Dear Kelly-in-Oakville, I, too, am in Oakville! Small, small world. 2024 has been a bit of a challenge for me in the Life Department, so I have not made any videos since April. Hoping to remedy that soon in the next week or so. If you are interested in quilting, the closest best place to go is Warm-n-Cozy over in Columbia, IL. There is also a quilt shop in Arnold and there is Heyde's on Tesson Ferry. I'm sure you've heard of Jackman's although that's a bit of a trek for Oakvillians. But, Jackman's is the only one I know of who carries any EPP stuff. But Warm-n-Cozy is my Happy Place. My home away from home. Have fun with it all!!! xo

@ I hope that life calms for you soon 🤞🏼. I look forward to your next video! And thank you so much for all the great tips! ☺️ ~K

@sparrowhawkerdesigns Oh! Also, have you heard of The City Sewing Room? It is fabulous! So many kind folks. Almost all their quilting/fabric/sewing/notions are $2 a pound! All donations for charity. It’s a little bit of a trek, but totally worth it! 🧵🪡🎉

Thank you so much! xo

Thank you for watching! I am unfamiliar with what IFAQH is or what it stands for, but it sounds like a lovely idea. I stitched these hearts as a thank you gift for an exchange that I had years ago. xo

Thank you! And thanks for watching. xo

Me too! So happy to hear from people who like the less frilly stuff. Thank you for watching. xo

Welcome and thank you! If you don't know how to embroider, slow stitching is the PERFECT place to start. I hope you have fun with it. xo

Thank you! xo

Thank you! I hope you have fun! xo

Thank you! xo

Thank you, so much! It was so fun to make. xo

Oh good! Have fun with whatever you make. Thank you for watching. xo

The back is done exactly like the front. Then you stitch them together. (I just left the edges raw instead of "hiding" the seam.) If you don't want the extra bulk of two pieces of batting, then just stitch one side onto batting, the other side you can just stitch on to a piece of cotton or an old sheet or something, then sew the two pieces together. Or if you don't want to sew them together, you can glue them together. Thanks for watching!

@@sparrowhawkerdesigns thank you so much for clarifying - I LOVE your creations !!

Thank you so much 😊

You can use whatever you want! I personally don't use glue because if I would make a last minute decision to change something around, all I have to do is snip the thread and move everything. I also just don't like to use glue, I guess, because I don't know if, over time, it will turn colors or not? But there are no rules to this and whatever way works best for you is what you do! Thanks for watching! xo

I either use cotton or an 80/20 mix. 80% cotton and 20% poly. But you can use anything. Also, you don't have to use batting, you can use felt, wool, a thicker piece of fabric, an old quilt, like, literally anything. Thanks for watching! xo

Thank you, so much! xo

Thank you so much 😊

You're welcome! I hope you have fun with it. Thanks for watching. xo

@@sparrowhawkerdesigns You’re so welcome & thank you for sharing your designs & God-given talents.

@joybells57 I bought the turning cutting table off Amazon, the glue sticks from my regular quilt shop, but you can also get them on Amazon. The templates I got off Etsy and the papers from PaperPieces.com. Although you can get the templates and the papers from both Etsy and PaperPieces. I just buy stuff when I see it. :-) Thank you for watching.

Thank you! I noticed that after a few months some of the glue had lost its stickiness. I haven't really left mine for years or anything, so I don't really know. But, honestly, most of the time when I pick something up months later, it's still holding. And usually if it has come undone it's usually just a little part here or there, not usually the whole thing. If you are going to leave yours for a couple of years before you start stitching, basting would probably be better. Thank you for watching! xo

Thank you so much! xo

Thank you! Oh, and thank you on the "informality" comment. One of the complaints I get about my tutorials is that they aren't professional and I talk too much! :-) xo

Thank you!

Thank you very much! xo

You are so welcome. Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like my work. xo

Thank you!

Thank you very much!! So happy you liked it. xo

I have a few different mediums that I use and it's been so long since I made this that I'm not sure which one I used. It's possible, since it's never going to be washed that I just used an acrylic paint. However, I also have fabric paints that I use. And permanent markers. It could have been any of the above. There are several different brands of fabric paint, I use both Jacquard and the Folk Art fabric paint. Hope this helped! xo
