Love your zipper bag tutorial (I hadn't seen lace zippers before so dived on to Amazon UK and bought a pack). Dear Jean, you could NEVER talk too much, I hang on your every word and you truly make my day. God Bless and keep you and all your family safe in these troubled times. Thank you dear girl. Marion in the UK
Your the best, love you! Did the same thing you had to do! Lost my husband of 36 years of stage 4 colon cancer last November. I moved to Pittsburgh to be near my daughter. Had to do an estate sale, and watched my household sold to strangers! So I truly understand! I’m saying prayers and sending hugs to you and your family. And I did purchase one of your quilts and I will treasure it! Thank you for you and your channel!
The lace zippers are pretty, the way you made the bag, it’s self-finishing, so cute. Went on to your video for over-the-shoulder bags, fabulous and nice of Jen to market them for you as EpiPen friendly. Your life is only going up my friend. I’m thinking you’re going to be happy touching all your fabrics again as you pack them, then again when you arrange them in your new home. Have fun with the experience Jean.
I have 5 brothers and 5 sisters.very closely knit. We were the luggage my parents packed at the drop of a hat. We enjoyed each and every stop made as a family. The seasons of our lives have made us closer and stronger for the upcoming challenges that my Lord had placed in our paths. Thank you for the fond memories. I love having my tea with you and enjoy your company and tutorials. Blessed be your journey into a new season of life with your family.
Thank you Alicia! We were just saying how our children FIT INTO OUR lives...and didn't allow the everyday slog interrupt our 'fly by the seat of our pant's' plans in Life! We've done a lot, seen a lot, accumulated a lot and feel confident we can make this move, because we have LOTS of love surrounding us:)
Love the bags. I did buy a bunch of zippers from Amazon too and now I know what I can make with them. Great gift idea. I didn't get to watch this video till after I saw some of your others and you's moved in your new old home. Yea!
Jean, I lost touch with you a few years ago I think. You are still the wonderful lady I remember. Always generous with your time and knowledgeable and happy. If my understanding is right your moving! What an adventure, although its nothing for you. You are amazing having moved with eight toddlers, 6000 miles within such a short time. Thank you for tutorial of the purse. Cross stitchers(flosstube) would love these as project bags although they would have to be larger. Wishing you Good Luck with your move and every happiness in your new home, making new memories. Much love x
Jean, you're continuing a great adventure! Take photos of your treasures and look at them when you need to. You and your family are so fortunate to be able to make this happen...breathe, clear your mind, and dive in.
I have enjoyed your videos for a while. My favorites are you and Jen going to quilt shows to visit your quilts. I love the camaraderie between you two. But these past couple of videos where you have talked more about your personal life and your feelings and your struggles, those have helped me grow to really know you and admire you. Thank you for being so honest and willing to share with us. It's hard to open up sometimes, but it helps to know that others are also not "perfect". That way no one feels like they are the only one going through hard times. Also, your tutorial is fabulous. I am going to get me some Amazon zippers and hardware and start sewing! :)
Aw thanks Amy...I was quite emotional, wasn't I?!?!? But I have found to be comfortable sharing a bit more about our life....NOT TO MUCH (LOL!) because there are so many lovely people out there!! Like yourself! Thank you again:)
Love you Jean! Don't feel pressured to explain anything. It's nobody's business to tell you what to do and how to do it. We love you the way you are and your stories. My husband and I were both in the Air Force and stationed at different bases when we met. We only saw each other 4 times from February to October when we got married, now it's 42 years later. We, hopefully, moved our last time 6 years ago while we could make the decision ourselves and not get to the point of children making the decision for us. I love people's stories. Love the tutorials. Have a great day and God bless you and your family!
I wont stop you.... I admire you....we have to do what's needed and what's the best thing to do and I wish you, Ian and Maxwell the very best but this is'nt goodbye....it's "see you in your next home" I wanted to give my support but they don't ship to Belgium or Netherlands so I want to see you back on youtube so I can see your work and enjoy the time with you..... Sending extra love to you and your whole family
You're a hoot, Jean! I don't think you talk too much. If I am in a hurry, I can watch you when I have more time. I like the bag, and I like your method. Your instructions are clear, that is what is most important in a good teacher. Thank you! Hugs!!!
You feel like an old friend to many of us. I feel for your situation and will be praying for you and your family 🙏❤️ It's nice to know you and hear about you and what's going! Life is an awesome journey, having friends to share our stories with! I really enjoy your tutorials and I can't wait for you to post new ones! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!🌻
Jean you are a trooper, you will be fine. Your right you got you health your family and you are truly blessed to have children that planned for their parents future. I really get upset with viewers that say you talk to much, they always have the choice to leave your channel, you share with us and we comunícate with you through our comments. Have a blessed day, and you all will be fine.
Thank you for sharing....I have lived in my home for 45 years....I am now looking at having to take that downsizing road that seems to haunt as time goes by and needs change. You are blessed to have support and understanding to move on to the next chapter in your life! God bless you as you move on in life! Please keep sharing and sewing!
Love that about your daughter and her husband and what a great privledge they have to do this work. I pray for them that all works out and Jehovah really has blessed them. You do not talk to much i love your videos.
You make me cry then you make me laugh, you are good therapy for the rest of us. I know you will be happy when you move because you have your family. I married my husband after 9 months, they said it will never last, well we have been married 54years the 6th of November. We have 6 children 11 grand children, 2 great grand children. We have downsized and my sewing room is in the basement not the Ileana’s set up but it’s my therapy. As long as I have my sewing I am happy.
Well done! My niece is a school nurse and she gives these little purses to the girls to carry their personal items. Since they can't carry their back packs throughout the day, they needed something they could store in their desk and carry to the restroom. Donating these items to a local school could be a good service project.
Amazing. Loved your little bag. And how wonderful your daughter and her hubby learning vietnamese for the ministry. Your happy positive personality is infectious, I'm loving all your videos so far. Hugs 🙋♀️
OH I love that little bag. You look and sound so much better today. I am so happy to see you Happy again. I just love you and I love all of your projects.
We are in the process of moving to Mexico. Sold a 3 bedroom house on 10 acres and packed only 12 totes of 45 years of marriage ... never been to Mexico don’t speak Spanish. We will arrive by car to a city we thought we’d like to live in. Nuts, crazy, emotional... best to do while healthy and WE made the choice. Never a dull moment. Lol. Hard but really looking forward to this new stage. We have two adult kids. Not any help way to busy raising their own kids, living there own lives. And that’s ok.
I love your life story so much. I keep returning to this video as I work on the bag until I need the next thing and then continue quilting. I will finish someday! I would love to hear about the Mormon religion. You should do a video on it. Does anyone else have 20 projects going at the same time? When I was a young girl in N. Ireland my mum always brought the Mormon callers in and we had sandwiches or biscuits and tea and had lovely talks. They never forced anything on us as we are Catholic but when they went back they told the next ones so they came from I was 11 until I went to university. We loved the magazine. Was it called the watchtower? Lol,this is the pouch one, ok, a pouch it is.
Glad you like this little pouch Jane and thank you for watching me! I'd love to tell you about the Mormon religion ~ if I knew anything about it!! LOL! However, Our family are Jehovah's Witnesses and yes, the magazine that we freely distribute to the public is, indeed, the Watchtower!! Along with its' companion magazine, the Awake. LOL! Because of COVID, and out of love for the entire world in such perilous times, our public door-to-door and outdoor cart/trolley preaching work has been halted for the time being ~ however we are still reaching people via letters and telephones! The real test to see if COVID is over and it's safe to go out, is when Jehovah's Witnesses start knocking on your doors again!! LOL! LOL! Take care and thanks again:)
wow , I think it's awesome what your daughter and son in law is doing.. Spreading God's holy word.. That is wonderful.. God bless you and your family...
Thank you for the sweet tutorial. I look forward to your NEX little bag tutorial. Your move is going to be awesome. I can see how much you love you're pretty things as well you should but they are just momentos that can go with you in your heart. You have a great family with lots of love and support and that's what counts. You're going to have an awesome sewing room with a lot less work in your new house. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family everyday.
I love that you told us about how you make quick decisions. I know you will be fine with the move. It’s another adventure. You will be loving that new craft room and I can’t wait to follow you through this experience.
Jean, although the three 'D's don't affect you, you're still bound to feel emotional! I was emotional for you! You don't talk too much, I like that you share with us. You re an awesome woman! I can't wait to see your new sewing room!!! I use zipper tape, I can get 4m for £1 here in the UK! Thank you for the tutorial, it's brill xx
Cry your tears Jean. Tears are good for the soul. On another note...I have the same sewing machine card you have on your back shelf. Mine is framed. You are a special woman.
God bless you Jean, you're a beautiful person and I love your chatter. I pray your move go smoothly and so happy you have a beautiful loving family looking out for you. I pray Maxwell adjust well to his new home. Thank you for the lovely tutorial, I have always loved those lace zippers. I used them on tissue pouches. The lace zips makes them look so expensive. The same type of pouches you and Jen made as welcoming gifts for your church. BJ
God bless you and your family. Loved hearing about your crazy life and can hear all the love that grows in your family. You are a strong and lovely person. Just keep going as you are.
Such a precious little bag! Life is full of changes. You seem to have a special knack for embracing the changes and making the best of them. It is a rare gift❤
Thanks for sharing your new life changes. Your attitude is uplifting even through the changes. Love this little bag tutorial . Can’t wait to see the other ones. 😀
Hi Jean am so glad to se you looking so much better and more positive I am getting excited for you it's going to be an adventure .please don't get to tired or you may become ill .god bless you all .from Liz Johnson in the Uk .xxx
I am so glad that you are doing better. I am the impulsive one in the marriage. And I love your style. Thank you for telling your story. Best of luck in your new venture
You never talk to much Jean...love seeing you so much....we've been there too. I know this is a tough time to deal with moving from yr family home. It w work out...prayers for you and family. So glad to see you Jean...you make my day!!
Yay! The thought of decorating a new place can be fun! Kind of like having a big dollhouse. And that new and improved sewing space will be a fun thing to plan and occupy. I'm on my 4th dedicated sewing room and this one is the best yet. Yes, onward. The hopes and dreams continue and the bumps and valleys are just a part of the ride, as it turns out. Not easy, sometimes very painful. Best wishes for all the Trueloves ❤ x 12
OMG Jean you are so sweet good luck on your new adventure look at it as a.blessing . Your going to have more time to quilt to me that's what it all about.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So happy to hear you’re getting more comfortable with the big move. I would love it if you’d film and post some of your moving adventure and I can’t wait to see your new sewing space! PLEASE keep talking, Jean.... you have no idea how much you’ve taught us. ❤️ the sweet little zippered bag.
When my husband was in the Army, I always thought my theme was “bloom where you are planted!” I’m sure that’s what you will do. I married my hubs after dating for about 10 weeks, 45 years later it’s still working.
Love the little bags! I see many in my future projects. Love your videos and listening to your story. I watched your silent video of your family -so precious. I look forward to the next installment of “The Truelove Journey”
I just love this tutorial, I never did French seams but now I will, your are the best Jean, I love your stories, I surely learned a lot from you and I thank you, everything I make I give it away for charities etc.
You are so lucky to have family that is looking out for you. We are trying to move from our family home of 40 years. Moving to a one floor final home near daughter
CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US A HOUSE TOUR BEFORE YOU START TAKING APART THE HOUSE? I'm dying to see the dining room and front room, they always look so great in your show and tell videos.
Hi Jean, We did the same things, quick decisions too. We adjust to new journeys ☺️ Thank you for the cute bag tutorial. 👍❤️🥰 Take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC
Jean, you are the sweetest lady ever. I love that you talk to us. You don’t talk too much! I am sure this choice to move has been in thoughts unexpressed for awhile. I love that you take adventures. You also do that in your quilting. Your create and figure it out. Your daughter and son in law are a blessing to your family. My husband is a pastor. I know the life. God bless you dear friend.
Hello Jean you look wonderful today and I’m so happy for you and your family and your move. You have a wonderful family, love you and what you do to help us quilters. I just love your bags. I love watching you doing your sewing and quilting. Hello to Jen from Faith. I ‘m sewing with you today too on my new Juki sewing machine.❤️🧵😀
This is fabulous, Jean! Thank you so much. Your tips were really helpful, too. Good luck with your move. I know that can be very stressful, but you have a good attitude, so I know it will be a positive outcome for you and your family.
Love your energy and out look on life. Praying for peace and that the Lord will pour out the oil of gladness and joy over you. I love both bags the cross body bag will be great for my granddaughter who is in middle school can't waite till you can do these. Blessing
You are my heart Jean and I love you so! Great tutorial and I really love those lace zippers and the pouch is perfect with French seams, lovely stitching! 💚
Hi Jean ~ Jen had a marvelous thought! They would be perfect to use to hold Epi-pens, etc. for students with allergies. I worked as a school secretary and was responsible to keep track of students with medical issues. I would have a huge binder with medical information in the office. Plus a smaller binder for listing students with life threatening medical information. I could have used these pouches for the student/teacher to take with them on Field trips. I would purchase the plastic label sleeve though to hold the card on the outside of the pouch with the student`s name and instructions on dosage, etc. Medicines were always kept in the office. It would mean more work for me but it would contain the medication and in an emergency on a class trip they would know exactly where to look. Bravo Jen.
Love your zipper bag tutorial (I hadn't seen lace zippers before so dived on to Amazon UK and bought a pack). Dear Jean, you could NEVER talk too much, I hang on your every word and you truly make my day. God Bless and keep you and all your family safe in these troubled times. Thank you dear girl.

Thank YOU Marion! I really appreciate your support and kindness! :) (And aren't the Lace Zippers the prettiest?!?)
Those are adorable too

Thanks for a great tutorial on a quick pouch with decorative zipper. You Trueloves did a great job with the move out and move in to a smaller place!
Thank you so much Gloria!! We did it! :) Pretty settled in here!
I love your tutorials! Love your accent! Love you sharing your adventures in downsizing!
Thanks so much! 😊

I love you. It will all work out. You truly are blessed.
Aw thank you:) Yes, it will all work out:)
Love you Jean! Don't feel pressured to explain anything. It's nobody's business to tell you what to do and how to do it. We love you the way you are and your stories.
My husband and I were both in the Air Force and stationed at different bases when we met. We only saw each other 4 times from February to October when we got married, now it's 42 years later. We, hopefully, moved our last time 6 years ago while we could make the decision ourselves and not get to the point of children making the decision for us. I love people's stories.
Love the tutorials. Have a great day and God bless you and your family!
That bag is awesome! Love it and thanks for the tips for buying supplies!
Glad it was helpful Carla:)

I really enjoy listening to you. Please don't stop talking. Enjoy your new home and your new sewing room. Will you be moving very far?
Thank you! I couldn't shut up if you paid me!! LOL! Only about a 10 minute drive, but actually a bit closer to some of our kids homes :)

It helps to share with your friends.your guts and resilience just amazes me. More power to you!
Yay! The thought of decorating a new place can be fun! Kind of like having a big dollhouse. And that new and improved sewing space will be a fun thing to plan and occupy. I'm on my 4th dedicated sewing room and this one is the best yet. Yes, onward. The hopes and dreams continue and the bumps and valleys are just a part of the ride, as it turns out. Not easy, sometimes very painful. Best wishes for all the Trueloves ❤ x 12

PLEASE keep talking, Jean.... you have no idea how much you’ve taught us.
❤️ the sweet little zippered bag.
Jean your an awesome gal. You make everything sew easy. Thoroughly enjoy your vids. Thankyou for taking time out of your day. 😊🌸🌺
I would love to use those cross body bags for me as an adult too. So cute
You belong to such an awesome family :) and you’re an inspiration
When my husband was in the Army, I always thought my theme was “bloom where you are planted!” I’m sure that’s what you will do. I married my hubs after dating for about 10 weeks, 45 years later it’s still working.
I got mine online too i love the lace zippers too and glad to find more projects that use those lace zippers. So cute
You made this look so easy and doable...thank you!!!
Love the little bags! I see many in my future projects. Love your videos and listening to your story. I watched your silent video of your family -so precious. I look forward to the next installment of “The Truelove Journey”
Jean, I am sincerely happy for you. Best of luck to you and your family.
I just love this tutorial, I never did French seams but now I will, your are the best Jean,
I love your stories, I surely learned a lot from you and I thank you, everything I make I give it away for charities etc.
You are so lucky to have family that is looking out for you. We are trying to move from our family home of 40 years. Moving to a one floor final home near daughter
CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US A HOUSE TOUR BEFORE YOU START TAKING APART THE HOUSE? I'm dying to see the dining room and front room, they always look so great in your show and tell videos.
Someone else suggested that!! Watch this space:)
I’d love to see that too!

Jean, you are the sweetest lady ever.
I love that you talk to us. You don’t talk too much! I am sure this choice to move has been in thoughts unexpressed for awhile. I love that you take adventures. You also do that in your quilting. Your create and figure it out.

No wonder I love you!!!! My late hubby n I got married 3 months to the day we met !!! And people thought we were crazy. Lol lol
Oh we are most certainly Crazy:)
You are my heart Jean and I love you so!
Great tutorial and I really love those lace zippers and the pouch is perfect with French seams, lovely stitching! 💚
Hi Jean ~ Jen had a marvelous thought! They would be perfect to use to hold Epi-pens, etc. for students with allergies. I worked as a school secretary and was responsible to keep track of students with medical issues. I would have a huge binder with medical information in the office. Plus a smaller binder for listing students with life threatening medical information. I could have used these pouches for the student/teacher to take with them on Field trips. I would purchase the plastic label sleeve though to hold the card on the outside of the pouch with the student`s name and instructions on dosage, etc. Medicines were always kept in the office. It would mean more work for me but it would contain the medication and in an emergency on a class trip they would know exactly where to look. Bravo Jen.
I NEVER thought of it.....good old Jen to the rescue:) LOL!
