Traditional Hawaiian Applique (IN)

Join me in an introductory class on traditional Hawaiian Applique. This is a handwork class. Many different designs will be available so that you can choose the one that suits you best, either simple or complex!

Kit Fee: $15- has been added to your ticket price below. Students will bring their own fabric.

Please bring with you:

• (Fabric for the Quilt Top only)

• 1 piece of Background fabric - 30” Square

• 1 piece of high-contrast fabric for the Appliqué - 30” Square

-Thread for basting, I usually use White so it shows up on the applique fabric

-Thread to match the applique fabric

-Straw needle, or Milliner needle

-Ordinary Quilting pins

-A Pencil, just an ordinary pencil. I usually use a mechanical one so I don’t have to worry about sharpening it.

-A Small Iron and Ironing Mat surface if you have one.

-Very Sharp Pointy Scissors, we will be cutting out the design and there will be several layers of fabric and small tight cuts to make.

-Thimble, we will be doing hand stitching and you will appreciate having a thimble, trust me on this! If you don’t have one, or have never used one before, -I use leather “Thimble Pads” and I think they are fantastic. They are small leather dots that have adhesive to stick them on your finger right where the needle would poke you.

I will provide a variety of different traditional designs for free use in class. I will also have some commercial patterns for sale, if you are interested.

If you have any questions, please let me know!
