join in~~ ?
