Dave! I liked when you said, "It doesn't matter, we are making a goofy looking quilt on ugly 70's upholstery fabric. It will be fine!" Thank you for remingding me that this whole thing is supposed to be fun!
More "it'll be fine, we're just doing this for fun" ethic in the quilting world please! Absolutely love this quilt - my favourite block is the one with the eyes (maybe I'm just tired, but my initial reaction was "wow that's quite an out there design for the 70s!") Looking forward to seeing more of what you create!
Love your channel. If you do applique frequently, buying a silicone pressing sheet is well worth the cost. (Also called a Teflon mat.) The glue won't stick and you can layer applique pieces on the mat, peel them off as one piece and put them on your project.
Once again I'm just mind blown and absolutely WOWED. I think the hardest part is getting over the fear factor and then being able to have controlled chaos.
Dave, I love watching your creative process! Several times I’ve thought, “0kay he’s just making a mess now,” but then in a few minutes you’ve turned out something genius!! My favorite might be the one with the plane cutouts. So cool. Loved it. And your mom’s “not-orphan” blocks-turned out amazing!! Thanks for sharing your process with us!!
I have only made one quilt in my life. A queen size memory/photo/story quilt for my granddaughter. 💯 hand sewn. A month ago I started on a quilt for my 30 year old son, using his old “gangsta” hoodies and it’s a puzzle quilt. I’m not even measuring blocks. It’s really fun. I expected it to go slow because the fabric is so thick and had to have a stabiliser. The thing that is challenging me is that one of the hoodies has the most beautiful embroidery on the entire sleeves. It is so thick and hand sewing it challenging. This video of yours was really inspiring to me
This project of yours has inspired me to look at my fabric very differently which has blown my mind. So out of the box thinking with the combos that trigger my curiosity and delight my senses. So happy I found your channel, totally hooked now.
I love this!! You are a so much fun to watch and your willingness to experiment and play with your fabrics is truly inspiring! You have given this old girl a shot in the arm to bust out and put things together in a new way. Thanks for sharing your creativity with the world. :)
Batman with strawberries! I love it! Your freestyle way of working is fantastic, and one which I use also, along with my more traditional bag making. Keep up the inspiring funkiness ❤️
Very creative use of the vintage samples. My favorite block is the first one you made with the face on the green fabric. Oh wait, loved the Beatles too! Award winning quilt in my book.
Wow. I haven’t been this inspired in a long time. I used to work at a design showroom, and they throw away all their discontinued fabric. I couldn’t stand that, so consequently I have So.Many.Upholstery.Samples. This is so so good. It’s like the fabric equivalent of the people who paint monsters on thrift store art.
I love everything that you did in this video! You are my new hero. I can just see the quilt snobs turning blue over some of the hijinks you get up to. But I feel like your quilts are much more imaginative and artistic and just plain fun. I have some upholstery fabric like this and lots of novelty fabrics and you've given me some great ideas.
Thank you showing your version of upholstery fabric quilt. Your standard is very high for not so perfect material. I guess that’s why your quilts are one of kind and stunning
So CREATIVE! Dave, you have an amazingly creative mind! I love it! I’ve made several jackets/coats out of upholstery fabric!! This quilt is so busy, but yet, so delightful to explore! Again…you’ve inspired me. Thank you.
Love it! I have a scrap of the same fabric with the southwestern theme, road signs, old cars, some of which I used in a baby quilt I just finished. I like how you smash boundaries.
@davescraftroom O M G!! 😂😂 You have the most imaginative brain 🧠 ever!! Your fabric stash amazes me. I would so love to see every fabric in it. As you were doing the slideshow I had to back up and take a closer look at some of these blocks. I was DYING 😂😂😂 I’m seriously dead 💀!! You never fail to end up spot on with your designs and commitment to a project. I’m sitting here sewing on a “traditional” kinda quilt for my daughter and have your channel on and I am getting nothing done because I have to keep seeing what you are doing. Please, please, PLEASE do not stop your UA-cam channel. You are fantastically brilliant!! Thank you for sharing alll of your creations with us!! I definitely will continue to support!! ❤️❤️💙🪡🧵💙💙
Wow Dave, your quilts aren't my personal preference but I can appreciate your talent! I think your quilts will be come highly collective in the future! Absolutely fascinating watching your process 😀 👍
I’m fascinated with the eclectic collection of fabrics that you have! Blows my mind. I would never have thought to buy any of those fabrics that were appliquéd on!!! I’m only half way through so don’t know how it’s going to look when finished but great so far. Love watching you work ❤🎉
Love your artistic mind. Iron with a piece of parchment paper or Teflon sheet. No more goop on your iron. Fabric softener dryer sheets wiped across a warm iron will get any residue off from glue. You rock
Engaging, compelling, I love your combination of the applique and fabric. So cool. Dave, I enjoy your process and the result. Never expect to, but always do love your quilts. Good editing.
I love this! It is beautiful and you have inspired me to try something like this, since I, too, have a lot of upholstery samples! You are unbelievably talented!
Love love love this....wow great job!....will apply some of this on my next quilt. i too have upholstery blocks and this just gave me the idea ! thanks for sharing your ideas!!
Really love your blocks! They’re super cute! I’ve been lacking inspiration, even though I’m trained in textiles, specifically mixed media, I’m openly admitting I have of days! Thanks for being my creative buddy for today! ❤❤❤ much love from England 🏴🇬🇧 P.S, have you seen the festival of quilts ? I worked a stand at Birmingham NEC and talented artists from all over the world make an entry piece. It’s the most wonderful display of talent I’ve ever seen. Your work would fit right in.
Catching up on your back catalogue. Just a hint of using fusibles then baking paper/ parchment between the iron and the surface stops the problem with gunk on the iron or surface
I thought I was the ONLY one who just will buy any sort of interesting bargain stuff from the thrift store! The upholstery squares, too!!! I have a pile of them now... I thought about doing crazy quilt covers for my OLD sewing chairs which look quite awful about now.. or some pillows... OH yes, I WASH everything before making because yes, must be sure about shrinkage, etc...
Dave... I love the bats and Strawberries! You could design album covers! A line of Pillows etc! I think another way to use your gifts.. design privacy curtains for children wings in hospitals. Your personal line for furniture coverings. Fabric for Medical Uniforms! Best Regards Bonnie Ohio 😊
I am blown away by your imagination. A 74 year old granny thinks you are amazing as an artist. Your quilt blocks may hang in a modern museum one day.
This is the grooviest thing I’ve seen since 1973!!!!
Dave! I liked when you said, "It doesn't matter, we are making a goofy looking quilt on ugly 70's upholstery fabric. It will be fine!" Thank you for remingding me that this whole thing is supposed to be fun!
I love the indie dreamcore vibe of this quilt, so cool!
I love how your mind works!! Bringing all these disparate things together in a pop culture marriage of the last 50 years
More "it'll be fine, we're just doing this for fun" ethic in the quilting world please! Absolutely love this quilt - my favourite block is the one with the eyes (maybe I'm just tired, but my initial reaction was "wow that's quite an out there design for the 70s!")
Looking forward to seeing more of what you create!
Your carpet matches that 70’s orange. No wonder I loved your rug!!!!!

Dave, you are weird! And i mean this in the sweetest way! Dave, you are a genius! I absolutely love this quilt!!! Keep doing what you do.
You’re a total loon of the absolute BEST kind. Love this.
Collage on fabric! So fun!

Your art is amazing. I love that whole stack of 70's fabric!!
A friend was at a church sale today and bought me 2 huge totes full of upholstery samples for $3. Your video is much needed inspiration!
This project of yours has inspired me to look at my fabric very differently which has blown my mind. So out of the box thinking with the combos that trigger my curiosity and delight my senses. So happy I found your channel, totally hooked now.
I'm so glad!! And welcome to the craft room 💁♂️😜👨🏻

Your Art and Craft construction is beautiful! - thank you for sharing.
Just "Found" your channel today and am totally enjoying watching you create. Thanks for sharing with us.
You crack me up! So wish we were neighbors so we could bounce ideas off each other!
use parchment or baking paper on your ironing board and on top of the fabric to protect your iron. just a suggestion love your enthusiasm.
Wicked love it, I guess I need to cut some of my upholstery fabric and see what I can do! Tks for the inspiration.
Upholstery blocks remind me of my childhood. Another quilt for the books!
Have been watching all your videos. You’re amazing! How do you get so many fantastic quilts done so quickly? Do you sleep?

Hi, That was a great video; you're a real artist. Loved watching your enthusiasm. I've subscribed !!
thank you for subscribing and welcome to the Craft Room! 😁👨🏻
I thought I was the ONLY one who just will buy any sort of interesting bargain stuff from the thrift store! The upholstery squares, too!!! I have a pile of them now... I thought about doing crazy quilt covers for my OLD sewing chairs which look quite awful about now.. or some pillows... OH yes, I WASH everything before making because yes, must be sure about shrinkage, etc...
Love it Very creative
Gorgeous collage! I love it!
Dave...
I love the bats and Strawberries!
You could design album covers!
A line of Pillows etc!
I think another way to use your gifts..
design privacy curtains for children wings in hospitals.
Your personal line for furniture coverings. Fabric for Medical Uniforms!
Best Regards
Bonnie Ohio 😊
