    I made my first quilt in 1980. No rotary cuter or mat. Used cerial boxes for templates. 2 years later Elenor Burns was on TV with her quilting, Quilt in a day, Rotary Cuter, Changed my life!!!

    Hey Chelsea, I just wanted to mention that my daughter-in-law recently purchased an electronic planner that is connected to her phone. It hangs on the wall, and she is able to see calendars, schedules, etc. And it scrolls through family photos when not in use. It’s really cool!

    I got a walking pad for Christmas and put it in my quilting studio. I find that I have been sitting and sewing for too long. I now set a timer on my watch so I know to stop, get up and walk for 30 minutes and then start again. In fact I walked to A Quilting Life podcast this morning. I love y’all’s podcast, so full of great quilting knowledge and fun interactions between you three. Thanks to for all you do.

    Years ago I started a restaurant bucket list. I add restaurants that we haven’t been and then we can look at it when we are going out after a symphony or play.

    Sheri and Chelsea, I just want both of you to know how much you have helped me get organized with my quilting. Your project page sheet that you shared with all of us has been a HUGH help. I have got two baby quilts done and I’m stretching a quilt top that I did last year . Also cut out another baby quilts done for a family member. All of this done in this month! Thank both of you so much. Billy thank you for doing the videos. You do fantastic work!😊❤

    Oh, one other thing, I learned a lot about sewing from my Granny. I remember her showing me how to create my own patterns using newspapers and she guided me through making my first quilt when I was about 8. I still have it 🩷

    I’ve worked from home for over a decade. At the end of each workday, I announce that I’ve “commuted home”-basically, that I’ve logged off from work for the day, put away those resources (laptop, notebook, etc.), walked out of my working space, and am focused on being “family me” rather than “work me”.

    I started quilting in 2003 and I remember being so frustrated with trying to match fabrics to make a quilt. For me, all the different precuts have made quilting so stress free, fast and FUN!! Love how we can now let a designer “match” all the fabrics for us to give us a gorgeous quilt!

    • @colleenquiltstoo
      @colleenquiltstoo 8 днів тому +1

      Good point! Also, fabric lines and designers are promoted now. They weren’t at all in the early 2000’s. In fact, I was told not to use fabric all from one line because it was too matchy matchy and would make my quilt boring. Now that’s really common and the quilts are anything but boring!

    oh such a great episode! Love the goals! SHerri, my daughter and son in law are fitness trainers, and sometimes if she hasn't gotten her steps in for the day, she walks the house, so good for you! As for where will quilting be in 25 years? My thoughts are will fabric be made any differently? Will the design process be different? Chelsi can you imagine how your designs might be done differently. The AI thing scares me too. Its weird when you look at a designer who almost copies a design from another. Scary stuff. Loved the episode! Happy 2025

    My husband has worked from home for 20+ years and has learned the art of shutting down after a long work day. One tip that is of tremendous help; before ending his professional day, he takes 20-30 minutes to write down anything that he needs to follow up on or that his direct reports need to work on, goals for the rest of the week, etc. He’s in tech so some things wouldn’t carry over to our world but taking time to write our thoughts, our plans for the next day, or for the next project would help with both organization and clearing our minds to fully walk away to enjoy our private lives. Thanks all, I enjoyed listening, as always. 😊

    Beautiful quilts. Good podcast. For me what i see as a big difference from the 90s is long arm quilting. Women did more hand quilting and domestic machine quilting. In other words, quilts were completely finished by the person who also did the piecing. Today we make our top and then someone else actually makes the quilt. Maybe binding is done by the person who does the piecing but we dont finish it ourselves. Quilt shops and quilt shop classes are more sparse. Fellowship is missing except for youtube.
    Thanks for another good show.

    3:2:1 ….. thank you for this simple concept, Chelsea! I love it. Getting outdoors in the winter (NORTHERN New York state) can be challenging or easy to talk myself out of. I can’t get the sunshine aspect by going up and downstairs to my sewing room. 😂

    I fractured my back on December 10th and had surgery to repair the fractured vertebrae on January 13th. Prior to my injury I woke up every morning, made my husband a coffee and went for a 4-5 mile walk. I live in the Phoenix metro area so walking early morning, especially in the summer, was best for me! I can’t wait for my doctor to release me to walk again, not to mention, be able to sit at my machine and continue working on projects that came to a screeching halt the day of my injury! I love your podcasts, fabric and patterns! Thank you so much for sharing all of your talents!❤

    Oh Billy, how I wish your Super Bowl prediction had come true! Now THAT would have been a game to watch…maybe next year! I have some Detroit Lions fabric in my fabric drawer just waiting for them to make the Super Bowl so I can sew pillow cases, banners etc.

  • @Sewmena918
    @Sewmena918 10 днів тому

    Great video. I’m thinking there will be a home binding device that automatically adds binding to quilts. 😊
    I work from home and I love that there is no commute. I rarely work after hours these days. One thing I am diligent about though, is using my lunch hour for household chores. This week for instance, my focus is washing baseboards, doors and trim. I made a plan to work on a specific area each day so that by Friday I will have finished my whole downstairs. Depending on weather I may do windows next week or closets.
    It keeps me moving and frees up my weekend for sewing.

    What a great discussion! It is nice to hear your goals and that you are making them more realistic. It is also nice to see what advancements we have seen in our lifetime too. The future is a little scary with all the AI possibilities, but my grandparents saw a lot of advancements too in the telephone, electricity and motor cars. We will see. Chelsi, I like your 3-2-1 Idea! I try to put movement in my day but never take time for it. Thanks for the idea! Happy New Year to all!

    Thanks for yet another enjoyable video! Just a heads up to Sherri about the Letters to Santa quilt she wants to make in 2025 ... I made a generous lap size that I gifted to my son's family in 2022, and it was A LOT of work! Loved the end result, but I would strongly suggest you start planning it out now and sew a letter or two a week ... I wish I had started earlier than I did with mine! Take care everyone!

    • @kimpoper3711

    Sherri and Chelsi, I have a question for your longarm quilters: I do my own longarm quilting on my quilts. I have so much fun piecing, my stack of quilt tops is now at 15! I would like to know how to get motivate to quilt my quilt tops. I am not very confident in my quilting skills and I hold myself back. Any and all advice would be much appreciated.
    Thank you Sherri, Chelsi, and Billy for keeping it real. Love love love you and your channel.

    Nice video today. Chelsea, please use high SPF sunscreen when you spend your 20 minutes in the sun; that said from a former sun lover born/raised in S.CA where the sun always shone...now yrs later paying for it with skin cancer (that is under control). So, yes while the Vit D piece of the sun is good for one's health, otherwise sun is NOT your friend.
    Sherri, I like your idea of "shutting down" at a prearranged time of each day. It is so important to "unplug" and sometimes equally as difficult. I have noticed the volumes of planning, organizing, simplifying, minimalizing, time management books, podcasts, seminars, videos, etc., that have surfaced the last couple decades. I attribute them to the increased/increasing use of electronics that keeps us "addicted" to our devices. While I am a rather organized person just by personality, if I were to invest more time than I do in time management, life organizing tasks, I would have far less time to do all the things I love (think quilting) and do for my health and wellness (think healthy eating/exercise/face to face time with my peeps). My hope for the next 25 yrs is to get back to the human connection which feels incrementally out of balance with the humans' collective time spend in a virtual setting. Loved hearing many of your goals and ideas. So creative, just like your fabrics/patterns.

    In 1990s we had Thangles which were rolls of triangle paper and Eleanor Burns had a lot of templates she initiated in the quilting stage. I think the single change of 1990s/early 2000 is cost of quilting cotton especially in quilt shops & the number of online quilt shops would blow our minds in 2000. Thanks for sharing.

Our brains will turn to mush. 😢 I’m going down a rabbit hole because already our young kids/adults are more isolated than very before. On a happier note we as quilter can and do appreciate your beautiful quilts and learn from all you do, so thank you 👍❤️😊

    Chelsi, don’t laugh at your idea about quilting on Mars. There is an astronaut who quilted a quilt block on the International Space Station! I can’t remember her name, but I’m sure Billy or you can find her story. She then issued a challenge for quilters to send in star blocks, I think she (or the sponsor) received enough blocks to make more than 30 quilts! Great story!

    As a Chiefs fan, we were one of those sad fan bases for nearly 50 years. If you told me in 1999 that by now everyone would be tired of Kansas City winning the Super Bowl, I would have thought you were crazy. Flying cars would have seemed a lot more feasible. Go Chiefs!

    I think, in less than 25 years, the papers from paper peacing, will have some lines in the back, so we don’t have to trace them.
    Also, the fabrics will have some lines as well, so we don’t have to draw them, when we want to make half square triangles or similar…
    Btw, the bamboo idea is not bad, but we still need our rulers to be transparent, so we can see the fabric:)
