Fabric Shopping Adventure! | Exploring A Charming Maine Quilt Shop
I’m sorry, I love your positive attitude. Sometimes life is messy….I hope it find you.
Hey super cute!👗
I enjoyed hearing your enthusiasm as you opened your box of supplies! The fabric you chose is beautiful! I would like to have yards of it! 😉 I have been sewing for 67 years. I have a very simple tip for you, regarding threading any needle, for any type of hand sewing. When you pinch the tip of the thread between your left thumb and forefinger, don’t leave such a long amount of thread hanging loose. Instead, try just allowing a very small amount to just barely peek out. Maybe an 1/8 of an inch. The needle is the boss, (in control) not the thread). With a needle in your right hand, put it on the tip of the thread, pushing the eye of the needle on the thread until you can see that the needle is threaded. I hope you find this helpful. Some people attempt to push the thread into the eye of the needle. That’s harder because the thread bends and wiggles. The reason why it is so much easier to do it the other way around, is because the thread can’t move, as it does when a longer amount is dangling loose. Also, get in the habit of not cutting thread, or embroidery floss (if you venture into the wonderful world of embroidery) longer than 18 inches. If it’s longer it is prone to tangling and you don’t need unwanted frustration. When I am doing hand sewing for any reason, there is another habit that I developed, that helps to reduce tangled thread. After every few stitches (3-4) I roll the needle in between my thumb and forefinger. It helps the thread stay loose, therefore it doesn’t tangle. The only way that I can think of describing it with more detail, is to say that my right thumb pushes in an upward motion while my forefinger is ever so gently, pushing down, or in the opposite direction. I’m looking forward to seeing your project coming to life! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Happy sewing!
Heartbreaking! I thankfully have an excellent long arm quilter in my town I found when I first started quilting in 2023. I am so sorry for your loss. Praying it gets returned. USPS is not what it used to be!
I would have made the same “mistake” with the cutting. It turned out really nice still but that is a bit frustrating. I wonder why they labeled the colors with letters on that first page when they didn’t match the letters for the actual block. Anyway, you did great rolling with it!
Nice block
Loves these blocks. Very pretty in solids and yet with florals or whatever pattern would look good too. Such a great pattern.
So pretty. I love the collection of blues in that block. Can’t wait to see how all of these blocks come together. Great job
I'm so glad you like it! It was definitely a different look than what I normally go for, but I'm really pleased with how it came out! Also excited to see it all come together!
I do see it in the after part that it’s a piano. I’m a beginner quilter and a beginner pianist 😊
That's wonderful! What a great combination of hobbies. I'm a much better quilter than I am pianist these days, but music does still bring me much joy!
Great craft room. Is that a piano?
Thank you! Yes, it is!
Fun to watch😊. Definitely dark turned. Great job!
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Swoon is a great pattern, but I would work on a quilt you already have started. I made swoon last year for my daughter's birthday, and it goes quickly. A great project to start (and finish) in 2025!
That's good to know it is a fast and fun quilt! I think you're right that it's best to finish the ones in progress first -- even though it's tempting to cut into that beautiful fabric!
Hannah - I have some 108" Camille fabric if you would like some yardage for your Spangled quilt. Just let me know and I'll drop it in the mail.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
How about making a table runner out of your 3” Socialite blocks? This way you get to use and enjoy the blocks you already made but won’t have to continue with the fabric you fell out of love with.
Love this idea! Thank you!
How far have you got with this quilt now?
Oh I wish I made more progress than I have! I've been having some issues with my wrist that has not been friendly to EPP or cross stitching. Hoping it will get better soon so I can make some meaningful progress. I plan to get an update out before the end of the year. 😊
I would like to see you work on your Swoon quilt!
Me too! Thank you for your feedback!
Yes! Do the gorgeous Swoon quilt and finish the Kona Solids! 🩷🩵
I have already made some progress on the Kona solids since posting! The end is in sight. Can't wait to show you!
Wow, such beautiful choices, you are asking a hard question. I'ts impossible for me to choose so I think that perhaps the one you are closest to finishing, go with that one. Just get it all completed and then think again. Keep up the good work.
Great advice, thank you! Makes me feel better that it's hard for others to pick what's next too. So many beautiful quilts, so little time!
I think all quilters have several to numerous UFO's. Both with quilting and cross stitching. Cross stitching was my first love. I always wanted to start quilting, but kept putting it off. I finally gave it a go about 3 years ago and am addicted to it, literally. I have to make myself sit and do cross stitching. I would spend time in my sewing room/guest bedroom 24/7 if I could. I would send the largest quilt top to the long armors, then I might want to tackle my least favorite quilt and get it out of the way. I am like you in that I work on projects starting 1-2 months before the actual holiday; sometimes that is just not enough time to get done what I would like to. I have thought of a plan where I would start on the next holiday as soon as one was over. Have not achieved it yet. Love you channel! Love your beauty and personality! I am a born Okie and will be turning 69 in Sept. You are never too old to learn!! Thank you so very much for sharing!!!!❤
Thank you so much for sharing your quilting journey with me! I love that you learned something new later in life. I respect and admire that and aspire to be that way too! Based on your comment, I actually sent the largest one (Beach Day in Dwell) to the LAQ and I am SO excited to see it fully finished. Thank you for the suggestion!
Isn’t it funny how we say, “That’s not my style, BUT…..” 😀 I do that all of the time and it stretches my imagination. (I’m excited to start your quilt pattern! It's at the front of my binder looking happy and bright.) Thimble Blossoms is just adorable and yes, the cuddle might be a nice addition. That and Kona ;) They would be my recommendations t finish. I love the Socialites (oops Sewcialite) fabric - Kind of French Country? But that’s a LOT of work. I’m not into that tiny work, unless maybe EPP. Impatient-me? LOL Designer Mystery Box - so pretty! That Christmas quilt backing - yummmmmmy. Yes! =========================================================== I love the Lighthouse quilt. Sucker for the theme and the traditional pattern. The Riley Blake fabric Mysterious Gingham Fields quilt may be number 1. My thoughts 🙂 Really enjoyed going through all the goodies with you.
You are so right! I love having a variety of quilts and trying new things! I was that way with batiks and then I made my Ocean Currents quilt in batiks and it's one of my favorites of all time! I have set my sights on finishing the Kona Solids one next, so thank you! As always, thank you for your thoughtful comments. 💜
@@EaddysCraftRoom 🫶🏻
Since you have a large credit at the quilting store, now is the time to get your biggest quilt quilted. It would seem like the dwell quilt would cost almost nothing, comparatively is you used the credit for it
You are absolutely right! That's the one I decided to send off 😊 It made it super easy on the LAQ as well as the size I previously paid for was almost identical and I went with the same pantograph. Just a change in thread color. SO excited to get it back! Thank you!
My choices to finish first are the spangled and then the barn quilts. They are beautiful. And don't start the swoon quilt yet. Save it for a reward when you finish some others!!
Love this, thank you! It's so hard, but you're absolutely right. Saving the Swoon quilt for when I am in need of a fast finish and focusing in on closing out some other WIPs first!
I think you should make your sewcialites 2 into a small project (pillow? wall hanging?) instead of forcing yourself to do tiny piecing with fabric you don't love anymore! you could use your favorite 12 blocks and just do a 3x4 setting and get it done! or make 3 more blocks and do a 4x4 setting. The other project I would choose is the kona solids quilt because I think you're the closest to finishing that one!
I was thinking the same thing! A smaller project like a wall hanging reminds you where you have been and inspires you cus you have learned SO much since then. But hearing how much you didn’t enjoy socialites, and did enjoy some of the others, should be your first hint. Crafting should bring joy, or at the minimum not dread. ❤
Thank you so much for this idea! I love it!
You are absolutely right! Thank you for that reminder 💜
It was fun seeing your WIPs! Here’s my vote for what to do next - Prioritize Barn Sampler while it’s still hot out and acquire the fabric you need while it’s still available. Stop when it starts to cool down and you get Autumn feelings. Make at least one if not two more rows of spangled before putting it away for a while. When you go back to it, having two or three rows done will be much less intimidating. Push through to get the Kona solids one done this year but maybe get it all cut and labeled in baggies and work on it in bits in between other more interesting fabrics. I feel the same way about solid colors! I would resist starting Swoon unless you have a bad day/week and really need the boost. I would put Sewcialites 2 into proper time out and decide at a later date if you want to fully finish it or maybe just modify it and make something much smaller with the blocks you already have. I definitely wouldn’t grit your teeth and finish it right now. My vote for longarming order - navy and white first (seeing it longarmed might motivate you with your Kona one!) and then the greyish greenish one. This might be something you have no interest in or time for but the simple one with Dwell fabric would look amazing with simple big stitch hand quilting in navy.
Wow, thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful feedback! Definitely considering all of this in my approach. Love your ideas for how to garner some inspiration for those that are posing a bit more of a challenge to finish. Appreciate you!
Daisy quilt
Thank you!
Congratulations on your first pattern and website! I’m new to your channel, saw your Edelweiss video and just had to make one. Couldn’t find a kit but had fun shopping for fabric. Just finished cutting tonight, will start piecing hopefully on the weekend. You are so beautiful inside and out, it’s a pleasure watching your videos, feels like a friend sharing her heart. All the best to you!💗
I'm so happy you're here and starting Edelweiss! Would love to see your take on it when complete. It was such a fun project! Appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best as well!
I’ve got 3 flower squares so far so it’s going to be a while as I work and also like to spend time with kids and grand daughter but I’ll send a picture when I’m done 😊
Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm also a quilter and this is my first thing I'm going to make that isn't a quilt. My daughter has begged me for a quilt jacket. So I'm going to try it It' since my friends gave me the by hand London pattern "nerrisa" I can't believe I found your tutorial !! Funny our first thing we seware both quilt jackets and the same pattern and also I have the exact same sewing machine that was my mother's that she gave to me the pfaff creative 2140!!! What a small world except for that I'm 50!! Thank you for all the tips!! I am sc ared to do this but seeing your video helped . I hate reading , I need to see it demonstrated!! Thank you so much!! Cindy
Wow, I absolutely love this serendipitous connection! I hope you have the best time making one for your daughter. I have another friend who is eager for one like the one I made in this video, so you and I will both be tackling quilted jackets in addition to all of the other similarities 😊 Enjoy and thank you for your kind comment!
If you have a cricut it’s very easy to cut your own card stock shapes. I also agree that you need more seam allowance.
Great idea, thank you!
Stunning quilt. I love EPP too. I have been looking for this pattern. Where did you get yours from? Love your tutorials. Thanks for sharing 😁
You know what, I was not able to track it down myself! I believe it was originally published in a magazine quite a while ago and was never reprinted. I'm just more or less eyeballing it based on the Insanity Quilts I've seen online!
@@EaddysCraftRoom I found it through Post Office Patchwork quilt shop in Australia. It was approx. $17 USD. Hope this helps.
Looking forward to your next quilt… absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Love your progress! And hey- stockings aren’t that difficult! I found a video on UA-cam 2 years ago & have since made like 12, it’s fun once you get it 😊 Headed to get your pattern, you go girl! 👏🏽👏🏽 Angie (my daughter changed our YT name 🤪)
That's great to know! I may have to add some stockings to my list of future projects 😊 And thank you so much for supporting my pattern! Would love to hear what you think of it and if you have any feedback to make the next one better. Appreciate you!
I am new to your channel and just wanted to say hi, I am loving it. You are drop dead gorgeous and you smile is infectious. Good job.
You are so kind! Welcome! I'm so glad you are enjoying my content and I am grateful for your time and comments!
I enjoy long or short videos! 😊 I am also haunted by long arm machines. lol, that’s a good way to describe it! The Moxie in particular because it feels almost like I could afford it but I have all the same reasons as you to not buy one. ❤
Thank you so much for the feedback! Glad to have someone who feels the same way about longarms. Maybe one day for both of us!!
I’m enjoying this very much. I didn’t realize #3 was released.
I'm so happy to hear this! Yes, it just showed up in my mailbox this week, so I thought it would be the perfect time to get to work on it!
👋👋 Mature 😂😂😂 ❤it. Fat Quarter mystery sure is pretty. Have a great weekend
I’m so glad you appreciate it 😂 I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well!
The block of the month blocks are lovely. I wish we could get nice things like that here. I have lots of scrap fabric and am thinking of getting some adding machine paper and sewing them up. Thanks for this lovely video, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! I hope you enjoy making some crumb blocks if you go down that path! They are fun to make!
You do a lovely job of quilting and videoing.
Thank you so much! Multitasking can be a challenge, but I’m glad you enjoyed!
I enjoy long videos so I can sew along. So I usually look for videos that are working on the blocks or the same parts I’m working on. I understand others don’t like long videos because of time. Since you will never be able to please everyone you will need to make videos that best suit you and your time. I know I appreciate those who make videos because I know the time and effort you all take to do them so thank you so much. ~Martha San Jose, California
Thank you so much for this perspective, Martha! You are absolutely right. And I do the same with watching videos while sewing! There’s a time and a place for all lengths of videos. 💗 Thank you for watching!
@@EaddysCraftRoom short or long videos I like them all! You creators are such a blessing to this community. I’d rather watch a short or long sewing videos than movies 🎥. Thank you so so much.
Love the quilt you are tackling and can use the tips in other small EPP blocks. There is also another quilt and book you might be interested in by Liz Lois called Nearly insane. The book is from 2005 and no longer in print but I was able to snag one this year but had started the quilt in 2019 with any finished 6” block I could find in other books. Like you I have many projects but also major life events happened. I had put it away but am resurrecting it now. If interested look up Fabadashery. Scroll back to I believe 2012 in her blog to see her story and follow along with her red and white rendition of the Nearly insane quilt. Easy to get the “Insanity” quilt and Nearly Insane quilt confused because the titles are so similar and they are quite the challenge! For some reason if it’s easy I find it difficult but if it’s difficult I find it easy 😅 After other trials of threads and needles I think I just found my sweet spot. Just started using a 100 wt Japanese silk thread by SuperiorThreads called Kimono Silk Thread and am using a beading needle. Love it! The longer needle is easier on my arthritic hands as apposed to the 11 milliner/straw needle and it is easier to only pick up a couple threads at a time. I know Sue Daley does not recommend 1 thread but if it’s good fabric it will hold fine and the stitches are definitely invisible.
Thank you so much for the recommendation! I just looked it up and WOW what a beautiful quilt! Maybe one day I'll get to it and be able to enjoy making such a beautiful project. Thank you for your tips as well!
I enjoy both formats. Depending upon the day, I may only have time for a quick video. But at other times, a nice chatty sew-along, even to only watch, is soothing. 😊 Edit: At the end now. This was like spending time in the DC area with one of my best girlfriends doing a little quilting, looking through magazines, and going with her (and hubby) to the fair. Only thing missing is that when I visited her, we would hit one of the great restaurants! There is such a nice variety of authentic ethnic food in the area. You can eat around the world! Thanks for the fun time. (The plane was a hoot :D )
Great to know, thank you! Yes, we have so much amazing food from all corners of the globe in the area. I'm grateful for that!
Southern charm quilts has a beautiful round the world quilt called Inner Beauty. I made one and it is the most beautiful quilt I have ever made. I think the fabrics I used were from the Someplace Grand collection, but she has many collections and they are all beautiful/ Her name is Melanie Traylor .
I just looked this up and WOW what a gorgeous quilt! Going on the project list for sure! And thank you for sharing about Melanie. Excited to watch and learn from her!
Congrats!
Thank you!
I stand in awe of those of you (like my aunt) who can stitch this way. My talent in this area is in the admisirng of your work 😊 Looking forward to watching the progress.
Thank you very much! It's a slow, but rewarding process :)
The Joy collection is just lovely. Can't wait to see this quilt come together :) One of my fondest childhood memories is of arriving in Indiana from Virginia and snuggling under a great-aunt's quilt in the spare bedroom. I felt so safe and snuggly beneath it after our long day of traveling. Quilts are magical!
Congratulations. 🎉 Heading over to the website to bookmark and order the pattern! It appears to be "Gumbo-approved!" Beginning to quilt after learning from my grandmother and watching my great-grandmother and great aunts is doing the same for me - all the warm, exciting feels. ❤
Emma Jones Vintage has some really good tips and she uses something called Hexiform. I’m old school and thread baste with thick paper so I’ve never used it. I think needles are a pretty personal thing but I’ve found that the Bohin Milliners needles size 10 are brilliant for EPP and most hand sewing because I have man hands 😂
Thank you so much for the tips! I will definitely check those out.
Absolutely loved your video! Thank you so much!❤
Thank you so much for watching!
Is your baby a British shorthair? He looks like my daughter’s cat that is a British shorthair. I hope to get one too. They have wonderful personalities.
He is! Truly the best cat I've ever met or owned. Incredibly friendly, playful, and has a whole lot of personality! We just love him 💜 I hope you get one of your own soon!
Stunning quilt (that background fabric, too.) It appears it is "Gumbo-approved." 😊❤ Really enjoyed the format. You made me think I could actually do this, too!
Thank you so much! Gumbo is one of my harsher critics, so his approval is important 😉 I hope you have a chance to make this one!
