Hello, welcome to my channel! Here you will find tutorials and other videos of quilts, crafts and gifts that I have created. Take advantage of the tips and techniques for your quilting, crafting and up-cycling projects. Most of all to expand our joy of quilting and crafting.
Easy Bowl Cozie
Hello Friends! I know it's been quite a while since I've posted a video, but life has been a bit hectic of late. I mention in a prior video that my husband and I were facing a large move and that has finally taken place. With that behind us, we're now in the process of getting our new life started.
This video contains instructions on how to create an easy project that has unlimited potential! Whether we want to admit it or not, the holidays are inching ever closer. A bowl cozie is a great way to make gifts that can be used all year long. Whether you're looking to keep a food or drink item hot or cold, a cozie is a great option. Also, don't forget to look for holiday fabric to personalize these gifts!
Thanks so much for your continued support. Till next time, Brenda.

Kentucky Fall Quilt

Hello everyone, our project today is a pattern that I have been wanting to try for a while now, only mix it up and make it my own. I knew right away what fabric I wanted to use seeing as how I love Civil War reproductions. After playing around with the layout, I finally found one that I liked best, and I hope you do too.

Grandmother's Flower Garden Memory Quilt
I love it. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome. I hope you have some beautiful hankie dresses in your future. I appreciate you watching and giving me a comment.
Thank you, I love this apron. Might make a few. Many thanks from Scotland. ❤
Eileen you are so welcome. I have been using mine lately. They were great gifts at Christmas time. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Are you going to Kentucky? Lol. Love your videos. ❤
Yes. What gave it away? LOL. So happy to be back in our home state. I hope to get set up for more videos soon. Thank you for the comment and watching!
@@BrendasQuiltRoom I am originally from Nashville, but moved to North Alabama to be closer to relatives.
@@nancysharon931 Being with your family makes a difference. Especially when you know God put you there.
I came upon this video a month ago, ordered some handkerchiefs and have 10 dresses made and ready to add some extras on them. It took me weeks to get the hang of the bodice, reminded me of paper origami, but I finally got it. I am making one each for my granddaughters. I saw several other videos on making this dress, yours is the best as the close up you have and pointing out important details of how, thank you so much. In Joy
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment! That is exciting that you are doing these for your grandchildren. I understand the trying to get the hang of the top of the dress. When I made mine there was virtually nothing on the internet and I did follow a paper origami to make the dress with my hankie. My husband shoots the videos and does a great job in my opinion. I appreciate you watching and also giving me a comment. I hope to have more videos soon.
I was wondering if you were in your new location. I love these bowl cozies.
Yes, settling in and finding a new daily routine. I hope you are doing well.
Cant wait to try this. Beautiful!
Thank you. You might get hooked on collecting hankies!
I need some hankies now...
😃 Be careful, it can be become an addiction. Like collecting fabric. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great quilt! Thank you for the PDF, I can’t wait to try this!
Thank you Debra for watching and commenting.
❤
thank you for watching and giving me a heart. I appreciate it.
@@BrendasQuiltRoom your welcome I love you videos
@@Pearls1971 Thank you!
Made one block to see if i liked it....i love it!
You can't stop with just one!
Cut (18) 2.5” x 4.5” rectangles per block. Makes 12.5” square block
Thank you for watching and giving me a comment.
I am amazed by your skill! You teach so clearly.love your quilts.
I am SO going to make this my next scrappy quilt. I am working on using my 5" scraps in an econmy block quilt. Thank you!!!!
Hi Phyllis, thank you for watching and commenting. I am looking forward to trying free motion quilting. I think these will be great to practice with.
"70 Acres Studio" on UA-cam has a few variations of the Potato Chip Block...as far as I can tell, the block named Potato Chip block was introduced by "Conquering Mount Scrapmore" on UA-cam... but I have heard it referred to as the Broken Courthouse Steps block as well..love this block! Perfect for scraps!
Thank you for watching and commenting. It certainly is a great scrap buster. I can see doing this in many color variations.
Love your video. Do you have a video on making the quilt behind you? Beautiful!
Yes. It was a previous video. Here is the link ttps://ua-cam.com/video/wRYefNXG9mE/v-deo.html thank you for watching and commenting.
What’s the pattern name for the quilt in the introduction? I love it!
That is a pattern called Hazel and Blooms. I think it was a Fig Tree pattern that I ordered a long time ago from Jordan Fabrics. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Absolutely love it!!
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks so much!!
you are welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Brenda thank you for the tutorial. I too didn't know what a potato chip block was. It is a great idea to use your scraps!! Your friend has fabulous taste, her scraps are beautiful. Happy Sewing and safe travels to you.
You are so welcome. I have already made about 50 of these blocks. I intend to use them to practice free motion quilting. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you for your very easy to follow video. You caught my attention with the garbage bag full of scraps. I have several.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. It did take me a while to get through that whole pile, but I persevered. I have about 50 blocks right now. I am going to try free motion quilting on them. The task may seem daunting, but you will happy when you complete getting through your scraps.
Another great tutorial! I have hankies from mom, grandmothers. Have been saving them until I found a way to use them. Thank you!
Sheryl, so glad you will be able to put those hankies into a project and have great memories. Thanks for watching.
I’m thrilled this came up on u tube! This is a great tutorial!
Sheryl I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Very nice quilt. I love the blue and the way you constructed the quilt was brilliant. Thank you so sharing this with us.
Thank you so much for watching and giving me a comment.
Brenda this is absolutely gorgeous!! What a wonderful project. Thank you for sharing your creativity. It is sew inspiring!!! 😊
You are so welcome and I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I hope you will continue to watch as I put more videos out in the future. Thank you for commenting.
Hi. Beautiful work. I have been thinking of making this quilt for a few years now. Where did you get the pattern from?
Hi Nydia, I honestly cannot remember where my exact pattern came from. I did have it in a few old quilting books. You can google online "free ocean waves quilt pattern" and several sites will come up. Unfortunately, I cannot reference my quilting books as we are packing to move across the country right now. I am sure you can find a similar pattern. I hope you do make this quilt. It gave me a great deal of satisfaction when I completed it. Thank you for watching my video. I appreciate you taking the time to comment on it.
Thank you for answering. I got the pattern from Fat Quarters and their paper to do the 1/2 square triangles. A little cheating🤣
Brenda, you do such a beautiful job! Both quilts are lovely.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching and commenting on the video. I wanted to do the Flea Market for a few years now, but just trying to find the time.
Thank you!! You’re great to follow in these directions!
Thank you so much for the comment and watching my videos!
This is the most beautiful quilt I’ve ever seen. Simply Gorgeous ❤❤
Thank you so much. I know I will treasure it. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I am subscribed with notifications on but I don't think I got notified when this came out. Glad it came up while scrolling. This is an interesting block. I would like to quilt minky backing on my Juki, but the first time I did so I had lots of puffiness, so now I'm hesitant to try again.
Janet, thank you for watching and commenting on my video. I am bit sure why you would not have been notified when the video was put out? I am not a computer techy person. This is the first time that I have used a product like Minky on the back of a quilt and I did not have any issues with it bunching up or anything. I have a Baby Lock Jazz II machine and am just learning to quilt my own quilts on it. I am not familiar with a Juki Machine. I do watch a girl named Tracy and she has a Juki machine. She has used Minky on the back of her quilts. Her UA-cam is The Sewing Channel. She may be able to answer your question. Again, thank you for being a subscriber to my channel.
Do you make any hankie quilts where the hankie is the dress bottom and you have to cut out a bodice from a sold colored fabric for the to of the dress
Nancy, thank you for watching and commenting on my video. I have seen that particular hankie quilt. I have not made one of those to date. I have a large stash of hankies and have considered making one of those. If I do that in the future, then I will surely make a video for it. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching and giving me feedback.
Beautiful hankies!! Can you show how to put them in a hanger?
first thank you for watching my video and commenting. Can I ask you what type of hanger would it be? Made from Paper or another type like a doll clothes hanger?
Hello! Like a doll clothes hanger. I've seen the hankie dresses with a tiny hanger. It looks adorable!
I've got an idea to work on this so you will hear from me soon.@@jemforever4458
The hankies are lovely in the uk hankies are much smaller than the ones you use but that’s ok because I like miniature things for miniature dolls so thankyou they would look lovely hanging in a 1/12 scale wardrobe x
Thank you so much for your comment. I hope your project turns out great. Thanks for watching my video.
Beautiful! Why am I just seeing this three years later?
I am not sure. We made the video, my husband and I because we could not find anything on the internet to show people how to do it. I am glad you found it and enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for posting. I’m an old woman so I am going to make one to cover my spare bedroom bed. Just beautiful!
I hope I never lose my ability to sew and quilt. Good luck to you! @@mike1968442
Thank you so much! These would be great on pillows as well, or on little girls dresses( maybe pillowcase dresses with an hankie dress added). So many possibilities.
Teresa those are all great ideas. Thank you for watching and giving me feedback.
Awesome job. I love the quilt!
Thanks. I am happy with it and hoping to learn more ways to use my Babylock to quilt my own quilts.
Your Ocean Wave quilt is beautiful, your quilt as you go is great. Loved your suggestion to get ultra fine batting, so that it wouldn’t be so heavy. I’m going to try doing gayg with this new batting and thinner thread. The quilt is so pretty, great job! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. I am going to try a couple of different methods. I know you did one already qayg. It was still a bit heavy at the machine putting it all together, but I love it.
Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Great job!
Thank you so much. I am looking forward to learning more about quilt as you go.
Beautiful work! The quilt is wonderful, a real masterpiece. You can be Rey proud of yourself. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the comment! I do really appreciate your watching.
Good afternoon - I have this quilt pattern and I've downloaded your notes. Is the carpenter star true to size (as in the pattern) or will I need to figure it out? The pattern calls for y seams.
Hello, I apologize for not responding sooner but I have been busy with church work and we have had storms and power outages. To answer your question, I do not have any "Y" seams in my pattern. So my measurements are for how my quilt came out. I did not have a pattern to go by and made up my own. I was just looking at a picture on Pinterest to make mine. Thank you for watching my video.
Those are so adorable
cant you just use material? Why hankerchiefs? whats the difference
Yes, I am sure you could just use fabric instead. It was just a memorable way to use something from the past in an era gone by. Hankies were used by so many people at time when disposable was not an option. I loved how my grandmother's generation made ways to reuse so many items. Let me know how the fabric dresses work out for you. Thanks for watching my video. I appreciate it.
I see now. Thanks @@BrendasQuiltRoom
Beautiful quilt. I love that it brings back precious memories for you. By the way, i finally figured out how to fold me hankie wedding dress!
Tanya, Thank you for the comment and watching. Glad you were able to make the Hankie wedding dress. I still have one that I would like to frame on my design wall.
Love this quilt pattern, thank you for the PDF. On my “to do” list. Have lots of 5” charm blocks.❤
I just love it too! I have so many quilts on my "to do" list also. I would love to see pictures of what you make. Thanks for watching.
Hi Brenda! Do you have a tutorial for the quilt behind you in your scrappy purse video? Great stuff.. love your videos!!
Renee, I do not have a tutorial on that quilt. I saw it on "Jordan Fabrics". The pattern is by Fig Tree & Co and is called Hazel & Blooms. I do love it, it was quite tedious to put together, almost like a puzzle, one row led to the next row and so on. If Jordan Fabrics doesn't have the pattern anymore, I would think you could try the pattern company. Thank you for watching my videos and commenting.
@@BrendasQuiltRoom Thank you for getting back to me !!! My search is on for this quilt! Can’t wait to watch your next video 🌸☀️🌿
@@reneewisniewski7773 Thank you!
@@reneewisniewski7773Hello Renee, did you have any luck finding this pattern? I am also searching for it, so far without success! 🌸🌸
Thanks for your video, and for providing the PDF. I don’t have Civil War fabrics, but I also think this quilt will look great in lots of different fabric.
This would look good in any kind of fabric line. I love that it reminds you of your grandmother. Thanks, Brenda.
You are welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Ty
You are so welcome. I love a quick scrappy project. Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I have lots of 5” scraps. This is great!
You are welcome. I hope you enjoy making it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much! I have been searching for a way to quilt some of my vintage hankies without cutting them!
You are so welcome. I am looking for a few more ways to fold them for quilts and I do not want to cut mine up either. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Have fun with your hankies and thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.
