“All hands on deck”. Lace knitting! So great😀
Such a happy podcast, THANK YOU! That shawl is AMAZING--Oh and such lovely quilts!!!! I have made 4 small quilts and decided I didn't want to sign them. I don't sign my knitting, so I felt I would send my gift quilts out into the world without verbiage (except in a card). I am looking forward to the 24 Birds MKAL. Thanks for sharing both your knitting and quilting!!!
My grandmother's name was Daisy, and she embroidered a daisy on every quilt she made and embroidered her last name under the daisy. It was kitschy cool before kitschy was cool 😎 ❤❤❤
That is the coolest and sweetest thing!! Talk about a trademark 🌼💖
Love love those quilts ❤
Those are fantastic baby quilts! On the topic of the fat-quarter-dryer-tangle, my quilting instructor advised to cut the frayed fabric ‘strings’ after the wash but before the dryer … because even if they are already tangled, it gets worse in the dryer! I found this helps A LOT (at least for me it did!)
As an aunt helping her sister find a mysterious knitter who knitted a beautiful cardigan for my baby nephew, I would recommend signing your blankets in case in 30 years your cousin's children forget who made them those beautiful quilts!
When I sign a quilt, I applique a square for the back and sign it "made with love (and my name)." Very cute quilts and lovely shawl.
I love that idea, Tricia. So simple 🤗Thank you!
The shawl is stunning! I just love the baby quilts
why am I a grown adult woman and desperately want a quilt exactly like ones made for two baby boys lol I am just so in love with the aesthetic of those you KILLED it!
Embroider a square and stitch it to the blanket after.
Love the quilts and know they will be loved. Consider putting date with your initials. More detailed signature can certainly be added later. Knowing the year and initials is helpful to know who made it as time passes so quickly.
Your Carillon Shawl looks stunning!
Thank youuu!!
loooove flannel for the back of a a quilt/comforter--less slipping & sliding while you're sleeping, esp if paired with flannel sheets. :-) also love those fabrics and the big, bold blocks in the quilt!
Ahh! YES! I didn't think of how flannel can prevent the slipping/sliding of blanket layers. The quilt I used during warmer weather would always do this... 😆
Your shawl is breath-taking!
Thank you so much! 💖
My mom has been quilting for forever. She prewashes all her fabric and surges around the edges of fat quarters so they don’t fray and get tangled up together. It’s an additional step for sure, and probably one I would skip if I sewed at all, but she’s a lot more methodical than I am, lol. 😊
Hah, yes! I've heard that it's good to serge the edges of the fabric before pre-washing but, on 32 fat quarters?? I'll take the wad of thread, please! 😂
I really enjoy the look of your yarn cubby, with the X dividers and the pretty designed bins . You can see the contents , yet it’s pleasing to look at 🥰🧶💫. Gorgeous Shawl too !😊
I missed last sat. but I'm excited for this mkal. I just finished half moon oracle (need to block but will post pics soon). Thanks for your video!
Carillon shawl is absolutely beautiful. Even the mistakes are beautiful. Amazing quilting 🪡🩵
Your shawl is absolutely beautiful!! The two gift quilts are adorable and will be loved and snuggled!! I can't wait to see your Oslo hat finished!!
Have you ever done a one block wonder/kaleidoscope quilt?
I've made the Kensington Kaleidoscope quilt but not a one-block wonder. I will have to check it out!
🍀
I only washed fabrics before sewing one time many years ago and I know what your talking about. Someone told me to avoid this mess, to cut a small triangle off of each corner before washing. Since I don't prewash fabric, I never tried that so I can't vouch for whether that does anything to help the situation. Love your shawl and the quilts are adorable.
Oh, that is a fantastic tip, Joanne. Thank you for sharing! If/when I decide to pre-wash fabric again, I'll have to give it a try and report back. But I don't see that happening any time soon. 😂
The shawl was beautiful.....I've been seeing the MKAL all day and now I've gone to check it out, your all sold out!! Oh well, next time!! Do you post to the UK by chance!??! Otherwise I will have to share along the mystery by watching your UA-cam channel!! Have a lovely weekend, another lovely video!!xxx
Thank you! Yes!! The MKAL has been getting such a great response and the kits sold out within 3 minutes! 🤯 I do ship to the UK (please see my shipping policies on my website regarding international customs fees/taxes) I hope you're able to snag a kit in the next update 💖
It’s always a pleasure to see you. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide.😊
Thank you, Diana. I'm so glad you're here! 🤗
Those quilts!! 😍
That shawl ❤ amazing. Always beautiful knitting. I love those quilts. I hope your cousin loves them. Definitely sign Made with Love Kristin. I think she should make a tag so you can see them on with your name. Machine washable of course 😂 pre washed. 😂. Again beautiful ❤. Congrats on the yarn kits and being apart of Helen’s MKAL those colors look so beautiful together ❤
Thanks so much, Drea! 💖 Hah, yes, always washable and pre-washed! 😂
My grandmother always placed the year made with signature, very helpful over time, of course all beautifully hand stitches using quilt frame. Love your choice of blocks
😊
What a great and simple way to sign a quilt - Heirlooms, for sure! 💖🙌
As always, loved your video, Kristin. I plan to check out Helen Stewart's patterns after seeing your completed shawl. Like you, I have way too many WIPs, but I am easily distracted by the next shiny thing. Currently, I am making healing shawls for Greenwich Hospital, and sewing lap quilts for a local nursing home, but I do manage to sometimes actually complete a project for myself! So it's fun to be a multi-crafter. As for the quilts, I would label the backs with the child's name and the date that it was gifted. Your name should be there as well.
Your shawl is absolutely gorgeous! So sad I missed the shop update for the Helen Steward mystery kit. Hopefully, you will be making more 🤞🙂
Oooh a mystery knit along that I’m actually curious and excited about! Your colors are stunners as always 😊
Yessss!!! Join us!!! Helen's MKALs never disappoint 😄
I have changed my idea for a project for the Epic MAL, well maybe not changed but added a second project I wanna do for it? and do that project first? lol anyway I'm going to be ordering yarn soon for the Roger Set and knitting a full top/pants matching set because I think that's pretty epic. Is this me procrastinating on learning how to do brioche to do the sweater I was originally going to do? Maybe! lol but I'm in grad school and don't have the mental energy to learn a whole new knitting thing right now so head to toe set it is and hopefully when I graduate later this year I'll celebrate more mental energy by doing that sweater! (hope this was interesting to read guess I felt like going on a rant about project plans in your comments section lol)
Your yarn colourways are stunning. I love them so much! And the baby quilts are adorable. Lots of visual interest for the little ones 😊 I just finished a baby quilt today for my nephew’s wee girl and I’m almost finished another baby quilt for my niece’s baby who will be born in April. Both are made with Kaffe Fassett fabrics in traditional quilt block arrangements. Having a bit of a wobble about my choices now because they look nothing like everyone else’s baby quilts lol 😬🙊
Aww, your baby quilts sound beautiful and totally unique, Heather! I bet your niece and nephew's kiddos are going to LOVE the colors!
@@Voolenvine ❤️
stunning shawl, being lace.
Sign your quilt, be sure to add name and date.
Beautiful shawl and quilts. I am also at the join the brim stage of my Oslo Hat. I, with trepidation, washed and loosely blocked an Oslo hat for a gift, hoping it does not expand much so it will fit tightly.
Oof, yeah, that's always a gamble with superwash. But if you used 100% wool, you should be OK! 😄
@@Voolenvine Unfortunately it is super wash and it did expand.
Just started the video and am already in love with your shirt, there's something kind of magical in black lace. do you have a link to where you got it?
Thank you so much! It's actually a dress by Free People and scored it second hand on ThredUp.com a few years ago. One of my favorite finds! 🤗🖤
Kristen where did you get that shirt??? It’s so pretty I want one!
Thank you so much! It's actually a dress by Free People and scored it second-hand on ThredUp.com a few years ago. One of my favorite finds! 🤗🖤
if you zig zag stitch the edges of each fat quarter, you don't get the rat king of fat quarters in the laundry :) I would label them with just "made by _____" and the date.
Are you not supposed to zigzag or long stitch around raw edges before washing, or maybe a little fray check on the corners? I know , I never wash raw edges without doing something! And I’m so glad you use cotton batting in your quilts!
I've heard of this method but 32 fat quarters ... oh, honey, I ain't got time! 😂😂😂🤪
In Honour of becoming Brothers in 2024, love Cousin Kristin
hi Kristein, I can't believe it but I live in London and Imade a baby quilt from the same pack!! Ill send pics on insta
Get OUT!! Ah, cannot wait to see it. 😍
