Hawaiian Applique-Totable WIP

April 3, 2013

Hawaiian Applique

I like to have a few “totable” works in progress at all times–and Hawaiian applique is a perfect, totable project. It has no small pieces, requires only one spool of thread and doesn’t require a great deal of concentration to stitch.

Unfortunately, I DO need to carry my spectacles…

This applique pattern is from Pokolani Quilts.

and is cut from a hand dyed fabric…perfect for Hawaiian appliqué.

It takes a while to baste, but it is worth the time because it makes the project portable--no pins!

What’s your favorite totable project–(besides doodling)?

    my 1st REAL applique project was a reverse applique pattern of swimming turtles. I LOVED that I didn’t have to keep going back and adding pieces. I have since done a few more, but have not mastered prepping some of the little stuff. When I did the reverse applique, I machine basted my piece. I used a horrid orange thread and had not ONE bit of trouble seeing where to take it out! lolol

      I am working on a complicated Baltimore Album Quilt, but it does require adding pieces–and concentration, so not so totable!

    Don’t know much about Hawaiian applique, except that it looks pretty and also looks like it would be fiddly. Is there a next step after the top photo? I can’t see clearly if there’s still some work to do with the raw edges. Would love to learn more.

      The entire piece is needle turned appliquéd. In the last photo, I am just beginning that process. Are you interested in a tutorial on appliqué? Another of my favorite things to do…

        Sure, I’m always interested. My project list grows longer every day. I just bought a really lovely book about felting. I bet you know what that’s like. There are so many interesting things to do….

        So much to do…sew little time, but I would love to learn more about felting!

    I’ve been toting a hawaiian applique project to my quilt bee for several years. I guess I’d make more progress if I worked on it more than a couple hours a month 🙂 Your project is lovely – that is a really pretty blue hand dye.

      Thanks so much. I had a project that I toted around for years, never really expecting to finish. Then it got to the point that almost 3/4 of the blocks were done–that’s when I really worked on it in earnest to get it completed. Unfortunately, it is not quilted…I want to hand quilt it, though that could mean it never gets done….
