The Hawaii Quilt Guild was established in the 1984. In 2025, we are entering into our 41st year, after celebrating our 40th anniversary last year. We currently meet at the Toho No Hikari Temple (3510 Nuuanu Pali Drive) on the fourth Monday of each month (with the exception of December).
Our mission is to preserve the traditions, culture and history of quilting, and to promote the knowledge and understanding of the art of quilting through continuing education services for members, public education activities, and community service projects. Our members are dedicated to providing quilts, pillowcases, bags to various organizations within our community. This support is a continuous effort by the generosity of all members. We celebrate National Quilt Day in March by coming together to sew projects for the various organizations we support and enjoy camaraderie as quilters.
We share the skill and creativity of our members by showcasing their completed projects in our Annual Hawaii Quilt Guild Quilt Show; to include a variety of categories with quilts, wall hangings, clothing and more. We select a member of the Hawaii Quilt Guild to present their works as the Featured Artist each year. Their talent is an inspiration and motivation to anyone who wants to join enter the world of quilting.
We invite you to join us in this collaborative effort to share our love of quilting and learn about all the various styles of quilting we have within our organization and share your knowledge and enthusiasm about quilting. As a member, you will receive the latest news on educational classes, charity collections, block of the month, quarterly challenges, and our yearly events. Hope to see you at an upcoming meeting!
