Patricia Lei Murray’s second book, “Cherished Hawaiian Quilts and Other Joys,” is now available. The book picks up where she left off in her first book, “Hawaiian Quilt Inspirations,” released in 2003, chronicling some of the quilts she’s made in the past 12 years and the stories behind them.
Each chapter focuses on a Hawaiian value for living and the particular quilts that illustrate its message. Discover the beauty of our island people and the personal quilts that tell their stories. Hear the tales of childhood that honor family life and spark the creation of memory quilts. Learn the historic significance of the Hawaiian flag quilts that defied the fall of the Hawaiian monarchy. Feel the emotions of being spared by the timely arrival of the Kipuupuu winds and see the quilt that marked that event. These are true stories.
Murray’s work has been published and exhibited internationally. Her joys continue to be in quilting, teaching and writing. She is currently working on a new children’s book.
