Aloha...Hawaiian Quilting is Easier Than You Might Think!

You know, there are a few unrecognized geniuses out there in the quilting/sewing world...people who have great products but never quite hit the Eleanor Burns/Ricky Tims/Alex Anderson Style headlines...one such person is Stacy Michell...owner of Shades Textiles, daughter of Marti (the wunderfrau of template quilting) and a celebrity in her own right in Japan. Her new product, Soft Fuse, is by far the best fusible product on the market for applique! It is wonderfully pliable, can be used for hand applique and works remarkably well with Stacy's Hawaiian style dies developed for Accuquilt. She is best known for her gorgeous softly shaded hand dyed fabrics which, when coupled with Soft Fuse and one of her Accuquilt templates, make easy Hawaiian style quilts that even a novice would enjoy doing. Here she explains what the 2 for 1 Hawaiian applique is...I also make these for resale but with beautiful batiks instead - the results are truly exceptional - and as you will see in the video - really easy to create...the Floating Sea Turtles is a design unique to Lollipops...you can see more on our website...
