It was a nine-patch sort of day at my house. I'm sharing how I made mine and chatting away. Grab a project and let's sew together!
Find me every day at my blog www.joscountryjunction.com. I share much from quilting to cross stitch to books to recipes to family life. I've started the new Sew With Jo series and have been having so much fun with it.
If you have questions, please ask in the comment section. I promise to get back to you.
Jo, I love watching you. You are soooo real. You make me feel good about my sewing and quilting abilities or lack thereof.
Quilting is like most anything, the more you do, the more "in a groove" you get. Soon you'll find what works for you.
@@JosCountryJunction Thanks for the advice!
I was knitting while you were chatting and sewing. Loved seeing you finish all those blocks. And before I forget, at 21minutes you counted 12 then 18, so I'm guessing you are 3 short.
That could be. I'll find out soon.
@@JosCountryJunction I could concur.
"There are some stinky parts to quilting"! Haha, I love that and hope you don't mind me quoting you. I will give you all the credit! Thanks for keeping it real in your Sew With Jo videos.
Please do!
Quilting originated from a need to provide warm coverings for family and these women had to use what they had on hand. So, I agree with you, JO, we should all do what works for us and give grace to our fellow hobbyists to follow their own quilting muse.
Thanks your comment!! I agree!!
i get up early in the mornings but i walk my three miles a day seven days a week. then i sew in between life and commitments .
Good for you!!
Jo, I continue to enjoy these videos and your blog. Even though I’ve been quilting for many years, I usually learn something new from you. I admire you for the way you love your family and always put them first in your life. It’s fun to quilt with you and listen to your chat about your life. Thanks for taking the time to film these.
You are so welcome!
Love your sew and chat. You are so sincere. I love how you actually sew and talk at the same time. There is another youtuber who does that, Tiffany. This lady makes whole quilts in an episode. Your channel is soooo interesting. Thank you.
THANKS!!
This has been so fun😌😀I got a lot of knitting done.
Thanks for joining me Becky!
I saw your counting tip on your blog a couple of years ago and I love it. Helps me from making a ton of extra pieces.
I'm so glad!
Another great video! Thanks for making these, almost like getting to be there with you :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved your video! I really liked the part where you encourage folks to do their own thing to make quilting enjoyable for them. Newbies to quilting may not realize that yet so hearing it from a seasoned quilter helps I think. I don't get any magazine subscriptions anymore but I do think I'm going to get one to American Patchwork & Quilting after hearing how many of your quilts will be in the magazine. See you in the next video 👋
Thank you so much!
Hi, I miss seeing your face so I have been watching your old videos! Read your blog yesterday about your Bo, peace, love and positive! So happy happy happy for you.
Can you tell about the large grey cone of thread, is it 50 weight and what company do you get it from. Plus do you only use it for piecing.
I just found you recently! If you kept your house immaculate, you’d never get to sew!
Can you tell me the name of this quilt pattern. I would to purchase it
I have been following your blog, did not realize you did videos as well! I too, love none patches and four patches! Somehow, they make me feel all is right with the world, or at least, will be!! LOL! Great video!
Thanks so much!!
I finally was able to finish watching this. Our computer is in our living room and my husband isn't able to watch tv if I have sewing noise on the computer. (he's very hard of hearing, even with his hearing aids. Voices, etc are fine, but sewing machines overpower apparently). It took me 3 different times to be able to finish! I like your format. I have watched other live ones and all the comments I find distracting. I like just sitting back and watching, or doing some handwork at the desk while I'm watching/listening. I would never presume to tell you how to do this wonderful job for us-I'm just grateful for whatever I get! My daughter tells her kids:
You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!!
Glad you were able to watch!! Thanks
My grandmother came from Finland, she said all levels of a house need a door, they usually have 3 floors, a very steep roof, no decks either, just for when the lower floors are snowed in. So they can still get in and out of the house in winter. It must be dangerous in the melting season, because 1/2 of the whole country is lakes already.
Hey, you could tack or pin a piece of batting around a curtain rod, then push the rod up across the top of your open cupboard doors... then put the batting into the quilt you are doing and store the curtain rod away for next time. Karen Brown tapes up a flannel backed plastic table cloth in the stairwell of her apartment building. I have also seen big cardboard sheets with 2 folds, like a room divider screen covered in a flannel sheet or something. Which folds flat and goes away when not needed. You can make any sized design boards yourself, from cardboard (thick or a few layers going different ways for strength) or foam board, covered with a sleeve, or batt one side and hot-glue? a binding on. Brenda from conquering mt. Scrapmore has a few in pretty colours.
When my sister gets free time, for crafting, she bakes a lasagne to leave in the fridge, then goes for a piece when she needs food. She has a light vegetable lasagne recipe, so she doesn't mind it cold or nuked, for a couple of days, it freezes so she can keep it longer, when hubby comes back, and she needs to cook for him. all the best.
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thanks again Jo for the chit chat and learning about your cutting/sewing system. l am very interested to see you working on a Grand Quilter .l have acquired one.but have also been told they can be problematic so have avoided using it.l would be glad for any tips you can give,many thanks
I piece on a Grand Quilter or Hobby 1200 it's known as both. I did use it as a longarm (midarm really) I hated it for that. I had all sorts of problems with it then.
I am a lot like you, I get intimidated learning new things! My husband bought me EQ8 two years ago for Christmas and I have yet to dive into it. Can you loan me your daughter for a couple days? lol Another great video. Thanks for the motivation.
You can do it!
I always enjoy your video! ❤
I agree with you not everything needs to be perfect. Also tips to reduce sewing is always best. Keep teaching tips because i was very upset after sewing 50 1 inch squares together and then saw a tip to make the strips sets. Now I read and research each pattern.
Great videos and ideas.
THANKS so much!!
I watched this and I love red too so I looked it up in my america patchworks magazine and I love it but going to make it smaller. Keep up all your good work your quite a lady
Awe...thanks.
I love your priorities! Lol
Great video Jo! I am like you, leave it and iron later. I work assembly-line style which saves me a lot of time.
Right on!
It is really interesting to see how you organized the segments of the quilt you are working on.
I'm a gal that likes the projects to be somewhat organized.
You are amazing! Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸
You are so welcome!
I love watching you videos especially the shirts and scraps 😊
Glad you like them!
Jo, I started a quilt last summer that uses the 9 patch but in blue and browns. It's going to be set square so it was fun watching you do what I did. My blocks are ready to be set into the top.
It's fun we're both working on nine-patches.
@@JosCountryJunction what's a little strange to me is we are using the same size strips to make the bars for the patch blocks
I really enjoyed this video Jo. I'm glad you said that you may not do certain things like others do and that's ok. I feel like if it has to be perfect, then I can't do it! I just try to do what works for me too.
So true!
The infamous quilting police just don't exist for me, so I ignore what doesn't work for me, and do what does.
How do you keep your strips so straight when you sew all three together?
Lots of practice!!
What kind and weight of thread do you use?
I have a lot of blog readers that send me thread that isn't working with their longarm. I use it up. I have no idea what kind of thread it is...it's typically on a cone.
Your sewing room looks massive but I get it with wanting to change up the scenery with ironing in the kitchen.
Everything in the kitchen is the perfect height. Also I can start supper...just keeping it real!
@@JosCountryJunction multi tasking is a must do!
Jo - loved the video. Enjoyed sewing with you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Jo! I need to start cutting multiple layers. It really does speed up the process. Thanks for the reminder. I, too, am trying to finish up some UFOs. I'm looking forward to seeing your new quilt. Happy Sewing!!!
You are so welcome!
I love your videos. I look forward to them and hope you continue for a long time. I think they're great recorded as you do, no need for live.
Thank you so much!
I make my 9 patch like you do. Great tutorial. Have a great week.
Thanks, you too!
Do you ever set your seams
No, I don't set my seams. I don't want them set. I want them to have give. I know it's popular for a lot of people to set them though. Try it both ways and do what you like best. There is no "one right way" to quilting.
