Your enthusiasm is CONTAGIOUS! I have been a garment sewer for many years, but I think it's time I give quilting a try,. Have watched many of your videos and enjoy your teaching techniques. You make learning EASY! THANK YOU!
Thank you for all your wonderful hints,and your fun way to present them to us out here in the world of quilting, you are cute and sweet, looking forward to the next video,
I have recently gotten back into sewing/quilting after about 17 years and am so overwhelmed by all that has changed. I have started taking classes to start to learn some techniques but am somewhat discourage because so many of these classes are held during the day and I have a full time job. Your tutorials have been a great help to me, I know have the courage to tackle more challenging projects. I would love to continue to watch your tutorials, great job, keep them coming!
Hi Vanessa. Thanks for showing me the fold and sew method. I'll use this technique on my next quilt top. I especially appreciate tips you offer--like making off set piecing and using rectangles or squares in the sandwich. Your idea of a confetti quilt is awesome. May I send you a photo when I finish my confetti quilt? I am excited about getting started. Fun. Fun. Fun. I'm looking forward to being a part of your quilting community. Your fun tutorials are easy to understand, and make successful projects even for beginners.
I am new to your video tutorials, but have been doing bits of sewing for 20+ years. Never enough to be a pro, but I can definitely work my way around my sewing machine. I get very overwhelmed when I see a project I want to do, but think "oh gosh, that looks like a lot of work and hard/confusing!" Just watching your short tip tutorials makes me feel so much more at ease because I'm a very visual person and it's so nice to watch and learn! So I love, love, love your tip tutorials! I'm excited to find out more about the online quilting community and continuing to learn more throughout it! Great job!
Im learning how to sewing and Im in love with you videos,you are a great teacher.Thank you so much to share you technic. Wish you all the best and lots of success
Love to learn new things about quilting. I love your videos and look forward to them. Thanks for doing them!!! Also, I have the same little iron and love it!!!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this new technique which is a GO DO. your blog is very informative and refreshing for getting things done with your easy techniques.
That’s amazing what an awesome idea 👍🏼 Thank you for sharing this with us 🌻 what I love about your channel is because you make it very easy for us to fellow and make gorgeous quilts 🌻
That technique is brilliant! I am so looking forward to taking part in the new online community. Mostly, I look forward to doing some swaps and the mystery quilt sounds fun, too!
I have learned a lot from you, too! Love the quilting sew alongs you have posted; you described and taught each block, fun stuff. I've learned your 2-ruler technique when measuring and cutting material, how to measure binding, the list goes on and on. Thank you so much! I'm thrilled about your new program.
Vanessa I love love love you! I wish you lived next to me lol, i cant wait for the online community to begin, i watched this video and cant wait to try this new piecing technique. Your so amazing and a great teacher, you just really get it and know how to teach in a way that helps me get it! As i was watching i was going to email you asking if you would please please please do a mystery quilt and you had it in your video that its already a part of your plan! I cant wait for all the new exciting things you have planed for us.
Great video ! Thank you for joining my channel. I love your channel. I've never seen that clever technic before but I will surely be using it some of my sewing projects.
Hi Vanessa...I love, love how clearly you speak and how simple you make things look. I am 70 years young, I started quilting off and on about 3 years ago, I do machine piece, but I hand quilt..I am hoping you will have tutorials on hand quilting and paper piecing or foundation piecing..I would love to learn that. I have made my 6 grandchildren and great granddaughter quilts. I am now making my daughters quilts. I need to also learn to miter corners better on my binding. Where is the information on your community quilting classes, prices, etc? I cannot find them. Did you make your little ironing board? Keep up the wonderful work. You are one of the best! Hugs, Deanna in Oklahoma
Hi Vanessa! I am super excited to be a part of this Quilter's Guild. I can't say which part I am most excited about, but if I have to choose I guess it would be the mystery quilt. I've heard of them but never taken part. I am curious about how it works. Thanks for creating this community for all us who love all things quilts! :)
Great video! Is this new community going to be free to access? You are getting me excited with all this talk of it! This technique looks great for people like me who struggle with cutting. I can see it being awesome for making quiet/busy books for kids. Could use vinyl for the center and tuck in a picture or glitter or something before sewing the last fold! Thanks for this!!
I love all of your videos. They are so much fun to try new things. I can not wait for this new community group. I am excited to join. This was such a great idea on how to do easy piecing. Would love to see you have some challenges and swamps in your new community. Thanks so much for all that you do for all of us...
Just signed up for the Quilting Community - I do believe this is going to be a winner for me. I hope we will try to meet on the same day every month, just because I need a little structure...I don't do fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants very well! 😉. Looking forward to beginning in January!
I am looking forward to all you are going to do in the upcoming months. Even when I move out of state you will always be on my computer. Merry Christmas to your beautiful family.
I am so looking forward to finding out the details of the online community for quilters because I am isolated from quilt shops and didn't find my guild very friendly. I understand old friendships can sometimes = cliques but for newbies it's uncomfortable. I just hope your online community won't be too expensive because during the live chat the other night someone mentioned $99/month but maybe that was something to do with Ustream and not what you are planning. Fingers crossed.
Hey Vanessa... Are you gonna do any t shirt type or memory quilts? I've never quilted before but I would be interested in seeing and doing that process!! I think that this is a great idea for the ladies that quilt out there.
Hi Vanessa, You're a very talented young lady! I really enjoy your tutorials..and now this? WOW! Just thinking this kind of quilting style would be great for a baby quilt for him or her to learn shapes such as squares, triangles, rectangles..etc...and also numbers and alphabet letters. Gonna try it and see what happens. When are you on again..what date and time? Love ya, Ella in North Wilkesboro, NC. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Vanessa, I am so happy to hear about your on line community. I hope you find a different platform to do videos. I was not able to view the video the other night. I was registered, I saw all the chats but no video. I have attempted to contact their customer support and read all their tutorials but the response I get from them is to check all my areas of my system which I have done. I went back to the site and can not see any other videos but I can see your video here. If you are going to continue to use the platform the first video was on I will not be able to see anything unless I can obtain some help from their customer service. I enjoyed this video but hope to continue with the online community.
will you be still doing sewing videos, because I love you sewing videos I have never quilt before would like to learn but love the sewing video because I'm new to sewing
Hi Vanessa I'm in Australia and have been subscribed to Crafty Gemini for a long time. I appreciate all the work you do to help us all. Will I be able to fully join your Crafty Gemini Quilt Club due to our time difference (GMT +8) Have a wonderful Holiday Season, Cherine
Absolutely, I am planning to coordinate at least one of the live sessions a month to be a different time in hopes that our overseas friends can catch it live. But the rest of the sessions will also be recorded so you can watch at a later time if you can't catch it live.
Hi Vanessa, I have never quilted before. I'm wanting to learn and just don't know where to begin or what to buy. I don't want to purchase items that are not necessary. I hope you can help get me on the right track. I am seriously thinking about signing up for your classes.
What brand is your little iron? I have been looking for a small iron to take along but most of them don't seem to get hot enough, yours looks like it gets nice and hot.
Hi Vanesa, I just sign in for the Crafty Gemini Quilt Club. In the confirmation page it says "but remember that it doesn't officially lunch until January 2015" and i think you meant 2016. Right?
+Beatriz Moser January 2015 is correct. The club launched this year and we have been very busy! If you just joined you will have access to everything we've done and posted this entire year. You should have been emailed your login information already. If you don't see it be sure you are checking the PayPal email address you used to pay for your membership and also check your spam/junk folder. It can end up there sometimes. Welcome to the Club we have almost 900 members!
I have SLE Lupus which makes each day a challenge. I am unable to register for a local quilt guild as I am unable to commit to how I will feel on any given day. I look forward to being able to join your online community. Fabric, fun & friends! Fabulous!
I'm glad you'll be able to connect with other quilters even if you can't do so physically. That is so powerful! Thanks for watching and expressing your interest. :)
This makes sense! Thank you so very much for putting this in terms I can understand. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you! Hope you and your family have a safe and Happy Christmas. :)
Hi! Had a lot of fun watching on the trial web community. I wasn't able to type any response because I didn't want to go thru Facebook. Is there any other way to be able to respond? Thanks :)
Hi Vanessa, I tried to join the club yesterday, but received a message that the pafd was not available. I though it was because the big volume of subscription. I have been a loyal follower of your proyects, and would like to be part of this one too. How can we solve this?
Hi I just saw your video about the Quilting Community, I'm sad I missed the early sign up. Since I'm late do you have a discount if I paid for the whole year?
Hi Karen. Sorry you missed the pre-sale. We have almost 550 members already and we're growing! There is a discount if you sign up for the whole year. You can see the two options on this page: bit.ly/CGQuiltClubPreSale. Thanks!
