My first bike memory was walking to the hardware store with my dad to buy it. We lived downtown behind our family restaurant. The hardware store was 3 blocks away and sold many things including Schwinns. I proudly walked home, struggling to push along an adult sized beautiful blue bicycle that was so much too big for a six year old girl. I learned to ride it on the sidewalk outside the restaurant right outside the plate glass windows with our cheering, regular patrons enjoying their meals as my dad ran alongside me, helping me balance. Good times!
My bike memory, my older brother wrapped a blanket around the bike bars so I could straddle it because I couldn’t reach the seat. He then pushed me off the driveway and I proceeded to run into the cement wall of the playground. I lived through it with many wonderful bike riding memories. Oh, did have a few wheels stuck in rails of railroad crossings ( no trains were involved!,)
My bike memory: When we were young, I had a 20 inch bicycle. My little brother had a really small bike with training wheels. He wanted the training wheels off, but had trouble balancing without them. I realized that his bike was just too small for him, so offered to help him ride mine. He took off and rode it perfectly. But then I regretted it, because he wanted to always ride MY bike! 😁
Don't know how I missed you yesterday but I got two in one day! Love the childhood memories blk! Grate visit. Fixing to watch today's video (hubby & I had doc appointments early this morning). Hopefully today was a great day at your house!!
Loved your childhood memories pattern. The choice of fabrics is perfect, the strip chevron works so well. Thanks for the tips on using stripes. Always enjoy your videos!!
Good Morning Pat! I absolutely love your Bicycle block this morning. That chevron is stunning. We lived at a lake when I learned to ride a bike. I learned on a dirt road. My favorite bike memory though is from about 10 years ago when my 80 year old dad jumped on my bike and rode it. The joy on his face as he was coming back up the driveway is such a wonderful memory. Dad has been gone for 5 1/2 years now. Sweet memory.
Pat…I love how real you are! As I watched as you cut fabric too wide and then sort out the fabric direction for the chevrons I could totally identify. Thank you for sharing these moments when things don’t go exactly as planned!
Bike memory: starting babysitting at 11 and a half and saved my money for 6 months to buy the most beautiful, SCHWIN sparkly turquoise bike with white wall wheels and darling flowered white woven basket. I had it on layaway at the local toy store and would ride my raggedy passed down from a cousin bike to make payments each weekend on it. All my Christmas and Birthday money went on it too. And you can imagine how wonderful that was when I had the last $5 to pay for that gorgeous bike. I rode it every Sat to the library to get six new books for a couple years and riding there by myself on my sparkly bike is one of my most favorite memories of childhood.
“Home Is”…. I love the colors you chose for this quilt! It just pops out. I am absolutely amazed with all the quilts you are juggling! I know it’s your job, but you must be SUPER organized!
I absolutely love your block Wednesday with the chevron !,, I am thinking of using that for a whole quilt,! Thank you so much! When I was about 9 , I received my first new bike! It was a purple and white Schwinn cruiser..being from a big family we mostly got hand me downs and this was my birthday and it was brand new! I loved it!
Thanks for your daily videos. I really enjoy watching and learning while having my morning coffee. My bicycle memory is not a good one either Pat. I fell off tricycle and down a set of cement steps and landed short of falling off a wall next to the bottom of the steps. I had a broken arm and had surgery. I still remember bits and pieces of the fall and that was 60+ years ago.
I LOVE IT. That angled stripe with the chevron really makes that block! I have been riding a full-size bike since I was about 5-6 years old. Never had training wheels. A neighborhood kid with a bike taught me. My Dad was military and was in the Dominic Republic for 15 months during the uprising where the US offered aid to them to prevent a take-over. I do remember getting a blue full-size bike for Christmas--my middle sister got a red smaller bike that year. We used to ride our bikes all over the place--and I have scars on my knees from bike wrecks. We didn't get to take them to Germany, but when we went to Colorado, we did. The same year I got my bike, I also got my first Barbie doll (1964)
You are making me feel SO much better by allowing us to see when you make mistakes. I've had to pull from stash twice now because of cutting wrong. The good news is that my "stash" is primitive-style fabric that someone gave me years ago when I was first learning to quilt. Having gotten caught up in the cycle of "oooooh, I love that new fabric", I have never touched it until now. What a life-saver - and fun to discover that she gave me a lot of very beautiful fabric that is working out very well.
I have so many bike memories…one of them was riding up in the hills with the kids in my neighborhood. We would pack food because we would be gone all day. No bodies mother ever worried about us. Those times have gone away.
Love your Sweet Childhood Memories block, that red stripe is perfect. And that Stronger Together Quilt is absolutely amazing in both the design and fabric selection. Thank you for all you do!
I saved up and bought myself a brand new bike when I was 12 and the first time I road it I was going down,not a very steep hill with a road going across the end of the road I was on and as I went to applied the break there was no break so I went across the cross road and ended up hiting a barbed wire fence and went across the the handle bars landing on the fence and at 71 I still have the scares across my upper tummy. But I loved that bike, it gave me so many happy hours on weekends and holidays going on adventures with my friends. Love this block, been working on a quilt that has mant 1/2 square triangles and have a few that I've had to remake but have been able to salvage some by trimming down for smaller blocks.
The new Sweet Childhood Memories block is beautiful! You’re making the Stronger Together QAL look doable- I was afraid of this pattern and now I believe I can do it❤❤
My bike was a used adult boy's bike. Learned to ride by staying upright with a neighbor kid pushing me down a small slope in the barnyard. If I lost my balance, I landed in a huge patch of 'bullnettle' weeds. Ouch the stickers were bad. We rode on the gravel road in front of house after I learned to ride. Have hit the gravel at top speed more than once and did a somersault bike and all. Ouch. Love the Stronger Together quilt!!
Good morning. I live in ND and my children live in Oregon. We take hwy 2 which turns into the Lewis and Clark trail. I’m also currently reading Husband Wife- Master Slave. excellent book.
My bike memory: I “borrowed” one neighbor boy’s bike and another neighbor backed over the bike…I got in trouble, but my dad did buy me a second hand bike if my own after that. I was 5.❤
I’m loving the fabrics your using for the Together quilt. Could you tell me the fabric line. You are definitely a very busy lady, so thank you for all you share. 👍❤️😊
I love this block. My bike story...I was riding my bike barefoot and my foot slipped off the pedal, it went between the spokes causing the front wheel to stop. The back wheel went up and over and I found myself of the ground with my foot bleeding. Luckily thuis happpened in front of my friend's house and her Mom ran out and helped me inside. Long story short my foot was broken. ouch. I still rode my bike, but not without shoes.
Oh the bike memories I have! My brother and his friends would “build” bikes and have me test drive them! 😮 wheels flying off, no steering ... and many skinned knees later, I finally figured out that wasn’t a good gig for me 😂
Good Morning Pat, That Stringer Together is going to be a Beautiful Quilt❣️ And your Star block looks fantastic with those stripes. 👏 I hope you and Gregg have a good week. 🥰 Chris
Mirror image is always confusing my brain! The only way I get it is to fold the fabric back on itself (wrong sides together) and most importantly DO NOT CUT AT 10pm! It’s beautiful!

Love the stripes on the block. Thanks for the tip on how you cut them. They look fabulous.

Pat, I’m looking forward to seeing your strawberry quilt replaced by your spool quilt, as well as, the spool quilts of others.
I LOVE IT. That angled stripe with the chevron really makes that block!

Good morning, great block and so pretty❤
That block is stunning.
That block is beautiful. I have several stripe fabrics. I'll have to try that

You are so cute! Remind me of my kindergartners when you say drawling!
Love Stacie's fabric and your block. I cannot and never will be able to ride a bike. I need an adult trike!

Bike memory: Teaching my kids.
Good morning. I live in ND and my children live in Oregon. We take hwy 2 which turns into the Lewis and Clark trail. I’m also currently reading Husband Wife- Master Slave. excellent book.
Interesting that your last name is janet Clark! Here in Canada it is Black History Month 🇨🇦 ty for the book recommend.

Kendall used Stomp Stomp Roar by Stacy lest Hsu Moda Fabrics.
I think Kendall is using Stomp Stomp Roar by the same designer Stacy Iest Hsu. I know it has dinosaurs. Both fabric lines are wonderful!
Oh the bike memories I have! My brother and his friends would “build” bikes and have me test drive them! 😮 wheels flying off, no steering ... and many skinned knees later, I finally figured out that wasn’t a good gig for me 😂
Love how you worked thru your mistakes to make a bright , interesting block! Doesn't remind me of bike riding lol

Good Afternoon Pat, I love your jacket! I checked the notes but didn't find a link for it. Please share if yiu don't mind. Thank you! 🤗
One mistake, fix it; two mistakes? Time for a break.
