    I loved your phrase, " Controlled hoarding." I retire next year and have enough stash to last until I am 100.

    Jean, I have not yet finished listening to this video as I have been here and there with painting our laundry room before new washing machine arrives sometime next week, I hope. But, another sad news came about the shooting in Hamburg, so I responded to that video ahead of this tutorial. It was so refreshing to watch this tutorial which was needed after a very hectic day preparing the laundry room for a new coat of paint. Thank you Jean, thinking of you and families. Love & hugs, Thelma

    bye the way, My husband, although we are retired is literally a Carpenter and was a superintendent on many construction jobs. Despite having a degree from UC Berkeley in CA he preferred being outdoors. You guys are Awesome and I am so happy you have ended on your feet. Family is sooo important!

    Jean, I’m sorry I didn’t get to tell you sooner but it was a busy day. Liz at MSQC did a video on a wallhanging size carpenter’s square today! How ironic everybody is doing this pattern this week! She also talks about doing it in 3 different sizes with precuts. I’ll try to find the link and post it. 🌷🤗

We’re fortunate up here in Redding, haven’t had too many problems like other places in the state. Our house is on the higher side of town, I’ve always been paranoid of living below Shasta dam so I picked a place that is supposed to be safer. Ya never know though 🫣

I’ve promised myself that I’m not buying anymore fabric. I’ve got my own quilt store in my craft room. Just hope I can find a bunch of fabrics that will all look good together. I love yours.

Looking forward to watching your quilt come together. Thank you for taking all the time and trouble to make these for us, they are very appreciated.

      As I was telling another person, I had made some lovely clear vinyl project bags with zippers and handles in our last home, (the house that was flooded) and now, in the melee that followed, I can't find them:) So zip lock baggies it is:) Thanks Molly::)

    Really good hints to keep cut pieces organized. I waste time re-measuring strips that I have cut the day before and I would not be able to tell at a glance whether a square was 6 1/2 or 7 inches !

    Hi Jean, thanks for sharing this tutorial with us, I have just finished an Inman Park quilt which turned out really large so I am looking for a smaller pattern now and I think this will do just fine. Not too difficult but looks great. As usual I will keep your tutorials together so I can follow them at my own speed, take care 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Hi Jean! First off, Cynthia's quilt is just stunning 🥰🥰 The wispy lines where the butterflies & dragonflies are just make it look like trails of their flight pattern! If that makes sense 🤣🤣 The fabric you picked for the Carpenter's Star is gorgeous. And that newspaper print-oh my, for $2/yd, I would have bought the whole bolt, too!!! I can't wait to see it come together! I know you prefer the "2 ruler method" for cutting, but noticed your long ruler with the cutter-isn't it 6 1/2" wide? You could have just lined up the edge of the ruler to the left of your fabric & cut. I'm right-handed, too, but tend to put the length of my fabrics to my right & move across my mat from the left to the right to make my cuts. If they're smaller than my 5" wide ruler, I use the ruler to measure & not my cutting mat. I know everyone does it differently, that's just how I do it.

      Teddy, I'm going to reply to ALL of my comments for this video, but saw this one first and thought I'd acknowledge and thank you. We didn't see the horrible news....but looked it up as I read your comment. Oh my word. Our dear brothers and sisters at the Kingdom Hall.....we live in such a wicked world. I thought of Ecclesiastes 9: 11 where it says..."........because time and unexpected events overtake them all". We most probably don't share the same scriptural believes, but through OUR bible studies, we can be assured that our dear ones who have lost their lives, are now just sleeping in death, soon to be awakened in a glorious resurrection here on a cleansed paradise earth. Not so far fetched when we think that that hope was the Original purpose that our Kind heavenly Father, Jehovah, intended for mankind from the very beginning. Again, I thank you for bringing this news, albeit, very very sad, to my attention. Be safe!

Thanks for taking time to watch me:) Ian is from Edmonton, but we moved to Norwich (Brooke to be exact)! Lovely area:) He remembers as a child, 'winkle ~ ing'!!! lOL!
