You are very fortunate for your sister to give you all of her sewing items. My sister stopped sewing. She asked me if I would like to go through any of fabric before she gave it all to Goodwill. When I stopped I told her that I didn't have time to go through all 15 cartons and that I would take it with me and then look later. Instead of getting everything out and repacking I did a yard sale and then chose from there. I asked SEVERAL times to buy her Jannome sewing machine, her extra one, she would just ignore the questions. A few months later I found out shoe sold it on craigs list. A little upset about that. But any way Cheryl enjoy your gifts!!!! Happy quilting.....
My older sister who has been quilting for 30 years or more had accumulated upwards of 17 garbage bags of scraps. She is not a scrap quilter; she buys the fabrics she loves and/or specific to a quilt pattern she wants to make. She decided to donate all the scraps to a craft fair at her church. She invited me to attend the fair, and I bought 3 bags of the scraps for $2 each. I got home and thought... I will let the church know that if those don't sell, I will take them as well. I ended up with 15 bags of fabrics, mostly quilting cotton. After going through them, I found quite a number of orphan blocks, also some actual yardage and of course a TON of sizeable scraps of gorgeous fabrics of all colors and patterns. I spend many days over the next few months sorting them by color. I purchased several bins to hold all the fabric as I didn't like the idea of them living in plastic bags long term. Since that time, I have made a few charity quilts out of the scraps and have fabric for dozens and dozens more. Although she is often surprised to see what all she had put in those bags, she does not regret giving all that fabric away as it has relieved her of so much guilt for not using it. And I, the recipient love scrap quilting and using up all those beautiful fabrics to share with those that could use some warmth.
What a blast! When I was in college in the mid-80's, I was helping a friend sew Cabbage Patch Kids clothes for extra money. I recognize those patterns!
Fun Fun! I love looking through sewing boxes!! We get ladies stopping into our guild guild meeting every month saying that they are clearing out their stash and no longer sewing. They give us boxes of things. Going through them is like digging for treasurer. In your case it is also going down memory lane. I also love buttons. This past Wednesday I was helping a lady carry in several boxes of donated fabric and one large plastic tote of nothing but BUTTONS. I said, oh, let's stop by my car and just put these in there LOL. Those came home with me. Score!! As to decorating with the old patterns, you could hang them all around your sewing room as decoration. I have actually used the covers of old patterns as decoupage wallpaper and hung them just a few inches down from the ceiling all around the room. I helped a coworker decades ago decorate a nursery and we used old patterns like that. I always thought it would be a fabulous idea for a sewing space. They were all around the room, about 5 inches down from the ceiling, one tilted to the left then the next slightly to the right, and so on a few inches apart. I was a fantastic border around the room. Memories on display! Cannot wait for the next quilt tube!! Hugs from NE Ohio.
Our guild had a rumage sale one meeting each year. Every paticipant paid a table fee, limit the amount of tables per member, and limited items to sewing notions, fabric, sewing machines and homemade items. We generated a lot of money for the guild.
Cheryl, Buy a small shadow box and put some vintage looking fabric as the background and arrange the “vintage” patterns in a them and hang on the wall. You could also add some buttons and ric rack or other embellishments from “the era”. I think the Advance patterns are from the fifties. My mom had some and now are in my “collection”! those boxes were fun!!!
Fun unboxing! Brings back memories of my sisters and the clothes they sewed. I was thinking you could take photos of the cover of the children clothes patterns and print the photos onto fabric squares …..maybe make a quilt with all those pattern blocks. Have a beautiful day ! Thanks for sharing.
I think the rug package might be for binding to the back side after hooking a wool rug that actually would be used on the floor. I remember seeing it in a rug hooking shop with designs and all the 100% wools. I hear rug hooking is coming back. I saw some kits in Nova Scotia Canada on a trip last summer. These were beautiful works of art to hang on the wall.
So fun to look at those old patterns. I saved some of the ones from my Mom's sewing collection, and I plan to use some of the patterns for tissue paper when wrapping gifts. You could string the envelopes on a clothesline around the top of the walls of your sewing room. :)
TY, so enjoyed the older patterns also from my childhood. I’m 75 and my mom taught me to sew and I took classes in sewing in school too, using an older Singer. I too have loads of sewing everything I’ve accumulated over the years. Now I have Parkinson’s, so my hands are unsteady to sew, quilt or any hand work. Enjoy your days sewing everything you can now. Great to find your TH-cam as Anna recommend you starting the quilt group like her floss tube, and Stitch roadies. I live in Hillsboro, OR. Will enjoy following your new quilt videos.
Cheryl, did you figure out that those mysterious disc's for your sister's old singer sewing machine? I believe they are cams for creating the stitches on those old machines. My mother had a Singer with those cams & they worked so great! She loved that machine. Then she traded it in for a newer model that never worker like the old machine. Loved watching you open the boxes... so fun!!!
It looks like those round pieces are cams for the old Singer. Thank you for starting these. I love them! Edited to add that yup you found the Singer book and those are the cams. 😉. So if you are going to make the other barn into a sewing classroom that means you aren’t moving?
What fun! I’m sure enjoying these videos,they give me the encouragement and belief that I can do this.🤞 Loved seeing the old patterns. .To me they’re so sweet and they would be cute framed. Enjoyed Colleen’s quilt sewing video. Great. Thanks for sharing your talents.
What a nice gift!!! Loved seeing the prices on the patterns….my mom sewed my clothes when I was little, 55 years ago.. I loved those clothes. I remember going to JoAnn fabrics with her to pick out fabric…
Love your quilt channel makes me feel capable to continue quilting. My skills and hands are not what they were but I don't want to give up!! Thanks to you both.
Loved to watch you inbox the treasures. I had a whole sewing case of Mom's threads and other miscellaneous sewing gadgets. I did go through all the thread and pulled on it. If the thread broke, I pitched the thread. I didn't want to use it if it wouldn't hold up. I did save all the wooden spools. Looking forward to future Quiltubes!
The first quilt I ever made was one of those Joann sampler quilts. Truthfully, it was rather hideous, but it was a good learning experience. Today I usually have at least 3 quilts in the making and enough material to keep me busy, maybe forever.
Cheryl that was so much fun! Love everything to do for sewing! I wish I lived next door! I collect buttons too. Love them. I must be close to your sisters age because I had some of those items!😂 You did a great job I Think I will leave my things to you in my will!😂 They will have a great home! Have a great week.
That was fun watching you go through the boxes. I love the old patterns. I wonder if you could find inexpensive wall frames and frame those patterns to hang in your barn studio. Such a treasure. Thanks for sharing.
What fun! This was just like going through my mom’s drawers of sewing stuff. I found some treasures in there, but no patterns. I remember several of those patterns you showed. Such good memories 😊
Oh my goodness - I still have that Cabbage Patch kid pattern. Yes, the early 80's. So long ago, and we lived so far away then. I bet the cream colored round things are cams - pre-built in stitches. Had one of those for decades (Kenmore, not Singer). Had a doll pattern similar to the last one you showed (also cut out with pinking shears). Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Cheryl. (My pattern box is full of many of the same patterns you found in the last box - again, a long time ago, far, far away.)
I’m so happy you got a gift from your sis… second time to visit! I am a prolific hand quilter and enjoy that most! I’d love to join in the quilt tube community… who processes your vid for production on TH-cam! I’m excited about your plans! Glad you segued into the others and thanks ❤for
How fun going through Chris' purge. RE Vintage patterns: Lay them under a glass topped table or frame them in a shadow box with vintage tools, needles, spools of thread, etc.
Thank you and I am so glad you are doing this. I discovered Anna at least 5 years ago when I was trying to teach myself quilting. I am still trying to teach myself, and would always get psyched when someone from Flosstube would share some quilty stuff. I always hoped there would be a quilty tube and here you are..... I just recently found an incredible resource on vintage sewing machines on Facebook since i have a vintage Kenmore which a shop broke when I brought it in for tuneup. They have been amazing giving me resources on how to get it repaired and options I have along with offers of other machines I can salvage parts from. I have never wanted to be a sewing machine repair person, but it is looking like I am going to be. Any info about machines and quilting you share will be appreciated by me.....thank you again.
This was fun watching you unbox your sisters’ treasures. I enjoy seeing all those older patterns. I have my moms singer slant machine and it comes with cams like that with the fancy stitches. You have a good week!
That was a fun video. Guess what I'm going to do today. Not sew but go thru my vintage stash of stuff that I was sure I would make or use again. Looking forward to more quilting videos from you. Happily quilting and cross stitching in Montana. Kay
I might have an answer for the funny looking things you were curious about. I have a Kenmore from the 70’s and have something similar. They look like cams to place in the Machine to do the fancy stitches.
Yup! I'm pretty sure those round white discs are cams used on straight stitch Singer machines. I have a 1951 Singer and it has came to make utility stiches. 😊 This was a fun video. I've been watching your Flosstube and so happy you have started a QuiltTube now! Love it! ❤😂
Oh that was so much fun! Thank you so much for sharing the unboxing with us. I bet you can use a lot of that stuff for when you start you quilt classes.
I agree with others, the cream plastic parts with the stitch patterns on them are cams for a sewing machine. I remember sewing on my grandmothers old Elna that had cams.
So many memories in a box and you can create more, if you choose to make any. Maybe your husband could make you a unit like a magazine rack to show off the patterns. Such fun, Cheryl!
Wish I lived closer for your classes. I love going through sewing stuff. I buy boxes of sewing stuff at yard sales and auctions. I need to take some time and learn how to use my embroidery machine.
Carol Breyer Fallert-Gentry is a legend in the quilting world. She’s an artist, not a traditional/homey type of quilter. Look her up in TH-cam, she’s really amazing.
Those round plastic things are cams. There must be a slot or place to put them in and the machine then sewed that stitch. the stitches were not programmed into the sewing machine.
Love this so fun. I would love to learn to quilt tie. Maybe a tutorial. My mil was going to show me, ne but we never got a chance before she passed❤ I love sewing and quilting. I would love to sew garments. But, need tutorials just the way my brain learns. Thank you. ❤
I used Hobbs 80/20 and on the snuggly ones I used cuddle for backing. Can’t wait to watch your progress. You will love it. Each of those chicks have their own little personalities ❤️

Oh cheryl…you brought back soooooo many memories. So wish I had saved patterns, sewed all my clothes grade 7 on. Love the video. Have a great week.

I had a Necchi sewing machine that had cams like that in the 80's. Thanks for sharing

This was fun! Just found your channel. We have 3 sisters in our family too so I had to subscribe.
Thanks for sharing some good memories.
Oh that was so much fun! Thank you so much for sharing the unboxing with us. I bet you can use a lot of that stuff for when you start you quilt classes.
Absolutely!!
So happy for your quilt tube channel !
Thank you for sharing your quilt channel. It’s just what we needed out here for us quilters . Well done ladies 😊♥️🇨🇦
It’s the first time I see your channel. What a fun video! It’s always nice to go down memory lane;)
I agree with others, the cream plastic parts with the stitch patterns on them are cams for a sewing machine. I remember sewing on my grandmothers old Elna that had cams.
Such fun going down sewing memory lane
I would love it if people got on board & showed their quilt finishes, WIPS, quilt plans!
So many memories in a box and you can create more, if you choose to make any. Maybe your husband could make you a unit like a magazine rack to show off the patterns. Such fun, Cheryl!
That would be cool!
I had a machine that used cams like that for the different stitches. I’ve made that Raggedy Ann pattern.
Thank you. Those are treasures 😊😊😊
What a fun video.
I enjoyed watching you inbox all of those treasures.
Have fun with them!
Marilyn
Wow 😯 lots of great goodie’s. A lot of happy mail what a wonderful gift. 🎁 have a wonderful weekend 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Wish I lived closer for your classes. I love going through sewing stuff. I buy boxes of sewing stuff at yard sales and auctions. I need to take some time and learn how to use my embroidery machine.
If you lift the head of the Singer you will find the cam section. I use to have one of these. Best machine ever!
Omg I’m so excited!
Carol Breyer Fallert-Gentry is a legend in the quilting world. She’s an artist, not a traditional/homey type of quilter. Look her up in TH-cam, she’s really amazing.
Hi enjoyed that I think the old patterns I would frame them from Indiana
Enjoying your videos
Cams for the machine
I really enjoy the Bernina 880, it’s a keeper!
Those are the cams that change the stitches on that machine
I had an old Singer that had those on it.
I made my daughter a similar pattern to the twirly dress :)
I remember Cheryl’s twirly dresses ❤️
I just found your channel and I am already a fan. Are you going to be at Quilt Con this month?
Cam's. Early programming! They are auto stitched.
Those round plastic things are cams. There must be a slot or place to put them in and the machine then sewed that stitch. the stitches were not programmed into the sewing machine.
The quilt at the beginning of this video is amazing. Is there a pattern. Thanks
Many fun treasures. I just found you .Yea
Keep your rugs from sliding😊😊
I was so disappointed when Joann’s stopped the blocks of the month. They were great to teach beginners with!
Those are cams that make various stitches
Love this so fun. I would love to learn to quilt tie. Maybe a tutorial. My mil was going to show me, ne but we never got a chance before she passed❤ I love sewing and quilting. I would love to sew garments. But, need tutorials just the way my brain learns. Thank you. ❤
My brain thinks that way too! Okay I’ll do a tutorial on quilt yarn ties when I do it Great idea!
@@RustRibbonsQuilts yay! Thank you 🥰
What a fun items to be inheriting from your sister. Are you sharing with Colleen?
No no no….hopefully she will be able to use them for her quilt class instruction room she’s building ❤️ I sure don’t need anymore sewing stash ❤️😳😳😳
Cams for the Singer
I’m going to be making your chicken quilt. I want it to be snuggly and comfortable. What kind of filling do I need to use.
Thank you for your help 🥰
I used Hobbs 80/20 and on the snuggly ones I used cuddle for backing. Can’t wait to watch your progress. You will love it. Each of those chicks have their own little personalities ❤️
Looks like cams mom had a Viking with cams
What is the name of the first quilt in your intro.
If you mean the cover shot, it’s just an “ai” image of a civil war reproduction quilt. If you mean the first photo after that, it’s The Raven by Blackbird Designs
hello
