Do you want it fast? Easy? Fool-Proof?  Then check out the NEW laser-cut Kits with the fusible web already attached to the fabric.

 

I don't like to take time tracing my patterns on to the fusible web. I have a solution, PRINT your Applique designs on the fusible web in your own home!   I now sell Transweb, my favorite "go too" fusible web material. You can purchase it by the yard!   I have the solution for you now!  Email me with your questions.

Do you live in another country?   No problem.  Order ANY of my Patterns and request a PDF file.  It comes to you in your email and saves shipping costs and customs fees. You can use the PDF file to print right in your own home or directly to the fusible web!  Contact me today for information and my suggestions for the fusible web I use the most.  Remember "Not all fusible webs are created equal!!"

 

Did you say that you are a "quilt shop"?  Contact me via email about having a custom set of Turtles (you pick the turtles, a set of 4, 6, or 8 shell-back designs) for a quilt, made from your fabrics; with your shop logo on the back of the pattern. Think "a custom-designed pattern, a matching quilt, and kits using your fabrics, from your shop!"  It can't get any easier than that!  Call for details or email me with questions, designsbymary@earthlink.net or my alternate email

About my designs...

Nothing is impossible with my applique techniques and methods; nothing but fun; success and beautiful quilts.  As you may or may not know, not all machine applique designs are done with a satin stitch, zig-zag stitch or button-hole/blanket stitch on your sewing machine. Some are done with matching threads using "free-motion stitching", known as raw edge applique; and some applique is done by hand, known as "needle turn". It all depends on the effect you want.

 

These Honu (the Hawaiian word for turtle) shell-back designs are unique, making them ideal for sewing machine satin edge applique.  The designs are created from various drawings of tropical images from around the Big Island of Hawaii. When sewing these patterns you will be working with a "negative" environment, meaning the black will show through to create the design.  I try to keep the designs simple but also interesting.  Don't fret as there are nothing but happy mistakes with my techniques.   Afraid of cutting something wrong!  Don't worry, my patterns are very forgiving.  Don't like cutting out "all those pieces", order LASER CUT Kits, they are fast, saves a ton of time which gives you more time to sew!

 

Now for the "surprise," keep the "cutout" pieces and parts" (positive pieces) in a baggie for later use. The "left-overs" or "positives" can be reused to create a whole different set of Honus called Twofers, or 2-4-1's!  Enjoy!

 

New Releases

There are three different Modern Prairie Styles for purchase.  Modern Prairie Revisited Runner, Modern Prairie Revisited Placemats, Modern Prairie Sea Glass and the latest one Modern Prairie Fortune Teller.  Each of these patterns uses fabric from Island Batik. Just to let you know Modern Prairie Fortune Teller is the "easiest" one to make. Yes, those are actual "1/4" leading fabric (cut 3/4" wide). The photos are posted in the shopping cart.

ANNOUNCING - Gift cards! Not sure what to get that special quilter in your life? I have the answer, a Designs by Mary Of Hawaii GIFT CARD or Kit.  

 

I have to confess I love to TEACH!!!  I have a passion for it and I have taught all levels of quilters, from the beginners to the advanced "Art quilters"!  I come to your quilt guild or shop to lecture: teach workshops on machine applique; my stained glass technique; Machine pieced Cathedral Windows; Honu's of Hawaii or my new Prairie Style designs, and various other quilting techniques.  I love to also teach art quilts and "how to create" an applique from photographs. Let's  talk!  Contact me on my cell, or email at designsbymary@earthlink.net 

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Thank you for stopping by!
