  Hawaii Quilt Guild. The Hawaii Quilt Guild (HQG), also known as Na Po`e Humukuiki O Hawai`i, was founded in 1984, with the purpose of preserving 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 and public education activities. Since that time, the Guild has grown to exceed 200 members, not only on Oahu, but also throughout the outer islands, U.S. mainland, and foreign countries. Our member profile is as diverse as the traditions of quilting itself. Members range from beginners to accomplished artists with works shown in juried shows across the country, to those with a love for the traditions of quilting. Our members range in age from middle-schoolers to great grandmothers. Hawaii’s cultural and ethnic diversity is displayed in the faces and hearts of Guild members. This diversity adds to the unique mix of learning experiences that HQG offers to all who join and participate in Guild activities. We meet at 6:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month at Central Union Church and welcome our mainland quilting "cousins" to visit our ohana. For more information, visit our website.

  Volcano Quilt Guild - Big Island Volcano Village on the Big Island of Hawaii. Meets 6:00pm on the 1st and 3rd Wed. evenings of the month.  We are a "loose" group of about 15.  Some do Hawaiian quilting.  The rest do everything else imaginable. We love visitors and new members.   We've done field trips, challanges, Project Linus, shows, and a group quilt. Our favorite part of each meeting is "show and tell".  Mostly we support women and their creativity. For more information call Kilauea Kreations at (808) 967-8090.
