Hi everyone! We are both still recovering from the flu and hope to be back to work again very soon! Carlos will prepare the log cabin patchwork technique so we can make a tutorial soon. And yes, lazy daisy in English is Mille-fleur in French, same stitch, two different names. We like to think that whatever it’s called, it makes a lovely decoration on a patchwork square! Keep in mind that English is not our main language, as we are from Norway, and we also have a very large audience of viewers outside of the USA/UK to speak to who also don’t have English as their main language, so we prefer to keep our words a little bit more “international” here on our channel 😉. We wish you a nice week and we look forward to a live stream coming soon! Arne
ARNE & CARLOS Hope you will recover soon and feeling better. I am waiting for the live stream looking forward to it and the tutorial as well. Have a nice day. Ni är så fina. Thanks
Thank you Arne and Carlos. Hope you both feel better very soon. Looking forward to the Log Cabin video and "Live Stream". Carlos Thank you for speaking so clearly and your pronunciation of your English is very good. I have hearing impairment, so the way you speak is very good for me. Even though Arne's voice is quieter, I love hearing you speak your Norwegian language Arne, you are so funny. Please do not change the way you both are. Love you both. Thank you :-) :)
I'm sorry to hear that you both have been ill.
Please know that when I expressed my thought that the stitch was lazy daisy, it was meant as a question, definitely not
criticizum. American English is my first language. I've learned a great deal from you both.
Obrigada, parabéns, beijos do Brasil! 😉🌹🌷
Oh no! Get well both of you xx
The thing that I like best about you two is the way you enjoy the process. So many publications talk about short cuts and how to do everything quickly. To me, that misses the whole point of why we create. You two share the joy of making things by hand using the beautiful materials you've gathered over the years. You inspire me - not to do exactly what you do - but to create my own work.
Karen Stuhlfeier ❤️❤️
Your videos are little gems. They sparkle and bring joy to me.
Try to take it easy whilst you recover from the flu. Only do things that are absolutely necessary, and that are restful and relaxing.
I'm not going to comment on 'mille-fleur', but instead on 'by eye'. Arne seemed a little unsure about the correct phrase. I'm a native speaker of English, and would use 'doing it by eye' and also 'measuring by eye'. Arne, your use of the phrases was totally correct.
You two are really "in the zone" when you're doing this type of work. I could watch and listen to you for hours! Thanks for another inspiring video.
Carlos & Arne, If you don't know what something is called in English, just say it in Norweigen so we can learn some Norweigen words too. I'd love that.😊
The silver embroidery is absolutely beautiful 😍
Modern quilting sewing machines bring “convenience” in our fast-paced world. Everything seems to move so quickly. With the touch of a button, the machine needle can zip quickly across the fabric with a perfect row of daisies. And yet, something is missing for me in that process. Thank you, Arne, for reminding me to slow down today and take time to find the joy and calmness in simply putting needle and thread to something beautiful. You both continue to bring peace to my days.
Glad to hear that!
Aloha from Hawaii, started watching your channel, love it. I am a quilter for my enjoyment time, still work full time, wife of 46 yrs, mother of 4 grown girls who all live in the states and my eight grand-babies. Love your beautiful country, Mahalo
Feel better both of you! So nice to think of us when u r sick! Wish I was close by to sit n sew pearls n flowers with Arne!🤗🌸🌺❤️
Mille-fleur sounds so much better than lazy daisy! I’m just so thankful that you do these podcasts in English! Another great tutorial ❤️
You are welcome Sue!
Gorgeous men, gorgeous work. Thank you
I'm so relaxed now, I think I'll take a nap. Lol. You two are marvelous and so inspiring. I need to finish my quilt, my socks, my pillow top, my shawl... no naps for me. Thank you for another lovely podcast. Mil abrazos.
You can tell that you are designers because of what fabrics you use and how you put them together on the quilt blocks, AND by what designs you use to embellish. That's what makes your quilts so lovely. I try to create something as beautiful and it is not. BUT I try to use your videos as inspiration, not for comparison. I keep doing "my thing", trying to create a pleasing style that I can call my own. I do like how you keep reminding us that joy is the object all our creativity, not perfection. I knitted my first hat and it's not perfect, but I thoroughly enjoyed making it and delight in wearing it.
Arne, I don’t know what it is about they way you say hello, but I always love and look forward to hearing you say hello. It is a single word that sounds so happy and joyful. So, I say in return to you, hello. :)
I love that black and white log cabin piece you guys have made. It’s simply gorgeous!
Please, in the future, when either of you guys are doing some stitches (regardless of what kind), can you have more overhead or closeup shots, please? It’s so amazing to watch what you’re doing, whether, knitting, crocheting, or embroidery, or embellishing, or...am I forgetting something lol?
YaYa I’m the same. I love the way ARNE says “hello.” 🧶🌟🧶🌟🧶🌟🧶🌟
I LOVE your channel! So many beautiful creations. Thank you so much for making my day.
Hello Arne & Carlos! While I can’t machine sew to save my life, I do love to embroider. I’m predominantly a knitter, and gardener, but I truly enjoy your patchwork videos. I cannot imagine either of you just sticking to one craft! You’re both inspirations to me! ❤️
FAB log cabin blocks!! Silver & black. Gorgeous!!
Thank you!
Log cabin was my first quilt I made
I have most of my quilts on fb
Sense I can’t share here but love
The Victorian quilt. All was wanted to make one. But have to collect my collection of fabric. First do like the
Tips on this just finished quilting a quilt. Now I have to bind it and it will be done just love all of the Beautiful fabrics you have. 🥰
Thank you so much Barbie!
Very pretty!
You two are multi-media specialists. You enjoy using more than one or two media and techniques in a project. Knitting, crochet, quilting, embroidery, beading, lacework- it’s all in there.
Carlos, you are looking so handsome in red!Please, more and if possible a litlle longer close-ups of the process next time.But is also nice to watch you both in the "totale", do not take it wrong, please. Good and steady health for you both.thank you for the lovely epidose.
Thank you for confirming yarn work and sewing are relaxing. No one seems to understand how relaxing it is to sit and work with yarn and textiles: although I've tried to explain why I find it a great way to de-stress after a long hard day.
Actually it has been proven that sewing and knitting and crochet, and probably painting, lower the blood pressure and slower the heart beat.
get well soon Arne and Carlos, greetings from Australia.
Thank you for the stitch work tutorial - very peaceful to watch. I hope you are both well and vibrant again very soon! And I would love to see that patchwork skirt again! and more on the construction. I look forward to your Sunday videos. I seem to be able to remember what you teach and show in your videos - you both are natural teachers. Also - a little off subject but I will be moving to a new house within a couple of months with my daughter and son-in-law and we would love to learn to garden with a few simple veggies and flowers. And how to improve the soil - perhaps also container gardening? Would you consider doing videos on starting a garden?? Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.
Yes please, I would love to see the Log Cabin block! Love all that you two do! Very cool!
Carlos-Hi everybody
Arne-Hello
You are so sweet both of you❤️❤️
You always surprise me in a charming way! What a beautiful stitch. Thank you for this tutorial.
You are welcome Carmen!
I don't enjoy sewing and never find it relaxing. Won't be using the lesson in this tutorial, but I enjoyed watching it and have respect for all of you who can work on sewing projects like this. Knitting is definitely my thing.
Hope you are both feeling better! I love this video about embellishing patchwork items, the black & gray piece is stunning. So many things to make! And keep teaching us Norweigen!
Thank you Arne and Carlos for sharing. Your pieces are stunning!!!
Thank you fro watching Barbara!
You are both amazing whatever you put your hands to, the UFO is pretty stunning, I did think the sewing at the seams was machine done, shame on me I should've known better 😬 Love how you have also highlighted fabric designs with gold chain stitch, My head is bursting (in a good way) a million fiori thanks 💖 Have a great week Arne & Carlos
I love spending part of my Sunday with you both ! I call that a "lazy daisy " stitch and you "eyeball" something or as you said " do it by eye " . I've always put French Knots in the middle of my flower but I'm going to use beads now after seeing how pretty they look. I also quilt and the Log Cabin is a favorite for me because it's easy and works up pretty quickly. Hand work is so restful and satisfying , it doesn't matter which craft I do it is a sense of accomplishment when I'm done. Thank you so much for your inspiration ! Oh, and kudos Arne for using metallic thread, that is not easy to work with ! Enjoy your week...
Love the log cabin block. Yes please would love to see a tutorial on how you do it. Your ideas on usage of various laces are great. My head is spinning with lots of ways to incorporate the lace in some of my needlework projects. Thanks for sharing. (Pauline S)
I really love you both, and how you do all kind of craft. I used to think that it's better to master one kind than be jack of all trades, but I really love to try all kind of crafting (and already did). Now you show me that it's okay to make all those pretty things as long as we enjoy it and makes us happy. So I think it's time for me to learn patchwork.
I am a quilter and I love learning new techniques from you ❤️
I love mixing texture and embroidery. Love the log cabin and embroidery .
Hi both, I was amazed to discover that your embroidery is hand stitched. I was expecting to see you put the patchwork under the foot of your lovely Bernina machine as the stitches look so even on your log cabin sample. This type of work has so many layers to it and the finished product is stunning. You must get the black and white cushion finished to add to your beautiful collection of cushions. XAngela
Speaking of lining, I have a coverlet/quilt that I bought years ago. It's fallen into being a less loved color than it was when I bought it. Still nice, but never used it. I'm making my first quilt top, and plan to use it to provide both, batting, and lining. There are two 'linings,' but, hopefully nothing will show through. If it does, plan B. Thanks for continuing to show your quilting. It is inspiring. Nice to see the progress. Makes me happy.
I look forward to watch you making the blk & wt log garden & finishing stitching
Love your work
Love to watch Arne stitch! Yep, the flower is a "lazy daisy" but not usually attached to the crosses, as you're doing - very clever and pretty variation. xo from Oregon again.
Each little petal we call the lazy daisy stitch. Beautiful!
Thanks for another fantastic video for Sunday Funday! Its so enjoyable to watch folks crafting when they love it so much. The happiness exudes into the atmosphere and one can't help but feel the intoxication. What a glorious feeling! ❤️ The squares are gorgeous, and I love the way you guys put the 'pieces' together. Thanks for sharing with us. Please give Freja some love on our behalf. 🐶💕
haha FLOWER.. .. aww I laughed.. sorry I just lost my big brother 😢😔😔.. but I finally laughed.. thank u Arne n Carlos.. just love the work ur doing, very cool beautiful flowers 💐.. I also recently decided to learn embroidery.. is this similar to it hmm.. and yes lessons in language.. much much love from Texas.. 💕💕
I would love to see a tutorial on the log cabin! Great video as always guys - thank you so much.
The first few stitches where you make the flower were the stitches my mother taught me to sew hems. It always looked so much neater.
As always another wonderful video, no matter what you two work on it’s always educational, entertaining and fun. Working together is always much more fun, at our home I knit while my husband paints it’s a great way of exchanging ideas and most importantly doing things together.
I remember when growing up my mother, aunts, cousins, and friends would get together to knit, sew, crochet and embroider, the children would be given scraps of materials and we would ( very primitive ) make dolls clothes , then we would be taught to knit.
There was always a lot of laughing and fun at these gatherings, I miss those days, most of all I’m sad because children today do not want to learn those skills they are too busy with computer games and texting. Still I keep trying and always bring material, yarn and needles in case they decide to have a go.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful stitches!
This video is great. I´m so glad, that i discoverd just your canal. Watching you sewing is nearly so joyful as self sewing. Say: thosends of flowers ;-)
During the day we do planed work and in the evening, already tired, watching tv we do unplaned stuff. We take time to sew - the greatest thing in the world.
Thank you so much for the "stress relief" I always know where to come to take a breath...I think the flower stitch Arne is doing is the lazy daisy stitch? I think that's what my Grandmother used to call it :) slow stitching is zen zone :) :)
So sorry to hear that you both came down with the flu. Enjoyed this inspirational show. I would love to see more like this one. Thank you again for all the hard work you doing putting these products on line. Hugs to you both.( Ontario, Canada. Please make your wool available here to us.)
You now have a fan from Auckland New Zealand! Hi guys, high summer here so watching this so I can emulate when it's not so warm.
Another lovely Sunday video. Love the Zen embroidery it encourages me to pick up my felted mitten and finish the embroidery on that.
Thank you as always for your Sunday afternoon/evening company
Enjoyed demonstration so much. Now back to my knitted birds.
Happy Sunday to you both, Arne and Carlos!! Thank you for sharing the beautiful embroidery!!
Thank you so much for sharing patchwork quilting. I'm a quilter and a knitter. I so appreciate all your tutorials and your conversations with all of us.
It makes my Sunday afternoon.❤️ And as always 👍👍. Have a wonderful week.
Phoebe.
Clever and Inspiring. I knew there was something missing because I just couldn't sew the crazy blocks together. This is it!
Appealing is the good word for the style you work together Thank you
You guys never cease to amaze me. Is there anything you can't do?? Massive hugs from the UK!!
Priceless, thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Hi Arne and Carlos! I look forward to every Sunday as I know I will find a new video from you both! Your stitches are just beautiful! They add so much to the fabric! I've started hand embroidery recently. I have A LOT going on ATM. Moving long distance which is very stressful. The embroidery is so incredibly relaxing! A stress reliever for sure. Once again you have demonstrated yet another way to add beauty to what you already may have!
Yes tutorial please! Love you two. :)
Hi my two most favourite designers lovely to see you both again this week. I just adore your handiwork, it is so beautiful and looks absolutely stunning. I do hope you complete the log cabin cushion as it would look gorgeous in your lovely home. I would love to see the love cabin technique as I am quite new to patchwork. Arne your flower stitch is so pretty and I am definitely going to try it. I do love your sense of humour Arne and Carlos, you always make me giggle, you are both such delightful people. Big hugs and loves to you both xxxxxxx 😘🙋🏻❤️🌟
I could watch you guys all day.
Thank you!
We always have time for you guys 😊 thank you for brightening our day x
Great cushion! We say "eyeball it" , and "Zig Zag " stitch, turns into "Fly" with the extra leg thenas said, "Lazy daisy" which as a single can be one after another as a "chain" When quilters like me sew patchwork, we 'eyeball" the 1/4 inch seam deferring to the US terms for 6mm. Hugs WAH..
Glad you are both healthy again. Love the patchwork quilt, you both look so relaxed. I did one years ago and gave it away, . After watching your patchwork videos I'll be going through my sewing buckets tomorrow. Lots of nice fabric pieces, beads, threads in different weights, lace and probably a dust bunny as well. Oh yay, gonna get out the sewing machine. XXOO
Hi Gail! Thank you for watching and good luck with your patchwork!
Love the video...as usual!!! I agree that hand sewing is relaxing. Yes to the log cabin video!!!!
It's really relaxing watching you guys too! Plus the beautiful work you do! Love you guys have a great week! Kathy in Ohio! 😀
I always look forward to your Sunday videos. Please keep up your fantastic work!
You two are so talented.
Love to see your log cabin tutorial! Enjoyed watching you working on fabric and embellishments!
Hi there thank you for another interesting video, always something interesting happening in your cosy house, would love to sit and sew with you. Something totally different, I left some Geraniums in a pot outside and felt sorry for them and planted them in pots and they are making little leaves.... so glad, saw your lovely Geranium on the shelf and hope mine will grow so amazing, you said something about Japanese composing, could you please tell us more about that. Geraniums are outside plants all the time so now in the UK it's a new adventure and at 67 I have a good selection of house plants, it makes sense in these long dark winters. Thanks again Anita
Hi Arne and Carlos,恭喜发财，万事如意.Today is Chinese New Year . Happy Chinese New Year.The year of the pig. Thank you for all your lovely programs
Thank you for the videos. Your blocks are beautiful. I would not have thought about overlaying over a piece of the block. Very original. It adds the the block so much.
You two are very relaxing to watch! I want to have stitch more now.
A very enjoyable video. Loved the embroidery and what a gorgeous piece of work the log cabin squares are. I think the stitch Arne was sewing is called in English Lazy Daisy. I learnt how to sew that at Primary school and that was a LONG time ago. I still have that piece of work and treasure it. Thank you , your work is so beautiful. Hugs Avril xx
Great show, love the stitchery! Love to see more!
Hi there boys! I now have an Arne & Carlos workbasket!! Let's see, there's a crazy patchwork pillow in progress, a knitted pillow, the X & O hat, 2 mice in different stages of finish, a pair of socks and 2 dish towels and 2 pillow cases that I am adding touches of a pansy cross stitch band. HA...what fun, I see that after today, I will be adding embroidered accents to my crazy patchwork pillow. This has added such an element of joy to my handwork because it is very reminiscent of visiting my elderly aunt when I was young when she would eave me in peace to minutely inspect each project. I vividly remember her giving me a guided tour of her house and her describing how old she was when she started and completed each item. Just like when you do the same...this is your life's handwork.
I’ve allways wanted to knit ! But it seems so complex lol maybe I can learn something from you ! Can’t wait to see how you fill this in ! I love sewing ! Patchwork but I’ve been more into garments as well ! But this I am impressed ! Your both very talented ! Ty again for sharing !
You are welcome!
Carlos, thanks for your reply. Memory is such an interesting subject. I thought I remembered seeing you in some videos with your hair combed straight back. My mistake. I always enjoy all your videos.
Thank you for this wonderful podcast. I think hand-stitching is so relaxing and watching you both made me want to start another project. I would really enjoy a tutorial on the log cabin blocks. The black and white blocks with the embroidery is elegant and beautiful!
It is relaxing to watch you stitching and making these beautiful quilted pieces. I love watching y’all work! I love learning the Norwegian words. Thank you so much for the inspiring!
Enjoyable, lovely that you have your many crafts in common, always enjoy the different settings in your home and garden.
I love this so much. My background is Pennsylvania Dutch. We make crazy quilts and then we do all kinds of cool stitches over the seams to show off all the stitches we can make. We use scraps to make the quilts. This is so wonderful to be reminded of my heritage. I think I will take some of my children's clothes and try this. I have never made one so you have inspired me to try. Thanks guys for another terrific video. Hugs to both of you. Have a super week.
I found your UA-cam channel quite by accident and love watching you both. You have inspired me to want to try quilting with different fabrics. The way you embellish your projects are just beautiful! Please continue recording your quilting. I find myself so relaxed watching you both. By the way, you speak English just beautifully!!
My best from RI,
MaryAnn
I do not sew or embroider, but I really enjoy watching you work on these projects. Perhaps “work” is the wrong word, though, because it is obvious that you love what you are doing!
You guys are so entertaining! I already know how to do most of these things but I love to watch you do it. I do need the instruction in doing embrodiery though. Amazing how lovely those little flowers turn out.
As always, inspirational! And, yes, very relaxing watching Arne making stitches...perfect video for getting the creative juices flowing and becoming peaceful at the same time.
I am so amazed and in awe of both of you. Such talent and artfulness and imagination!
I would love to see you do a log cabin block!
Hi Arne and Carlos, you are amazing, you have a full of good ways to use scrap materials and lace. I bought a couple of years ago lace on EBAY because they were pretty and did not know what to do with it. I am telling you thank you for the great idea now I know what to do whit it. Well guys keep up the tutorial and you are so sweet to share your knowledge and time with us. Hugs from Canada. Francine
I am relatively new to your channel and your work. Obviously I have so much to catch up on!!!! So many things to go back and find. This was perfect as embroidery is something I have taken up just this month! Any videos on the subject would be great. Your work is beautiful 😍. Thank you.
YES. It would be appreciated to see a tutorial on the log cabin quilt. Love your videos!
Love watching your tutorials and many projects.
I understand you. You are both fantastic. We my husband and I love watching you.
Awesome Hand embroidery helps to catch up to our busy self.
As always beautiful work. I could sit and watch and listen to you both all day. 🌞
Hand work is the most gratifying. You two are always so anticipated!! Thank you.
Someone told me once that really good embroidery is supposed to look as nice on the back as it does on the front. Is that true? How can it be done, I wonder. Also...when I was young I couldn't stand to embroider or sew by hand. It made me so nervous I couldn't bear it because I was so ADHD. But now I'm old and I find it relaxing. Isn't it neat how you can find joy in something later in life? Thank you so much for your wonderful vids!
I'm rewatching your patchwork videos, would love to see more videos on this. You two are so inspiring.
Hi, thank you! We have planned more patchwork videos in the near future!
@@ARNECARLOS I’m so excited.👏
Oh my 🙆🏼♀️
I just keep learning from the 2 of you🥳
I could watch Arne embroider things all day long! It’s so relaxing. My mom was an avid embroiderer, however I’m lazy and will only do edges on my Bernina, if needed. 😁 Your sewing and embroidery are amazing! Love you guys!
I have the sensation that I am sitting at your table at a sewing circle! Lovely work!
Welcome to our table!
