You are a breath of fresh air! Love your videos, quilt and flosstube. It's great that you can laugh at yourself. Your quilts are beautiful! You are a busy lady and get so much done. It takes me a while to get one done, but that's OK. No rush, not a race. Stay the way you are! I need the smiles I get watching you.
I cannot tell you how many times I gasped and said "WOW!" I watch your flosstubes and enjoy them very much, now I must add the quilting ones to the watch list. I am not really a quilter but I was enthralled anyway. Your chatty bits are the best, keep talking....I love hearing about the whys. Meander as much as you like. I have done a Sunbonnet Sue with scraps of this and that and a Lake Tahoe scene for my brother who backpacks and camps. When you talked about the trees on the Sasquach quilt I got a chill. That was exactly the way I felt about the trees I did on the Lake Tahoe quilt.
I enjoyed your quilt video. I’m not really a quilter-I’ve designed and made two quilts for my sons. They have worn out and fallen apart as the boys grew up. But it was never my jam. The part of quilting I really enjoy is hand quilting. I always wanted to quilt a whole cloth/one piece or whatever you call it but I have had chronic problems with my back so that doesn’t seem like a good idea anymore. My mom loved quilting and made absolutely beautiful quilts so I am enjoying your quilts and your enthusiasm! Looking forward to your next quilt-tube.🌻
What a superb video-all of it!! Yours are among the -very few- videos that trump my lengthy watch later queue. I look forward to all your stitchy adventures. Thanks for bringing me along.
So fun watching your update! You inspired me to make the Sasquash/tree quilt. This will be perfect gift for my hubby. Thanks again for sharing your work and your joy.
Your passion for quilting showed through in aces! Loved to see all your work. I don’t quilt but have been fortunate to have a quilter in the family - even small pieces from my grandchildren. And a resident here in Avon, Ohio has a metal shadow type Sasquatch in their yard! Great fun. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness! I am completely in awe of your quilting finishes and the amount of work you have done! I LOVE your Midnight at the Oasis… WOW! I’ve actually been curiously admiring that hanging on your wall in your previous videos, wanting a closer look. I am obsessed 💕. Love your videos, and your sweet personality. You’re a joy 😊
Not yet a quilter but I hope to become one. I so enjoy seeing all your quilts and listening to you talk about all of them and the fabrics you choose. Love your flosstube videos and am very excited to have more from you.
Wow! Wow! Wow! So, so glad you are sharing your neighbor! I’m a seasoned quilter but love trying new designers and techniques! So wish we were neighbors - we could get lost in all things stitchy!!! Absolutely love your enthusiasm and your storytelling! So uplifting and inspirational!
I loved everything about your Quilting Bee! I'm feeling inspired to get back to quilting, which is a good thing since I have several projects going. I just haven't felt the urge to sew in months but this was so inspirational. I'll be looking forward to next month. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for the quilty tube! As you said, most videos pertaining to quilting are tutorials, so it was super nice to see all of your beautiful quilts and hear your thought processes behind the making of them....and I'm glad we got to see the end! 🥰
Enjoyed the video so much. Your beautiful quilts and your enthusiasm for the craft has inspired me to get back to quilting. I stepped away from in in 2019 because I lost my passion for it. Thank you for a wonderful video. Looking forward to the next.
Here I am watching again. You are a very talented quilter. Great eye for color. I am older than you and a quilter but it’s been a number of years since I’ve sewn. I won’t go into all reasons now. I have given our daughter my 930 Bernina that I’ve been told is a work horse. I got a brand new Bernina a bit before Covid. Still in the box! My husband is renovating part of our house, my sewing room small, and he was going to buy a sewing table. Realized it wouldn’t fit in room. He was also going to build a sewing table for new machine. He ended up having a heart attack, basically recovered but has less strength. My sewing room is too full to sew in. I miss it, and I hope to get back to it. And cross stitching. I am having some health problems too. I am a huge fabric lover. I like simple quilts, especially scrappy. I’m don’t like complicated piecing, too hard to me. I’l quit talking for now. I have just loved watching you. I find joy in dreaming and watching. Still hope I can get back into dong! In the meantime, thank you for joy you brought me. I worked part time in a quilt shop too. I have Jo Martin books. Plus many more books and patterns! ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌲🌲
I hope you can get back into the doing as well! I wish I could come help with your room! Hugs. Thank you for joining me in the meantime. 🥰 Your daughter is lucky! 930's are from that generation before computer boards and they just keep going!! Grandma had an 1130 that still is good as new, after decades of use. Beautiful machine.
Most enjoyable and inspirational. Your love of quilting shines through. I’ve been wanting to sew a table topper and after watching your interesting video, I find myself looking through a Kim Diehl pattern book I bought a few months ago but had set aside. Thank you for sharing and I’m looking forward to more quilting videos as well as floss tubes from you.
Thanks for sharing your quilts. I look forward to more quilty talk with you. I found your channel through flosstube but I am a quilter who dabbles in cross stitching so I am so happy you are going to have quilt content similar to the cross stitch content that is so abundant.
I love loved seeing all of your quilts and some of your plans! I’m a very novice quilter (I’ve made one) and I’m looking to delve deeper into it to go with my stitching. I’m fascinated by how people choose fabrics and fabric stashes for quilting. Can’t wait to see upcoming videos!
❤ thank you for uploading the remainder of the video 😂😂 I thought I had accidentally clicked something and went back to look and it was just a incomplete. Life happens! I am an avid cross stitcher and have let my quilting go by the wayside, I need to get back to it! Your quilts are beautiful, look forward to seeing more 😍😍
Loved your video. I am not a quilter although someday I would like to try. Your quilts are gorgeous and I love that you use them, there is nothing like curling up under a homemade quilt. Look forward to more of your quilt and floss tube videos.
I’ve just started watching your quilting bee videos and…Wow! What amazing work! Love your color sense with all the quilts but that pineapple quilt took my breath away! Stunning! I too became a quilter before a cross-stitcher but it has kinda taken a back seat to cross-stitching lately. Your quilting is getting me excited to go back…thanks!!!
I have binge watched all your videos and I have absolutely enjoyed it. I am not a quilter at all, but I want to be after watching your videos. Your variety of quilts matches the variety in your stitching. My WIPs also run a large variety. I can’t wait until your next video. Have a lovely day!
You’ve inspired me to get out some of my long waiting quilts WIPs! Love your flosstubes and now excited to see more of your quilting bee videos! I agree most quilt related videos on here are tutorial/informative so this is quite welcome 🤗🌸
Wow Laura! Thank you so much for sharing all your quilts, projects. You really are an inspiration! I’m learning how to use my Bernina, made some blocks so please tips, tricks will be very helpful, again thanks and I love the bunny quilt🥰, also I think the pineapple table runner must be display 🤩
Yay, Laura. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love this new series. I am so inspired and pump to start quilting along with you. I've been so neglectful of my sewing. I am still a beginner quilter and more of a sewer bc I need more practice with my cutting. I can't wait to learn from you. 🤗🥰🥳
These videos were so fun to watch! Thanks you for sharing. You have me considering doing my own quilting-focused videos. I love your work and I can’t wait to follow your progress. 💕
I love the way you are showing us into your quilting world. I agree that there seems to only be tutorials. I like how you are talking about each quilt similar to how you show us your FlossTube projects. I really love quilts and started making my own when I was 16 yrs. I asked all my girlfriends to give me their scraps from sewing and I used those. That was in 1971 when girls sewed a lot of their school clothes. I was so silly. I sat on my bedroom floor and used my mom's portable sewing machine. (yes I did take sewing in school and I also put a needle right through my finger 😂) But all through these years I have sewn quilts that I like. I didn't even know that there were patterns you could buy. I went to the museum of History in Los Angeles where they were having a quilt show. I sketched the patterns on paper that I liked. Then I went home and tried to replicate them. I did ok. I've made quilts for family but mostly for myself. I made a beautiful king size quilt all pieced and quilted for my husband and I. Well I caught my 2 year old son sitting on my bed and coloring my quilt with a Sharpie. I about died. I couldn't wash that out. But over the years of washing the sharpie is gone. It took many years, that son is now 44. Now I have one quilt cut out and pieced. I used bright colors along with dark colors. I just made up the pattern. I so admire your complicated patterns and the colors are just beautiful. The last quilt you showed was so pretty and playful. I love it. Some of the mountains to me looked like Bee Skeps. Especially the yellow ones. I can't wait to see your next quilt video next month. Blessings to you.
I gasped with the finger story! My Grandma told me of a similar event. (cringe)😱 My Grandma taught me the way she learned- to find the shapes and work out how it all came together like a puzzle and it is alway a surprise to me when people don't "disect" quilts that way. I love to draw up my own designs and ideas. It is liberating! Aaaaand probably why I have a hard time doing patterns "as shown". 😂 Oh I loved this comment- I just want to sit and sew and chat with you. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
I had thought the last video ended abruptly! But it was so full of great things, I didn’t mind. And yes, I am actually quilting now while watching your video! Trying to get the Shabby Fabrics block of the month done, it is Let Freedom Ring by Primrose Cottage Quilts. Looking forward to your next Quilting Bee! I need all the tips I can get!
Loved the quilting update and hearing about your quilting journey. Appreciated seeing that you quilt your own quilts and not everything needs to be sent off to be quilted.
So glad I didn’t miss the end , thought I hit the wrong thing! If I showed all the quilts I’ve made and still own it would “break the internet” for real. Love all yours!
i always wanted to quilt but never could afford either a decent sewing machine or the yardage of fabrics it takes to make more than one. So I just cross stitch. But I sure love seeing all your quilts. My 32 year old daughter would absolutely be wild about the backing fabric you used on the sasquatch one.
I am so stoked!! This reignited my quilting bug and you are right… not a lot of journey “floss tube” type channels on quilting. I smiled when you chose your date because my grandmother who was a seamstress and taught me how to sew bday is Feb 6th. I never thought to apply the “kiting up” idea to quilting either so great idea!
I knew you would come back and finish this! Hey, it happens. Glad to see you back!!! I LOVE SCRAP QUILTS and Quiltworx paper piecing. I love your blue quilt is awesome! May need to use that colorway in my next Quiltville/Bonnie Hunter quilt!!! Until next time... can't wait to see what you show us! Maybe a quilt along??? Hint Hint Hint
It was so much fun watching you talk about your quilts in the same way you talk about your cross stitch. Beautiful projects all around! 🥰 I have done some quilting in the past, but knitting, crocheting and cross stitching occupy most of my brain and spare time. At some point you just got to admit that you can't do everything 🤷♀️ (and still get things done, if you know what I mean). But don't take me to a quilt shop - I'll still buy all the fabrics 😂. 'Cause you never know...
I agree, you can't do it all. I can knit and crochet as well, but I only do a project every couple of years to keep the skill, and spend most of my time and money in quilting at this point. Who knows, down the road I may swap hobbies for a decade. 😂🤷🏽♀️
Your Big Foot quilt is amazing! And I have looking at your Midnight quilt on the wall for quite a while ( watching your floss tubes) I am so glad you showed it to us,. it is really awesome. Pioneer Quilts is such an awesome shop I have been there several times, so much fun to wander the rooms and see the historical stuff as well as the beautiful quilts and fabrics.
Thank you! 😊 Hmmm. I wonder if we ever met on your visits to PQ? I worked there for the past six years until I moved here, and three years at the old location. Small world!
So that was fun. I'm now inspired to open the wardrobe and get all the fabrics and patterns out. I'm not sure how I'll keep my cross stitch momentum going if I'm back at my machine - I need to order some more days per week! I think quilting in Spring sounds a delight though and now my mind is full of ideas. Looking forward to your next episode. All the best, Claire
Haha, I totally get it. I have to set aside an hour or two in the morning for sewing, and then I cross-stitch in the evenings generally. But... that is on a perfect day... not normal day. 😂
Love your style. Thanks for the video. I wanted to mention that when you sowed your Jen Kingwell where you used mountains instead of what she used I saw beehives instead of mountains with embroidered bees and buzz lines in that border.
I love watching your flosstube, but I am not a cross stitcher really, I am a quilter that listens while I sew. My husband loves 1800 fabrics too so I made him a churn dash in cheddar, blue and green. I have stopped being a monogamous quilter and have many going at the same time in different phases. Love all the ones you showed and have added a couple to my ‘gotta do’ list. Maybe you can show pictures of some of the baby quilts you have done, or maybe I need to find you on IG, lol. Thank you for sharing, I hope this type of bee will be a new thing for me to find on TH-cam. ❤
I loved your quiltytube! I am a new quilter and have only completed one quilt - machine pieced charm squares and big stitch hand quilting. I have 4 wips already but all using different techniques EPP, applique, FPP, hand piecing and machine piecing. I think my cross -stitch multi project tendancy spilled over into quilting already. I like to just work on one thing until I complete a section/step/there's a natural pause point/ or something new and shiny comes along.
Hi there! It’s your Valleyford fan! I am so happy you are doing a fun quilting TH-cam! You are right, most quilt videos are tutorials. I made all those little house blocks (I think I bought them all at The Quilting Bee in Spokane when I still lived in Seattle). I will have to send you a picture (somehow)…I made a quilt as well but much smaller. Love yours! I hadn’t seen that farm quilt…maybe you/we should do a sew along with it! Love this new series!❤
Hi Laura. I enjoyed your quilting video so much! I'm also a quilter so I love seeing the quilts and look forward to future videos. Now I really want to make a scrappy green Irish chain quilt! I'm pulling fabrics right now as I watch your video for the American Patchwork & Quilting scrappy QAL with pattern by Lissa Alexander.
Lovely and inspiring projects. I am working on cutting for Fancy Forest right now. It will be my first Elizabeth Hartman so I am following the pattern and color placement pretty closely. My favorite designer is Kim Diehl; her colors are my happy place!
Hi Laura, I’m one of your flosstube subscribers but a quilter as well so I was thrilled to hear you were going to have a quilting channel as well. I was not disappointed. Lovely quilts and such knowledge. I’ve been quilting since the early 90’s and it was my main hobby, then I started knitting and spinning and cross-stitching.. and moving and building a house lol I have a beautiful craft room in my house and love getting lost in my fabric. I’ve been trying to finish some quilts that I started quite awhile ago.. mainly tops I need to quilt. I do my own quilting as well and really enjoy it though I admit to often struggling with how I want to quilt. But once I do I love the rhythm of free-motion quilting. I’ve always been a Bernina gal but have to say that I love my Juki straight stitch machines for quilting now. Beautiful stitch and larger throat so easier to get all that fabric under lol I’m so glad you have started this channel and I look forward to your next episode. Suzette
🥰 It can be so touch to choose a design, I fall into the basic stipple a lot. lol. A bigger throat would be sooo nice. With my 200 down I have flirted with the idea of upgrading it but oh my the $$$. One day! 😁
@@LaladeeStitches I agree that good machines can be pricey. I think when I got my 2nd Juki last year it was about $1300. Not nearly as pricey as Bernina’s! And 8 do like Bernina machines..I’ve had my share of them lol
I enjoyed this video very much!!! Even though I am not a quilter, I enjoy to look at other people's work and I always, always admire, and I admit, I feel a bit jealous, about how good you combine colors and shapes!!! I would like to learn how to quilt at a point, but I don't think I would actually pick it up as a hobby. I liked a lot the "Holiday Herringbone" table runner, as well as the "Peppermint Candy" table runner in the colors you had made it. I really loved the one with the big white/creamy flowers, the one that was a free chart, and of course both the Halloween ones, and the one with the little houses, they were so beautiful. I also liked a lot the one that was saying, "For these I give thanks", in the middle, the one with the flour jar in the middle, and the one with the hearts, were also amazing!!! Not that I didn't like the rest, but those, and I am sure I am forgetting to mention a couple of them, I really, really, really liked!!! Amazing work, looking forward to the next episode 😊🪡🧵
Hi Laura. I have just found you on flosstube and although a dressmaker and crossstitcher for decades, I haven't quilted. Loved your quilt parade. Stunning. Thank you for sharing. Do you have any recommendations for a novice that would like to dip their toe in the quilting water? 😅❤
Thank you so much!! I would first say, if you can make clothes, you can quilt! The process is a bit different, but you can totally do it! Be fearless, don't let people tell you anything is "too hard". I have seen people do incredibly advanced projects as their first and pull it off beautifully, because that is what inspired them to start! I believe that the motivation, patience, and a well written pattern will take you far. There are some really good beginner books out there. I will share my favorites in my next Quilty episode, as I seem to be typing a novel! lol :)
@@LaladeeStitches awesome! thank you. I don't think I have tried the quilters dream. So I will have to check it out. I have also been wanting to try wool. Let me know if you end up trying it!
Thank you- it is a thrift store find! I plan to take it apart and make a new one though when it wears out. It is the most comfortable and lovely shirt through Spring and Summer.
It is based off of an antique quilt: The pattern is The Pierre Block. I am working from October 2005 American Patchwork & Quilting magazine issue where it was featured. 😊

LOVE ❤️ the Sasquatch quilt!!! Background fabric you were right!!! Beautiful work!!
I loved everything and thank you for the eye candy. Looking forward to the next one.

I am going to really enjoy your quilting bees! Great job!!

@@LaladeeStitches Well I am in Idaho. You are welcome anytime to chat! 😁❤
😂 I was listening and all the sudden it stopped I thought it was my tv and was like what! Loved the new videos so fun!!!
🤦🏽♀️ Yup. I am so sorry about that! Part 2 is up now... 😂🤷🏽♀️
Beautiful quilts! Learned some quilting lingo...will have to share your video with my sister who is a quilter, quite a good one too!
I had thought the last video ended abruptly! But it was so full of great things, I didn’t mind. And yes, I am actually quilting now while watching your video! Trying to get the Shabby Fabrics block of the month done, it is Let Freedom Ring by Primrose Cottage Quilts. Looking forward to your next Quilting Bee! I need all the tips I can get!
Your quilts are beautiful!
Loved the quilting update and hearing about your quilting journey. Appreciated seeing that you quilt your own quilts and not everything needs to be sent off to be quilted.
So glad I didn’t miss the end , thought I hit the wrong thing! If I showed all the quilts I’ve made and still own it would “break the internet” for real. Love all yours!
You are inspiring me to get back to my quilting wips. I have a bunch of projects that are half finished that need love!
i always wanted to quilt but never could afford either a decent sewing machine or the yardage of fabrics it takes to make more than one. So I just cross stitch. But I sure love seeing all your quilts. My 32 year old daughter would absolutely be wild about the backing fabric you used on the sasquatch one.
I am so stoked!! This reignited my quilting bug and you are right… not a lot of journey “floss tube” type channels on quilting. I smiled when you chose your date because my grandmother who was a seamstress and taught me how to sew bday is Feb 6th. I never thought to apply the “kiting up” idea to quilting either so great idea!
🥰
I knew you would come back and finish this! Hey, it happens. Glad to see you back!!! I LOVE SCRAP QUILTS and Quiltworx paper piecing. I love your blue quilt is awesome! May need to use that colorway in my next Quiltville/Bonnie Hunter quilt!!! Until next time... can't wait to see what you show us! Maybe a quilt along??? Hint Hint Hint
A quilt a long would be so fun! I think I need to catch my rhythm first though- maybe in a month or two? We'll see! 😁
It was so much fun watching you talk about your quilts in the same way you talk about your cross stitch. Beautiful projects all around! 🥰
I have done some quilting in the past, but knitting, crocheting and cross stitching occupy most of my brain and spare time. At some point you just got to admit that you can't do everything 🤷♀️ (and still get things done, if you know what I mean). But don't take me to a quilt shop - I'll still buy all the fabrics 😂. 'Cause you never know...
I agree, you can't do it all. I can knit and crochet as well, but I only do a project every couple of years to keep the skill, and spend most of my time and money in quilting at this point. Who knows, down the road I may swap hobbies for a decade. 😂🤷🏽♀️
Your Big Foot quilt is amazing! And I have looking at your Midnight quilt on the wall for quite a while ( watching your floss tubes) I am so glad you showed it to us,. it is really awesome. Pioneer Quilts is such an awesome shop I have been there several times, so much fun to wander the rooms and see the historical stuff as well as the beautiful quilts and fabrics.
Thank you! 😊 Hmmm. I wonder if we ever met on your visits to PQ? I worked there for the past six years until I moved here, and three years at the old location. Small world!
@@LaladeeStitches I wondered the same thing!
I NEED the fab farm pattern! I had no idea it existed so thank you for showing it!
Right?! It is SO cute! 💙
@@LaladeeStitches I ordered that and two others…penguin play and of course legendary. We at our house are huge fans of Big Foot 😂
So that was fun. I'm now inspired to open the wardrobe and get all the fabrics and patterns out. I'm not sure how I'll keep my cross stitch momentum going if I'm back at my machine - I need to order some more days per week! I think quilting in Spring sounds a delight though and now my mind is full of ideas. Looking forward to your next episode. All the best, Claire
Haha, I totally get it. I have to set aside an hour or two in the morning for sewing, and then I cross-stitch in the evenings generally. But... that is on a perfect day... not normal day. 😂
Love your style. Thanks for the video. I wanted to mention that when you sowed your Jen Kingwell where you used mountains instead of what she used I saw beehives instead of mountains with embroidered bees and buzz lines in that border.
That is a lovely idea! I like it. 😊
I love watching your flosstube, but I am not a cross stitcher really, I am a quilter that listens while I sew. My husband loves 1800 fabrics too so I made him a churn dash in cheddar, blue and green. I have stopped being a monogamous quilter and have many going at the same time in different phases. Love all the ones you showed and have added a couple to my ‘gotta do’ list. Maybe you can show pictures of some of the baby quilts you have done, or maybe I need to find you on IG, lol. Thank you for sharing, I hope this type of bee will be a new thing for me to find on TH-cam. ❤
I loved your quiltytube! I am a new quilter and have only completed one quilt - machine pieced charm squares and big stitch hand quilting. I have 4 wips already but all using different techniques EPP, applique, FPP, hand piecing and machine piecing. I think my cross -stitch multi project tendancy spilled over into quilting already. I like to just work on one thing until I complete a section/step/there's a natural pause point/ or something new and shiny comes along.
Hi there! It’s your Valleyford fan! I am so happy you are doing a fun quilting TH-cam! You are right, most quilt videos are tutorials. I made all those little house blocks (I think I bought them all at The Quilting Bee in Spokane when I still lived in Seattle). I will have to send you a picture (somehow)…I made a quilt as well but much smaller. Love yours! I hadn’t seen that farm quilt…maybe you/we should do a sew along with it! Love this new series!❤
I would love to see a picture! You can send it to my email laladee.stitches@gmail.com 😊
Hi Laura. I enjoyed your quilting video so much! I'm also a quilter so I love seeing the quilts and look forward to future videos. Now I really want to make a scrappy green Irish chain quilt! I'm pulling fabrics right now as I watch your video for the American Patchwork & Quilting scrappy QAL with pattern by Lissa Alexander.
Oh that was a dangerous project to look up! It is right up my alley! Enjoy... 💕
Lovely and inspiring projects. I am working on cutting for Fancy Forest right now. It will be my first Elizabeth Hartman so I am following the pattern and color placement pretty closely. My favorite designer is Kim Diehl; her colors are my happy place!
Fancy Forest is such fun! A lot of work too... lol. Kim Diehl, her quilts are gorgeous, the borders make magic happen. ❤️
I recently bought Fab Farm also. It’s sooooo cute!!
It really is! I grabbed it up the moment I saw it, all of my brain went out the window and it was what I shopped for. Haha
Hi Laura, I’m one of your flosstube subscribers but a quilter as well so I was thrilled to hear you were going to have a quilting channel as well. I was not disappointed. Lovely quilts and such knowledge. I’ve been quilting since the early 90’s and it was my main hobby, then I started knitting and spinning and cross-stitching.. and moving and building a house lol I have a beautiful craft room in my house and love getting lost in my fabric. I’ve been trying to finish some quilts that I started quite awhile ago.. mainly tops I need to quilt. I do my own quilting as well and really enjoy it though I admit to often struggling with how I want to quilt. But once I do I love the rhythm of free-motion quilting. I’ve always been a Bernina gal but have to say that I love my Juki straight stitch machines for quilting now. Beautiful stitch and larger throat so easier to get all that fabric under lol I’m so glad you have started this channel and I look forward to your next episode. Suzette
🥰 It can be so touch to choose a design, I fall into the basic stipple a lot. lol. A bigger throat would be sooo nice. With my 200 down I have flirted with the idea of upgrading it but oh my the $$$. One day! 😁
@@LaladeeStitches I agree that good machines can be pricey. I think when I got my 2nd Juki last year it was about $1300. Not nearly as pricey as Bernina’s! And 8 do like Bernina machines..I’ve had my share of them lol
💜☮️
I enjoyed this video very much!!! Even though I am not a quilter, I enjoy to look at other people's work and I always, always admire, and I admit, I feel a bit jealous, about how good you combine colors and shapes!!! I would like to learn how to quilt at a point, but I don't think I would actually pick it up as a hobby.
I liked a lot the "Holiday Herringbone" table runner, as well as the "Peppermint Candy" table runner in the colors you had made it. I really loved the one with the big white/creamy flowers, the one that was a free chart, and of course both the Halloween ones, and the one with the little houses, they were so beautiful. I also liked a lot the one that was saying, "For these I give thanks", in the middle, the one with the flour jar in the middle, and the one with the hearts, were also amazing!!! Not that I didn't like the rest, but those, and I am sure I am forgetting to mention a couple of them, I really, really, really liked!!! Amazing work, looking forward to the next episode 😊🪡🧵
🥰
Hi Laura. I have just found you on flosstube and although a dressmaker and crossstitcher for decades, I haven't quilted.
Loved your quilt parade. Stunning. Thank you for sharing.
Do you have any recommendations for a novice that would like to dip their toe in the quilting water? 😅❤
Thank you so much!! I would first say, if you can make clothes, you can quilt! The process is a bit different, but you can totally do it! Be fearless, don't let people tell you anything is "too hard". I have seen people do incredibly advanced projects as their first and pull it off beautifully, because that is what inspired them to start! I believe that the motivation, patience, and a well written pattern will take you far. There are some really good beginner books out there. I will share my favorites in my next Quilty episode, as I seem to be typing a novel! lol :)
@@LaladeeStitches thanks so much....I noticed there is a whole library of quilting books, so a recommendation or two would be wonderful. 😁
Yay! Glad to see more of the video. I had a question, what batting do you use? I love the drape of your quilts!
100% Cotton, always. 😊 I love Quilter's Dream Batting. I would love to try a wool batting one day, but they are pricy.
@@LaladeeStitches awesome! thank you. I don't think I have tried the quilters dream. So I will have to check it out. I have also been wanting to try wool. Let me know if you end up trying it!
I loved all your quilts! I too I’m a Jen kingwell fan. I was wondering if you also made your shirt? It’s cute is there a pattern?
Thank you- it is a thrift store find! I plan to take it apart and make a new one though when it wears out. It is the most comfortable and lovely shirt through Spring and Summer.
1200 😳
I know. 🤦🏽♀️
What is the name of the pattern and designer of the quilt you are making bigger?
It is based off of an antique quilt: The pattern is The Pierre Block. I am working from October 2005 American Patchwork & Quilting magazine issue where it was featured. 😊
Thank you 😊
