my article today blog.patsloan.com/2022/12/january-kickoff-including-a-word-of-the-year-.html
Very nice quilts that are on the wall
I love your purple jacket and striped shirt. Looks great on you!
I was thinking this as well as I love love purple
Purple, purple, everything purple! Love it too!
Today I bound a quilt and quilted another and have the binding ready.
🎵🎶🎹. Pat, just wants to have fun!
Now that song is in my head 😂 "oh, girls just wanna have fun" yes, we do
Purple is your color. Loved your outfit. I really enjoy your videos. I quilt as I want and you do you. Everyone is different. I love all the advice from you and others on your channel.
Just last year I did a COMPLETE remodel of what I call my “Stash Closet” by removing 13 years of collecting as I was working at my local FQS and never brought home a paycheck but fabric instead. I built a center island with those 9-cube shelves and put a 1” thick board on top which increased my storage by 36-bins. I then organized my fabrics by color/cut goods/Halloween/Christmas/panels/Batiks/large cuts/novelty prints/big florals and even a section of never cut like my Laural Burch fabrics that are now considered collectors items. I am very blessed to have the setup I have and even more blessed to have a husband that understands my sickness/obsession when it comes to my QUILTING! I do however have issues with scraps which I will address throughout this month because the good Lord knows, it didn’t get like it is in a month so I’m not going to stress myself out and try to deal with it in one day. THANK YOU PAT for being my motivator 🎉 Any YAY…. We are at 90.1 TH-cam SUBSCRIBERS! ✨💥⭐️🌟
"Go play with your fabric" - this comment made me laugh. Thanks Pat for keeping the organization simple and the comments about wanting to buy new fabric and getting rid of fabric you did not use - wow, that is wonderful to hear! So many quilters say build your stash and save that corner to make a triangle. . who has that space! Whoo Hoo, such encouragement.
Thanks for the daily inspiration Pat. I admire how quickly you get quilts done. It takes me forever to do a quilt. But I plug alone. My word this year is Purge. I have too much stuff and I need to be brutal and purge stuff out of my life.
Fun is a Great word! I think we beat ourselves up too much sometimes and lose our Fun😊
Scraps are my goal! Getting them organized....
That and the random stacks that aren't put away
My most favorite quilt right now is the purple & white checkerboard that I made for my queen size bed. With purple Minky on the back. It’s heavy and comfy and beautiful. I’m so glad I found your channel. I’d love to make a pink and aqua one eventually. 💜💜
Really cute display of the needled minders.
I love love my home IS quilt. It’s a supplement on my bed. Peach minky on the back. Wonderful! I can’t wait to start childhood memories today!🎉 Thanks for all you inspired us to do!
Thank you for a fantastic video! Organizing may not always be fun, but the end result is great! I really like your view of old fabric. It’s so much more fun to buy new.
Love the blue quilt, love your purple outfit, love all the tips…..this was fun!
I love your word FUN!! Thank you for all this helpful information about organizing fabric!!
Very much enjoyed your interview with Donna last night.
I love the red glasses and purple outfit.
I had "fun" today repurposing quilt scraps while mostly emptying a big basket of saved scraps -- Scraps of batting and backing which were trimmed from the sides of finished quilts to square and prepare for binding. The scraps varied from a few inches wide to 8" wide by the length of the quilt. Narrower scraps I flat-locked together to make wider strips. Then I cut each strip about 16-20 inches long, serged the two short ends to clean finish. Where needed I basted the batting and fabric down the middle to anchor them together, then folded in half to be 8-10 inches long and serged the two long sides together. I also cut up and used some quilt sandwiches I'd saved from practicing free motion quilting into strips then serged as above (sorry doggies). Made great, cushioned "U"-shaped pouchs to put my fragile nativity pieces in. One pouch per piece. It's a two-fer: Organized and repurposed a basket of scraps and put a bunch of Christmas decorations away! Thanks, Pat for helping me clean out scraps I've had for years!
It's helped me enormously when I heard in a video, You can't organize clutter (I think Marie Kondo?) We downsized last summer to a much smaller senior complex apartment. No more almost limitless storage for fabrics, tools, and craft items. Also, letting go of my "fantasy self," being brutally honest with myself about what I was likely to actually get done in my lifetime (I'm. 80) , made it possible to get my supplies down to a manageable level that fits in one large closet and a couple of small drawer units under my 2 work tables. The priorities I chose are to finish throw quilts for our children, grandchildren, and great-grands and all the spouses, and to be equipped to do a few jewelry and clothing repairs and alterations for family and friends. Period! Then I was able to let go of the fantasies of all the vast projects I had held in the back of my mind and, consequently, all the "stuff" I had been hoarding for that.
Very good way of putting the issue. Thank you
That quilt is so pretty. Love your blog on utube never miss . Cloth is huge mess
it will take me the whole month to tackle my organization!!!!
Congratulations on 90K subscribers! Your hard work and awesome advice pays off. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of quilting and fabrics.
Home Is is beautiful!
Such a good idea about the project planner. Love it! And the quilts😍
I am starting to tidy up and sort as I ignored it in 2022 and just bought several bins to throw scraps into. I sorted 1 of my scrap bins yesterday, and found it was therapeutic - pile to keep was about a 1/4 of the bin.
I have a suggestion - with your "PARTS CENTRE" why not give a bag to each of your friends/ambassadors - with a challenge they can only add 1 fabric and/or 1 background to see what they can make with their allocated bag! They could make anything - quilt, table runner, bag, clothes etc. (This idea comes from 12 days of Quiltmas 2022)
Thanks for your support in doing my sewing out of control sewing room. It really needs some TLC since I use it daily. It means my happy place needs to return.
I shared somewhere (maybe on your quilting page, I don't know now) that my word for 2023 is Finish. I was helped by another member, Mary, to come to that conclusion. I really need to finish so many projects. And I have finished three pillows so far! Yay! As far as organizing, if I get too organized, I can't find anything. Yes, I'm one of those! Creation through Chaos! The idea of sorting by color appeals to me, but, because my sewing room is also my bedroom, I think it would put too much (more!) lint in the air to keep it in open baskets. So most of my fabric is in smaller plastic - clear - boxes. But so far, it is organized by topic - fabric I'm collecting for my son's quit, floral fabric, Christmas fabric, projects ready to start or in progress, etc. I do have all my purple fabric in one place, with the goal of making a mostly purple quit or two. My main problem is keeping up with tops that are pieced or nearly done. I don't have a large area to keep them, and I keep moving them from my work table/ironing board to my bed, and back again at night. If anyone has any suggestions for storing those types of things, I'd like to hear it! Thanks Pat, for sharing your wisdom with us, and nudging us along the organizing pathway!
Great video! I was actually starting to organize my craft room after holiday crafting so this is right on time! Love your jacket by the way!
I like the word you chose: FUN! That's what quilting is to me. It's also a source of calm. But it sure is fun and it's always good to make daily things fun! I too, will be cleaning my sewing and fabric areas, but I am one that will not part with my fabric. I did watch a video about how someone stored their fabric, so I'm going to try and do all mine that way and see if it can make more space for what is just waiting to be put up. My husband challenged me to not buy fabric this year and see how much I can sew up this year. I accepted that challenge - pray for me!
Tackle Tuesday so I tackled tableclothes on Tuesday !
Pulled them all out and dumped them on the bed then they have to be sorted and organised before I go to bed :)
Some will be great for quilt backings...those hand embroidered by someone, some are for the second hand shop and some will go to the textile recycling container.
yeah 90 K congratulations
Great interview last night with Donna. Love using stickers in planners and calendars; I do the same to make them interesting. Fun is an appropriate word for the year. Life is too short to not have fun. Part of my fun in life is working with all of my fabric. Thank you for all of your videos and books.
love your tidying tips! I've not been sewing long & the organizing was stressful because I like things tidy . I think I have it under control atm 🤞Thank you for all of your tips & suggestions 💞
So encouraging that you miss deadlines too
I just got the book that has the quilt pattern for the one you just finished. My plan is to make it for my mom, who is in the VA home. First, however, I have to finish my never-ending quilt... I refuse to put it away because I will never go back to it.
Thanks Pat for a great video. I particularly liked list you gave that started with bolts, buckets etc as I feel they can be a focus to tackle, one at a time, without becoming overwhelmed 😊
You look so pretty in your purple! Good color on you! Love the blue quilt!
"Go play with your fabric." Seriously...this should be in your outro every video! I love it and for something so simple, very motivating! Thanks, Pat! That ties right in with your word of the year...playing with our fabric gives us permission to have fun and enjoy what we have while hopefully getting something sewn.
I absolutely LOVE sweater weather!!!!! ❤
FUN! Yes ❤!
You sounded a bit defensive in the beginning of your fabric management advice. Hopefully this came from something positive, such as a yoga practice emphasizing listening to your body and following your inner voice, and not from some people criticizing the advice you have given in the past. I don’t quilt the style that you quilt, and yet I follow you almost religiously because you present wonderfully helpful advice and especially project management. You do you, just as you tell others to do. Your work is great.
People get really defensive about their fabric stash, I imagine she’s gotten an earful from people that don’t agree , lol
Good morning, great fabric video, looking forward to the next one. I love the blue quilt in the background. ❤
Nah, I didn't pick up any defensiveness. She's just laying down a qualifier is what I got from it. My skin is kinda tough anyway 😊
I didn't get any sense of defensiveness at all.
Great inspiring video! Gave me great ideas.
This video helped. I need to sort and reduce.
You really made a lot of detailed projects this year and you seemed to hesitate on some because you had so much to do already but you pulled it off. Great job. Don't overwork yourself this year. I don't want you to get overwhelmed or burned out. I really enjoy your daily videos!
Me too
Like you said, Fun!
90K yay!!!! I love “Fun” great word and it’s what we all need these days. I would love to sort my fabric by color but it’s a struggle for me. Fabric, period is a struggle. I’m going to try and rid myself of some and tidy some. It’s to overwhelming to tackle it all as I have a lot. My goal this year is to not buy new unless it’s needed to finish a project. Goal, it’s just a goal.
My organization plan is to match up my fabric stash with quilt patterns I have to reduce my stash by actually making quilts
I keep 5 yard pieces in one place because those are the ones that I use for backings. If they are 5 yards or more of solids, those are used as backgrounds and kept in a different place but together. I keep all my one yard pieces folded and sorted by color. Anything larger than a yard, but less than 5, is folded long ways and in a stack on a shelf by color to find easily. I have a 12 9 cube furniture organizer. So, I put Jelly rolls, charm packs in separate cube bins and layer cakes on the cube organizing shelves
Thanks for this advice about organizing fabrics. I have 50 boxes in storage ( mostly primitive), a storage shed full mostly modern, attic over garage with wool and flannels , bins under my long arm with various fabrics and my sewing room is stuffed. I have been slowly giving away boxes of scraps, fat quarters, and yardage to my quilting group. I don’t feel up to a big yard sale. Not sure how to scale down and would like to recoup some of my $$. It is really hard.
Thank you
I started with a word a few years and switched to a Bible verse. Also I jumped into organizing my fabric when covid hit. I only keep 2 1/2strips, 2 1/2 squares and 5 inch squares. It has help me manage my fabric so much better just to have that done, but now onto some of your great suggestions for the other part as, like precuts, and etc. thanks for the motivation to get me back in the groove.
I keep the same sizes. I found that I just didn’t have space for anything else.
One year I cut up some foam board and made small bolts of yardage. I pinned a label on them; it said how much there was and the width. Then I lined them up on a closet shelf by color. (I like to organize!)
Question: what to do with the extra fabric you trim off a finished quilt. I have several piles of sandwiched pieces, the length and width of a quilt (some are 4 and 5 inches wide). They need to be separated,...suggestions? Maybe toss? Keep batting pieces in a bag? Cut up the fabric? What do you do?
@@carolp1581 I separate the batting and fabric, keeping the batting for toys and pillows. I cut the fabric into 5” or 2.5” squares.
@@carolp1581 I pretty much do the same as some of the others. I keep 21/2 strips, 2 1/2 5 inch squares by color and I separate my batting. I piece with a zig zag stitch my big enough batting pieces into usable batting for table runners, pillows, baby quilts etc. hope this helps.
I’m a Pat too and same hairstyle - go figure! I watch your videos religiously. You are so upbeat and inspiring! FUN is a great word!
I love your blue quilt! It’s so pretty! I’m heading to my sewing space to start my “tidy up”. Hopefully I make it out alive!! 😂😂😂
Love sweater weather! Great way to kick off the new year!
Good morning from Troy,MO. I rang in the new year of with a 24 hr bug. So glad I can watch your tutorials anytime! you brighten my day. Purple looks good on you. I love all of your quilts. Have a blessed 2023.
Oh my gosh, when you talked about the word of the year the other day. I picked fun! Oh my gosh! It’s unreal that you picked the same one! Last year I didn’t participate in a word of the year due to dealing with health issues. Yay! Fun! Love it!
My kids are going to Disney for 5 days…the house is all mine, so this is perfect timing. Your guidance is so helpful!
I love your word of the year. I quilt because it is FUN. When a grandchild asks me to help them make a quilt, I try my best to make the experience fun for them. And, of course, spending time with them is super fun for me. What a great choice to focus on this year. This will be the sixth year for my words of the year - Choose Joy. I know we are supposed to find a new word every year, but these two words touch my soul so I keep them.
Oh my gosh, I just noticed you made 90K subscribers. Congratulations, Pat!!!
Fun is a great word! And for me, it's fun to sort and touch my fabric.
*FUN* is a great word choice - I hope you'll have lots of *FUN* in *2023* making wonderful fun projects - have a great year creating 🥰
Thanks for giving us some "get-go" to wade through all our fabrics! I do love new fabrics too! I have been labeling fabrics that I get as to what I want to make with them but now have so many old projects and new ones being added! Trying to dredge up the old and get it moving!
I love the "Home Is" quilt! Earlier in 2022 I downloaded all of the patterns so that I can make the quilt in 2023. Blue, blue, blue is my favorite color so I'll be following your previous "Home Is" videos to get your beautiful colorway.
I have a lot of precuts and could start my own fabric shop as you said lol. When I was making room for the sewing machine and serger that I inherited from my Mom last year I reorganized my sewing area and all of my precuts. It took days. Now I have each precut separated on different bookshelves, and if I purchased yardage for borders and/or binding I have that underneath the matching precut. That way I don't accidently use the yardage for something else. It's really pretty like that. One of the biggest things I learned (besides the fact that I have too much fabric) is that the name of the layer cake or charm pack needs to be written on the paper wrapper for quick reference. I'm retired and spend many hours in my sewing area each day. I think I need to sew faster...
I really enjoyed your interview with Donna last night. You fielded a ton of questions. 😊
I am a scavenger quilter. I use everything. If I don't like it, it goes in postage stamp quilts. No waste for me 😁
You look Soooo Good in Purple!!….It is Definitely your Color🥰🥰🥰
Hi Pat! Love your outfit today… beautiful color on you! Such a nice interview last night with Donna…. For us who have followed you for a long while, it was so nice to see you up closer and personal!! TY Pat!! You just put out information!! Love ya❤❤
I'm loving these organizational tips. Yesterday I cleaned out an area and only put some items back and it feels so good. I want to keep going. Today is another great video. I do some of these things already, but got a little lazy these last couple of months. Thanks so much Pat!!
Loved the interview last night. It was so enjoyable. Congratulations on 90K!
Love how your Sweater Weather flimsy turned out!
A travel project might be FUN for the summer.
I have lots of travel fabric too!
Hello, thanks for the inspiration to organize my fabric. As you were talking, I could visualize what fabric I know I will not be using. Then I started thinking how I could use that empty space. This will be fun as I revamped my sewing room. 😊
It was good to hear your storage of colours,Christmas and large pieces,I realised that's what I do,just seemed to come about.have Fun today.
Congratulations you hit 90K!!!!
What a great word of the year you chose! Fun. I have a question about fabrics. I have a lot of old fabrics. A lot of them came from my mom's stash. I want to keep them and continue to use them because I love scrappy quilts and anything vintage. Would you keep them desperate, by color or integrate them with your newer fabrics? Congratulations on getting the sweater weather top done! It looks great.
Lori Holt has a great system for scraps. She explains it on her website and also in her new book.
I finally went through my final bag of fabric, kept some but all the rest was donated to different charities. It's FUN to breath when you are organized and not feeling overwhelmed. Thank you Pat for all of your advice and knowledge.
Ooooooooooo the green bin ♥️♥️♥️
In November I went through my fabrics and found a lot of project fabrics sitting together but not separated. I bought pretty cardboard present boxes and put one project in each and input a plastic sleeve in the front side of the box and folded part of the pattern quilt page to see what is inside. My boxes are now on top of each other on my shelves and I can see them beautifully. I also did this to my project UFO.
Wow, just love that jacket and shirt on you!
Wow! Fun! That is what went through my mind the other day when you talked about word of the year...Mine should be "fun" because I have been so isolated....
it was fun seeing your "Home Is" quilt again. I joined your Channel March 2020 and the first quilt we did was "Stay at Home". I am almost done with the top ...having it planned to be worked on so that I can get the top done (maybe not quilted yet) but the top done by March 2023 to share... I would love to see everyone share theirs again this year in March , or maybe it was April when we did them, just to see them all again... How fun would it be to do that... I also have plans to finish up all the rest I didn't get done in 2020, and 2021 don't think I did much in 2022 and if all I get done in 2023 is to finish up the ones previously, then I'll be happy with that. : )
Very helpful suggestions. You gave me lots to think about. I appreciate your videos very much!
Those quilts are jus gorgeous!!!!!!
This is fantastic. It's fun to do projects you love .
I agree completely on things looking cute or I'm not interested! My word of the year is PRIORITIZE and I am using the bullet journal/planner to do that!
Pat, your quilts are beautiful, I especially love the blue and white one called Home, but can you tell me where can I find that Harmony blue wide backing fabric? Oh my goodness it's gorgeous. Really enjoyed the video it was full of ideas, I hope to use some of them in my sewing room. Thank you in advance, and Happy New Year to you and Greg.
thank you! you can buy all my fabric online at shrsl.com/2jbrq
Love, love Sweater Weather!
This was totally awesome!! I have been trying to do a lot of reducing in my sewing room (which means knitting, too) and this is perfect. Thank you so much. These are great ideas and will get me moving.
I definitely have fabric to sort! Last year I bough all the ins & color coordinated and have a few theme fabric. BUT I am very guilty of hoarding scraps 🙄. Love this tidy up challenge!
Good Morning Pat. Good interview last night
I hadn’t even watched yesterday’s video, when I read the pages on your Tidy Up Challenge. I love the idea! I enjoy how you occasionally work into your videos about tidying up! I have so many crates of stuff in my studio, that I’m not entirely sure what’s in all of them. I’ve already gone through and purged some shop hop patterns from years ago, to clean out a binder; now I use that binder to save xstitch patterns that I’ve used and want to make. I’m organizing and purging as I go!
I love your word for the year! You made me think about my word…Grace…and how mine almost seems negative instead of positive like I intended…hmmm. Something to ponder I guess. Happy sweater weather is finished! It is so pretty. You inspire me to make more quilts with your color changes. I want to eventually have enough to change all my bed quilts out by holiday or season. Thank you Pat!
Love your jacket
Loved the interview last night!
I love your outfit, you look very nice today. I am working on my 3rd checkerboard starter-ender quilt. They are fun, easy, and pretty. Also working on my sweater weather quilt
Great video today, loved it !
Started on my planner as well. Using the whole month like you and goals, monthly to dos as well as important dates for the month which are all on the same page so can see at a glance.
GM what an adorable intro that was❤️ ooh love those aqua squares
Fun is a great word ❤
What fun I will have seeing all the fabric I have forgotten about! (I used your word of the year. 😊 ) My goal is just to get all the loose fabric contained and under control. This will be an ongoing project this year. I may just have to sew more. 😮
