Oh my.... you got me when you said "if you were alive in the nineties...." 😂 I love the crazy quilt style. My grandma used to entertain me in the fifties by getting out her pillowcase full of fabric scraps and she would help me make crazy quilts for my dollies. In the seventies, I made them for curtains in my daughter's bedroom. I'm so glad that tradition is being carried on. It warms my heart.😊
LOVE crazy quilting!!! I go thru phases where I just sew small pieces together randomly. I dont worry about shape or size. When i run out of straight edges, i just whack thru it w my rotary cutter to create a straight edge and keep going! When its a good size, I cut a 6.5in square out of it, and use the cut offs to start the next block!! When I have enough 6.5in squares, I add sashing and have a bright and fun quilt!!
In the 80’s I made a lot of crazy quilted Christmas stockings as gifts using scraps of fancy fabrics, bit of lace, trim scraps and antique buttons. They weren’t difficult, people loved them and they looked quite elegant. A lot of teachers got them a Christmas gifts because teachers only need so many traditional apples.
I love these; so very cute. I am so very cheap, I could not waste any fabric. I normally strip pieces exactly to size while saving every inch of fabric I can. Oh, I was one of those doing crazy quilting starting in the late 70s. Made my wedding quilt out of crazy quilt squares. Then in the 80s and 90s I did custom vests out of crazy quilt with lots of embroidery, lace, charms, any kind of embellishments I could find. My creations were the "craze" around town, LOL! I still have some vests that I wear to my quilt quild meetings. Still love working in this style.
@@PinCutSew I've been thoroughly enjoying more of your videos. You have a sweet demeanor and are delightful to watch. I just saw your house tour video. I love your home. Thanks for sharing your crafting and personal life!
I make crazy quilt blocks by machine. Then I use the many, many decorative stitches on my sewing machine to top stitch along the seams in any thread I think will show up. It's a good way to use up thread and bobbins.
I made my first crazy pumpkin coaster (my first crazy quilting anything) with your tutorial and template and I think I may have a new addiction starting. This was fun! Thank you for sharing and I'm so glad I found you on here.
Love this,and it’s pumpkin time again!🎃🎃 your very talented and you have such a fun way of explaining and teaching! The tailors chalk is amazing my Mom, bless her sewing soul, was a professional seamstress, her specialty was slip covers, and she always used tailors chalk. I’m going to give these a go, as I have lots of scraps! ❤
I just caught your show today. Been sewing for 65 years but you are never too old to learn. I have picked up some tips from you. Neat quick tips. I was taught formal sewing or in other words, tailor tacking, pin everything, base stitch everything and so on. My stuff always looks great but wow what a lot of extra work. Did it that way for years and still know how to do it but I have cut way back on all the steps. I can make an outfit in pretty much a day and a half, and have it look as good as it did when I did all the extra steps. As far as your wool pad being on your cutting board, I bought a silicon pad from Amazon that goes in a hot press iron for vinyl, and I put that under my wool pad. I believe it's about 3/8" thick. It of course can take the heat, but it also protects my cutting mat as that is where I have to press. I built my cutting table and it's 6' x 4' and I have no where other than there I can press so it works out great. I miss my other table. It was 8' x 10', but I moved everything to the basement because pellets got too expensive and gave up my shop. Thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely be using many of your ideas.
My Grandma who taught me a lot about sewing, was alive in the '90s -- the 1890's !! Sometimes it amazes me how quickly time passes, and how closely we are tied to times past.
Mickey, these pumpkin coasters are adorable and the square one is just as adorable as the round one! It’s great that your Mom is living near you now! My mom lived right beside me until she passed away in 2005. Enjoy sewing together and I know you cherish every moment with her. Thanks for all you share with us on TH-cam! Have a great week and good luck with the tiling!❤😊
Very cute! I'm thinking that a larger size would make great potholders. I'd just need to use all cotton batting & thread. Thanks for such a fun project that uses scraps.
I'm a rookie at sewing. I got a wool pad as a gift and I thought it's thick enough to absorb heat. I ironed on it over my cutting board and yep, my board is now warped. But it's an old board for cutting paper so I can still use it. I just now need to get a dedicated sewing fabric cutting board.
Fun, fun, fun! Thanks for sharing all the neat tutorials, you make it so easy. I've wanted to learn how to do this for years.Have a blessed week everyone.
Have you ever done a handsew tutorial? I love them. When had knee replacement right in middle of COVID, I had portable cutting and ironing board. And I hand sewed mask and donated them to recovery center for women. Learned from Twins day where all patterns were hand made and sewn. Would love to see you hand sew a crazy block.
I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this video. This full well knowing that I just made a tutorial for a pocket that took forever and had to be refilmed and now has to be edited while I cringe that I did it wrong and forgot at least 10 things. 😂 But I wanted to make crazy quilted coasters for the car, and I did, but you are such a great teacher that I would've had way less trouble if you had taught me. So please know that I will continue to patiently wait for whatever tutorial you do fully aware of how much time and energy it takes. Also ugh, tile. I've done so many tile countertops and floors and backsplashes that I totally feel your pain. I really felt your pain when you were sanding drywall that you had to mud. Yikes. You go girl. We're going to redo our bathroom and we are definitely calling a tile guy. #worthit
Nikki- your ideas are so fantastic!!! I’m happy that mom is close to you; as mine is in heaven🥰. I’ve got this on my wannado list!!! Thank you for the pattern and all your creativity👏👏👏 Keep up the good work 🙏🏻✝️🥰❤️😀
Hi, Nikki! I'm new to your channel and just love this tutorial! I will definitely make these for my daughters who are both teachers! I know they will love them! Thanks for the inspiration and the free pattern! Blessings to you and your family!!!
Very cute! Thanks for the tutorial! Just an FYI - Pilot Frixion Pens work great on fabric and disappear with heat. I couldn't get by without them for some of my projects.
Just ran into you, on sorting and sorting fabric. Liked your voice and presentation so got hooked. Watched all the thumbnails of you. Now going to go to your site and learn some more. Great tutorial. I am all about crazy anything. I just believe I have more scraps than anyone. All sizes. 1.5 inches is not to small, unless I am tired. I used to get up and go to bed and leave everything as is. This year made it a goal to straighten up. So, it is a nicer feeling to walk into a semi clean area and can still find what I need to continue.
Re: Ironing with steam on a wool mat over a cutting mat causing the mat to warp. VERY TRUE!!!! I learned this lesson the hard (expensive!) way. If I'm working in a limited space, I have a piece of thin wood that I put between my wool mat and cutting board to keep warping from happening. I've heard that you can use a heat gun to un-warp a cutting mat quickly, but haven't tried that. Also heard that you can put your mat out on a flat concrete surface in the hot sun for several hours and that will also unwarp the mat. TBD. Anyway, steam pressing over a cutting mat is not worth (literally) the gamble. Thanks so much for the pumpkin template!!! Can't wait to try making some.
The thin wood pieces (2) I bought as rectangular sign decor (Easter? Halloween?) from Dollar Tree. Glued the sign fronts together (need to clamp them) to eliminate the possibility of sparkle or paint transfer onto my wool mats. Much cheaper than a piece of thin wood from Home Depot.@@PinCutSew
@@PinCutSewI made my own small ironing board that was backed with a piece of wood. This worked perfectly to put on top of my cutting mat so I did not warp it. I had limited table top space so they had to be on top of each other.
I’ve been binging your channel since I subscribed a few days ago. I love your energy, sense of humor, genuineness (is that a word?). You seem so intentional with every project you make. Found your handmade home tour very inspiring. I want to make all the crazy quilts now!
Hands down the book spine lamp is my favorite! I can’t wait to try and make one myself. I adore the acorn mushrooms and could be used in so many projects. Once a teacher always a teacher. You taught me to glue & paint wet air dry clay immediately to its intended destination, thank YOU. I love your channel. Ps. I liked the blue and white napkin better
You are so natural and encouraging. This is a really cute project for crazy quilting. A great way to use small scraps/ I have to try this now. Thank you!!!
Found you last night around 2 am. You were making a quilt with houses, trees, cars, and a haIf circle or 1/4 circle edge. Loved your process and your easy way of explaining, and destressing the whole thing. I want to make quilts in the worst way, but getting all the pieces to match and sewing them so they fit drives me crazy. Also, I'm very challenged when It comes to colors and putting them together, I know what I like, but its the putting them together that is a little wonkey. maybe I'm not cut out to make quilts, but I dooo want to. I'm crazy busy right now, but give me a couple of months and I'm going to dive right in. Tks, I'm not sure that I have enjoyed a sewing, quilting segments on TH-cam, and I love TH-cam. Thank you so much.
Oh I really loved this crazy quilting! I would love to see you do a quick tutorial of how you did it when you sewed it by hand. Definitely going to make some yardage with this technique and use it to make some cute bags! Also I ran over to amazon and bought the little scissors lol thank you.
These are adorable Nikki! I don’t decorate for holidays much anymore, but I may have to make an exception here, because these are too cute AND USE UP SCRAPS! I am also a papercrafter, so it might be fun to translate these into fall cards as well! I love the idea of putting a cute flower or critter at the center to highlight it, and then build your quilt block around it. Have you made a quilt in this way? If so, please share it on your channel! I really like your journal cover too. I have a stash of composition notebooks that I might need to figure out dimensions to make into personalized journal covers for gifts. Thanks for inspiring me today, as usual!
These are awesome!! My bestie loves what she calls cozies… soft coasters she puts like a lid on her hot tea mug. She’s also a big seasonal decorator… guess what she’s getting this week !? I’ve added some spices in earlier ones I made her… will try that again when quilting the lines on!

A crazy quilted bookmark sounds cute
I'm not much for seasonal decorating but your little pumpkins are very cute.
Thanks for sharing your pattern with us, very kind. I really haven’t tried crazy quilting. Starting with coasters is inspiring. ❤❤
This looks sooo cute and super fun. I know what I'm doing today! Thank you for this tutorial and also providing the free template.
thanks this was great, I will try a pumpkin for sure. I love to crumb quilt so this is very close. Thanks
Adorable
Thanks for the pattern. First time crazy quilting!! May try hand piecing!!

Super cute!! You are so lucky to have your Mom live near you. I live 700 miles from one daughter and 1100 from the other...in different directions.
Love these. Hope you will do a Christmas pattern💕
thanks for doing this.. I've been a sewing slump, so giving me a simple project to break out of it!
Yay, hope to see your mom in a future video. Happy for you Nikki. Would love a tutorial on the bird garland in your studio. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute! It's nice to get ideas not only for using scraps but also ideas for small quick projects. Thanks!
Love this tutorial! ❤thank you for sharing 🥰

I make Scrappy Hearts like that, but I dont turn them and I zig zag around the outside, add a bow and a hanger and call it done. 💚💚💜💜

These are adorable...thanks for sharing!

Very cute! I'm thinking that a larger size would make great potholders. I'd just need to use all cotton batting & thread. Thanks for such a fun project that uses scraps.
Pot holders would be so cute! Use wool felt for the stem if you do that, or make a cotton stem, cause the poly felt will melt.

I truly enjoyed your video. Your creativity is contagious. I am going to make some of your pumpkin coasters🌸😊
Thanks for showing us how to do that and for the pumpkin pattern. Going to try it
Too cute! More please. Thank you for sharing.
Pumpkin is so cute!
Cute idea. Looks like fun to ‘crazy’ quilt!
These are sooooo cute!!! Love them!!!
Thank you Nikki these are so cute . I made 22 of them for a German group October fest
Wow, awesome!
I sew enjoy your channel & how you instruct. Thank you!!
Ive been looking for hand sewing quilt squares like.what you described. Very clever will keep learning. Thanks.
Thank you for this timely tutorial
Love love love these. I made 6 already
Only been quilting a short time and love this idea for my scraps!
These are awesome!!
My bestie loves what she calls cozies… soft coasters she puts like a lid on her hot tea mug. She’s also a big seasonal decorator… guess what she’s getting this week !?
I’ve added some spices in earlier ones I made her… will try that again when quilting the lines on!
Ohhhh that’s a neat idea! ❤️😀
