High everyone. Pulling this video together took me a bit longer than I thought it would. It was fun playing with Mt Scrapmore again. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did. If anyone is wondering where I am walking...it's the Bruce Trail at the Fruitland trail.
Great video as always...you inspire me to use up my scraps...yr videos are so great in explaining ..easy to follow you and love how you go out of the box in thinking on block construction. .thank you!! Always ready for yr next video!!! Oh...love the outdoors!!!
Hello, love your videos and really loved the forest background. In fact, I found this one so much easier to watch. Took me a few minutes to realise why, because there weren't really bright lights flashing up in your glasses in this one! The other ones trigger me because the bright video lighting in your sewing studio acts like a strobe light and gives me a bit of a headache. Perhaps you could use a diffuser? Thanks for listening!
I love the fact that you talk slowly enough for me to absorb what you're explaining. I can't tell you how many quilting videos I've tried watching in which the presenter is talking so fast that I can't keep up with (or learn) what that person is explaining. And I always thought I talked fast!! Bless you for what you do for those of us who are trying to learn the art of quilting!!
I was not taught how to make quilts, I only knew about the fancy one's with all the patterned sewing once they were put together. They were beautiful quilts, just too much work for me. My first quilt was made using all the jeans my kids and I grew out of and whatever neighbors gave me and created what I called 'drag around quilts'. Was tired of my kids taking my blankets and quilts outside to make their forts, especially the blankets that were fuzzy and everything stuck to them and were a pain to get clean. I used blocks of denim from the old clothes, the fuzzy blankets in place of batting and a heavy weight sheet for the other side of the quilt. There were made to be slightly larger then the top of a twin bed and I made a pillow to go with them. They were easy to roll up and take with you, could be used for travel, sleep overs and the every popular backyard forts, quite literally designed to be dragged anywhere. The kids loved them because it was denim and the sheeting meant nothing stuck to them and clean up was a breeze. Was also a great way to hide the ugly looking fuzzy blankets. They were so popular family and friends were asking for them.
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I am in the process of making one for my grand daughter and will take photo's before I give it to her. The other quilts are in different places with family and friends around the country since that was over 20 yrs ago and most of us have moved. In a bizarre turn, my daughters dog kept chewing on hers so will be making one for her as well, just not sure yet I can get both done in time for Christmas.
I forgot your name . Is it Karen? I can't wait to get home from work to see more of your videos and sense of humour. It makes my day. Just to say Thankyou so much for all your trouble making these informative videos which lift the spirit of women all over the world. I am learning so much.
I'm in Victoria, BC and just joined the Victoria Quilt Guild. I have been sewing for a long time but I'm just getting into quilting. I love all the blocks you've chosen for the scrap busting. VQG had their annual Christmas sale at the beginning of November and I saw a couple of quilts there that I just fell in love with!!! Both were scrappy. One was just scrappy blue squares about 2 inches in size and you had to really look to see the ring of slightly lighter blues. It was absolutely lovely!! The other one was the braid you showed. It was in 1 inch finished strips and each joined braid was about 3 or 4 inches wide and it was just gorgeous!! I am going to give the braid a try as a table runner for Christmas. I have lots of Christmas scraps from making aprons and ornaments. Thanks for the inspiration!!
My name is Laura and I have a scrap problem...I love them and can't bear to throw away even the smallest piece. I keep 3/4" or more. I make lots of scrap quilts and love using little pieces. My problem now is that other people now know that I use all the little pieces and several people have started giving me their scraps. At first this was a wonderful gift. I love pulling out each little piece, ironing it, sorting it, and packing it away in my elaborate system. As time has gone on, I am realizing that I am not getting several other quilters'scraps plus my own and I am spending more time processing scraps than I am actually sewing! I realize this is a good problem to have, but I need more hours in the day! No matter how many I use, the pile keeps growing! Thanks for all the fun ideas for using them!
This happened to me too! I love scraps!! And I love small projects!! At one point I had 6 huge bins crammed full!!! I finally had to say, " I am so grateful for the offer, but I just cant take any more until I empty at least one bin! If someone else wants them please pass them on. Or I can let you know when I have room for more". Thankfully no ones feeling were hurt. Every so often now, I get, " my scraps are piling up again, do you have room for them or should I call preschools and see if they want them?".
Thanks so much for creating your videos! I know how much work it is! Really appreciate it. Oh,,, I've made 36 string blocks so far and the pile of scraps must be having babies because it's not diminishing! LOL
Great video. I look forward to your videos! I love your scrap ones...the stash ones...ih and I now press not iron. Thanks so very much for taking the time to teach me, a 71 year old quilter who learned how to quilt a year ago from UA-cam.
1/ STRING BLOCKS 2/ DIAGONAL STRINGS 3/ SCRAPPY L block .... 4/ scrappy log cabin 5 / scrappy court house steps 6/ scrappy braid ... similar technique as FRENCH BRAID quilts ... love it 7
Thank you for all those scraps subject videos they are really so intersteting and I learn a lot. Your explanations are crystal clear and I really enjoy your way of talking, as english is not my prima langage, I can understand you very well and it's awsome !
Your scrap videos are so inspiring, my brain explodes with ideas to use strips, blocks, HSTs! I love the restful, organized way you address such a potentially chaotic subject. Keep up the beautiful presentations 😊
Here I am vacationing in Italy and instead of venturing out with friends to explore at night, I’m here in my room watching you, ha ha. I fly home soon and will be able to start sewing again - I’ll make the string quilt 😊
Thanks for all the inspiration. My favorite scrap block is a string with diagonal strips with a white center. I make them 10" square using a paper towel for foundation. So easy and fun.
The string pieced blocks can be done foundation-style. I like to convert a used dryer sheet into my foundation "fabric" because it's so light. When you take the dryer sheet out of the dryer, it's a crumpled ball of polyester-mesh, but it flattens easily with a hot iron. Move quickly so-as not to melt the sheet. Or, if you want a more natural fiber, a thin muslin would work just as well. The benefit of foundation-piecing the string blocks is that all the seam allowances are tidy, sandwiched between the foundation and the surface, and unable to unravel or get messy.
A time and get rid if frustration for scrap blocks is to use a page from an old telephone book. Sew scraps or strips to cover telephone page and trim to page size. Remove paper and each square or rectangle is exact same size. Work’s wonderfully.
Hi Karen! My scrap boxes are getting too full again. I did make a couple quilts with scrappy string idea. Worked out well. I used foundation fabric the first time. Now I made a cardboard template which works well. I needed to review your ideas. Thank you. Between yourself and Brenda in Edmonton, I'm trying to reduce Mt. Scrapmore. Marion in Oregon
Yes yes yes 😁 QAYG would be wonderful!! You are one of the two most instructive quilting channels I watch, so I jump on anything you post. Could you show us how to QAYG a pieced block (like windmills, HSTs, log cabin, etc.)? I'm making nine patch blocks for my daughter's full-size heritage quilt, and I only have a Brother home machine to quilt it on 😅 Thank you for making all these wonderful, easy to follow videos!!
I made a massive dent into my my scrapmore I cut my scraps into 1.5 inch strips and joined together. However within that strip were other strips no longer than 2 to 3 inches. I made 10 inch blocks and rotated every second block. Quilt was 9 x 9 blocks. As i like bright colours it is a bright quilt. It was designed to be able to be put in the back of our SUV for impomtu picnic etc or when we are at soccer. The whole family loves it. Thanks again you are an amazing lady I love watching your videos. ❤ from 🇦🇺
I just want to tell you how much I enjoy alllll of your videos!! I had a dry spell for a while where I didn't want to touch my sewing, I put everything away and then I found your videos a few months ago and I got it back out. My sewing is my therapy and I needed it. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. You are so down to earth, friendly and your teaching style is great!
I would like you to show the quilt as you go method. I started sewing at 8 through our local 4-H program. But I’ve learned so much from you by watching your video’s. Thank you because quilting has numerous different nuances..
High everyone. Pulling this video together took me a bit longer than I thought it would. It was fun playing with Mt Scrapmore again. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did. If anyone is wondering where I am walking...it's the Bruce Trail at the Fruitland trail.
I may never make a quilt but I love your videos, especially when I am homesick for Ontario. :) Thanks for getting them done!
I will take your one inch strips. I like those very thin strips in between wider ones, it just adds something to a strippy block.
Great video as always...you inspire me to use up my scraps...yr videos are so great in explaining ..easy to follow you and love how you go out of the box in thinking on block construction. .thank you!! Always ready for yr next video!!! Oh...love the outdoors!!!
It’s cool to see the Fibonacci sequence outside of math class starting around 4:30

A video on joining quilt as you go blocks would be amazing 😄
A tutorial on "quilt as you go" would be wonderful!! Thanks.
Can't wait to accumulate a Mt Scrapmore to try all these ideas 😅
Thanks for all the inspiration. My favorite scrap block is a string with diagonal strips with a white center. I make them 10" square using a paper towel for foundation. So easy and fun.
I'm new to this. Do you tear the paper off later or leave it on?
Carol ...tear it off .
The string pieced blocks can be done foundation-style. I like to convert a used dryer sheet into my foundation "fabric" because it's so light. When you take the dryer sheet out of the dryer, it's a crumpled ball of polyester-mesh, but it flattens easily with a hot iron. Move quickly so-as not to melt the sheet.
