I own an HVAC company. I think you are talking about a mini split. Lorena has those in her new building. They work awesomely in an area where you can't run ductwork for heating and air conditioning.
Thank you!! Yes, I think that's what she called it.
We added a mini split to our garage. Temps can range from teens to triple digits over the course of the year. Makes it so much more comfortable for hubs to work on his car year round.
Thank goodness Keith is a pro builder.
I like the circular thread rack too. I want one too. Great idea!!!
If you get your husband to figure out that wonderful revolving thread stand with doors--put it in your PTWT shop for sale!!!! Love your tips!!!
I am with you on loving to make quilts. I donate my quilts to a organization call Quilt for Kids, they our out of Philadelphia PA.
Bless you Becky for donating your love of quilting to organizations! Our church has a group of quilting ladies (I participate when I can-not yet retired) that piece together donated fabric and backs. We do the knotting technique instead of the quilting step. Our quilts use to go overseas, but since there is a need locally most of our covers go to the homeless shelters. We also have an organization of quilters whose mission is to make a quilt for veterans in the community. My husband and other veterans in our church were each presented with a beautiful quilt. If I get a chance, I will post a picture on fb.
Those are such worthwhile causes for quilt donations. No quilt should go unused!
Lol Keith is going to be busy! Not sure when he will have time to make a thread stand with all the seam rippers he's making. God bless you and all you're doing 😊. Keep it up!
Lorena redid her thread holders
God bless you! I also give my quilts away, Carl Perkins center dos auctions all the time to raise funds for the prevention of child abuse. This is close to my heart.
I can just picture that thread stand you imagined.. perfect idea.
Hi Becky the Easter cross at start all I saw was an anchor
Yes a thread stand that swivels with storage behind the threads. I want the pattern when that happens. Awesomeness
Love ya lots
I told him he could easily sell the pattern. We might have to put a digital download on our store site for the thread stand and ruler racks!
When I bought my Lulu, she came with the complete range of Hemmingworth threads. Each spool has its protective platic lid and all arranged in pull out drawers in a cabinet according to colour.
Each compartment has stickers indicating the colours stored there. Very organized!! Great for the North Queensland sun - everything protected. 🧵🧵🧵
Whoops!! That should read plastic.
I don’t pre-wash quilt fabric either, but if I am making masks or something else with it I will serge the edges prior to pre-washing - keeps it from fraying and unraveling. 🙂
Love the idea that you give away your quilts. Our church group gives quilts and crocheted throws to low income nursing homes. It's a great way to use up scraps and pop with a lot of color. I machine sew down the binding as they will probably go through a lot of heavy washing.
I machine bind as well.
I'm looking firward to you sew-along making the cross& Easter lillies!
Hi Becky! I saw the Merry & Bright wall hanging at an OESD event and it is Beautiful! If I can get motivated and work quickly, I hope to have that tile scene done by Christmas. If not, I'll be joining you in July! LOL!!
Thanks Becky. Love your videos
Love your newsy chats! I had visions of you being in the sewing room all day working on projects, but come to find out that isn't necessarily the case! Nice to know you are enjoying retirement. Love the sweatshirts for your mom. I just finished a sweatshirt today for myself with 3 snowmen. Cold days are happening up here in Illinois and needing sweatshirts again. Take good care - stay safe and well. Hi Keith!
Thanks for the Q & A video and telling us about your upcoming projects and a day in the life of Becky Thompson. See you next time.
So Pretty. I made one last year for our Church. They Loved it
I put a Mitsubishi mini-split in my 16X40 sewing studio and it works great. Highly recommend them.
I really like your block!
Love to always watch your videos, one of my very favorites 😍
Yay! Thank you!
It cracked me up when you called it a personnel door.
I buy Seresto for my big fluffy yellow cat, Cowboy! I have been using it for years! Love it.
The best!
Clear vinyl hanging from the top would likely work for keeping the thread from getting dusty.
That may be an option depending on the weight of the plexi glass he can find. I did that for my ruler racks and it doesn't help with floating dog fur unfortunately.
Becky, really enjoyed all your videos and helpful information. With most gift buying probably being done online this year, do you have hints any of Must Have items we can our family? Would love to hear your gift ideas for embroidery and quilting. Of course your seam ripper is already on the list!!!
Thanks.
Hmmm...That's a great idea for a video!
Lol I live in Tenn.
I think the air conditioning unit you are referring to is called a Mini Split. I don’t know if it is one word ( Minisplit) or two ( Mini Split), but it shouldn’t be too hard to find out. God loves you. God bless.
Becky, once again you were wonderful and you make me smile every time I watch you. By the way, that embroidered wall hanging you sent to Joy was very pretty and I loved the passage on it - very meaningful. Can you tell me where you purchased your supplies of thread and the pattern for Merry and Bright that you will be doing next July? I am going to try and get it done before Christmas if I can still get the supplies ordered very soon. Take care now and God Bless you and Keith. Thank you for your help and keep making the video as we so love watching you and learning you trips and sew a-longs.
Thank you! Here are all the links for the Merry and Bright.

Hey Becky. Totally NOT related to anything we love to do, but you mentioned that Keith sprays around your house for bugs. My husband won't spray, nor will he let me spray, anywhere near our house for fear it will harm Grace (our dog baby who is 10 1/2). What does Keith use? Clearly it's safe for dogs or you wouldn't use it. Another great visit with you. Thanks!

@@PowerToolsWithThread Thanks!
I would get clear drawers for your thread Light and dust are the worst thing for threads
ROFL! We had to tie our Christmas tree up for several years because our kitty used to climb it and turn it over! You would have thought we would have learned after the first year........
Love your thread stand idea! The wall hanging is beautiful. How special to have that for Easter. Do you have any suggestions for a beginner embroidery machine? I am interested in dipping my toe into something new!😁 Thanks for your very informative videos. I know I am late, but thank you and your husband for your service.
There was a guy that went to Houston quilt festival who made the thread racks that spun around and other kinds. Wish I knew his business name Sorry. You might google to get the pictures of what you might like.
Ma’am, what! Air Force! I like you even more now. Congrats on your retirement. I will be there in 2025!
I love your fabric choices on the sweet pea Easter Lily. Do you have the names of those fabrics by chance?
The base fabric is a yellow-to-gold ombre' that I found somewhere. Then I used a wood grain from Timeless Treasures, and green for the leaves.
Sewing before coffee? Surely you jest!! 😱Thats almost obscene! Forget the quilt police, 🦹♂️You could be in trouble with the coffee police!! LOL!
Did I say that??? LOL I certainly didn't mean it. The coffee maker is my FIRST stop...then I head into the sewing room. :-)
@@PowerToolsWithThread I knew it, takes a coffee girl to know a coffee girl! My grandkids(5,8,11) practically drank it out of their bottles, just like their daddy. Enjoy that first cup and then go sew something!💕
Who has the thread on sale? That is for the tile scene
😘
Found it. How did you match your brown thread on cross with the bottom and hanging fabric.? Really matches well.
Regarding washing your fabric, what about shrinkage?
I don't worry about it a whole lot. If shrinking makes the quilt crinkly and cuddly, that's fine. I use poly thread on the longarm so things stay pretty much in place.
Becky, I was wondering what size will you be sewing during the Christmas in July? I want to ensure I purchase correct size stabilizer. TIA
Well I could work in the garage just not keep my Fabrics in there there's a place where I want to kind of work in the garage but not necessarily keep the Fabrics in there
Hello Becky. I was wondering where you got the letters that were on your cut out fabric from your block of the month.
Becky , I bought the “Merry and Bright” with the thread package. What fabric are you going to use for it? And how much do I need?
I have a CM360 Scan n Cut, will the new fabric mat work with this ? I really have problems with the one I have. TIA
hi just wondering will the 14x91/2 hoop fit my innovis 2600 if you can help me that will be great love all of your videos
Becky, is it possible sweet pea isn’t offering the cross and.illy design anymore? Clicked on your link and it wasn’t there.
Excuse me, link to the cross panel doesn't work.
