My Mom was an amazing seamstress. She taught me to sew making clothing. I made my first top when I was 12 and made many clothes through high school. I gave it up when I discovered quilting 30 years ago. I never really enjoyed constructing clothing but my love of fabrics began as a small child wandering the aisles of the fabric store with Mom.
Loved your color lesson, Pat! I have improved so much with putting color, patterns, and size of patterns together by watching your for several years. My Stay at Home Quilt is coming along, but I need to finish the squares before I start doing the sashing as I need to see the entire set of blocks laid. I am making pinwheels with my snowballed corners. They may end up later in the final border, like the letter "L" going around corners with solid fabric in between. So many choices. Thank you and love you, Pat!!
I learned to quilt by helping my great aunt and having her help me. She made EVERYTHING and helped me make a quilt to give to my cousin for Christmas. Fast forward many years to 9th grade home ec and I made a denim skirt that I hated. Didn't sew for many years and then I jumped back into quilting.
I just appreciate all that you offer us...thank you for giving so much of yourself and feeding our desire to create with a sewing machine...and by hand...thanks!
I look forward to watching your videos daily! Thank you!
One of may absolute favorite quilts is a sawtooth start mini quilt made with the leftover cutoffs from the half-square triangles. The blocks measure 4". It hangs on the harp of an old-fashioned washstand that sits in my dining room.
And yay for May!!! Thank you Pat.
Yay!! So happy to hear your book will be out soon.
I learned to sew by making clothing, also. When I was 10 years old I told my mother that I wanted to make my own play clothes for that summer. And I did, at least I made all of my shorts to go with tee shirts. My mother taught me to use her Singer treadle machine, and I still have it. I enjoy using my much newer Brothers machine today, and no longer make many clothing items. Quilting is so much more fun!
Loved watching this video. Thanks for all you do in these days of seclusion to keep us entertained and occupied. Blessings.
Thankfully my husband is doing a lot of the cooking. I am looking forward to May's sew along.
Enjoy your videos. Thanks so much
That's kewl that you like to switch out your quilts for your living room. I do too.
Love the tulips!
So glad you are doing the May calendar! Thank you!
Yay! So excited you’re going to do May, too!!!! 😘
Exciting. So happy you are keeping this up for the Month of May! Thank you! 💕
Yes, I am so glad you are doing May!
Dear Pat: Glad you are doing the challenges in May! Yeah!
Thank you, thank you for talking about color. Finally made sense to me. You explained it so well! I learned to sew in 9th grade Home Ec also.
Thank you Pat for another fun video. I had to stop my block of the day, however, I did cut a couple of square's yesterday, I can't wait to get back to it !!
I like the first peach you picked because it looks like small butterflies, plus it has white to blend with your other white. Thanks for all you do, Pat. You always make the right choice!
May mayhem
Marvelous May
May madness
Masterfully meandering through May
9th grade Home Economics in 1965... made an apron as my first project. My Mom taught 4-H so I learned all the crafts - knitting, crocheting, cooking, sewing etc. Never heard of a 5 x 15" ruler. Sound amazing.
I'm so glad that you are going to do a May calendar!
Thank you very, very for wath you du for us💝
Congrats Deb!!!
Good job on your book. I have enjoyed getting to cook for my family.
I think you could probably use the rest of the second charms and complete another row. Then borders and it would make a goo sized lap quilt or snooze on the couch quilt.
I also learned to sew in 9th grade with Sr. Herbert. She said my zipper looked like a "porcupine". I also used to clean the sewing room after school - good practice.
I am using your Oh My Stars quilt out of my Mackinac Island fabric. It is looking so good. Thank you for the pattarn💕
I learned to make cloths from my mom I believe but started sewing doll cloths by just stitching fabric scraps together on my grandmother's treadle machine when I was around six years old. I LOVE that dress form fabric. So cute. I would love to use it for a chair covering on my sewing chair, and have some pink trim. : ) Triangle scraps: I bought some dollar store wire bowls.. about 5 in all, and I am using putting the cut triangles in the first one, I then stitch them between pcs. on my quilt stitching (as leaders and enders), then they go directly to the ironing board, are pressed, and then to the cutting board to square up (size doesn't matter) I have them from 1 3/4 inches to 1" sizes... but they go at that point into another basket until they are paired with a rectangle, etc. and so all in all they all make little blocks of various sizes that will someday be used in something.
Dear Pat: Finished Week #2 blocks for cbb. Yeah! I also sewed on my Seaside quilt, which was on the back burner. Will work on April Quilt Along to decide on sashing and corner blocks tomorrow. Love the butterfly, floral, gray/black fabrics. For the challenge today, I'm working on getting my fabric together for a downhill skiing themed quilt for my son. I'm going to see if I can get the book, Perfect 5 Quilts. I've been to Mackinac Island twice now and it's beautiful there so I also bought some of the Mackinac Island fabric when it first came out. I think I have a layer cake and 2 charm packs along with some yardage that was a remnant. I liked the Biscotti Quilt as well as the Pinwheel Cookie Quilt. There's books out there on how to cut your own hair. I love to bake and cook, but have been busy quilting. I don't want to get behind on quilting with you. I learned to sew by making clothing too. This was with my mom, aunt, and in Home Ec in Jr. High School. I've saved all my clipped off corners too! Thanks again, Pat!
I have been sewing the ends of the block as I go along.
I love the vintage dress forms too but I am in the same boat as you - no place to put it. My hairdresser has one that is made of greens for her Christmas tree!
Hi Pat, see you have 3-4 people from Wichita. I have the 1 1/2 inch Macinaw Island and going to make a log cabin throw quilt for the 4th July. Have never made a log cabin, also using FQS papers for it. Going a little crazy inside so glad the weather is getting nice to go out in. My husband goes to Braums here to get milk and I go to the store for the bigger things
I have the Pillow Talk book and have made 2 pillows from it ,glad to know we can get kits have one I can not find the right fabric for. Have been in love with the book when KJ from the FQS had her pillow contest. My sewing started in 7th grade home ec. which was Jr. High then and my Aunt was the teacher, talk about pressure all the way thru 9th grade. Each year we covered different things and by 9th we started sewing. The first quarter we made smaller items and after Xmas we started on skirts and pants with zippers. Stay safe and sew on. Doing May sounds GREAT can not wait, looking forward to it
Thank you Can't wait for the next one.
Tried watching last night but my internet connection is so slow that it kept stopping. So here I am this morning and wanted to thank you for the color challenge. I am going to do that this morning to start building some more pallets to work with. I am so short on fabric selection, this will help me to know what i need to add easier I think.
Hehehe! Cut my hair all the time but then again I’m a retired hairdresser! I just pulled a group of fabrics for an Edyta Sitar pattern.
Enjoyed watching your process of picking the fabrics to go together in a quilt. I would like to see how you choose a pattern to go with those fabrics. It’s always fun to watch your videos and I usually learn something new.
I learned to sew from my Mom and sisters. I am the youngest of four girls and we all sewed doll clothes and then our own clothing. When I took home economics in ninth grade I learned to tailor a jacket. I still have it but unfortunately can no longer fit in it.
Keep safe and well.
I am not able to watch your chats on Monday nights because I am in bed by 8:30 because I am up each day at 3:00am to get to work at 5:00am. So I watch on Wednesday mornings which is my day off. I do enjoy them and learn from each of them. Thank you for all you do each day to make everyone's day in this Stay Home, Stay Safe time in our history.
My grandmother taught me to sew at age 10 while staying with her on the one-week Easter vacation. I sewed a skirt, blouse and jacket to wear on Easter. In middle school, my mother bought a modern sewing machine then I sewed even more. By high school I sewed all of my clothes. I would choose a style I like in a magazine or store, then adapt patterns or combine patterns. When I had 3 preschoolers I quit garment sewing. I picked up counted cross stitrch to work in the evenings. These days I avoid sewing clothing these days and no cross-stitch. Quilting!!
I absolutely think about space to figure out how to decorate! Can you tell us how you hang your quilts? How to hang to change them out frequently!
My first sewing was 9th grade - first project was a beach bag! I made quite a few of my own clothes, then was able to take a tailoring class in college...once I figured out reading patterns I was unleashed...and still am! No dress form here - I am in a condo at the 🏖 and while I have limited space it is totally worth the trade off of sand between my toes when not sewing!
I got a dress form at Hobby Lobby wire for display look there when they open back up or online.
Hi Pat ,
I wish I had saved from the beginning , but I did start about a week and 1/2 into April and I have started sewing my cut off pieces . I was toying with the idea of piecing a border for this quilt but I am not sure . If I do not use it now I will in the future . Maybe a scrap doll quilt , who knows .
love this fireside chat! :)
The purple tulips caught my eye to watch this video 🙂 . Your hair was so dark, pretty of course ! 💗 When you mentioned mug rugs it sparked an idea I had been thinking about for a gift lol
I just kinda repeat the meals, figure two weeks out and rotate, what I’ll never forget is when you see what items were fulfilled on the pick up list, I only expect to get 50% of the items, I make a list with two stores, a few days apart, that’s helped. I like to keep very stocked with things, I still have not opened my two unopened Costco toilet paper, and have so much hand sanitizer, but slowly that will start to get low supplies...i usu cut my own bangs, but not the rest, today I tried for a style...my go to has been pinned up, and I’m in sweats all day...no makeup, but in case the grandkids FaceTime I have been putting on makeup...now I have another book to buy, bought the one you showed a few days ago...going to start English paper piecing....
I like the tulips. Do you carry the pattern ??
Hello from Kentucky!
I have Blue Bird panels to make a quilt out of and the last 2 days back to working on my first of 4 quilts started and made the tops and have been sitting there waiting.
Love the inspiration in the youtube videos
I love this method of picking fabrics for a project. So easy to choose what works and what doesn't according to what you like. Thanks.
Make It in May 😀 thank you for continuing the daily videos ❤️❤️❤️
I love color so many fabrics make me happy! I get too bored with just a few pieces too.
My grand mother and mother and I to took home make four years I have sews all my live and have been doing quilt about 3 years
Bundling a group for projects, then into a clear bin until I have all the parts then I can make it without the “Gosh where did I put that!?!”
Corner pieces, Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison have a pattern in their book Sunday Morning Quilts that made me start saving my scrap triangles.
Thanks for doing these videos
I started sewing at 5 with my mother. Then I did 4H starting about 9, and then a couple of years in H.S. I've been sewing now for over 60 years and quilting for over 50
Love that butterfly fabric!
Hi Pat! I am loving your chats! I feel like you are sitting in my living room with me and we are having quilty friend girl talk😊 I am doing the Stay At Home QAL and just finished the last row ( I am ahead of the ‘curve’ for a change!) I am glad you are going to continue the daily chats for May.❤️
My granddaughter trimmed my hair last weekend. Looks not bad.
I learned to sew garments in 4-H with Mrs. Jones. My mom tried, but she didn’t have the patience. Yes, I have been doing the bonus triangles. I think I will work them into stars and put in the corners of the quilt.
This is my first month finding your site and I love it! Thanks for doing again in May. I have always combined fabric in my stash as you do, even if it's only a small bit, because if I need more for a pattern at least I know what colors I like when I go to the store to buy more. Sometimes I like the color but not the "flavor" (the design) of the piece when combined with the focus fabric. So, another excuse to go buy more fabric..... can't complain about the hunt!!
I just want to thank you for sharing your talent! This has been my daily joy!! ❤️ your dress form block!
I love the purple tulip wall hanging!
Thank you for the challenge! I always have a hard time building a group of fabrics...it helps to have you think out loud to show how to choose!
Love your videos! I look forward to seeing all the creative things you do and, of course, your happy manner. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to make these videos.
Your happy manner first attracted me. I’m a new quilter and appreciate all your hints and teachings. Please be safe, Pat. You are my quilting inspiration. Your happy heart meshes with mine.
That is a beautiful collection, Pat! So much fun!
Love your butterfly fabric and the colors you chose. Love the black print. I gave myself a really weird haircut and will be wearing scarves while it grows out. Arrrgh! Good thing I don't have to go out so much. Ha!
Hello everybody looking forward to May challenge.
Phylena Kline hiiii 😃
9th grade sewing class as well...had the cooking semester, sewing the other. For the cooking we doubled the recipe for the good stuff but didn’t tell the teacher, hehehe
So close to cutting my bangs lol... you cracked my up!
I’m thinking about using my HST from the Stay at Home into envelope blocks to make a pillow
I like to do something simple too once in awhile that can be completed really fast. Last night I made a casserole holder that is why I missed this live.
I've been eyeing that Mackinac Island fabric, wondering what I can make out of it. So pretty. I better buy some before it's gone.
I put a loaf of white bread in to baker this morning.
Yay!! So glad we will have a May calendar. Thanks 💕 You’re awesome. And, LOVE the tulip quilt behind you 🌷
I am making my stay at home quilt for my daughter, and I am thinking I am going to make mug rugs or small placemats for her and her boyfriend to go with the quilt. I have a majority of them sewn together, pressed and trimmed to 1-inch.
I do have a dress form and adjustable one it was in my livingroom for awhiile with my daughter's mother-in-law's wedding dress on it since she has passed away I have donated it to a friend to make angle gowns out of . so dress form has been retired to the basement.
What is the name of the red and white quilt behind you. I just love it. The fabric in the dress forms I have my curtains in my sewing room.
Thank you for sharing your ideas for a fabric collection, mine are sometimes flat in appearance. Can hardly wait to try your strategy. I always find that when I pick my fabric first I find it harder to find a pattern that will work. Maybe you could talk about that in a future video, choosing a pattern to go with your collection.
Hi Pat. My first sewing experience was also in home ec in 8 th grade. Fell in li e from the get go! First project was a blue jean purse made from an old pair of jeans. Lead to making nearly all of my baby brothers cloths. Made his baby gowns, the jammies and sun jumpers. Started quoting as an adult. Please let me know what you are doing with your leftover corners. I have a basket full was thinking about little pinwheels for mug rugs
I fell in love with the Flour Garden line and ended up redecorating my studio to coordinate with the fabric.
Love the mackinaw fabric.
Thanks for the April Activities Pat! They’ve motivated and inspired me. Be well. 😊 🌷 🌷 🌷
Everything goes well tog except the mustard color.
I started learning how to sew with my grandmother on her treadle sewing machine which I know own. You know I still haven’t gone through the drawers as I guess that’s keeping her with me. But really it was home ec that taught me clothing construction. A bib apron was the 1st project which I thought was stupid. Who wore an apron? Me now & I have a collection. Just recently I went through a box of items from my Mom’s & there was the apron. I need to add it to the collection. I enjoy your chats whether they’re the short dailies or the fireside. There’s learning, observing & just chit chat. Glad this will continue in May.
How about Make May Memorable?
We are trying to support local restaurants twice a week to help them and get tasty food for us!
I'm here, I'm here. Love you Pat. You have helped me so much on my new quilting craziness.
Thanks for the color lesson. That is my weak spot. Have a blessed day.
What was the Charm Quilt book?
I too change out the decorative quilts in my house by the seasons. I also try to do this with table runners & placemats.
I never took home ec. My mom taught me to sew clothes. Hated it. When I had my daughter, I did sew some clothes for her. But I found my true passion for sewing when I decided to learn to quilt! It’s my number one hobby❣️🧵✂️
Maybe you could do Laura Heine’s dress form collage pattern for a wall hanging in your studio? You could change it to have some of the bottom be a wire form. That way it could be in your studio😊
Love Mackinaw Island! Such a beautiful place to visit! Going to make my husband a quilt for our King bed 😳
My grandmother and my mom taught me to sew. And when I did sewing in school I got a "c" for a grad. Because I did it the way I was taught from my grandmother and my mom and the way the teacher told us how to do it. But I do like to make my clothes. Thank you you do keep me motivated.
What about using the white, yellow, blue fabric with the counted cross stitch bird in a table runner. Really enjoyed the color session
I am not a FB fan but I do watch you everyday on UA-cam and try to remember to "Like" because I realy do! l am keeping up with the Stay at Home QAL and since I will be staying home in May as well, perhaps we could do a Still Staying Home QAL? Thanks for all you do!
do you have other books if so where can i get one of
the other books
YAY! THANK-YOU FOR CONTINUING THE DAILY CHALLENGE IN MAY.
