As you explore the island, you’ll see jagged lava fields immersed with new vegetation, providing an amazing contrast of Hawaii's Big Island’s diverse landscape. To see the lava flow glowing at night is an incredible experience you really shouldn’t miss! Yet the molten lava is just one of Hawaii's Big Island’s hot attractions – there are also cool shops in Kona , coffee plantation tours, excellent golf on the Kohala Coast , and the quaint town of Hilo , where you’ll feel as though you’ve gone back in time. > explore Hawaii's Big Island Arts Season is All Year Round on Hawaii's Big Island. Artists of all kinds find the Big Island seductive. They find inspiration everywhere to paint, sculpt, sing, dance, write. Creative expression is an especially heartfelt kind of aloha. And even if you can’t draw a straight line, or have two left feet, you can still appreciate the continuously-changing lights and shadows, the mind-bending contrasts -- riotous exuberant forests snuggle up to somber, desolate lava fields. the glorious palette of flamboyant flowers, and the subtle tints and hues all around. Or it just might be the strong currents of spirits and spirituality underlying daily life. Whatever it is, art is part of island heartbeat. It is all seasons, all life.

Kojima, Star-Bulletin Lee Wild shows a pattern by the late master quilter, Meali'i Kalama. Below, a quilt on display this weekend. Stitches in Time One of the goals of the Hawaiian quilting festival this weekend is to perpetuate the cultural art form By Catherine Kekoa Enomoto Star-Bulletin IT'S a quilting bee to beat the band. This weekend's inaugural Hawaiian Quilt Festival at Blaisdell Center offers a patchwork of activities. Displays, exhibits, demonstrations, lectures, workshops, a marketplace and hands-on practice cover each step in the quilting process - pattern tracing, cutting, laying out, pinning, basting, hemming or appliqueing, and quilting. "We'll have old quilt patterns and dressmaker's tracing paper for purchase at $2 for a two-yard sheet," said Augusta-Helen "Aunty Gussie" Bento, president of the Hawaiian Quilt Research Project and co-chair of the three-day festival. "It's enough to trace one large quilt design and a couple of small designs. The patterns themselves stretch out to 40 or 48 inches." Bento said different quilt patterns will be available Saturday and Sunday, plus pencils for general use. "Then, people will be able to quilt on a horse that's there for community quilting," she said. Oahu and neighbor island quilters will lead workshops, such as stencils, Hawaiian tropical placemats, Hawaiian quilt pillow, miniature Hawaiian quilt, and designing a Hawaiian quilt. Cost will range from $26.50 to $75. Co-chair Elaine Zinn said festival goals are three-fold - "to help the public understand what the Hawaiian Quilt Research Project is about, to perpetuate the art of Hawaiian quilting so that it continues to grow, and to let people know how to take care of their quilts, because our environment and insects are so threatening to textiles." The 16-year Research Project has documented and registered more than 900 quilts and 700 quilt patterns on all islands. People will be able to sign up at the festival for future registries. "The project is important to preserve the history of Hawaiian quilts," said Zinn, who produced the 13-part public television "Hawaiian Quilting" series, "and to preserve the actual quilts that are still with us, so they will last a few more generations. They are very precious." "It was the greatest show of friendship to share one's quilt patterns," said Elizabeth Akana, who can conjure a genteel picture of tutu (grandmothers) with flowers in their hair, gathered on a porch to share snitches of gossip and stitches of colorful threads. "The quilts are enlightening us about our history and bringing about a love of history, because when you're dealing with a quilt you've got to have love in your heart," Akana said. Meanwhile, people can take their own paper and pencil, and trace quilt patterns at Waianae Library, which has a prodigious collection of 400 patterns, with more patterns yet available at Kailua Library and Brigham Young University-Hawaii collections. Akana said of Hawaii's unique quilting process and product: "We're looking at love in fabric and thread."

Of all of the Hawaiian islands, Molokai is most like the Hawaii that was first discovered, long before the tourist industry existed, and is nicknamed the friendly island. Kaunakakai, the largest town on the island, has most of the shops which are small and family-owned. Additional shopping, more for unique and natural souvenirs of the local culture, can be found in the smaller villages of Maunaloa and Kualapuu. Exploring the incredibly beautiful mountainous coastline from the back of a mule, visiting a macademia nut farm or coffee plantation, kayaking, catching fish on an escorted tour, or hiking through a rain forest are just some of the many unique activities that bring visitors to Molokai back for return visits. A variety of lodging options is available on Molokai from vacation condos and beachfront accommodations to family-owned bed and breakfast inns where you will get the fullest experience of the local culture. We have organized our listings of Molokai's local hotel accommodations into several geographic areas and alphabetically.

Area Facts : Kalaupapa, a small, isolated peninsula on the north side of Molokai, was a rough, rocky and inaccessible area where migrant workers in the 1800s stricken with leprosy (now called Hansens Disease) were abandoned. Leprosy was eradicated with sulpha drugs in the 1940s, and this area is now a National Historic Site of the U.S. Park Service where access is available only through a limited number of escorted tours. The area code for the Hawaiian Islands is 808.
