I just tossed one of my quilts. It hurts, but the quilting was barely there and the top was just simply worn out. My mother made it - and thankfully, I have many others. Sometimes you just have to let go when there is no salvaging. I thought about giving it to homeless - but really, it was worn out. So, I donated another for homeless cause we should do this occasionally, anyway. Love watching you guys. My mom and I quilted together. Oh, how I miss her. Cherish and enjoy the time you all have together!
Sandra Fulton I went to a quilt show last summer and there was a booth with little stuffed cats made from salvaged pieces of old quilts. They embellished the cats by sewing buttons for eyes and embroidered a nose, mouth and whiskers. It’s a good way to save some of old worn out quilts. Maybe even a little pillow made from the good parts.
A great podcast! Watching it early on Saturday morning. Love Chelsea's Community Quilt - I want all three projects you have samples of this morning. I finally have a guest bedroom that doubles as my sewing room...so delightful to walk into and work in! An IKEA gate leg table with drawers has made the space so much more functional.
I discovered your podcast today and really enjoyed it. I need to catch up on your previous podcasts now. Thank you for sharing your talents and a bit of yourselves with us.
Chelsi FYI my quilt room has full curtain, no direct sun and I have found a number of fabrics are fading and I'm not sure that it isn't my daylight bulbs in the room. You might want to check at the fold lines if there is any fading. I was totally blown away. I'd hate to have any of your quilts damaged from indirect sun. Enjoying your Q&As. Thank you.
Another wonderful wonderful job!! I always learn so much from you ladies. Thanks so much for the ideas for background. That has always been my nemesis since I have no Local shop and must order online only. You’re the best. Never ever miss your shows. Keep up the good work!!
Hi ladies, I really enjoy the podcast 😊. I have a couple of comments: In the TH-cam when you are showing items they are to far away can you add a close-up of the items. Also, this comment is for Chelsie, I have noticed a lot that when your mom is talking and answering a question you get so excited and want to add to the answer that you don't let her finish first, I tend to do the same thing that's way I know, I hope thus help, thank you both 😊
Ingrid Tinsley women who are close tend to talk at the same time as each other. Sociologists have noted this. It’s a sign of women’s ability to multi task too. Lots of women in a group... everyone’s taking at the same time yet we can still seem to hear each other.
Binding a quilt is my favorite thing to do. I love doing any kind of hand work in the evening. Love to hand appliqué, EPP and cross stitch. If I don’t have something to work on, I will fall asleep. Also, I really don’t watch TV but my husband will watch while I listen.
When I had to set up and take down everytime I sewed my most helpful tool was a large fishing tackle box. My thread and all of my notions fit in it. When sewing it sits on the floor beside me and it opens in tiers and everything is handy and it just closes right up when you"re done.
I love your kind & calm interactions, Sherri & Chelsi 👍 I only figured out that you two are mother and daughter about two-thirds of the way through the first video of yours that I watched. I think you two embody the connection that every quilter wishes they could share with a beloved family member. (Maybe you can insert a tiny blurb to that effect at the start of each episode?!) Q: How did you get started working and designing together?
Thank you for all your tips! Greetings from 🇨🇷 Costa Rica! I love to hear from you and see your beautiful quilts! I am working on my Flowers from Emma !!! Love it!
Love the answer to question 6... i buy a layer cake or jellyroll for a project and by the time its delivered and i finish my current project i forgot what i was gonna sew... especially when buying certain yardage amounts..and not remembering and there it sits.
Thank you for talking about WIPS. I realized I needed to get a quilt top out I’m making out of Creekside. I took it out and hung what I have done on my design wall. So now I have to finish it.
Good advice on choosing next projects. I need to get the patterns together I really want to so that as I can focus on picking out fabrics. I always have hand work while watching tv - either embroidery or binding. I can't just sit there without doing something else.
The squirrels and chipmunks are busy right now and the leafs are starting to become crisp....lots of September options for quilts here but I live in canada not in Nevada.
I loved the Podcast today. So many helpful tips!! Love my Mildliners to color code. I use them in addition to my Alphbitties. I have to tell you that I was cutting and sewing masks today during your podcast. I wanted to note the Bella Solids numbers but I didn't have my notebooks that I use on Fridays for FQS notes. I do go back and forth to the website and put stuff in my buggy, but I have my Enabler's notebook. So, to save it, I grabbed one of my Frixion pens and wrote the numbers on one of the mask liners and then transferred it when it was time to get up and move. So, that's a tip you can use!!
If I really love a fabric, I always get at least one yard. Then I have greater options for using it as a focus fabric or using it in more than one quilt.
Got my first streaming TV. put in my sewing room so I can watch live more. I'm a longarmer and it's better if seams are closed. it's always a chance of opening up down the road.
I absolutely love your podcast! And Sherri I love watching your videos. I feel like I am a newbie quilter because I have made A LOT of quilt tops but I am afraid to "ruin" them by quilting poorly. Any tips? I have a domestic machine and so it is a little difficult to smush (yes it's a word) my quilts into the throat space. I am, however, looking to purchase a big girl machine with a throat size about double what I have now! Yay! But do you have any suggestions as to where to start. My quilt tops are hanging in my closet and my grown girls keep bugging me about getting "their" quilts done.
I started by making quilt blocks with the leftover fabric from my quilt tops. I sandwiched them and then tried different threads, patterns etc to see how they looked quilted. It takes practice but you can definitely do it!
I better up my game and have a dictionary with me when I send you a e-mail knowing now you were a English teacher. English was not my best subject and spelling with it to. Also better put on the Spell Check too. LOL Love you and Chelsi PODCAST a lot keep on doing what you are doing. Just as I'm watching the PODCAST my pattern I ordered came from you. THANK YOU it was fast coming. Scrappy hunting time now. Stay Safe till the next time. Thanks again for the fast pattern order and the extra PODCAST today.
Where did Chelsi get that lovely white sewing machine table. I pick whatever suits my mood, if I'm stressed I cut fabric or sew on simple quilts, If I'm full of energy I work the more complicated quilts.
Love the Community quilt! Ordering that right now! I really enjoy your podcast, especially while I'm quilting. Today I'm watching on TH-cam while I take a work break. Now I'd like to be sewing instead... You mentioned other quilting podcasts that you enjoy. Could you recommend one or two?
Thanks for all of your great advice. You mentioned today that you wash your quilts, but I'm curious if you wash them in a particular way (gentle cycle, air dry etc?). I want to preserve my quilts so I would love ideas about the most effective way to wash them. Thanks. Keep up the great podcasts/videos.
Another great show, with useful tips and ideas. How do you start the design process for a new fabric line, is it always a joint decision or do you play to each other’s strengths?
I finished a grandmothers flower garden top that my grandma started. She had done just the center. It was hand stitched so I hand stitched the entire thing. I’m unsure if I should hand quilt it or send it off for quilting? What would you do?
I think I lost my note to you. So I will try again. Could you do a show, hang quilts side by side with white backgrounds, if Bella 9900-60, Ivory., Bella 200 white and 9900-98, so we could actually see the difference in a quilt hanging. Its always had to tell what to get. Liked your show today.
My daughter just started as a grad assistant at UNLV in August in the theater department! She is a costuming major. We are coming to visit her in October. Do you have a shop or a studio that I could visit while I am there?
You are both so adorable and yes it is hot here in Las Vegas area. I am trying to sew some fall and Christmas decor but finding it hard to get creative when it is so hot. I just can’t seem to get any energy to get started. Do you have any suggestions on how to get motivated because I am feeling lazy and really not getting anything accomplished. I have been quilting for over 25 years but this year has been the hardest to get things started or even completed. Thanks for all your tips and tricks.

I think maybe what you’re thinking of is “Summer In The Park”. Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company has a wonderful video of her making one. one of them.
I’m enjoying your podcasts. I followed you on Apple and tried to leave a comment for you, but it requires a nickname. I tried different nicknames for 10 minutes but never found one that wasn’t taken. Sorry 😕

Apples are a great transition from summer into fall. I do love the sunflower idea!
I sewed in closets for years...put in a shelf and put my machine on it with storage on the shelf above...worked great!

I love how Sherri is just casually like “I try to keep it under a dozen”
Great program again!! I learn something new every time! Thank you Ladies.
Why am I just finding this channel?!?!?! 😍
Thank you for all your tips! Greetings from 🇨🇷 Costa Rica! I love to hear from you and see your beautiful quilts! I am working on my Flowers from Emma !!! Love it!
Love the answer to question 6... i buy a layer cake or jellyroll for a project and by the time its delivered and i finish my current project i forgot what i was gonna sew... especially when buying certain yardage amounts..and not remembering and there it sits.
I like that this is a Labor of Love centered around Labor Day. Labor Day of 1996 is when I had a wonderful baby, who is grown and buying a house, now!
LOVE your podcast! Such great information! Thank you, ladies!
Thank you for talking about WIPS. I realized I needed to get a quilt top out I’m making out of Creekside. I took it out and hung what I have done on my design wall. So now I have to finish it.
It is so hot here in Conroe, Texas. I did a sunflower and crow quilt wall hanging ..so cute for the in between
Good advice on choosing next projects. I need to get the patterns together I really want to so that as I can focus on picking out fabrics.
I always have hand work while watching tv - either embroidery or binding. I can't just sit there without doing something else.
Hello 👋
Love your podcast! So much great information!
Really great tips on fabric & building a stash. Thanks ladies 😊
Thank you Sherri and Chelsi, great show. Sorry I’m late to the party, 💖 Chris-Raleigh NC
The squirrels and chipmunks are busy right now and the leafs are starting to become crisp....lots of September options for quilts here but I live in canada not in Nevada.
Hello Karen 👋👋
Heading over to give you an Apple review! I chose to ‘watch’ today because I wanted to see the lovely quilts. Great episode....thanks!

Another beautiful quilt 💙❤️love the show 🙂
If I really love a fabric, I always get at least one yard. Then I have greater options for using it as a focus fabric or using it in more than one quilt.
I think apples are good also the sunflowers is good....pod casts are great..
I live in Florida so I know what you mean about it not feeling like fall yet. LOL Sunflowers or even cooler toned quilts.
You're killing me with Balboa, I have a bundle ordered.
Got my first streaming TV. put in my sewing room so I can watch live more. I'm a longarmer and it's better if seams are closed. it's always a chance of opening up down the road.
The fat quarter bundle is the best for the amount of fabric for your money.

Have you tried quilt as you go? Or you can sew a quilt in 2 pieces then connect in the middle by quilt as you go

Liked your show today.
Does the fabric sometime dictate what pattern you use, and if you find one fabric you love do you build around it instead of buying collections?
You guys are so cute!
Pinterest is a great way to organize ideas, quilt patterns, etc.
My daughter just started as a grad assistant at UNLV in August in the theater department! She is a costuming major. We are coming to visit her in October. Do you have a shop or a studio that I could visit while I am there?
You are both so adorable and yes it is hot here in Las Vegas area. I am trying to sew some fall and Christmas decor but finding it hard to get creative when it is so hot.

I'm in Las Vegas, too!
During hot weather, I try to sew on wintry/icy printed fabric. It helps to think about snow when it's 100 degrees ❄❄❄
Me too. Just dreaming of when we will have cooler weather.
What is the best iron to use for pressing your seams open. I think that must be more difficult.
Primitive Gatherings sells a tool called the Strip Stick which is made specifically for pressing your seams open. It makes this task very easy! Check out their website for more details.
Do you have collections of your patterns like your mom does? I like to buy them that way.
Hello Kathy, how are you?
Like the daughter didn’t already know about the pens. 😂
How to choose a UFO? One member of a group I belong to wrote a numbered list, then put numbers in a bowl & picked one
Hello 👋
Is there such a thing as a summer quilt. I hear someone once say summer quilt. How would you make a summer quilt
I think maybe what you’re thinking of is “Summer In The Park”. Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company has a wonderful video of her making one.
one of them.
Thank you
I’m enjoying your podcasts.
I followed you on Apple and tried to leave a comment for you, but it requires a nickname. I tried different nicknames for 10 minutes but never found one that wasn’t taken. Sorry 😕
Hello 👋👋
