Your king-size quilt is extraordinary...gorgeous colors...everything is exquisite
Sometimes our minds have so much information we want to share that our thoughts get jumbled. So yes you are not alone.❤
I just found you on you tube.. I am so happy I did. I love quilting and I love Jesus! Thank you for your testimony and sharing.
Elaine, I'm so glad you found your way into my sewing room to visit with me!! Thank you for your sweet words and I'm glad we share the love of Jesus and stitching!
God Bless!
Love this❤. Thank you for making this!
Thank you For sharing ❤ from Switzerland
How wonderful that you can come visit me even though we are so far apart! I'm glad you enjoyed our visit and I hope to 'see' you again soon!
Thank you for sharing your experience and wonderful quilts.
Linda, I’m so glad you enjoyed the sweet stitching I shared and I hope you got some new ideas to try. Thank you for visiting me!
Oh my goodness- I just found you this evening! What a wonderful visit! Thank you so much - what fun ❤
Debra, so glad you enjoyed our visit together and I hope you got lots of inspiration to work on some fun stitching projects!
Hi I was excited to see you so quickly. I got some really good ideas from you about storage. Thank you. Your stitching is so even, looks beautiful. As always I enjoyed the good stuff. Happy stitching..
Jan, so glad you came to visit! I love having you in my long time stitching family! I’ve been really in the groove of quilting and got a few more new projects in the works to share next.
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Hi, thank you for your reply. Ooh can't wait to see your new projects! Have fun stitching.
You are so special!!!! My heart leaps with joy when I see you have posted a new video. May God bless you abundantly in all you do. Thank you for sharing your heart. ❤️ ❤❤

Thank you! Glad you like them and I hope you enjoyed the chatty visit!
Enjoy your passion for quilting in the manner you choose to do it and truly appreciate your sharing prayer with us.
Ahh, thank you so much!! I love to share my stitching treasures as well as the hope of my Jesus!!
Bonnie! I found you! Wow! Your quilting youtube was awesome! I learned so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, your talents, and your faith. I am a fan!
Carmen from Fargo
Carmen, thank you so much for your sweet words of encouragement! I’m glad we share a love of quilting and Jesus!
My favorite is a open top for your finger nail thimble no callous no poke! after awhile it's not noticeable I bought one in gold ,I have tried everything this is my key to hand sewing hexagons for longer time watching TH-cam videos when my back hurts from sewing or quilting!
I love watching your videos! You do such beautiful hand stitching! I hope you do more videos!
Laura, I'm so glad you're enjoying your visits with me!!! I've been working on some fun projects and plan to do another video the second week of August. Hope you are doing some fun stitching as well!!
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Great! I am looking forward to it! Thank you for being a blessing to us all!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching with us! I love learning new things too! I am a quilter but have only done the machine version. I might try hand stitching at some point too.
Love your quilts. I am slow stitching a quilt right now. So fun and relaxing
Who are your favorite TH-camrs to follow? I’m so interested in learning more!
I just recently noticed you are back!! I am so glad you are settled in your new home and are back to making videos. My precious sister went to be with Jesus in March. I miss her terribly. She was my best friend and we would spend hours on the phone talking as we sat in our sewing rooms 600 miles apart. So now, I have your videos on and it’s like having a friend just sitting and chatting while I sew. No one can replace my sister, but you are a Sister in Christ and I love hearing and seeing what you are doing and that you share your faith at the end. This world is so crazy right now and Jesus is where we put our hope. Thank you, Bonnie, for just being you and sharing your hear. Welcome back! You have been missed! Blessings!!
I'm so glad I can bring some joy in the midst of your sorrow! I read your comment to my husband to help him see what these videos mean to my sweet stitching family. I love that I can be a friend in your sewing room and bring the hope of Jesus to your day, as well.
You’re a blessing Bonnie we can learn so much from you and love seeing all your beautiful 🤩 quilts! I enjoy hearing all the stories. Have a wonderful week and happy quilting 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Theresa! I’m so glad to see you here with me after all the time I was gone! God bless you, girl!
Thank you Bonnie for being such a positive light by sharing your love for cross stitch, quilting and most of all Jesus.
Kathi, I’m so glad we share a love of stitching as well as Jesus! Thank you for your encouragement!
Love seeing and hearing about your mother's quilts.
Thank you Bonnie for posting this delightful and informative video. Your handwork is beautiful. Thank you also for the devotional. May our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ bless your efforts to glorify Him.
Janet, thank you so much for your support and uplifting! I need it and appreciate it!
I made the Kim Diehl log cabin quilt as well. It is stunning in person.
Deborah, I bet you are loving your quilt as well!
Bonnie, your quilts are gorgeous! I showed my husband your quilts and he was blown away how beautiful they are. I have a questions, since you’re the quilt master 😂 what is the difference between the Valdani perle cotton and the Wonderfil perle cotton, besides the price? Girl I so which you were my neighbor but at least we are blessed to have you on flosstube again. Thank you so much for coming back I have so much to learn for you. Love you girl another great video.
Carmen!!! Yes, wish we were neighbors as well! Wouldn’t that be a kick! How sweet to show your husband my quilts…maybe inspiration to have him encourage you to get some more fabric and have quiet stitching time?? I had never heard about Wonderfil pearl cotton until you asked and now I’m seeing it everywhere! Yeah, the price is definitely lower. I just searched for a video comparison and saw a good one from Becky Goldsmith called Pearl Cottons are not all the same. Now, she didn’t compare Valdani, but she did validate that Wonderfil is good and she said it’s very soft. I would recommend getting a Valdani and a Wonderfil and giving them both a try yourself to compare. You definitely want a strong thread, so the quilting lasts (I’m sure you’ve heard me talk in past videos about needing to redo several of Mom’s quilts. But, if you do the modified big stitch like I do, the stitches are smaller and therefore stronger. I’ll bring that up in the next quilting video. Love you, girl!
I enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful quilts. Your quilting is beautiful. I love the larger stitching, it makes the quilt look so grand. Thank you for sharing.
Brenda, I appreciate your sweet comments and I'm glad you come to visit me in my sewing room and enjoy seeing all my fun stitching treasures!
Loved seeing all your many quilts today! Thanks for sharing your information on picking colors and what needles you use and how you do the slow stitch, I really like your style and can't wait to try it!! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your quilts and hearing more about your sewing on your Featherweight!!! Thanks for sharing!
Carmen, I'm so glad you found the information helpful and hope you give it a try!!! I'm almost finished with the Pumpkin quilt and it feels so good to get that close to a finish after all these years! It certainly is a slow process, but it's all about the beauty of each stitch and how it makes me feel!!
I love your quilts. All my style, all my favorite designers. I also quilt that way.
Carla, I'm so glad to know you do the kind of stitching and fabric collecting that I do!! There are a few friends in my quilt guild who do the same type of fabrics and patterns that I do, but most are more modern and bright. I just love the dark fabrics!!
I just adore you Bonnie! Your square corners are just perfect!
Amy!!!! You are so sweet! I love your encouragement and support for me and my corners!!!!
Bonnie...thank you for sharing your quilts, quilting and your belief in the powers of God...best wishes❤
Loretta, thank you so much for your encouragement and taking the time to visit with me! I appreciate that!
Love Cheri Payne,was so sad when she got sick and passed, belonged to her group. 💔 I love all thr designers that you love. Thanks for all the information. I have 3 black Featherweights and1 white. I take them to retreats as they are so portable. ❤️❤️❤️ them. God's my higher power. ✝️🙏🏼
She was such an artist! I had found several quilt shops down south that had lots of her patterns and samples. The Fat Quarter in Vista and Quilt Loft (maybe San Marcos?) that we’re so amazing long ago and when I lived in CA. I have several patterns from that time and I want to make them.
Thank you for the quilt inspiration. Also the sharing of your faith.
Mary Ellen, I’m so glad you got to come by for a visit and share in our love of Jesus and stitching.
I am so glad that you’re back, and especially glad that you are doing quilting videos! I love stitching but quilting is my main stay. It is great to find another hand quilting/big stitch/folk art enthusiast. You struck a chord in me with your comments about mindfulness. Your quilts are stunning.
I’m so glad you found a stitching 🧵 friend in common in me! I have so many hobbies and such a love for color and texture, that I want to do it all! Right now I’m in such a quilt groove since I have the space and all my dear fabrics with me now. When I would visit my storage unit, I would peek at my fabric dreaming of the time I could use it all again! One time someone walked by and caught me talking to my fabric!
I loved, loved this!! You are so inspiring to my quilting heart. My go to scripture for my adult children, Psalm 91. I put their names right in there, it covers everything, my favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your faith!
Thank you for sharing that psalm! Such a good one! I have an extra challenge in both of my children have walked away from the Lord and it breaks my heart! I’m leaning hard on the Lord for strength and joy.
I love your channel. You are a pleasure to watch. Your quilts are wonderful. Do you ever do the big stitch? I am a Christian and do enjoy your happy time . Thank you . Dona inOregon..so glad you are back..🧵🪡😎🤗❤️🙏
Dona, so glad you enjoyed your visit with me! I have found that my ‘modified’ Big Stitch holds up better than the ‘typical’ Big Stitch that my Mom did. I have had to redo some of her quilts because both machine and hand big stitch didn’t hold up over time. When I do the smaller version, it is stronger. I’ll share more about that on the next video and show one of her beautiful king size quilts that I still need to restitch.
Beautiful quilts! When I quilt my quilts, I use a couple of decorative stitches and some cross hatch. I have to say,I’ve never done folk art quilts. After seeing yours, I might have to try one. I just remembered that I have a pattern I bought 5 years ago from Primative Gatherings… we are only a few miles from that shop.. and I never started it! I have to dig it up.
Candace, I'm glad I can inspire you to try some folk art quilts and get that Primitive Gatherings pattern out!!! How wonderful to live so close to Lisa's store!!! I think you should stop by there for some inspiration and see what they have on display and see how you might like to put some of those ideas in your next quilt. Thanks for visiting with me!!
Oh my goodness what a wonderful and exciting video. Love the way you talk and your work is just beautiful. How I would love to get locked in your room with all those quilts to study. Thank you so much for all the time and enthusiasm you put in to your channel. x
Diane, what a sweetheart you are! I’m thrilled to be able to share my special treasures with my sweet stitching family who wants to see them! I’m working on some new projects and can’t wait to show you!
Bonnie, you are amazingly talented! I connect with you in every way. Thank you for sharing all this wonderful content with us. Please know that you are enriching all that watch your videos. ❤
Thank you! I value your encouragement and am so glad that we share so much in common!
Thank you for sharing your passion for quilting and more importantly your faith.
Naomi, thank you for your encouragement and I’m so glad you enjoy all the things I love to show!
Thank you for this wonderful video! You are such a pleasure to watch. I could spend all day with you!!!
Elaine, what a treat to hear that! That’s exactly what I want from my stitching family!
Hi Bonnie. Wow this was awesome, to see all these beautiful, beautiful quilts and talk sewing was so much fun. Thank you for sharing, it must take a lot of effort and I appreciate you doing this. Take care and I can’t wait until the next show and tell ❤️🇬🇧
Sweet Allison, I was thinking about you and wondering what adventures you’ve been on and how your dear little village is doing. Thank you for visiting with me and enjoying my parade!
Stunning collection of quilts!!! So fun to watch. Love hearing your faith.
Sara! So glad you’re with me in Colorado after my long break! Thank you for your encouragement!
Didn’t quite understand if you use the Aurifil 80 weight for hand quilting or for hand applique? Love all the info shared in this video. Would love more information or a video where we can watch you go through your process of choosing fabrics for a quilt and why you choose the colors or prints you use. You’re so good at choosing fabrics.
I’m so glad you are enjoying seeing all my sweet quilts! I love sharing them and inspiring others to keep stitching! I use the Aurfil 80wt for hand appliqué only since it is so fine. I use Aurfil 50 wt for machine stitching and sewing on bindings. Does that make sense? I’ll try to keep sharing about my fabric choice process. That’s a good idea. Thanks for watching!
Im so thrilled that you are back! I've loved watching you from your first video! You are so down to earth and the love you have for sharing is very heartwarming! I love the slow stitch, the hand applique and hand quilting! I also have a featherweight....her name is Minnie after my Grandma! All your fabrics and designers are my favorite! Love all the civil war fabrics and patterns! I would love to be sitting next to you in your sewing room and having a sew day...chatting & going through all the things that makes us happy! ❤ But the "very best" part is the end...where you share your love for our Lord! HE is the Mighty One...who is 100% in control! We are so Blessed to have a Savior!
Till next time....May the Lord bless you and Keep you...May his face shine down upon you and give you Peace! (((Hugs)))❤
Sue! You are such a dear! How I would love to sit with you as well and natter away! At least we get to visit through video and comments here! We came to the cabin for two weeks and I brought lots of quilting projects to work on. One really unusual one that will be so fun to share as soon as I get home. See you soon and May God bless you richly as well!
Thank you Bonnie for another great video. I really enjoy seeing your beautiful quilts. I have a Featherweight that belonged to my mother and I learned to sew on it. It has been sitting in my closet but I am now anxious to get it out and use it. I look forward to the next video. Take care and my God richly bless you.
That’s so awesome that you have your Mom’s Featherweight with the memories of you learning to sew with it! Glad I could inspire you to get it out and enjoy it. I really love The Featherweight Shop’s TH-cam videos as well as their online store. I recommend watching their oil and lubricant videos and getting the supplies to get it all ready for sewing. I’ve learned the value of the metal machines and the need to care for them. I’ll share a little on the videos as I learn.
I’m so happy I found your beautiful videos. I caught your last video and then an older one where you showed project bags and the fabric from your mom, and enjoyed both so much. I lost my mom this year 51 days before her 100th birthday. I know she was ready for heaven but I’m not so sure I was. I’ll be tuning in to find you from now on.
I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit with me and share the love of our sweet Mom’s who are in Heaven! I still miss her terribly even though she’s been gone since 2014. Going to the same quilt guild as she used to go is a blessing as her friends come up and hug me, but sometimes it makes me miss her more.
First time here and subscribed and your stitching is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilts. I am 81 and want to learn. I saw a video rolling your quilts with acid free tissue paper to not get creases.
Donna, thank you for your encouragement! You are inspiring to me to never stop learning and to keep trying new things! Good point with the rolling quilts. I’ll share that as well in the next video so we can keep sharing with our stitching family!
Loved your video and seeing many quilts I had not seen in your prior videos! All so beautiful with a wealth of information to process and use. Love the One Dot A Day. Reminds me of one thread a day with cross stitch. Looking forward to the creative journey. Have a great day! 🪡
Loved seeing all your quilts. Thanks for sharing.
Theresa, so glad you enjoyed my stitching show and chatter! Thank you!
I absolutely LOVE quilting an I'm new at applique...but I love it too...
Please do more videos on these ...I love them very much ♥️
Joy, thank you so much for wanting more! I’ve got notes working for my next video to answer more questions and I’ve been working on a few new projects. See you soon!
Love your sewing machine. Love your approach. Happy stitching
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy what I have to share!
Thank you so much for sharing beautiful quilts loved them !👍🏼
Esther, so glad you enjoyed all that I had to share! Thank you for joining me!
Love Love Love your videos. I am thrilled that you’re are back!❤
Cindi, thank you so much! I’m glad to be back and refreshed with old and new stitching 🧵 to,share!
I'm so glad you're back and sharing your passion with us. I love the calming and meditative qualities of hand quilting/stitching, and love learning from others. I, too, have recently discovered @K3NClothtales and @JeriBellini and highly recommend their channels. I also love @Marion's World who creates the most amazing art with her embroidery / threads / dyed fabrics / recycled and repurposed everything! I look forward to your next video - have a lovely day! Gayle from southern USA - state of Georgia.
Hi Gayle! Isn’t there such a variety of stitching to try!? The slow stitching movement has such a draw because of the pace and just stitching the things that bring you peace. Not necessarily functional items. I’m loving to watch others’ ideas and seeing how they can inspire me to try a new stitch or project. Have you seen the rice bag that Jeri and K3n made? Love them!
@@logcabinstitcher7274 yes! Love the rice bags! On my list of things to make 😊
Another great video thanks and your quilts and quilting are stunning.
Sue, thank you so much for visiting with me and your sweet encouragement!
So enjoyed this video and the time and effort it takes you to do one. I had no idea you’ve made sooooooo many quilts and hand quilted them. I love how soft and pliable the hand quilted ones are. I do have a question…. I know when using quilting thread I bury my knot between the fabric and batting when starting and ending. Are you able to do that using Vadoni thread since it’s so thick ? I just can’t imagine that. Really enjoy your videos and already looking forward to the next one. You are looking so happy and I’m so happy for this leg of your life. So glad you have a wonderful studio to store and do all your projects in. I also have to say after watching you I always head to Amazon and end up purchasing another quilting book! 😅
I’m so glad you’re enjoying visiting with me and are getting inspired! Yes, I try to busy the knot in the batting.it is awkward sometimes and hard to feel if it’s in the batting or not. Sometimes I’m just happy to get a know in the middle and not going through to the front (I’ve done that multiple times) if I have any doubts on the security of the knot,I pop a second one in there.
Thank you for showing us all those beautiful quilts…what fun it would be to play in your sewing room…💕am looking forward to a tour..!!!x
Sue, I know it would be so fun to visit together in person, but this is the next best thing!!!
@@logcabinstitcher7274 yes, absolutely 💕💕
To keep your templates from getting tangled, put light cardboard between them while stored.
Betty, that’s a great idea! Thank you
Hello, love your videos, especially the devotionals at the end. Looking for a link to the strong magnets on Amazon? Please. Love your quilts!
You have inspired me to try slow stitching. I just came back from Washington state in visiting my baby sister. She is turning 50 this year but she is my baby sister nonetheless lol
She wants a wall hanging and I think that
Is the
Perfect size to hand stitch. God Bless and keep you always my friend.
Love Kathy
Kathy, I'm so glad you got to visit with your sister and I hope you had a sweet time! You've been on my mind and I'm praying for you! We head to Washington state soon to see my sister-in-law and her family and go on to Victoria Island. My first time up there and across the border!! I'm bringing some stitching projects. Hope you get to try the hand stitching.
I loved Gingers! It was a wonderful shop. The other great one was close by. I want to say it was something rabbit? Off Central and Arrow? Such wonderful memories. Bonnie, yours so funny !! 💙🙏
Hi Dodie! I’m so glad you found me again after all this time! Yes! It was Fabric Patch. Great store. There was a store with lots of my style fabric in Redlands when I first started quilting I think it was Calico Horse.
Can you please do a video of how you actually set up your quilt to start Big Stitch quilting? Your hoop, your needle size and your thread size. Just want to see you do a few stitches
I'll try to give you an idea of my stitching set up in my next video. I don't use a hoop for hand quilting. If I can figure out how to edit the videos and video my stitching, I will share it.
I love your videos so much. Your quilts are gorgeous, and now I want to make a log cabin which I’ve never done after all the years I’ve been quilting. What pattern do you use for the log cabin? Thank you for sharing your faith, and encouraging bible studies and prayer, I need to get back into one. I pray for my two adult children also. ❤
How fun to inspire you to work on some log cabin blocks! I’ll share a few of my favorite patterns on my next video….gotta make a note! I have one I haven’t shared yet that I worked on at the cabin. You can do so many different varieties with the width of the strips and it changes the look. Jo Morton and Kim Diehl have log cabin blocks often in their books.
Great video!!
Lori, thank you and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Beautiful quilts, love your hand quilting. I have a question about hanging the quilts, do you cover them with something like a garment bag? I’ve had clothes that have hung in a closet for years and they get dirty on the top and sometimes discolored. Would that happen to the quilts? Maybe get some cheaper pillowcases, cut a small hole for the hanger and clip that over the quilts? Just an idea.
I love the same prim style you love.
Hi Becky! I haven’t covered my quilts and they can get dusty. I usually have them folded in plastic boxes under the bed or on shelves away from direct sunlight. Even across a large room, the sun could cause damage, so I get them out, give them a good shake outside if necessary and refold them a different way or put them out and use them. So far so good.
Thank you for all you share, especially scripture and love of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. See you again soon.
Joan, I'm so glad you love the end of my videos and that we are sisters in Christ!
There are flat hook shaped threaders for the Valdani (12) Amazon
Rachel, thanks for the heads up!! There are so many nifty gadgets out there to help make our stitching easier. Thanks for sharing.
Loved your video! Those quilts and fabric choices are what I gravitate to also. Thanks so much for sharing them along with your quilting supplies preferences. I will be watching your recommended slow quilting videos and checking out the Featherweight Shop since I have a Featherweight. What do you use to sew an accurate 1/4”seam? Is there a special foot or guide? I am a quilter so know the work it takes to make a quilt. It is a labor of love.
I'm glad you've got a featherweight as well!! They are so great to travel with because of their size! I bought the 'Accurate Seam guide' on the Featherweight Shop site. They have a screw in plastic guide as well, but I can't get it to go in on my one machine and haven't even tried it on my second. I just use a short stack of Postit notes (black of course!) that I got on Amazon to use as a guide once I've used the seam guide to find the right spot. (I'll show that on my next video). I also LOVE the Little Foot original 1/4 inch foot (looks kinda funny with the red stripes but it is AMAZING!. You can find that on the featherweight shop site as well as 123 Stitch
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Thank you for your reply and suggestions. I will be most definitely checking those out. Looking forward to your next video.
I feel like you are my kindred spirit! Oh my goodness! I love your videos so much! I am going back to video one and I'm going to watch each and every episode. I have a question about the foundation paper pieced pineapple quilt, when you use the paper do the seams nest when you put the blocks together? I am trying to picture it in my head but I have never done paper piecing so I can't figure it out. Thank you for your kind soul and calming nature, I also moved out of CA but we are in AZ in the mountains, so much better and calmer than living in CA! Take care...Dora
Dora! What a sweetheart, I’m so glad we have so much in common and that you want to watch more! You’ll see my CA sewing room and a younger and thinner me! Good question about seams nesting when you out the blocks together for paper piecing…I’ll try to share more about that in the next video. But, no, the pineapple block doesn’t nest. It doesn’t always match perfectly either, it it’s so busy, that it doesn’t really show. And, the seams can be a bit thick because they don’t nest, they overlap. I’ll address that next!
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Aww, thank you so much Bonnie! I look forward to your next video! I am enjoying all of your videos, oh my goodness you have so much goodness to share and I am learning so much along the way! I even took out a UFO that only needed quilting and I basted it for hand quilting, thank you for all of the inspiration! Take care...Dora
@@quiltingqueen3835 good job! I just saw my sister and we talked about the joy of finishing old UFOs and how silly it was to leave them so long.
@@logcabinstitcher7274 I totally agree!
Throat Coat tea helps with your voice
I loved your enthusiasm, and I appreciate all that you shared. I found the joy truly infectious.
When you say you hand quilt with the Aurifil 80 wt, do you me piecing, appliqué or hand quilting with it? I was confused because you showed the Valdani to quilt with. Maybe you use Valdani for slow stitch and the Aurifil for the usual hand quilting?
Thank you for your encouragement! I love it! Sometimes I get my words mixed up,specially when I’m sharing so many things! I use the Aurfil 80wt for hand appliqué. I sew on my machines with Aurifil 50wt. I hand stitch the back of the binding on with 50wt. And I hand quilt with Valdani size 12 pearl cotton. Lots of different threads! I do love my thread! Hope that all makes sense!
@@logcabinstitcher7274 This is what I thought you meant, but I wanted to clarify. I love the fine 80 wt. Please keep doing what you’re doing! And don’t worry about time. I love a long video!! ❤️
@@Okie_Stitches thank you, once I get started I hate to stop!
I loved seeing your quilts, they are amazing. Do you quilt them on a stand or in hand?
Thank you! I quilt in hand. I’m hoping I can figure out a way to video while I stitch so I can really make it easier to show how I do it.
Hi cute
I found you for the first time when you podcast #16. I am enjoying your content since we have the same color favorites. I have been quilting for 50 years and am now making wall hangings to use up some of my remaining fabrics. I have one comment about storing quilts in an attic. Unless your attic will be climate controlled, I do not recommend it. Also, any tiny slit or hole in the attic can allow furry little friends to visit which can cause damage to your quilts, especially when they find batting inside them. Just my thoughts. Please continue your informative podcasts.
Jan, so glad you enjoyed your visit with me and hope you got some inspiration for trying something new as well. Good thoughts on the attic storage. It’s not a typical attic and was just a crawl space turned into an insulated and dry walled area. You never know about that tiny space that can let critters in though! I’ll give it some more thought…I appreciate your input!
Is there a pattern for the king size quilt. I absolutely love it
That’s Kim Diehl’s Sprigs & Twigs. It’s a lap size in the pattern book. I got it in the Fons & Porter Love of Quilting magazine March/April
2013, but you can find it in her Simple Appeal quilt book also. Glad you loved it!
K3n and Judith Hill are great stitching artisans 😊
I haven’t heard of Jude Hill, but I just searched and found her channel and subscribed. Looks like she does great tutorials for slow stitching.
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Oh yes...Jude ☺
What size needle do you use to do the “Big Stitch?”
I get a variety pack of embroidery needles, so I can fine one that I can thread with the pearl cotton. It’s a 5/10 size pack. I see Amazon has a pack of John James which is a good brand. I’m going to order some and give them a try. Try a few in the pack in the mid size and see how comfortable it is. Hope that helps. Keep asking questions!
I get a lot of my used books and magazines from Ebay. I chose the option Free Shipping and I have never had any problems. Do you wash your quilts? If so, do they hold up pretty well when doing big stitch? What batting is best for hand stitching?
Donna, I don’t wash my quilts very often, it when I do I use a very mild laundry soap and put in 3 or 4 Color Catchers to catch any fabric dye bleeding and wash on gentle cycle. I often lie them flat on my rug to dry. With the Big Stitch, my modified length of stitch helps it become stronger and it holds up fine, rather than a longer stitch that can snap. I’ll talk about that in the next video. I used to use Warm and Natural cotton batting, which is a good quality, but thicker than I want now. I alternate now and use Quilters Dream batting in the Request cotton thickness.
Absolutely beautiful quilts .do you stitch all of the quilt by hand ? And no sewing on a machine ?
Beverley, I machine sew (piece) the quilt top together and if there is applique that is done by hand. When I quilt the three layers together (top, back and batting in the middle) that I primarily do by hand. I just love how it looks and how it makes me feel with needle and thread in my hand!! I want to get more comfortable with machine quilting, but it will take some practice.
Your hand quilting - do you stitch only through the top layer and the batting? Stitching thru all 3 layers would be too hard on the hands, right?
I do stitch through all three layers. I guess the trick is finding the needle that makes you feel comfortable with the thickness of the pearl cotton thread but allows you to get 3 to 4 stitches loaded on the needle. The pack of size 5/10 embroidery needle from Piecemakers is the best. If you start with a small quilt project with the thinner cotton batting and regular cotton fabric (not batik) it would be a good way to try it out.
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Thank you for all the tips...sounds like the needle is the trick. I will find those needles from Piecemakers.
What size needle do you use for hand quilting and the floss
When I hand quilt with the size 12 pearl cotton, I like to use a 5/10 assorted package of embroidery needles. That way, I can use the smallest needle that the thread will fit through the eye of. I usually use Piecemakers brand, but I just ordered John James needles on Amazon to try. Let me know if that answers your question. Thanks for visiting!
Could you please tell me the name of the book towards the end that you are collecting pink and reds? Thank you
I do need to do a slower view of that book! It's called French Farmhouse: Quilts with Rustic Simplicity by Marie-Claude Picon. It's not easy to find at a reasonable price right now, but if you want it, I found a link to a shop that has it on sale.

It's frustrating when you want to buy an older quilt book and it has crazy prices!!!
I'll be sharing it again (slower!) on the next video because I've had a few questions about it, so I hope you can get it if you want. There are several quilts in there that I would like to make.
What is the name of the book- it has the pink/red quilt that you are working on gathering your fabrics?
I should have showed it closer…it’s French Farmhouse: Quilts with Rustic Simplicity by Marie-Claude Picon. I just looked it up and there are copies still available if you search online.
What kind of batting do you use when hand quilting?
I use Warm and Natural cotton (it is thicker) as well as Quilters Dream brand in the Request cotton thickness which is thinner and easier to stitch with. Either of them are good quality.
Really , Really mis your cross stitch channel. Just thought I might tell you this. Lovely work but not for me.
Even though you don’t quilt, it’s so sweet for you to take a peek and see me!
