I don't know about you, but typically when I see a youtube video that's an hour and twenty minutes long, I'll pass it by. Not with you, though. I am one of your subscribers and I always love every single minute (and hour) that I visit with you. I always feel like I'm visiting with a friend. You are such a kind, humble, talented lady. I appreciate you. PS The porch swing quilt -- wow! I wish I could find fabrics in those vintage colors. 😍
I disagree. You tube videos can be paused or stopped at anytime to continue another time. I appreciate the great videos that Tammie releases. She is so positive and sweet
@@donnahutchinson2464 Yes, the ability to pause the video goes without saying. My point was that I do *not pause, but rather that I always stick with Tammie's videos from start to finish and "I always love every single minute because "I feel like I'm visiting with a friend" who is "kind, humble, and talented." I think we're actually saying the same thing. We love Tammie! 🙂
I agree it’s like being at guild with a trunk show but from the comfort of my couch. Love it! And her knowledgeable expert ProStitcher quilting tips are an absolute bonus to those of us running the same program. ❤
I love your oldest WIP. I think you should leave everything as is, quilt it and finish it. Will still be a beautiful quilt and lots of stories to tell. You are amazing.
On this beautiful gold green and maroon l would just quilt it. It’s beautiful and will be ready to enjoy- and it has a great story! God bless you and your family
On your older quilt, I would find someone with an embroidery machine, have them scan your sunflower block and stitch up the other blocks. Because, as you say, all quilts deserve to be finished! Congratulations on 3 grand babies coming!
Another video full of instruction and learning from you. I love that you’re sharing your quilting journey with us. You are such a talented quilter and I look forward to each and every video you share. You’re a favorite indeed! Regarding your scarecrow quilt-my vote is to remove the 2 sunflower blocks and replace them with plain blocks. Call it finished and put it on the long arm for a beautiful addition to your Fall collection. We’ll all wait for your decision and look forward to seeing that WIP as a finished quilt. Good luck! Have a great week!😊
I am laughing because lots of followers are saying what I was thinking - that every quilt deserves to be finished. I know it would take a lot more work, but my vote would be to complete your quilt as you first envisioned it. What a trip down memory lane it would be embroidering the flowers if you can find them! Such lovely quilts on show today. Congratulations to those whose we saw today. Such a lot of work in many of them. Well done everyone
I enjoy hearing about your quilting journey and seeing your early quilts. I too would make throws etc. to "practice" on and have something usable. I would either replace the 2 sunflower embroidered blocks OR add another 2 in the opposite corner and call it good. BUT absolutely finish it BECAUSE Every Quilt Deserves to Be Finished❣️ Someone whom I admire has a similar slogan 😉. And it is a part of your journey. Now, I am going to watch the rest of your video. I'm sure that I will love everything!
I also liked Thimbleberries patterns and made many of them. The porch swing quilt I also made king size for my bed. I loved the fabrics. Many memories with these quilts! I enjoy your videos.
I recently found your UA-cam channel and enjoyed it. So, I started at the beginning and have been binge watching them while I work on my quilts. I’m so excited because I have caught up with this recent one. I do love watching and listening to your show.
Ok. I would change the two sunflower blocks and put a solid cream or white or whatever that is - in that economy block (I think that is what it is called) and finish this one. i know this is an older video, so you may not see it, but that is what I would do. And then just quilt it and finish it. Put those sunflower embroidered blocks in an orphan block quilt.
You know me, I pick a favorite quilt each video. This time, It's all your old quilts. They look comfortable, well loved. Just as quilts should be. I saw no mistakes, just loved n used. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
“Every quit is worth finishing” I heard that somewhere. 😊 I think you should embroider the sunflower. I enjoy all your quilts. I know you are very busy, but I really think you want to finish the quilt. Thanks for sharing. ❤
It's so fun to see quilts that are from some of the same patterns that I have made or plan to make! For example I've been collecting Lori Holt fabrics to make my Vintage Kite quilt. I hadn't thought of the possibility of making it with white, blacks, grays--Sharon's choice of fabrics makes the quilt look so pretty, and the Fox quilt is simply adorable! I've been hoarding a fat eighths bundle of Corey Yoder's Spring Brook, and seeing Elizabeth's Jelly Roll Race quilt reminds me how pretty and Spring-like the fabric is--I need to get my bundle out! I don't have the Christmas fabric or pattern that Jane used, but I thought I'd tell you that from across the room I thought the gray thread that you used for the quilting was actually embossed on the black fabric--nice! Cute Christmas quilt! Elaine's Scrappy Spools quilt is really pretty. I like the fabrics she used. Mine is all finished (yay!). I used the Stitch pink 108 for the backing fabric on mine. I also enjoyed seeing the quilts that already went home--beautiful as well! Sorry I'm so chatty but I really enjoyed all the quilts in this video. By the way, love your Porch Swing quilt! It was fun hearing about your first longarm adventure.
your second quilt is stunning totally love the first and second one they are all stunning, sorry going thru you video in sections and love it, I know what you mean about the time it takes to make something with time and effort. and for it to be a productive and useable item in the home. Very inspiring xx God Bless you xx
Love the scarecrow girls! My first thought was to quilt it as is and use it. It’s a wonderful story. My second thought was….if you want to finish the embroidery …. Then either finish it using the sunflowers…if you can find the pattern…or use different flowers in the other blocks…randomly scattered about. Either way…it’ll be beautiful and loved.
And all the white blocks don't need to be embroidered. Perhaps only embroider some of the blocks randomly. That way it won't take as long to get it done. I do like the sunflowers so please include them even if they are the only ones you use. Personally I would probably separate them and put them near the center with the scarecrow girls between so they are also featured blocks. But it's your quilt and if you just long-arm it as it is, it will be well loved and finished❣️
I’m not a huge fan of reproduction prints but I must say your use of background and reproduction prints in your Summerville quilt are stunning! Can hardly wait to see that one finished! Great videos ❤ thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks 😊
😱… I would love to see the sunflowers finished BUT I’m going to vote for pulling out the two that are on there and finish the quilt… Im just one that never starts another quilt top until I’m finished with the one I’m working on… I do send to a friend that has a long arm machine to do quilting… as soon as I get it back, I finish binding it… I have done a large hoop hand quilting…used to use large old fashioned quilting frame for hand quilting…. that’s all I knew from watching grandma, great grandma and great great granny. I also like hand tying when applicable… I’m the oldest of 12…9 girls, 3 boys. I love your quilts!!! Awesome videos 💖
Regarding your WIP with embroidered scarecrow girls, I would pick out the two sunflowers and replace those squares with fabric like the other blanks. Relatively easy and then you can move on to quilting. Quick fix for your challenge. Thank you for your wonderful videos. m
I am enjoying seeing your early quilts. The ones you showed today are well loved and look so soft. On the little scarecrow/9patch block quilt, this is a hard decision to make, my first thought was to finish the sunflowers. Then I thought it would be easier and faster to take out the sunflower blocks. But in the end, I think you should quilt it as is , and use it, it tells a story. Happy Easter.
Have you considered adding sunflowers to those blank blocks that are around the edges? Once you start making them again you might want to do them all or maybe none. It all depends if your time is better spent on something you love more. Remember those negative spaces will show off your lovely quilting.Look forward to seeng it finished with or without sunflowers.
All the quilts are gorgeous. And the Jelly Roll Race quilt is the first one that has really captured my attention! Especially with the perfectly sized Baptist fam quilting.
@@elizabethlancia2377 You're welcome. It's a beautiful quilt especially w the Tammie's 'magic'. Our oldest son just made lieutenant at the firehouse where he works. He's an EMT and almost finished the course for Advanced EMT. Years ago I taught his wife, Yvonne how to quilt. She and I are working together making quilts for the station to have on hand for situations where families have lost their possessions. My interest is making quilts to gift that I'd like to receive myself And, still reasonably easy to make. I hadn't. Considered a Jelly Roll Race until I saw your quilt. Thanks bunches.
@@quiltgram3056 congratulations to your son. What an accomplishment. How wonderful to make quilts for needy families. I did the jelly roll race quilt in an afternoon. It was stress free, easy sewing. The only thing I forgot was to cut off about 12” of the beginning so the colors were more staggered. I still love it and will do that next time. 🪡📍🧵
@@elizabethlancia2377 thank you Elisabeth. I didn't realize it can be made this quickly! I have logged this quilt in my notebook along with the color values that I found so attractive. Now I'll go and add a Notation so I'll remember about cutting off the 12 inches.
Oh Tammie your Summerville is looking gorgeous! I really like your color way and the border change is a great idea. The pattern it creates reminds me of a picket fence surrounding the community. 💕
Hi Tammie! I just watched the one with the Hometown Quilt from Lori Holt-first thank you for that, i had to then order the fabric and templates, watching that "tour of the town" was great! You also talked about loving big windows-i am moving into a house with big windows, however, i am super window cleaning challenged, any hints for that? I use windex and paper towels and the windows end up looking smoky and streaky :( LOVE your channel, always a pleasure to see your videos, thank you!
You've already answered your question. "Every quilt is worth finishing." If you feel up to embroidering all those blocks, then go for it, but I'd quilt it as it is. It has a story either way.
I love the spool quilt with the wave design. If i were handguiding that design with a ruler, it seems like it would be easier to start from the bottom and work up to the top. Does that make sense?
Yes, I understand. Running the needle along the top of the ruler and aligning it with the stitched line that was just finished. Great information @89sethy
Wait, where’s the Purdue quilt? LOL I’ve recently started documenting my quilts with a book/journal I found on Amazon. I have all the info down, but now I need to add photos. I was surprised how many quilts I’ve made over the years. Luckily I used to keep a blog and had many listed there that I might have forgotten.
COMMIT to doing one block a week or send it to me and I will embroider them for you. I have two embroidery machines, one being an older Bernina.. I'm in south-central Michigan. It just would NOT look complete without the sunflowers, but with them it will be gorgeous! I have tons of embroidery experience and can get those perfectly centered for you. I have put embroidery designs on many quilts. I will send you an email. Totally agree with the way you do borders as far as finding the halfway point. I do the same.
Love looking at your work. I just did edge to edge on my Amara that has a prostitcher for the first time. My BFF has a Forte and came and taught me. I have an HQ quilter that I ysed fir a decade. Having to learn the computer.
If the embroidery designs are saved on a card that fits in the Bernina machine, then you might be able to stitch them. If you need to use computer software to transfer the design, then you might be up the creek. I have old Bernina and Pfaff machines that cannot be used because the embroidery software became obsolete. I recommend you just finish the quilt as is. Can Amara stitch over those designs? I don't think mine would like that--but it likes to look for reasons to challenge me. Perhaps try a hand at freestyle again?
I have two parrot panel quilts, Riley Blake color my world line, feathers are crayons on parrot any suggestions for a pantograph, panel is a parrot with solid black back ground.
I think Ikat works well for bird panels. But I have also used leaf pantographs for bird panels if the birds are pictured in trees. Or I’ve used Modern Curves for an eagle in flight panel. Lots of choices!
Unless you intend to get back into embroidery, don't waste your time making more sunflowers...if you had loved making them, you would have found the time to finish them. Do finish the quilt though.
Tammie my vote is to just quilt the scare crow quilt at it is. 🙋♀️

I think I would longer quilt the scarecrow girl quilt just like it is. It tells a story. I think it would make a great memory.
Thanks!
❤❤ finish the white blocks..I love it
I like the idea of having only the two flower blocks done in your UFO. Just get it done and enjoy it and the fact that you moved onward and upward.
Goodness! You look fantastic in that color today. It really brings out the beautiful you.
You are too kind! Thank you!
Applique sunflowers in the remaining blocks to finish the quilt. 😊

Oh thank you!
Tammie...such lovely quilts...your beautiful quilt top should be quilted as is...I really enjoy your sweet videos...best wishes❤❤

You did such a beautiful job on my jelly roll race quilt. I cannot wait to get it back. You are so talented and a pleasure to work with. 😊

I've made many jelly roll quilts but didn't use diagonal seams to join. I often just used scrap strips in say, two colorways (purple/pink), etc.

Thank you!
I'm with you. Forget practice pieces. I just jump in and pray. hahaha
Love it!
Love your videos
♥️
If you feel it won’t get done if you leave it to do the sunflowers then I say just put it on the longarm
Thanks for your insight.
My vote is to let it go and not embroider the sunflowers. You have plenty on your plate 🍽️ 🥰
Very true.

When i started using a longarm i made “squarles” = square circles.
It's all part of the journey, isn't it?!
The quilt has a story the way it is. I would finish it.
Thanks for your insights!
Ha Ha!!!! on the trash guys!!:)
In regards to you UFO and the sunflowers: (….and I quote 😂). EVERY QUILT IS WORTH FINISHING!!!!

Love the Fox quilt, I have the pattern but that’s as far as I’ve got. May make a pillow.
Sounds great!
Say what you will, but it looks pretty tome. Thanks for sharing.
So nice of you!

No Purdue quilt but I am rooting for them in the Final Four this year!
I’d put 2 sunflowers at the opposite corner and leave the rest as is.
Thanks!

Totally agree with the way you do borders as far as finding the halfway point. I do the same.
I would not waste my time, but would give it someone who enjoys machine embroidery.
Great idea!
The UFO needs the sunflowers, even if you just do every other block in the diagonal rows of white blocks.
Thanks!
Use fabric markers and have your family write something sweet for you
Great idea!!

If you need to use computer software to transfer the design, then you might be up the creek. I have old Bernina and Pfaff machines that cannot be used because the embroidery software became obsolete. I recommend you just finish the quilt as is. Can Amara stitch over those designs? I don't think mine would like that--but it likes to look for reasons to challenge me. Perhaps try a hand at freestyle again?
I sent the quilt to someone else to finish the embroidery. I may try a custom longarm finish since it is my quilt. Thanks for the encouragement!
Do you trim all the quilts you long arm or just ones you show on videos?
Sorry for my late response. I trim them all. Part of my service to the client 😊
Pretty quilts, as always, but the Porch Swing pattern doesn't look like the quilt you made. To me. Maybe its the angle?
Could be. It was the same quilt.
I have two parrot panel quilts, Riley Blake color my world line, feathers are crayons on parrot any suggestions for a pantograph, panel is a parrot with solid black back ground.
I think Ikat works well for bird panels. But I have also used leaf pantographs for bird panels if the birds are pictured in trees. Or I’ve used Modern Curves for an eagle in flight panel. Lots of choices!

Unless you intend to get back into embroidery, don't waste your time making more sunflowers...if you had loved making them, you would have found the time to finish them. Do finish the quilt though.
Very true!
Why don’t you use a cute prostitcher block pattern in those squares vs embroider them?
Good idea. Thanks for your input.
