Like Jim Stafford sings, "I don't like spiders and snakes..." But I do like your "make do or do without" approach to scrap quilts. Sometimes the most fun is figuring out how to make your fabric work for you. Just because something doesn't match doesn't mean it doesn't go together. Happy quilting and Happy Christmas.
Love your scrap quilt. It makes sense to use what’s left over from others. No storage issues lol. Really enjoyed your vlogs. Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed new year. You make the world more beautiful ❤❤❤.
Oh my goodness, my daughter would love this! She's had a longtime admiration for all things creepy and crawly. 😃 Merry Christmas, Amy! Thank you for adding your beauty to this world through quilting, art, and you just being you. ❤
@amydement. I wish we could share pictures here. A couple years ago, the science museum in Boise Idaho had an incredible art display made entirely of insects and animals that had been recovered, cleaned, and then respectfully displayed in beautiful art installations.
Hello Beautiful! I have been really into piano key borders lately. It uses up a lot of scraps and is so dynamic. I will sometimes float the piano keys in the background too. I seldom have large chunks of fabric, I tend to buy one yard cuts, so I can buy more variety. So I have always use different values of a given color to get to the total yardage required. Merry Christmas!
Hi Amy. I know I am not your target demographic. I DO love to watch quilters and talk about quilts. (And maybe one day I'll actually make one.) But I wanted to tell you that I have enjoyed watching your vlogmas videos. You are encouraging and inspiring. Thanks for what you do to make the world more beautiful.
I skipped past the crawling things, gives me nightmares 😂😂 But I went to the grocery store.. get ready to be pushed around! Oh my gosh it was horrible so I left . My son went lol 😂 enjoy your evening ❤
Well you grow the creepy crawler things bigger in Texas guess I will stay in NY!! I always look at a pattern as a guideline then do my own thing. I guess it’s time to start wrapping Christmas presents 😅😅
Flexible is having a plan then getting a call about an ultrasound appointment that they forgot to let you know about. Since it's for tomorrow morning and they're hard to reschedule, I had to do tomorrow's tasks today, including making 10 bowl cozies for family and cooking. My sister is gifting me a box of 2" strips that is marked for a log cabin quilt. She wants to see what I'll do with them. I love your idea of the piano key border with random width strips. That's right up my alley. I hope you are winding down so you can enjoy time with your family. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁😊
@@amydement. I think it's payback for the 2k 5.5" squares I cut for her. She has me way out paced in the charitable giving. She's pretty amazing.. I'm pretty sure she made at least 63 Christmas pillowcases that went to brighten a veterans home, teens aging out and others. Just when she thinks she's going to run out of fabric, she's gifted more. Hence my gift.
I love that! It seems you guys have a friendly competitive nature about who can help more- what a total delight and gift for those in need! Thank you for sharing.
My local quilt shop had end of bolt sale I went looking for fabric for Granddaughter a quilt didn't find that but found some cat prints I have trouble spending when it is on sale. My daughter-in-law kept finding 😂 more for me. At least I have enoigh to keek me busyfor a long time. Have enjoyed watching you every day. Wishing you and your family a blessed Holiday Season. Maythe sun keep shining.
I don’t mind bugs if they aren’t crawling in my house. Then they meet up with my plastic sandal. I always pick up color theory from you. Many thanks; hate to not having a daily “Amy time” soon. Merry Christmas to you and those you love.
Thanks for the heads up on twin size quilts for Sleep in Heavenly Peace! Now I can really dig in and start planning/making some to set aside until I contact the local chapter :) This is so exciting to me!
I find them fascinating and unnerving at the same time. I love learning about spiders and insects and nature and how our world doesn’t work without them. I tell you, sometimes the pecan store is worth the trip just because it smells so good in there! ♥️
Ah yes! Winter Solstice is past, and here in Alaska we are all saying AMEN! Tomorrow we'll gain 34 seconds, bringing us about 5 1/2 hours of daylight. Hopefully the sun will show through the clouds, too.😁 Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas!
Oh Solstice means so much more to you there! I love Alaska. We visited SE and Denali several years ago and I would love to get to spend some REAL time there.
I grew up in San Antonio and they call the museum. Witt-ee. It is a great museum. Nice exhibit i love your content. FYI. The Idiot Wuilter mentioned you in a recent vlog. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thanks so much! 😊
I'm loving those fabrics and totally loving seeing that green grass. I have brown dead grass when it's not covered in ice and snow
Ugh it’s cold here this week and I HATE it! Hawaii might be my true calling.
@amydement. I'm thinking the equator for me. This teens and twenties are killing me
🥶
Oh my goodness, my daughter would love this! She's had a longtime admiration for all things creepy and crawly. 😃
Merry Christmas, Amy! Thank you for adding your beauty to this world through quilting, art, and you just being you. ❤
You are so sweet! Thank you! We also enjoyed (several years ago) the Audubon Insectarium in New Orleans!

Very cool. You can send it to amy@amydement.com

Thank you Amy for all your vlogmas videos, I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Take care. Margaret
Thank you so much! You too!😊♥️
The spiders didn't scare me, but grocery shopping two days before Christmas? AAAHHHHHH, run! lol Have a beautiful holiday.
It's definitely a challenge to get it all done. Happy Holidays to you too!
Well you grow the creepy crawler things bigger in Texas guess I will stay in NY!! I always look at a pattern as a guideline then do my own thing. I guess it’s time to start wrapping Christmas presents 😅😅
A pattern is just a suggestion right ?!♥️♥️😜

Oh my gosh - that sounds like a crazy day! It's so great that you have such a supportive sister! That log cabin adventure will be fun.

OMG, I used that hippo fabric in a quilt for my son, he's 34 yo. I still have some, but in blues and purples. TY for sharing!!!
That’s so awesome - I thought it might be quite a stash dive!
Merry Christmas! The vlogmas has been fun!
Merry Christmas to you too!😊♥️

Thank you so much! You are so sweet. And that’s too funny about the bugs! I feel you on that! Out there they live in here they die!

You are welcome. You are going to make a huge difference! ♥️♥️♥️
💗💗💗 Merry Christmas Amy and family! May the New Year be safe, healthy and JOYFUL!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Your volgs have been great . Merry Christmas 😊
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too!
Woohoo! I’m the hippo collector-thanks for the info- I’ll start my search right now 😁
I’m so glad to share the hippo fabric love!😊♥️
I skipped the creepy crawly things because I am eating lunch. 😂. I might check it out another time. Happy Holidays. Thank you.
You're right, it's probably not the best to watch while you're eating! 😊♥️.
My gosh, such vibrant fabrics! I like spiders, especially the webs. I had a friend who would freak out. But lets go back to the pecan store! Marion

The creepy crawlers don’t scare me unless they are in my house!!! ❤ I always look at patterns like recipes, you change according to your taste!❤
Exactly - to all of it!
What a great way to look at it. Like a recipe. Some people just can’t work without exacting directions.
Love ur smile! U always make me happy❤. Thank u
You are so kind thank you!!😊
Spiders were ok, but the cave drawings, wow!!
Girl. You are singing my song with the flexibility issue! That is exactly the way I work.
I know on this cave drawings Oh my goodness. I bought the book!
I need sun also!!! I’m a scrappy quilter. And I have a huge amount of selvages. Do you have any ideas for them?
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too!
Did I miss the name of the pattern you are making with your scraps?
It’s More have by Villa Tosa Designs. I meant to link it - I’ll do that now. 😊♥️
The museum was great
♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for the spider warning...
Of course! That seemed the only humane thing to do 😊♥️
I grew up in San Antonio and they call the museum. Witt-ee. It is a great museum. Nice exhibit i love your content. FYI. The Idiot Wuilter mentioned you in a recent vlog. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Oh thank you so much! I meant to ask the desk agent but forgot. Also thanks the the heads up about Steven. He always makes me laugh!
Do you remember in which video Steven mentioned me? I’m behind on his content right now
I can tolerate spiders but NO slithering reptiles. Can't even look at them on TV/videos.
I love scrap quilts.
♥️♥️♥️
Why is the camera so close to your face???
It's a beautiful face so why not?
I was just sitting in a weird place. It’s my vlogging camera.
