@merrymabelmarket Hello, I watched a longer video of your use of the shape cutter ruler. I was wondering if you think it would be a good option for cutting various width long strips. I need to make webbing from 500D Cordura with buried edges...that would be 4 layers of 1" width. I can't find a foot accessory for my vintage 158 Kenmore, so looking at options. Hope you are altogether better now. Prayers 🙂🙏
Thank you for doing this.... it's about time more people got into being creative and flying by the seat of their pants... we all have so much to "use up"... why not! I've been doing this for years and wished more people could understand my love of it all!
“Just play”… and “randomly exactly” I love your teaching style and the way you combine permission to be creative along with the importance of being careful in the execution- glad I found your channel - subscribed ☑️
So refreshing to watch videos with voice over…rather than videos with no talking and repetitive background music. You weave a great story and have a wonderful clear voice box! Thank you….
I am definitely afraid of fabric - but I’m bursting with colour confidence as I used to be a hand dyer of luxury knitting yarns - I lack the daring to actually cut into the fabric in case I make mistakes and then it’s gone. And it’s too beautiful to cut. It’s completely irrational but I wonder if I will ever overcome that to the point where I can cut open one of my gorgeous collection of layer cakes or jelly rolls or my stash of scrummy yardage and not feel incredibly anxious that I’m about to make a mess! I am halfway through piecing my first ever quilt and it’s the Jelly Makers Cabin Quilt, a super easy and ‘safe’ pattern for a newbie, but still I’m terrified! That’s why I am so enjoying your channel, you are like an encouraging auntie teaching me to quilt and to have confidence in my own ability to try and to learn!
Yes - tell yourself there is always more beautiful fabric out there. You will figure it out. Or.... buy a yard of cheap garbage fabric - and start cutting to create confidence and muscle memory. Just CUT and CUT and CUT into little 1/2 inch pieces so that you can figure out accuracy and get some cutting experience.
Wonderful use of leftover strip sets, with beautiful results. I just finished a small charity lap quilt made from all my red and pink strips...randomly sewn together. It came out great and I did have some leftovers...Thanks for the inspiration for using them as "starters" for another one!
I love using as many scraps as possible in my projects! This video totally inspires me to experiment a little more with my borders! Thank you so much for sharing💕
This is the way i have always made my quilts. I thought that is how it was done. I have never used a pattern. It really kicks the creativity into high gear.
Greetings from British Columbia, Canada to my quilting compatriots. 👋❤️🇨🇦. This is a great idea. 😀 I am currently making crumb blocks, this time for a cuddle mat for my daughter’s bunnies.
Thanks. I enjoy witnessing your creative play. I do the same thing. Some of my favorite creations came from left overs and freeplay. I love how your Africa table topper turned out!
I just gave the little quilt to my friend with the Africa Room yesterday. (I actually gave him both animal print little quilts. He was so happy to get them. (I don't really decorate in animal prints either.) They were so fun to make though! Tee hee...
I was afraid of fabric, it was hard to sleep at night, ya know, pull up the blankets and "ah!" Scary. But thanks to you a feel like I can face my fears, thank you.
So SOO beautiful. Both of them! Gosh I enjoy watching you create so much since I'm a beginner at quilting. Since finding you a couple weeks ago, your strip piecing ?( I think) has fascinated me to no end and your fabric choices are just all stuff I love as well.
Ce n'est pas des restes de tissus c'est carrément un choix mûrement réfléchi de note Africaine. Moi j'aurai ajouté arbres et animaux d'Afrique.merci pour le partage...

Please excuse my "rough" voice. I've been ill. Hopefully the rest of my voice will find it's way home. lol!!
Feel better ❤️🩹
Hope your feeling better everyday in everyway.
Hope it's getting better and better...........😊

Absolutely!! Well said!
I totally agree we spend too much time conforming to others It is only fabric there is no right or wrong Sew what you want and what makes you happy
This is my goal! I want to benablt to throw something together like this.
Fabulous use of your leftovers 😃 And you made it look so easy 👍 This video will encourage everyone to be more creative with their scraps 👏👏🇬🇧
So nice of you

Love that!
I love the way that your brownish runner came out. Thanks for demonstrating and showing how I can use my scrapes. Both projects are fun!
Love this project. You are easy to follow and your instructions/methods are wonderful. Keep putting out these much appreciated videos!
Thank you! Will do!

Great ideas....I'm not an "animal print" person, but really like what you've done here. The animal prints look great.
I just gave the little quilt to my friend with the Africa Room yesterday. (I actually gave him both animal print little quilts. He was so happy to get them. (I don't really decorate in animal prints either.) They were so fun to make though! Tee hee...
What a great way to use up those scraps! I'm sure your friend is going to love the animal print one.
I hope so!
Good comments on how pressing and straight seams can really make the difference, even when you are working improvisationally.
It's so important. Thank you.
You always choose interesting colors, and they look great! I need to be more adventurous in my choices. Not boring!
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! very nice! Turned out so cute, thank you for the video!
Thank you! Cheers!
What great ideas! I never auditioned before and can’t wait to try.
I hope you love it.
Love this, as always!! Glad you are feeling better!
I am!
They both turned out great...I think the jungle print would look nice as a pillow also.
A pillow would be a great idea!
I so enjoyed watching that! Thank you
Love this quilt. Great idea.
Those are so pretty! What a great use for leftover strip scraps:)
And pure fun to do!
This is WAY cute! Well done!
Great video to improvise and come up with a great quilt.
Thank you! Cheers!
Both finished beautifully
Thank you! Such a good idea! They’re lovely!
Glad you like them!
Thank you such a good idea.
