I'll see if I can go this week if not next week, my local friend will need to bring me in for the first visit. They will teach you all the "right" traditional ways by Aunties. Many books are "wrong" I've been told, my friend took a couple of my quilts to them. "Lovely, but I'm wasting my talents." Got to love them right?!?

I'm sure they would have relatives or now of a group in the Honolulu area for you to visit. It's all about referrals as you know.
