Heirloom Legacy Quilts.
“I’ve invested my emotions into objects that will hopefully last a lifetime for a family, and more. Something to leave behind long after I’m gone!“
“My family and I went to Hawaii when I was 8 years old. Until then I hadn’t really felt that I had any connection to my heritage on my Hawaiian/Filipino side - suddenly a whole world was open to me!! I walked into the lobby of the very famous Royal Hawaiian Hotel and hanging on the wall was a quilt behind a glass case…. Literally, I stood in front of it for the longest time - staring at how it was made, the colours, the motifs… I thought about the women, and their hands on it…each stitch a story!!!!
I feel very privileged that I can put my design into such an ancient tradition, and feel my place in amongst my people, and the story of where I’ve come from! Every time I return to Hawaii, I make a pilgrimage to that place, and to that piece of work.”
Each quilt is hand-stitched by a team of four women in the Phillipines, with lyrics and personalized stories lovingly hand-stitched by Kate herself.
