Chelsea is the teenage daughter of Tim, the owner of First Uniform, one of our koi retailers. One of the things that makes Chelsea a shining star is her generous heart. Chelsea loves quilting and sewing and makes beautiful quilts, which she often donates to those in need.

Here’s Chelsea with a “koi” lap quilt she made with koi fabrics for an elderly neighbor.

koi founder and designer Kathy Peterson just flew back to L.A. from Hawaii last night, where she hosted koi day at Uniforms Hawaii. But that wasn’t the only big event Kathy attended during her trip. Kathy’s parents, James and Alice Takamoto, who live in Honolulu, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past Sunday. They were joined by Kathy, along with friends & family, who helped them celebrate this very special occasion.

Congratulations, James & Alice on your 50th anniversary! Your friends at koi wish you many more!
