Officially, Hawai'i became a state on August 21, 1959; however, Statehood Day is celebrated on the third Friday in August. So, this is Hawai'i Statehood Day.

This beautiful handmade quilt was created in the late-19th century to the early 20th-century by a quilter whose name is unknown to us. How talented s/he was! How much s/he loved her homeland!
