I'm sure your quilting lesson was beneficial for many of your viewers. I could quilt but I don't. I might if I had gorgeous fabrics like yours. The film of your walk around your "patch" was lovely. You really have everything right near you - the sea, your garden, the farms, and the horses. And the birds! How I envy you your birds. Most of ours are gone and I fear it is the pesticides that cause it. Will look forward to your next film!
Dear Pene, thanks so much for sharing this. I'm learning to sew and really admire the work which goes into quilting - I never thought I would be able to do this but your very clear tutorial has given me the confidence to have a go. Thank you very much 😊 x
Oh I LOVED this post, I have made a few quilts but I gained so much from this, particularly placing the pins in the corners, makes everything line up so much better. Thank you for sharing
I have loved watching this, it was so interesting.like you said everyone is different.I love the random quilt the best, like you said it makes you look more at the fabric.Take care.xxx🐝🐝🐝
Ive made several quilts, but its still lovely to watch you make yours. Its given me a little nudge to do a hand one. You've made it very doable with your clear instructions. Thank you 😊
A great video for novices like me Pene and I'm keen to get started. Thank you so much for showing how uncomplicated this can be if taken slowly. And no matching up the seam lines either. xxx
I really enjoy hand sewing which is why I mostly make EPP hexagon cot quilts. I feel more in control of the stitching when I do it by hand & it is very relaxing too. Thank you for showing how to make a quilt without matching seams, I could probably manage that on my machine !
This is brilliant, thank you. I have an uncompleted quilt, had it for years, cant wait to see how to complete it. You make it so simple to follow. Absolutely love the video of your walk, such a beautiful area. I would never get tired of those views. Catch you next time.❤
Another great vlog Pen...really enjoyed this video as I'm keen to have a go. I have made some basic quilts before, but a few years ago....ready to get back in the saddle after watching this!!...thanks again...x x x 🥰
I enjoyed this video even though I have made a number of quilts previously both by hand and machine, although I usually hand quilt them which takes longer but saves trying to fight the quilt under the small throat of my machine. Your 'Storm at Sea' quilt was very impressive for a hand pieced quilt 👏. Learnt a useful tip of the sandpaper block. A tip in return for the beginner's is to take a photo on your phone when you try different layouts and to keep your final choice for reference when joining just in case you need to put the work away before it's joined. Look forward to the next installment 😊
Thanks Lin, I'll make a note of that to mention in my next video. And black and white - shows the fabric well don't you think. Most of my quilts are hand pieced and hand quilted. Nowadays I'm finding it harder to wrestle with the big ones! I've never machine quilted any but have sent a couple to be long armed quilted. The verdict is out on whether I like that effect. For a couple yes but others no. Mmh. Thanks for your tip and support. xx
@@penelopeschinwag agree with you on the long arm quilting, if it is done sympathetically and quite sparingly it looks great but sometimes the quilt to my eye looks what I call 'quilted to death' and the piecing and pattern of the maker is totally lost under the pattern of the quilting. Good point about the black and white photo, I'd forgotten that xx
Lovely video pene Ive never made a quilt before this was very helpful to me thank you for your inspiration, love the little video at the end with the birds and mr robin hiding in the bush,looking forwards to your next video happy stitching lynn 🧵🪡✂️🤗❤️
Thanks Pene for this wonderful tutorial! Your experience shines through.I also love Heathers philosophy on kits I completely understand what she is saying (though I love a kit I also want to express my own creativity as well)Thankyou for being so generous with your time and knowledge ❤
Lovely to see you Pene and such a great video. Talking us through the making of a quilt is wonderful and thank you so much. Can't wait for the next bit. Beautiful film at the end, so relaxing. Take care
Such a lovely comment, thanks. I said to my daughter I hope I don't have my teacher voice on! She said well you're teaching mum so it's ok! Just sharing what I've learned over the past 27 years of quilting. xx
This was really enjoyable you are a brilliant teacher. Love the Tilda fabrics. I'm going to watch all the videos before I start my quilt. I've not made a proper one before. Beautiful sky and nature at the end 😊 xx
Such a pleasure to catch up with you again Penelope. I wish I had seen this video before I began quilting as it was very clear and easy to follow. I am a machine quilter but one day I hope to find the time to hand quilt a small quilt. Thank you for sharing your early morning walk. You live in such a pretty area and it is a delight to see all the animals and green fields. xx
Thank you for the lovely video! I am really inspired to try your techniques! I went to visit my Mum in Florida (she is 98) and I picked up Covid along the way. I came home and a day later was sick in bed for 3 days. I am just feeling human again and your videos kept me company as I recovered. It really helped watching your videos and watching the beautiful videos of the birds and the sea as it gave me a chance to enjoy nature and its beauty …. And hear your cheerful voice. Thank you for helping me through this rough spot! Cheerio!
I have watched you hand quilt and now I’m no longer afraid to hand sew one which I 😊very much look forward to doing. My bird is singing away to your birds in the video. Thank you so much for this video it’s very helpful. Carol
Really enjoyed watching this super video; I am quite new to your channel and have already got a smallish piece of patchwork (to make a cushioned mat for my cat) but don't know how to quilt it, so I am doing a bit of slow stitching on top of some of the pieces, til I find out more. Look forward to seeing how to actually make the 'sandwich' and doing the quilting. (Also enjoying catching up with some of your older videos) Thank you Pene
Thanks for joining me and leaving a lovely comment. It won't be long and I will post the next video. So pleased its come at the right time for you. Slow stitching for your cat sounds very special. xx
Hello Pene, your videos are so inspirational. I have bought a lot of the Elmhirst fabrics for quilt as you go. Could i just ask do you wash your fabric before cutting and sewing? Best wishes.... Tracy....🥰
Hi Tracy, I don't wash fabric before I quilt unless it is red or looks like it could run. The Elmhirst fabrics were fine unwashed, although it is a personal preference. xx
@@penelopeschinwag Thank you so much for getting back to me. I'm so keen to start and didn't relish having to wash it all. I'll keep it in mind though for reds or dark colours. Thanks again hope you both have a lovely weekend. Xx

Our birds too. No thrushes anymore. I think you'll like the next film too. See you soon. xx

I'm so pleased and thrilled that I have been able to help. x
You are a very good teacher. I think I might make a quilt like that. Thank you so much for doing this.
Thanks so much Helen. xx

Happy to give you some tips. See you soon. xx
Thank you, Penelope!
You're welcome!

Thanks, I love watching you too!

Thanks so much. Enjoy the nudge!
A great video for novices like me Pene and I'm keen to get started. Thank you so much for showing how uncomplicated this can be if taken slowly. And no matching up the seam lines either. xxx
Hope you like the pattern. The bricks are big enough to see the different fabrics I think. Plains in there too would look good. Up to you!
I really enjoy hand sewing which is why I mostly make EPP hexagon cot quilts. I feel more in control of the stitching when I do it by hand & it is very relaxing too.
Thank you for showing how to make a quilt without matching seams, I could probably manage that on my machine !
It's also lovely to do by hand, just straight stitching and very relaxing. EPP is just great too. xx
Thanks Penn that was great
My pleasure Glenda. xx
This is brilliant, thank you. I have an uncompleted quilt, had it for years, cant wait to see how to complete it. You make it so simple to follow. Absolutely love the video of your walk, such a beautiful area. I would never get tired of those views. Catch you next time.❤
Oh how lovely, I look forward to hearing your uncompleted quilt is done, well, after the next video. xx
Another great vlog Pen...really enjoyed this video as I'm keen to have a go. I have made some basic quilts before, but a few years ago....ready to get back in the saddle after watching this!!...thanks again...x x x 🥰
How lovely to have inspired you. That saddle is such fun. xxx
Thanks Pene. Excellent tutorial.
Thanks so much. xx

Thanks Lynn, Mr. Robin was gorgeous, sat and looked at us for ages, but didn't sing, obviously had something on his mind!
Thanks Pene for this wonderful tutorial! Your experience shines through.I also love Heathers philosophy on kits I completely understand what she is saying (though I love a kit I also want to express my own creativity as well)Thankyou for being so generous with your time and knowledge ❤

Thank you Penny I've learned more about quilting in this video than any other, no over the top stuff like other videos ❤
Aw thanks Carol, so lovely of you to say. Just sharing what I have learned over the years. Glad it's been of help xx
This was really enjoyable you are a brilliant teacher. Love the Tilda fabrics. I'm going to watch all the videos before I start my quilt. I've not made a proper one before. Beautiful sky and nature at the end 😊 xx
Ah thanks, I hope they help you, you will see in the last episode how it helped a friend of mine. xx

@@penelopeschinwag Feeling much better! Thank you. I mentioned you in my latest Utube.. it is at the end of the video❤
Thanks now I start an quilt for my grandson from the clothes from my dad wich he loved so much
Well, that is so special and I feel honoured to have helped you along the way. xx
Great instructions! Very clear on all the parts. Thanks!
You're more than welcome. xx
