Omg I loved it. I am almost 40 years old and I love doing projects with my Daddy. Dad's are the best.
Yes!!! I’m 34, and he’s still the first person I go to for basically anything! 😂💖 how do they know how to do EVERYTHING?!?!
@@StitchObsessed I mean I don't understand how Dad's know everything because my husband (dad of 5) definitely does not 😂 I guess it just comes with time. The blooper at the end had me DYING 😂
@@BAMom780 😂😂😂 I HAD to include it hehehe
This is awesome - thanks so much "Dad" for making something that looked complicated so much simpler! Miriam - you are blessed!
I definitely am 🥰💖 thanks for watching!
Wow, You & your dad make a great team. Awesome memory making.
Yes definitely! 💖 he’s lots of fun to work with! 🥰
I’m 20 minutes in and it just keeps getting better! You’ve got a great Dad. 🤗 I love Dad technical terms like ‘swirly deals’! I love how he simplified everything! He explained it beautifully! That’s how my grandfather taught me to do this type of scaling. ❤ And to think basic measuring like this was how the Egyptians made the pyramids.
Yes! It’s pretty cool what you can do with a stick and some string! 🤓💖 thanks so much for watching!!!
What an uplifting message Miriam. Yes. You got your quilt marked (mind blown!) but you have the love and support of your dad and mom who believe in you. That’s everything. I had parents like that too. I could never have figured out the math. That was a joy to watch. ❤❤
Thank you so much, Delia 🥰🥰 I know I am very blessed 🥲 💖💖💖
@@StitchObsessed 🥰
So awesome to see you and your dad working together and hear you laughing so much!!!! Loved seeing how you marked your guidelines to get ready for the next step. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks so much!!💖🥰
I bet your dad could figure out how to mark out the Baptist fan quilting lines too, *hint hint.* it seems everything nowadays requires having to buy a template. You and your dad could start a series on how to quilt w/o having to buy expensive templates, I know I’d watch. Your dad’s idea on how to mark out spirals was ingenious, I could figure out what and how he was doing this and will be able to use his idea on my own quilts. Thx dad for this invaluable info. It’s obvious you and your dad have a wonderful relationship, all of us should be as lucky. ❤
Edited to say: I subscribed the second I saw this video, I look forward to watching more of your tutorials. Off to binge watch now.
Aww yay! Thanks so much for subscribing! And you’re SO right! Those templates are so expensive; we could definitely do more videos for different marking techniques 🤓💖 thanks for the great suggestion!
LOL I`m an older generation but still have my very helpful hubby! I call HELP and he always does! ❤
Sounds like you have a keeper!
Love that you have included your dad to help you. My dad would never do anything like this. But my husband has helped me many times. I will have to try this method. Thanks for sharing your quilting with all of us. You both are great teachers. ❤
That’s awesome you can get your hubby to help! 👏🏻 thank you so much for watching! 💖
Your dad is so cute!! What a nice guy! I could tell he really cares for you. ❤
Yeah he’s pretty great! 🥰👏🏻
Thank you, not just for the spiral tutorial but the absolute joy and love of watching you and your dad work on the project together. I lost my dad several years ago and I could hear him and I in your banter and giggles. It brought back so many cherished memories of working on projects with my dad. I can't wait to see the final quilt!
💖💖💖💖 big hugs!!!!
Special thanks to your Dad for sharing his knowledge.
I’ll let him know! 💖
Oh, you have the best Daddy ever!!
I certainly do!
This is a brilliant bit of analog computing! Using the diameter of the dowel to control the distance between turns of the spiral is so clever!
See! Told ya he’s a smarty pants! 🤓💖💖💖
Your dad is BRILLIANT & cute!
Haha! Yes, yes he is! 💖
Hi Dad! You have an amazing daughter!
Awww, Vera 💖🫣
How this made me miss my sweet genius Dad! I am happy for you that you have yours.
Aww sending you hugs!!! 💖💖💖
Oh my gosh this is so precious!!!!
🥰🥰🥰
I love this. I'm 71. Just learning free motion. My late husband had a full beard. Love that too. My dad was into mechanical drawing and wood working. Wanted to build me a quilting frame. I lost him when I was 19.
💖I’m so sorry you lost your dad so young, Carolyn 💖
My smart brother and niece
OMG. I have to show this to my math husband!
This former high school math teacher enjoyed this immensely 😊. I'll be trying this!
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it! 👏🏻💖
Extra father's day gift this year. Maybe a pie.☺️ Great tutorial!
Excellent suggestion! 🤓👏🏻 thanks for watching, Robin!! 💖
I love your dad! You have his smile. Go Dads!
Thanks for watching!!! 💖💖
Thanks for making something complicated easy! Perfect timing to work on a project with your dad as father's day approaches.
So glad you enjoyed it!!! 💖
Awesome work, your dad is a trooper love his shirt. I’m going to use this design with the help of my hubby. Thanks for a great video. 👍❤️🙂
Thanks so much for watching, Carmen! Good luck with the marking and quilting! You’re gonna do great! 💖👏🏻
Your Dad is awesome! I love this ❤
Oh yeah, he’s awesome! 👏🏻 💖
So cool! I can’t wait to see it quilted! 💕
Ha! Me too! 👏🏻😍
How I wish I could be doing things with my lovely dad , who I lost 36 years ago. Good idea you had.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your dad, Karen 💖💖 sending you big hugs!!!!
Thank you , yes love them while you have them I say xxx
My cat looks just like yours🥰😍
Awww that’s awesome! 💖
This is so sweet, Hun ! I've not forgotten you, life is just getting in the way of YT and quilting. 😂 I'll be back soon. 😍
It’s all good, Teresa 💖 I hope everything is okay 🤗🤗🤗
Clever and patient dad. The best
He is the best! 👏🏻💖
Great video! I can’t wait to see your quilt all quilted.
It’s literally in the dryer right now and I am doing a little happy dance! 🫣 it looks SO cool!!!
@@StitchObsessed you have inspired me to try it!!
@@dot7146 yay!!! Mission accomplished! 👏🏻👏🏻
Such a brilliant idea! Your dad is the best. Thanks
I agree; he’s the best! 💖 thanks for watching!!!
Such an awesome project and with the help of dad is always easy and fun! 🥳 PS your cat is beautiful ❤
Thank you, Sanae!!!💖💖💖
How cool is this! Love seeing you work with your dad to bring to life your vision of spirals on the quilt.
Thank you so much! 💖
Impressive how he figured the math out! 😮
He’s a smarty pants!
Oh the math!!
Pi is only known as pie in my house!
Hooray for Dads!!
Bahaha! Ikr? He started talking about pi and I was like whoa whoa whoa, don’t make me hungry! 😂😂
I love seen you work with your Dad. The Dad jokes were awesome. 🤣🤣 As soon as he started with the math and pulled out the tape measure, it reminded me of asking my hubby about something electrical. 🤦🏻♀️ With hubby I’m like “Just fix it or tell me in SIMPLE TERMS how to fix my issue.” Like “Am I going to overload the breaker to the sewing room if I plug this in too?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y’all made an awesome team and I don’t blame Mom for just sitting and enjoying you making memories with your Dad!!! ENJOY HIM!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Lol!!! I hear you! It’s like, I don’t need to know the scientific proof and reasoning for why this is gonna work. I just need to know IF it’ll work 😂🥴 thanks so much for watching, Laura!!!💖
What a good sport your dad is! I plan on making my elderly dad help with my sewing/quilting hobby when I visit next.
Aww yay! I hope you both have lots of fun together! 👏🏻💖
My Dad has been gone for 4 years now; we did a lot of projects together (he was a highly accomplished Architect; he was brilliant! Oh, how I miss him.). Anyway, The spiral turned out beautifully. I saw the finished quilt; absolutely gorgeous! Thanks Miriam and Dad ❤
I’m so sorry, you’ve lost your dad, Lindsay 💖 sounds like you have some special memories with him which is wonderful ! 🤗🤗🤗 hugs!!!
Great video! This is very doable, thank you. Oh, and thanks Dad 😊 (Happy Father's Day). ❤
I enjoyed watch you with your dad. My dad was really smart, too. I am 84 myself, have lived a lot longer than Daddy. He was only 65 when he died. I still miss him (and Mother) every day. Love and enjoy being with your folks while you can. I have just found you and an really enjoying you, you have a great personality. Joy Carter, Mesquite, TX (a suburb of Dallas).
Aww Joy, thank you so much for sharing 💖I’m sure you have many sweet memories of both your parents 🤗🤗🤗 I’m so glad you’re here!
Very interesting process..thanks Dad.
Thank you! 💖
What a great Dad to help with his he math!!
Yes!!! I’m very blessed to have him! 🥰
Annnnnnnd, how perfect to be watching this episode on Father's Day? Your quilt just became more precious to you, I'm sure.
Oh yes! I have a special memory quilted into those quilt now 🥰💖
Great working with Daddy.
It was fun!💖
I love the design! Looking forward to seeing it all done.
How nice for you to share that time with your dad. I love the way he laughs. ❤
Oh yeah he’s got a great laugh! 💖🤓
Wow you have an awesome dad!!!!
I do! 👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant technique for a brilliant quilting design 🎉Can't wait to see you quilt it🎉
Yay! Thank you! I did some of the quilting today and it looks SO good! 😍 can’t wait to show it off on Friday!!!
Could never see my dad foing this. You are lucky.
I definitely am lucky! 💖
This was great! Made me all warm and fuzzy to see you with your dad, and made me think of mine. He would have been all over the challenge to figure out the spirals as well. What a fun memory for you both. I’m excited to see the finished quilt!
It’s definitely a very special memory 💖 thank you SO much for watching!
So glad to see you with your dad. I an 84, my dad died in 1980 and I still miss him. He was really smart like your dad. Did I hear your dad say how a c arpenter
Yep! My dad is cabinet maker by trade and knows how to do all kinds of woodworking 💖
Ingenious!
Pretty cool, right?! 🤓😍
@@StitchObsessed absolutely 💯 problem solver💡
He's not just a Dad... he's a COOL DAD. 😎 My Dad is no longer with us, but he was not at all mechanically-inclined!
That’s right! He’s the coolest! 😎 I’m sorry your dad has passed. I’m sure you have many great memories of him 💖
So sorry!
Love watching, so lucky to have your Dad helping you out!
Yes! He’s the best! 👏🏻💖
Loved the two of you!!
Thank you! ☺️
Siamese cat, yes! Another affinity marker!
Years ago I made round table toppers/cloths for customers and I marked my cutting line using a similar method. Such a fun design to stitch. Your dad did a great job helping you to problem solve it out.
Oh that’s awesome! Thanks for watching, Deborah!💖
Simple, yet brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I appreciate what you do! ☺
Thank you so much 💖💖💖
Nice teamwork!
Yeah! Teamwork makes the dream work! 👏🏻
Brilliant!
Thank you!💖
Great idea!
Thanks! Its going to looks pretty cool! 👏🏻
I use chalk "pencils" quit often. I think they would easily work with this.
Love this video! Thank you for showing us the process!! Can't wait to see this finished! And thank you dad!! I cant wait to try this in the future!!
Yay! Thanks so much for watching, Pam!💖🤗
That was fun! Thanks Dad! 😂
Will try on some muslin, with different stick sizes to see the widths!
That’s a great idea! 👏🏻👏🏻💖 thanks for watching!!
Just multiply the diameter of the dowel by 3.14 or 22/7 to get the distance between lines of the spiral. This is a dowel and a piece of string acting as an analog computer! Use paper and pencil - cheaper than fabric and marker.
WOW WOW WOW
Oh yeah 😎😂
So nice to see you work calmly patiently and skillfully. I joke that if I had 3 minutes more of patience, I might have accomplished great things. The circular design is very cool as is the means to draw it. Watch out for the markers that fade before you finish a project. And see what it says about ironing in case it will set or erase the marks.
Thank you for the heads up, Carol! 💖🤗
This is a great idea!can't wait to see it!!!!
Yeah! Me too!! 😂🥰
Very cool Miriam! You are a great team. Looking forward to watching this get quilted.
Thank you, Deborah!!!🤗💖
Cool, can't wait to see the quilting.
Me too! Hehe 🤓💖
Video was awesome! Dads are the best. Sorry your mom was too shy to come in front of the camera would have loved to have met her. I can tell by the muscles in your dad's legs and arms that he worked out. That's awesome that you two work out together. I was listening to your dad talk and as I was listening to him I thought he would be an awesome DJ or singer lol he has a very nice voice. I can't wait to see the quilting.
I’ll get mom on here one of these days! ☺️ and yes! I agree he’s got a great voice! Funny thing is, my older brother sounds VERY similar to my dad and he’s actually a music teacher and sings! 🥰
Miriam!!! Daddy!!!Awe, so sweet! Great job!
Thank you, Zelda! 🥰💖
Super cool special guest!! I can’t wait to see your finishing touch. Good thing I have smart boys to help me with this I’m brave enough to try. I’m about to try your “circuit” quilting, that’s what I call ii]t. 😂 I believe it was the previous quilt you showed us. Anyway, can’t wait to see this one finished. 👍🏻
Oh awesome! I hope you have fun doing that quilting! I’d love to see it when you’re done 😍💖
Great tutorial. I would like to attempt this and wondered how to do it. Thanks for sharing
Of course! Thank you for watching! 💖
Cute kitty
Thank you! 💖🥰
Awww, your dad is so nice! And smart! I just might consider doing spirals for my next quilt! Just wanted to give a little hint, when you post the definition of diameter at 5 minutes, what you’re actually saying is radius. Radius is from the center to the outside. Diameter is twice that, all the way across the circle from one side to the other. It obviously did not matter though because your quilt turned out gorgeous!
Lol!!! You are right! Whoops! 😬 😂
What a extra special Dad , clever , like his daughter Australia
Aww thank you, Patricia!!! 💖💖💖
I am absolutely going to try this! I’ve been wanting to do a spiral but been afraid that the rings would be wonky. Thanks!
Yay! Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻 you’ve got this!
Brilliant! Can't wait to see you quilt it.
Yes! I’m starting tomorrow! Can’t wait to see the quilting come to life! 😍
This would work in reverse with a bobbin 😊
Awesome
Now you need to stitch it with dark thread so all that work shows!!!
Or variegated thread 😍🤓
I've found that Crayola washable markers, sold in a box with multiple colors, are much cheaper than quilter's markers, and work just as well. Test them on a scrap and run through your washing machine to be sure.
I’m gonna have to get a pack and try them! I’ve had a couple of people say that’s what they use! That would be awesome too you have multiple color options 😍
WOW, You say Crop circles I say Oh the inside rings of a tree!! Nice!! Its going to look AMAZING!! But I do not think I would ever figure this out myself!! Glad you had your dads help!!
I bet you could do it! 🥰👏🏻 and you’re so right! It looks like tree rings too!
I promise I'm here for the quilting and the spiral is amazing! Way to go Dad! BUT I also need that mushroom tshirt in my life!!! WHERE can I find it?!
Haha!! 🍄 I’m pretty sure I found it at Walmart a couple summers ago!
General multi-pastel chalk pencils are supposed to be great for marking a quilt. They disappear with water but don't rub off while you're quilting. I think I got this from Coriander Quilts. Amazon has them.
Oh that makes total sense that just regular chalk would work! Thank you for the heads up! 👏🏻💖
Does your Dad make house calls😅
😂😂😂
💚💚💚
❤
I thought the lines would be a lot closer with that small dowel. I’m very surprised
You have given me the greatest of ideas 💡 I plan to do this too. How big was the dowel stick?
Yay! That’s awesome! We used a 1/4” dowel rod, and my rings are about 1 1/2” apart!
The design and colors are very pleasing. Will you free motion quilt it? It would be pretty to hand quilt with big stitches too. If you use a walking foot and spin the quilt, will it pucker? That's what happened to my last quilt as I spun it to machine quilt around each square I had to take it all out and quilt the sashing and tie the squares.
I am planning on doing free motion quilting! If I had more time, I would LOVE to hand quilt it. I glue basted which holds the layers together really well, so I think if I were to use a walking foot, it wouldn’t pucker.
Was there anything put on the end of the dowel to prevent slippage?
Nope! I just tried to hold it very still 😂😂 that was my job.
This is fantastic!! Now, I have a question?
What’s your dad’s fee? 😂
Just kidding! But serious about this: next we need a video of dad working his own quilt!
Lol!!! Idk if I can convince him of that! 😂 he’s a pretty busy guy! But I’ll try to get him back on the channel at some point for more shenanigans!
I can hear all those math teachers do a big "HA!" after we all ask why we learn all this crap... "when wiill I ever use this in real life" Voilà
Lol!!!! So true!!! I’ve thought about writing to my HS algebra teacher. I bet she would get a kick out of knowing I’m using AND teaching math to other quilters 🙃😂 math was NOT my best class lol
This is fantastic!! Now, I have a question?
What’s your dad’s fee? 😂
He only charged a hug! 😂🥰🥴
Hello! 👋
When sewing circles with a walking foot, guess how much of your project is sewing on the bias. ALL OF IT. This begins to distort your quilt. Use caution, ask me how I know😢.
Oh no!!! 😬 I feel your pain.
