When I went to Honolulu, Oahu in 1978 for a funeral and visited with the Holt family, an "old" Oahu family, I bought a little Christmas ornament that is made of Tapa paper. Last summer at a yard sale I bought a little lap quilt that a lady had made out of tapa cloth (she used to live in Hawaii). I enjoy it although I am usually into more color in my fabric. I enjoyed this post. Love T
