Love, Nikki - Навчання та стиль
I forgot to add that I would absolutely love to watch you quilt this on your sewing machine.
Your quilt is perfect with its imperfections. Thank goodness we don’t have to do perfect!!!!!! Love it. Thanks for sharing.
How clever to take something you've started but ran out of steam on and decide to interpose it into an altogether different interpretation of your inspiration--I like how you think! Very creative, very improv and smart (those English flowers could have lived in a bag for a decade or two).
Thinking "Outside the box" is a great concept to pass on to others: you inspired me! Thank you!
We all need to learn how to quilt our quilts with our domestic machine! Please do a video to teach us!
Your daughter’s quilt is a masterpiece! You are very talented!
I love the quilt. But GIRL… the path with the tree and the ivy is GORGEOUS TOO
Haha thank you, that ivy has gotten the best of us 😅.
'Stray from the pattern' yes! I do that all the time because I get bored with too much repetition.
Your quilt is a beauty, great design. Thanks for sharing Nikki.
This is amazing. What a memory you have made with your daughter. Priceless ❤
I love that you quilt like I do...figuring out a creative plan as you go. I'm a self-taught quilter. I've never used patterns. I see something and then love the creative process of figuring out how I would make it. Thank you for sharing!! You encourage me to keep being creative!
🎉❤somewhere someone is going to publish a book like you found in the resale shop and you will be in it ❤🎉with all your wonderful creativity. I love your style and it reminds me
Not to get stuck on the nitty gritty details that keep me in ufo land🤣
I love the way you think. I wish I had that talent. The book is a treasure.
Absolutely gorgeous quilt.
You’re very inspiring. I love watching you work through your process. Your excitement is contagious. Love your style. I’m not much of a pattern person either. Can’t wait to see your machine quilting video finishing it off.
This quilt is beautiful! You are very creative! Yes, I would like to see you quilt this masterpiece! I know it can be done and lots of people do it, but I would like to see your version!
That quilt is gorgeous! You should enter it in the fair! It would be so cool to see it in person, even if it’s not a technical pattern quilt. Especially for that reason!
Thank you! I am considering it 😊
Your quilts belong in that book! Absolutely beautiful! ❤❤❤
That quilt is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope your daughter LOVES it! Such an inspiration watching you and your joy!
Welcome to the free spirit club. Your work reflects the love in your great heart. I have followed only 1 pattern and learned I prefer my own ideas. Keep doing your way. Beautiful.
What a great quilt! These are the kinds of quilts I love. The two quilts I have that my Great Grandma made are scrappy. They used whatever they had to make quilts. They were strictly made for use at that time.
I would love to see how you machine quilt your beautiful quilt on a regular sewing machine! Thanks for sharing, Nikki. Love your channel!❤
Oh my, it is gorgeous! What a labor of love! I’m sure Layla will cherish it!🥰👏🏻
I love, love, LOVE this quilt!! 🩷🌼🌸🌺🩷
You are such an amazing quilter and sewist. Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
When you said “1”, I nearly spit out my coffee! I know that feeling! You’re right tho, “it’s fine, it’s worth it” especially when making for your daughter.
Nikki, You are amazing!!! Beautiful job
Feels like such a happy quilt ... one of the best things I've seen this year, well done !!
Beautiful! Yes please do a video on quilting with your home machine. Thank you!
When I need a simple appliqué (leaf, etc.) I cut out 2 layers, sew all around, right sides together, slash the middle of the back, turn and press.
I love your approach to quilting.
I LOVE how this quilt turned out and I’d love to see you quilt it!!!
I’m a structured quilter who needs a pattern to follow and coordinating precuts. The thought of improve quilting was not something I would ever have thought about before finding your channel.
You make it look so easy….you’ve inspired me to move out of my comfort zone and try the scrappy improve houses.
You are so talented, I look forward to seeing your next idea!
The quilt is delightful! So lovely! 🥰 I am sure she will adore it. I would be very interested in watching you machine quilt this adorable quilt
What a beautiful process! I would love to see you quilt it on your regular sewing machine! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Your quilt is beautiful! Great job and quite an inspiration. Keep up the good work. PS - I have that book, too. Picked up at Goodwill for a couple of dollars, and inscribed in 1989 by the original purchaser named Kathy for her “dearest Grandma” with a lovely touching sentiment. I love the inscription almost as much as the book. It is a treasure. As are you.
My great aunt used to say 'every fault is a fashion' meaning that if you make a mistake, you go with it and style it out! She was a very stylish and elegant lady.
Love it 🙌🏻
I’ve been hoping to start learning to quilt, but I have 0 knowledge about sewing anything, I don’t even have a machine. Your videos have been so helpful. I can’t believe I stumbled on a quilter in my own city!! Thanks for the knowledge, neighbor 💖
Aw, Hi! 😄
I love your creativity and optimism
Love your videos . This quilt is so cute and so colorful and awesome .I have been learning new blocks and trying to put them all together in a sample quilt .I had decided to just go for it after seeing you work on your wonky house quilt ❤ love it . Thank you for doing what you do ! Fun to watch fun to learn .PS ...yes please any tips on finishing on a traditional plain old sewing machine would be SO SO SO helpful and appreciated. Thanks again
I appreciate this so much! Because many of us were taught "the way to make a quilt" and no alternatives mentioned. Let your mind and your ideas become " the way to make a quilt". By the way I am not trashing what anyone else does but trashind the mindset that things can only be done "the right way" which basically translates "my way".
BEAUTIFUL! ❤
It was very interesting and informative to watch you work on it. And I really hope you will show us how to quilt a large quilt on a domestic sewing machine, because I have quite the struggle just quilting a small one on my machine. I'm curious to see how it's done. Thanks again for sharing! 😊
Your quilt is stunning!!! I really like it!!! Yes, please show us how you can quilt that on your machine! I’m in Kentucky also..I’m in Monticelllo! I will be here 5 years the end of June~!
Oh hi! We’ve only lived here for less than two years, but we really love it.
I love your process. I like to flow with my quilts. Following a pattern, for me, changes the flow. Thank you for the encouragement to do my own thang
I love designing as I go too! Not a fan of following other people’s patterns, I’d rather improv quilt and let the quilt lead the way 😉. That’s where I find my creative joy, when quilting. I really enjoy your videos 😉💕🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is great inspiration! Would love to see how you keep your quilt sandwich flat while machine quilting.
Love your daughters quilt. Improv is fantastic. No rules! Girl Guides of Canada sell cookies just like Girl Scouts of America do. We don’t have as many flavours tho. In the fall we sell chocolate wafers of mint chocolate dipped in chocolate. In spring we sell boxes with chocolate and vanilla filled Oreo type cookies. One side of the box has chocolate and the other, the vanilla.
Thank you so much for sharing that book! It makes me think of the generations of mothers and grandmothers who made quilts over the years, decades, and even centuries. Wonderful image.
Such a great way to make a quilt. My brain doesn’t work that way but I am finding small ways to incorporate improvisations. ❤ Def wanna see you machine quilt it!
This quilt is gorgeous.. I love the background base fabric color.. not afraid to shy away from the granny EPP flowers. Love a tutorial in machine quilting
Love your videos! You are so inspiring! This quilt is gorgeous, I love the background color. I agree with you white would not have made it pop like the flesh color does. 😊 Happy sewing!
I absolutely love your improv style! Yes, please video the quilting process of this quilt.
Yes! Please record you quilting on your domestic machine! Especially how to manage the quilt bulk during the process. I love your quilt and showing us your thinking. I think the leaves "make" the quilt.
Love the quilt! Yes please, would love to see how you quilt on your domestic machine!
I have that quilt book! Many years ago, my husband gifted it to his grandmother, and later she gave it to me. Layla's quilt is so pretty! I haven't ventured into free-motion quilting yet so would love to learn more about that.
I just found your page about a month ago just scrolling through Sewing videos, I love your technique and your style. It’s much like what I’ve been trying to do, random Sewing improv style is so much fun, but working a full-time job gets in my way. Lol I have several completed quilt taps that I want to do on my domestic sewing machine also please make a video. I’d love to watch you do your quilt.❤️ thank you for all of your inspiration. 😊
Beautiful quilt! I would love to see a video of you quilting this on your home machine.
Yes please show how you quilt on your machine your daughter is going to love this quilt forever
I absolutely love watching your content… it really inspires me. I haven’t made many quilts but each one has definitely been a Labour of love. The first was for my nephews cradle , the second started out many years later as a little ‘something to pass the time’ on my lengthy commute to work - ended up as a double bed cover for my daughter 😂 T he third was a knee quilt for my sister-in-law who, by then needed a wheelchair to travel to and from the hospital for her cancer treatment. Then followed 2 cot quilts - which frankly I don’t think were appreciated at all 🙁 but the last one was definitely the most challenging. It was a memory quilt for my sister-in-law , who sadly has dementia, so I incorporated lots of transfers of photos from when she was young. The next one? That’ll be for me! Keep up the good work! Loving it. By the way, can you remind me of the name of that book - looks amazing - wonder if I can get in the UK?
It’s called America’s Glorious Quilts!
Hello i just came across your site. And i love the way you quilt. Choosing quilt squares or pieces of a quilt design. And then incorporateing them into your quilt top. This quilt came out so beautiful. your daughter is going to just love it. Not only because her mother made it for her, but because the colors and design choices are beautiful. I wish I would have had quilting experience when both of my kids were little. They are grown with children of their own. It's okay I haven't been quilting for very long. But I do enjoy what I have learned so far. And more importantly I have grandbabies now six of them that I can make quilts for. I'm hoping by watching your channel, that I can pick up and learn a few pointers from you to improve my quilting techniques ? Thanks for sharing this video, I look forward to seeing more of them.
what a beautiful quilt! I've always loved quilts but find them so daunting trying to follow the pattern. I think your idea is just what I needed to do my own Thang! Thank you for the inspiration! Yes please a hand quilt tutorial and quilting on a home machine would be great! I have a couple of quilt tops (not perfect at all!) that I'd like to finish! You've inspired me to finish my UFOs!
Definitely interest in how to machine quilt on my domestic machine. And, yes, we have Girl Guides in Canada, but I think they've changed the name now. They also sell cookies, or they in the past. Thanks for the inspiration.
Yes please do show the quilting on your regular sewing machine!! I love the quilt you made!
Dying to see you quilt something with your machine. I'm about to do my first one!
This beautiful quilt screams love to me! I would love to see you quilt it....
🌷🌼🌷
This is a beautiful labor of love. I'm am sure your daughter will absolutely love it. Don't think I would have chosen that background either, but it is perfect for your design.
Love the quilt, I have the same tube turner thing also 20 years old. I would like to see how you do the sewing machine quilting, I can always get more ideas for my sewing machine quilting.
Love your quilt and I'm definitely interested in seeing how you quilt it on your sewing machine.
What a fabulous quilt! You are so creative! Thanks for this video! I quilt all my quilts on my Janome. I would like to see your quilting video.
Wow - this is beautiful! So inspiring that you didn't follow a pattern - makes it so unique and precious. I learned SO much just in this video - love how you made the leaves!
What a beauty! Love your creativity and willingness to just go for it. The perfections in me hold me back.
I'm definitely interested in a video about sewing machine quilting. I think your quilt is beautiful!! Layla will love it!
So pretty! What a labor of love and such great inspiration for improv quilting ❤ Bravo, Nikki!!! And yes to seeing it quilted on your machine, please 😂
Love this quilt for Layla and your process!! So inspiring! Thank you!!
I think I NEED that book! Your quilt is lovely and you have inspired me to use the 19 Grandmother’s Flower Garden blocks that I have made (using Liberty Tana Lawn fabric). A medallion center (maybe a flower shop) with borders. My G-ma flowers are 6.5 inches, so my quilt will be much smaller than your quilt. BTW - I love your channel, I just recently found it. Thanks for sharing and I also love your house quilt. Refreshing is a word that I associate with your quilts & this channel.
I love this quilt! You’ve inspired me to throw off the pattern shackles and give my own imagination a try. Love the giant quilt book too. Thank you for sharing. 😊
The tube turner looks amazing! I adore the quilt. You’re so right about the background color.
Your quilt is AMAZING! Such a beautiful design! I really enjoyed watching this video.💕
I love the quilt, you can make beautiful quilts. I wish I had the courage to think out of the box like you.
Hi Nikki, this is absolutely beautiful, I love watching you work and listening to your chat. I too like to work without a pattern but I’m not so good at improvisation, I still tend to make blocks.
Yes please make a video about quilting on a domestic machine - any tips you have will be very helpful.
Thank you so much, Vonney, England
Do the leaves with fusible web! Instead of background fabric. And you can iron it on, then sew it down. Much easier 😉. I love it with the leaves! Great job! Great quilt!
Wow, wow, wow. Your perseverance is always the most inspirational part. I like at the end how you grind it out. So real. It feels like how I feel at the end and it does not mean that I don't love it. I'm just done with it, yet I must fully execute it or I'll be so disappointed. Why I tend to be monogamous on projects. I quilt all my quilts on my domestic. No long arm budget. I have a right broken arm that never healed straight, so fmq is painful after about an hour. So it takes me about 2 weeks to quilt a quilt. So when I finish a top, I cut the next one, because, this hurts as well.. But it feels rewarding to be moving on. Then I baste the previous quilt and begin quilting. After an hour I take a break, then I start sewing together the next top. Sometimes I have finished the top before I finish quilting the previous quilt so there is a bit of a backup. And sometimes I mix machine quilting with hand quilting. So I'll just stitch in the ditch to make sure it holds together and then hand embellish. In short, it is rare when I am not quilting an hour a day, unless it is a super busy work week.
I love this quilt you are creating! The hardest part for me when I make 100's of HSTs is all the electricity I'm using to press them!!!
Wow - your quilt is beautiful!! ❤ I would love to see how you quilt it.
I just love watching the way you quilt .... My math stinks and that's why I design as I go like you and just say...like the great words of Pee Wee Herman...."I meant to do that!"
FYI ...You can use the leaf method you are doing by using used dryer sheets ...(if you use them) or a super light weight interfacing to do your leaves. That way you don't add bulk and waste fabric you can use for other things.
Yes it will be perfect to see you quilted in your sewing machine 🎉
That’s a gorgeous quilt! You are so creative! Don’t forget to put a label on it!!
Very interested in machine quilting with my sewing machine. Your quilts are so inspiring. You are a wonderful designer. I so want to step out of patern performance. It is a confidence thing I think. Anyway, thank you for your inspirations.
I love to watch your thought processes! My type of sewing too! The leaves turned out perfectly. For leaves and circles you can also cover in aluminium foil and press. Keeps the turn line! Looking forward to your next project (Blue Mountains NSW Australia)
Your quilt is beautiful! Love the colors you used and I’m definitely impressed with all the small pieces that make up this quilt. I’m new to quilting and love your tutorials. ❤
It’s beautiful! Love your method to do your own thing and step out of the box!
Your daughter will love it💕
For sure I’d love to see you quilt it on your domestic!
I love your tutorials! Thanks for the time and effort! This quilt is so beautiful! I too love to design my own quilts…I actually design and follow a pattern if I LOVE the way it looks. But it is a great feeling when one of my own designs work out! Can’t wait to see this quilt finished! Thanks again!
Yes, please video how you quilt a large quilt on a regular machine! I thought only quilt as you go could be done.
Will do!
🎉watched you yesterday then got your email today. You're one of my favorite people quilters on utube! You're talented, a great teacher, encouraging me to try new thing and pretty to boot. Thanks for all the helpful info.
Thank you so much! 😊
I really like this quilt! I have a few dozen jelly jar hexi flowers accumulating. I'm a bit burnt out on them, and might never make enough for a full flower garden quilt. Your idea here is do able for me. Thank you for sharing your process. I too would be interested in seeing you quilt on your domestic machine.
Yes to a video to quilting on your domestic machine.
Love the quilt…looks great. 😊
That quilt is so wonderful! Would love to see how you quilt a large quilt on a domestic sewing machine. That would be awesome. 😊
Your quilt is gorgeous, great job.
Yes, please show us how you quilt on your machine! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I just love this quilt! I loveQuilts using all different fabrics.
Oh the technique you used on the leaves is what Lori Holt uses on all her applique! I love using it. Great choice. Loving your quilt. You are so creative.
Girl Scout cookies have become so expensive, I buy the copy cat at WalMart, taste just the same for $2 a box Fudge Mint
Yes we sometimes get the copycat cookies at Aldi 😅
OMG...I have machine quilted ALL my quilts in the last 25 years!!! Even a King size quilt. You go girl!
I started using Gutermann thread years ago because a quilt my husband's grandmother had made started coming apart because the thread was rotting. I soon gave up mending it! Gutermann thread has way less fuzz than any other thread I have tried. I am always starting out with a pattern and then changing the plan when I make quilts:)
Wow that graveyard quilt is brilliant, sad, horrible, and so awesome all at the same time 😢😮😂❤😊
Haha 😂
Wow!!!💞💞💞 Love the quilt!! It is AMAZING! You are a wonderful mom🥰💐. The video is great and definitely an inspiration. And I would love to see a video of quilting on a domestic sewing machine. Thank you!
Yes. Please show us quilting on a regular machine.
Yes please show us a video of quilting a quilt using a domestic (regular) sewing machine. 😊 I love your videos and ideas!
I love this quilt! I think this is my most favorite quilt that you've made so far! Well done!! 👏👏👏☺
Thank you!
