I thought that bread pan was super cute too. The different 'slices' would help to sort out numbered and lettered pins for marking blocks and rows for large quilts. Really cute.
Thanks, I really enjoyed seeing the different ways friends store their fabrics. I'm using old bookshelves--1 for charm packs and jelly rolls, 1 for layer cakes, and 1 for fat quarters and fat eighths. I try to buy accompanying fabric for border and binding, and I keep that with the precut so I can find it. I store my solids and my widebacks in an old tall pantry on wire shelves inside, and I have smaller miscellaneous fabrics on comic boards on a shelf. I need more sewing time as you often say, Pat. My 9-1/2 year old granddaughter was visiting last week. I showed her a picture where you had all the critters up on the wall. She loved it! I might need to do some critter pattern shopping. 😅 Your critter quilt is coming together so darling indeed!
The pictures of everyones storage area is so neat. i never thought of the CD holders, that is a great Idea. . The rolling carts are very handy. I saw these at Aldi's the other day for $14.99 and also I have waited until Michaels has a 40 or 50 % coupon, coupon and Ithat is how I purchased my rolling carts, you just need to check the restrictions on the coupons. Thanks again Pat for all the work that you and your ambassadors do. Have a Great Weekend everyone!
I love that you are sharing your process of deciding which colors and designs to use between the critters. Also love the lighthouse fabric between the shark and Nessie😊
After much trial I have settled on Fautless PREMIUM Luxe Finish with the Gold cap Spray Starch. It gives a soft feel without flaking, staining, or a cardboard feel. Really enjoyed seeing how others store their fabric stash addiction. Great Ideas!
I have used both sprays of starch before. When you use the heavy finish, it is almost like working with paper when you sew. I think it is helpful for small piecing.
I live with an open-air house where bugs are always a concern. I also stopped experimenting with starch because I heard someone say that starch can attract bugs. Have you experience this?
@@juliemiller9258 Someone once told me that the starch was potatoes. (It is not though.). I suppose you could make starch to spray using potato starch. We live on a farm with a lot of bugs that like grain. They don't come in and eat my quilts, but I also like to wash them so they get a little crinkly. They do get more crinkly if you do not use the starch though.
@@KTCanSew2 Yeah. All my spices and tea, coffee, coco powder all have to be in the fridge or freezer. Took me over a year to figure out the tiny bugs in my dry tea was making me sick. I washed the quilt I was trying the starch on as soon as it was quilted. Scared me. We grow most of our own food and raise ducks mostly for the eggs but also for the pest control and as a bonus they fertilize for us. 🧵🌴🦆🪡
Love how the critters are coming together. It would have been so adorable to have placed the X and O block between Nessie & the shark as they are facing each other.
I use the concentrated starch from the grocery store. **I control how much I dilute it. **it lasts a really long time because it’s so concentrated. **I don’t throw out aerosol cans.
Can you imagine an auction hall filled with quilters bidding on Ocean Critter Quilt??? Million Dollar Job!!! Pat, thanks for sharing the construction with your quilt family. We learn so much from you. Love, love the Ocean Critter Quilt! Blessings, Dawn
I use the Heavy finish starch when I am sewing very small pieces. Makes a world of difference when you are looking for perfection. Helps with the cutting as well.
As someone new to your channel, I am loving and learning so much watching you audition fabrics. Thanks for working through that process with us. The critter quilt is so cute.
The hug and kiss block beside Nessie so cute! The x is done in the colours of Scotland's flag! 🏴 ❤ Of course the shark is cute too lol . The lighthouse fabric charming.
The storage ideas were really nice to see. I live in an open-air house where bugs and geckos are a constant inconvenience. I use transparent plastic covered boxes, shoe box sized and up. This is good but other ideas would also be appreciated. 🧵🧵🌴🌴🪡🪡🦎🦎
Thank you for so many ideas. I kept interrupting your video and going to your links. Ordered the shark. I want a pillow so badly. Checked out toilet paper holder for jelly rolls. I have one I use in the bathroom. when I need it to hold 2 1/2 batting for jelly roll rugs, I put it to use. So much fun. Checked out your line of fabrics with pillowcases. So sweet.
I use a similar bookshelf set up for my ironing station. I bought two of the 9 cube storage shelf’s. My large ironing surface sits on top of them. I use the fabric bins for my scrap user system. The shelf’s could easily be used for precut storage as well.
Hi Pat! Loved the storage ideas for the precuts! I actually have one of those metal bread molds!! We love to go junking & I gravitate to just whatever. I don't have room in the craft/sewing room to hang it, but that's a great idea!!! I think the letters to the left are "SEW".
Your flower blocks are so pretty! Great visit today. Enjoyed seeing how others store their specialty cuts. Mine are in storage bins sitting everywhere 😮 Pat Sloan, catch you next time online! Have a great weekend. We have had enough rain for a few days😊
I liked seeing everyone's storage ideas. The other day I saw a storage unit that had tall shelving with casters on each shelf stack to allow one to pull the shelf unit out. Realizing this is a poor description, I hope someone can make sense of it. The original picture was on Facebook. So, just keep those pictures coming.
THANK YOU! I love the playlists, i was wondering how i was going to find a certain quilt to work along with. Because I am defiantly slower than you LOL
Love seeing the critters come together. Pressed Flowers blocks look beautiful in your Sleepover Fabric. And, now I have storage envy - wow, I’d love to be so neat.
Thank you for the precut storage tips. Really like the jelly roll tower. Too cute. As far as your starch question- personally I don’t care for the heavy starch because it leaves a filmy residue that clouds the fabric and leaves flakes. I notice it mostly when I have to press for longer times. Would like to know your experience with it.
I inherited my great grandma's quilted top apron. I don't know how to describe it right. it has a quilt pattern on the front top about 1/4 of the way down. and the apron you just put your arms in and it's on. no tieing.
@pat Sloan I’ve used both spray starches I prefer regular formula also Home Depot sells it and it’s a bit cheaper than grocery store. In a pinch I’ve also used the spray starches from dollar tree which was also ok
I use use the heavy finish Faultless starch. I really like it. I starch before I cut. Sewing with stiffer fabric has helped me be more accurate in piecing.
Pat on the sashing between the shark and Nessy, I think you need the dark around the shark. When you put the light color up my first thought was “ OMG the shark is going to eat Nessy!” Just my opinion.😘
Nessie looks great swimming in her craggy loch! I'm glad that you changed out the dark in front of Nessie as she looked like she was bumping her nose. ;) Now she is booping lighthouses. Teehee! I love you, too! Donna
Pat, just a thought. Would it be easier to turn you camera 90 degrees, when you want to show your whole design wall.. just a thought. And Pat.. Thanks for all you do! love you and your stuff!!!!
Great video as usual! Pat Sloan, I just love the style and colors of tops you wear. Could you please share where you get them? Thanks and have a great weekend!!!
I also bought the Heavy Finish starch. When I saw it in the store, I remembered ironing my dad's Navy uniforms. I'm going to try it on my next quilt. Does starching the fabric work as well if you iron it instead of letting it air dry?
just a request... it would be really nice if you dated your header screen or the intro on the video... also, can someone tell me what sites I can sell fabric items? I am on like 100 quilt sites and cannot figure out where to "sell some things"... thanks everyone!!
Almost hitting that coveted 100k milestone! Thrilled for you 🎉
WOW, love that gaming table with the bookshelves on the back. That is perfect! The loaf bread pan, genius!
I thought that bread pan was super cute too. The different 'slices' would help to sort out numbered and lettered pins for marking blocks and rows for large quilts. Really cute.

Hmmmm....After looking at all the fabric photos, I don't have nearly enough fabric! I should go shopping!
The pictures of everyones storage area is so neat. i never thought of the CD holders, that is a great Idea.

I've tried both starches and Best Press. I prefer Best Press and buy it by the gallon!
I love that you are sharing your process of deciding which colors and designs to use between the critters. Also love the lighthouse fabric between the shark and Nessie😊
Thank you for sharing all the quilting storage ideas. Love the inspiration and creativity of the quilty friends!
Putting that critter quilt together is quite a challenge...KUDOS🎉

Lighthouses get my vote the half square triangle above Nessie looks like boat sails
I love to see how others store fabric. Always gives me a new idea
I'm a bit behind, but you're getting so close to the 100k! Love how the critters are coming along.
Nana, a walk in closet for your fabric. You are soooo lucky. I’m jealous.
Heavy starch is my favorite!💖
That's sooo fun watching you play with adding the pieces to the critter quilt. I love the hugs and kisses blocks.
That shark pillow is so cute
I love the heavy finish, I apply it to the back and let it soak in, helps to reduce the sometimes flacking that can occur

Really enjoying watching you put that critter quilt together and seeing your process! It's turning out beautiful and so cute ❤
Love seeing everyone's storage. Thank you Pat!

I love the shark pillow! I may make that for my nephew for Christmas!
The hug and kiss block beside Nessie so cute! The x is done in the colours of Scotland's flag! 🏴 ❤ Of course the shark is cute too lol . The lighthouse fabric charming.
I have been buying the pressed flowers pattern and love them. Very easy and pretty. I can hardly wait until it is done. Blessings. ❤
I think your critters quilt is coming along so beautifully, and I love your fruit cake

I use the heavy finish spray starch for small pieces.....as always love having coffee with you ❤
I like the heavy finish myself. It really helps in not raveling and stretching
Thanks in sharing storage...so many wonderful clever ideas.. toilet holder/ CD holders who would thunk ! Ideas do help
Love seeing all the different storage idea. Your fruit cake blocks are awesome as well, as the critters quilt. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
So many clever & attractive ideas! I love them all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I use the spray sizing more then the starch.

Chenille is what that green pillow was made from. I'm amazed at what autocorrect did to that word.😅

Happy Saturday, Pat. The critters layout is coming along cute. I like the added fabric borders.

Love seeing the critters come together. Pressed Flowers blocks look beautiful in your Sleepover Fabric. And, now I have storage envy - wow, I’d love to be so neat.
You are so stinkin’ cute with the shark!😊
Love seeing all the different storage spaces. If I had space, I be copying some of them!
So many clever ideas 💡
Wet and windy in west wales

LOL the HSTs atop the Nessie block kind of look like they are part of her 😂
I use the heavy finish. My blocks come out great

Hi Pat (from Texas)
Love your shirt!!!
I use the heavy finish starch - I’ve not tried the other one.
Hello from wales uk

Thank you fun video, have a great weekend 🎉🎉
Hey Pat great video as always, just wanted to say you X block next to Nessie is like the Scottish Saltire 🏴 so very appropriate 😁
Nessie looks great swimming in her craggy loch! I'm glad that you changed out the dark in front of Nessie as she looked like she was bumping her nose. ;) Now she is booping lighthouses. Teehee! I love you, too!

Pat, just a thought. Would it be easier to turn you camera 90 degrees, when you want to show your whole design wall.. just a thought. And Pat.. Thanks for all you do! love you and your stuff!!!!
Great video as usual! Pat Sloan, I just love the style and colors of tops you wear. Could you please share where you get them? Thanks and have a great weekend!!!

Good morning Pat from Sandi at hot Kansas🦋💜

I also bought the Heavy Finish starch. When I saw it in the store, I remembered ironing my dad's Navy uniforms. I'm going to try it on my next quilt. Does starching the fabric work as well if you iron it instead of letting it air dry?
you will have more flaking with you try to press it dry rather than just let it air dry. Try both ways to see what you think
These quilts are all ❤wonderful. What program did you use to layout the critter quilt? Thank you
it is an old professional level software that is no longer made
hi pat what is the fabric you are using in pressed flower
my fabric called sleep over. Get at shrsl.com/42r69
Does starching the fabric help reduce the fraying?
i think it does
just a request... it would be really nice if you dated your header screen or the intro on the video... also, can someone tell me what sites I can sell fabric items? I am on like 100 quilt sites and cannot figure out where to "sell some things"... thanks everyone!!
I suggest you use etsy, ebay and facebook market place. Most groups have a NO SELLING policy
Are the prescription boxes sent to uk?
Yes they do.
yes!
Does anyone have a pattern for horned lizard otherwise known as horny toad??
go ask in my community at facebook.com/groups/QuiltWithPatSloan
