Jenny and Natalie, this was a wonderful video! It reminds me of my mother and me. As an eight and nine year old child in the later 1920’s, my mother embroidered flowers on scraps of muslin that her grandmother brought home from the cotton mill. She said her patterns came from newspapers. When I was a child, I used to admire her pieces of embroidery. When my mother was in her 70’s, I asked her what she had wanted to make with the flowers. She said she wanted to make a quilt with the blocks. I asked her how she imagined it being. She told me she wanted green fabric between the squares. The fabrics were not squares at all. They were just scraps of fabric. I asked her if I could take them with me. I lived in a different state at the time. I went into my first quilt store. The lady there told me to cut them all down to the size of the smallest piece which was about 8 or 9 inches. I had 32 flowers, I cut them all into squares. I picked out a pretty green fabric and natural color muslin. The store lady showed me how to cut the strips. Every time I got to the next step I went back to the quilt store for further instructions. After putting 30 of the squares together, I put a larger green border and an even larger muslin border. I hand quilted it by outlining around the outside of the flowers and then used plastic stencils to quilt the sashings and borders. I presented it to my mother and she had it on top of her bed for a couple of years. She then came to live with us due to Alzheimer’s, at which time my husband made a hanger for it on a large wall. It has been on our wall for close to thirty years in two different houses. At least my mother was able to enjoy it for a few years.
You warmed my heart with that story. My mom was big on saving family treasures. I have instilled that into my kids and I love watching them do it to their kids. I know she will live on through us. She had Alzheimer’s too 😢. Thank you for sharing your story 💖
My favorite video EVER. My mother taught me to embroider when I was five or six and of all of the things I've done, it's still my greatest love. I just freehand wrote Scriptures all over my denim jacket and embroidered them. I wear it proudly. I have a drawing my mom did years ago. Now I want to embroider one each for my siblings on denim and frame them. This makes my heart happy. Thank you!
OMG Jenny and Natalie, you had my eyes leaking, this would have to be 1 of my most loved videos in your whole 15+ years, I was so touched that Natalie could even remember Ingrid. Absolutely Love how you bounce off each other and have such fond Memories of Ingrid. I don't embroider but that kit is the most Darling thing and your whole company should be so proud of themselves. This is an absolutely Heart Warming ,Walk Down Memory Lane and Salute to your Fabulous Grand Mum and Great Grand Mumma. I Love you Guys and of Course Misty too. Fabulous dedication to Ingrid, she was "JUST" Perfect. 💝💜💘🙏
I agree. I could feel the love and respect throughout the whole tutorial. Yes, i cried (still am while typing). Yes, MSQC is a company- but you truly have heart and bring that to the table.
I LOVE my kit! Beautiful. Easy to understand & use. Yes, I’ve started. One daughter & her two daughters asked, “Who’s that going to be for?” My reply, “Whoever treats me nicest!” What sweet smiles I got! I’ve been hungry for this since “Triple Play: … 3 New Fence Rail Quilts” - Natalie’s fed my soul. You ALL are so talented & diversified. I learned embroidery from Mom, grandmothers, aunts, etc. This daughter & her girls (11 & 14) can do it too! I see it as a skill we are to pass on - to connect lives & loves. I also taught it in Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, & our country. Stitching is a fabulous icebreaker with no language or age barriers! An important skill to enhance so much. And, Mo. Star Quilt Co. cerrtainly enhances my life! Thanks all!
Jenny and Natalie, this is such a remarkable trinbute to Ingrid. I suspect that she would be pleased that so many generations value the beauty of her work and amazed that strangers also love the beauty she created. I loved the interaction between you, remembering Ingrid, and the love you share in your family. I'll be revisiting this video when the world gets ugly and I need 25 minutes of family love, honor and respect. Thank you!
Over the years that I’ve been watching the wonderful videos from the MSQC I’ve thought that the love in the Doan family is almost palpable. In this one it’s so clear to see and it truly warms my heart to see that this love stretches over the generations, all held together by colourful strands of thread. ❤
Oh me too! You can see the love they both have.. The passion they both have. Accompanied by the love of their hobby and family! The comment above though I have to say that when my family and I get together we're all talking over each other. We get so excited hahaha!! I love it. We start on one subject and then land on 20 others!! Before you know it, it's been hours of talking. And yes all talking over each other. Multiple conversations going on at the same time! Love it!!
Thanks so much for this, my Mam spent 2 years in a sanatorium with TB in 1950, she stitched and I have them. She sewed + knitted most of our clothes, all ten of us. She turned old winter coats inside out and make new one. She knitted for all her grandchildren + greatgrandchilden. I quilt for all my family + friends too, it's never perfect but I have learnt to let go of my desire to be perfect @
I used to an embroidery as a teen. You two made me realize how much I miss it. Such a beautiful quilt with grandma’s gorgeous flowers. Now I’m on a mission! Thank you ladies!
What Beautiful memories. My mom just passed and she wasn’t a quilter but she was loving seeing the quilts I had been doing. Thank you for sharing the memories of your mother.
At my DIL’s baby shower we used fabric markers to draw on fabric squares. I decided to embroider the signatures to further preserve them. Turned out beautifully!
My mother was one of the oldest of 13. A very hard life during the depression. Lots of baby and child care for the oldest girls, as well as cooking and cleaning. A wonderful, patient mother to my brothers and myself. I did a lot of hand embroidery when I was younger but changed to machine embroidery due to arthritis. Your grandmothers embroidered flowers are beautiful and so precious. You are lucky to have them and the memories they bring. Nice idea to share them with us. Thank you.
My granddaughters were over on Monday this week and I pulled out my embroidery floss. The eight year old latched onto the idea of embroidery. I just washed some plain white square dish towels and will be ironing on a design. Can’t wait to show her how to embroidery. The five year old twins might want to join in as well. I’ll remember embroidering with my Great-grandmother when I was 6,7 and 8. It’s a timeless skill.
I have a 9, 13 & 14 yr old granddaughters. I might see if the youngest one would be interested in learning! My 14 yr old started sewing at 7 & the 13 yr old a couple years ago 😊😊
What a beatiful and heart warming sentiment to your Grandmother/Great Grandmother. An Ingrid's wildflower quilt will create memories and be cherished by each family that has one.
Oh, wow! What an exciting project to collaborate on! I’m sure Ingrid is smiling down on you right now. You CAN hear the excitement in your voices. Thank you for sharing your stories and special memories with us. Happy quilting!! 🧵❤️
My mom used to embroider on tea towels, bibs, pillowcases, etc. The denim quilt is such a great way to highlight the stitching. Ingrid’s flowers are so lovely. What a great addition to your family’s story!
This made me tear up! So many young people don’t value the old things. I do! I love this. So many memories come alive in watching this tutorial. Thank you so much!
My grandmother, Muriel, embroidered tablecloths with just only white French knots and decorative stitches. I love having her work so I know that Ingrid's embroidery means so much to your family. My favorite video!
Dear Jenny and Natalie, Thank you so much for this video. My mom taught me how to embroider. She use to sit and watch (listen) to the tv and do her embroidery. Each of my siblings and 8 of her grandchildren have a 50 state quilt (it includes the state bird, flower and the year it became a state). She has been gone over 10 years but your video brought back such good memories. Thank you again.
I received my kit yesterday, I learned embroidery at a young age, and that lead me to my cross stitching and love of quilting. I am so excited to get back into my hand stitching love! This quilt and pattern is super fun and not overwhelming to start back into hand work. Natalie, your mini series of videos is especially well done! Thank you all at Missouri Star for sharing this!!! ❤
So sweet. Thank you for sharing. My grandmother taught me to knit and she made Button front knitted sweaters for all 7 of her grandchildren every year.when we were kids into our early teens. I still have most of them that she made for me. Great love and memories. Thank you for sharing sharing your preciousmemories. ❤
My grandmother, who was 3 months shy of 100 when she passed, taught me to quilt. My mother taught me to do embroidery. .my two daughters both do embroidery & are incredibly talented. I am going to have them do some blocks so the quilt is a true family project. Now to get my granddaughter willing to try to do some, too.
I am not a fan of embroidery (I have no patience) but I think what you developed is a wonderful tribute to Ingrid! What a great way to keep her memory and inspiration going!
I learned to embroider from my Mother in grade school. In High School, I worked with my Dad havesting in the summer. I always had a pillowcase that I was working on while I waited for him to come around the field to unload. Later on when I got married, my mother gave me a lot of the sets of pillowcases as a shower gift. I still have a lot of them. I have done dresser scarves that we found unfinished when she passed. The first quilt I made was a sampler. I designed the center block and added mine and my husbands anniversary date in embroidery. Everyone in our family of 8 kids learned to embroider, even the two boys. When we had a blizzard, we would all get a dish towel to put a copy of a piece of fruit on it to keep us busy. I still have a large box with transfer patterns. This brings back so many memories.
This video was perfect timing for me, since I just finished a quilt using blocks that my Swedish grandmother embroidered when she was in her teens or 20s--which would have been in the 1920s or earlier since she was born in 1905. Grandma lived to be 95. She was never a quilter, but gave me the blocks that she had made, and I held on to them for years trying to decide how to put them together. I wish I could include a photo. Each block, 18 in all, looks like a little basket filled with flowers, then has a circle of flowers around it. The quilt turned out so pretty. I too am happy to have an heirloom from my grandma.
Wow! My grandmother embroidered too. I had a pair of pillow cases from she did, I wish I had saved them. I love this segment so much ladies, touched my heart.
I love this so much ❤ I have my mother’s embroidered table cloth. I was sixteen when she died in 1963 so I’m going to make it into a quilt. Thank you for your inspiration ❤❤❤
Jenny and Natalie, this takes me back to my childhood. My mom taught me to embroider at age 5. I embroidered napkins, table clothes, clothing. I did it all. I am not a quilter, but I do ;ove to embroider and I am looking forward to embroidering this quilt. Thank you dear ladies.
Imperfections are Real Natalie, I love it. Sometimes I get So hung up on trying to be perfect. I will never forget. I have beginners kit and this is my next. I love the togetherness with the project. It can go with me anyplace. Thank you so much
I have been hand embroidering for 60 plus years. I started doing bad quilts for my girls and then the grand children. I have even got all the great grandkids a baby quilt. I am sure I’ve done over 100 baby quilts. I’m looking forward to this series. Keep the good times coming.
I love love love this video!! You can see the love you guys have for the love your grandmother shared with her embroidery. My grandmother was a quilter and cross stitcher and crotheter. My aunt done embroidery and I love having things that they took the time to make for me or for their homes that eventually fell into my home ❤️ Thank you both so much for this series!!
I absolutely love this embroidery kit and the quilt pattern. Your family is truly blessed to have each other, to cherish the legacy of past generations and send your beautiful memories and love out to the world.
I love you sharing the family love. Thank you for sharing the story of Ingrid, her heirloom. I treasure this kind of embroidery from memories. As soon as I found out that it was a family love memory, I did not hesitate to buy this. I cannot wait for more of your family love of Ingrid embroidery. Thank you for touching my heart that way. We need more love in this world. ((Hugs to all of you))
I think it would be great getting all those that sew around you. Be it family and friends, each makes a block. How lovely it would look with many stories to tell. Amazing as always, ladies . Thank you for sharing this pattern.❤
OK, before your intro even finished, as soon as I saw those two kits, I immediately ordered both. What a fabulous idea. I have done embroidery since I was in my twenties. Never thought of making a quilt. Fabulous idea. Wonderful way to remember your grandmother. Thank you for sharing it all with us. 🥰🧵🪡
You brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful way to honor a talented lady. I'm sure she would be proud not only of the kits but of her family who thought to do this for her. I'm really looking forward to Natalie's series. These days it's all about the machine and at 72 I'm not investing in an embroidery machine. I love hand stitching.
What a wonderful tribute to your grandmother, Jenny! The kits are wonderful and I absolutely love the tin. I love collecting tins and large glass jars (e.g. mixed nuts jars) and I use them in my sewing room. Hand embroidery at the end of the day sounds delightful. Thank you both for the inspiration and providing easy designs/tools to use❣️
Thank you for doing this. Reminds me of the awesome things my Mom, Grandmother and my husband's Mom and Grandmother have done. They made doilies, quilts and clothes. This is just great!! Love it ❤🎉
I can’t wait for my fabric & embroidery kits to arrive. Looking forward to getting back into embroidery that I did as a child. Thank you for making this available for us. Your grandmother was very artistic! Thanks Ingrid. Your art will live on for a long time. ❤
I absolutely love this. I think in an earlier video Jenny showed putting together a bunch of embroidered blocks that her grandmother made and I loved that one, I was just thinking the other day that I would love to embroider something again and I guess HERE IT IS! Many thanks. You are blessed to have your grandmother’s beautiful blocks!! Well done ladies.
Last year I made my niece a quilt similar to this one. She likes denim, so I used a denim, Anita Goodesign machine embroidery floral designs, and Kaffe dots for the sashing. It is beautiful. I love the thread kit. Thanks for sharing this family history.
I ordered the embroidery kit immediately! I made a quilt out of embroidery kits I ordered from Amazon. I sold it to benefit Operation Christmas Child at my church. I miss that quilt so much. Going to to this one for myself 🥳
Natalie…absolutely mix your embroidery with your great grandmother’s. It would be a blending of the generations and a special nod to your grandma. ❤ I had a pair of jeans as a teen that I embroidered all over them. I absolutely loved those jeans. UPDATE: Maybe initial your blocks so generations to come will know who stitched which ones. And label your quilt!
OMG, I just love this. You knocked the ball out-of-the park with these kits, what a wonderful, loving memory for you ladies to share with all of us. Thank you, keep up the great work. (edited: OMG, I just placed for my for the embroidery tin, pattern and 10" square package, thank you!)
16:33 I look forward to the Friday video! What a wonderful tribute to your Gma and GG! She obviously believed in “idle hands are the devil’s workshop!” Fabulous!!
Love it so much! Love how you honored your grandmother and great grandmother. Ive embroidered for 50 years and made quilts for 40 years so this was precious to see!!!
THANK YOU! I love embroidery and to mix it with quilting is simply amazing! What a great idea! And the tin box is fantastic with everything that’s inside! Congratulations for this project! 🌺🌸
My grandma taught me to embroider and I wore my finger out putting embroidery flowers and such on my jeans circa 1970’s Love LOVE that you guys are doing this ❤
Love this video and the new embroidery series! I used to embroidery, cross stitch and needlepoint, but haven’t in years. You have inspired me and I’m excited to pick it up again. Love the “Ingrid” story. ❤
I'm the same way. In the last week, I have pulled out my cross stitch supplies and amping up my embroidery supplies. Makes me think of my grandma, who taught me to embroidery.
This is just so fabulous! It just thrills me to see such beautiful embroidery and the idea that you're using your grandmother/great-grandmother's designs makes it even more special. As a needleworker I waited for you to remind your viewers to press the embroidery from the reverse side on top of a padded surface to keep the stitches three-dimensional. Maybe next time?
My 80 year old momma embroiders all day, every day. I cherish her pillowcases and table scarves. She embroiders quilt blocks and I turn them into very special quilts! Last year she made over 50 sets of pillowcases. She gives them out for Christmas gifts.
I grew up learning to use my hands and imagination. My grandmother loved my dresser scarves and table toppers. She loved my bright and bold colors embroidering her dresser scarves. I would sit under my mother's sewing table and she would chain piece. As the blocks came off of her tiny sewing table, I would cut them apart and reach behind me, placing them back on her table. Then, putting the front and back together...and I would tie her quilts. These quilts were made to be used. My grandmother would make our bed quilts, and she hand quilted them with her wooden quilt frame... like a giant rectangular embroidery hoop. I remember when she passed, my mother received it. We both must have quilted a hundred quilts on it. I would sew all kinds of Barbie clothes. At that time you could purchase patterns. And I made my own Barbie house with box lids my father brought home from work. They were paper boxes. He would bring home scratch paper. My best friend and I would draw and paint in her garage endlessly. I'm not that old, but we used imagination on a daily basis for play. Quilts could make forts with the swing set and clothes pins. ❤😊
I love, love this!!❤ Thank You for sharing beautiful thoughts and memories and especially what Natalie said about us being human and imperfections are ok!!! I can't wait to order both kits.
I used to embroider ALL the time! Now I make quilts and cat toys. I don't want to embroider anymore, but this kit is beautiful! Even so, I'm not tempted to buy it. BUT, if one of my nieces ever starts to embroider, I'll be sure to buy one of these kits for her. Thank you so much for sharing your Grandmother with us, and her lovely embroidery! And this quilt too.
I am so excited to start this project. My grandmother taught me to embroider when I was in high school. My every first quilt was made with those squares. 60 years later I can hardly wait for my kit to be delivered. Thank you so very much 🥰
Jenny and Natalie, this was a wonderful video! It reminds me of my mother and me. As an eight and nine year old child in the later 1920’s, my mother embroidered flowers on scraps of muslin that her grandmother brought home from the cotton mill. She said her patterns came from newspapers. When I was a child, I used to admire her pieces of embroidery. When my mother was in her 70’s, I asked her what she had wanted to make with the flowers. She said she wanted to make a quilt with the blocks. I asked her how she imagined it being. She told me she wanted green fabric between the squares. The fabrics were not squares at all. They were just scraps of fabric. I asked her if I could take them with me. I lived in a different state at the time. I went into my first quilt store. The lady there told me to cut them all down to the size of the smallest piece which was about 8 or 9 inches. I had 32 flowers, I cut them all into squares. I picked out a pretty green fabric and natural color muslin. The store lady showed me how to cut the strips. Every time I got to the next step I went back to the quilt store for further instructions. After putting 30 of the squares together, I put a larger green border and an even larger muslin border. I hand quilted it by outlining around the outside of the flowers and then used plastic stencils to quilt the sashings and borders. I presented it to my mother and she had it on top of her bed for a couple of years. She then came to live with us due to Alzheimer’s, at which time my husband made a hanger for it on a large wall. It has been on our wall for close to thirty years in two different houses. At least my mother was able to enjoy it for a few years.
That’s a wonderful story!!! TFS. 🌷
What a beautiful story. Such a tribute to the day days of yesteryear and your grandmother and mother and now you!
You warmed my heart with that story. My mom was big on saving family treasures. I have instilled that into my kids and I love watching them do it to their kids. I know she will live on through us. She had Alzheimer’s too 😢. Thank you for sharing your story 💖
Can't wait to receive mine! This is WONDERFUL❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@susanmei9980 I was going to say the same thing 🥰🥰
My favorite video EVER. My mother taught me to embroider when I was five or six and of all of the things I've done, it's still my greatest love.
I just freehand wrote Scriptures all over my denim jacket and embroidered them. I wear it proudly.
I have a drawing my mom did years ago. Now I want to embroider one each for my siblings on denim and frame them.
This makes my heart happy. Thank you!
Love the freehand scripture idea! 💜
OMG Jenny and Natalie, you had my eyes leaking, this would have to be 1 of my most loved videos in your whole 15+ years, I was so touched that Natalie could even remember Ingrid. Absolutely Love how you bounce off each other and have such fond Memories of Ingrid. I don't embroider but that kit is the most Darling thing and your whole company should be so proud of themselves. This is an absolutely Heart Warming ,Walk Down Memory Lane and Salute to your Fabulous Grand Mum and Great Grand Mumma. I Love you Guys and of Course Misty too. Fabulous dedication to Ingrid, she was "JUST" Perfect. 💝💜💘🙏
I agree. I could feel the love and respect throughout the whole tutorial. Yes, i cried (still am while typing). Yes, MSQC is a company- but you truly have heart and bring that to the table.
I LOVE my kit! Beautiful. Easy to understand & use. Yes, I’ve started. One daughter & her two daughters asked, “Who’s that going to be for?” My reply, “Whoever treats me nicest!” What sweet smiles I got! I’ve been hungry for this since “Triple Play: … 3 New Fence Rail Quilts” - Natalie’s fed my soul. You ALL are so talented & diversified. I learned embroidery from Mom, grandmothers, aunts, etc. This daughter & her girls (11 & 14) can do it too! I see it as a skill we are to pass on - to connect lives & loves. I also taught it in Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, & our country. Stitching is a fabulous icebreaker with no language or age barriers! An important skill to enhance so much. And, Mo. Star Quilt Co. cerrtainly enhances my life! Thanks all!
Thank you for sharing your grandmother's story. What a beautiful memory
Ok...Well...first time a quilt demonstration made me cry. Congratulations on this new product. Beautiful!
Natalie I think you should meld your embroidery with your grandmas. What a special quilt that would be.
Yes, I thought the same thing. It’s like working on the project together. What a great thing to pass on to future generations.
Add a few of Jenny’s as well! What a family heirloom that would be! 3 generations!
Natalie, why not make an heirloom piece with Grandma’s squares, have Jenny do a couple and put with some of yours. It would be a marvelous memory.
My thoughts exactly, mixing blocks embroidered by Ingrid, Jenny, and Natalie would make such a special quilt.
Absolutely!! That’s a wonderful idea!
Jenny and Natalie, this is such a remarkable trinbute to Ingrid. I suspect that she would be pleased that so many generations value the beauty of her work and amazed that strangers also love the beauty she created. I loved the interaction between you, remembering Ingrid, and the love you share in your family. I'll be revisiting this video when the world gets ugly and I need 25 minutes of family love, honor and respect. Thank you!
Oh Jennie, you made me cry! This makes me think so warmly of my mother, grandmothers and aunts. What a wonderful idea to honor your grandmother!
Over the years that I’ve been watching the wonderful videos from the MSQC I’ve thought that the love in the Doan family is almost palpable. In this one it’s so clear to see and it truly warms my heart to see that this love stretches over the generations, all held together by colourful strands of thread. ❤
Love seeing videos of Jenny and Natalie together!!
Can’t stand how Natalie talks over Jenny. She’s good by herself
Oh me too! You can see the love they both have.. The passion they both have. Accompanied by the love of their hobby and family!
The comment above though I have to say that when my family and I get together we're all talking over each other. We get so excited hahaha!! I love it.

This is such a beautiful project. My daughter is a botanist. I think she will love this as a wall hanging. ❤
It's so evident how much you love having brought your grandmother's skill to msqc.😊
Absolutely 💯 ❤

What Beautiful memories. My mom just passed and she wasn’t a quilter but she was loving seeing the quilts I had been doing. Thank you for sharing the memories of your mother.
My condolences on the loss of your mother. ❤
So sorry for your loss.
What a lovely tribute to your foremother.
At my DIL’s baby shower we used fabric markers to draw on fabric squares. I decided to embroider the signatures to further preserve them. Turned out beautifully!
Beautiful memories! Our family has an heirloom crazy quilt ! Such a treasure ❤.

How beautiful, your grandma will be famous worldwide, you brought a tear to my eye with your love of her x
I am so awed by your Grandmother's story. What a beautiful, touching woman and heritage. 🎶💐💖

I have been doing embroidery for at least 70 years, not so much lately but I need to get back to it. Lovely quilts, ladies! ❤
Wow! My grandmother embroidered too. I had a pair of pillow cases from she did, I wish I had saved them. I love this segment so much ladies, touched my heart.
I absolutely love that you chose to share your Grandma's embroidery! I am sure you have so many great memories of her.
I love this so much ❤ I have my mother’s embroidered table cloth. I was sixteen when she died in 1963 so I’m going to make it into a quilt.
Thank you for your inspiration ❤❤❤
Jenny and Natalie, this takes me back to my childhood. My mom taught me to embroider at age 5. I embroidered napkins, table clothes, clothing. I did it all. I am not a quilter, but I do ;ove to embroider and I am looking forward to embroidering this quilt. Thank you dear ladies.
I could physically feel the love you both radiated for her ❤
How wonderful your new project is. I love it. My mother knitted, cross stitched and made tapestries. We are so lucky to have those memories.
I love her story. My family doesn’t like my quilts sadly or even visit me. I love you guys truly care for each other. You are so blessed.
I'm sorry to hear that. We go thru a lot of work on our quilts & like them to be appreciated.
@@marlahanks7278 ty my family only want comforters and burn any thing else . No matter design it is
Imperfections are Real
Natalie, I love it. Sometimes I get
So hung up on trying to be perfect. I will never forget. I have beginners kit and this is my next. I love the togetherness with the project. It can go with me anyplace. Thank you so much
I have been hand embroidering for 60 plus years. I started doing bad quilts for my girls and then the grand children. I have even got all the great grandkids a baby quilt. I am sure I’ve done over 100 baby quilts. I’m looking forward to this series. Keep the good times coming.
I love love love this video!! You can see the love you guys have for the love your grandmother shared with her embroidery. My grandmother was a quilter and cross stitcher and crotheter. My aunt done embroidery and I love having things that they took the time to make for me or for their homes that eventually fell into my home ❤️
Thank you both so much for this series!!
Beautiful! I loved when my relatives asked if I could embroidery their garments when I was growing up. It made my day.
What a wonderful story & great tribute to Grandma/Great Grandma!
Love this video. So many ways to customize this quilt. Happy sewing.
I absolutely love this embroidery kit and the quilt pattern. Your family is truly blessed to have each other, to cherish the legacy of past generations and send your beautiful memories and love out to the world.
I love that your family has these memories. Very beautiful quilt
It’s beautiful!!! I love hearing about your grandmother
I love you sharing the family love. Thank you for sharing the story of Ingrid, her heirloom. I treasure this kind of embroidery from memories.
As soon as I found out that it was a family love memory, I did not hesitate to buy this.
I cannot wait for more of your family love of Ingrid embroidery.
Thank you for touching my heart that way. We need more love in this world. ((Hugs to all of you))
I think it would be great getting all those that sew around you. Be it family and friends, each makes a block. How lovely it would look with many stories to tell.
Amazing as always, ladies . Thank you for sharing this pattern.❤
So beautiful! Thank you so much! Reminds me of my Grandma! So much talent!
This a amazing Jenny and Natalie thank you for sharing ❤ I love how Jenny zip right along on her sewing machine😂
What a special tribute to your precious grand mother. I'm sure she's looking down on you with pride. A row of these would be a darling table runner.
What a wonderful treasure you have there with your grandmother’s beautiful work. What a blessing your children got to meet her.
Thank you! This is a marvelous video showing the love of family and creativity held together with love. ❤😁🌹
How generous of you to share such a beautiful family heirlooms ❤️❤️. Natalie you are a dream& showing your love to a new generation is priceless
Yes!!!!! I love her!! Beautiful mother and daughter!
I bought the embroidery kit for my granddaughter. She will be 6 in April and absolutely LOVES crafts of any kinds! Makes this Granny proud!!
OK, before your intro even finished, as soon as I saw those two kits, I immediately ordered both. What a fabulous idea. I have done embroidery since I was in my twenties. Never thought of making a quilt. Fabulous idea. Wonderful way to remember your grandmother. Thank you for sharing it all with us. 🥰🧵🪡
You brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful way to honor a talented lady. I'm sure she would be proud not only of the kits but of her family who thought to do this for her. I'm really looking forward to Natalie's series. These days it's all about the machine and at 72 I'm not investing in an embroidery machine. I love hand stitching.
What a wonderful tribute to your grandmother, Jenny! The kits are wonderful and I absolutely love the tin. I love collecting tins and large glass jars (e.g. mixed nuts jars) and I use them in my sewing room. Hand embroidery at the end of the day sounds delightful. Thank you both for the inspiration and providing easy designs/tools to use❣️
Thank you for doing this. Reminds me of the awesome things my Mom, Grandmother and my husband's Mom and Grandmother have done. They made doilies, quilts and clothes.
This is just great!! Love it ❤🎉
I can’t wait for my fabric & embroidery kits to arrive. Looking forward to getting back into embroidery that I did as a child. Thank you for making this available for us. Your grandmother was very artistic! Thanks Ingrid. Your art will live on for a long time. ❤
I absolutely love this. I think in an earlier video Jenny showed putting together a bunch of embroidered blocks that her grandmother made and I loved that one, I was just thinking the other day that I would love to embroider something again and I guess HERE IT IS! Many thanks. You are blessed to have your grandmother’s beautiful blocks!! Well done ladies.
Natalie should get great grandma's, mom's, and her blocks in one quilt. I think that would be a great multi generation keepsake.
Last year I made my niece a quilt similar to this one. She likes denim, so I used a denim, Anita Goodesign machine embroidery floral designs, and Kaffe dots for the sashing. It is beautiful. I love the thread kit. Thanks for sharing this family history.
I ordered the embroidery kit immediately! I made a quilt out of embroidery kits I ordered from Amazon. I sold it to benefit Operation Christmas Child at my church. I miss that quilt so much. Going to to this one for myself 🥳
I love this. I love the story of your mother. This quilt and the kit is now on my bucket list of quilts I want to make. Thank you!
I am so glad you are moving into this arena. Excited to see what is coming 🎉
I love love this quilt and how wonderful to have embroidery done by your gran and great gran.
I love how you keep your family history going in what you make today. So beautiful.

Natalie…absolutely mix your embroidery with your great grandmother’s. It would be a blending of the generations and a special nod to your grandma. ❤ I had a pair of jeans as a teen that I embroidered all over them. I absolutely loved those jeans. UPDATE: Maybe initial your blocks so generations to come will know who stitched which ones. And label your quilt!
You do a wonderful job giving/showing us directions.
I LOVE embroidery and am so excited about this! As a "flower child" of the 60s, I am very happy this is coming back.
OMG, I just love this. You knocked the ball out-of-the park with these kits, what a wonderful, loving memory for you ladies to share with all of us. Thank you, keep up the great work. (edited: OMG, I just placed for my for the embroidery tin, pattern and 10" square package, thank you!)
16:33 I look forward to the Friday video! What a wonderful tribute to your Gma and GG! She obviously believed in “idle hands are the devil’s workshop!” Fabulous!!
Love it so much! Love how you honored your grandmother and great grandmother. Ive embroidered for 50 years and made quilts for 40 years so this was precious to see!!!
THANK YOU! I love embroidery and to mix it with quilting is simply amazing! What a great idea! And the tin box is fantastic with everything that’s inside! Congratulations for this project! 🌺🌸
My grandma taught me to embroider and I wore my finger out putting embroidery flowers and such on my jeans circa 1970’s
Love LOVE that you guys are doing this ❤
Love this video and the new embroidery series! I used to embroidery, cross stitch and needlepoint, but haven’t in years. You have inspired me and I’m excited to pick it up again. Love the “Ingrid” story. ❤
I'm the same way. In the last week, I have pulled out my cross stitch supplies and amping up my embroidery supplies. Makes me think of my grandma, who taught me to embroidery.
This is just so fabulous! It just thrills me to see such beautiful embroidery and the idea that you're using your grandmother/great-grandmother's designs makes it even more special. As a needleworker I waited for you to remind your viewers to press the embroidery from the reverse side on top of a padded surface to keep the stitches three-dimensional. Maybe next time?
My 80 year old momma embroiders all day, every day. I cherish her pillowcases and table scarves. She embroiders quilt blocks and I turn them into very special quilts! Last year she made over 50 sets of pillowcases. She gives them out for Christmas gifts.
I think this is the first MSQC video that has had me in tears. What a beautiful tribute!!
I grew up learning to use my hands and imagination. My grandmother loved my dresser scarves and table toppers. She loved my bright and bold colors embroidering her dresser scarves. I would sit under my mother's sewing table and she would chain piece. As the blocks came off of her tiny sewing table, I would cut them apart and reach behind me, placing them back on her table. Then, putting the front and back together...and I would tie her quilts. These quilts were made to be used. My grandmother would make our bed quilts, and she hand quilted them with her wooden quilt frame... like a giant rectangular embroidery hoop. I remember when she passed, my mother received it. We both must have quilted a hundred quilts on it. I would sew all kinds of Barbie clothes. At that time you could purchase patterns. And I made my own Barbie house with box lids my father brought home from work. They were paper boxes. He would bring home scratch paper. My best friend and I would draw and paint in her garage endlessly. I'm not that old, but we used imagination on a daily basis for play. Quilts could make forts with the swing set and clothes pins. ❤😊
Heartwarming and wonderful! Very happy you decided to do this 😊
I love, love this!!❤ Thank You for sharing beautiful thoughts and memories and especially what Natalie said about us being human and imperfections are ok!!! I can't wait to order both kits.
My grandmother,from Finland,did embroidery on everything! I need to make this quilt for my granddkids to represent their great great grandmother.
I used to embroider ALL the time! Now I make quilts and cat toys. I don't want to embroider anymore, but this kit is beautiful! Even so, I'm not tempted to buy it. BUT, if one of my nieces ever starts to embroider, I'll be sure to buy one of these kits for her. Thank you so much for sharing your Grandmother with us, and her lovely embroidery! And this quilt too.
My mom taught me embroidery. It brings back such sweet memories.
It is so great to see you honoring your grandmother and great grandmother. Great teamwork. Love your passion ❤
Спасибо за такое тёплое и душевное видео ❤❤❤❤
The first creative things l did as a child were little attempts at embroidery😊 l've always loved it and cross stitch❤ Great idea
Well, now I’m excited to try embroidery, which I haven’t done since I was a teenager. Really looking forward to your embroidery tutorials.
I am so excited to start this project. My grandmother taught me to embroider when I was in high school. My every first quilt was made with those squares. 60 years later I can hardly wait for my kit to be delivered. Thank you so very much 🥰
