Pat, I keep th x-stitch threads threadedand run it behind the newer colors if needed on that House. You might have a lot of threaded needles but you just run the thread under. Just a thought for you.
I love that you are so "real" and share with us when sometimes things just get away from us.
I gave myself permission to do all my binding on the machine and what a freeing feeling🎉
I had to make decisions on my cross stitch too. I have no wall space in my home so I eliminated large projects and am focusing on ornaments or small pillows for my tier tray. I am so much happier not having all these large projects that I wouldn't have finished. Your sit down chats have helped me make positive decisions. Thank you.
I love your musings! Also, you no longer need the bandaid! I know from my husband’s skin cancer experiences that “no more bandaid” is a huge step towards full recovery. Congratulations! ❤️
If you can get the darker--black fabric for your Eclipse quilt it would work so much better than that gray you auditioned. As you would say, No likey! :O
I work better when my projects are scheduled! Working on multiple projects makes me happy bc each one poses different plans, challenges and looks. Scheduling is a must! ❤
One of my favorite shows today-just listening to you talk about normal things we think about in our sewing rooms!
Your bandaid is gone! Congratulations
I also cross stitch and do most of my stitching in the evening while my husband and I watch TV. Sometimes I do get some time during the day to stitch. I enjoy fixing a cup of hot tea, putting on some relaxing, soft music and stitching for a while. I do find it relaxing and therapeutic. I have heard that some people schedule some time and put in at least a floss length in a project every morning, not a lot but it is making some progress on their projects. Hope you can schedule in some stitching time that is enjoyable for you.
I am watching from the sidelines on What’s In Your Closest right now, and I love seeing the different fabrics and perspectives on these blocks.
AND, your Spools quilt is perfect hung in your sewing studio. Have a good day and Happy Stitching.
I am the youngest of three sisters. Yes! Lots of hand-me-downs. Once my Grandma made us matching dresses. I ended up wearing all 3 eventually. 😊 Then I inherited my MIL's clothes. Ha ha!
Pat, I love how your brain works!!! I wish mine worked more like your! Thanks for all the work you do! It’s encouraging to the rest of us!
My brain always wants to process and plan projects when I'm trying to fall asleep. I love to cut out a new quilt & then I have to pick a UFO or a quilt that needs quilted and bound. I have to finish one of those before I start the new project. That really motivates me to work on old and new at the same time.
Hi Pat! Your solar material! I am not loving the stripped gray material in the group. I felt the color was too close to the lightest gray on the other material. Love your you tube shows and your little giggle. Thanks for the inspiration!
Since I started watching you, I noticed lately that I pay more attention to how and where I cut directional, stripe, and gingham fabric. I think that makes a big difference that I hadn’t thought about. Thank you for sharing that enough till I started to emulate what you taught.
Your explanations make me feel normal 😂 you could be a life coach!🙏
I appreciate that!
I'm a fan of your block Wednesday and feel you have the best quilt patterns I have found. Loving once again my quilt I'm making with your patterns...Love you back and thx's for all you do for us...Best Wishes for a great day!
I think I am I overwhelmed by all the things I want to do. And then I say no more-just do what you already have-and I buy another!!
Hi Pat, as long as you are happy with the way you think about things, thats all that matters. I really like your block today. Oh wow that's awesome you got your pens on sale, those pens are my favorite. Thanks for sharing
My husband and I cross stitch in the evenings while watching tv. I alternate between my three current projects, according to my mood.
How cool😅
I make my hubs get up and come see and discuss my plans and colors. He enjoys it and often sends me a different design direction. He’s so encouraging and tells me how pretty my makes are. I’m so lucky. I told him that not all husbands are so encouraging and was sorta sad.
He's a keeper!
I think in time and linear progress. I often have several projects going at once but I plan them in stages. So one project is in the design and plan stage, one in cutting and piecing another is batting and quilting and finally batting and finishing. So my thought process is usually having one in each stage and how/when to move each of them forward. It works well for me because I like some stages better than others or some projects better than others. This way nothing gets stalled and if I get tired of a project, I only need to finish one stage before I can move onto another one! I was an event planner….large scale events…in my corporate life!!!
I am exactly like you. I love having different projects in different stages. I decide what I feel like doing when I walk in the craft room. If I don’t feel like doing something I’ll straight up my craft room and then just cut scraps to sort in my bins (2.5, 3, 5, 7, 10) and then I’m ready to sew, piece, sandwich or quilt. I love all stages of quilting 😊
Love the idea of 7 projects. I also cross stitch and have 3 projects going right now.
Since you asked.. in my opinion, on camera, the third fabric looks a little green instead of grey. Love the ombré.
I just love the thread quilt that’s just to cute. Everything you make is wonderful. You are blessed with color placement you and Robin Pickens I think put the prettiest colors together. I would love to have that ability.
I love the Solar Eclipse pattern & the fabrics you have chosen, I went & looked at getting the pattern & fabrics when the rest of your words today sank in. I have to temper what I would love to make against what I can manage in reality. I am several quilt alongs behind as it is. I already have another 4 or 5 lined up in project bags as well.
Love the ombre fabric, not sure about the stripe with it. It reads more yellow on my screen. It would make a great binding. I usually have an applique project or a crazy patch project for my hand work. I feel lost if I don't have one going. My 'scheduled' sewing is usually for the sewing machine. I prep, prep and prep then spend a day sewing up a storm. Great block parade!
Whatever you are working on I will sit and watch it all 🥰
You're the best! thank you!
I was a first child out of 8 kids. and just 4 brothers until I was 5.no hand me downs for me. I learned to sew as a teenager and made my own clothes. and even sewed for my younger sister.
I totally think about projects like you do! I time myself in everything I do. When I clean the bathroom or mop the floor. Then the next week I try and beat that time. Always looking to improve myself! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
In my part of Wisconsin today we’re under a winter storm warning. Blowing snow and very slippery roads. Have to shovel before I can doing any sewing today. ☹️🥶
So funny Pat. I always say I have fabric to last until I'm 149!
I’m thinking that I have enough projects planned until I’m 150!! Love it!
exactly!
❤your work. I am in the middle of a move so I am currently crocheting. Be Well
Love the idea of 7 projects! The good lord knows I have enough to choose from. I like to think of my cross-stitching as something i 'get' to do, rather than something I have to try & find the time to fit in. All in the mindset! Healing up nicely, off to work :)
Your video makes my day. So down to earth. Glad you managed to get the putty fabric. Didn’t like the stripe.
Good to see someone else thinks in time. I have had so much to do between my business and our ranch that I have had to do that forever also. It's not a bad thing for me. It keeps me on track.😊
The spool quilt looks good hanging on the wall. The fruitcake quilt was nice, but this one is bright and cheery.
I love the idea of having different hand projects going on at the same time for when slow time hits. Will definitely try that. Thank you!
I really like doing hand work at night "watching" tv. Decided to hand applique my Grandmas Garden blocks onto 5" squares instead of sewing them all together. It's going really fast and I can do 10 in a night.
I’d get the black black or a white to gray. I’d don’t like that other gray.
God morning from Surprise, Arizona😊 so many beautiful quilts in progress. Didn't do What's in Your Closet. Still working on Autumn Wonders...lol!. Few other projects in between.
Hi I’m in St. Maarten but wouldn’t miss your show . Hope your doing good🇨🇦🍷
thank you!!
You should get the black black. I love how mine turned out and thank you so much for sharing with us.
Im loving the arifil thread quilt in the background. Beautiful!
I'm a thrifter! I love finding a good deal at a garage sale!
To me it looks more green than grey. will depend on the block you preview. Jane
You are so much more organized than I am. Makes me a little jealous! Whats in your closet block looks great. Hope your day is all you want it to be. 😊
If you find ypurself behind on the temperature project again, preload your needles with the various thread colors. This is a method some hand quilters use. We preload our thread and it works really good.
some colors are so close i think i would get confused. That is why i don't do it
I would go with black, black. On camera it reads green, but could be very different in person
I would find a light grey that matches. That one doesn’t. Love the ombrés
I love a good deal. And I love any color of fabric is delightful.
I totally agree with what you said about time management….there are so many things that I would love to do but have had to pair down and not do things that don’t bring me joy or just take too long
I love hand sewing I hand sew everyday pretty much. I am going to try to do a lot more machine sewing also. It requires me to go into the basement to my sewing room. I think I will get far more done. I would probably look for a very light grey. That would be my thought
Move your sewing machine to a place you like to be.
Have you looked at the Jennifer Sampou ombres? So very fabulous. A different look from the Vanessa ombres though I think they would blen. I think they are Robert Kaufman.
Thanks for sharing dont be so hard on your self you do just great 😊
😊 thank you
Love love love all the things you do with us and for us , Pat! ❤ Glad about the final report of clear margins. I have a question: I have searched and poked around and can't find the answer- which big cutting mat do you have? I'm on the hunt for a new one. Cheers!
I'm like you, Pat, no hand-me-downs. I'm the oldest child and oldest granddaughter. I have one brother so my old clothes went to my cousins.
Love those Sharpie gel pens! I got a pack of red, blue, green, purple to write notes on your monthly calendar about my projects. Helps keep me organized (somewhat lol).
Fun video! I love your giggle!
Hats off to you Pat with your cross stitching project. For myself changing thread colours with the temperature change would be brain numbing, so I admire your determination & focus. Love your two selected fabrics for the eclipse, the more solid gray would be great for the backing, of coarse just my opinion. Thanks Pat for sharing, you’re very inspiring for us. 👍❤️🙂
I like the colors you have
Thanks for inspiring me to start cross stitching again, I have so many projects started and not finished plus all the books and ideas I thought I was going to do. I also enjoy sitting and doing hand work
I think I would try to find the darker black
Regarding your cross-stitch, have you tried prethreading your needles with the most frequently used threads for the month. This may make color changing easier.
To me that is more work as i now would have to track which color is on each needle. Some colors are very very similar.
Evening from Australia 😊
I love fussy cutting! Yours is so pretty!
Hi Pat! When I did my Temperature quilt last year, I used 10 degree increments instead of 5 degrees so I wouldn't have to buy as many fabrics. I love how your little houses are coming out & I love you decided to order the Putty-I think it will work out great!
Good morning from Colorado Springs!
Good morning to you from Littleton Colorado
12 miles south west of Denver
I so loved your chat today! I need to set aside a day to work on my projects!
I love Tula’s Critters!
Good morning waiting for snow in NewYork
The spools are up in the background. Lovely ❤
you think exactly like me , I'm all over the place❤
I would look for a darker rather than using the stripe.
Pat I would get a black for the center and use the lightest gray for the the borders! The ombré is beautiful but be careful when cutting using the darker coloring at the bottom of each panel. Have fun! Working on may version now!
Go with the black black ombré
I think too much but for all the wrong reasons....worried what other people will think. I love ombre fabric. I think it gives life to areas that normally might be flat. I use it in a lot of different quilts - Have fun with your cross stitch if that is what makes you happy.
I have the Lori Holt calendar pages and write down my sewing room activity daily
My granddaughter is in the same situation, first girl and first granddaughter. I had boys so this is a thrill for me to buy little girls clothes and toys. Love this block of yhe month series. Thanks for all you do. I dint really like the gray stripped fabric for the solar eclipse quilt. Maybe find a very pale blue ombre?
You are bandaid free! YAY!
❤funny how time flies on some projects 🇨🇦
It would help if you thread up all the colors you are using for your temperature houses so they are ready to go. Then use the "parking" method on the top of your work. Since you're stitching on AIDA, carrying threads on the back won't show through on the front. However, I would break threads when moving to the next house. Thread up as many colors you are using (on different needles obviously). Stitch a color and bring the needle up to the top of your work and park it out of your way so you can continue doing the same with each thread color. If you're familiar with the term "confetti stitching" it's the only way to go in my opinion (without going bonkers). What you're doing sounds very similar to confetti stitching. What would be cool is stitching the color chart at the bottom of your work. That way it would actually remind you of the temperatures that occurred each day. Not sure how one would incorporate that but it seems like a fun idea. To stitch the degrees, you use one strand of floss and backstitch the numbers. It would be a lot of extra work but when someone in the future has your cross stitch they would understand what you were doing. Something easier would be to type up the chart and attach it to the back of the work. Lori Holt's library card idea would be a really neat way add the information. Good luck with it. I'm sure it will be really pretty when it's completed.
I, too, had no hand-me-downs. I was the only girl of 5 kids. Lucky me! 😅
I think you should find a different light grey fabric 😊
like the two sparkle fabrics but not the lightest
I think the gray with the strips I would use for the middle row, lay it out on the wall. I think that would work with the other two mores on each side
Concerning the cross stitch thread color changes; would you consider threading a few needles in the range you see for that week or month? Leave them threaded (and label them!) and just use the ones you need that day or week. I would also have an issue bouncing from one row to another just to not have to change the thread as often. Love your videos! I am not able to join them live, but I rarely miss an episode that evening. ❤
The label is a bit of a pain to me. Some colors are much too close and it seems like even more work to do that than just do the one thread each week and be done
On your rods stitch, I leave my colors of thread, threaded on several needles.
Cross stitch
I would say look for the lighter ombré but go black if you can’t find anything.
You crack me up - I keep a kan ban board to track project throughput so I totally get you! I think that’s what drew me to you in the first place - just keep going! I also feel the need for a sitting quietly project - so I’ve added quilling and knitting
What is a kan ban board? I enjoy knitting and puzzles when not quilting.
@@kathygospodarek8541 it is a project organization method - I used it for work to manage many differing projects, now use it for quilting!
I am also struggling with my temperature cross stitch. I decided to do the high and low like you and after January completely regretted it. I haven't touched mine since February, so you are doing great compared to me. 😅
if i were you, i'd start with April. Then go forward. At some point do a day or 2 on each of the missed months. I did finish mine so now i can go back to once a week
Pat, perhaps yellow (for the sun) and then gray as moon is starting to cover it and then black when the moon has obscured the sun for Earth......
Waiting for a snowstorm here in VT ❄️😀
I’m also doing the temperature x-stitch but I only use the midday temperature,so one color per day
i am only doing it so i can see the high and low, more work for me
I would go black black
That was a GD on the pens.
Maybe a gray grunge?
On the eclipse, the stripe color seems off. What about a bluish gray, light
I would try to find a darker black ombré rather than using the stripe
Not liking that grey with the ombres. I think a black would look better or a different grey??? Loving what's in your closet. ❤
Sorry, I meant solar eclipse not solstice pattern
