This store is amazing! The ladies were very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. I am a beginner crocheter and was looking for some yarn. They have a wide selection of yarn that is unavailable on Oahu. They even carry locally made yarn which was beautiful. They have lots of beautiful quilts hanging on the walls as well as crochet and knitted items as well. They even have binders of free patterns that you can take home with you. I was blown away! The store is beautiful to be in, so neat, organized and colorful. I wish I was into quilting so I could buy some of their colorful fabric! There is an ample parking lot so parking shouldn't be a problem. There is an iPad in the store where you need to punch in your license plate for 90 minutes of free parking. The yarns were reasonably priced. I ended up buying 2 skeins to crochet some butterflies. Highly recommend this store for your quilt, crochet or knitting needs. I only wish we had a store like this on Oahu! read more

Excellent, intelligent and friendly staff. I come in and ask questions and for guidance. Love that on Saturdays a group of people meet at Jamba Juice and there is a knitting course at the library. I love the location. I like the value and selection as well. read more

Very kind service! I was there for knitting yarn and supplies, of which there is a limited but thoughtful selection. The fabric and quilting options were great. read more

I was visiting on Kona and came across this fabric shop, I was looking for a crochet hook as I forgot to pack mine. I spoke with a lovely woman, Michaelanne she was extremely helpful .I will definitely stop by again when in Kona,HI read more

I'm a relatively new quilter and went in with the idea of purchasing some local fabric, and learning Hawaiian appliqué. I have to say the range of fabrics, notions, patterns and kits is INCREDIBLE!! I left with three kits and spent a little over $100. But there was a $400 kit that caught my eye as I was leaving.... But I was brave and ran away before I could do anymore damage to my credit card. The lady behind the desk was kind, patient and welcoming. She answered all my questions and gave me some great advice about the patterns I had picked. read more

Amazing shop ceeated and curated by expert Hawaiian quilters!! There is a quilt museum next door - quilts from the early 1900s. Awe-inspiring!! read more

Service was great, lots of options, had fun chatting and looking at everything. Unique fabric patterns

So rude and unfriendly! We walked in and the employee was having a conversation. She didn't even acknowledge us. No hello, no be right with you in a second, nothing. I looked around and was very interested in the quilts as well as the classes and museum so I lingered to give her an extra opportunity to show some aloha spirit. None came. We walked out and not even a bye or have a good day. I saw another quilt shop and will go there next time. read more

Shop has moved to Ali'i Drive across from the Kona Pier. If you face Big Kahuna restaurant, go to the longest building on the left. The shop is located behind the surf shop. Unfortunately, the quilt museum is temporarily closed. read more

The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I came in looking for a solid medium gray fabric for a current project. Unfortunately they didn't have it so I browsed around the shop and fell in love with all the fabulous quilts and fabrics. You must stop by to meet the owner, she is lovely and is willing to stock other fabric lines. Sherri Parker read more

Mom is loving quilting and this was a must when we stopped on this island. She was so excited to get specifically made fabric. We walked around this tiny store for awhile. There was lots of choices and the people were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the colors and patterns all around the store. I wish I knew what else to share. But if you are into quilting or any kind of fabrics I would give them a stop. I did get a free fabric measuring tape and helped Mom carry out a bunch of fabrics. read more

Quilt Passions - Fabric Stores Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

I enjoyed looking in this store primarily for yarn! She had a good selection for a small shop on the island. For quilters there's lots to look at. I love when I walk into a yarn store and it feels like a treasure hunt! Her prices are great too. Nice yarn for a good price!! read more

After reading negative reviews, I was very skeptical about going in. What I have going for me is being a minority. Sales people always want to know if they can "help." (Yeah, is she a criminal or a legitimate customer? Profiling does exist, people.) But alas, they were very helpful. Too helpful. I walked out spending over $200. So many new style fabrics and patterns that appeal to different generations. I can say this with conviction because I had my very opinionated, twenty year-old with me. read more

Very nice and helpful staff. Tons and tons of cute cotton prints perfect for island living. All very clean neat and organized. Prices a bit high compared to mainland but not unreasonable. read more

Great fabric, great service. Love the variety. Will return. The ladies helped me find what I needed. Also shared locations of more fabric stores. read more

Soooo many beautiful fabrics, mainly island patterns. It's so fun to look around at them all. The ladies are so kind and helpful. read more

I'm not a quilter but this store is impressive! Stopped in to pick up a gift for a friend and was amazed at the variety of patterns and fabrics, Hawaiian-themed and otherwise. Staff was extremely helpful! read more

I went to a quilt show in San Bernardino, CA in September 2021. Quilt Passions had a booth there that I visited. I was going to purchase one of their 3 x 1 yd precut fabric but didn't. Months later I decided to try and make the purchase. Their website didn't have the fabric combo I thought I remembered. I sent an email and Robert replied. After several emails back n forth I decided on a different fabric combo as the original one didn't catch my eye anymore. I placed my order on Friday January 21st and received it in the mail today January 26th. Very fast delivery from Kona HI to Anaheim CA. I hope to someday visit their shop in person. Until then I will definitely work with them again when I'm looking for a Hawaiian print. I love the idea that some of the fabrics are exclusive to them only. That makes the quilts I make more one of a kind. Thank you Robert for the best service and patience while I decided what I wanted. Mahalo Norma read more

Quilt Passions - Blue tropical exclusive fabric only available at Quilt Passions - Fabric Stores Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

My sister & I visited Quilt Passions today. We have visited the store numerous times before. My sister went specifically to sign up for a class & purchase fabric. No one in the store seemed interested in helping her. It was a crap shoot if anyone would even cut her fabric. Also signing up for class seemed to be a chore. "A deer in the headlight look" Perhaps everyone was having a bad day. We will go back & my sister will take the class she paid for. Maybe by then they will be having a better day. read more

This review is for the little gallery they run next door, the Kona Hawaiian Quilt Museum. First off, if you are looking for this, ask at the store. The quilts were amazing, representing a few different techniques and time periods. Also, some good info on quilting history on Hawaii. It is small, but worth it and you are supporting a local society of quilters. read more

Update: I contacted Quilt Passions by email and received my kit along with another kit in the mail today. Happy to see that they finally acknowledged my complaint. The store does have a great selection of patterns and fabrics. Definitely worth stopping in and checking them out. read more

In a small attempt to assuage my desire to actually be in Hawai'i, I've ordered masks (twice) from Quilt Passions as they offer a lovely selection of fabrics and styles. Not only have the masks arrived more promptly than almost anything else I've ordered (from the mainland!) in the past few months, I was incredibly impressed with a refund from the basic shipping charge as the actual cost to mail was less. That's aloha at it's finest! The store has a wonderful selection of interesting fabrics on line. Highly recommended! read more

A great selection of yarns and everything else you need for sewing, quilting, needlepoint and more.

Great store and located right next to the quilt museum. Highly recommend both if you're a quilter or simply want to know more about the rich history and tradition of the Hawaiian quilt makers. Lots of fabrics, supplies and great kits if you're interested in trying the techniques yourself. read more

This is a lovely quilt shop, with an excellent selection of Hawaii-themed quilting stuff. They have Hawaiian prints in quilting cottons, a good selection of batiks, and lots of patterns and kits for Hawaiian quilts, and for Hawaii-themed quilts and wall hangings and things, as well as needlework kits and supplies, lovely yarn, and more. Their staff was very friendly and helpful--they are especially well set up for visiting quilters and fabric crafters who want a project to take home. They have classes, too. Their prices as normal quilt shop prices. They also sell books and patterns, many with Hawaiian themes. And, they have a nice selection of quilt-related gifts for sale, ranging from handmade treasures to more mass-produced quilt-themed things. If you like quilting or fabric crafts and are in Kona, this shop is way worth your time! read more

Amazing little quilt shop with exclusive fabrics and patterns. Very friendly staff. If I lived nearby I would be a regular!

I enjoyed visiting this shop last year. They have wonderful batiks and Hawaiian inspired kits. I've made a beautiful quilt using the Hawaiian applique I bought here that lights up the room. So happy to find this great shop. My one critique is that they should return phone calls - I was hoping to buy more, but didn't didn't get a call back :-( read more

Great store! Lots of samples, and little things for sale. Beautiful fabrics. Nice staff. The Quilt Museum next door is definitely worth the $5 entry fee. It is small but it has beautiful quilts (not all antiques). read more

After being stationed in Kansas with the army I learned to quilt and had tons of stores to choose from while there. Moving to Oahu I have missed the creativity of the ladies I had to say goodbye to. Amazing Hawaiian/ocean themed choices, quality thread choices, quality yarn for knitting/crocheting, beautiful fabrics, new ideas, new designers/ it was a lot of fun and hard to make choices. Only down side for me is they are on the Big Island and I am on Oahu. I'm Really entertaining the idea of their quilt on the beach event for next year. They do ship so will be revisiting via the internet! read more

When deciding what island to retire to, a top priority was access to quilt shops. The Big Island has many, so we settled here. Quilt Passions is my favorite! They have a great fabric selection, including some fabrics that are unique to the shop. There is a good collection of Sashiko supplies and yarn. Also great classes, and an awesome Quilting on the Beach event. read more

I was on a cruise and one of the ports of call was Kona. The location is walking distance from the port and is great for us tourists and fabric junkies. The assortment of fabric was incredible. There were fabrics which I would not be able to find here. The owner of the shop was there and was quite helpful because I did not have my pattern and was able to get me a copy of it once I described it to here. If in Kona again, I would certainly visit this shop again. read more

I loved this quilt store and went back several times. They are conveniently located near the downtown tourist area. I took an applique class there and purchased a pattern and the fabric for it. They carry wonderful batiks and have designed their own signature batik. There is a sale area in the back and I found several pieces there. This is a must-see for Kailua- Kona. read more

I ordered (and paid for) a pattern from Quilt Passions in July. Never received it. I contacted them in October, and at first they were very nice about it -- apologized and said they would send it right to me. Then another message -oops it is sold out, get it to you soon. It is now December and my last 2 emails (one requesting an update and a second requesting a refund) have gone unanswered. read more
