Many prayers for your grand baby. I loved the fabric unboxing. I think you're friend (r.i.p) would have been pleased that her son gifted them to you because of your friendship and that you shared this interest and will put it to good use. I'm a member of the SABLE (Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy) Society and I wish I had a friend that had the same interests as me. I have so much fabric, quilt and cross stitch patterns, trims, rulers, etc. I have 2 Pfaff's and a 1948 Featherweight and would love to know I could leave it all to someone in my will that would use it. Glad he didn't donate it to a thrift shop but guess that would be better than dumping it. That's probably what will happen to my stuff one day, just dump it-so sad. People that don't craft just don't realize how much was spent on all this stuff or don't want to be bothered trying to sell it or haul it to thrift stores. I don't know why I make stuff anymore. I can't use it because cats are destructive but I just have an itch to create. I'm never bored. I was hoping to have lots of time in my retirement to do more crafting but I'm caring for my 91 yo Mom and her little zoo of cats. Now I need some PT......not exactly what I had planned. I do the best I can. Thanks for sharing.
I could not agree with you more! We sold a lot of her more expensive supplies to our quilt guild for very low prices. It was a win for her son and for guild members. We also donated supplies to them, as well. I wish I lived closer to you! It sounds like you have wonderful treasures. I hope you get a chance to enjoy all your goodies. Thank you for your heart-felt response.
Prayers for your granddaughter. What a collection of fabric. What a wonderful friendship you had!!

Welcome!
Your friends fabric is a treasure. God bless. Prayers for your baby girl🎀
Wonderful repurpose of linens and needlework, and if you have a airport gift shop you could go with some of the things you have made and see if you can get them to do consignment resale for you a split part of the profit, to not have to mail things anywhere. They would make fantastic last minute shopping gifts for people getting on planes to go where ever they are going, that are easy to put in a bag or just carry under their arms. Each is unique as you stated, and charge high price, they feel they are getting something very special for a loved one that cannot be replaced. You would do well. write up some kind of contract that is simple and straight forward. Go once a month to restock, and get copies of all receipts. Or sell them to antique stores, they will use them to enhance displays yet have them for sale. Just an idea or two for all your hard work. You could try to sell them at RV parks, as people would love to decorate with things that do not add excessive weight to the RV, but personalize the interior of their home. You could ask the park owner if you could do a Saturday trunk sale for the guests.
Excellent ideas! I am rurally located, so there are no airports anywhere near me, but I love your suggestions.
😊
👏👏👏this is do awesome!!! Thank you for sharing and teaching us this info. ❤️😀
So cute!! I love watching you put together projects!!!!!
Thank you for your feedback. I never quite know what to present.
Beautiful pillows
Thank you very much.
You were lucky on this box of fabric, very nice!
I agree!
This is soooooooo beautiful i love this quilt its fantastic
Oh man this box is like a dream box but ik I wouldn't be so lucky
I will watch this and the other video from 5 days ago later tonight but I wasn't notified. I checked my notifications list and it wasn't there. I un-subscribed and re-subscribed and clicked on all. Will see if that helps.
So cute!!
The quilt is just perfect!! Love it!!!! Good luck with the fair!!!
Ohhhhh that’s so wonderful👏👏👏 ❤️😀
Fascinating!! The dolls are gorgeous! So anxious to see you sewing the clothes!!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful dolls! Do you buy male dolls? I’m not a doll maker for years, but was not this elaborate . Good luck in loving your passion. Keep us posted on updates.
No, I don't usually buy male dolls. I'm not very drawn to them.
I love the intro! Those pillows are so pretty and creative.
Thank you SEW much!
You mentioned that you can use other stuffing besides pillow forms. What do you use to get a nice smooth surface when you don't use pillow forms?
I just use polyfill.
great lesson using this piece i never done that but willing to learn . i like ordering from ebay but!!! shipping cost are outrageous so i stopped. thks for your videos i learned sooo much!
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Wow what an interesting sewing journey! Your determination is amazing. My mother could make anything and sewed all of my and my two sisters’ clothing…plus she worked in a sewing factory! She taught herself to sew as a young girl. I, on the other hand, only sew if I have to. I do not enjoy it at all, but I am in awe of people like you who can sew beautifully. Wasn’t Rhoda’s shop the neatest place? It was my favorite place to shop! Enjoyed your video!
I loved Rhoda's Doll Emporium. I really owe all of this endeavor to her and my daughter Taylor. I just love to sew, but they encouraged my online doll business.
Great plan!! I had a home based business in the late 1980s sewing a lot of “country” type items, remember the bunnies etc in dresses, those items. I did extremely well for a few years and then we moved, divorced and so on. So like you said, stick with it and you can be successful!! You have the passion. The good Lord gave you the creativity!!! ❤️❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your journey 💕
You sound a lot like me I took home ec for five years in jr,sr school. I’ve always loved dolls. I have so many outfits for dolls so I have three granddaughter that are my living dolls, and I have two great granddaughters. They’re my special baby dolls. They will always get clothes from me just like their mommies did. As you say you’re behind I’ll never catch up. I’m so far behind, but I’m just blessed to be able to get up and love the passion that I have for sewing. I have my grandmas treadle machine that I used to sew with her who taught me how to sew when I was five years old, then we graduated to a 1962 pink Atlas machine I have that one also. I have so many sewing machines to even talk about it. You keep living that dream and that passion of yours and that will be a great retirement for you to be able to fill in your time. Happy sewing, and may God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! That pink sewing machine sounds darling!
Great retirement plan. So much fun too.
N0, l would not try it. I see to many unsatisfied video.
I understand.
Don’t worry about what someone says about you blowing your nose. It is your your utube channel.
Thank you.
Please don’t open every piece.
Last time people were mad because I didn't open it all.
I enjoy seeing each piece.
I wanted to see all of the pieces. I just received my mystery box. I can’t wait to open it!
@@cottagedesignsbyerin4548 I wanted to see all❤
You can get these boxes from MSQC for a better price EVERY once in a while. Once in a while they will put them on sale for around $80 or so. So with shipping, etc. its right around $100. But they only do that maybe 1-2 times a year. You just have to watch for it.
Thank you for the tip!
The navy blue with gold triangles does not look like a batik to me. Even though it may have "Batik" in the name, it's NOT a batik. You can tell a true batik fabric because the front and back look almost identical, and they never have a white selvage with product information. Also, right after you showed the three pieces of Kaffe Fassett fabric, you showed a fabric that you said kind of looks like a batik, but I believe it is actually a GRUNGE fabric from Basic Gray. When you become more familiar with some of these fabric designers and the kinds of fabric, you will be able to recognize them on sight.
Perhaps you should order a box and discern for yourself.
@@cottagedesignsbyerin4548 I HAVE, in fact, ordered several of MSQC's boxes, and I have many years of experience with fabrics, so I know what I am talking about. The MSQC bolt end boxes are of great value, and the individual pieces are quite generous. I DO know that there are many fabrics that LOOK like batiks but are not, there is a difference between true solids and fabrics that LOOK LIKE or READ like solids but are not, and there are several designers whose fabrics are similar to Kaffe Fassett's fabrics. Nothing wrong with that, of course. It just takes a while to learn all the little things about various fabrics.
Love to watch box openings, almost as good as me getting the box’s
I think the solid lilac/blue fabric could be a Kaffee Fasset to. It looks like one of his shot cottons. Great box! Thanks for sharing
Yes, it does look like a Kaffe shot cotton. You can tell a shot cotton because the warp threads and weft threads are two different colors.
Have never seen this MISSOURI STAR MYSTERY BOX
Go to their website and check it out. It is so fun!
That’s a lot of fabric for the price!!! Lots of gorgeous prints!! Especially Kaffe Fassett pieces!!! Great video!!!!
Yes! Thank you!
Tried this a couple months ago, didn't want to order it again. I received a lot if Chong-A Hwang fabrics. Found a 10 yd 1 yd cut mystery box and a 25 fq mystery box from Green Fairy Quilts. Shipping takes forever but they were more to my liking. You may want to give them a try!! You received some great pieces! Thanks for sharing!
I've never heard them. Thank you! I'll look into it.
I love Kaffee Fassett fabrics. I think the 3 boxes were chuck full of great quilting cottons. Can't wait to see all you make from it.
Yes! Thank you!
Very good teacher of hand quilting
Thank you very much.
Why did you include the audio when you blew your nose? That was gross and I shut off your video.🤧
They’re so sweet and beautifully made!!’
Thank you.
