Behind the Seams: Live with Corey Yoder!

[Music] hey guys welcome to the fat corner shop July 11th 2019 live stream I have quarry odor of coriander quilts she is the motive fabric designer and we have so much stuff to show you so I'm gonna start with her brand new book it's called Sunday best it's published by martingale and we are offering this 20% off for a week all the details are on our blog and in the description box but the coupon is Sunday best book twenty20 and I'm gonna flip through the book a little bit just to kind of show you and then we're gonna do a show absolutely so this book is co-authored with myself and sherry McConnell you guys probably know her from her blog a quilting life.com so she designs fabric for Moda also and we decided to team up and write a book she was wonderful to write with we have such a good time so the premise of the book Sunday best quotes is our bucket list quilts we kind of thought as quilters we all have quilts that we want to make so we brainstormed themes for quilts we wanted to make and then without showing each other our designs we designed the quilts for each theme so we have like pineapple quilts we have red and y equals we have scrappy quilt so we each designed a quilt within there's six different categories within those categories and then designed and made the quilt and we really didn't see each other's designs until closer to the end of writing the book which was really fun because then we could make comments about and you'll find little comments throughout like what we think about each other's designs what we what we thought maybe the other person might design and so you get kind of an inside peek into how we worked as designers so it was a lot of fun working with sherry the photography in the book is amazing the photography is amazing so it was photographed at I think she's from Washington she has beautiful landscaping in her I am NOT a gardener like everything in my backyard dies so it's fantastic seeing someone who manages to keep things alive and it's just a beautiful setting for the quilts so I'm gonna just poke welts and let you talk okay is gardening with return to winter fabric by Katy and birdie and this is this is my quilt design for the Christmas a Christmas quilt was one of the categories so this is my design for the Christmas and it's a jelly-roll quilt and I wanted to design something that was kind of simple I feel like when we're doing holiday quilts we want something that's kind of simple and quick to piece so but you could easily do this not in Christmas fabrics if you wanted to do something a little bit different and she did scrappy binding scrappy binding yeah so you can get everything from the Jelly Roll you're piecing for the blocks and then also for your binding this one it's sweet confetti and it's a mix of motive fabrics and this one is by Corey yes and this one is from the scrappy section of quilts scrappy coats are always some of my favorites and I always tend to like sort of a sherbety color palette so that's what you see here just a mix of Mota fabrics I had all of these in my stash and then one of the things that she does is she always has a stripe in her collection and you're gonna notice on her quilts there's mostly right lots of stripes I always love a strike on that binding this one is Starlin by Cory Yoder and this is actually my favorite in the whole book this way so for this one so this is the star category we design star quilts and I wanted to design something that worked really well with the Enco Vanessa Christensen's hombre fabrics because I hadn't ever worked with them before and so it's just a star pattern but the fabrics to give it such great movement throughout the whole quilt and if you haven't worked with her hombres like you definitely need to give him a whirl cuz they are a lot of fun and what I love about her fabric is it's the best-selling ombre we've ever had it keeps selling it doesn't stop selling and I am really happy that people like me have figured out how you could actually use it because if you thought about it like years ago people would say oh that's only for modern people but now we're you know it's everybody feels like they can yeah it's a it's a great way to add a whole bunch of colors into a quilt not crazy colors but a whole bunch of cohesive colors without having to buy a lot of different fabrics and this one is a flower this is in the pineapple category these are all fabrics by Vanessa Carson of lullaby teak and I mixed two of her different lines together and it's a two jelly roll quilt so sometimes we buy the jelly rolls or the pre cats just because they're cute this gives you a great excuse to mix and match two of them and I wanted to do a pineapple that didn't require any specialty rulers or paper piecing but kind of still had that pineapple vibe so this is just straight piecing stitching flip corners but it still gives you that look of a pineapple and if this craft sweet it is it's the black cross weave and it mixes so well with like there's sunshiny brights so this is nest and maybe strawberry jam or I think it's sugar pie sugar pie oh yeah and then nest sure so let's go backwards well I don't know if I'm even gonna know all my bad ok so we're gonna show the backings real quick I'm gonna kind of come over here this is the back with the pineapple quilt and sometimes like for this one I just bought a 108 wide it's not I just like I I know Kimberly's a big backing piece her and I love the way that looks but often times I get to the back and I'm like let's just be done yeah and that's why it's such a good idea the back of the ombre yeah the starling I don't recognize this fabric I want to say it's a Wyndham yeah and that was another 108 like if you see a cute 108 you should pick it up because then you can't peace if you want to but you don't have to this is her scrappy and this backing is very sisters wait let's see the three sisters are basic gray oh you're right but it's a 108 also its composition Gabi yeah then she okay we're not even these what we know okay this is returned to winter lane which is this and she just used the background like that this is actually a one away from Lulu Lane oh yeah yeah I know this one because it's in one of my collections but look how much it matches watch thank you okay so sorry about that this is the next one and this is one of Sherry's quilts it's called on a whim and so you saw that I did the one with all of the hombres so this is Sheree's take on the star in some of her and Chelsea's fabrics and then the corner do you want to pull the corner down for the backing the backing so that is not from the collection I don't recognize I'm not sure what that is either it looks great with the cocoa it's probably nice just to pick up those backing farmers this one is Sherry's version of the pineapple it's called pretty and this one uses paper piecing right mm-hmm yeah and she also gives instructions in the book if you wanted to use the creative grids pineapple rulers so you have two options for this one and then the back you put us on the spot asking about backing and then this one I love I can tell this is minikin Simpson mm fabric and this is a courthouse steps the courthouse steps was another one of the quotes and the collection is Nantucket is the fabric collection who designed this one this is Sherry's choice yeah this is Sheree's courthouse steps version yeah we really liked so without seeing each other's designs ahead of time our quilts are pretty different and in different sizes so you have big quilts and little quilts and they could have ended up being you know kind of similar depending on how we had design but they are quite different so this might be from the collection this one is called rain washed the fabric is sunny-side up and Cory designed it and sorry if I'm kind of in a weird spot the quilts are right here so I can only I don't want to step on them and this is the courthouse steps version so you just saw Sheree's and now you're seeing this one so you can see how different that you are and this one is sunny-side up which is the quarry collection and in the back you put my Tevas it's another 108 from Moda yeah I sell most of yours look look machine and most of Sherry's are looking hand yeah that's what I would have said oh my goodness this one is heavy because it has snuggle on the back this I'll go ahead I'm sorry linen and basics mostly Figtree cheryan and chow sherry and Chelsea but mixed with other collection yeah so this is in the red and white collection we each did a red and white quilt and yeah just scrappy and stars and fun and I thought if it's gonna be scrappy and cozy it needs to have them the Mickey on the back so it's super soft but it is very heavy I love it and I can see some sweet water in there yeah there's yeah I know I said the same thing when we pulled it out yesterday I said it's mostly fig tree and sharing in Chelsea oh but there's some sweet water right there okay so it's not everything from the book I think it is do we wanna show that surprise so she has a big like I would say announcement and I didn't even know about it until this morning so I'm super excited because you haven't seen it yet haven't seen it so you wouldn't reduce it and then umm yes so sherry and I are gonna be posting a so long starting in September a block a week featuring one block every week from the quilts in our book and so we're doing a Sunday best sampler quilt and we have tease little peeks of the sampler on our social media on mostly on Instagram here and there but we haven't shared the full quilt anywhere and we haven't made that announcement anywhere so we're gonna show you guys the sampler quilt you are gonna need the book to follow along so take advantage of that coupon code that Kimberly mentioned so you can snag your book in time for so long in September so we'll show both sides and so the finishing will be to worry a little bit yes we're gonna slip it at the top and a bottom on this and then we can flip this weight away you're here okay so this is the top so the finishing will be free but the patterns you will need and I'm gonna sew along also and then I can show you each week in my livestream what I make so what we did is not all of the blocks in the book or 18 inch so we have added borders or made multiple blocks so you are going to be making 12 different 18-inch blocks and then adding the fun little sashing in there and those little nine patches I've used strawberry jam for my quilt really you could use so many different collections you could mix and match you could use your stash now okay this I know we talked about this yesterday tell me the color Abela this is this is yeah Mota Bella slate slate yeah and I oftentimes use that gray and I use charcoal the slates just a little bit lighter yeah okay so let's show that and then the back you used your 108 inch right yeah this is the 108 from strawberry jam yes yeah so I am super excited because I can participate and I'm gonna probably just mix and match yeah it's gonna work really well to do scrappy you could easily pull from your stash but like I'm all about any advantage or taking taking the opportunity to buy new fabric so you're like me like take the opportunity yeah so I think we should answer questions on the book right now so that we get all those questions done before we move on let me tell you how many pages it is because I'm trying to predict your questions so uh page 95 and it has a really nice bio on sherry and Cory and look it's so pretty so yeah the coupon is Sunday best book to zero and you get 20% off for a week did we have any questions yes a question from Gabriel Fuentes do you think a fat quarter bundle will be enough for the sampler yes so I actually cut a fat quarter bundle that I worked off of when I was making mine and I had plenty of fabric doing it that way and then she doesn't have the full fabric requirements ready like the background the border all that stuff it's not ready yet because they're in process of writing all the PDF right if you are a store and you want to participate with this and store contact Cory or Shari so you can get the PD every in advance to be able to go along also mm-hmm right and on the topic of 108 Terry thorne was asking how many yards should I buy if I like a 108 so we will have to get that to you because we don't have all that ready yet right do you mean does she music this number before the sample or just in general if you're buying one of both you don't nearly need as much like two or three yards is usually pretty adequate on the 108 if you google quilt backing calculator I oftentimes use that because you can just type in what your quilt measurements are and say how much overage you want and it will tell you exactly how much you need for any sized clothes so if you don't want to ever figure out the backing on your own just use that just Google I quote backing calculator and use one that comes up do you know the size yet no yeah so there 18 inch blocks and like three inch sashing so whatever that comes out to be that's what size you know what we can measure it real quick we'll have somebody measure it yeah we'll measure it off camera and then we'll get you a measurement and then we can go from there but remember this is just like a sneak peak we don't have all the jobs yet but it will be on Cory's blog Sherry's blog and we what we can put that on our blog too because I'm gonna be sewing along and I do want to say that that slate Bella that she used is in a ton of her quilts and yes Jake when were filming it was like what Bella is that and so I'm gonna have to stock up on that because it's a use it in a lot yeah it's a really good gray it's that nice warm gray sometimes Gray's are a little too cool for the fabric tones I use it's just a really good warm gray mm-hmm yeah and then we had a few people asking since not all fat quarter bundles come with the same amount of fat quarters how many fat quarters would you need or like what size backward a bundle I would say 30 to 40 and again like this is just a sneak peek they have not had time to do all the mats so you're probably gonna have to wait a little bit because we don't want to tell you the wrong thing right have you buy it and then have upset with us so this is just a sneak peek because she just finished it um but we what she will have all that soon because they're currently writing the patterns if it was me I would get a 30 to 40 piece bundle and you'll have those those requirements ahead of time we're kicking off in September but the PDFs are almost ready to go so you'll have it ahead of time that you can purchase your fabric if you need to and then Connie Drake was asking what is the difficulty level yeah yeah it's not hard at all and if you're following big pieces yeah big pieces and you have the book that has like everything all stepped out and Illustrated it's not gonna be a tricky one to do because there are a lot of bigger pieces yeah I would say that's beginner and if you the smallest pieces I'm looking at it right now behind me and the smallest pieces look like maybe those little corner stones and the border so like if you didn't want to do that you could just put solid there to make it easy right I mean I wouldn't but it looks beginner to me yeah and then Theresa worse says for the sampler which fat quarter bundle did Cory used to make it I used sugar Creek I'm gonna said strawberry jam but I use sugar Creek which comes out in September yes Schulz new mom says what is your favorite walk to do in the book oh so they were so fun when I was making the sampler um each one was fun because they used different techniques this is my arm I had fun doing them all this is my favorite and then my second favorite is the ombre because I'm scared she is ombre and I think that's a cool way to use it oh and I did want to say before I forget that these two pillows we want to show you the pillows are bonus patterns that came in our June so sampler box and it makes the collections strawberry jam and walk about walk about yes like is it Creekside is a walk and so it's a collaboration between the two of them and so this was a bonus pattern that martingale put together for our so sampler members so I just wanted to say that before I forgot sorry Lily Bettina Newman says will we be able to get the info from your website as well Corey yes yeah it will all be there it's her thing I'm just gonna so long for fun sure so I thought we could also just show some of Cory's other stuff some of the stuff I have and then talk a lot about the videos that she's been filming because they're gonna be awesome the first thing we wanted to show you with this little bag that she made and it uses your panel yeah from sunny side up to the leader panel mm-hmm and then this is not pieced it's a panel and then just added a little bit of hand quilting on the inside of that I know a lot of you guys have been making Kimberly's project bags so this would be a fun way to kind of bedazzle the inside of your bag if you wanted to add something cute just add a little hand quilting in there and this is this was a pattern that she got off at sea and she could not remember the name but we can look that up maybe at lunchtime because I don't want to take credit this is not our pattern and so we would love to sell the person's pattern on Etsy so we're gonna look that up and get that to you this is showing hand quilting and so talk a little bit about your hand quilting that you're gonna show yeah so I grew up with family members that hand quilted my grandma aunts I think even some of my uncles would be over for hand quilting parties parties so I never got into hand quilting when I was living at home it was always the super fine hand cool thing but after I started piecing quilts I started doing the big stitch version of hand quilting and I just love it I really like doing it on small projects um like this little mini this is my floret mini pattern and it's in sweetness I have a pattern called sweetness and it's really fun just to add that hand quilting on there this is the Prairie fabric line which is my first fabric line that I had you'll see the stripe right away on that binding and so she's showing us hand quilting by hand and then if we have time I brought my sushi Co because you'll all know that I failed at my sushi coat demo but I did bring it because I thought it would be good to have a video that I could watch from home because I apparently don't know how to use my machine so I'm doing a little video that's selfish but yes I mean because if you want this look and you don't want to have to hand and do it like me I'm lazy you can get this look with that machine and I'm not making any money off that machine I'm just this is another quality Hey and that's okay I just have to say I love this one because I can tell there's no batting in it and it's got snuggle and the pair is batting in there yes but hold up so when you hand quilt when you hand quilt and put like the soft on the back minke or snuggle on the back um it's so soft the hand quilting makes a big difference because when you machine quilt they tend to be a little bit stiffer than when you hand quilt yeah wait a minute yes yes so it just makes a really soft quilt and if you start hand quilting your quilts you're gonna notice that yourself that the it just makes a softer quilt but this one is special so I have to tell you about this one this quote was pieced by my grandma she did not use a pattern but it's my grandma Lulu and this fabric line is my Lulu Lane fabric line so she took a layer cake of Lulu lane and pieced the quilt for me and then she had my mom hand quilt it for me and you have to see the label I know you guys are all into the quilt labels down here okay okay hold on I am NOT a very good quilt label or about my grandma is such a good label or so this one it says fabric Lulu Lane by Cory Yoder made by grandma Lulu quilted by Jodi and in parentheses mom and then the date December 16 2017 and I as quilters we're always giving away all of our quilts so I didn't really have any at home like my whole family I had clothes at home but I didn't and so now I have this one and it has such fun memories and I don't know it's just such a neat quilt for me and it's got the straight stripe stripe binding we do have a question from Mimzy rep Assault rep until she wants to know if you have any tips for quilting with minke yeah so it quotes up nicely I wouldn't suggest really changing anything if you're doing me he um if you're a machine quilting it that's a whole nother story but with hand quilting it's gonna cool it up very similar to a quilting cotton so for machine quilters I would say probably tested on the side before you yeah because you might need a different needle or something like that I don't really know anything about machine quilting so this is um hand quilted my mom did the hand quilting on this one for me this was a quilt that I needed to have done for quilt market and we have such a short time to get these quilts done so if it's a big quilt that I need done quickly oftentimes my mom'll do it for me so she hand quilted this whole thing it uses a variety of different threads different colors and this is from your sunny this is from Prairie so this is the Ferno put out thread oh so I didn't have the vibe box out yet but I have a thread box with aurifil now and these colors would be the colors that are in that thread bucks so it's sunny stitches it's a thread box with aurifil and it's a 12 weight thread box so it's great for hand quilting with because that was one of the things when she was videoing I was like well where do I get all these colors and yes like what you sell the box I was like so I just I thought it would be good for people to know because I didn't know and I saw the product this one I love the quilting on this oh my gosh it's yours yes okay where's my quills yours are over on the ladder oh you do want that okay this is terse new Sugarcreek wool yams which I love um so these come out in September also there the woven's they pair perfectly with the prints and what you're gonna notice so you guys know I like hand quilting so when I was putting together a woven collection I wanted all of the little sticky bits so now you can take the woven with the sticky bits and add them in and it's going to kind of give you that look of hand card thing I want to show okay so this is like actual thread on top of fabric I don't know how to explain it yeah and then like if you look here sort of this is like actual thread that goes through and so when you're looking at the back you can see that it's the hand the look of hand quilting without having to do the work which is why I use it in this other quilt that I have so sorry I just no you're good you're good I just love that you can have in the name of that that is pound cake it's a layer cake pattern okay let's wait okay let's do that let's wait cuz we're gonna have to sit and do math cool so this is the one that I just did that I have been showing you guys for the pineapple day so along and I got it quilted Jeana tell from thread graffiti quilted it for me and she did the binding and she did it fast so cute and then I have my little label that's so cute on the back and so this is the same fabric that she just showed I used a Riley Blake kisses I believe on my little white tonal yeah my tonal but it's really nice to work with I was scared I'm gonna be honest I was scared to work with the woven and doing the pineapple paper was a good way because it stays so yeah the woman's are lighter weight than a quilting cotton I use starch when I was piecing with mine just to give it a little extra body but they press up so nicely so Justin will you go ahead and get nova to calculate the math okay perfect sorry okay so Jocelyn amazing Jocelyn just did all the math for you guys so the sampler is coming out now this is we just measured it on the floor it might not be exact we're coming up with sixty five and a half by eighty five and a half which would be about three quarters yard binding five and a third yards forty four inch wide binding backing or two and 1/8 yards 108 inch backing and the blocks are 18 inches so okay I'm gonna say it one more time sixty-five and a half by eighty five and a half three quarters yard binding five and a third if you're using forty four inches wide backing or two and an eighth if you're using 108 inch backing and so that's just our simple math right now like we just did that right now so she might change it slightly on her but at least give you a kind of a start a start yeah and then for me like just looking at that for a background cuz I'm gonna start this and I'm not gonna wait with PDS I'm just gonna start uh I'm gonna probably buy five yards of background I think you're probably really only need three to four but I'm gonna start with five or six because I have a big when I finished my backgrounds I keep them in this one drawer and then when I do a mini quilt like the one I just showed I'll just grab the leftovers then I'll mix my whites so I don't ever worry I'm very chintzy about buying fabric I will say I don't have a big stash of fabric but on backgrounds I'm not yeah you can always use another project for sure yeah yeah and especially if you tend to choose the same color of backgrounds like just add that into your next project I'm working on since you were talking about the hand stitching what do you use for thread and needle for your hand stitching and if they want more info on it where can they find it okay so in the video yeah we're gonna be sharing videos so you're gonna get all supply information on there we do I do use a 12 weight or an 8 weight thread my thread box is a 12 weight and that's a great weight to start with for hand quilting if you want those bigger stitches and I like to use a size 7 embroidery needle that needles not for everybody it tends to be a little bit bendy so I encourage people to try out different needles and that's actually something that I suggest in the video we're gonna be sharing is I'll give you some different options so you can find what works best for you yes so I would wait for the video I'll show you the thread box and we've had this thread box for a while and I didn't even know yeah so when I put it together I chose colors that are gonna work for a lot of different collections so they're just the warm happy sherbety colors and some of the videos that she did will go ahead and talk about some of those videos is and I was so enamored so she does a video on hand quilting a video on mixing hand quilting with machine quilting a video on just machine binding which I have not mastered even though I have a video out there on and I'm horrible at it but then she did the it's called pipe yeah faux piping bowhype spine I figure out what the heck she was doing there the whole time so it's um let me try to explain it okay so you make two fabrics you put them together you'll have to watch the video it's very complicated and then when you stitch it down you stitch in the crease and then you don't ever see your stitches and so tell me about how like it was the first time yeah so I tried machine binding years ago and you know how it just starts to look all kinds of sketchy on the back and I was never happy with it so I always just ended up hand binding and then I saw this somewhere I don't even remember where I saw this being done and I thought I'm gonna try that because it was different than any of the ways I tried it it was the first time that I was happy with machine binding and it looks nice on the front and it lays nice and tidy on the back and so I thought well this is just a great technique for me so and then it got you more comfortable to be able to do her method that's just playing binding yeah this and oh one of the things that I did notice oh it's upside down sorry one of the things that I didn't notice is she uses why is it twenty twenty-one twenty twenty-one on everything hmm so um that's interesting to me because I'm like always so OCD about like matching my thread and she just does why yeah I just tell you that white in my machine I never have to worry about changing out anything Oh like I thought oh and on that it's all just white yeah yep so that's a good thing yes those are exciting okay this is one of the pillows we did and then we show how you put the pillow together yeah so I have this pattern it's a it's actually four magnets patchwork magnets but we use this pattern and made little pen cushions out of them and so we share a video on the little house one the little house pin cushion and this is another great time you can use hand quilting if you want to so I hand quilted some them I mixed Sugarcreek prints and woven so it gives you a chance to mix those so we did the little house and actually I liked the little house from this pattern I did this kind of first that I did a whole pattern on just just the houses so you'll find the little house pattern in either one of these yes and this is flour mill fabric if you wonder what fabric that is but the little pin cushions are so cute I said they're not for someone who is a heavy Pinner because they're so teeny you can only fit like three pins and one there for titration they're adorable yes yeah so that's another video that we have come in and then we talked about I don't have all the info but she was talking about Sheila what is the name of this I'm gonna try this oh I'm taking the magic pins so she like lovely and I will not use the pen unless it's 0.5 millimeter because I like I'm I like to be able to go fast so I'm gonna take these home and test them and I'll let you all know what I think and I'll be honest oh I'm kind of scared cuz I don't like change but she was she was just raving about it yeah well I love him I kind of go through phases of favorite pins and these are my current favorite pin yes so this is her book playful pedal yeah and this actually has been out for a few years but I brought it along because since we've been talking about hand quilting the cover quilt on the book is this quilt here and it's beautifully hand quilted again by my mom and this uses one of banessa Christensen's first lines of fabric yes and it's just like a rainbow of hand quilting and it's so good the backing that's really on yeah so I don't know any time you can bedazzle with hand quilting you should totally do it yes and then I'm going to show you some other things that we've been working with Cory on and then we can just ask her any questions and I have a search update too so we had I wanted to talk about we have a DMC thread pack she picked some fancy colors on her blog about two years ago she did a free do you want to explain it the crust is soaked yeah so it was a little I think I did it probably block of the month style but it was a cross stitch one so it was a cross stitch quilt block of them on and each month we did a little different quilt block it just finishes about what is that maybe eight inches by eight inches or something like that and the this is the palette that I used for that project and the patterns are free and they're still on my blog so that's Cory Angie quilts calm you can go there and get the free patterns they're just PDF style and then grab your matching DMC threads and you're all set and then did you want to tell them your Facebook group name oh you have a Facebook group I think it's coriander clothes yes yeah I should know that oh she has a similar like a Facebook group like we have Kimberly stitch squad yeah so if you're like somebody who loves Corey's fabric and you want to share your stuff come and showcase yes and someone showed the cross stitch like Sunday just so put little lines yeah oh I saw that it's super cute I want to say to like people always ask me what it's the coriander like what's the deal with the name okay so coriander quilts is Cory and her quilts but it's coriander quilts and so that's where that comes from so you just remember that coriander quilts and then you'll have like it's coriander quilts everywhere yeah I never knew that and I did want to remind you guys she is the designer behind so colorful spools it's a PDF only available at Porter shop and it's with our club that is called something so colorful so color club so colorful fat quarter club I can't remember and I just I don't know they told me to bring my blog so I've already shown you guys my blogs but haven't seen your yellow ones yet I just smashed my yellow ones last week yeah so this is just a way to connect the name to the designer because that way you know it's her have you talked about this mochi linen before no um I don't know so this is my say it mochi but I've heard people say mochi whatever yeah yeah it has the same I've used different linens and I really like using this is a motor linen it's thicker than quilting continent but it has the same shrink rate as the quilting cotton so they mix together and wash together really nicely yeah and I starch the heck out of these so I'm hoping that they shrunk before I started but yes and she picked it this is what's on the cover and then I just have a bella mixed in and I did mind a little bit different so on hers on her blog you'll see she uses all the colors everywhere and I used white here just so that mine would be different than hers so I just thought it'd be fun to connect the name with the designer yeah having fun with it it's been fun seeing you guys as blocks pop up too because everyone's doing something a little bit different mm-hmm and then if you're in our so sampler Club Korey was so nice to design our block the month that is our little cards that go inside if you want to sew along we have a kit and I can show you the first three because that's what's been released I sewed this quilt and see I'm gonna I can't show you everything so I'm just gonna show you right here and I'm gonna show you upside down so don't open it well actually I'll turn it but we have it folded so you can only see the first three so you can see but corey designed it and it's Cory's fabric yeah this is strawberry jam yes and I want to tell you guys so I have fat quarter shop was nice enough to send me the applique cutout shapes so that I can use them on my project it was new to me this type of fusible if you guys haven't taken advantage of that kit I can't say enough good things about having those applique pieces already cut out for you and the fusible is wonderful like you know sometimes you have crazy backing it doesn't peel off it's nice this peels off wonderfully you don't have any of those rogue threads that you sometimes get and it's not too thick like it's not usable thank you yes good yeah so if you've been on the fence about the application okay this is a good thing okay and they're telling me we only have 20 kids left and the applique templates are only in the kits we made exactly that many but we have a plan because we knew you were gonna sell out and what the plan is is we are making more kits in Sugarcreek when that comes out in September so if you want to make and they look very similar we have the other one here but I can't show you because we've secret so we want to sell these twenty kids I didn't know we only had twenty left but I made this one and I put this on the back so I just wanted to show that and then of course per credit because she was so nice to design that for all of you guys I'm excited to work with you guys I think it turned out super cute and then I am gonna give a quick start a starch update because I don't want to forget yes so I want to give a huge shout out to whoever you guys are that called it faultless because y'all got their attention and I'm so excited because I have reached out to them and got no response but now I have got their attention and I'm so excited because you have no idea how much on the search I've been so they sent us so nicely and I'm so appreciative okay so I'm gonna tell you the dilemma in Austin Texas it's where I live this is everywhere this is an h-e-b this is in chart not Target this is an HP and this is some Walmart this is what I can find I used it I have 20 cans of it it's a little stiff so for PC it's great for borders no bueno no it's crunchy so you can make it work in your blocks but not on your borders so they were so lovely because I was so confused and I could not figure out what was the replacement because apparently all you guys figured this out for me and I cannot be so happy that y'all are like my little researchers so faultless got bought by Niagara two years ago apparently so they have changed all the branding this is the replacement for what I use it's called faultless Niagara original hold I haven't been able to find it everywhere it is not in Austin Texas so I am gonna go today on walmart.com and Amazon and buy some and have it shipped to me and I'm gonna try it out I'm gonna try this this weekend and I'm gonna tell you next week what I think because I have a lot of stuff I'm selling this week but I'm concerned because I only have one can and one cam is gonna get me like ten minutes but I am so excited that I have the answer that I have been searching for I am hoping that in Austin Texas a store will carry this makeup I literally use like $60 worth of starch every time I go to the store so and I think this one's a little bit more expensive now the other one was okay I'm gonna read them to you but this is the one I don't know anything about them so this was just sent to me I'm gonna try this one this week in its original hold this is the one that's the most easily accessible it's firm finish when it says firm it ain't playing this is for like if you want to start your collar and you want your collar to stick up and you want to look fly from the 70s by this heavy hold faultless so this is a firm finish this is a heavy hold I don't know the difference I haven't tried them this is flexible finish so I would think this would be lighter and this is light hold sizing I am NOT a fan of sizing in the past it's just not thick enough so I'm gonna I'm gonna have some fun with this and I am so thankful guys you'll have no idea like whoever called them whoever did whatever I oh you want a bit okay yes I because I was just like what is the replacement what is the replacement and I think I got stuck because this is not on the faultless side so if you go to the faultless website this is not on there so that's confusing because I couldn't figure out the replacement and it's not in the stores in Austin Texas so this is my one can guys I am gonna drive to Walmart today to try to find my more cans because I need to get some stuff done and I want all the starch in the quilt to be the same starch because I'm a little OCD not that y'all didn't know that but I'm very OCD about stuff so I am like oh my gosh whoever did that thank you everybody call them tell them to sponsor me yes because they need and the only reason I'm asking for that is I can't find this can of sorry I just need to starch it's like a it's like a crack addict they need they're saying I need your source I can't have no idea like without starch my quilts don't go together as nicely and I get that straight I want to enjoy my process and I need mini Serge because I like everything to go together really nicely I don't like change we've talked about it I don't like change and so I have found this is the same product and I mean more yeah and so I think that you know when they just restocked Walmart and everything they just kind of went with the firm but for my quilts it's just too much do you search sometimes not as aggressively as you do GN from Facebook was asking what wait thread is do you use for hand quilting I use yeah often times twelve wait if you want something a little bit heavier you can use eight the thread box is twelve and it works wonderfully especially if you're new to hand quilting at eight is gonna feel pretty big but for you so at twelve is really nice and there's a lot of people that make the needles we had had this conversation yesterday like primitive gather what do you what do you call the needles that you use I use embroidery needles but you don't have to get locked into embroidery needles there's like Sasha Coe needles or darning needles I know people use so there's not a certain type you have to use just something that's longer like a bigger eye so accommodate the thread yeah and some bend and some done and there's a preference on some people like the ones that are more bendable some people don't Lucian is coming out with the Cosmo sachika threads soon have you tried it I haven't but I've been eyeing it so um we're gonna see how that product does I'm actually excited about it because I think it's gonna be cool yeah at home I'm just gonna admit what I did I took it home and thought oh this looks like a cone I could maybe get this to work on my Sasha Co machine oh yeah Sasha Co gets feisty oh no it was like no but that is I love that there's more options so that you don't have to feel like you have to buy one thing yeah try different things and find what works best for you Linda Prather says do you have a large frame to do hand quilting or how do you do your hand quilting okay so I oftentimes I'm doing something small and so when I'm doing something small I use the five oh five spray basting and I just spray based it you can safety-pin based without a frame and you can also hoop you know bigger projects the big quilts that you guys saw my mom has two different large quilting frames and so that's what we would put those size quilts into I realize not everyone has a quilting frame so just know that you can safety pin based thread based get like the bigger hoops so there are options that you don't have to use a quilting frame and then a few people were asking if you could remind us with the coupon for the Sunday best quilts book was Sunday past quilt to zero a lot of questions about the videos since we mentioned we're filming a lot of videos with Corey first question was when will the videos come out one to two to three months so will space them out some will come later in September and and October because we want them to come out when the fabric comes out we don't want you to get frustrated and say oh I want to make that exact thing and you don't have the fabric so we had her come way in advance so we have time to edit the video so they're just gonna come out over time but in the next you know one to four months and we're going to space them out so they can live so it's not like Cory Yoder day for one month yeah well no one wants to see Cory Oder day for a week we want them to you know like they have to give them space so that'll go out as they go out yes because if you put them all out on one day then we don't get anybody to watch it's the algorithm of YouTube yeah that's the thing okay and then they were asking where will they be able to find the videos does Cory have a YouTube channel they will be on the Photoshop YouTube channel and I'm sure that she will share them on her Instagram and Facebook and we will share them but on the channel you're on right now the video related question is a few people are asking is there going to be a live stream tomorrow as well no I am going to take my kids to the food bank to volunteer so no I will be at the food bank tomorrow so excited and lots of people also really want to know what that basket quilt is that's on the couch oh sorry the basket okay so this is my happy scrappy basket pattern it uses two layer cakes I mix together a Sugar Creek print layer cake and a Sugar Creek woven's layer cake and we're actually going to be filming another video today about using prints and wovens together because I get asked that a lot it comes up a lot so this is an example of prints and wovens mixed together that's already been washed because that's something that people want to know about - like how are they gonna wash together if you don't pre wash so I washed it and then I line dried it and it really shrank crinkled just about as much as I would expect from just regular quilting cotton on its own yeah and you can tell that like the cotton and the woven didn't shrink at different rates mm-hmm yes people do yeah and I think a lot of people are scared to mix the two within a quilt so I wanted to make sure that you guys could see hey this is what it looks like you can mix them and you don't have to worry about crazy shrinking stuff yeah so happy scrappy baskets to layer cakes Sugar Creek fabrics and then right now we also have shout outs of people that are excited to see you on our channel Cory we have a shout out from a Sioux domestic and a shout out from Pat Sloan Oh awesome so they're very excited it's been fantastic being here with you guys I was a little bit nervous yes well actually more than a mother I was kind of nervous she said that though she seemed chilly but like not today I'm like well that was fun I feel like it's chill that's nice and she made me look bad because she did making mistakes and I was like oh I totally you just got in here when I was making notice of all the day before Lilly and I had a little Fiasco so I was like feeling really guilty because I made Lilly's day a lot longer cuz I made her refilm a bunch of stuff because I kept messing up and then I came in here and I was like oh no you didn't oh you just did Maliha fire me you just didn't see it I'm glad if it came off that way but you don't know missed photo you some snappers look cooler as you started talking I was like I don't remember anything I am yeah no she didn't do as bad as she thinks she did guys my god I'm like really hard on myself and I don't like to step outside my comfort zone and I'm really stepping outside of my comfort zone with our jaw jelly July crusted stuff and I don't know what I'm doing and we had to redo a video because I put the rickrack also split the brick rack there's like I say there's three pieces the regret supposed to go here I'll put the rickrack here and then lily and Denise were like you're not solicited I'm like and I was like yeah all pissed off because I don't have em in I'm like I'm gonna do it Kimberly's way and they were like and then like five minutes later I was like oh and they were like we were trying to tell you and I was like well I thought I could do it I don't know we can you should figure it out and then one time the glue it like came out everywhere and I was it like burned the what is that called a matte and it was yeah whatever good times um cold chicken Hines says do you pre-wash woven's you can if you're a pre washer you can I don't prefer to pre wash so I did not I don't pretty watching anything yeah I'm with you I appreciate it with my mister domestic is asking is Cory a 100 percenter yes you know what that means I don't know okay so he's over here when he came and he was starting mystic what are you talking about so he said okay let me think if I can say it right so like a hundred percent IRR is like me like when you're stitching if you don't make it perfect you don't feel right about it oh so you're a hundred percent er but a ninety-five percent IRR is somebody who can make mistakes and be okay with it and then not have to rip it out because if they ripped it out it would make them unless Lily can you explain it better yeah like do you find joy and like 95 percent which is like you have a couple mistakes or 100 percent or so I'm a hundred percent I'm pretty sure she's our presenter like I could go I could go a little under a hundred I feel like she could go 99 but yeah but if it gets too janky I'm like we got to do something about this yeah no she kept using that word yes yes you gotta redo this she's on her person oh she just doesn't know cuz I know if mr. domestic is a 95% she's not um Gabriel Fuentes as Corey can you tell us a tidbit on your next fabric collection after your woman's oh yeah that you can gone yeah so you guys are gonna start seeing little peaks of that in like maybe a month or so I think is when we're gonna start being able to share more I'm sowing with it right now it's super cute I could probably say if you like Sunnyside up you're probably gonna feel right at home with this next collection after sugar creek and then yeah keep your eyes peeled for for other things because there's more fun things coming yeah we have something planned lots of good things planned and Theresa was asking are there patterns for those little quilts this the little the little magnet pattern this is um so this is what we used to make the pin cushions and then so there's two patterns cuz the house this is the same little house with those exact same measurements is in both of these so if you wanted to do just little mini houses only the little mini neighborhood pattern is available if you wanted to do a whole bunch of different designs there's six different patterns in just this magnet pattern that all finish at two inches now this is four magnets so you can make Patrick magnets but all we did was just instead of putting the magnet in we stuffed it and just made a regular back so either one of these for the house if you want more options you'll want this one right here the magnet pattern and if you want to find her patterns on our website you just search corriander c o r IA and d ER because her patterns are under that her fabric is under Cory Yoder cor ey Pinto so that helps you find it or you can buy her patterns and Cathy men are it says will the so long be available on YouTube after September yeah yeah we're going to so we're gonna have PDFs that are gonna release every week that tell you like go to page whatever in the book and make this following the instructions and then add these borders or make four or you know that sort of thing so you'll need the book so you have the measurements and the construction methods in there but then you'll have a PDF that tells you you know once you do that how many you need or if you need to add anything so it's gonna be similar to a lot of you guys have sewn along with what's her last so along that was with the book perfect 10 was it perfect tune so we did a perfect ten and we had a PDF each week and it said go to this page do this it's the same thing except you need her book and then it doesn't give you the measurements inside the pattern cuz that she's trying to sell her book guys but it's the same thing and then she gives you a finishing which is kind of the same thing we do so similar to that and we haven't had anybody with difficulties with that at all so it should be really easy and again if you're a store and you want to do this in your store you just contact her and her Gary information yes or if you want your local store to do it with you you could tell your local store about it along the same lines Debbie on YouTube was asking any chance a kit can be done for the so long we cannot do a kit because it is past the deadline to buy Sugarcreek but we will have Sugarcreek back quarter bundles so we can up our order on that maybe and then you just would by béla steal the slate slate yeah and then the bela you use 97 or 60 i use 200 200 yeah 200 so we'll make sure we have enough of those colors and then you can just put your kit together but yeah okay so I realize for my kind of pick my favorite comments this one is from peach she says someone means Oh peach Cory loves you she said someone needs to open a starch store near Kimberly you'll be an instant millionaire like I am so like I tomorrow have a big day plan we're gonna volunteer and I'm gonna make a whole quilt and I don't know what I'm gonna do because I really start I'm like I'm gonna go find the starch but I know starch is nowhere so I'm like desperate like I need to start yeah I need a starch I need a Kimberly starch store now okay and then we do have a limited amount of time left so I'm just gonna take a few more comments here the big debate in the chat right now is several people have never heard the word Janki they're wondering what it means to your sketchy or ratchety year any of those words how someone suggested caddywhompus okay many ways would be great that would be another one I would use yeah that's good yes all kinds of options yeah Lola Evans was asking how many stitches to an inch does Cory use all right so yeah for hand quilting this is what I tell people because I get asked that how long should those stitches be what's the spacing in between those and really hand quilting is gonna be as specific as handwriting so my stitch length tends to be about a quarter-inch and maybe a quarter inch space in between but not everyone's is that way some is shorter stitches longer spaces vice versa it kind of just is the motion that you get into when you were doing your hand quilting so mine if I had my own hand writing style would be a hot mess I couldn't do it I was watching her do it too you know so there are some people that like actually prefer to have a little more variation and like a little bit more of a slant in their stitches because they want it to look like hey this is hand quilted this is a little bit more primitive so if that's your thing like I've seen people do it that way yeah it was 100 I was like oh know that I could do all that you can totally do it watch the videos okay um Patricia Lewis says hi everyone what background and border did he use for the so sampler pillows they look great I like the colors okay okay so this is from looks like from the walk about collect yeah that's when the walk about shoes is the creamier white I don't know I think that is in the collection well this is yeah this is a cream in her collection because it's not a Bella this is a cream in her collection oh it's a little tone yeah you can see it yeah this this is a two hundred yeah and this is from the collection her Creek so this is like a pink with X little pluses from berry jam yeah yes I was like XS pluses yeah so she uses two hundred oh another favorite comment earlier from Liz Hensel Meyer she says I call it opportunity cloth not cheater when we were talking about the cheater cloth very good yes pre-done and Stephanie Fyodor says does Cory have any live events coming up in Ohio that we can attend I do so actually I'm glad you asked that sherry and I are going to be together in Ohio the last I think it's Thursday Friday Saturday in August so next month it's called a quilters gathering in Berlin there's a website a cultures gathering in Berlin calm with more information we will both be teaching classes at that event and we're doing a Sunday best trunk show I think we'll probably have some of the quotes from our fabric collections that are coming out so that's a big one that's coming up and you can easily check out those details on that website so last question here from Diane motley she actually asked this question prior to the livestream on Facebook she says I happen to love Corey's fabric lines could she or would she be able to show Oh to share with us the process of designing the line to the finish I'm sure it's always a lengthy process but I've always been curious how it's done thanks yeah for sure so this is fun and this wasn't anything that I knew before I started doing fabric with Mota and we all work a little bit differently so I can tell you how I do it I will like I usually do my big floral fabric first because it takes the longest and I will if it's more complex I will draw out each flower hand draw out everything and then scan it into the computer and then I can I'm sure there's easier ways to do this I'm just not super fancy with my design skills so then I can take it into the computer and I'll retrace it and then I can recolor and move things around and I make every like individual little leaf or frog soul or whatever you have going on in your fabric and then I'll place it where I want it and move things around in color and then once I have all of the prints within a collection I like to do maybe eight or nine different prints or so I will color them how I think the collection could look but like way more options than we're ever going to need that gets turned in along with the color palette that I have in mind and then Moda will send solid color samples back to me to approve the solid colors once those are approved then the next thing that happens is they send a whole bunch of they're called strike offs print strike offs so solids strike us first and then print strike offs and I might get like 80 or 90 different print strike offs and they're just gonna be different background colors different flower colors they kind of mix up the colors within what I've turned in and then I choose they want like forty or less so between thirty and forty different fabrics of the ones that I like best and what I think will work well with the collection I send that back in and then that gets turned into the final collection it takes like from the time I turn things in I think it's like maybe a year and a half or so till you guys can get it in the store something like that I always kind of lose track of of where we're at in the process but something like that so it's a really fun process it's fun when those strike offs show up that's kind of how it works in a nutshell all right and we have two super chats from Jennifer Foster's so she gets two confetti cannons and she just says love fat corner shop so thank you Ray one confetti cannon and another one thank you very much appreciated Jennifer okay and then a last comment here from Kathy Dhoni she says they have the starts with a yellow cap at Walmart in Dallas area I am gonna go and I h-e-b whoever does anybody work at h-e-b because I need this because there's no Walmart by my house I don't have a Walmart I haven't lots of targets but they don't sell starch at targets well you can go and like request products and they'll usually start care I'm like when I shop I just want to go in and go out no Lilly you do that Lilly can do it for me it's like me at Starbucks like I'll walk in and just order it on my phone so I have to talk to anybody okay awesome so guys have a great weekend thank you so much for coming we have so much for you to look forward to lots of new new ideas and different things that we've never shown you and y'all have a great weekend and I'll see you next week [Music] [Music]
