![]() ![]() It is called the Scenes of the Big Island, it is printed by Hoffman Fabrics of California. I can proudly say that I worked with Quilt Passions on the Kailua-Kona side of the Big Island, in designing fabric unique to the Big Island of Hawaii. No request is too large or too small and "No, I am not offended with anyone's suggestions." I am more than happy to help! Please feel free to contact me with your request. ![]() ![]() I always welcome ideas, comments, and suggestions on what I can do to make my patterns easier to understand or add suggested quilting or thread work ideas. It was an honor and a privilege to do so. I love to travel and was fortunate enough to be invited to teach at a week-long retreat in Israel, in 2018, by the Israeli Quilt Guild. So watch for announcements.Īs if I'm not busy enough, I teach at local quilt shops in the Southern California area. I also have a series of Hawks, native to the desert areas that are in the design phase. My next "stained glass" designs will be based on the beautiful Cactus flowers found blooming in Arizona and California as well as the amazing wildflowers. Since I am originally from Tucson Arizona, I consider myself a "desert rat", and I have been taking lots of cactus flower pictures and southwest scenes. This newfound technique opened up a new series of Hawaiian Tropical Stained Glass Flower patterns, again based on photographs that I took around the islands.Īfter 18 years of living on the big island, four years ago, 2019, my husband and I relocated to Southern California. I was introduced to "stained glass" type designs by a dear friend and fellow quilt artist. I also created unique applique patterns from photographs such as the Surfing Duo, Scenes of the Big Island, and a series of Modern Prairie Designs reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright also known as Craftsman style. Over time I added my ideas for tribal designs and modified petroglyphs. ![]() I produce my turtle (Honu ~ the Hawaiian name) designs so that they are "uniquely tropical, with a Hawaiian flair". They’re solid, with texture and teensy bits of other colors blended in to create so much visual interest in your quilts!ĭon’t you agree this is the perfect little treat to yourself to start the new year? I hope you’ll order a SOLID-ISH design roll today! ( And thank you….Designs by Mary of Hawaii was created several years ago due to various requests for unique Hawaiian-type, machine applique designs using the shape of the swimming sea turtles (Honu), with scenes reminiscent of the big island, that being the unique shell-backs created by using negative space and keeping the "positive" for a secondary design. They are perfect blenders for other fabrics lines in your stash yet they can stand on their own. I can’t begin to say what it means to be able to share these luscious fabrics with all of you. It is also perfect for cutting diamonds and angles because the highlighted mint green lines (especially the 45 degree line because you’ll use it over and over again for this project) make it quick and easy to see and cut 100% accurately!ĬLICK HERE to order the PRECISION PRECUTS RULER, which is not sold in stores!
