I am a new quilter, and my grandma has been teaching me but she lives far away so I only get to be in the same room with her maybe twice a year. I love gnomes and went ahead and joined this club and was so excited to learn as I went. When I told my grandma, she said that this would probably take me more than a month per wall hanging and that really discouraged me, so I appreciate this video and sharing "intuitive" things to make this accessible to beginners like me. Thanks!!!
You're very lucky. I bought their Valentine club and it came with fabric and no instructions. I'm 75 and I'll probably leave these to my daughter who doesn't sew at all. She'll sell them or throw them way. I would have never spent soooo much money without the video to show me how. Never again!
@suem5213 so sorry that happened to you, did you try reaching out to them? It definitely should have instructions, I would have been so upset and demanded my money back.
@@haylaebayyes, I did reach out and was told they couldn't do instructions on each quilt that goes out. I just needed to look at their tutorials on how to do appliqués. I've received all but two now and have put them in a box in my sewing room. I'm not angry about it, just disappointed I wasn't given this information before I bought it. I even bought their light box which was not cheap but knew they showed it in some of their videos. First time shame on me, second time it won't happen. Best wishes!
@@suem5213that surprises me because I’ve done several of their series and everything has come with cutting guides, color charts, and very detailed instructions. So sorry that happened to you. I do love the detailed videos!
Watched again after getting the kit and glad I did. I put it together quickly after I remembered to peel the paper off the pieces. Now it is time to run to the quilt store and get double sided adhesive batting. Kris the gnome is so darn cute.
A wonderful tutorial! I'm 70 years old and it's fun to learn alternative techniques. I attended a class where we used pattern ease to create a collage. It was fine until I added the background pieces behind the collage pieces. There wasn't a good way to fuse the edges before adding the background pieces. My outer collage pieces shifted and required reassembling. Your method of using the mat to pre-fuse will be what I do in the future.
Jen your instructions are the best. Your choice of fabrics are stunning. The person doing the closeups and videotaping does an awesome job. I’m so thankful I found your UA-cam channel. I am one who started watching your tutorials without knowing how to quilt. I have graduated from a fearful beginner to a confident intermediate quilter. My heartfelt thanks goes to you and your team!
Woohoo! We're so glad that you're growing in your quilting expertise. Thank you very much for your kind comment and we're so glad you enjoy these fun projects :) -Michelle
Y’all have the BEST BOM kits. I’ve never run out of fabric, which is really important, and I love how organized the patterns are. I’ve already pre registered for this one. This will be my third BOM series with Shabby. I’ve avoided appliqué like the plague over the years, but after Covid retirement, I wanted/needed the challenge! You took me out of my comfort zone with the pint sized table runners, and now the paper pieced minis and I’m so happy about that. I can’t wait to do the gnomes! If I can do it, anybody can do it!
We're so glad you've been finding inspiration with our fun tutorials! Thanks so much for your very kind comment. We're looking forward to this fun Gnome Is Where the Heart Is Club!! -Michelle
This is a great idea to show us what these patterns are like to deal with before we purchase the kits. These are so cute....I may have to purchase them from the block of the month people . I love it.
Had to come back and rewatch this to make sure I can do it. You did a fantastic job on teaching the skills Jen, and I applaud you. I have the light box and all the necessary items in my cart, and as soon as I get paid, I am ordering this with all the other things that are needed. Again, thank you.
When I saw these gnomes I knew I just had to make them. Mine arrived on a Tuesday and I had it on display (a little early for Christmas) by Friday. It went together so quickly and it was easier than I thought. I did not order the thread but wish I had. The video had some very useful tips too. I am looking forward to making one for each of the remaining 11 months! Thank you for a fun project that will last a lifetime!
We are happy that you enjoyed this project and appreciate your support! Don't forget to share project photos with us! Thanks for your comment! 😊 - Abby
This gnomes are so cute and this video is great. Thank you so much. I hope it will be possible to buy the PDF pattern in the future. Greetings from Austria. 😊
Awesome idea to show the entire project early. I wondered if this was something I might want to try. I have done machine embroidery applique but never tried this type.
This is a great tutorial to watch! Happy that you watched before starting your project. It really makes a difference! Thank you for your support and comment! - Abby
Thank you for doing this from a “newbie” perspective. I’ve been quilting since January but I learn something new every day. I love that I don’t have to look up things to figure out what you meant or what you’re doing.
Thank you for the video, I quite like long videos. I have ordered the club and the thread. Can you please tell me, do you use steam in your iron and what thread do you put in the bobbin when you are sewing with the metallic thread? Thank you always nice to meet another Christian.
We're happy you enjoyed this tutorial! We do not use steam in the iron when we're fusing our appliqué shapes. We use Aurifil 50 wt. thread in the bobbin when we sew with metallic thread. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching :) -Michelle
I´m from Germany. I really wish there would be also downloadable pdf-patterns for these beautiful wallhangings! I recently made the "year in words" summer-wallhanging from the pdf-pattern and it is absolutely sweet! 😃

Good Morning Jen, I love your video's, I'm watching your wool video's right now but these really caught my eye this morning, but can we get just the pattern or do we have to buy the kit?

Hi Jo - We use Aurifil 50 wt. thread in the bobbin when we sew with metallic thread. Thanks so much for watching :) -Michelle
@@ShabbyFabrics just the gray that you pieced with? Do you try to match the metallic thread color?
Does Shabby carry fusible batting featured in this UA-cam episode? If so, which brand should I get?

Are all the shapes pre-fused and Pre-cut or do you have a scan-n-cut?
Hi mavisharris5123 - All of the appliqué shapes in these kits will come laser cut & pre-fused :) Thanks for watching. -Michelle
Do we have a group for this one too?
Yes, you can find it here: 📸 Look at this post on Facebook facebook.com/share/2LQGo99urYrzHtnp/?mibextid=K35XfP -Michelle
