Kaori Kaneshiro

Kaori became part of our Royal Hawaiian quilting classes about four years ago and we knew when we met her that she was truly special. Her love for Hawaii and the art of quilting was reflected in her enthusiasm, smile and her beautiful quilts. Her stitches are those of a Master quilter and her knowledge of Hawaiian quilting is exceptional. She has truly been an integral part in the perpetuation of the Hawaiian quilt art and we are all proud to call her a friend. Enjoy some of the quilts by Kaori
