Kona Bay Fabrics Loves the Geishas

Kona Bay Fabrics has been producing gorgeous Geisha fabrics since its inception in 1991.

This is the red/black colorway from GEISHA ROYALTY and the other blue colorway is equally stunning!

We will soon be releasing the color boards to our hard working sales team who will be showing to quilt shop owners this month.

Quilt Market Fast Approaching

The International Quilt Market is the quilting industry's BIG SHOW and this year the Fall show will be held in Houston, TX on OCT. 29 - 31.

Kona Bay has been attending Quilt Market since our beginning in 1991.

In addition to showing off our latest fabric selections, Kona Bay has always had a special treat for our quilt shop customers and, once again, it will be chocolate macadamia nuts from Hawaii.

I know some will enjoy a licorice whip or a Tootsie roll at other booths, but it is no comparison to Kona Bay's chocolate macadamia nut candy!!

So, if you are attending, please make sure you swing by our booths -- 1220 and 1321 - and check out the new wonderful fabric collections as well as enjoying our wonderful candy from beautiful Hawaii.
