The Calico Cat
Honolulu, Hawaii · Ships online too · Since 1982
A long-running Honolulu quilting shop stocking over 1,500 fabric bolts from major quilting brands since 1982.
The Calico Cat has been a Honolulu fixture since 1982, stocking more than 1,500 fabric bolts from major quilting brands. A shop that's been open more than four decades has necessarily seen the quilting world's trends come and go and kept its shelves current through all of them.
Sewing classes keep the shop active as a teaching space, and the mail-order service dates back to an era before online shopping was the default, which tells you this shop was already thinking about customers beyond Honolulu long before that became standard practice. Quilting notions round out the inventory for whatever a project still needs.
More than forty years in one location is a real number in fabric retail, where storefronts open and close more often than anyone likes to admit. If you're in Honolulu, or shopping by mail from off-island, The Calico Cat has the track record to back up the trip or the order.
