This lovely quilt shop is 4 miles from the cruise ship Port of Nawiliwili. They stock so many beautiful hawaiian print fabrics it was difficult to choose which I would buy.

Unbelievably beautiful fabric from Hawaii, Japan, Asia and more. They have a large selection of fabulous batiks, Hawaiian floral prints and designs. They have some gorgeous quilting patterns and kits too. You will not see these fabrics on the mainland. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The store has a nice wide porch with chairs for tired shoppers. Come... More

We stopped in here because I wanted to get a gift for my mom (an avid quilter) as a thank you gift for watching my daughter while we vacationed in Kauai. It is such a beautiful store with unique fabrics. I found my mom the perfect quilt kit with lots of Hawaiian fabrics included. I even picked up a premade... More

What can I say, an explosion of colorful fabric, much Hawaiiana, my wife was enthralled and I enjoyed looking around, so guys, treat your wives and girlfriends to a visit, even if none of you sew! My wife purchased great placemats and purses and books unavailable on the mainland. Aloha. Easy to see from the road coming from Lihue, but... More
