Welcome to Aunt Debbie's Boutique
Each video with highlight a simple project, with me showing you step by step how to cut it out and construct it. Simple techniques that don't cause frustration.
All you need is a sewing machine you can operate, a pair of fabric scissors, sewing pins, a seam ripper, and an iron. A cutting mat, rulers and rotary cutters are an added bonus. We will address fabric, thread and needles in each video.
Patterns are child friendly but children always should be supervised when sewing.
I am a single mom in W. Texas with a 30 yr old daughter who has had a passion for sewing since I was 10 years old. I also have numerous nieces and nephews and have sewn for them since they were born and that is where my brand of Aunt Debbie's Boutique comes from. I have spent most of my adult life teaching sewing classes to kids and adults. This channel is dedicated to passing these patterns and skills to a larger audience in a much more user friendly format. You can watch these videos at your convience rather than have to choose between going to your sewing class or your kids soccer game.
Let's get to sewing!

Aunt Debbie please do not apologize for being tired or making mistakes. We all make mistakes! Lord only knows I make way more than my share 😊. Your quilt is amazing and so beautiful. Be proud of your work, it’s lovely. ❤❤
Thank you so much
After all that you went through lately, I'm thinking that you're doing very well. All of those unexpected things that happened can easily mess with our thinking processes. Take care of yourself and relax as much as possible.
I love #3 also!!
That’s a beautiful quilt. I appreciate that you shared with us the mistake in piecing a couple of blocks as It makes the process more real.
I didn’t realize how many mistakes I make until I started recording. I’m so used to fixing them & moving on that they don’t count in my head. But when the whole world is watching, it feels like they are monumental!
Option 3 looks awesome. Good choice! Aunt Debbie, do not apologize, this was so much work already. So thankful for the tutorial!
Thank you for your encouragement!
So, so lovely. Your sewing is beautiful and the varieties of blue sparkle.
I spotted the flipped units and have so much empathy for your tired sewing issues.
Thank you. We all have our days, don’t we!
Your errors were what puts us at ease! We're all human. I like option 3 as well. Thanks so much!
Well I seem to become extra human when the camera turns on. Thanks for your encouragement!
My favorite is #3 also. Thank you for showing us how to make this beautiful block.
You are so welcome! No 3 has been unanimous so far.
This is my first time watching your video. I love that you didn’t delete your mistakes, we have all been there.
Jacob’s Ladder has been on my quilt list for a few years. I have all the fat quarters in orangy/yellows, dark browns and blacks.
God bless you.
If I deleted my mistakes, there wouldn’t be much left. I bet your quilt will be beautiful!
Thanks for your video! I liked option 3 also. I really like blue and white. The fabric you did the demo on was my favorite.
Mine too! That’s why I saved it for demo. I find myself picking out blue fabric all the time and have to make myself use a variety.
3 was my favorite. This is going to be my new Christmas quilt. Of course it will be red and white!
That would be gorgeous ! It would also look good kind of scrappy with various Christmas prints. I might have to try a Christmas quilt if I can find the time!
I love your videos. You take time to give full explanations and leave the examples on the screen long enough for me to study them. I love that you include your mistakes in the videos showing us what not to do.
The mistakes come naturally!! Thank you for your encouragement! I love to teach.
Please don’t apologise, we ALL have days when nothing seems to go right! At least you persevered, I would have crawled into bed and pulled the covers over my head!
Nothing like having bad hair days in front of a large audience. Seems like when I turn the camera on, it all goes downhill fast! But thanks!
I love the colors and layout you used. Very pretty!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! You made a lovely quilt. Thank you for showing us ❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you for your comments!
Your mistakes make you human! It’s so much more relatable, when you realize you’re not the only one that has to go back and fix a block after it’s all together…😂😂😂
I love the chandelier quilt pattern.
I’d be shocked if I never made a mistake when sewing!!! I,appreciate yiu showing us what happened and how to fix it. I love thst blue fabric - I’m still working on collecting whites with different designs.
Well I promise to continue to be human and relatable! It won’t take any effort. Lol! The chandelier quilt will be my next one as I’ve already started cutting it out.
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 😂😂💕
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 I look forward to seeing it! It’s definitely one of those quilts I want to make, but haven’t gotten around to, yet! Maybe I’ll make one soon. I was just gifted a beautiful fat quarter bundle. That might be something I can use it for.
Yes, it takes 7 fat quarters and you only use about 2/3 of each. (But each fat quarter makes 6 blocks so you could use more if you had that many. )I’m wondering if I can use the leftovers for a border and will graph it out to see. It also takes 3 yds of background fabric. I will post all the details when I post the video.
I really like that pattern and downloaded your instructions so thank you. I've never made a quilt without some mistakes. God Bless
God bless you too.
Your quilt is beautiful! We all make mistakes we learned from them you’re making making mistakes teaches us and I’m grateful for it.
Thanks for sharing the video with us!
Please get rest! In Jesus name amen! 😃🙏🏾
God bless you!
just signed up for your show, I enjoyed it. It is real. And . Sweet fur baby.
Thank you. Love my fur babies and welcome!
Number 3is the nicest Jacobs ladder I’ve seen thanks
Thank you!
I am glad you are back! I'm sorry you had to endure the flooding from the water heater, and being sick!
Thank you. It’s all behind me now.
Beautiful quilt and beautiful dog!!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing. Blue is my favorite color. I certainly am going to make this one in option three.❤❤❤
You’re welcome 😊 I gravitate to blues all the time and have to make myself use other colors.
Take that extra block and make a pillow with it. This is the first of your videos that I have seen , and I am looking forward 😀 to watching more. I like option three.😊❤
Thank you!
LOVE the first and third layout, the colours you have chosen are perfect - so crisp and clean 🤗 When I make mine, if I am not able to decide in the final layout then I will make the pattern twice! BTW, your nails are gorgeous😍
Now that’s a plan! Two totally different quilts with one easy block. And thanks for the nail comment. I was blessed with thick tough ones!
This is BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you so much
Beautiful quilt Debbie...really enjoyed your time ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
I just found your videos yesterday. I love your channel. Good Lord you've had a bad week. I hope your better.
Thank you. I am!
Beautiful work. Option 3 is my favorite. I just found your channel and subscribed.
Thank you! Welcome. Option 3 seems to be everyone’s favorite so far.
That looks so beautiful on your dining room table. I like your first option.
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful quilt, mistakes happen. I have had my fair share of mistakes. Looking forward to seeing your next quilt. I just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you so much! Welcome!
Yep! I prefer the *option* you selected. Love this block! Thank you!
Yay, thank you!
Poor thing. We all have days like that!! Sounds like you have had a time the past 2 weeks. Hopefully you are resting and not stressed.
Life is much better now. Just a bad week. Thanks!
Beautiful love two colour quilts
Me too! Thank you!
So sorry for your troubles lately. I understand! Truth, never sew when you are tired. Give yourself a break. I appreciate you showed the boo boo. Ypu sure make me feel better, as I have the same oopsies. Rest up, and see you next time!
Thank you so much! I feeling better now!
Bloc loc rulers are very expensive. Just a hint if it’s not in your budget these days. Take 3-4 layers of painters tape, precisely lay it right next to the 45 degree line on your 6” square ruler….WALA you have a bloc loc ruler. I use this all of the time when squaring my HST’S. I this hope this hack helps someone. Happy quilting everyone❣️. Thanks for the Video!
Someone else suggested this too and I wish I had known it before I ordered one. Next time I ask about something, I need to wait for the responses before I act! Thanks.
Great ironing tip for half square triangles !! Love your teaching style and love this beautiful quilt ! Thank you for sharing 🙏
You are so welcome! Thank you for tuning in!
My husband and I both picked the way you did it! It’s so pretty!
I’m so glad that it seems to be the one everyone liked. A quilt will speak to you when you lay it out.
Making quilts is supposed to be enjoyable and relaxing. Don't apologize for taking the time you need to make them. Enjoy the process 😊
Thank you so much!
Hope things get better. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you. Hopefully the worse is behind me.
Bless you ❤ your hands are lovely.
😊 thank you
This is a beautiful quilt! I love the third choice that you picked out. Thanks for the cutting instructions for the fat quarters too! 🪡 I was also impressed with how fast you threaded your needle with such long nails! 💅😄
Lol! I’ve had lots of experience threading needles! Thank you for your kind comments!
I really like this quilt. thank you
You are so welcome!
Your ideo is wonderful. Thank you!!
Thank you!
All gorgeous blocks, I love the orientation you chose 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Very nice and easy.very well explained.thankyou so much.
Thank you!
I just love your way of helping me understand quilting!! You’re the second person that I’ve watched that is genuine and real, if you know what I mean. The other person is a quilting giant, her name is Eleanor Burns of “quilt in a day”. Your style is very caring and willing to share your knowledge, you’re an amazing woman! Keep it up!
Thank you so much. I love sharing my passion!
I like all the options, but I agree with your choice! It is very beautiful! Get some rest! It sounds like you did enough in two weeks that many of us do in two months! I will be looking forward to your next tutorial!
Thank you! Will do! God bless you.
I am a beginner and you are quite reassuring to me - thank you so much 😊
I'm so glad! Hang in there. It’s gets easier & easier…and more addictive!
So pretty. I love the blues 💙. I like option 1 or 3 the best. I love you chose 3 option, it is so pretty ❤
Thank you! 🤗
I love that quilt and I would choose option 3 as well!❤
Great! We’re in the majority!
Those. Lock lock rulers are great. Get ya one.
I will!
I also like option 3 the best. This is a great pattern because of all the variations a person can make of it. Thanks.
Glad you like it! Thanks.
Definitely option 3! Gorgeous 😍
Great minds think alike!
They aren't mistakes! They are personal design enhancements. 👏
Thank you. I like that!
I like option 3 also! Great block - thank you for sharing!
Thank you for voting and commenting!
The BlocLock is great but you can DIY it: position a couple layers of masking tape diagonally across your ruler. Trim your HSTs before you iron them open; you’ll only need to trim two sides instead of all four.
What a great idea! Never thought of that but it’s obviously easy. Thanks!
# 3 is my favorite. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for your vote!
Love your color selection.🎉
Thank you. I always Leah towards blue in quilts. I have to make myself use other colors first variety
I love my Bloc Loc rulers!! They were a game changer for me.
I have one on the way. Can’t wait to try it!
@auntdebbiesboutique1223 I've got both of the small square sets, and one of the half-rectangle ones as well. They are so easy to use, at least for how my brain works, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts!!
I love that…”Oh, darn” ❤
Don’t we all love a good excuse to go fabric shopping! 😀
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 For sure!!!
I think option 3 is the traditional design of the Jacobs ladder, which is my favorite layout. I love the all blue and white. I did an Ohio Star in blues and whites a few years back. We all make mistakes, especially when we're tired. Try and take care of yourself. I enjoyed your video.
Thank you. I love blue & white too and always gravitate to those fabrics.
We are all human! You are running on fumes…. Rest and take care of yourself.❤
God bless you.
I liked option 2 & 3, but 3 was my favorite.
Good. Me too!
Love seeing you working with a block being a little short. My tendency is to pull both edges together. I see you working with it ao I'll give a try without stretching the fabric so much. 😊
I always have some short blocks. If they are too short, I’ll double stitch them for extra hold.
I love pattern # 2, but I will keep the darker in the middle square around & the lighter for the next outer square, then back to the darker on the outside square. ❤ Can't wait to start ... TY
So glad you found an option you want to make. There is no bad choice!
Like option 3 the best, but also number 1, beautiful!!😊
Thanks for voting. Option 1 was my second choice too.
That is a beautiful quilt
Thank you so much!
Option #1 , it’s how I picture a ladder.
I like that one too and you are right. It does remind me of a ladder! Thanks for your vote!
Really nice
Thank you!
The BlocLoc for HST is fabulous - a bit on the pricey side but worth it! I have several along with many other rulers😲😲
Good to know! We can never have too many rulers!! Thanks.
I’m a fan of number three as well, but you could probably play around with this one for a little while. I love quilts that create a chain pattern. I think I’m going to make this one. I have some fabric that I’ve been trying to figure out what to make with it and I think this might be it.
Wonderful! I do like all the many options and I just showed a few of them.
i love your layout
Thank you!
Love it!!!
Thanks!
I love option 3 also beautiful
Great minds think alike! Thanks for voting!
I also would have chosen option 3. I was tickled to see your golden in the shadows of the table.
She is my shadow. Never far from sight. Also have a Yorkie that is equally underfoot. But love them dearly!
I know this video came out a little while ago but I'm loving your #3 option.
Great! That’s the majority opinion. Thanks for voting!
I like the layout you used
Thanks!
Timely ! Ijust found a circa 1920 top in my stash ! Its set like #1 I like #3 better ! Mine could be quilted as is with a binding, which is what they would've done. Now , since its mine , I may take it apart and re set it . 🤔🎉
How cool! What an awesome thing to have in your stash!
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 I just looked at it again! It's 7×7.5 blocks . It's alternating diagonal blocks of light and dark. The center block is a black with a very thin contrast. I'm goto have to replace it with same era fabric. I know the iron mordant will destroy the black fabric and the light one will probably tear ! Good thing I collected salvage tops for repairs! Other than that it's OK! I'd rather deal with it now than after quilting! Gauzy or rotten fabric is the #1 problem with these darlings ! #2 is no contrast ! I have a top of 6 Inch 9patches it needs a sashing ! Hand done, of course ! 😆
I liked pattern 3 best 😊
Good choice. Thanks for voting.
I like option 3 as well Thank you.
Good choice! Thanks.
I love 3 and 4❤
I love the versatility of this block. Those 2 options look like totally different quilts.
Leave mistakes in as a good point on what to watch for. I like options 1 and 3. Versatile block with all these options, could look good even in a scrappy version
I think scrappy would be great. It would give it lots of interesting character.
Thanks
You’re welcome!
Love option 3
Great minds think alike.
I like 3 also it seemed to flow best.😊
I agree and it’s the majority choice.
I like option 4 but they are all awesome❤
There is no bad choice. Thanks for voting!
I like option 3 also...thank you
Thank you. It seems to be the favorite.
I love option #3
Thanks you. It’s definitely the favorite. Thanks for your vote.
I really liked option three as well
Great. Thanks for your vote!
I love option 3
Thanks. It’s definitely the favorite
The only option I didn’t like was 2, but my favorite was 3, then 4 and then 1 ❤
Thanks for voting. #3 is the most liked and then the others are a mixed bag. It just shows that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and there are no bad choices.
I like 2 and 3,, thanks
Thanks for voting. Good choices!
option 3 is my favorite choice also
Thanks. It seems to be the majority vote.
We learn from our mistakes, at least I sure do and get my drift, I have learned a lot.lol
Me too!! The only people that don’t make mistakes, don’t do anything. I have a large learning curve! Thanks.
Please don’t worry about my Dropbox comment - I did a “fix” - I use an iPad which could have been the situation? Don’t know - but I just took screen shots, used the iPad to resize the important parts of each picture, saved and then printed the pictures out. I also just did the same with your drawing - very easy to get what you were after😁😁😁. And yes, I like to have printouts as a reference🫢🫢😁😁😁
I’m glad you found a fix but I will still have someone look into it. I wish UA-cam would let me post pictures in the comments that you could download and Etsy makes me charge for anything I post there. I will continue to look for other easier options. I need a paper copy too so I totally get it!!
Option 1 was my favorite
I think that was my second favorite. Thank you for commenting that. I might do another one someday and try it.
Don’t get so down on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes.😊
Some days just seem worse than others but thanks!
Option 3 was my favorite
Thank you so much for voting.
Bwau5quilt! Option 3 was my choice too!
Thank you!
Just subscribed
Thank you very much!
Some quilters purposely make an error (flipped block/color mismatch) when assembling their quilt tops.
The reasoning is only God is perfect.As for myself, I'm easily imperfect without making the effort...lol
Love the blues as well as Jacob's Ladder. 🍄🍄
Me too! I don’t have to purposely make mistakes, they come easily! Thanks.
