HAWAIIAN QUILTING

Elizabeth Akana

Hope this finds many new and beautiful Hawaiian cushions finished and bringing love into your homes. Last time I promised to explain how you could use your Woodrose pattern with other crafts. I hope what follows will fill the bill for all of you. Over the years, to keep ravself involved with Hawaiian quilting, IVe had to try new fabrics and ideas using the beautiful Hawaiian patterns. I don't know how you folks are but I find that I sometimes get bored doing the same thing over and over. So I started using the Hawaiian patterns in every way I could think of. The very first was to use a whole pattern or part of a pattern just appliqued on some garments (skirts or dresses}. One day I tried cutting the patterns out of a double knit fabric and appliqued it to a double knit skirt I had. The skirt had been drab and I hardly wore it; After I appliqued the Hawaiian pattern to it I received compliments every time I wore it. The pattern had given it new life and I was thrilled.

I decided to try the small pillow patterns with all sorts of other crafts. My first project was to put a pattern on needlepoint canvas. The project took forever but it turned out nice. Next was latch hook canvas in a pillow size. I told of this project at one of my demonstrations only to find that a lady in the audience was much more ambitious and had done a Hawaiian quilt pattern on a rug 9 ft. sq. 1 tried my hand at punch work and made a 3'x4' rug. I put about 12 different patterns on that little rug in a random arrangement. I love the rug and use it in my kitchen. Now it was time for something a little different so I put a pattern on a ceramic platter. I used a rough textured glaze for the pattern, It turned out and made a nice wall piece. At last it was time for the biggest . challenge. I was going to try to knit it into a I had started in hand crafts with knitting at the age of 5 so it was a real joy to be able touse a new found love with an old friend. Now I'm sure you're saying — well that's fine for you but how do we do those things? I'll try to share my ~ secret with you. First you'll need some supplies. your Woodrose pattern paper cutting scissors marking pens and pencils (Nepo pens, are best for . your canvas work) . . ■■ . paper cut to 19"x 19" tape (plastic and masking) clear plastic wrap 1.--Tike your 19"x 19" paper and fold it in half (diagram #I}, then in half again (diagram #2), Now bring those folds together with a diagonal fold (diagram #3). The center is where the folds meet in a point (diagram #4). 2. Take cut out paper pattern and place on folded . paper, Be sure to place pattern properly so that the straights, biases and centers match (diagram #5). 3. Take your pencil and follow along cut edge of pattern thus making a copy of your pattern on the folded paper. 4. Now measufe V»" from pattern edge to inside of design and draw a new smaller pattern as shown by * broken lines on diagram 112 6, Draw this line carefully, Cut out the smaller design. Your cut out pattern should look like the finished appliqued pattern, diagram #7. Your pattern is now ready for use with all kinds of other crafts. Needlepoint or Latch Hook: 1. Place cut out pattern pressed open and flat on contrasting surface so that pattern stands out Secure.,'* in place with tape, 2. Tape clear plastic wrap over the pattern (this protects tablr surface from marking pen Ink). 3. Cut your canvas 2" larger all around then desired finished size. (A 20" square finished size would require a 24" square canvas to start.) 4. Overlap masking tape aromjp entire cut edge of canvas. This step keeps your canvas from having a raveled edge. t J5, Now find the center' of yoi|r canvas and run a

thread through the holes on both straights of canvas (diagram #8). 6. Center canvas over your pattern using your thread lines as a guide and tape in place, 7. Trace your pattern outline with a Nepo pen or any make pen designed for marking canvas. Use a pen with.inkjighter than the yarn you plan to work with because sometimes the darker ink shows through your yarns. You can aiso use the graph method and count. You would need graph paper with the same number of holes per inch as your canvas. This is a more exacting method and will take a longer time to prepare because each little square on, the_„graph must be filled in (diagram #9J. The graph method will give you a more professional look and is the method I used to knit the Hawaiian pillow design into my sweater, I'm going to stop here for this time and let you work with these different crafts and next time I'll cover using your pattern with ceramics and embroidery. A couple of happy notes — I'm leaving October 12 for Washington D.C. and the Continental Quilting Congress. Hope to have many fun things to share with you when I get back. Also above is a picture of my latest project. The motif is Pua Pake, the Chrysanthemum, and the design was inspired by my bedroom lamps. The border was taken from my wedding ring which my husband, Ronald, got for me at Mings. Happy Crafting!

Also through meetings to be held on each island at which trustees could share with those that elected them, the progress that has been made. 4. My qualification as a Trustee first and foremost is that I am a Hawaiian, second is that I care for my people, third is that I shall work for the betterment of conditions for all my people. 5. My mana'o on my candidacy for Trustee is for more educational benefits for our young, job training for the unskilled, housing for families and coordinating programs for. the elderly. Kepoikai Aluli 1. The Administrator should be mature, well educated and have a successful work experience record. 2. The Administrator should be of Hawaiian ancestry in order to have the basic instincts for his/her blood relative, to be able to better relate', and to have experienced the brown person's Hawaiian adventure in the U.S. and abroad. 3.

Pioneer of Hawaii's first co-op apt-hotels. 5. The things needed to be done are massive. It's a question of doing them as expeditiously and swiftly as possible.

OHA's Director should have: 1) Vast experience in Public Administration 2) A knowledge of government budgeting systems 3) Public speaking and advocacy skills 4] Firm understanding of State and Federal legislative processes 5) A protective skin against slings and arrows 6) Vision 2.

The entire criteria (education, management skills, etc.) should include a Hawaiian spirit and heart in working with everyone and the ability to humbly communicate and listen to the needs of our people. 2. Every effort should be made to search nation-wide for a Hawaiian candidate that would make a super administrator and Director of the OHA. If no one can be found, we should look for another individual, be it haole, Japanese, or any other race, but he or she must meet the qualifications of that office. 3. I will pursue every avenue of communication in keeping in touch with the voters and also the nonvoters who through the process of education and aloha will understand our goals and objectives, then stand with us in unity and purpose. 4. My early experiences as a Hawaiian growing up as a homesteader on Molokai, with #reat kupunas for teachers, initiated my thirst for education that motivated me through many schools of higher education.

My experience in organizing and personnel management will assist in making the initial establishment of OHA a successful one - an office which will keep tabs on all Hawaiian programs, one which will establish programs responsive to the needs of Hawaiians. My priorities include safeguarding

our assets, continuing and building on our current emphasis on education and more emphasis on improving the economic status of Hawaiians.

Rita Kaniu-Gill The economic crisis building up to the worst depression these U. S. have ever seen, turmoil spreading throughout second and third world countries, U. S. monopoly capitalists are desperately using dual tactics forcing the working class Hawaiians to take the brunt of the crisis, while gearing up for World War and Fascism. OHA can never provide for real needs of Hawaiians. OHA takes money away from working taxpayers, lets big business and the Capitalist class off the hook. Neither land and money reparations nor Hawaiian Sovereignty will result from OHA. This is just another dead end trick to mislead Hawaiians. U. S. corporations hope Hawaiians will vote for OHA, shifting the blame from themselves. A few Hawaiians get high paying jobs, the vast majority get nothing. Only a Socialist system can take back stolen lands and guarantee Hawaiian * Sovereignty. I urge Hawaiians NOT TO VOTE on OHA. Instead fight for Socialist Revolution. Ethel Hi'ilani Gurczynski 1. a.

5. I strongly advocate the ohana by helping kupunas and parents help themselves. Pnly when individual and collective resources in ohanas have been exhausted should OHA enter into the picture.
