It's spring! And designs are blooming in the new exhibition Regal and Royal Hawaiian Quilts. The Hawaii Quilt Guild will be at the museum demonstrating quilting techniques—they want to meet you and talk story. Then make a mini quilt with fabric, paper, and glue using a pattern from the guild. You can also make a pretty felt blossom.
ACTIVITIES:

Quilt demo (11:00am -3:00pm)
The quilters of Honolulu would like to meet you and to talk story with you about quits. Quilting is a women’s art form that reaches back hundreds of years. It started as a practical/domestic endeavor. Today it is recognized as an art form. It speaks to us of warmth and security and love. WHAT makes it a “quilt”? Come and see.
