Hello ,I am returning to my passion of quilting.i hadn't had the heart to quilt since my husband had passed he was my biggest supporter ,so proud of every quilt I'd make Now I am excited to get back to quilting and sewing .my first quilt will be for myself as I've never kept anything I've ever sewed or quilted for myself. I also am excited to make a quilt for my husband's niece as she is so good to me Lately I just absorb you tube quilting videos and newsletters and Facebook reels .I just am so excited by all the tricks and hints and patterns. I would love to win this giveaway the fabric and tools in giveaway are perfect to get me on my way to to fun and creativity. I'm hoping and excited .❤❤❤
Can you do a video (or maybe you have done this already) talking about your long arm? I am thinking about getting some sort of long arm but do not know where to start
Love your videos but I do prefer just hearing you without the music in the background. Appreciate your effort and talent that goes into these- always a bright spot in my day!
WOW! each of those ideas is wonderful. What don't you think of, That canvas idea is fabulous! Have you tried using the Adding Machine Tape for scrap busting? Use the NON-thermal tape and just start sewing scraps of different widths to it, make it as wide as you want, very clever and stress relieving. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much Di! I am looking forward to our next collaboration ... I hope you and your family had a great Christmas.... Thanks for watching my channel.
I’ve done the mod podge with scraps of fabric in crazy quilt fashion and applied it to a hefty cardboard box inside and out. I used pinking shears to reduce strings. Thanks for some great ideas here. I found your channel through Sister Chicks. I’ve made myself a few reusable shopping bags from the prequilted fabrics. They have a little insulation value for cold items. My problem is I tend to make them a little big and then they get heavy when full of groceries.
Hi April, Love all 5 of your ideas but man that first one got me! I definitely am getting a canvas and Santa panel to make one for MYSELF. Lol. Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉
Hi April, I am watching you while I wrap Xmas presents at the last minute….like every year🤪 It is now 2.30am on Xmas Day and I am going to toddle off to bed soon for a few hours sleep before the craziness starts! Thank you for all your hard work throughout the year. I eagerly await each of your videos, you are always funny and cheerful and I love your projects. Watching you always makes me smile. Much love to you and your family from Brisbane, Australia 🥰🥰🥰
April, I really like all of your last minute gift ideas, BUT I/we need a new house large enough for 10 people! We had a fire on the 8th & our old house is so messed up. One room is left habitable. Do you have one in your pocket? We're working with insurance & Red Cross has been great!
Your work is always awesome. You share tips and tricks which helps me so much. I love tote bags. Will you please share with me how you keep the bottom of yours from sagging?. Merry Christmas
I have used the idea of fabric on canvas for a long time. The biggest piece is my headboard that is fabric over canvas and batting in between. It has lasted over 25 years. Finding the 96” canvas was the hardest part. Thank you for the video. Those are great ideas. Guess I should start on them for next Christmas so they would no longer be classified as last minute. Lol. Am using the quick table runner you demonstrated last year. Merry Christmas to you and your family and the fur babies. Hope your granddaughter gets interested in helping you with your sewing/craft projects. 🎄
@quilterTricialove doggies, Thank you April for these great ideas. My favorite one: Taking your practice qulting sandwich to cut up for the States T shirt! Just Brilliant!!. Merry Xmas to you & your family Thank You, fondly Tricia
Great ideas. I have a question. Your fabric shelves are so functional looking. ¿¿Can you show us how?? Merry 🎄 Christmas and thanks so much for brightening my year. 🎶💐💖
I did a short on it ... all it is ---- comic book boards ... I wrap my material around and store in the wooden treats... they are from Joann.... I put a link in the description for the comic book boards... I ordered from AMAZON.
Hi April. Thanks for all your videos. Wonderful ideas and great instructions. Love the canvas idea some fabric I just can't cut up😂 love to see your grand children and pets in your videos. Also your bloopers 😂😂😂 MERRY 🎄 ❤
Toothpaste (not gel) will take crayons off. Top stitching first would be a good idea for me. Where did you get the pattern (template) for the states? I love to work in scraps.
See if you can find an old road map for the state you need and trace the outline or take it to an office supply store that has a large copy machine and see if they can adjust the size of the outline of the state to meet the desired size.
These are awesome ideas👍👍🏆 I love the canvas one and the applica...never even thought of that..where did you find a template in the shape of the states? Merry Christmas Ms.April...may your Christmas be merry, bright, and full of chocolate for you.May your new year be blessed and bountiful and you stay safe and healthy 🙏❤️🎄
April, I love you content and humor, and I appreciate the effort you put in making the videos. However, I just couldn’t with the music overlaying your voice.
Stop with the background music ... it distracts from your instructions and frankly is just plain annoying... Otherwise I enjoy your videos and the project ideas you share.
the first is my favorite, i love animals
Thank you!
You could use a wallpaper roller if you need to squeeze out the bubbles on the canvas
Thank you Vonnie. That is an excellent idea. 😀
Or a brayer if you have one for papercrafting! @@aprilscraftroom
Or let the mod podge dry, apply the fabric and use a warm iron to reactivate the glue.
Good morning silly lady Donna here love the cavas panel
Thank you !
Merry Christmas
Same to you!
Merry Christmas April! 🎅
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate you watching my channel! Merry Christmas!

Painters drop canvas works very well for shopper s tote bags and totes. Quilted or nonquilted.
That is an awesome idea... thanks for sharing

Your work is always awesome. You share tips and tricks which helps me so much. I love tote bags. Will you please share with me how you keep the bottom of yours from sagging?. Merry Christmas
Fusible foam??? Ask at your nearest fabric store ☺️.
fusible stabilizer works wonders on projectS

I suppose I could do that with the State of Queensland, Australia ❤tysm❤
Great ideas and as usual great video. Music was fine. It is just different from your usual format. Thanks for being great.
Gracie is a versatile longarm ❤
Good luck finding placemats though . I have had no luck finding them anywhere
slim pickins around this time of year!
Loved your video so many ideas for me to do in the upcoming new year. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you! You too!
Thank you so much. I loved the ideas. Love from Bardstown Ky. You are great.
Thank you so much!
Great ideas! Love the canvas!

You are so welcome!

I just found an SVG on ETSY and used it to cut out a template
These are awesome ideas👍👍🏆 I love the canvas one and the applica...never even thought of that..where did you find a template in the shape of the states?
Merry Christmas Ms.April...may your Christmas be merry, bright, and full of chocolate for you.May your new year be blessed and bountiful and you stay safe and healthy 🙏❤️🎄
Thank you so much!!! The state outline was an SVG cut I found on ETSY
Love your videos
Thank you so much!!!
Your ideas are PURE AWESOMENESS!! 🥰🎉 Merry Christmas April! 🎁🎄❤️
Thank you so much!
Great video. Thank you. Love the sports blanket. Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much!
Where did you find that panel?? I love it. Anything with dogs is my weakness. 😊
sorry .. I bought so many / so long ago ... I will try to find it and come back and let you know.
@@aprilscraftroom Thank you.
Watching this again Christmas Eve love the ideas
However do agree that background music is too loud
Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them. What are the shelves holding your fabric?
they are wooden creates from Joann --- the material is wrapped around comic book board--- I did a short video on it ... check it out
I'm about to attempt the applique technique of😢my shop name onto a t-shirt
Thank you
You can also use Bandanas and make it reversible
Love that idea! Thank you so much!
👋🙂🇦🇺❤️ thank you for sharing with us!
You bet!
Hi April. I love your videos. What machine is your long arm and what frame do you have? Thank you
Grace QNique 16x is the long arm. It is in a Qzone queen frame
Sorry, hard to hear you over the music
Agree, music just a tad too loud and distracting
Open your close caption on your computer or iPad
Music just not necessary…it didn’t add anything. I find April adds enough fun on her own to her videos.
Agreed, music not necessary.
@@barbaram6303
Agreed !!! ♡
So you are the reason I could never find any pioneer woman placemats! LOL
lol
April, I noticed you have the Epic 2 Sewing Machine. I want one! Did you get a good deal? How can I get one cheap? LOL
I love it! --- I shopped the sales.
Where can you find the “state templates?”
Love your videos-but the background music is distracting from your lovely vid. Merry Christmas
thank you .. I am sorry about that .. I will be looking into it to see if it is on my end.
April, I love you content and humor, and I appreciate the effort you put in making the videos. However, I just couldn’t with the music overlaying your voice.
I am checking on this ... I am so sorry for the trouble
It’s so hard hearing you over the music. When I turn the volume up the music gets louder. We all love hearing you.
Thank you for telling me
I’ll get it fixed
Sorry for any trouble
Ive got a new janome 740dc sewing mach
That is awesome! Can't wait to see what you make with it. :-)
Music is distracring. Good ideas.
thank you for the feedback ...I appreciate it ...will go back and look at that
thank you for watching my channel
You should be from Kansas, it’s much easier to sew. 😂😂
love it!!! LOL
Yes I think the undertones of music is a bit distracting as we listen to your instructions. I just like listening to your humor n voice only.
Sorry to hear this----I will look into it... thank you for letting me know!
Loved the last minute gifts. In the future Can you avoid the “shaking” camera; bothersome to the eyes. Thanks!
Sorry about that
@@aprilscraftroom it’s all good! Merry Christmas! Looking forward to what 2024 has in store! Be blessed!
No sound 😢
Can’t hear one word.. the music over powers you 😢
I am so sorry ... I will check on my end.
Thank you for trying to watch my video
It's difficult tobhear you. The music is way too loud. .
Sorry to hear this----I will look into it... thank you for letting me know!
Sorry bad choose in music.
sorry you didn't like it ... but Thank you for the feedback ... I do appreciate it
Music too loud. I can’t understand what you are saying.
Stop with the background music ... it distracts from your instructions and frankly is just plain annoying... Otherwise I enjoy your videos and the project ideas you share.
looking into it ... thank you for letting me know
I like your ideas but not the background music. I want ti gear you and not the music.
The music is annoying. I sorry!
No worries. I don’t play background music in my newer videos. You weren’t the only one who didn’t like it. LOL
