Sometimes I will rub my needle on my skull/ hair roots to give it a bit of oil which helps it glide better. When our daughter was allergic to disposable diapers, this helped with her diaper pins. I love to hand sew!❤
I love William Morris designs. The strawberry thief is my favourite. The first quilt i made was all done by hand, i was scared of doing it on the machine. It was a lovely windmill design made entirely from jumble sale fabric. Ive made many since then, on the machine so its worth having a go.
Thank you. Your comment means so much to me. I get a lot of grief for hand sewing, but I know I am not alone. There something beautiful in the slowness. Machine quilting is great - I've done a fair amount of machine quilting, but not everything has to be fast. I spend a lot of time in a hurry - it's nice to slow right down sometimes.
I am new to this channel. I am looking for hand sewing projects since I dont trust myself with a machine AND I couldn't remember how to even thread the machine even if I tried. I have have multiple strokes and can function if I have a project that I can do from the bed. Sometimes I can't remember what I did 5 minutes ago so don't feel bad about the remembering part. I just tell people that I have had a stroke and use that as my excuse for not remembering. (It might be that the age thing is coming into play, Im 63) I really enjoyed your video. You are a good teacher. ✌🏻♥️
@diannenaworensky6698 thank you for sharing your story. I'm so glad you found my channel. Living with health issues is very difficult, I am inspired by your perseverance. I'm so glad that you found the video helpful. I much prefer hand sewing, so you should find plenty here to give you ideas. Thank you for watching and for saying hello . 👋 😊
I had in my mind a desire to delve into a log cabin design. You have propelled me into it! Thank you once again for such a straightforward instruction.
Beautiful, clear instructions, thank you. I think I prefer the multi coloured block that shades as the strips spread towards the edge. Either way, your block will make a lovely quilt, cushion, table runner etc. ❤👍from Somerset
You can clean sewing needles and pins by running them through fine emery/sand paper. A pincushion stuffed with crushed walnuts shells is the traditional way of keeping pins d needles clean and sharp.
I have a walnut shell pincushion o my desk - it's magic. They really work. I am about to release a kit to make one that you can wear on your wrist. More details soon. 🤗

I would never have thought of that! I used cloth nappies for my 2 also. Everyone thought I was insane at the time. Mine had velcro though.

Absolutely. I really enjoy English paper piecing and embroidery. Do what you love. x

Always loved the log cabin, but don’t usually do hand stitching when I do more than one or so.❤
I agree - if I were making a whole quilt like this, I'd definitely get my machine going, but I do love hand piecing - I can't resist sometimes.
This turned out great!
Thanks so much. It was loads of fun. 😊
Brill tutorial, I've never tried log cabin blocks b4. I feel i could have a go at some future point. It looks easy when tou know how.
@@sandrahickey3593 thank you. It was SO easy! I hope you do have a go. It was utterly satisfying. 😊
I never thought log cabin quilting could be 'hand' stitched ! 🪡😄Thanks for the clear explanations . Cheers from France 🇫🇷
I think everything can be hand stitched! I think I will make it my mission to try. 😂 Thanks so much for watching. X

Thanks so much. I quite like the random approach too - I thought I should start with the most traditional version. I may well play next time.
Thank you, have heaps of scraps will give it a go
My pleasure. Have fun with those scraps! 🤗

I read that you can sharpen duller needles with an emory board. Just rub the board on each side of the needle.
Great tip. Thank you. 😊
Sweat and skin oil makes needles sticky. You can clean them by running them through baby powder, but just use a new one.
@dingtonia yummy! I'm sorry I asked now. Love the baby powder tip though. 😂
👍🧡💐
I'd wanted to have a go at a log cabin block but was somewhat intimidated, but with your clear tutorial I reckon I can give it a go! Many thanks!🧵
@sarahbillington2368 that's so lovely to hear. It really was easy - straight lines, minimal cutting - a great place to start. X
