&Home GardenMaile in Your BackyardBy Léo AzambujaThe endemic maile, alyxia oliviformis, is a twining vine or a sprawling shrub. It’s flowers are green to light yellow, producing an oval and dark purple fruit when ripe. It grows in a wide range of habitats from sea level to elevations of 6,500 feet. A lei made of maile leaves is a symbol of respect, friendship and love. The lei is usually worn open around the neck, and in old Hawai‘i, it was used by royalty. These ripe seeds were collected by Rebekah Magers – who properly had a permit – atop a ridge in Koke‘e. She hopes more lei gardens with maile would help to supply the growing demand, while bringing awareness the plant can be cultivated in backyards. Though propagations is usually from seeds, cuttings can also be used.

PERIODIC COLLECTION EVENTS 8:00 AM– 3:00 PM
More than 200 years ago, an 85-foot brig carrying seven missionaries couples and four Hawaiian boys sailed out of Boston, Mass. en route to the Hawaiian Islands. Five months later, on March 30, 1820 the Thaddeus would arrive in Hawai‘i bringing more than Christianity – they brought quilts. Since then, for the past two centuries, the art of quilt-making in Hawai‘i has evolved into its own unique style, with elaborate local flora and pride. “People tell me they can feel the love in the quilt, especially Hawaiians,” said Lea Ingram, a quilt maker for at least 25 years. She added old Hawaiians would always make quilts with a person in mind. “They always put all their love with every stitch; there was a lot of mana (divine power) in the quilts.” Quilter Jenny Conley said that generally, a quilt is when you stitch together different pieces of fabric to make a whole piece. This piece goes on top, with another piece on the back. “In between those two pieces, there’s what we call batting, which gives it a little bit of texture when it’s quilted,” she said. On Valentine’s Day, the Kaua‘i Quilt Show 2020 opens at the Kaua‘i Society of Artists at Kukui Grove Center in Lihu‘e. The annual exhibit has been running for about 20 years, according to Conley, a quilter for 24 years. Last year alone, she said, there were more than 2,000 people who came to see the quilts.
By Léo Azambuja
“We really bring in a lot of people,” Ingram said. “It’s a free event, and you get to connect with people who live here and see what they are doing. We love it because we get to share what we love to do.” Ingram said she won’t know how many quilts will be on display this year until everyone submits their entries. She expects a minimum of 70 quilts hanging on the walls, but they usually have about 100 quilts from 30 to 40 quilters each year. “They’re all made by local people, and every one is beautiful in their own way, with lots of different techniques and styles,” said Ingram, adding some of the quilts will be hand-stitched, a rarity these days.
The closest thing old Hawaiians had to quilts was the kapa moe, a layered blanket made out of beaten tree bark, usually from wauke, or mulberry tree. The first quilts made in Hawai‘i showcased tropical plants such as ulu (breadfruit), and utilized a single solid color – usually green, red or yellow – against a white background. Some quilts also depicted the Hawaiian flag or the royal coat of arms. The show at Kukui Grove will have a few Hawaiian quilts, along with pieced quilts, “real traditional stuff,” Ingram said. Then there are some “very modern quilts,” and also art quilts, the kind of quilts that Ingram likes to make. “It’s the size of a painting. I start with white fabric and I paint on it,” said Ingram, describing an art quilt. It was exactly her creation, an art quilt titled “Spirit of the Mountains,” depicting Kaua‘i’s mountains from a viewpoint in Kilauea, that snatched the Viewers Choide Award last year.

“Every year, we have the Viewers Choice Award,” Ingram said. “It’s free to get in the show, and you can vote for your favorite quilts.” Ingram said each entry gets at least a couple votes from the public. There no judging in the show, only the Viewers Choice Award. It’s really all about connecting artists with each other and the public, and also raising funds for charity and next year’s show. Though only few quilts in the show follow the old Hawaiian style, the show as a whole has a tropical Hawaiian flair. It’s common to hear from visiting quilters from the Mainland – where quilting has a huge following – that the show on Kaua‘i is their favorite one, and this is because of the vivid colors, creativity and unique
motifs that quilters use here. The first Kaua‘i Quilt Shows were held at Church of the Pacific in Princeville. For the last five or six years, Ingram said, the show moved to KSA at Kukui Grove, which allowed the quilts to be on display for 12 days rather than only a couple days in the previous location. It’s a winner for everyone, quilters, public, quilt clubs and charity organizations that receive donations. “When somebody sells a quilt, we ask for a 10
percent donation,” she said. “We also take donations at the quilt show.” There is also a “Quilt Boutique” at the show, an idea brought up by Conley. The quilters make small items, such as placemats or handbags. Proceeds from the Quilt Boutique go toward expenses in next

Hawai‘i is the story of human courage, endurance, tolerance and discovery. While the first people here came from Oceania, each of those islands was inhabited by a long series of surviving resilient humans from the great diaspora from Asia, southward, island by island, searching refuge for new communities. Two hundred thousand years ago, humans were tiny populations. The Denisovan (Asian) humans and the Neanderthals intermarried, as humans do. The populations of Oceania appear, by DNA, to have been descended from ancient tribes that migrated south via land and ice bridges. Still tiny tribes of strong, wise, survivors. Conflicting stories alter according to DNA finds and human history, and always the victors write the current one, since we all seem to have common survival from African tribes millions of years ago, our ethnic stories are mostly traditional histories. Regardless, Hawai‘i was settled by the most courageous, intrepid, resilient seagoing humans ever. Reaching the most remote islands in the world is beyond understanding. Which is why we revere the traditions of the native Hawaiians and honor the fact they are still talking to the rest of us, after their Queen
Aloha Makes Us Healthy Liliu‘okalani was overthrown by Western colonists. “Mālama Honua,” to honor and protect Island Earth, was the 2015 voyage of Hōkūle‘a, the first traditional Hawaiian voyaging canoe to circumnavigate the globe. Forty seven thousand nautical miles followed by millions. The story of the restoration of traditional navigation without instruments, using stars, winds and currents is the story of the intricacies of native arts and navigation. See www.hokulea.com/worldwide-voyage/ for more, and to learn about Kaua‘i’s sister voyaging canoe www.hawaiipublicradio.org/post/kauai-set-launch-islands-first-voyaging-canoe#stream/0 To know and understand local and native people, requires a respect and humility often missing in all of us. Just as bird watchers must spend hours in patient silence and move through gentle footsteps in the forest; those who want more than just the curated tourist experience must step off the managed resort paths which lead in circles, to get out into the community. The easiest way in to get folks to open up to you is to ask questions about their family and how they got here. Folks love
their families, everywhere. Here the feeling of ‘ohana is deep and extended through hundreds of years of intermingling families. Tolerance comes when your daughter is a mix of two or three ethnicities, and her husband is another five! The people who greet you and serve you, are all heroic, if you care about their journeys. They care for you with a hospitality grown from their family roots, which are steeped in caring for each other.

Friday nights in Hanapepe is a great mingle and mix-up of local foods, arts and crafts, from high end to funky, local street kiosks and food trucks. Music, maps, exquisite jewelry from Pu‘uwai (Heart) Gallery, and the number one bookstore, Talk Story Bookstore. Try the Midnight Bear Bakery, the Bright Side Gallery, Amy Lauren’s Gallery, Little Fish Coffee, and Japanese Grandma’s Cafe. Remember that aloha is a word that works both ways, a two-sided sharing of food, will and friendship. Aloha makes us great.

HAWAI‘I WISDOMOla no i ka pua o ka ‘ilima“There is healing in the ‘ilima blossoms.”The ‘ilima blossom is on of the first medicines given to babies. It is a mild laxative. Hi‘iaka, goddess of medicine in Pele‘s family, used ‘ilima in some of her healings.
Source: ‘Ōlelo No‘eau, by Mary Kawena Pukui
‘Ilima is commonly found on rocky or sandy coasts but can also be in lava fields, and dry and mesic forests throughout Hawai‘i from sea level to 6,500 feet. It was said the ‘ilima was Queen Emma’s favorite flower for lei. These pictures were taken on the coastline of Molokai’s North Shore last summer. Photos by Rebekah Magers

year’s show, and into supplies for the Kaua‘i Quilt Guild and the Nene Quilters, which have about 85 and 45 members respectively. Conley said many quilters make “donation quilts,” which can be bought at the show. Buyers can pick their favorite local charity that they wish to donate money. “They just write a check or give us cash, and the money goes right to that charity,” she said. Last year alone, the show was able to put together $5,410 in donations to local charities, according to Ingram. It’s a lot of work; but who said work can’t be entertaining?
from page 7 “It’s really fun, we have a great time and the money goes to good causes,” Ingram said. The Kaua‘i Quilt Show 2020 opens Feb. 14 at Kaua‘i Society of Artists at Kukui Grove Center. There will be lots of good food and water (no wine, soda or coffee around quilts), and an opportunity to meet the quilters. The show runs daily through Feb. 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Friday until 8 p.m.). The event is sponsored by the Kaua‘i Quilt Guild, the Nene Quilters, Vicky’s Fabrics, Kapaia Stitchery and Discount Fabric Warehouse.
