SO excited for Vlogmas this year! Now that you have recuperated from your surgery (YAY!🎉), I don't know if we can keep up with you, but if Vlogmas is as much fun for you as it is for us, then we're all in for a rollicking December! It's got to be a ton of work though so thank you and just know that we appreciate you. You are a joy!
I'm so excited for your videos! Viewing your room with the quilts on the wall is so inspirational! Loving seeing you standing at the long arm. Makes me so happy! The pink tree and puppers were the icing on the cake. 😊
Hi Amy ! I enjoy spending time with you ! What will my quilt look like after washing if I don’t pre wash my quilt top but my flannel backing has been pre washed. ? Should I pre wash my cotton fabric also ? Looking forward to seeing you every day. 😊
Not sure if this is a snow or AMA question so I’ll answer it both places. Your quilt will be fine with mixed washed/non washed fabrics. The batting is going to shrink anyway and it will just add to the crinkle softness. I sometimes wash backing fabrics but almost never prewash anything else. And I mix is all up. All of my scraps are various stars of washed/starched/unwashed. I never notice a difference in the finished quilt.
I can’t believe you are giving away a hand quilted quilt! That’s a lot of work! You are such a good person. I am not that quick making a quilt as you are. Maybe you can give us some hints on how you cut, design and finish a quilt so quickly. I have approximately three cut out. Although I have been sick, just getting back to them. Thank you so much, I truly enjoy your videos. God Bless you and your family.
Hi Amy, Thanks for sharing ! What a great way to start December :) Is that an Elvis themed item , 4.48 min, on your table next to you unboxing that fun pink tree ? I was just singing along with Elvis in my head this morning :) I'm looking for a half tree, that's vertically half, to put against the wall, including lights would be great ! Looking forward to spending time through out December with you and your great vlogmas ideas, trips and coffee moments
Oy, my! I made the diamond string quilt after watching your tutorial. Mine is black, white, gray, pink and yellow. I'm considering making myself a jacket with it. Thank you for that tutorial.
I'm excited for the rest of your Vlogmas! That pink tree is certainly pink! I love the string quilt and the fact that you're hanquilting it too, and my favorite part of the video was seeing your furbabies ❤. Your GSD mix reminds me so much of my Noble who passed in July and Miss Maggie May, who we are adopting ❤
I love your little pink Christmas tree! Good to see you so happy! I also love that Casey came on the Vlogmas too, I was wondering if we would ever see him!
I’m so excited that you’re doing Vlogmas! I really enjoyed it last year and this year sounds like it will every bit as enjoyable! You always inspire me to try new things! ❤
Fun to watch you quilt on the longarm. I just finished a Christmas quilt using straight line quilting. When I finished I said "never again!" Now, a few hours after finishing it, it's looking better. However, I doubt I'll every do such a crazy thing again.🙃 Question for you: When are we going to see purple hair again?
So happy you are back at your longarm. That pink tree is perfect for you! Looking forward to spending December with you! For ask me anything- how do you organize your quilting time? Do you spend a certain number of hours every day? Do you change it up every day based on the rest of your life? Do you set a budget for yourself for quilting supplies? What is your favorite holiday recipe? Song?
Bought a pattern for 3 one yard fabrics. Supposed to be quick, so I chose Christmas fabrics. BUT I've still got a complex table runner kit unfinished and spread out around my cutting table and sewing machine. How do you shift focus without losing all motive to go back to a project that is put aside for something new? PS. I"m terrified of losing these 1 inch squares for the table runner project. Going to use baggies and boxes in an effort to keep some organization.
Hello Beautiful! So nice to see your hubby and son and some of your fur babies. ??? Do you mind sharing with us all of your animals? Do you mind if I ask how old you are? I love your style! I’m currently working on a scrappy diamond string Christmas Quilt. I picked up 3 bags of scraps at a thrift store and it has just blossomed. Looking forward to hanging out with you.
Have you ever visited The Cathedral of Junk in Austin. A few years ago, dear friends hosted us in Dallas and Austin. We saw the bats at sundown, ate far too much BBQ, made it to Fredericksburg (a must!) and explored Austin..including the Cathedral..hubby bought a hat and I really thought I needed red cowgirl boots. But settled for enchiladas mole!
@amydement. When I was in High School - about a lifetime ago ,- I worked with Lemurs at the Duke University Primate Facility (now the Lemur Center) feeding and caring for the Lemurs. It was a great job for a kid who loved animals. I have LOVED them ever since.
Hi Amy if you use L’Oréal purple shampoo damp you hair put plenty on rub it in and leave for 15 to 30 mins your hair will go purple just rub it in where you want it, it might help keep it longer between hair appointments. Hope this is helpful not interfering. Looking forward to Vlogmass. Xx❤

I love your little pink Christmas tree! Good to see you so happy! I also love that Casey came on the Vlogmas too, I was wondering if we would ever see him!
Thank you! Casey is always lurking in the background! He was reluctant to be on camera but I think he had fun!

Straight line quilting is a labor of love, but I totally get it! 😊 💜
Love the pink trees and the hand quilting on the string quilt.
Thank you
You are so positive and motivating! Looking forward to hanging out with you this month as i finish up sewing up Christmas!!
Thank you! I am so glad you’re here with me! 😊

This episode has a little bit of everything 👍🏼. Are you entering any quilt shows in 2025?
Thank you - great question!!

Love the organization effort! Questions noted ♥️
Great first day..really love the pink tree!
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you.
Brilliant to just keep quilting on the longarm, until the batting is used. Blessings and Joy for you and your family this holiday season.
Thank you! 😊
Love your vlogs! Where did you get the “Hello Beautiful “ neon sign? It is wonderful 😊
I’ll link it in tomorrows vlog

Not yet! It’s on the list! Mole is always a good choice 😊♥️
What is your favorite quilting thread and why? Where do you buy it? Is your longer automated?
♥️
What quilting magazines or art magazines do you like? Or what magazines do you like?
❤️
My non-quilting question is: What's it like living in southern Texas? Positive? Negative? BTW, I live in Kansas. 🙂
Good question! Thanks
I like your quikt on the wall 😊
Thank you! ♥️
Omgosh girl I want to play in your sewing room with puppies and toys lol
That would be awesome.
Sweet doggies! 😊
♥️😊 🐶
Is that a Lemur on your desk? They are my favorite wild animal.
Yes it is!

Amazeballs!!!
I have a 3ft lilac tree that i put up for Christmas!
That sounds lovely!
Cute pups 🐶🐶
Thanks!
I’m new and I’m sure this has been asked before but can you tell me about your family?
♥️
Your pink tree is fun
Thank you!
thx
I’m glad you’re here! 😊
I was loving your purple hair. What happened? 😍
It just fades really fast and I am lax on maintenance. Hopefully it’ll be back before Vlogmas ends. 😊
Hi Amy if you use L’Oréal purple shampoo damp you hair put plenty on rub it in and leave for 15 to 30 mins your hair will go purple just rub it in where you want it, it might help keep it longer between hair appointments. Hope this is helpful not interfering. Looking forward to Vlogmass. Xx❤
That’s great advice. Thank you!!!
Is that super Grover?
Yes indeed! 😜😊♥️
Would you like to do a collab with me after the holidays?
Tell me more but it’s almost definitely YES
@amydement. I'll message you
♥️
