Loved the box and yes, I agree the fabric is super cute for little girl clothes. Cheers to your dad and manhattens! What a great memory. Thanks for sharing!
Julie always sends wonderful bundles! I love her website! And I totally agree with what you said about her. She is lovely. Thanks for introducing her company to me! Great story! Have a great day!
When I was 8, my sister and i, along with our favorite teenaged babysitter, were horsing around and my sister fell into a brass table with my mom’s beautiful tea set from somewhere in the orient. We broke or chipped almost every piece. You know we sat there and glued it all back together and she didnt know it until 40 years later when she noticed a small crack in one of the piece. It was a thanksgiving and my sister and i were there. It was quite a lovely moment of laughing and remembering. Mom couldnt believe it and laughed too.
What a great story!!! Loved the purple Tilda. Bloomers for River wouldn't matter if they came out some wrinkled and would be so cute! Hope you have a wonderful day
I loved your Dad story. I would gladly listen to one anytime 😂❤ today is my mom's birthday. She passed 4 years ago. Believe me when I say she was worse than your mom about everything. So I totally understand the situation. Love it and love you!!!😊
As always I love the fabrics but it’s the stories and breathing that keep me coming back 🙂 The story of dad so reminds me of the times. With my parents it was martinis but it also reminded me of all the wonderful days of Mad Men and I must rewatch that whole series again this summer. If you haven’t watched it you must.
Kids grow so fast, I think I would start making her little dresses or tops now for River, also a cute little jacket with a hood would be sweet also. Love those buttons, I would be tempted to sew them into something just like they are in a circle, for a fun design.
I miss my dad too. Sigh. Big hugs to you. Thank you for introducing us to Intrepid Fabrics. Holly has a lovely store. The Tilda fabrics are gorgeous! I can’t wait to see what you make with them!
Happy Monday! My weekend was very good, with a bit of sewing on Saturday, and a whole day of working on props for Midsummer Scream with the haunt group Mr O & I are in on Sunday. The feeling of accomplishment makes up for the sore muscles today, LOL. Anyway, on to the boxes! Gotta laugh at myself a bit here. When you were opening the Colors of Tilda packet, I was thinking "How strange, these don't look like their typical fabrics..." when I suddenly realized I was confusing Tilda with Tula Pink. Very different styles indeed! The third one in the bundle with the cream/white background is particularly nice, as is the one right after it with the blue-tinted flowers (which should NOT have taken four attempts to spell correctly) against the pinkish-purple background. Heck, let's face it, they're all beautiful. I like that they included a coordinating solid with all the prints. As for the Tilda Club box, they have really good documentation. They tell you everything that's in the box, and at the same time they keep it pretty generic for the most part by saying (for example) "zipper charm" instead of, say, "antique brass butterfly zipper charm." It's the perfect balance between no documentation at all, and so much documentation that it spoils the surprise. And I was definitely surprised by the buttons - the documentation said "four buttons" so I thought literally four buttons. How delightful that it's four packets, each one a little different but similar enough that you can mix-and-match between them. (I can't believe I'm this excited over **buttons** of all things, LOL). The zipper pouch embellishment box is wonderful - such pretty colors, and I love that the zippers match the tassels. And I have *got* to make one of those seat belt cushions. Actually I need to make several - driver side of my car, passenger side for when Mr O is driving, and a third one for passenger side of his truck. Yes, this is a very good box indeed!
Dad story- One Thanksgiving my hubby, cousin's hubby and my dad were talking about lunch boxes while watching football. My dad dropped off to sleep for a short nap. During his slumber, the subject changed from lunch boxes to jock straps. Dad woke up to say "We only got paper bags when I was in school"
STILLETO, PULL APART FOR SHARP END TO APPEAR. I did that in caps to get your attention. I have one and it was hard to pull apart at first. Loved your story. You are a HOOT! Loved your unboxings, so awesome. I will have to check it out. Thank you for sharing and making us laugh. Have a wonderful week 😊.
If your seatbelt is not comfortable, you can adjust where it lands on your shoulder by moving the spot where it comes out of the side of the car. You can slide it up and down. I saw a video about this. I will try to find it and email it to you.
Hello beautiful lady! The Tilda fabric is very pretty 😍, Thank you for introducing Intrepid Threads, that was a very nice box. I love the dad story, thank you for sharing. I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!! Sending hugs...
Your parents found exciting to be around. I was 37 when my Hollie was born. She says she has the best Mom in the world! I love that girl Thanks for sharing. Be blessed and happy❤my friend.
Hi Holly, the Tilda fabric is so pretty and those buttons are cute. That's a funny story about your dad and a super cute picture at the end. The anniversary of my dad's passing is coming up on June 30. It's been 17 years. I just lost my mom 4 days ago on June 20, she was 90 years old. I'm living in a fog, my brain isn't working and I don't like this feeling. You look very pretty today. See you next time.
Hi Holly, here's a fast, and tasty recipe for "lasagna ". -One bag of frozen stuffed ravioli -One jar of spaghetti sauce -Cooked ground beef ( if your hubby is like mine, and wants meat with every meal). -shredded bag if mozzarella cheese -put some sauce in the bottom of your pan. ( size depends on how much you want to make. You can make 2 and freeze one). -put frozen ravioli on top of sauce. Add some ground cooked and burger, and layer with some cheese. -repeat for a second layer. -cover with foil and bake 350 for 40 minutes. This freezes well too. Add a salad and some good bread for a yummy Italian dinner. ❤
The Tilda Fabric is beautiful! And the zipper bag embellishment kit was super nice. My favorite go-to recipes right now are Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and Pumpkin Curry made in my crockpot if you would like the recipes, let me know. Loved your Dad story! See you next video!
Great box!!! As for dinner, throw a Mississippi pot roast in the slow cooker. You can have it with mashed potatoes one day and use the leftovers for roast beef sandwiches the next.
@DandelionStitches Mississippi roast uses a few pepperoncini peppers, a pack of ranch dressing mix, a pack of au jus mix, and I add a regular pack of gravy mix and a bit of water. Put it all in the slow cooker and let ot go until it falls apart.
Holly I just ❤️ your stories. That’s funny,😂😂 Julie is just precious from Intrepid Threads, I had to email her to change something, she took care of it for me within a couple hours and it was late night. Amazing person. Yes I received my Tilda bundle, close to same fabrics as yours. I love color and houses! Buttons too cute, thinking on a little something for Miss River??!!❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am. She is almost big enough now for the patterns to fit her. She was so tiny that the pattern sizes were all too big. She is over 8 lbs now. Kind of funny, her mother was 9llb 9 oz when she was born.
@@DandelionStitches I can’t wait to see what you make for her. I need another picture of her. We got cheated having kids, they were already big. Miss River was a perfect size for a baby.
The Tilda fabric would be super adorable for a baby sundress with matching ruffled bloomers! I used to make those for my daughter when she was little! ❤
These were great boxes. Omg that story with your dad had to be hysterical and sobering as soon as mom came home lol. Love it. Great photo of you and your dad. Have a great day! Cheers🍸 to your dad!
I love my Tilda colors each month. I was hoping for some of the new Creating Memories line but maybe next month! I got a brass seam ripper in mine and it took forever for me to figure it out! It was so tight but you pull it apart and the ripper was inside. I bet your stiletto is the same way. It was VERY hard to get apart! Thanks for the story, I always enjoy them!!
LOVE the notions in this box! Even like the fabrics this time. I'm off sewing for some time while my foot surgery heals. Time to catch up with my Detective books and cooking shows. My new favorite UTube recipe show is Come Sit at My Table. 2 Retired teachers from Kentucky show how to make lots of dinners and sweets.
Loved your dad story. I hope you get some good recipes. The kitchen and I are not friends. Two years ago my husband spent some time in rehab for PT; he still mentions how great their food was!
Holly, I’m so glad you have all dem bones, you wierdo😝🤣🤣 That fabric is beautiful! Those little clothing pcs for River wouldn’t have to be ironed, but I too would because I’ve always enjoyed ironing. I also sewed for our young children and nieces/nephews; it’s just sewwww much fun😍 Dad story- I can see the big picture as you say😵💫🙃🤫👏👏👏😜🥰. My parents drink of choice back then was a Martini🍸 and yep shared them big green olives: 2 per drink-4 children= everybody’s happy! Of course it was a treat to even go out for dinner! Ohhhh how they are both missed💓🕊️. Thank you for sharing your daddy and mommy with us🥰. That picture is awesome🥰. Have a great rest of the day and go sew!!! ❤️😀
Good morning Holly!! ☕️🌹 The Tilda fabric is so pretty, love them all but those ladies were really nice!! Do you have the name of that line? The box with all the zippers, trims, tags, etc, wonderful! Love the Daddy story and that pic is so precious of the two of you!! 🥹 Thank you for sharing that!
As I am getting older, cooking is not as much fun. Coming up with a menu is a chore, lol. Just saying. The Creating Memories box was a quilter’s delight of notions and patterns. Laughter is good for the soul. Thank you for sharing your father’s memory.
Dude, your dad doesn't look round at all in the picture. You were an entirely adorable child. I hate tornado weather, it makes me so nervous. It makes my dogs nervous too. Maybe we all don't like the barometric shift, I dunno. Hope the bad weather cooled it down for yall at least.
I meant to ask you at the Pink Chahoeyhoey if those pink round circles were the thingies that you plant cause they're wild flowers? The funniest thing - I got a subscription box (might have been Natalie's of Ginger Quilter) that had what I thought was flower seed paper and I put it out in my flower pot, tossed some potting soil on top then started watering. Suddenly the soil started erupting and turns out it was a dish cloth! Bout' peed myself from the fright and laughing. I'd put that Intrepid Thread ribbon around the stiletto - looks nice and chunky. Oh! You could use it in your hair like a pencil! Well, that might be to heavy? When my hair was long I used very ornate letter openers - they looked like knives, never knew when one would come in handy. The new Tilda patterns are really nice - I plan on getting some of the Christmasish line. Ohhh - cool bag kit. Can't go wrong with Kimberbell embellishments, very pretty zipper colors. Those would look good on the by Annie Drop Zone pouches. I like the size of that car strap buddy. I have the sheep skin ones on all the car straps but they get rather hot if the AC isn't running. Great box! So this was like a stash buster box? Cute picture Holly.

The FQ fabrics are so, so pretty! Th project box is packed with so much funness!! Funny dad story!! Lol
Love the Tilda buttons.
Love your stories. The fabric is beautiful.
When I was 8, my sister and i, along with our favorite teenaged babysitter, were horsing around and my sister fell into a brass table with my mom’s beautiful tea set from somewhere in the orient. We broke or chipped almost every piece. You know we sat there and glued it all back together and she didnt know it until 40 years later when she noticed a small crack in one of the piece. It was a thanksgiving and my sister and i were there. It was quite a lovely moment of laughing and remembering. Mom couldnt believe it and laughed too.
What a great story!!! Loved the purple Tilda. Bloomers for River wouldn't matter if they came out some wrinkled and would be so cute! Hope you have a wonderful day

Doesn't always help. I've tried mine in every position it has, and it still slips. It's even worse now that I've switched to sports bras.
Sweet picture!
Hello beautiful lady! The Tilda fabric is very pretty 😍, Thank you for introducing Intrepid Threads, that was a very nice box. I love the dad story, thank you for sharing. I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!! Sending hugs...

Great story! Thanks for sharing!

😅great story 😊
I loved that story, I get the acrimonious thing, my parents too. Don't you feel like you could write a book?!
I was 21 when I had my first baby
I love your videos. That brass stiletto should open up. Just try to pull it apart to get to the pointy part.
On further inspection it does open up to a very sharp stiletto. Pretty and lethal!
