Hawaiian Quilts at Queen Emma Palace

In celebration of both The Year of the Hawaiian and the birth of the United States, Hawaii residents and visitors will have the rare opportunity throughout the month of July to view some special Hawaiian quilts, including the Ku'u Hae Aloha (my beloved Hawaiian flag), and two others of American flag design. The quilts are borrowed from the Daughters of Hawaii collection and from private collections. The exhibit is open to the public daily from July 1-31 (closed July 4) from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m., at the Queen Emma Summer Palaee, 2913 Pali Highway. Admission is $4 for adults and 504 for children. The Hawaiian style of quilting has earned international recognition and this exhibit, sponsored by the Daughters of Hawaii, offers excellent examples of the artistry of island quilt makers. Celebrate the Hawaiian — Ho'olako 1987 — is a yearlong celebration in honor of Hawaii's heritage, its people, its culture and the Aloha spirit. The concept of Ho'olako, whieh means "we are enriched," recognizes Hawaii's diverse ethnic cultures and respects the contributions of all the people of Hawaii.
