What a lovely lady with the BEST tutorial on Hawaiian quilting. Thank you! 🌟
Thank you! I’ve wanted to know how to do this for years.
Thank you, Cicci - very kind
Your interview on Karen’s Quilt Circle was wonderful. I’ve been looking for a hand piece to have for times when I want to enjoy quiet sewing or just visiting with friends. I can’t just sit idle. I was hesitant (very unlike me when it comes to sewing) to tackle a bed sized project right away. Your wise Dad led me with his instance that I start with a cushion. Thank you for your calm, careful instruction. You have a great teaching style. Down a new rabbit hole I go!
I just found this after watching you on Karen’s Quilt Circle. Thank you for teaching this technique so well
What a pleasant surprise to find you smiling back at me w just one click… I will try one cushion with you! I come from the Caribbean where we enjoy breadfruit as if there is no tomorrow…and we have never gone hungry,!!,
I made the mistake of sharing a sea turtle Hawaiian quilt with my daughter and now she's begging me to make it for her , she's 35 and special needs . I can never refuse her anything because she doesn't see the evil in the world and she has the biggest heart ❤🥰 so what she wants, we try to give her because we know it doesn't come from a greedy want , so I'm going to try to study all your techniques just for my daughter 😁🤟 I know the problems that left handed people have, I'm left handed 😁
I’m part of a challenge quilt group. My person like Hawaiian quilts…. I can do this! Thank you.
Your mom is amazing!
Wonderful beginner video. I am so excited to start on the Breadfruit pattern. Thank you so much Crissy!
I just took my first Hawaiian Quilt class, living in Hawaii I always wanted to make one. But, never have now I am. Thank you also you are a great teacher will be making mine soon:)
I just watched Karen's interview ... I've been intrigued with Hawaiian quilts for many years and was so excited to learn of your generous family and sharing of the process!!! Looking forward to a fun hand sewing project. I can hardly wait to start in 2023. Mahalo... God Bless
Me too!!!
I followed your wonderful tutorial and although it took me over a year, starting and stopping many times, I have a finished project that I'm very proud of. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Many years ago, in 5th grade, we did this by hand. That was the 1980s on Ohau, Barbers Point. I made a pillow. I remember carrying around a little shoe box of supplies. Turning the edge and stitching it down was a challenge. The teacher said it would teach us patience. I still have it it looks a bit rough.
My grandmother was born with only one hand too. And she was a wonderful embroiderer.
Thank you for this series and the pattern. I commented on the applique one. I have one Poakalani book and had cut out a laua'e to do first and was just about to start when I saw your applique video. Thank you so much for all of this. I'm doing the ulu one now and am so thrilled to have you to follow instead of trying to do this blind. Aloha, Kaleolani
Aloha Kaleolani, I'm glad you're enjoying the series.
I just watcted your interview on Karen's Quilt Circle ... This is fantastic!!!
Thank for doing this series. I’ve tried it on my own and want to pick up information from an expert.
I'll be posting the Quilting Instruction Soon. I hope it helps you to complete your Hawaiian quilt.
Thankyou so much I bought 4 Poakalani pattern and design books when I visited Hawaii in 2009 I have started my first but already made a few mistakes so thank you so much for your videos.
I am so glad that I caught your interview with Karen Brown yesterday! I love to hand appliqué and I especially love Hawaiian Quilts! I would love to one day complete a king size quilt, but I'm going to start with the 22" x 22" LOL even though I can already needle turn appliqué. As a side note, my husband and I were dating in the early 80's on the same ship called the USS ACADIA AD-42. While on a WES-PAC in '85, our first stop was in Hawaii. He proposed to me on Waikiki Beach and we are still married 36 years later!
What a wonderful memory of Hawaii and Congratulations on your 36 years of marriage what a milestone.
Thank for your efficiency of method and words, clear and encouraging.
I love your patterns. I saw you last year and recently Dave’s sewing room recommended your channel
Cissy, your tutorials are outstanding... THANK YOU♡♡♡
Thank you so much! I’m so excited to learn from you!
I am a new subscriber and very interested in learning this technique.
I do alot of pieced quilts, and have done hand embroidered quilts. I do some hand piecing, always hand embroidery, and have wanted to try Hawaiian quilting for a long time. I'm really glad this showed up on my news feed. Thank you for sharing this.
Very interesting, thank you! I’m reading a book about Hawaiian quilting and just had to check this out. Very good tutorial!
beautiful example of Hawiian quilting...excellent instruction...thank you
Thank you forthis video. I was very informed during your interview with Karen Quilts. I love Hawaiian Applique.
Thank you for a wonderful video
This was a great series to follow, Mahalo nui loa 💛🤙🏼
So glad I found your video. I’m subscribed now and might be brave enough to make me a beautiful Hawaiian cushion one day.
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I can’t wait to use your method and make my own Hawaiian quilt. I will also be using this basting method on other appliqué quilts I am making. I can’t thank you enough for such excellent instructions!
Thank you SO Much Cissy!!
So glad I found your channel. You are a Beautiful Gem! Your Mom is AMAZING! I Loved your teaching technique for a beginner. I bought a Sea Turtles and Dolphins pattern while on vacation on Kau'ai in 2006 (?)... Anyway, I was able to cut it correctly on 2nd try, different fabric. Unfortunately, I found the project too daunting. However, THANKS TO YOU, I will now try your technique and complete it!🤞😊💕
Thanks Cissy for your instructions. 🇨🇦😊
I am currently working on a Hawaiian quilt top for a cushion in purple batiks, it’s so relaxing/meditative! Enjoyed your interview on Just Get It Done Quilts. I would like to visit the islands and see all the beautiful quilts!
Thank you for sharing this ʻike with us Aunty!
Thank you so much!
I found this by searching Hawaiian appliqué. Thank you!
Thanks for your help Cissy- watched the Quiltfolk program today, enjoyed but wanted to rematch this-feels more focused on the needle turn work I want to learn about!!!
Thank you for sharing this video. I am still a beginner and collecting Al those important technices to quilt.
Wonderful instructions. Saw you on Karen’s Just Get It Done Quilts. I may just have to try this. Thank you
Clear and helpful instruction. Thank you!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you! Great tutorials. Please make more.
Such a great video! I'm so excited to learn this, especially after I saw you on Karen's Quilt Circle. I've visited Hawaii twice. It is so beautiful! Aloha!
Thank you❤
Amazing tutorial and fabulous video thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas
Beautiful, thank you. 🌸 just saw you on Get it Done ✅
Aloha Cissy,
Enjoyed your interview very much with Karen from "Just Get It Done" UA-cam channel.
Hugs from Waimanalo
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 😍😍❤❤
I love this.
I would love to try to do it.
Thank so much .Love the pattern
Thanks ms. Cissy for starting me on a new journey. I could not get the patterns to load. But fortunately my poakalani books came in today...
Also is there a trick in keeping the thread from twisting and tangling. I am on step 2?
Don't make your thread too long, just an arms length, that works for me.
Outstanding tutorial 👍❤🙏 Mahalo
I am attempting this technique as a memory quilt with clothing from my sister in law who was from Hawaii. I would love to order some fabric from a quilt shop in Hawaii for the background and backing. Suggestions on shops to order from? Thank you so much for this instruction, it means the world to me to learn and be able to make quilts for my brother and his kids.
aloha, lovely class, thank you
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your videos! I am wondering where you get fabric for a larger quilt (like the 108” size) Do you piece strips together or do you use quilt backing fabric?
Aloha Rachel, you will need to seam your fabric together for a 90" x 90". You need about six yards and you sew your fabric to the 90" x 90" size.
@@poakalanihawaiianquilts4122 Mahalo! I was just afraid of a visible seam.
Thank you 💖💖
I have been wanting to make a Hawaiian Quilt since the fist time I Visited Hawaii. I did buy two precut pillow but never made them. Your tutorial is very helpful and I am going to get the pillow blocks out. Thank you, I am so glad that I found your channel. BTW what island are you on.
Thank you so much for this! The other videos I saw used iron on glue, and I can't stand that stuff! Already messed up one quilt with it. My grandmother grew up in Hawaii and when she passed away she picked out a beautiful Hawaiian print fabric for me that I have been wanting to make a quilt with. Is it very challenging to do one large applique for a quilt size? I don't usually do very much hand sewing.
thank you
Can you please share the steps of a bed quilt (Queen, or King). Dealing with the bulk of the fabric, lining up ect. For beginner. Thank you so much
So thrilled to have watched your interview with Karen of Karen’s Quilt Circle! I plan to attempt to make a cushion once I get my new grandnephew’s quilt finished. Question - is it okay/possible to glue baste instead of thread basting? I was thinking of using Roxanne’s Glue Baste It glue. Your thoughts would be most helpful. Mahalo Cissy.
Aloha Lori, All the years I've taught Hawaiian Quilting I only have one quilter that glue baste. She's never had a problem glue basting and prefers that over thread basting. If you know the technique, then of course glue basting is another option to baste your design on to the backing fabric.
Thank you so much this is lovely but I could not down load the patterns
Aloha Neva, I'll check the link e-mail your e-mail address and I'll send the patterns to you. Mahalo cissy@poakalani.com
What color thread do you use on the background if the background is white and the pattern is blue as in your you tube video? Someone told me to use the same color thread as the pattern on the echo quilting but wouldn’t it be too noticeable?
You can use the same color thread as the background color, which I do. My mother Poakalani used the same color thread as the design. If you're a beginner stick to the same color as the background. More experience quilter with even and smaller quilt stitches can use a different color thread.
Can I cheat? Can I get a plain white quilt and appliqué the design on top of it?
You can but I don't think you'll get the same result. 🙂
I would really like to make the Ti Leaf design but I can't get it to download (I think it's a problem on my end). Is there anywhere else to get the pattern link or could it be emailed?
I repeated the folding 3 or 4 times to ensure I’d get it right, but when I unfolded it after cutting it out, I ended up with 4 pieces!!!😢. How did that happen? Should I sew them together at the straight edges?
When you fold your fabric remember you need to bring all your folds together. You should have 3 folds on 1 angle and 1 large fold on the other angle. I would recommend using a whole new fabric.
@@poakalanihawaiianquilts4122 I actually did sew the four pieces together and have now sewn almost half of the pattern to the backing fabric, so too late to start again. It’s probably not going to be a true Hawaiian quilt top, but it’s just for me, so I’m okay with that. I’ll know where to place the pattern piece on the folded fabric next time. Thank you for responding.
How you but in pattern in the middle on a 45 +45 because like trying to make a 45 + 45 Hawaiian quilt.
You would do exactly the same thing. Because you fold both into 8ths, when you lay it to pin then baste, the folds will be where you the center the applique and each of the folds as they fan out. Just as she demonstrates.
I can't get the links to open
How do you a quarter inch in on the pattern please late me now.
Aloha Nadine, from the edge of the design baste a quarter inch in. Use a ruler in the beginning if you need to. Does this help?
I can't get the links to work for the patterns
I waited a moment and then they opened with no problem. Try again and see if it works for you.
Thank you😊❤️
