- In this video I make a Hawaiian quilt using the Poakalani quilt pattern books and videos.
These are the tutorials I followed to learn this technique:
Part 1: • Starting your first 22...
Part 2: • Needle Turn Applique
Here is where I got some of their patterns: poakalani.net/

Greetings All ! I'm so thankful for all the positive comments and glad people are liking my Hawaiian quilt ! I had a great time making it. Just to clear the air, in this video I made an off-hand remark that I don't think it snows in Hawaii. Since publishing this video over a year ago, I have received many dozens of messages, comments and emails from people who wanted to let me know that it does in fact snow in Hawaii 😜😂 I brought up the snow because I wanted to include a block that represents some aspect of my home in Pennsylvania, just like the motifs in the Hawaiian blocks that recall aspects of Hawaiian culture. I now live on an island in the pacific with warm weather all year round, so incorporating that snowflake block was my way of paying homage to my home town, that I miss most during winter months. Although there may be snow on mountain peaks, it's not quite the winter wonderland that I remember fondly from my childhood in Pennsylvania, where all the roads were covered and we could expect three or four snow days each year. I really liked the hawaiian blocks in the Poakalani books, and I wanted to include one that I designed myself that conjured something of my hometown. Snowflake was the perfect choice, because it was December and I had just recently moved to my new island home, where I was experiencing a warm island winter for the first time and missing the snowfall in PA more than ever. I now know that a snowflake could represent the snow that falls on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa as well 😜👨🏻
I didn’t know that it snowed in Hawaii either and I am a whole lot older than you. I guess you are never too old to learn something new! Thank you! Take care and stay safe! Happy quilting ❤️!
Milliners make hats! Gorgeous quilt, Dave!! ❤❤❤
Every ethnicity, every culture, every country has quilting backgrounds that are similar to others. It's pretty cool.
Aloha Dave and I just wanted to say you are amazing, I love your video and how you made Hawaiian Quilting your own through your fabric choice, we don't always have to be traditional sometimes we need to break those bonds and push that artistic ideas a little farther and my goodness I love that everything you do has a meaning and a story. I've also seen your other video's and wow I especially love the 100 days 100 block kinship Quilt. You rock, and keep those video's coming and Mahalo for sharing Poakalani to your subscribers. Cissy
Thank you Cissy !! I'm so glad you like my content and welcome to my craft room !! 😁😜👨🏻
I love your applique block behind you and the one with the green leaves is going to be beautiful!! Thank you for another great video!!
So inspiring. Love your approach.. Let's do it!
Hi Dave, good on you for doing this! Would recommend as Cissy says - do not totally cut out your pattern but pin it because of those layers of fabric and prevents shifting of your layers so your pattern doesn’t get distorted. We don’t use tracing pencils and I use a Kai brand scissors or good quality sharp scissors to cut through those layers. Honey, we do have snow in Hawaii! It’s on our upper slopes on Mauna Kea which means white mountain and Haleakala. You need to come back and join Cissy’s class and go the Big Island in the winter to see Mauna kea.
thanks ! I followed Cissy's tutorial initially although just like with everything else, I always end up finding my own way of doing things that works better for me 😜
I just you were gunna use the white sewing machine to machine quilt it….jaw drop….I am a hand quilter too!!!! Great video thank you for sharing! Not too many hand, quilters out and UA-cam land anymore 🎊
Glad you kept the original orange one. Gives us all hope! Haha.
Your snowflake was beautiful! I made a Hawaiian quilt a couple or so years ago. I used 18 in squares of paper folded in the pie shape and free handed the designs. I watched a few YT videos first. I then used a light weight stabilizer on the fabric, folded paper out and traced the design around the template. This way was much easier, I am sure, but probably not the traditional way. I do love your work! Your quilt is quite beautiful and shows the love you put in it!
Awww, you are so adorable, son. Keep sewing and keep inspiring!!
Beautiful quilt. Well done!
I love that after you finished the quilt you have a mustache, to probably mark the time it took! LOL Nice quilt by the way.
My first Hawaiian block was the Ulu pattern also. It's good luck to make your first Hawaiian block Ulu! I got onto Poakalani's patterns when I lived in Honolulu and really love her quilts. Love your beautiful work!
I probably will never make a Hawaiian quilt because of the arthritis in my hand but I really enjoyed watching you make yours. The snowflake block is my favorite! The quilt is gorgeous!
Fantastic quilt!
I love handquilting , and for myself using a hoop has never worked / felt right. If basted, I find no need for the hoop. Hand quilting is the best: meditative and beautiful.
Oh I stumbled onto your channel because of the poakalani pattern. I have done 5 of the Hawaiian patterns 20” pillows all hand done but the sewing of the pillow. I used muslin as the base. I love love them. I have to say pinning the pattern definitely worked better for me. Thank you for this video
Love your video. Learned so much
Wow that is an incredible intense hand work. Worth every stitch in the end. Label and will be another Dave creation
Great job Dave!!!
Always wanted to make a quilt like yours
Amazing, im inspired to make one, TBH Im likely gonna make a pillow case vs an entire quilt like you but wow you did that.. just ordered the Poakalani quilting book, hopefully it won't be a dust collector..
You continue to amaze!! It does snow in Hawaii on the Big Island on Manukea.
You did a great job!
good job, I am a self taught Hawaiian Master quilter too, have made 4 kingsize and 20 keiki size quilts and 20 pillow framed
Nice !! I plan to make a large scale one very soon ! 😜
Awesome work, Dave! A milliner is a hatmaker.
Rather than hand basting you can use a craft glue that school kids use. Comes in a tube that winds up. Anyway, the glue has never stained, is easily removed and ideal for intricate needle turn applique.
Wow. Just beautiful. Tfs,cotton hugs, Chel 🌸
So cool!! Thanks for sharing.
Wow You are amazing. From Australia.
Amazing I started one forever ago your hand sewing and quilting is amazing great job thanks for the inspiration 👍😀
It DOES snow in Hawaii on Big Island where the space observatory is!
For blocks that are too small, block them. Mark the size the block should be on a pinable surface (a padded board). Wet the block with water or spray starch, thoroughly. Pin into the desired size gently, using glass headed pins, easing where necessary. Press carefully and leave until cool. Hope this helps with future accuracy
Loved this! I have 2 of her books & saw her video a while ago. Waiting for time to do it. I live near pittsburgh & wish I had saved my adult daughters paper snowflakes from when they were little to make memory quilts in Hawaiian style. You are a genius. Thanks for sharing. By the way my favorite is the orange block!
Thank you! I went to college kind of near Pittsburgh, IUP class of 2014 :P
@@davescraftroom Dave! I can't believe it...I went to IUP class of 1986. Amazing!
So cool Hawaii Quilts ❤
This is so cool! I just started my first Poakalani square a few days ago. Isn't Cissy the sweetest? I hope she sees your video. I'm doing the Ti first because it looked simple. I'm curious how applying the snowflake worked when you had to do those tiny diamonds. I absolutely love that you made one representing your life/culture. You make me laugh and I'm trying not to watch all your videos in one day so they last a bit. Mahalo!
thank you!! the snowflake turned out well, I just applied the same technique that Cissy teaches in her video and it worked 🙃😁
Amazing work, and beautiful outcome!
Love your snowflake block 🤩
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Aloha Dave! I love this quilt, especially the snow flake, ♥ (you know it snows on Mauna Kea & Mauna Loa mountains). Great job Dave!
I bought a pattern from the Pacific Rim Quilting Company. There were 6 designs and I did one of them to make a wall-hanging.
New subbie here. Love your work ! Thank you for inspiring! 💙
thank you!! 🙃😁
Totally inspired to have this type of quilt on my bucket list. I have been intrigued by the Hawaiian quilt style for sometime now I purchased some batiks and would like to use those for that perfect island feel. I especially liked the hand quilting that you did. Great job! Can’t wait to see your next project.
I have watched her tutorial and loved it.
I may try fusible tape
So beautiful quilt ❤Thank you for sharing 🥰😻
Lovely!
Gorgeous!
I'm going to try a pillow first. Thank you
Love this quilt, Dave. ❤❤❤
Nicely done!
Just lovely!
😀
beautiful !!!
Thank you!!
I have an antique quilt my great grandmother made that looks like one of those patterns. I’ve not yet found the pattern in any book. I think she heard about these and made her own up.
There are no two snowflakes alike, so anything you make will be a snowflake!😊 ❄️
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! Hola! new subscriber. LOVE Your blocks!!! You're right! you need to get a thicker hoop. No thimble ??? Wow! Start to finish how long did it take?
looking back through the photos in my phone I think I worked on it over a period of 5 months, because I did my first block in a hotel room as I was moving and then I set it aside until I could get my craft room all set up and ready. Once I started working on it in earnest I finished the majority of the work within ~2 months I *think*
I glue baste my applique
Aloha Dave, wow, this is awesome! Can you tell me how I can get a hold of these books? Or are they even still available? Beautiful work.
They're available online from Amazon and ebay and from the poakalani quilts website
Hi Dave, what is the name of the needles you are using for basting ? Im Amazon, Prime member, so I'm sure I can purchase them there ❤ beautiful work ❤awesome job😊 I made a Hawaiian quilt block wall hanging 😊❤
I'm not sure, I probably used multiple different needles and I never know what kind it is that I'm using 😅😂 you don't have to use any particular needle though, any needle you like will work 😜👨🏻
@@davescraftroom lol 🤣🤣Thanks Dave😁 you always make me laugh🤣 you're so funny🥰 and so cute. I love your technique, your ideas! But most of all your ambition to make it your own. Like Sanatra says " I DID IT MY WAY" ❤️ Love watching your channel I learn a lot plus I love listening to your amazing stories ❤️by the way I want to ask you: when you make requested quilts for your friends, and family or someone wanting to request for you to make them their favorite quilt do you make them to give it to them or do you charge 🤔 I would love for one of you to make me a special quilt, I'm a October girl and a Libra and I love Turtles ❤️🌹 let me know $$❤️ Happy Sewing 🌹 keep up the fabulous work 🌹 much love, take care
A milliner is a hat maker.
It snows on the mountain in Hawaii.
nice! I didn't know that :P
Not mountain, dormant volcanos.
When I went to the big Island years ago, I couldn't visit the obervatories the two weeks I was there because they were snowed in. Coming from Colorado all I could do was laugh and enjoy more beach time.
Make copies and cut out the copy.
I’m new to your channel and I like it a lot, but, …….snowflakes are six sided not eight. 😮
It was just a rendering 😉
