The sixth largest island, Lanai is completely volcanic in origin. Located in the center of the Hawaiian chain, it is most famous for the huge Dole Pineapple plantation. Lanai boasts one of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches at Hulopoe Bay. You can also see petroglyphs at Luhiwa, and explore the ruins of Kaunolu Village near the favorite fishing spot of King Kamehameha the Great. The island's name translates to "day of conquest," and its unusual beauty contrasts from vividly colorful and lush to forbiddingly stark and striking.

Hawaiian Quilting - LoveToKnow Crafts Log in Hawaiian Quilting From LoveToKnow Crafts Hawaiian quilting is a distinctive art form using brightly colored fabrics and elaborate stitching. They often incorporate images of indigenous flowers and plants, and are truly stunning masterpieces of fabric and thread. "/wiki/Image:Callalilypillow200.jpg" class="image" title="Hawaiian Quilt" Table of contents 1 History of Hawaiian quilts 2 Hawaiian sensibility in quilting 3 Making your own Hawaiian quilt 4 Related articles "/w/index.php?title=Hawaiian_Quilting&action=edit&section=1" title="Hawaiian Quilting" History of Hawaiian quilts According to ( http://www.quiltshawaii.com/tradition.html ) , quilts evolved as an art form in Hawaii rather than a necessity, because the climate is mild. Hawaiian quilting really is different from other types of quilting in three basic ways: Whole pieces of cloth are used for the designs, instead of pieces like other quilts. Only two colors of fabric are used. The motif is cut using the “snowflake” method. The design motif is echoed in the quilting. Missionaries to the islands introduced quilting to the native women. Because they didn’t have scraps of fabric lying around (since indigenous clothing often consisted of wraps made of whole cloth) they developed their own methods of quilt design. Missionaries also influenced the way Hawaiian quilts are cut. The design part of the quilt is cut out in the same way that a child would make a paper snowflake. The fabric is folded several times and cut along the edge, ensuring that all sides of the design are symmetrical. "/w/index.php?title=Hawaiian_Quilting&action=edit&section=2" title="Hawaiian Quilting" Hawaiian sensibility in quilting In addition to having a different reason to make quilts, Hawaiians also tend to have a different attitude about making quilts. Not merely a utilitarian item, Hawaiian quilts reflect the beauty of the world around the quilters. A beautiful, well-balanced design was considered a gift, and the spirit of the person who made the quilt was said to live on in her work. Thus quilts were often destroyed when the quiltmaker died so her soul could be at peace. Because of this, and the salty, humid environment of the islands, many old Hawaiian quilts are no longer in existence. Those quilts that still exist often are kept within a family and not often seen by outsiders. It is a recent occurrence that Hawaiian quilting has been openly taught and shared. "/w/index.php?title=Hawaiian_Quilting&action=edit&section=3" title="Hawaiian Quilting" Making your own Hawaiian quilt If you don’t have the luxury of going to Hawaii and taking a quilting class from a master at the craft, don’t worry. You can find a treasure trove of information about the craft on the Internet. Here are some good resources. ( http://www.quiltshawaii.com/howtosub.html ) has a good tutorial and video about Hawaiian quilting. ( http://www.nvo.com/poakalani/files/ ) has instructions for Hawaiian quilts, as well as tips, hints and instructions for cutting out your pattern. If you’re ever in Honolulu, this is the place to take quilting classes or see a demonstration, as well. ( http://members.tripod.com/~Honu_Hale/ ) has a lengthy tutorial on Hawaiian quilting, and includes patterns that you can buy. ( http://www.quilthawaiian.com/hawaiianquilting.htm ) offers all sorts of tips and instructions on Hawaiian quilting, including such good information as how to avoid fraying when working on your appliqué. Hawaiian quilts are like a living art form. Each quilt is unique and carries the spirit and emotions of the person who designed and made the quilt. The spirit of generosity and attitude toward life found in Hawaiian quilts and their quilters is something that quilters everywhere and in every style can adapt to their own quilting projects. Remember to quilt with your heart, and put something of yourself into every project you do, and you will be quilting in Hawaiian spirit, if not Hawaiian style.

Air Hawaiian

Faleomavaega Disappointed With Hawaiian Air May 9, 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WASHINGTON, D.C. CONGRESSMAN FALEOMAVAEGA EXPRESSESDISAPPOINTMENT WITH HAWAIIAN AIRLINES DECISION TO INCREASE FARES FOR AMERICANSAMOA Congressman Faleomavaegaannounced today that he is very displeased with the recent fare hikes forflights to and from American Samoa. The increases were announcedthree weeks ago with little warning to the residents and travel agenciesin the territory. The Congressman has written to the President andChief Operating Officer of Hawaiian Airlines, Mr. Mark Dunkerley, requestingan explanation. In early April I received a letterfrom a concerned constituent communicating that the fare hikes not onlywere substantial, but completely unanticipated, providing travel agentsand travelers little time to prepare for the transition. We havealso come to learn that Hawaiian Airlines, the only commercial passengerairlines operating between Pago Pago and Honolulu, raised fares only betweenHawaii and American Samoa, but not to any other destinations, the Congressmansaid. In mid April, Hawaiian Airlinesdrastically increased its fares to and from Pago Pago and Honolulu by atleast 26%. The new fares are now 16% higher than comparable routesfrom Apia to Honolulu on Polynesian Airlines, and 31% greater than faresbetween Papeete and Honolulu on Hawaiian. Furthermore, fares to otherU.S. destinations on Hawaiian have remained unchanged. While routes originating in Honoluluon Polynesian and Hawaiian Airlines admittedly have comparable fares atpresent, prices for tickets in the opposite direction, that is originatingfrom American Samoa, are significantly higher on Hawaiian compared to othercarriers operating in the South Pacific. These are the changes thatare affecting the residents of American Samoa who frequently travel toHawaii. I believe these changes are inexplicably unfair. The people of American Samoa deservean explanation, and I too expect Hawaiian Airlines to respond to my concernsregarding this issue. As the only commercial passenger airline operatingin American Samoa, Hawaiian Airlines should be cautious to prevent theimpression that they are behaving like a monopoly, the Congressman concluded.
