#quiltvideo - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Pat, I rarely comment but want you to know I watch you every day. I love your videos. They’re always entertaining and I usually learn something. I take care of my mom who has dementia so I need my quilting outlet. Your aqua colored quilt is stunning! Thank you for posting every day. I know it can’t be easy, but it is always enjoyed! 💕
Thank you for joining me 💕
I didn't start quilting till after my mom past away, she also had dementia, and I so wish I had started quilting sooner it would have been a wonderful stress outlet for me. Bless you for caring for your mom it is in no way an easy task. Some where inside your mom she is grateful for your care she just may not be able to express it. You are an angle
My mother-in-law's sister made her and my father-in-law a quilt as a wedding present in 1953. She let us use it for years. The fabrics in the blocks gave out, and my sister patched in another piece of fabric in different places when this happened. But over the years, it really started to fall apart, so I quit using it and just stored it. In 2016, our house flooded and in the clean up, i found the quilt and returned it to her. She was happy to get it back, no matter the condition, as her sister had passed away years ago. My first large bed quilt was a replica of the pattern of that quilt, except I put sashing between the blocks. I still use it on my bed as it reminds me of the original.
I am the first quilter that I know of in my family. My grandmother did crochet and baked. My husband has a lot of quilts from his mom that she made for him though. She is the one that got me into quilting 🥰
“My head is loud and busy enough” love it! Me too 😂
My grandfather had 6 sisters and they all quilted. When they would visit I would watch them try to teach my mom to quilt. But she never did make one. So quilting skipped a couple of generations until it landed on me. Lol. I would give anything to have one of their quilts. They hand pieced and hand quilted. I have made it a point to give my grandchildren a quilt made by me with the hope they get to pass it on. None of my daughters have taken up quilting either.
How different we are I love classic music or 1960-1990 while quilting and piecing ❤
Blues and rock'n roll for me, with a side of new Americana, when I'm working in my quilt studio. Even sing along, but only when alone, because my singing voice sounds EXACTLY like my younger sister's, who was unceremoniously asked to not return to our First Methodist Church choir practice one evening: (choir leader's insistent rapping on the music stand with her conductor's wand-- "Somebody's off! Somebody's off! Then proceded to go down the rows, one at a time, to discover the guilty party. No amount of cringing behind her hymnal could save her.) Doesn't seem quite religious, does it? Our voices are like North Carolina mountain singers, and half a tone flat. Sorta like Gillian Welch, if you're familiar with her... ha When the going gets intricate, I can just focus on the work at hand and block out any noise in the area. Especially useful as an avid reader who doesn't like to be interrupted.
My Grandma made a quilt out of clothing and my Grandpa's socks. It was an awesome quilt and it was heavy. I don't know what ever happened to it. I have about 4 other quilts that she made. I also have quilts my mom made when I was little. One of them I helped with hand quilting it. Dad made a quilting frame for my mom and I still have it.
I love, love, love your aqua quilt! ❤❤❤
Your quilt reminds me of finding "lake glass" found on the beach!
Good morning this chilly Saturday from NH. Fall is in the air. Time to stash the summer clothes!!! Bring on the cider
Wow the unicorn quilt is sewwww cute!
I sew the exact same way . I like the peace and quietness while I’m sewing . It’s my mindless time to not think of anything and relax
Pat - hello. I’ve just discovered your channel recently and I have become a fan. Your creative quilts are wonderful and I love your wee laugh. You have become my wake up video everyday now. So a big thank you🤗🤗🤗
Excellent machine quilting advice!
I never was interested in quilting and found your channel by chance ( per you tube suggestion just this month).Now I'm trying do not miss your live streams, soo inspiring and positive. So I bought some fabrics and now looking for a quilting book for a beginners. Thank you 🍁💗🍵
There are/were no other quilters in my family. My Nanny (paternal grandmother) was an amazing seamstress, but no quilting (she also did other needlework/tapestry/cross-stitch). I fell in love with quilts as a child... probably from my love of reading (Little House on the Prairie?) and the books I read mentioning Quilts. Anyhow, I decided to learn, and I love it. I'm not great at it, but I think the people I have made quilts for have loved them (4 of my 5 kids and 1 grandchild). Thank you for continually putting out materials that helps people like my feel confident enough to keep moving forward!
Thanks Pat, and Greg, for the aerial view of your local area. As a Sydney resident, it’s always interesting to see where people live in other countries.
Watching Angela Walter's quilting videos really inspired and gave me the courage to attempt free motion machine quilting. I was so nervous to attempt it before, afraid it would look terrible. She says "A finished quilt is better than a perfect pieced top." Once I tryed it, I loved it. I don't have a stitch regulator on my machine, so sometimes my stitches are uneven. If you look so are Angela's. And she's a professional quilter. She quilts Tula Pink's quilts. Overall it looks great. Now I have fun quilting clouds, swirls, stars, hearts and whatever else I think up. Always doodling designs on paper to learn muscle memory.
I have one of the last quilts my grandmother made before she started to lose her eyesight. It was quilted by a friend of hers.
I am blessed to have two quilts made by aunts, my dad’s sisters, given to me as wedding gifts; that will soon be 56 years. I also have two make by older sisters. One from my sister has many repairs because it has been much used.
In regard to music while sewing, my friend and I sew on Wednesday at our senior center. When we have been working a long day, a group of line dancers come in across the hall with some peppy music. When they ask if we’re bothered by their music. We say oh wow it gets us going again😊.
Love your quilts you have.
Love the aqua squares!!
I always use color catchers with each of my quilts to catch the dyes. Every time, no matter how old the quilt is.
I think the heirloom large churn dash quilt is beautiful and prefer it to a lot of “fancy” complicated quilts I see these days.
I love the teal squares so pretty! Reminds me of the beach
That's a really cool photo with the drone. Thank you Greg
I love the scrap-a-licious, the aqua is calming. You do so much beautiful stuff but my quilts of choice are scrappy. Thanks for everything.
Sadly my daughter’s mom-in-law, Branka Beslic, and I are the quilters in the family. And we both subscribe to Pat Sloan. 😊. No one seems to have sewn quilts. My mom-in-law crocheted an afghan as did my cousin (hers was a granny square one, plus one she got from her dad’s mom). So no quilts in my family. However, I made sure all 5 grandkids had quilts plus the ex of my daughter’s kids and step kids (3 step and 2 half to my one grandkid) had quilts toddler-sized quilts. I also sent queen-sized to the 3 adult kids. And my spouse has one. So I guess I am the grandma doing quilts. Ha ha.
My grandma was called ‘Mom-mom’, too. ❤️
I am “old” and have no one to ask about my grandma’s quilt. I assume it has fabrics that were used in her family’s clothing. It is shredded on the edges and have put it in a frame to show it off.
No quilt makers per se in my family. But I do have a small quilt I used for my dolls that someone made me as a small child. If I knew who made it I have long forgotten. It is not in great shape but it is packed away and saved. Still have my old doll crib that the quilt was made for as well.
Pat fun video today. Greg's shot of the city very 😎 cool
Beautiful colors. I have been slowly adding pink and orange fabrics. That would be a nice pattern to use
That churn dash quilt is such a treasure. One of my favorites too. I have two Sunbonnet Sue quilts that my great grandmother had made my mom. Although I love these quilts, Sunbonnet Sue is not really a design that I am particularly fond of…shhhhh….our little secret.
Perfect timing for the info on FMQ. I have FINALLY stopped being afraid of it. And I've completed three quilts in the last couple of weeks...one for my grandson with clouds, mountains, water, and dinosaur feet, the Boo Crew with spider webs, and then the Spooky Box with pumpkins and leaves. Each one has been easier, and better, than what I used to do. Just doing it is definitely the key. Thanks again for the encouragement.
I purchased a hoop frame for FMQ. You can put your domestic machine on it or a Longarm up to 19 inches. I also use stencils, I found that it helps me control my speed. There are also tear Aways or Pantographs that you put on the back of the frame and use a laser light with it.
I also love how my quilts look after they are washed and dried!
And thanks for the tip about using panels for free motion quilting. I have progressed in the past year and I like the idea of quilting on panels. I think I may even have 5😉
There you go!
Orvis is used to waste cow utters also! I'm having trouble getting from my farmers coop! Usually buy by gallon!
I love your aqua quilt. And the unicorn came out so cute. Thank you for sharing the family quilt and the tips. I’ve been free motion quilting my Halloween wallhanging this week. It really is practice that helps. ❤
Love your Scrapalicious!
I am late coming to you Pat 😢I have been watching all of your videos so I am totally wishing I could have seen you earlier in my quilting adventure.
I don't have an ancestor quilt. Best I can do is my grandfather who died in the 1780's left quilts to his daughters in his will. But they were not passed down. Careful with your music choices...slow music makes you work slowly, fast music, you work faster. Truth. And thanks for the drone pic. I love a bird's eye view.
I love your mother in law’s quilt. Those chunky churn dash blocks are fabulous. Have you ever reproduced them for a sew along?
I want to learn to use those quilting rulers. I don’t have any and I’m just using a home machine, so quilting is a chore. I got the large quilts long-armed.
Love the scrapalicious quilt!
The aqua quilt is stunning! So is the unicorn quilt! Pretty much every thing that you do is amazing and I love your work❤❤❤
What an amazing story for a quilt. My MIL made a paper pieced quilt for us 50 years ago and the filler was a drab olive green wool army blanket. It has long since worn out but she pieced it with love.
Love the fall quilt!! Show us more, please.
I'm so glad you answered someone's question regarding washing your quilts. I've asked a couple times previously and have waited for a reply. Regarding quilts made by family members - I'm so blessed. I have one only my mom made which is a tied flannel very heavy utilitarian quilt. She was not a quilter. I have quilts made by a lady who was like a mother to me, and a piece of the only quilt my mother-in-law made which was a sunbonnet sue, and quilts made by my husbands grandmother. One of hers is an album quilt and I got to meet the ladies whose names are on it over 50 years ago. I have other quilts too...one my neighbor gave me made by his grandmother and he is now 89 yrs old. I am blessed!
I love the FMQ advice of using panels. I get very frustrated when I practice on a small piece like a placemat and it looks fine. Then I try a larger lap size and it is so different to manipulate. I’m buying some panels this week!
Practicing on panels is an awesome idea. Your not messing up a patchwork you've spent alot of time putting together. Stopping and making myself relax and breathe makes a difference for me.
It really helps!
I also use old fabric, or fabric given to me that is old and not my style. No piecing necessary, just cut a couple of large pieces and scrap batting and practice
Good Saturday morning in cool fall in East Tennessee
I've never seen a purple radish but have seen a purple radish. LOL the unicorn quilt is so gorgeous I can't imagine any little girl not loving it! ❤️
I take the queen size quilts sideways on my bed to get the overhang
Oh My Stars! I love it! Those floral fabrics are really lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy your videos but somehow they are more fun while I am wearing my Sloan Zone tee shirt....Thank you for making these videos!
Great FMQ advice to do the panels. I quilt "by checkbook" partly because of spending 30+ years as a dental hygienist and now having arthritic hands. I admire those who quilt their own!
Thank you
My maternal grandmother and I made a yo yo quilt from scraps of all the fabric from clothing me and my sister made. I think there are 1200 yo you.
Start each day with a Pat Sloan video. Thank you for putting these out there for us to enjoy. My Granny did her binding like yours, and mine are also open down the side. How would you repair this binding?
you can see in the video how my MIL repaired it. I would cover it with a real binding. I never pull from the back to the front
Great tip on the panels and FMQ. I bought a whole bunch of the Hoffman flower panels a few years ago in different colors. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks again for all you do for us.
I am the first quilter in my family and my husband’s family, so nothing to share.
Thanks for the FMQ tips for panels. FMQ is the bane of my quilting existence. I've tried quilting with my walking foot, but really am a beginner at it. I will piece, hand quilt, and bind until the cows come home.
Lovely visit today! Love you aqua quilt. Panels make the best kids quilts. Gotta do free motion quilting so I can get UFOS finished. Pat Sloan Good Lord willing I'll catch you next week on line! Gotta look for your book too.
This one made with aqua is my favourite!
You really amaze me! The aqua quilt is so beautiful…I am cutting 2.5 inch squares to make one ..I’m am so inspired..thank you for encouraging me to keep trying free motion quilting…panels!!😂😂😂
Hi, Pat! I love to watch your videos every day. I did notice something in today’s video. You said a queen mattress was 60” x 60”. I’m sure you just mis-spoke, but it measures 60” x 80”. I wouldn’t want you to have it be smaller than you intended. 😊
Sadly, I have no such heirlooms. Both of my grandmothers sewed for a living and so that did not lend to sewing for enjoyment. 😢
Congratulations on 85K🎉
All of your Scrap-a-licious quilts are so delicious!
The Fat Quarter Shop auction on Ebay must have ended; I couldn't find anything about it. But that's okay; I just wanted to look and see again. Seems like there was 4 quilts. Your video this morning brings to mind my grandmother's quilt that my mom had - I wonder where it is and what happened to it. I'll have to ask my brother if he has seen it as he is living in her house now. If we have it I'll send a picture. Enjoyed your video today. Look forward to the next one.
In regard to your lovely aqua squares blocks, I had a log cabin quilt that was a wedding present. It was made to fit a queen-size bed. The Amish ladies who made it added a really wide border to get the length needed. Maybe you could add some more blocks and then put a wide border on it to get it to the right size. That way you wouldn't have to make so many more blocks. They used a coordinating solid so the border wouldn't detract from the log cabin blocks. I would say that border was probably about twelve inches wide on three sides.
That a really good tip thank you have a great day
Hey... she just "fixed" it. We love her for that. How many little BOYS? She barely had time to know her own name.... let alone ....restore... the edge of an everyday quilt.
hehe.. Actually she fixed then after Gregg and I were married, all the boys were grown up
I taught myself to quilt from a book when I was a teenager. I had no money so my fabric was old clothes. I do notice that quilts I bound with bias binding have no problems but the ones with bias have the problem you describe, binding split on one thread. If the quilt were wall hangings probably would be no problem. But most of quilts were well used.
Love your videos Pat!!! Love the way you use dots in your quilts!!! Going to do it on my next one ❤️‼️
I didn't have anyone that passed on. I do have crochet dollies
Pat, thank you for sharing the quilt your mother in law made!!! Loved seeing the repairs and hearing your thoughts. You should share this with Chris O’Neil from Sew the Distance-TH-cam channel. She talks about old quilts and the value of them -the quirks. So fascinating. It woukd a great collaboration between the two of you. 💕
This was made my my MIL mom 💕
Love your idea of getting panels to practice quilting around. I use to quilt my quilts but only really did straight lines or stippling.. I haven't done it now in years so I'll have to learn again. But with MG i will have to keep my quilt size small (childs, lap, wall or table runners) for example.. But i'm looking forward to my fall projects and I think panels would be great for child's quilts, and wall hangings to practice on. : )
Good morning I love your Aqua quilt. I want one too .
Well done those who can do it on their domestic machine. I couldn't so went down the longarm route and have never regretted it.
Love it, but isn't that a purple top turnip?😊🤔
Hi, Happy Saturday to you too! The unicorn quilt turned out so adorable!! All of the little squares around the panel just made it. Off to get my great grandmothers quilt that she made and hand quilted. BTW I have never been able to find out the name of the pattern for it. Maybe you might know it? This week has flown by so fast!! Hope you are having beautiful weather for this weekend. See us Monday and happy sewing & stitching :-)
To check the backing size fold the top and back in fourths. Lay them with two edges aligned. The margin is easily shown.
I practice my free motion with small projects like table runners or placemats.
Maybe that's why I make so many mistakes, I like to watch movies and quilt...
Angela Walters has some wonderful vlogs on free motion quilting on UTube
I love the aqua quilt. I know they are all 2 1/2" squares. It there a link to follow for any shortcuts?
I’m the first and only quilter in my family. I’m 61. None of my daughters have shown interest in following me.
I couldn't interest my daughter in sewing at all - she preferred sports. I am the only sewist in my family - Mom COULD but didn't love it - neither sister is interested. I made garments mostly until I was in my forties - it's been quilts ever since - I'm 72 now. Maybe we're the unicorns Pat spoke of. LOL
❤️❤️❤️
I have several of my grandma's quilts. Mom didn't quilt . One of my daughters enjoys quilting.
My grandma also used clothing and could tell you where it came from.
It looks like a turnip Lol
Is that a radish or a turnip?
I think it's a turnip. I was going to ask the same thing.
I'm calling it a radish, the designer doesn't tell you what she drew it's just a vegetable
They look like turnips to me.😊
Seeing the fabric piece, it looks like what my grandmother called Rutabaga.
I like the flavor of radishes better than Rutabaga.
how does single fold binding hold up to self binding my rolling over the backing?
a separate binding, of any kind, is preferred. Once you binding wears out when you pull to the front from the back, you have a mess to fix it.
Do you have a video for binding ? I am so confused about how to attach bias binding.
this is how I do binding by machine patsloan.typepad.com/quiltershome/pat-sloan-machine-binding-tutorial.html
What kind of color catchers do you use when you wash a quilt.
here it is amzn.to/3UEn4on
Are you going to prewash the orange backing?
Pat, what type of washer do you use to wash a quilt? A front load? I feel front load is not enough water to really wash a quilt.
i have never owned a front loader so no clue about how they work
@@PatSloan thank you for the answer. I have a front load and for 30 yreas had a Maytag. I don't like my front load. They are "water savers" but you can't wash large things as they barely get wet. My Maytag was working fine when my husband thought I needed an upgrade.
So I hardly ever wash a quilt. Just baby quilts I am gifting.
How do I post a photo ?

@@PatSloan thank you!!!
Turnips...
