    These videos with your waving hands and the table bring me back to Maine. I loved those videos watching you make fabric from scraps and strings :) You've given me many years of inspiration on top of all the laughs

    Darlene, I watch pretty much all of your videos. I wish I could live near you and hang out sometime. I am in Alaska and have lots of fun repeating the methods you show all of us out here in Internetland … Thank you for all your tips and videos. We are all grateful.

    I save all my shreds for a lady who always makes a pillow with every quilt and/or uses them for the cutest teddy bear donated to the pediatric ward for the pets patients. I keep them in large baggies for her to pick up. No fabric goes in the trash. 😅😊

    I've always loved quilts but never thought I had the patience or ability for the perfection of the quilts I was seeing. You showed me that imperfect and wonky is a goal!! I can achieve that and love my scrappy projects no matter if it is fabric or crocheting. Thanks for showing me this world.

    • @719mystee
      @719mystee 2 місяці тому

      Watching Darlene helped me realize it doesn't have to be perfect according to the rules or quilting police, if you like it and it fits together, you made it, so it's great!

  • @lbond2349
    @lbond2349 6 місяців тому +4

    Fantastic! It is so amazing to see the blocks transform from a mess to perfection when you trim the excess. Those 3 blocks are so pretty.

  • @jenelks1495
    @jenelks1495 6 місяців тому +2

    Loving the look of this! I think every now and then it's good to just sit and be creative, instead of following a pattern! These are beautiful!! 🎉❤ Oooh for those with decorative stitches on their machines, this would be a great block to use those on with a variegated thread or different colors of thread!

    I really like the looks of these blocks, however, just wondering how well the quilts would hold up in the wash. I think I may sew a bit more on them. I like the threads at the end, finishes the blocks up so nicely.

    • @darlene.michaud
      @darlene.michaud  6 місяців тому +6

      These are not good for quilts. Way too stiff. They are good for tote bags, baskets, journal covers, wall art, stuff like that.

    Big Question Darlene: When cutting your bolts of fabric, do you use electric scissors or electric rotary cutters? My hands and thumb around where I hold the scissors get awfully sore.

    • @darlene.michaud

      Nothing electric. Plain old rotary cutter and some very old scissors.

    Oh Darlene, I went to the Salvation Army and purchased all of their wedding gowns and prom dresses and cut them all up to use on quilts. I bought 75 of them and all it cost me was $125.00. I plan on putting the silk and satin around some of the squares as an embellishment. What do you think ?
