Barbara Bieraugel Designs offers quilt designs for you from Hawaii. The applique and pieced quilt patterns are often tropical or nature inspired.  Realistic applique patterns offer you colorful tropical fish, butterfly, flowers, sea turtle or honu, and even a couple of giraffes.  Many of the Hawaiian quilt patterns were designed from those flowers in my gardens here in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. 

A Free quilt pattern will be given to one lucky person who signs up for my newsletter this month. 

Theresia Hein is the June winner of a free pattern. Congratulations Theresia.

The next winners name will be posted August 1st.

Lei Pua, my newest pattern is a beautiful small wall hanging that features tropical flowers (hibiscus, heliconia, bird of paradise, and plumeria) with a maile and laua'e fern lei in the border.  You can find it in my catalog. 

Stash or scraps, and don't we all have them filling up the closet and boxes all around. The following patterns work really well to use up some of those fabrics:  Two Block Tango, Giraffe Twins, Ocean Sunset, and Sweet Pea.  Two Block Tango is a great pattern for a scrappy patchwork quilt and it has instructions for three sizes and the two blocks can laid out to make numerous designs.  It is really fun to twist and turn the blocks to see which way looks best with your color choices.

Quilt Passions store is part of my web site so that you can find more of your quilting needs. We offer mostly beautiful batiks.  There will be more items added so be sure to check back to see what is new. The next time you are visiting the Big Island of Hawaii stop in at Quilt Passions located in the King Kamehameha Mall, Kailua Kona, Hawaii and visit with Karen Barry (owner) or one of the other gals that work there.

Quilting should be an enjoyable experience. I have tried to offer you patterns with complete step by step instructions that you can understand. The applique patterns that I offer all include full size patterns for the applique and show a full quilt layout. Most of the applique instructions given are for hand applique but other methods will work just as well. The patterns can be appliqued to be realistic in coloration or as bright and wild as you want them, since they will be yours and for you to enjoy!

If you are in the Hawaiian Islands my patterns can be found at the following Hawaiian quilt stores: Quilt Passions, Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Topstitch in Kamuela, Big Island, Kapa Fabrics in Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Kapaia Stitchery in Lihue, Kauai, Needlework Shop in Lahaina, Maui, and Kilauea Kreations on the Big Island.

Any comments or pictures of quilts you have made using these patterns are always appreciated. Please join my mailing list so you will know what is new and anything special we are offering.

If you want to use any of my patterns to make a quilt for charity I encourage you to do so, but I would like to be notified about it so that I may share your joy in giving.

 Mahalo and enjoy!
