How to make a Heirloom Christmas Stocking
Very thorough and well done. Thank you for making this easy.
You are welcome, have fun making it!
This is stunning. Thank you for the easy approach and your extra care to explain the process.
You are very welcome! Thank you.
The mug rugs inspired me to make a slightly larger "snack mats" for kids. Not as big as a placemat, but just right for a cup of milk and a couple cookies or a bit of fruit!
That is a brilliant idea, would you mind if I use this theme later?
@@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 Go ahead, the more ideas we share, the better!!!
Absolutely beautiful! You have inspired me to go gather doilies 🥰 Thank you for your clear instructions ❤
You are most welcome! Lovely to re purpose these beautiful pieces of work.
Binding connections thanks.
Thanks so very much for sharing great examples. God bless you.😊
Thank you! My pleasure. God Bless you too!
🤩
I just found this tutorial & I appreciate the sincerity of your confidence in explaining the techniques used in making this block.I’m hoping to find, out by watching more of your videos, who won the quilt blocks.
Thank you! I don't quite understand about the quilt blocks?
@ You had said that your quilt quilt made squares and someone won them. That’s all. At the time I didn’t realize this video was posted 3 yrs ago.
Beautiful piece of work.❤👍
❤❤❤
Thank you for the class blessings
Thank you, blessings to you!
Beautiful, i love it. God bless you and your family.
Remarkable!! 👏🤩 I LOVE it!! 🥰💖
Thank you! I really love working with these myself.
Absolutely STUNNING!! 👏🤩🥰 I just watched a couple of your videos that came up in my feed and oh my! 💖 Love your work and your easy to follow instructions. I'm definitely going to try this with some non heirloom items I have picked up (to practice with), then I have some family pieces that I want to incorporate into lovely heirlooms for my grown children and grandchildren. 💞 Thank you for sharing! 👏 I certainly will be watching more of your past videos, plus any future ones that come in my notifications! 😁😎🤘
Thank you, your words are very encouraging. I love to use both new and old together. Old memories and making new ones alongside them! Happy Sewing!
Beautiful results! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! If you do any yourself, don't forget to send the photos through!
This is gorgeous and really simple. I now will make one for a pillow to go with the quilt I just finished! Thanks so much.
It is really simple, do remember I would love to see any photos of your work with this. Happy Sewing.
Gorgeous cushion, thank you for creating the video. If you do any natural dying, the off cuts that are stained can be added to a dye bath of something like tea, avocado skins/pits or onion skins, with a variety of other fabrics and laces, and used for another project made up of a number of different pieces from the dye bath.
That's very helpful information. Thank you.
I'm new to sewing (I'm 28 and I've picked up the hobby this past year) and I'm not very good but your videos are always super helpful. I think you are so lovely and teach so well. Thank you!!!
Thank you! You are so encouraging with your kind comment. It does get easier, and if there is anything in particular you would like to see, please don't hesitate to let me know. Kind regards, Elizabeth
Love your video ,I find it enjoyable to hand sew my cathedral windows
I have also hand sewn the Cathedral Windows, some years ago. I think they look beautiful. My hand sewing is not quite as good as some, but I do love to see others work. Kind Regards, Elizabeth
Very nice
I wish your microphone was working better I can barely hear you and I so want to watch your video what you’re working on is so beautiful
Sorry you couldn't hear it well. We will try to improve this. Thank you for letting me know. Kind Regards, Elizabeth
They are beautiful and easy to make. Great tutorial.
Thank you, I agree, so handy to take as a hostess gift or for stall sales! Always go down well. Kind Regards, Elizabeth
I have some of my grandmother's doilies. Glad that I came across to your video. What kind of fabric did you use? Please, email me the type of fabric or the names of the fabric. Thank you very much. Maria
The backing fabric is just cream Homespun. It is generally available in most fabric stores. I would love to see your work with your Grandmother's doilies when you have completed it! Kind Regards, Elizabeth
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you! This quilt has now been gifted!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I'm very excited to finally start a baby quilt. I've watched so many videos and yours is definitely the best.
Thank you, it does make a beautiful baby quilt. Kind regards, Elizabeth
Your work is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you, this was a work of love for me. I wonder how they ever made such beautiful pieces with limitations compared to what we have today. Kind Regards, Elizabeth
Thank you for treating hand made doilies and linens with such respect. I have a huge assortment of lovely pieces and you have shown me a wonderful way to repurpose them to share with family and friends.
Thank you for your kind comments, I just love to preserve these pieces. So much skill and care was taken when they were originally made. They are wonderful to hand down to the next generation. Kind regards, Elizabeth

Thank you, Elizabeth,for your stippling tutorial. I have been a fan of stippling for many years. I took a class from Harriet Hargrave and it's always my first choice when I quilt. I love it's soft, vintage look. I am so happy to have found you, my new friend! ❤
Welcome and thank you for your kind words!
Beautiful
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
This is so helpful! I am struggling with the binding. Back to my sewing machine, but I bet I will be successful this time.
That is so good to hear, thank you!
Excellent!
Thank you!
Estimada amiga, hace ya mas de 30 años que hago pastsword, 10 colchas e infinidad de cosas mas pequeñas. Y la catedral, siempre se me resistió. Después de ver su video, me parece sencilla. Ya estoy escogiendo telas para hacer un camino de mesa. Gracias por sus explicaciones desde Barcelona.
So happy to hear that. I love the Cathedral window. Do post a photo when you have finished, would love to see it. ❤️
Love this idea. I have many doilies from my grandma. Did you machine stitch the doilies or hand stitch them on? Beautiful!’
I machine stitched as far as possible, and any remaining edges that still were not secure, I hand stitched. Happy you loved the idea.
I've made the quilt up to the point where you put the "window" squares in & topstitch. My problem is that there is a quite noticeable lump where the seams are joined underneath the windows. Can you suggest a way to soften these or hide them. Would a square of batting help under the window?
See if you can flare out the seams a little where they all join underneath. This can eliminate too much thickness and avoids the lump. Sometimes if the seams are all pressed in the same direction it can create this problem.
These cushion covers are absolutely exquisite. Thank you for sharing this advice.
Thank you. They make a lovely keepsake for future generations too.
Thank you!
You make that look so easy
Thank you. Now it seems too difficult for me, I’m not a wizard with sewing with the machine but I’ll watch your tutorials and hope to learn
I love your tutorials. They are easy to follow and very informative. Thank you Elizabeth all the way from Texas!!
Thank you! I am in Australia, but have relatives in Texas, lovely to hear from you!
@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 Hello!! I would love the pattern to the casserole carrier. I have tried looking for it and cannot find it. Where can I purchase it?
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Karon 😁
Snowmen are my favorite ⛄️☃️
They are great for children at Christmas or just in winter! 😁
Just beautiful work. I love this pillow. Thank-you.
Thank you for your kind words. ❤️
Where did you get that fabric?😊
Hi Tina, The Fabric I bought from a Spotlight store. It is called Rainbow Galaxy, No. 9330458365675
Thank you for telling your story. In my little corner of America, I hadn’t heard of what encephalitis did to a survivors. I didn’t even know there were survivors.I had only heard it hit children the hardest and they rarely survived. There was an awareness after hurricanes because of the mosquito population surge but it sort of fizzled out after that. Anyways, thank you for speaking up and providing this lovely tangible remembrance of those who helped you along the way of recovery. I love your tutorials.
Thank you for your kind words. At the time I had it, I was one of very few survivors globally, and no treatment was available. No MRI's etc. But my cameraman, husband, was my carer. He did a great job, with our two very small children at the time, raising them for quite a few years. I am glad you enjoy the tutorials, it's so worth the effort when people respond as you have.
