Nalani Ohana Association Instructors....No Ka Oi - "The Best"

All of our No ka oi Instructors are now members of NOA "Nalani Ohana Association"

We encourage you to join NOA and enjoy the benefits of belonging to the best Hawaiian quilt association in Japan. Anyone can become a member and you do not have to join any of our instructors classes. Becoming a member entitles you to participate in workshops and events with Nalani both in Hawaii and Japan. NOA will assist and arrange workshops, classes or events for you or your group with ease.

This page is dedicated to my official Instructors in Japan.

These ladies are all "No Ka Oi" (The best) in the art of Hawaiian quilting and teaching. When you learn from the best you become the best yourself.

Why are these ladies "No ka oi"? Because they are the only official instructors in Japan that is trained and certified by our ohana here in Hawaii to teach and use our designs. These ladies have studied for many years and have the knowledge not only of our style and techniques but they also have the knowledge of the Hawaiian culture.

They live and teach with ALOHA and have the mana "Spirit" of Aunty Debbie and myself within them. They have our full support and guidance 100%. There are many Hawaiian quilt instructors in Japan but, our Instructors are No ka oi "THE BEST"....

Each instructor has a current contract and license with NOA to be one of our No ka oi Instructors. It is an honor and priviledge to have them in our OHANA.

Our No ka oi instructors has the right to teach using our designs and templates but they are also encouraged to design and create their own patterns and templates. All patterns and designs that our instructors create is her own design (C) by her. I do not make claims on any patterns that I did not design myself. Each instructor is in charge of her own classes and schedules and a few have their own instructors working under them.

Note* - We are not associated with any other quilt groups or instructors other than those listed on this page. These are our only official instructors.

We are OHANA - We are NOA...
