The Poakalani & Co. Website was started in 1996 to share with the general public our Hawaiian quilting experience. We felt that we needed to share not only the finished quilts but also the cultural and especially the teaching aspects of Hawaiian quilting. It was our greatest desire to inspire and encourage others to pick up their own needle and thread and begin their own tradition and cultural legacy. By doing this it is helping to fulfill our mission to preserve the "Art of Hawaiian Quilting". We would like to thank all the quilters for allowing us to share their quilts on this website so we can continue to inspire others to help preserve not only their own personal story and tradition but one of Hawaii's most treasured Art. Thank You
Thank you to the following organizations for their continued support toward preserving the Art of Hawaiian Quilting
All of Poakalani's Hawaiian Quilting Books can be purchased on the Mutual Publishing Web Site.

Congratulations to Hisae Hamada who received her Poakalani Teachers Certificaton on March 3, 2012.
An intergral part of the Poakalani Quilting Family for over 10 year she has completed not only the smaller pillow quilts but the large wallhangings and bed covers. Her quiet persona and humble nature makes her and ideal instructor. We are proud of all her accomplishments and mostly that she is part of our family.

We are sad to announce that Anne's Hawaiian Quilt shop in Waikiki has closed her doors. The ONLY quilt shop in Waikiki her wonderful selection of fabrics and threads will be missed. She was and still is an integral part of Hawaiian Quilting and we hope to see her soon at other quilt shows and exhibitions. Thank You Anne for accommodating all of my quilters and everyone else you were able to assist at your wonderful and unique shop. You are a true ambassador to Hawaiian quilting and thank you for your friendship these past years.
