Quilts are all about tradition and comfort. Little is more special than having something significant passed down from a family member, something you can continue to pass down for generations. Hawaii’s The Maui Quilt Shop is the perfect place to celebrate family and friendship with one of the store's quilt kits made with the quilting style of the month: memory quilts.

If you want to tell a story through fabric, memory quilting is for you. Creating a memory quilt is simple, and this quilt shop teaches basic quilting skills for everyone. When preparing to make a quilt, the first thing you need to do is select your fabric. There are many different ideas for material including:

• Outgrown baby clothes
• Old high school sports jerseys
• Family reunion t-shirts
• Photos imprinted on fabric

The ideas are endless! Once you select your material, you will begin forming uniform squares depending on your preferred quilt size. Then, all you have to do is sew each fabric square together for a handmade quilt.

Memory quilts can be made entirely of different fabrics or you can integrate pieces of significant material into other fabrics. The experts at The Maui Quilt Shop can even get you started on your memory quilt project. Sign up for one of their two hour introductory classes to learn all about quilting.

Even if you are just visiting Hawaii, making a memory quilt for or with your family is the perfect way to remember the vacation. The Maui Quilt Shop carries a variety of fabric including modern, traditional, and exotic Hawaiian quilt patterns. They have everything you need for quilting made easy.
