Looks like my Quality Control team (me) missed that. I will edit that footage into a short video and get it posted within the next couple of days. Sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you so much. Glad that you are here.

Thank you for subscribing and your kind words about the project. So happy that you are here.

@@JacqualynMiddleton on my leaders, there is a pocket (like curtains have). I put my tubing in the pocket and use the tool to push it in.

@shamrockquiltstudio great, thank you!

At one time you could buy the leaders from Grace but I don't know if they're still available. The instructions have information about how to make your own. You can do a google search for it but I've attached the link to the instruction file I found on line this morning. When I bought my frame second hand, the previous owner had made her own. I ended up making a set for another one of the sizes. graceframe.com/frontend/images/instruction-pdfs/hand-frame/ez3_ff_instructions.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOoqhg2q1P9hjCCivA5T6k10bZaaHfmFfK50riGjKHKRwJxPILtUs

If you will send an email to shamrockquiltstudio@gmail.com before 11/20/24, I will be happy to email a pdf to you.

I did a web search for Christmas light clipart and copied a simple one to use

You're welcome 😊

Thanks for watching.

This is one of my favorite projects and can't wait to cuddle up under it.

You can’t beat the price!❤

Thank you! 😊

You're welcome 😊 So glad you are here. More fun things coming each week, stay tuned.

Thank you! I really love the way it came out. Second video wraps it up next Wednesday. Our December BOM is also really cute. That video will be out November 27th. Thanks for watching.

Well, that's fun. Thanks for watching.

That's great to hear. Glad to have you here.

I agree. I didn't see it either. The mistake is a sign that a human made it rather than a computerized machine. I'd leave it!!

Thank you. It is a little scary and sometimes the results aren't exactly what you hoped for but it's a great way to learn.

You are exactly correct. I do like to correct my mistakes if I can once I know about them, if I can. Thank you so much for watching.

Thanks for sharing! Glad you're here.

Yes, I thought of that as well. I will likely film my repair whenever that happens. Thanks for watching.

Oh my! So glad you were able to fix the other three. It's really hard to catch those errors when we have been seeing those designs so much.

It's definitely not a priority. I will probably fix it after the holidays. I had fun making this quilt. The blocks are easy and it's quick to put together.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! You should give it a try.

Thanks for watching. I've heard that expression as well. I'll probably fix it at a later date.

Thank you, I love it!

Thank you, I think so, too!

I usually only use pins when I need to ensure that the fabrics don't shift and I always try to remove them before stitching over them but sometimes, they don't get removed. Of course, it would be a better practice to never sew over them but I don't worry too much about it. I do change my needle frequently. Thanks for watching.

You comment made me laugh! I was definitely traumatized that day. Anything that could go wrong did go wrong. It is much easier to start with a smaller project. For this one, my backing fabric was much larger than my quilt top and batting. Had I trimmed it down first, I think it would have been easier. Thanks for watching and for the giggle.

As I recall, those aluminum connectors that go between the aluminum rods are specially shaped to fit into the interior of the bars. If you could find something that would fit the interior and support the place the rods are joined, it should work. You might need to fasten the rods together some how. You only need to use that if you want to use the largest size which I think is about 90". You should be able to use the two smaller sizes without that connecting piece. I did a quick search of the Grace website and didn't see where they offered parts but it might be worth a call or email to them to see if they have any suggestions.

I tried keeping a quilting diary but I found that I frequently "forgot" to make the notes I needed. If I need to remember something about a project, I will pin a note to it. I also have the ability to review my videos for other information. When I am hand quilting, I usually leave straight pins with colorful heads marking where I am.

@@shamrockquiltstudio Thanks great idea about pinning a note. I too could not do a diary but pinning a note to a specific piece is a great idea. I have started and stopped several projects and had no idea where I left off or what my thoughts were for the project. Thanks

From a practical aspect, I use most of my quilts in my home. Bed sized quilts are used seasonally. Some projects are designed and created specifically for studio decoration and those get rotated to keep the wall art from being static. Smaller projects are also used in the home at specific times of the year. I created some videos early on and chatted about how I made them. You could check out the playlist, "Show and Tell" to see some of those. I am considering a video trunk show during the winter to discuss some other quilts.

Wonderful! So glad to have you here. I will have one more Quick Christmas project starting very early November. Please join me for that one as well. We have many projects in our playlists!

Glad it was helpful. I am currently working on an EPP project called "Springburst!" It's a design as you go. You can see all the episodes on the playlist. I plan to do an EPP project on the Lucy Boston design in 2025.

I agree. If you're feeling like you don't like it, pivot and use those pieces another way. You can always come back and do the Lucy Boston with me in 2025.

You are so welcome! I am planning to cover more techniques and tips in these short videos in 2025. There's always someone working on their first project and the vocabulary around any kind of craft or trade can be very confusing.

WOW! That's great for a beginning EPPer. I haven't selected fabrics for Lucy Boston yet.

Just make sure you prewash that flannel as flannel can shrink a good bit when washed and dried.

Thanks again.

For this particular project, all the fabrics came from Hobby Lobby. I used Kona white for the background fabric. "Side Stripe Red" for the sashing 1800788. "Greenery Tiny Dot" is the green 1567544. "Red/White Dot" is the binding and berries (four patch) 914952. The center dot on each block is "Tonal Starburst" 1824622. The fabrics range from $5.99 to $7.99 per yard. The Kona is $9.99 per yard. The stripe fabric is part of the Christmas fabrics. I found the Tonal Starburst in the regular fabric section but it could have been misplaced. I believe the red and green dot fabrics are available most of the year. I did not capture a picture of the backing fabric (red and green dot on white) but it was part of their holiday collection as well. Thank you for you interest AND watching the video. I have two more episodes coming and will reveal the finished project soon. I love it!

@@shamrockquiltstudio Thank you so very much, your fabric selection is PERFECT!♥♥♥

I try to clean my bobbin area each time I start a new project or if I'm having any problems with sewing. Remember not to "blow" the area with canned air as it will only move the dust further into the machinery. Good Luck!

Thanks for watching. I'm just editing the last two videos now but I absolutely LOVE how it turned out.

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching the videos!

You're right! I do not have convenient access to an actual quilt store, so I just do the best I can.
