HAWAIIAN QUILTING FROM HONU HALE Search: The Web Tripod Walk the Line Share This Page Report Abuse Edit your Site Browse Sites « Previous | Top 100 | Next » HONU HALE Quiltmaking PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER WHAT YOU WILL NEED Your quilt top is now finished. Most quilters pull out basting threads as they applique but if any remain, this is the time to remove them. Isn't it beautiful and aren't you proud of yourself? You should be. Now you are ready to assemble your quilt. Batting can be bought by the yard in fabric stores but it is far easier to buy seamless sheets in the size you need. They are available in everything from Crib (45"x 60") to King (120"x 120") size at Variety stores, some fabric shops and of course from quilting supply stores and catalogs. There are some excellent on-line resources for telephone orders, eg. Hancocks or Keepsake Quilting; see LINKS page. Most quilters use polyester batting but pure cotton and poly/cotton blends are also available. Batting thickness is largely a matter of personal preference. The thinner the batting, the easier to quilt and the smaller your stitches will be. A very thick batting can result in a quilt which is too heavy to use as a bedspread, particularly in a warm climate. It will however, make a quilt which is "puffier" and more sculptured in appearance. There are definate differences between brands of batting and you may want to check out several different ones. Hobbs Polydown is a good, all-purpose choice used by many quilters. Backing: Remember that third large square of fabric you set aside months ago. Now is the time for it to come out of hiding to become the back of your quilt. If you didn't do it before, press it exactly as you did the other squares; lengthwise into halves, then into quarters, then eighths. ASSEMBLY For this step, you will again need the large flat surface -- several tables or the floor -- which you used to lay out your quilt face prior to appliqueing. Just as you did then, spread the fabric for the back of your quilt flat and fasten at the edges. Over this spread your sheet of batting making sure it lies smoothly, covering the entire back of quilt. Finally, (at last), spread your quilt top over the other two layers matching folds in face and back. Be very sure that the fabric grain in both pieces runs in the same direction. If it doesn't, quilting will be almost impossible since the "give" in fabric differs with grain direction. Check around edges of layout to make sure the fabric layers match at center folds and corners. Some adjusting and smoothing will almost certainly be necessary. Batting will probably protrude beyond edges. It should, you can trim it later. Using long quilters' pins, fasten edges loosely together. Starting in the center, pin all layers together, first along fold lines including diagonals, then securing layers with more pins about 12-14 inches apart throughout the quilt. There is no need to measure, just be sure all layers are firmly pinned. Finally, unfasten from surface, pin edges neatly and trim off surplus batting a few inches beyond edge of quilt. Your quilt is now ready to be moved to a table for basting. BASTING You now have an assembled quilt, pinned together and draped over a table. Start at the the center,(tired of that - OK - the "PIKO" ) with a long basting needle and regular sewing thread, preferably white. Taking large stitches, 11/2-2 inches, baste along the fold line through alllayers, to one of the outside edges. Take 2-3 loose stitches to end thread. Return to the center and repeat, basting to opposite edge. Now, move out 10-12 inches from center line which you have basted. Starting at center fold,( not quilt center), again baste out to both edges, parallel to previous basting. Measuring and placing pins to insure a straight line may be helpful but is not essential. Continue this process on both sides of quilt, working in opposite directions from center fold.Smooth out any surplus fabric on either face or back, as you go. When you reach the edges,parallell to your basting lines, place your last row of basting approximately where you want your finished quilt edge to be. Ideally, this line should be an equal distance from all outside edges of your pattern. In reality this may not be quite so, try for fairly equal. At this point your quilt is basted in one direction. Turn it around and do exactly the same thing going in the opposite direction.The finished result will be a grid of neatly basted squares which will hold all parts of your quilt together as you work. Trim all outside edges 3-4 inches beyond edge of basting. Part of this surplus will eventually go inside your quilt binding. The rest allows for adjustments and can be trimmed off later. TRANSITIONS This is another step which has gone rather quickly. If you belong to a quilt club and were lucky enough to have had help from other quilters, it probably took only a few hours; if you are working alone, a day or two. At this point, many experienced quilters choose to start a second quilt. The reason is simple, while quilting on one they are appliqueing on the second. This introduces an element of variety into the work and eliminates any possible boredom which may result from looking at the same quilt every day for months on end. Of course anyone who decides to do this is clearly hooked on Hawaiian quilting. Believe it or not your quilt is now more than half finished. From here on you will be working with the fully assembled quilt as you master the fine art of quilting. Did you spread it out on a bed yet to admire? If you didn't, by all means do before you continue. Honu_Hale@yahoo.com Index Page 6 Quiltmaking -- Getting ready to quilt.

Built in 1899 on Reed's Island, on the lush green side of Hawai`i Island, it is one of the state's few remaining Victorian mansions. Hilo's most photographed residence, the recently renovated "castle" sits high on a ridge overlooking a deep gulch lined with magnificent stands of palms, bamboo and ferns. Much of the original furniture remains in the house, which included a double parlor, library, dining room, conservatory, billiard room, and a second floor ballroom (now guestrooms). In the afternoon, guests may enjoy cold lemonade on the lanai overlooking Hilo Bay, just as the Shipman family did. The library is also available, as is the 1912 Steinway concert grand piano. The porte-cochere's high step accommodated turn-of-the-century horse-and-carriage passengers. Shipman House is the perfect inn for guests who love the history, gardens and comfortable living of Old Hawai`i. As Hilo's best accommodation, Shipman House offers the gracious, unpretentious hospitality of a fifth generation Island family in a home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At Shipman House guests are invited to: * Sleep where Jack London slept. * Bathe in oversized tubs. * Play the same piano Hawai`i's last queen, Lili`uokalani, played * Walk on honey-colored, old growth fir floors beneath 12-foot ceilings. * Read the travel books of a century ago. * Gaze through curved windows of hand-rolled glass. * Relax among furnishings of Hawai`i's monarchy era. * Taste tropical fruits, backyard-fresh Shipman House Details: The mansion is Hilo's Historic Accommodation and is listed on both the State of Hawai`i and National Registers. The home offers 5 Bedrooms, each with private bath. Shipman House is open all year. The Grounds Explore the grounds, see the waterfall. The Shipmans were avid plant collectors, and the 5.5-acre grounds are planted with a wide variety of palms, ferns, and other tropicals, including the Shipman Pink anthurium. Willie and Mary's youngest son, Herbert C. Shipman, brought the first orchid plants to the Island of Hawaii, now nicknamed the Orchid Isle. He also saved the nene [pronounced nay-nay], the Hawaiian goose, from extinction. Today there are over 20 varieties of fruit trees on the property, numerous varieties of bananas, pineapples, taro, and even a small coffee plantation. Fruits in season appear on the breakfast buffet, and exotic flowers from the garden grace the house and guest rooms. History In 1901, W.H. ("Willie") Shipman bought the mansion as a surprise for his beloved wife, Mary Kahiwaaiali`i Johnson Shipman, who wanted it so badly she could hardly stand it. He did not tell her about it for a month. He paid $13,000. The seller made a profit. Mary's grandmother was a Hawaiian of high rank, and her grandfather was one of the first white men to stay in Hawai`i. Willie, a cattle rancher, had missionary parents. Mary, known for her gracious hospitality, counted among her guests her friend, Hawai`i's last queen, Lili`uokalani, and author Jack London, who stayed for a month with his wife Charmian. As quoted by his wife, Jack London said, "To me, Mother Shipman is the First Lady of Hawaii." Liliuokalani would enjoy a poi luncheon here, then play the Steinway concert grand piano as she enjoyed a cigar. Your Hosts In 1993, the Shipmans' great-granddaughter and her husband, Barbara Ann and Gary Andersen, returned to Hilo to purchase and renovate the family home. They continue the tradition of old Hawaiian hospitality as they open their historic home and guesthouse to bed and breakfast guests. Let your host share memories and family anecdotes with you during the Grand Tour of the mansion and the gardens. Barbara and her sister spent a part of every summer with their great-aunts at the house, weeding the cutting garden, riding wheelbarrows down rolling green lawns, arranging flowers, making plum jam, bathing in claw-foot tubs, and sleeping in four-poster beds. Barbara and Gary say they love this side of the island, and enthusiastically share its beauty, history, special nooks and crannies with any and all newcomers. This part of Hawai`i is so often overlooked by travelers and travel agents, yet it has an "old Hawai`i" charm which most visitors really enjoy. The Bedrooms All five guest bedrooms are large, with 10 to 12 ft. ceilings, private baths, small refrigerators, cotton kimonos, heirloom furnishings, hand-woven lauhala mats, fans and fresh flowers. The Main House offers Three Rooms: ~ Flossie's Willow Bough: On the first floor, adjoining the library, with antique koa twin beds, ceiling fan, and private bath with shower/tub. It opens onto the wraparound veranda through an unusual window-door and tall shutters. Originally a billiard room, this is the room Charmian and Jack London stayed in. $154/night ~ Auntie Clara's Shell Room: Upstairs, with parts of her shell collection, koa furniture, and a queen-size bed. Spectacular view of Hilo Bay. Its large private bath, adjacent in the hall, with claw foot tub and separate shower, was the only bathroom in the original house. It is not shared with anyone. Hear Waikapu ("forbidden spring") Stream running through the gulch below. $184/night ~ Auntie Carrie's Room: Upstairs, one-third of the original ballroom, it overlooks the expansive side/backyard. It adjoins the upstairs porch, and has a private bath (shower/tub) en suite, small sitting area and antique koa queen-size bed with feather mattress. $164/night ~ Cottage Mauka and Cottage Makai are the two (separate) spacious bedrooms upstairs in the 1910 guesthouse, across the driveway. They have queen-size beds, window seats and private baths (shower/tubs). Private entrances and ceiling fans. No kitchens. The headboards in these rooms are from the bed Jack London slept on when he stayed for a month in 1907. A broad, shared, screened lanai and an interior door separate/connect the two bedrooms. Surrounded by trees, lawn, and birds. $164/night per room. Breakfast A glorious celebration of Island foods not usually available to visitors, is served outside on the lanai. A typical continental buffet may have macadamia nut granola, assorted local fruits in season (there are 20 varieties of fruit trees on the property), fruit juices, Kona coffee, special breads or muffins. When available, we may add baked bananas, hashed brown taro, or breadfruit. BREAKFAST HOURS 7:45-9:00 a.m., (or earlier with notice). Anyone having dietary restrictions or food allergies can request, ahead of time, a different menu. The Shipman House staff tries to accommodate special diets (with sufficient notice).
