we’re not going to learn hula dancing . . . although
Stacy is guaranteed to entertain and educate you with
stories from her many trips to Japan and Hawaii. You

design, and get 2 blocks from 1 “cutting”!
Learn some great machine appliqué methods as you
complete the sewing and assembly of this gorgeous
project in almost no time at all. If you’re quick
enough, there might be hula lessons after all!
 Kit

Kit contains; Kit contains; 1 Hula Hoop
- fabric dyed in the “Hula-Hoop” style radiates color
from the center out, and from this piece you’ll cut your
design. Because it is a "2 for 1" project the kit has 2
patterns, Palm Beach and Hula Flower. It has four 8 X 9
inch sheets of Shades SoftFuse, just enough to do the
project one time.
It also has 2 squares of black or 2 squares of white
Kona cotton to use as background for the appliqué (20
inch sq. & pre-washed!), batting and backing is also
provided.

background or a white background.

sewing supplies, SHARP SMALL scissors for cutting the
appliqué.
