Anna, thank you for sharing your videos. I watch them when having coffee in the morning and it is great start to my day. Especially the videos with Jen Kingwell. Wonderful.
Couldn 't agree with Coleen more, your videos are so entertaining and soothing, a balm in stressing times. You have such a good natured way about you, so natural ... an absolute pleasure, many thanks!
Enjoyed your video. Your camping trip looked wonderful. And the butterfly - amazing. Matter-of-fact, I’m in my trailer at Bodega Bay, CA watching your video. The fog came in this evening, so too cold for a fire tonight! Thanks for sharing!
Really liked this video about hand piecing ♥ It is relaxing and a great way to live in the moment. The hot springs look like a super spot to camp for a few days with G and your hand stitching project :) Looking forward to your next video. I agree 100% what Carola had to say!!! Jen Kingwell's book looks wonderful...lots of fun! I really like her pattern My Small World!! Thank you soooooo much for all of your videos, Anna and G. You are ALWAYS so much fun to watch!! Really enjoyed the music too ♥
Anna, I have to tell you.......when I'm all strung out and stressed, your voice and videos are so calming. Helps me escape. You're such a calming influence. Love ya, Sweetie. 😘❤️
How I miss Sisters, OR everytime I turn on your vlog!! But, I so enjoy your downhome comfort I feel I am called to watch. And, happy I am. I also love your clamshell quilt. I should start one just to hand quilt in the evenings while we are watching t.v. I also, very much envy that view of the street you have out your window. And, I do miss listening to those frogs when I was a young girl living in Seattle with the big water tower in our back yard!! Memories!! Also, by the way, I think you keep your quilt room very neat!! I love it very much. Thank you for having us to your home most weeks when you then have us to your home-on-the-road!! Peace and blessings, Vicki
I understand your longing...I have a small wall hanging by Valori Wells in my dining room because it reminds me of the acres of vegetable fields when I was growing up...the dew on the lettuce was like jewels. Thank you for hanging out with me 😀
Anna, thank you for sharing. Oh, I got that iron. I had the other one with 2 pointed ends but the steam wasn't very good. So I gifted that to a fellow stitcher along with some other extras. This one has steam! I adore it. I'm like you, need lots of steam. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Pea
Loved visiting you again Anna ...I feel like I’m really there with you and actually find myself nodding to you 😂. Yahoooo for finding that book 😂🤣 love 💗😍 the pillow pattern....what a clever idea using a photo.. thank you for the amazing scenery shots 😘
Dear Anna, thank you for sharing a hand piecing project of manageable scope for viewers like me who haven’t ventured there yet. Hope you brought along the darling stitching pillow you made in another video. Congrats on finding your pattern book in time for your trip; have you considered taping a ziplock bag inside the book to hold your pattern pieces? P.S. The thumbnail for this video made you look like a cute mouse, when the head of a pin was at the end of your nose!
Hi Anna! I don’t think I have the patience for hand stitching actual fabric but I do hand stitching in other crafts. I love that you make a mistake and don’t edit it out of the video because believe me, I can relate lol. Love the peaceful scenes at Belknap, hubby liked that too! Take care, hope you have great travels ahead. 🏜🗺
I’m about three hours south of you....my bestest friend works at the little grocery shop there..it used to be next to a gift shop..that is no longer there..she worked at the gift shop too....a very sweet lady..her name is melody..if you ever get there..🌸🌼🌻🐝🐝🐝
The camp grounds are so beautiful , and peaceful , wish I were there .You were talking about your design wall , and awhile back you had a Halloween peice you made into a wall hanging , Would you know who's pattern that was ? Could that have been a Buttermilk basin pattern ? I just love that pattern !!!
I have that book but have not made any projects yet. Maybe when I finish a few of my UFO's! LOL. Beautiful serene scenery. Thank you for taking us along. See you in the next video.
Anna you are such a joy to watch. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I am just starting to quilt and hand piece. Could you please tell me the thread and needle you are using? Thank you so much!
Thank you! I use a hand Appliqué needle and usually use regular Cotton thread to match the fabric or sometimes I will use silk thread...also matching the fabric.
So fun to watch your videos...😊 I think your pincushion is a hedgehog..heehee.......you’re so lucky..frog sounds....I’m jealous..I don’t think I have brain capacity for hand stitching anymore..lol...when’s your birthday?...welcome to Medicare..heeheheee
I am wondering if a puzzle mat would work so you could roll it, (although it won't leave your prepared pieces completely flat) would work...maybe not, but since it's going to be a pillow, perhaps so...just thinking, although that can be dangerous...LOL.
Could you be any more chilled? You are adorable and not alone when it comes to misplacing things when you are working on a project! (I blame it on my kitty-of course you could ask Enzo if he knows anything-he looks so sweet and innocent just lying there on the floor of the bee-hive, but it could all be an act!! haha) You're not getting older but better and more experienced. The campsite is just beautiful and should relax you even more. Enjoy your quilting hauls and reviews of shops so much, but the scenery is great too. Have fun!
😂 I tell my husband when my Joann’s alerts go off that Joann’s such a loyal friend and doesn’t let me miss a sale. 😂🤣. I love you and your videos and have been binge watching. 😊❤️ Does your travels ever include traveling to Paducah Ky. for the AQS show? I usually get to go to that one. Hugs, Paige 😊
Welcome to the Medicare club! Joined that club last year! Lol! There are several Jen Kingwell patterns I like. Maybe next hand sewing project will be one of hers.
Another fun video Anna, you always keep it real! Do you take some locking stitches when you do a seam? I take one every four or five stitches when I hand piece. The Springs look lovely I'm sure you had a lovely time when you were there. Looking forward to your next video.
The first quilt class I took the teacher had us hand stitch everything . Both she and Sarah Fielke recommend doing them. Enjoy the clear air in Portland.
Hi Anna ~ I'm in love with the Bee wall quilt you have hanging on the door of the hive. Can you point me in the direction of the pattern. I'm a "bee" girl too!
Oh....I wish I could but my girlfriend Robin made it for me and she made it up...no pattern. I do know that she found the Bee on the internet and embroidered it...me...I need a pattern.
Hola!! Siempre me ha dado miedo cuando hay que coser curvas, pero ver como lo hace usted parece tan facil...... lo intentare. Siento que se haya cancelado la media maraton. Me encanta el entorno del campamento , que paz ....
You are a hoot Anna.....I want to be like you when I grow up....ha..actually I would love to meet you; hopefully someday as we pass thru Sisters on our way to and from the coast to our home in Colorado.
What is miler? I need it. Please lmk where you purchase it or how? I have been sewing 30 years and i have heard the word miler? But never new what it was.
I tried sewing curved pieces one time, my brain would not accept what my eyes were seeing. LOL It just looked wrong when pinning it together. Almost drove me crazy. LOL
I think we all put things up and then cant find them....lol i got a small little light that clamps to my machine....do you think I can find the plug? Nope....lol
I'm constantly searching for stuff and I hate it. I'm sorry it took me so long but I finally sent you a box...Just Bee-cause. It does show it was delivered today so I hope when you pick it up, you enjoy what I sent. "Your item has been delivered to an agent at 7:41 am on May 4, 2018"
OMG!!!! the postal service does not deliver to my home and so I have to pick up my mail in town which I do every so often...bad mama...anyhoo last night Wes texted me I had a package and I ran right down...OMG!!! You are sooo sweet and I had so much fun opening all the little packages which is documented for the next video :) by the way...you have gorgeous handwriting!...and I LOVED it all...was like Christmas in May!
I started out by crocheting the flowers but then decided to add a few things. Then I took my dog for her chemo treatment and they had the wrist bands for a foster group they work with, if you donated and decided to send you a couple-can't leave G out for all the work he does on the videos. Enjoy them, we enjoy your videos.
Anna, thank you for sharing your videos. I watch them when having coffee in the morning and it is great start to my day. Especially the videos with Jen Kingwell. Wonderful.
ooooh a good cuppa and a quilt roadie...sounds like a great way to start the day!
Couldn 't agree with Coleen more, your videos are so entertaining and soothing, a balm in stressing times. You have such a good natured way about you, so natural ... an absolute pleasure, many thanks!
Awwww...thank you! I find in the world we live in today it is our girlfriends both personal and virtual that keep me moving on 😘
Enjoyed your video. Your camping trip looked wonderful. And the butterfly - amazing. Matter-of-fact, I’m in my trailer at Bodega Bay, CA watching your video. The fog came in this evening, so too cold for a fire tonight! Thanks for sharing!
nothings like a great camp fire on a cold foggy evening...grew up with that experience :)
Thank you for the video, so peaceful.... Anna your clam shell case will be beautiful!
Really liked this video about hand piecing ♥ It is relaxing and a great way to live in the moment. The hot springs look like a super spot to camp for a few days with G and your hand stitching project :) Looking forward to your next video. I agree 100% what Carola had to say!!!

You’re a Quilt Roadies ol friend and love when you stop by😀
Anna, I have to tell you.......when I'm all strung out and stressed, your voice and videos are so calming. Helps me escape. You're such a calming influence. Love ya, Sweetie. 😘❤️
AWWW...I love that and I love my virtual stitching friends :)
SAME HERE!
I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who can’t find things! It’s so frustrating! Love to watch your videos!
We are our own special club, lol
How I miss Sisters, OR everytime I turn on your vlog!! But, I so enjoy your downhome comfort I feel I am called to watch. And, happy I am. I also love your clamshell quilt.

I understand your longing...I have a small wall hanging by Valori Wells in my dining room because it reminds me of the acres of vegetable fields when I was growing up...the dew on the lettuce was like jewels. Thank you for hanging out with me 😀
Thanks for sharing this technique. It seems to call for patience 🤔. Love the Bee Hive❤️❤️
yes, patience by peaceful patience :)
Me too. Medicare in the fall. Love the music. Thanks!
Welcome....the transition for G has been a learning experience...I'll be with you in the Fall :)
Anna we do the same things almost lol. I’m hand piecing Lucy Carson Kingwell smitten and my small world is on my bucket list. Love your videos.
LOL...this month is my Small World class with Jen...maybe that will inspire you :)
This was calming and down to earth enjoyable ❤️ thank u for sharing
Anna, thank you for sharing. Oh, I got that iron. I had the other one with 2 pointed ends but the steam wasn't very good. So I gifted that to a fellow stitcher along with some other extras. This one has steam! I adore it. I'm like you, need lots of steam.

Blessings, Pea
ya know I have reached that time in my life that I just won't put up with stuff...glad you got steam! LOL
Quilt Roadies yep, im 54 and being a ginger naturally my tolerance is less. Lol
Thanks again
Loved visiting you again Anna ...I feel like I’m really there with you and actually find myself nodding to you 😂. Yahoooo for finding that book 😂🤣 love 💗😍 the pillow pattern....what a clever idea using a photo.. thank you for the amazing scenery shots 😘
Of course you do...we agree on everything! Lol. Thank you for hanging out with me 😀
I enjoy listening to you as I stitch.
Dear Anna, thank you for sharing a hand piecing project of manageable scope for viewers like me who haven’t ventured there yet. Hope you brought along the darling stitching pillow you made in another video. Congrats on finding your pattern book in time for your trip; have you considered taping a ziplock bag inside the book to hold your pattern pieces?
P.S. The thumbnail for this video made you look like a cute mouse, when the head of a pin was at the end of your nose!
OMG...what a great idea!!! G thought the thumb nail was hysterical!
Hi Anna! I don’t think I have the patience for hand stitching actual fabric but I do hand stitching in other crafts. I love that you make a mistake and don’t edit it out of the video because believe me, I can relate lol. Love the peaceful scenes at Belknap, hubby liked that too! Take care, hope you have great travels ahead. 🏜🗺
That is good to hear...cause we are all about reality, lol we had a wonderful time with our camping buddies!
tks for sharing the video was great....love the pig tails so cute.....can't wait for the next video....have a great time camping friend
Yeah I told my hair dresser that I need the piggies on camping trips and when I am in a stitching frenzy 😂
thats great.....they will come in handy when it's hot outside plus for your running.....so proud of you getting into running
The brain always remembers my running days and feels so happy😀
Oh..I forgot to say ...what a lovely camping place.....hope you had fun...
one of our favorites!
I’m about three hours south of you....my bestest friend works at the little grocery shop there..it used to be next to a gift shop..that is no longer there..she worked at the gift shop too....a very sweet lady..her name is melody..if you ever get there..🌸🌼🌻🐝🐝🐝
I love hand piecing. That's the way I started out my very first quilt was hand pieced an hand quilted
wow...hand pieced and hand quilted...you rock!!
I usually number my pieces with a sticker label, left to right, in the order I want them to go. Just a thought. Love to watch your videos!
I need your brain, lol
Thanks Anna, I love your attitude!! The hot springs are lovely!!!
just what we needed! G is still not a 100% back to his old self and so it was a nice break!
The camp grounds are so beautiful , and peaceful , wish I were there .You were talking about your design wall , and awhile back you had a Halloween peice you made into a wall hanging , Would you know who's pattern that was ? Could that have been a Buttermilk basin pattern ? I just love that pattern !!!
Halloween quilts are my favorite to make and I have made several...if you describe it in a bit more detail I can find out which designer created it 😀
I have that book but have not made any projects yet. Maybe when I finish a few of my UFO's! LOL. Beautiful serene scenery. Thank you for taking us along. See you in the next video.
sometimes a book is beautiful enough that you don't have to make anything in it, ROFLOL
I am doing an English Paper Pieced quilt and I absolutely LOVE hand stitching
I am going to do some more English paper piecing...love the look!
Anna you are such a joy to watch. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I am just starting to quilt and hand piece. Could you please tell me the thread and needle you are using? Thank you so much!
Thank you! I use a hand Appliqué needle and usually use regular Cotton thread to match the fabric or sometimes I will use silk thread...also matching the fabric.
In fact my very first quilt was all hand pieced and hand quilted for my granddaughter
So fun to watch your videos...😊 I think your pincushion is a hedgehog..heehee.......you’re so lucky..frog sounds....I’m jealous..I don’t think I have brain capacity for hand stitching anymore..lol...when’s your birthday?...welcome to Medicare..heeheheee
really...a hedgehog! Sweet!!! I'm an October baby...or should I see an October AARP member :)
Quilt Roadies me too..October 17th!...
I am wondering if a puzzle mat would work so you could roll it, (although it won't leave your prepared pieces completely flat) would work...maybe not, but since it's going to be a pillow, perhaps so...just thinking, although that can be dangerous...LOL.
I agree...to much thinking can lead to ...a new project...NOOOOOO
Could you be any more chilled? You are adorable and not alone when it comes to misplacing things when you are working on a project! (I blame it on my kitty-of course you could ask Enzo if he knows anything-he looks so sweet and innocent just lying there on the floor of the bee-hive, but it could all be an act!! haha) You're not getting older but better and more experienced. The campsite is just beautiful and should relax you even more. Enjoy your quilting hauls and reviews of shops so much, but the scenery is great too. Have fun!
hummmm....so Enzo might behind all my missing stuff!!!
Nice haircut, looking good. Half marathon? Good luck
I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND I MUST SAY I LOVE IT!
well I am happy you found me!!!
well I am happy you found me!!!
I found you because my daddy is dying of cancer so I’ve been watching your videos to keep my mind off this
hugs...i am glad you are being distracted...such a painful time :;(
😂 I tell my husband when my Joann’s alerts go off that Joann’s such a loyal friend and doesn’t let me miss a sale. 😂🤣. I love you and your videos and have been binge watching. 😊❤️ Does your travels ever include traveling to Paducah Ky. for the AQS show? I usually get to go to that one. Hugs, Paige 😊
Paducah is on my bucket list!!!
Welcome to the Medicare club! Joined that club last year! Lol! There are several Jen Kingwell patterns I like. Maybe next hand sewing project will be one of hers.
yeah...this year is my year to tip into the "elderly" chaos! LOL I am taking a class with her this month and can't wait!
Thanks. You makes me laugh💓 enjoy your trip. I can't wait next video.👋
Thank you for hanging out with me!
Quilt Roadies 💗💗💗
Finally found it !!! It's hanging on the wall in the Quilt Room Tour 2017 segment.
Hi guys tfs awesome and very interesting. Diana
Thanks for stopping by!
Another fun video Anna, you always keep it real! Do you take some locking stitches when you do a seam? I take one every four or five stitches when I hand piece.
The Springs look lovely I'm sure you had a lovely time when you were there. Looking forward to your next video.
not mid seam but maybe I should? do tell...The smoke is thick today and we are heading to clearer skies!
The first quilt class I took the teacher had us hand stitch everything . Both she and Sarah Fielke recommend doing them. Enjoy the clear air in Portland.
I do think it takes us back to our quilting roots :)
Hi Anna ~ I'm in love with the Bee wall quilt you have hanging on the door of the hive. Can you point me in the direction of the pattern. I'm a "bee" girl too!
Oh....I wish I could but my girlfriend Robin made it for me and she made it up...no pattern. I do know that she found the Bee on the internet and embroidered it...me...I need a pattern.
Also, have you seen Laura Heine's new Honey Bee collage quilt?? It's A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
I love to hand piece my quilts or other projects
I know the feeling I can't find my park bench book. Have the rulers and it is making me crazy.
I know...you put it somewhere safe 🤪
I have this book! I won it on Sew Sweetness! Great now inspired to add yet another project lol
Congratulations!!!
Hola!! Siempre me ha dado miedo cuando hay que coser curvas, pero ver como lo hace usted parece tan facil...... lo intentare.
Siento que se haya cancelado la media maraton.
Me encanta el entorno del campamento , que paz ....
sí, fue cancelado ... así que estoy salvado, ja ja. el empalme manual es muy relajante y fácil :)
You are a hoot Anna.....I want to be like you when I grow up....ha..actually I would love to meet you; hopefully someday as we pass thru Sisters on our way to and from the coast to our home in Colorado.
I would love that!!! you should make that trip during Quilt Show week...it's a party!
Anna, thank you for your video. When you started sewing the two sections together did you start 1/4 inch from the edge of the fabrics? Thank you.
I did not but I back stitch over the end to secure it...not sure I am doing it right but it is working, lol
Glad to know I’m not the only one who loses things in my 🐝 hive! Lol
OMG...I have regular brain farts!
I am half tempted to buy another, but saving my money for Sisters. I am sind up for you sit and stich on Friday yea!
un proyecto precioso .quiero hacerlo .el campamento un sitio para descansar bien bonito y relajante .saludos y un fuerte abrazo
Nada como coser en un lugar tan relajante :)
Finally found it. It's hanging on then wall in the Quilt Room Tour 2017 segment.
What is miler? I need it. Please lmk where you purchase it or how? I have been sewing 30 years and i have heard the word miler? But never new what it was.
Mylar...it is a plastic sheet that you can get at some quilt shops...love the stuff!
I tried sewing curved pieces one time, my brain would not accept what my eyes were seeing. LOL It just looked wrong when pinning it together. Almost drove me crazy. LOL
Paper piecing in my downfall...I waste so much fabric because I can't wrap my mind around it!
I have never tried paper piecing.
Some people love it....🤪
I, too, sign up for Medicare in the Fall. How can we be that age. :-)
I have NO clue!!
Wish I lived near you!!
you could move, lol
Thank you.
I think we all put things up and then cant find them....lol i got a small little light that clamps to my machine....do you think I can find the plug? Nope....lol
we must be related!
You’ll find your plug while you’re looking for something else. That just happened to me.
It would be great if the camera was showing what you are doing.
yeah...I need G for that and he isn't around all the time. You would think he would love to hang out in the Bee Hive LOL...we'll try better :)
Have you seen Yoko Saito on You tube she has a good lesson on hand quilting
Thanks! I need professional help 😂
I'm constantly searching for stuff and I hate it. I'm sorry it took me so long but I finally sent you a box...Just Bee-cause. It does show it was delivered today so I hope when you pick it up, you enjoy what I sent. "Your item has been delivered to an agent at 7:41 am on May 4, 2018"
OMG!!!! the postal service does not deliver to my home and so I have to pick up my mail in town which I do every so often...bad mama...anyhoo last night Wes texted me I had a package and I ran right down...OMG!!!

Do you recall the name of the Jan Kingwell book for the clamshells you were working on?
Quilt Lovely...a great book!
We're is the pattern from?
It is in Jen Kingwell’sbook Quilt Lovely 😊
Thank you!
Sorry. I just want to continue to follow you in the future and it takes a long time to get in shape to run one of those. Be safe please.
I am saved...the entire organization after 47 years cancelled this years race! Phewww....that was close, LOL
Hi Anna!
You are crazy.
I try, LOL
