I sew for our local NICU. These quilts are so cute and quick. I just love them. I will just make them smaller for my babies'. Thank you for the free patterns. I use my own money to sew for the NICU by choice.
That's wonderful!!! Remember that when you do the HST's this way they end up with the bias on the outside. This didn't cause me any issues but I have been reminded of it in several comments and feel I should say be very careful with the pressing and the handling so you don't stretch them out of square. Thank you for all you are doing for that local NICU, you are amazing!!!
I have a friend who works at Walmart and she told me about their sale. I got some great fabric for $1.00 per yard. It really helped me, as 95% of the quilts I make are for Hospice patients.
Hi Wanda, you are what I love about this quilting community, your generosity!!!! Have you tried thrift stores? I love to find xl mens shirts that are 100% cotton and cut them up to quilt with!!!! I sometimes find someones fabric stash being sold off there too. Best of luck getting some good deals and thank you for suppling quilts for Hospice!!!
Hi Blair, I can't wait to give them to them. She has already had the baby and I haven't wanted to bother them just yet. We are going to get together next week!!!
Such cute little quilts! 🥰 I had that same issue with a short ruler..so I went to Lowe’s and picked up one of their long metal rulers…I believe they’re five foot. I added some none slip dots to the back and they do exactly what I need. They’re so handy.
I have some for my drapery business that are even longer and they are 2" wide which is just the width I need for cording. I'm glad you liked the quilts!!!
I just came across your video. I really enjoyed it. I loved your patterns. Those quilts turned out beautifully. I'm sure your friend will be extremely proud of those quilts and her little girls as well.
Great idea! I am binge watching UA-cam quilting channels as I am recovering from a really bad shoulder break. Since I can't sew, I am planning all my sewing for the next 5 years! Thanks for having a great show today.
Hi Rhonda, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!!! Don't we all have at least 5 years of ideas in our heads!!! If only we had time to make them all!!! I hope you recover very quickly!!!!
I’m binge watching too after a Total Knee Replacement, feeling very sorry for myself as I am in awful pain 😩 However, your videos are giving me lots of ideas and when I can sit long enough to sew, I will be off and making more quilt tops! Thank you 😘
Ouch Daisy, take care of that knee. A friend just had that done and said it is so painful!!! I will keep both of you in mind when making the next video and hopefully there will be lots of laughs and great instructions for you all!!!
I love all three layouts. It is great to take something simple life HSTs and make something that looks more complicated than it is. They will make great baby gifts!
Beautiful quilts to be treasured and loved!! Love that Mastiff baby at the end! I have an English Mastiff as my quilting buddy, he has his own cot in the sewing room so he can be near whenever I'm creating. He's a very clingy boy!💙
I love my big babies. I have three great danes and two mastiffs and have found the mastiffs are definitely my shadows!!! Thank you for your sweet comment!!!
I just found your channel. Really enjoyed it. Your a great encouragement for those of us who love sewing. Sending a big hug from an American in Italy. 😊
Yvonne, Hug received and returned to you as well!!!! Thank you so much for such a nice comment, you really made my day!!! And to think somebody is watching this little South Carolina girl all the way in Italy!!!!
Hi Sherry, I don't remember seeing it either but I wouldn't be so bold as to say its original!! Lots of quilters before me, I'm sure someone has done it!!!
Thank you 😊 for using local businesses like the ones I use 😊 these turned out wonderful. Walmart will be getting rid of all of their bolt fabrics. I got a ton of it on sale 😊
Hi, your website had just popped up. I love your 3 quilts and your 3 quilts are beautiful! ❤❤ what a great job and i enjoyed how you made the quilt gbigger half square triangles t 21:28
That is what struck me too!!! And because of that I was able to save some of the more vibrant layer cake pieces from the baby quilt to use in an upcoming project!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting I think missing the original date ended up being a good thing then the girls could really enjoy the focus of a gift for them. Love your helpers!
I love all three quilts but the purple layout is my favorite! Great job! I sure hope our Walmart doesn’t quit selling fabric from bolts! Love your show!
The purple one is so cool and unique. It is my favorite! Not so much a fan of the pink one but I am sure the new mana's will all love their quilt! It's been awhile since I made an hst quilt. I need to play around with some new ideas that I have procrastinated on.
If you are like me you have so many ideas running around in your brain calling out pick me pick me that sometimes it's just hard to choose what to do next!!!
Sandra, I hope you are getting better every minute!!! Glad you chose to play my video during your recovery!!! I hope it made you smile!!! Thank you for the comment and get better very soon!!!
thank heavens i do not live close to your walmart. i think you showed remarkable restraint in fabric purchasing. and thank you for sharing your quilts. i'm going to make one like your aqua baby quilt--love that pattern
HST are the best, love all your designs. That purple one is really interesting, would have never thought of that, but it really works. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Thanks for showing us how you do bias binding. It's always interesting to see how others do things. I wish my cutting surface was as deep as yours; that would make things a lot easier.
I designed my workroom from a drapery workroom standpoint so its very large!!! I love my workroom, one of these days I really need to give a tour on youtube!!!
How wonderful, I love your channel and your wonderful tutorials. I haven’t made a quilt yet but love watching you and getting inspiration. Thank you for sharing your time, love and blessings x
Our Walmart now sells in one yard, two yards and three yard precuts. It also sells fat quarters. It is much better than what they used to have. I have been pretty excited about it.
You are my hero!!! Loved this video and your enthusiasm!! Also, I had a drapery/soft furnishings workroom when my children were young!! I loved my workroom. I didn’t start quilting until later in life. I love quilting now and have made draperies for my own (retirement) home, but quilting and making clothes for my self are what I love. I do love making outfits for my grands too though! I have subscribed and cannot wait for more of your videos!!! All the best and God bless. Also loved the feet under the quilts being held up - my husband’s feet are in all my photos of my quilts!!! LOL!😊
Hi Cindy, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!!! I have been doing draperies for almost 20 years and have really enjoyed the work. Getting kind of tired now and can't wait for the day when I can just quilt full time!!!!! Where are you from and when did you retire from your workroom?
Hello from Alaska, usually up here we do not get any of the sales or discounts that the Lower 48 get. I was super surprised today to find that our local WalMart had marked down some of their prints and solids. (you had to scan each one with the store app to make sure you got a clearance bolt) Not near the discounts you got but was excited to see the discounts we got. Needless to say my daughter and I managed to go to 2 different WalMart Stores and purchased a bunch of bolts of solids and prints. Thanks for the heads up. Our Stash is now overflowing
Lena, thats fantastic!!!! Have you tried thrift stores? I love to buy mens 100% cotton shirts for some fun solids, stripes and some little prints too!!! My cousin and her husband live in Alaska. She was on the show Alaska State Troopers, she was the tiny grey (prematurely grey) headed woman and her husband would fly her out to the various villages. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!
Jeanne, I was just at my walmart and they are having a total store redo. I think they are absolutely getting rid of the craft items, so sad!!!! Thank you for your comment and stay quilting!!!
I love them. Love the colors. You make me wish I had computerized quilting lol. I'm going to Walmart here see if we have a sale going on. It was great seeing your family. 😊❤

I love how you can use half square triangles to make different quilts. Thanks for the instruction!😊❤
Hi Jeanie, they are the block that keeps on giving!!!
I love your husband's response 😊
He is the best!!!!
Love these! Great job Mom!

You are amazing. Hope to be able to donate to Hospice Care places when I get a nice collection of quilts.
Wanda is the kind of person we all want to be, right Judy!!! She has inspired me to find a good charity locally or donate to Hospice too!!!!
Hi all Walmarts? In SouthernCalifonia ?
What a phenomenal hubby!🎉❤
So versatile from one block
Hi Sandra, thats how HST roll!!!!
Lovely quilts. So sweet to think of all the children. ❤
Hi Blair, I can't wait to give them to them. She has already had the baby and I haven't wanted to bother them just yet. We are going to get together next week!!!
Thank you for sharing these sweet quilts with us. I really appreciate you sharing them.
You are so welcome!!! It is my pleasure to bring these videos to all of the quilting community!!! Thank you so much for your sweet comment!!!

Love the quilts...but the dog is a show stealer. Thanks.
Most all of my videos have been stolen by the dogs at some point or other!!! I love them and really enjoy having them around me!!!
What beautiful gifts for all 3! I love the patterns you used. I love your dogs! Big dogs are my favorites!
Hi Michele, big dogs are our favorite too!!!
I just came across your video. I really enjoyed it. I loved your patterns. Those quilts turned out beautifully. I'm sure your friend will be extremely proud of those quilts and her little girls as well.

Oh my gosh your dog was also presenting the quilts? How 🥰. I love the diamond one.... But really all of them were darling quilts!❤
He was wasn't he!!! That was Ranger, he is a mastiff! Glad you enjoyed the video!!!
This was such fun! Thank you! That purple pattern is new to me! Looks original!
Hi Sherry, I don't remember seeing it either but I wouldn't be so bold as to say its original!! Lots of quilters before me, I'm sure someone has done it!!!
I love all of the examples of quilts that you were able to get with just on block
Hi Susan, Thank you so much! I love HST for just that reason!!!
The baby quilts turned out so beautiful!!
Hi Pam, thank you very much!! Have a wonderful week!!!
Thank you for the design ideas for making a quick quilt, and thank you for the tip about keeping the rotary cutter in place as you move the ruler.
You are so welcome! Glad you found the tip helpful!!!
Love the tip about using the mat to cut straight on long pieces of fabric! This will be a game changer.
Glad I put something out there that will be of help to you!!!
Those baby quilts are so cute!
Hi Kathleen, thank you so much!!! Have a great week!!!
Great demo on how to cut bias binding thankyou
Thank you!!! I make so much bias strips for my drapery workroom that I figured I would share the knowledge!!!
Beautiful colors for the baby quilt.
Hi Lucille, thank you so much! Have a great day!!

There are so creative! I love how the solid fabrics became the focus & layer cakes seem to be the background. Can’t pick a favorite!
That is what struck me too!!! And because of that I was able to save some of the more vibrant layer cake pieces from the baby quilt to use in an upcoming project!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting I think missing the original date ended up being a good thing then the girls could really enjoy the focus of a gift for them. Love your helpers!
So right, I am catching up with Jennifer and her, NOW, three girls next week!!! I can't wait to see the baby!!!

Hello from Alaska, usually up here we do not get any of the sales or discounts that the Lower 48 get. I was super surprised today to find that our local WalMart had marked down some of their prints and solids. (you had to scan each one with the store app to make sure you got a clearance bolt) Not near the discounts you got but was excited to see the discounts we got. Needless to say my daughter and I managed to go to 2 different WalMart Stores and purchased a bunch of bolts of solids and prints. Thanks for the heads up. Our Stash is now overflowing
Lena, thats fantastic!!!! Have you tried thrift stores? I love to buy mens 100% cotton shirts for some fun solids, stripes and some little prints too!!! My cousin and her husband live in Alaska. She was on the show Alaska State Troopers, she was the tiny grey (prematurely grey) headed woman and her husband would fly her out to the various villages. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!
Great quilts. Thanks for the tutorial and free pattern.
Hi Judy, you are very welcome!!
