(upbeat music) - Hey, guys, it's July 3rd, 2020. I'm Kimberly Jolly from Fat Quarter Shop. And I have a great demo for you today. I wanted to let you know, we have some Foundation
Paper Piecing pads. And so the very first
one that we came out with are the Log Cabin pads. And so they're available in
a six and a 12 inch size. And I have been sewing
along with these all year to make a big Log Cabin quilt. So we have those. So I'm gonna show you those first. The second ones we came out
with are Pineapple paper, six inch and 12 inch. And for now we're gonna
stick with those two sizes. We're not gonna be adding
extra sizes at this time. We might in the future. And then the brand new ones are
Economy blocks by Lori Holt. And I'm gonna be doing
a demo on these today, along with another block. And I wanted to let you know, on the Economy block the
six inch, it comes this way. I'm gonna show you lots of options on how you can play with this paper. And on this one, you can
either have this Economy block in the inside, or you can
just put one big fabric here. Both options are available on the paper. In addition to that, we have size guides that you can download for free. And they show you how, with
a six inch or 12 inch paper, how many blocks you would
need for a wall hanging, crib, lap, lap, twin, queen, king, table runner. So it's a fun way to,
if you wanted to know exactly what to make, it
works with any of the pads, 'cause they're all six and 12 inches. So that's super awesome. So the first thing I'm gonna show you is my quilt that I'm gonna show you today. So I made this on Tuesday.
It took me about three hours. And what I did here is I
alternated Economy blocks with a Simple Star block. So the very first demo I'm gonna
do is on the Economy block. The second demo will be on the Star. (metal clattering) Oops. My rulers are flying. So I'm gonna kind of get all
my stuff out and show you. So the very first thing
is on the Economy block. You can see right here. What I did was, I did dark, light, dark. You could do it all Scrappy. So where every piece is Scrappy. You could do the same thing
where it's dark on the outside, but maybe more of a medium on the inside. You could do Scrappy on the outside with a dark on the inside. You could do a light on
the outside and the inside and a dark on the middle. And then these are the two papers. These are the two blocks that were used for the cover of the pads. And this is made out of Prim. So let me know if you
all have any questions on the Economy before I demo. And I'm gonna, as you're asking questions, I'm going to kind of get
all my stuff together that I need to make this. - [Lily] Great, the first
question we had was from Teresa. They say, "I love the Economy block. "I wonder if there's a
chance that Lori would do "a smaller one, say a four inch size?" - So we're not doing
extra sizes right now. We will be adding extra
sizes maybe next year. We want to build up our
pads in the six and 12 inch, and then we will add to the sizes. But right now it's not gonna be soon. - [Lily] From Dinos & Tutus, "So is that like Triangle paper on a roll? "That's so cool. Perfect
for a beginner like me." - Yes it is. It's just in a pad because
it's more of a block. And so we're gonna be expanding
all of our paper products. And they're all made in the US. - [Lily] And then we
just had a fun comment from Linda Gillespie. She said, "My show. Ah!" And then she put a bunch of hearts. - Thank you. - [Lily] So I thought that was cute. Thanks, Linda. From Cindy P., "Why did
you name it Economy?' - That is the name of
the Traditional block. And so it's the name of
a block that came out in the Kansas City Star
newspaper, in the early 1900s. And so Lori came up with this idea. We will be adding more from her. Our next pad, our fourth pad
will be Courthouse Steps. And then Jocelyn and I
have a list after that. But obviously we don't
want to tell everybody what we're doing so people
don't do it before us. Okay. So now we're gonna
go to the top camera. And in your pad, whether
it's the six inch or 12 inch, or any of the pads, when you open it, these are the instructions. And it will tell you what size you need to cut for light and dark. And of course, like I showed
you, you can reverse it. So here's your pad. I've already started
pulling from this pad. So you can see that the pad stays together even when you pull the papers off, 'cause this is the pad
I was using at home. So the very first thing is
I've already cut my fabrics. And this is kind of
the look I'm going for. And I, to make mine, what I did, was we have a Petite
Vintage Happy 2 Stacker that has fewer, it's
not a full Layer Cake. It's 10 inch squares. And so I bought one of these. And this is what I used. And even this is leftover
from my table runner. And the reason I made my
table runner two by 12 is because that fits in my sewing room. So now I'm gonna show you how you would do this and how
to do it really fast at home. So the very first thing
I do is I am going to use this Add a Quarter ruler. I like the six inch size
for the six inch paper. Now, if you were doing 12 inch paper, you would get the longer size. And I'm just gonna kind of crease it between the one and the two. So, yeah, sorry. It's
hard to see. There you go. So between the one and
the two I've got a crease. So when I turn it over,
you see the crease, you want your square in
the center, right side up, and you go about a quarter
inch past that crease. And then you put a triangle,
right sides together, so you're doing this totally opposite of what you would think. And you can see you're
a quarter inch past. Now on the very first one
I might pin, I might not. Now since I'm on camera,
I'll pin so it won't move. At home I don't even pin. So I turn that over. And we're gonna stitch
one all the way down, right here, between the one and the two. But I'm gonna start about
a quarter inch before and stitch a quarter inch after. Let's see, I usually
use a 1.5 stitch length. But some people are saying
that that's too small for them at home, and that's
fine, you can do longer. (machine whirring) So now you can kind of see. Sorry, I'm trying to get the light, right. And then what I will do here is fold this back. And trim it at a quarter inch. Okay, this is not gonna be great. Okay, we're gonna trim at a quarter inch. It's not gonna work.
- Okay. - [Kimberly] So let me
just do it over here. So I trimmed that at a quarter inch. And now what I'm gonna do, you can either iron at this point, or you can use your Seam
Press Roller by Lori Holt. That's what I do, 'cause it'll save time. And then I don't have to get up. Now I'm gonna go to the other side, fold between the one and the three. Crease. Then I need to trim this
a quarter inch away. Hold on, let me move everything. There we go. That should work. And then we're going to
trim a quarter inch away. So you don't have too much waste. And then right sides together,
your next triangle, and add. And you can pin or not pin. Now, like I said, I'm
on camera, so I'll pin. But at home I don't ever pin. You could also use a glue stick. That just takes too
much time for me. Fussy. (machine whirring) And so that is actually
how fast I sew at home. And then I just keep adding. And if you are ironing this at this point, you would wanna make sure
you have your steam off so it doesn't shrink your paper. So let me know if you have
questions before I keep going? - [Lily] Yeah, real quick, I have seen a few people saying that
they're having trouble seeing the video because of the chat. If you're on YouTube and
you just tap on your phone and go to the top right, there's
a little chat bubble there. If you click it, the chat goes away, so you'll be able to see it. And a question from Tracy Eckhardt, they're asking, "You don't
sew directly on the fabric?" - [Kimberly] No, you
sew on the other side. - [Lily] Okay. - [Kimberly] So you're sewing
on the line with the paper. You're putting, you're sewing where the numbers are, and then the fabric's on the
other side, right side up. - [Lily] Mm hm. From Buzzy Bee Cottage, "What is the size "inside the square in the Economy block?" I think that center, yeah, you got it. - [Kimberly] Three. - [Lily] Three inches square. - [Kimberly] And it will
tell you on the instructions what size to use. Now on this, this is Layer Cake friendly. So if you wanted to do the six inch size, it's Layer Cake friendly. Or if you were going to do something like this, where you use all different fabrics, it's Charm Pack friendly. It's just, if you wanted it
to be matchy matchy like this, you would need a Layer Cake. So it's either Charm Pack
or Layer Cake friendly, depending on how you
want to use your fabrics. And I love this one. - [Lily] That one's really cute. - [Kimberly] I don't know
what I'm gonna do with it, but I'm gonna do something with it. - [Lily] All right, and
then a few people asking how many sheets come in the pads? - [Kimberly] 42, I believe. Let me see.
- Mm hm. - [Kimberly] 42. - [Lily] Okay. And Bobby Millican says, "So one packet equals a whole quilt?" - So you would download that
paper that I have over here. And it will tell you how many you need. So for example, for a wall hanging, you would only need four. For a lap you would need
four by six, which is 24. Six by six is large. So you would download this, and then it tells you how
many squares you need. And then you would decide from that. And so that's why we did that. And that works with any of them. So we need to do one that's the Economy. So, Jocelyn will draw up the Economy one. Ashley, can you email her to do that? But they're all the same.
It's all the same measurement. - [Lily] Okay, and then
Hudson Johnson was asking, "Why are you trimming before you sew?" - [Kimberly] That's how you
do Foundation Paper Piecing. And then, okay, so now
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna turn this over, and sorry, the light is really bright there. But what I do is I'm gonna pull back, so you can't really see the lines. So I pull this back and
there's a line right here between the four and the five. And then there's another one over here. We can do this one at the same time. And I just pull that back. Even if the paper tears, it's fine. Can you see that? There you go. So you can kind of see, it's really shiny. So I don't know if it's too bright. - [Lily] Let me press
something here real quick. - [Kimberly] Lily's gonna
try to help me fix it. Oh, no, there, there. - [Lily] Okay. - [Kimberly] So now we're
gonna go back over here and I've already creased the line. So you put the Add a Quarter, and the reason I like the Add
a Quarter is it has a bump, and it bumps up to where
you need the quarter inch. And so you don't have to
think about your quarter inch. And so you have very little waste. And then you do the same
thing on the other side. And that's what's fun about this block is on the Log Cabin and the Pineapple, you have to start and stop over and over. And this one you can do
two (ruler clattering), oops, two sides at once. So now, I'm just gonna add this. You can actually do these at
the same time, if you want. And then I'm gonna turn it over. And when I sew, I sew really
fast, and I'm just showing you, because this is what I do at home. You obviously don't have to do that. And again, when you're stitching,
you start before and after your intersection about a quarter inch. (machine whirring) (machine whirring) And so then, I'm just gonna use my seam press. And anytime you're working
with a Foundation pad or Triangles on a Roll
or any kind of paper, having a bed, it's hard to see, but this has a bed of a machine, it will keep it so that
everything stays flat. So from here, I'm gonna go
and just pick two corners, it doesn't matter which
one, two opposite corners. Find the line. And trim. Sorry, we only have so much camera space. And the bed's kind of getting in the way, but I wanted the bed so it'd stay flat. So again, you're just gonna trim. And then we will add the last two. Or the first two, I guess. Put that one in, and remember,
right sides together. And on all of our other papers, the Pineapple and the Log Cabin, we do have videos on how to
do those that you can watch. And then this one, we
will do another video that's not a livestream. (machine whirring) (machine whirring) And when you're working with
any kind of paper product, whether it's Triangles
on a Roll or this paper, whatever stitch you normally use, you want to go a tiny bit smaller, so when you pull the paper off, it does not rip the stitches. So if you usually stitch at
a two, you could do a 1.5. I usually stitch at 1.5. So
then I move it to like a 1.25. And some people have said that that's just way too small
for them, and that's okay. You do whatever you wanna do. Okay. So now I've got those. Now I just need to
take, do these last two. I'm gonna just do it here. Sorry, guys. We try to do this perfect. And it's hard. Okay, so here I'm just
gonna press back over here. You just kind of pull your stitches back. And the reason I like to have
this extra stitches right here is so that my stitches
don't unravel under here. So that's just something
that I like to do. So there you go. You've pulled it back on those lines. And I will use my Add a Quarter. I love this Add a Quarter
thing. This saves so much time. The very first time I didn't have one, when I was doing Log
Cabin, and I was like, "Oh no, this takes too long." And I actually had it. I had
just lost it, which is typical. And by the way, I have
not found my fabric. I don't know what in
the world I did with it. - [Lily] Oh no. - [Kimberly] I'm like, "Okay!" Okay, so then I can pin those. And I'm just gonna do
the last two real quick. And then on the last two, you want to stitch off the paper, not off the paper, but off that, a quarter inch away from that line so that you have your seam off the paper. Does that makes sense? Sorry. I'm trying to show it. I'll show it when I'm
done and then you'll see. (machine whirring) (machine whirring) Okay, so here I'm probably
gonna really iron, real quick. Just so that I have it nice
and flat before I trim it. And it's not plugged in. Or it's not on. Okay, so that's fine. There we go. We're about flat. Okay, so now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna move this off the table so that I can really
show you what I'm doing. Okay. So now you would do the same exact method if you did the 12 inch, the
same exact type of technique. So if you look on the back, you can see that there's
lines where it says, "Trim on this line. Do
not trim on this line." And we have that just so
that we make it accurate. Now what I've done is, the
easiest thing for me to do is take a Creative Grids 6-1/2 inch ruler. You could either trim around
or you can do what I do. And I'm gonna kind of, I just put my ruler right
on the edge of those lines. And then I just trim all
four sides at one time. (cutter slicing) I'm kind of far away from
the table, so I'm gonna... (cutter slicing) So there it is. It's perfect. Now I will trim, take my
paper off right after that. And when you stitch with
a really low stitch, it'll come right off. If you want to crease
it first, that helps. So example there I didn't crease. But here, if I crease it,
it's gonna come off faster. So that's up to you. This is a great activity for children. So you could just do this and then have your kids take the paper off. And it just comes off really easy. So, let me show you, let
me get all the paper off, and then I'll show you again, one thing. And I usually go from the outside in, 'cause then that center square
will just rip right off. And then if there's little
pieces, usually at home, I don't have all these little pieces. But when I'm on camera, of course I do. Okay. So there's this. So again, there's different
ways you can do it. Let me iron this. So I'm gonna just kind of show, just different things that I did at home. And I did the whole table runner, all the Stars, and these blocks, I think it was less than four hours. - [Lily] Oh wow! - [Kimberly] So. These are just different
options of what you could do. And then I'm gonna show you, if you wanted to sew
two of these together, for example, if you didn't
want to do my Star option. So this is my Star option. And the reason, I don't know, Lori told me it looked cute, so I did it. It's all Lori's idea. So I just did Economy, Star, Economy. But if you wanted to do all Economy, the best way to do that,
to join them together, is you're gonna have two
points that meet right here. Sometimes you don't want to
just put those together and sew, or they might not match. So what I do is I put
my pin in the very point of the intersection and
then the very point, whoops, I just poked myself. In the very point of this one. And then you just kind
of keep your pin up, just keep it there. And then I usually pin once on each side. And then I would pin at this intersection. And then I would just stitch. And by having those pins there, when you stitch and you open, it should line up. You will have a lot of bulk, because with Foundation Paper Piecing, you have to press all to the outside because of the way the paper works. So you're gonna have a big
bulk here, which is okay. But that pinning will help you. So, yay! So I showed the Economy block. Can we go to the front camera? And then I'm happy to
answer any questions. But I did want to show
you the Star block also. But I'm happy to answer any
questions on the Economy block before I show you the Star block. - [Lily] Yes, we have a lot of questions. about the Economy block. Okay. Give me one sec. From Rebecca White, "Is
the paper easy to remove?" - Yes, and so when we
developed this paper, we did a lot of testing. And so it's a thinner paper. It's not, it's not as
thick as regular paper, or it would be hard to remove. So it's specialty paper made
specifically for this product. - [Lily] From Peggy Rodenburg, "Is this block six inches
finished or unfinished?" - Six and a half unfinished,
six inches finished. And then the 12 would be
12 and a half unfinished, 12 inch finished. And you could mix, you could do Log Cabin with Pineapple with Economy. And when we have all of
these papers released, in a year or two, when we have a bunch, we'll do a big sampler quilt. - [Lily] From Pokey Rella, "So you sew right on the dotted line?" - Okay, so you sew right on
the line, it's not dotted. Can you go to the? Okay, so you sew right on the line. It's not dotted at all. And you just sew directly on the line. You don't worry about a quarter inch seam because on the outside
we account for that. And we tell you, "Do not
trim here, but do trim here." And that's why those words are there. And they're on all four sides, to try to help you not forget. So it's solid lines on this paper. - [Lily] Okay. From Barb Setterdahl, "What
size needle do you prefer?" - So, okay. That's a great
question. I'm so happy you asked. When I'm sewing with
Foundation Paper pads, I like to use a size 90 needle top stitch because it is thicker and it's
gonna pierce that paper more, and easier to pull off. If not, just use a regular one. But after you have done a full,
like if you do a whole pad, you want to change your needle, because stitching on
the paper will dull it faster than if you were
just stitching with fabric. So you would need to change your needle a little bit more frequently. - [Lily] Peyton Jolly
says, "That's my mom." - Hi, Peyton! (chuckling) - [Lily] Hello. Aw.
- Aw, that's my little baby. That's dinosaur, look,
dinosaur, dinosaur, roar, roar! He knows what that means. - [Lily] Oh. (chuckling) - He knows what that means. He loves dinosaurs. - [Lily] Oh my gosh. Question from Lisa McKay. "So the crease is your sewing line?" - Yes. It is your sewing line. - [Lily] From Crow Boo, "No back-talking at
the beginning and end?" - So I don't. What I do instead is
I start a quarter inch away from the intersection
and sew a quarter inch after. You could do the back
stitch and forward stitch, if you wanted to. I think that takes too much time. So I just stitch a little bit
before and a little bit after. And then when I go to the next step, I just have to fold the
paper a little bit more and that's okay. But if you want to do
it that way, you can. - [Lily] Also, lots of people are saying, your top is gorgeous. - Thanks. I have it on because we
have to refilm a video because I totally messed something up. And so I was, it's really funny. So when we're doing the Jelly Snowflake, which I'm gonna show you, or the Jolly Snowflake,
jelly, whatever, after, I don't know, we just
didn't have it together. And that means me. I
didn't have it together. So we have a lot of mistakes,
so we had to redo it. And so I had worn this in all the videos. And so I had to go and make sure that I picked this up
from the cleaners before. So that's the only reason I'm wearing it. But it's fun. It's okay to make mistakes. It's okay to be like, "You know what? "I was just having a bad week." Everybody has a bad week. Everyone has a good week. And sometimes when you just start off bad, it just becomes this whole catastrophe. And that's what that was. And that's okay. We're gonna fix it today. - [Lily] Yes, magic of editing. - And thank you to the customer
who saw it on livestream and emailed and said, "I
think that block is wrong." Because we had filmed the whole thing and nobody had noticed. - [Lily] Yep. Not one. - And we would have released that and I would have got slammed. And I would have probably
cried in my bed reading that. - [Lily] Okay. So we have a
question from Annette Hillison, "On other paper piecing,
you don't have to cut "the shape out ahead of time. "Can you do that with this one?" Where you, since you had
cut out like the triangles, on other paper piecing,
sometimes you just use a random scrap and--
- Oh, you can. So what I did, I will
tell you on this one, on this one, I had
already made all the rest. And so I didn't have full squares that I could cut on the diagonal. So I actually just threw
scraps on this outside edge just to use what I had left over. So you can definitely do that. The cutting in all of the pads is just a, like a guide to get you going, but you can do whatever you want. And that's the way that
I was able to use all of, basically I used everything in this except one or two squares. But the whole point of this is you can use anything that you have in your house. I just grabbed one of these 'cause I thought it would match my sewing room. And so it would look really
good, also, this is... six by two, but I think this would look
really good eight by two. But my table is six by two. So you have enough fabric
in this to do eight by two, but my little thread cabinet,
this fits almost perfectly. - [Lily] Okay, from Sia Joy, "Good morning from Connecticut. "Quick question, can you use
your lovely packing paper "for paper piecing? "I hate to throw it away. It's so nice." - No, that is way too thick. So that packing paper is, it comes, it's from recycled paper. And it is very thick. And anytime you do any
kind of paper piecing that's Foundation Paper Piecing,
you want to use thin paper. So like a typewriter paper, like if you went to
Office Depot or something. You would want the typewriter
paper 'cause it's thinner. I would use that maybe as a stuffing for your Christmas gifts instead. - [Lily] Okay. From Rhonda W., "Will you still carry "the Cupcake and Cake Recipe papers?" - Yes. Yes. I love those. And so the Cupcake and the Cake Mix, those are from Moda Fabrics. We have lots of videos on how to use those with Carrie Nelson, who works at Moda. And those are to use either
Layer Cakes or Charm Packs, and they do a different
assortment of blocks. So they're totally different because they, you can make different things with them. This is just one block. Ours is more of a block concept where theirs is more of a quilt concept. - [Lily] Okay. From Pat Schmidt, "How
big would the quilt be "if you've used one package
of the six inch block papers." - Okay. Hold on. So six inch, the closest we could get is, if you did the biggest, the biggest, okay, so if you did a crib, that would be six blocks by six blocks,
it would use 36 squares. So you would have some leftover, and that would give you a
36 and a half inch square. And so that's why this is
great, because it will show you exactly, so you don't have to think. - [Lily] From Hudson
Johnson, oh, they say, "I am on my son's Facebook. "The reason with doing it with the papers, "because it's more precise and easier? "Sorry. I've never seen this before." - Yes. So Foundation Paper Piecing
is just so you can have more accuracy and you can go faster. You can see how fast
I sewed on my machine. And when you're working
with an Economy block, I will tell you, and
I've always said this, my least favorite block
is a square in a square. And I have some square in a
square blocks to do at home. And I keep putting them
off because you're just, I just feel like I can
never get the points right on the edge because it
all becomes bias out here. So Foundation Paper is just an option. Now you could do it the traditional way. This is just a way for us to
do things a little bit faster. It uses scraps. So yeah, it's just, but I do struggle with any kind of block that has corner squares on the outside. And so this is just an idea
that Lori had to do hers. And remember on this 12 inch, on the 12 inch here, you can
either do the center this way, or, sorry, this whole
thing could be one fabric. So on the back, sorry we have lights, so you can see there's darker lines here. And those darker lines
are so if you just wanted to put one big fabric and fussy cut it so that it would be just
like this, with one fabric. So this has two options. - [Lily] Okay. Question from Nikki Young Ledbetter, "Is EPP different from Foundation pieces?" - Totally different. So English paper piecing is something that we have lots of
videos on by Tula Pink and Jen Kingwell on our channel
and you can check those out. And we will be doing some
English Paper Piecing in a Stitchery Sampler
Sew Along in the fall. And so that will be fun. But this is Foundation Paper Piecing. And I learned how to do it
from "Simply Quilts" TV show, like 20 years ago, from Alex Anderson. - [Lily] That's cool. Okay. From Tammy Eckelbarger,
"Yesterday, I was watching Kimberly "and she commented she had a fresh blade "in her rotary cutter, but
she called it something else. "What kind of blade does she use?" - Okay, so I use an Endurance blade. Let me see, we have them right here. So I use this Endurance blade, and it says it cuts twice as long. I actually, when this product,
I'm gonna be totally honest, when this product came out, I thought, "Oh, they're just trying
to get more money." 'Cause it's really expensive. So I didn't buy one, 'cause I thought, "No, I don't need that." And then I got one in my Sew Sampler Box, and I used it and it is totally different. It is like a different product. So it just, you can cut longer with it. And I kinda, I will use my rotary blades
'cause they're expensive until they completely, I either go over, like nick on a ruler or mess
it up to where I can't use it. So I am really bad about
changing my rotary blade. And the reason why is
they're really expensive. And one question I do
get a lot is people say, there's those rotary blade sharpeners, and people have asked me, and I just, first of all I think I would hurt myself, or I know I would hurt
myself with one of those. But the reviews that I have seen from people doing it are not great. So that's also an option. I'm hoping that one day
they make one that's great so that I can save money. 'Cause the Endurance
blades are, they're just, I don't know if it's
like sharper or thinner, or it just cuts faster, more layers also. - [Lily] From Teresa, "What size is the center
square of the 12 inch block?" - Okay. So the brown is three inches, just, the brown three inches, just
like the six inch paper, because that's basically
the six inch paper inside the 12 inch paper. - [Lily] Oh, magic. - Yes. And then the green would be six, which would be six and a half. And of course, when we
tell you what to cut, we give you a little bit bigger, because when you're doing
Foundation Paper Piecing, if you did the exact same size, when you put it on your machine, it might shift too much
and then you become short. So there is some, like
a quarter inch waste. And that's just because
if you didn't do that, you would get frustrated with the paper. - [Lily] From R. Allenman, "Does cutting the paper dull
the rotary blades faster?" - Yes. - [Lily] Yes, but for these, you only cut at the end of the block, right? - Yeah. You only cut at
the end, and I, yeah. I would kind of do, like what
I did when I made this at home is I did all of my Foundation Paper, and then I did all of
my Stars at one time. But I haven't changed my
blade, even after I made those, I still have the same blade on. - [Lily] From Charlotte Walker, "Have you ever used a light box in FPP? "And are there any real benefits to this?" - Yeah, it would definitely help, because you could see that line through. I don't own a light box. I think it'd be great. I just don't want to
spend the money on it. - [Lily] Yeah, I know some people just hold it up to the light too. And that works fine. We've got several people asking when we are gonna have
Lori Holt as a guest? - Well, right now we can't
because we can't go anywhere and she can't come here. She was gonna come in about two weeks, but that all got canceled. She will be a guest when
life goes back to normal. - [Lily] Yeah, but if
you need a Lori Holt fix, she does have a YouTube channel now. - Yes, YouTube channel,
it's called "Lori Holt", and there's something, oh yeah, so she has lots of videos. She comes out with videos every Friday. And I will show you next
week on the Flosstube, what she made on the previous one. But she's filming it today.
So I can't show you yet. - [Lily] Oh, so exciting. But yes, I love her videos. - And she shows you like different things, like how to paint or how to do a banner. It's not just quilting.
It's really crafting. And so it's a way to
also be able to utilize, Lori's motto is to use it all up. So, if you have leftovers,
you can make a banner. You can, all kinds of things. And different things that you haven't seen on other channels, which is great, because she's got her
own original content. - [Lily] Yeah, it's like
the Lori Holt variety show. I love it. - Variety show. (chuckling) - [Lily] Yeah. It's a variety of crafts. - Oh, I see, I see. I was like, I didn't understand. - [Lily] Oh, sorry. (chuckling) She does it all. Okay. - I thought you meant, I
thought variety meant something like drama or something, I
thought it meant, never mind. - [Lily] Oh no. A variety show is usually
like where they just do a variety of different skits and comedy and different things. - Okay yeah, that's what, I get it now.
- Yeah. Okay. So funny comments from Gwen Smith. "I need to hire some
kids to tear the papers." Maureen Mullarkey also said, "For children or retired
husbands", that paper tearing part. - Yes. Yes.
- That's hilarious. - Yes, so I bargain, Peyton's listening, but I bargain with him to either, they either walk the dog, tear the paper, vacuum the house, do the dishes, and then they get like a
dollar or two on their iPad. Because right now, honestly,
there's not much to do. We are gonna try, well, we, my daughter's gonna first
try Diamond paining today, to see if she likes it, She's the oldest one,
and then if she likes it, maybe the boys can try it, and if they like it, they can try it. I'm not sure how it's gonna go. I'm a little bit nervous about that. But they're bored. They got nothing to do. - [Lily] From Melissa Reynolds, "The Economy blocks look
like a wonderful way "to use up some of my massive stash. "Would you kindly provide
any recommendations "on how to choose fabrics that
will create a cohesive look?" - So I would say if you, if the fabrics all play well together, you could just do Scrappy. Because that's the easiest. You don't have to think. You just throw it together. And you could do all dark
or all medium or all light. I would say, if you're
doing something like this, you just want to make sure
there's enough contrast. So if it's Scrappy, I
think it can be whatever. But if you want contrast,
I would just make sure your fabrics between the two contrast. Like for example, this one,
you could put all different. So that's why I did a
bunch of different blocks just so you could see. And I would come of just
start with one and see, do you like it? Do you like the way it looks?
And then just keep going. 'Cause I think this would be really cute if it was all Scrappy on the outside also. I like this one too. I just did a bunch of
different things on Tuesday just to kind of prepare for livestream and had fun doing it. - [Lily] From Sewing Becca, "How are you planning to
finish your table runner? "Borders or just bind?" - Okay, so on this one, this fits perfectly on my table runner. It's about a half inch too long and about one inch too short on the width. So on this, I am going to
mail this to Gina Tell today. We've already picked the pantograph. Actually, Gina, I'm not
gonna mail it today, 'cause I forgot the backing. Yeah, forgot the backing. So, and the binding, but yeah, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna send it to her. But I was thinking about adding borders. To me, it all depends on your table, what table you're gonna put it on. So that's kinda what I
did is, at first I thought it was gonna have borders. But then when I put it on
the table, it looked fine. So that's kinda what I did is, and I even thought about, 'cause you have enough to
make eight instead of six. So I thought, well,
let me put it on there. See if I like it. And
then if it looked funny, I could add the eight
and it could hang off. So it's kind of one of those things where, just do it as you go and
just be flexible enough to change it if you don't like it. - [Lily] Okay. From Sandi Shorter, she says, "You said you needed to
redo the other video. "Some of us have started that
block and are now concerned." - Oh, no, it's the last video. - [Lily] Yeah, you guys
haven't seen it yet. - No sorry. - [Lily] It still part of the mystery. - I shouldn't even have talked about it. But yeah, no, it's a future video. - [Lily] Yeah. No. So everything we've released
is totally accurate. - Yeah. And so what we do is we film
everything kind of all at once. So we'll do, it's really hard for me to do more than two or three
videos a day because, I think it's kind of like one of those, your brain gets overwhelmed
and you start getting like, it's like a short circuit. It's like, your computer
just starts frying. So we do two a day. And so we kind of filmed
them two, two, two. - [Lily] Yes yes. Okay, and we do have lots of Super Chats that came in during the demonstration and lots of new members, so I'm
gonna go down the list here. - Okay, and then as you're doing that, I am going to kind of get
ready for the next set. - [Lily] Perfect. All right. So we have a new member Denise Slater. Welcome, Denise. Yay. There was a members only livestream we did earlier this week on Wednesday, that's available for anyone new and old if you joined our membership to watch. New member Greg Borden-Neary. Welcome, Greg.
- Thank you. - [Lily] All right. And then we had a couple of Super Chats here. First one was from Pye
Nygren for 22.00, NOK. - Oh my goodness. - [Lily] Thank you, Pye. - Y'all are like, all,
NOK, you always donate. - [Lily] Yeah. I think
it's always Pye too. So thank you for your generosity. And they put a pair, that's, okay, I'm just seeing the still, but it looks like it's
twerking a little bit, but it says cool. I don't think it's
actually twerking though. Another one from Pye for 22.00 NOK. And they say, "Courthouse Step
is my favorite block." Yay. - Yeah, I'm excited about that paper. And it's actually already at the proofer. So it won't take too much longer. - [Lily] And then we had a Super Chat from April N. for 4.99. And they say, "Kimberly,
your videos are the best. "Thank you so much for them." And they put two smiley faces. - Thank you. - [Lily] Thanks, April. Another one from Pye here for 55.00 NOK. And Pye says, "How many patterns
on paper do you have now? "I'd like to try different blocks." - Three. So we have the Log
Cabin, Pineapple, and Economy. And we have all of those in six and 12. So that would be three styles,
two sizes each, six total. We'll be adding the Courthouse Steps. And then we have some
other ones after that that we will be adding. - [Lily] All right. And $20 Super Chat from Barbara Setterdahl. Barbara gave us $20.
- Thank you. - [Lily] Thank you. And then we had a new YouTube
member, Gabriel Fuentes. Welcome, Gabriel. - Thank you. - [Lily] Yay. And then we had a very generous Super Chat from Crafts for Others for 99.99. - Oh my goodness. - [Lily] And they say,
"Being a young widow, "your videos gave me something
to look forward to each week. "Thanks so much." Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. - Thank you. I'm so sorry for your loss. - Yeah. For your loss.
I'm sorry about that. And thank you so much for
the ginormous Super Chat. That's super generous. I can't even thank you enough. From Kathy Brock, Super Chat for 14.99. Thank you, Kathy. - Thank you. - [Lily] All right. And then
a quick word from Lori here. Lori Holt said that "She
chose the Economy block "because normally it's a
hard block to sew accurately "because of all the bias. "But paper piecing this block,
it's perfect every time." - And it's really hard when
you're doing the Economy block to get these little points
on the outside accurate. And mine are never accurate. So it's gonna give you
really nice results. - [Lily] Okay. A sweet comment from Caroline Alexander, "Kimberly was born to do demonstration. "She could be a hand model." - Oh, that's funny. Thanks. - [Lily] And then
question from Karen Sharp, "For the white background,
do you use yardage?" - Yes. So on that I probably
use like half a yard. I just used it from my stash. And I use, this is the
Vintage Happy collection, so I even have this leftover. So yeah, I just pull from my stash. Okay, so we're gonna go to the top camera. I'm gonna try not to confuse you here. I'm gonna try. Okay. So on the Stars,
this is a Simple Star. Lori gave me this idea,
and you can either do the star like this, or you
could do a star like this, where it's all one color. And so when you're using your Layer Cake, you can either use your
Layer Cake to make both or one Layer Cake would
be for the outside here and the inside and vice versa. So there's two different ways to make it. Well, there's three different
ways you can make it, but this is just fabric options. So you could make your whole thing with everything just like this. You can go to the Farm Girl Vintage book. I'm gonna, this is the Simple Star page, and you could piece the
block just like this. So most of you already have
the Form Girl Vintage book. And you could piece just like
this with your Layer Cake. I'm gonna do mine slightly different because I just want to
show you what I do at home. So the center square is
three and a half inches. And these outer squares
are one and a half inches. No, they're not, they're two inches. So these are two inches and
three and a half inches. So that all stays the same. I'm gonna put these aside
and I am going to show you how I do Flying Geese. And I have my cheat book. This is my favorite little book. It has all the fabric we
buy, everything in it. But I'm gonna show you, I'm
not gonna do the whole block, but I am gonna show you
how I do Flying Geese. So Eleanor Burns. I met her, I think it was 19 years
ago, at a Paducah show. And she did a demo on this ruler. And I thought it was great. And ever since then I've been doing the Flying Geese this way. So she has a small Flying Geese ruler that makes three by six and
one and a half by three. And then she has a large Flying Geese that makes different sizes. So what you do is you cut your fabric according to the pattern and
we're making the smaller one, the one and a half by three. And inside, she has
instructions on what you cut. So you don't want to
throw this paper away. You always want to keep
this paper with your ruler. So I've already cut according to that. So what I will do is put the fabrics, sorry, right sides together. And then there's this brand
new Creative Grids ruler, do you know what it's called? I don't even know what it's called. Seam guide or something. We put a link in it below. - [Lily] Yes, Ashley, if
you could help us out here. - [Kimberly] Ashley, please
help me out with the name. So I like, I love this thing. And the reason why is it
grips so it doesn't move. And I mark both sides. There's a short one and a long one. This one is C-G-R-S-M-N-9. And I love this. I have both of them. So what I'm gonna do is put
this on my sewing machine and we're just gonna sew
directly on that line. And you can just sew really fast. (machine whirring) (machine whirring) And then you cut in between. And I just use this little ruler to cut. You're probably shouldn't, it's
kind of dangerous, but I do. And I'm gonna press towards
the yellow real quick. I'm gonna just do it with my seam presser. This thing is awesome. It's giving my little, I have
a glass, that's not glass, it's like plexiglass, on my table. It's giving it a run for its money. So you do that. You press whichever, I
like to press toward the... The dark, this point, whatever this is, if this is light or dark, so whatever this print is going to be. And then you put these together. And when you put these together, you put them right sides together with the fabrics on the opposite side. And you're gonna have this weird thing going on in the center. It's not gonna match like this. Like it's not supposed to be like this. It's supposed to be just like this. And it feels weird,
but, and it doesn't even have to be on there exact,
it's not like exact. - [Lily] And Ashley's letting us know, it's the Creative Grids
Nine Inch Seam Guide. - [Kimberly] Thank you. And there's a bigger
one too, a longer one. But yes, thank you,
because I forgot that I, this is brand new. It came out about a month
ago and it is crazy. I've used it a million times. - [Lily] And Lori says
that you're scaring her using that skinny ruler to cut, Kimberley. - [Kimberly] I know,
you shouldn't, but I do. And I have been. (chuckling) Okay. So here we go. So here I'm gonna sew this. (machine whirring) (machine whirring) And then I am going to
use the correct ruler. Okay. Now, in here you have two Flying Geese, one on each side. What I do is in between the seams, so there's a seam here
and there's a seam here. I'm gonna clip right in the
center between that seam. And I'm gonna show you why. If you are pressing open you
would not have to do that. And I'm gonna show you why. So the first thing I do
is I'm gonna set my seam so that the friction
pen lines will go away. And so I want to press towards the yellow. So on one side I'm gonna
press towards the yellow, turn it over, and then this
one's gonna go the other way. And when we trim, that's gonna go away, and I'm gonna show you that. So you do both the same way. You put your ruler right on there. And that's why I didn't
have to be so accurate when I was sewing, because
I'm gonna trim around. So I will trim three sides, making sure when you trim here you don't go too far
into this Flying Geese. Actually, I didn't get that very good. Let's see. It's hard to cut when I'm so
far away from the table, sorry. You're gonna have to see
my hair for a little bit. So you cut three sides and then flip it. And then you use this line. And I use this on all Flying Geese. This is how I make all my Flying Geese. So when I get a pattern,
whether it's a Sew Emma pattern, any kind of pattern, any manufacturer, any, I just convert it and figure it out. after years and years of doing it. And then I do mine this way. And from two squares, you
get four Flying Geese. So from here you would get four, you would get two here and two here from two pieces of fabric. So you waste way less fabric
and it's always super accurate. You would just need to look on the website what sizes are available
in the small and the large. And then from there you would just piece it
into your block like normal. I don't need to show you all that. But you would just
piece it in like normal. And so here it is, let's see. - [Lily] That was pretty magical to watch. - Yeah. So it's really fast. That's how I got it all done in one day. So when I tell you guys that
I sew at home, and I do, can you go to the front? - [Lily] Oh yeah. - Sorry. So when I tell you guys,
when I'm sewing at home, I'll do anything I can to save time. And so this is one of the
things that I do to save time. is this ruler. Yeah, love this ruler. So again, here is my table runner. Lori gave me the idea. It's so cute. And on the back, I will show you what I'm
gonna put on the back. I'll open this one and show you, 'cause I forgot to bring it. It's in my shower. It's in my shower. (chuckling) It's in my shower still. What do you call that? - [Lily] Starching? - Starching, drying from Tuesday. So it's definitely dry by now. - [Lily] So it lots of hanging
out in the shower by itself. - It's just hanging out in the shower. Hold on. I gotta get this off. There, this is the one on the very bottom. That's what I'm using for the back. And because I think it'd be fun if this, and I'm not even gonna put a label in it, because I just want it to
be flat just like this. And then that way I can turn it over. and I will have a reversible table runner. - Ah.
- Yup. And so not even putting a label on it, because I want to be
able to use it both ways. And I always put a label on everything. But sometimes you have to improvise. And this is gonna go in my sewing room. So I'm not gonna give it away. So it doesn't have to have a label. - [Lily] Yeah. All right. About the, a question
about the Economy block, from Suzanne McCallon, "When will you do the tutorial on this? "Or will Lori do on on her channel?" - So I was gonna film one today. It will be available in a week or two. We still have to edit it. It
takes a long time to edit. So, and that's gonna be a long video. So I would say two weeks
for sure. Maybe one week. - [Lily] Mm hm. Okay. From Annette Hillison, "Do you starch these before
you make paper foundations?" - I did. I always starch. - [Lily] And then Gina Tell
from Thread Graffiti says, "I'll be ready when you are. "Thanks." - Oh my gosh, text me
tonight to not forget. I probably won't, because
yesterday I was thinking all day, "I need to go get that backing fabric. "I need to go get that backing
fabric. I need to go get it." 'Cause I was cross stitching all day, because on Tuesday I did
the quilt and I was like, "I need to go get the backing fabric. "I need to go get the binding." And I never did. - Aw, she also says--
- But I will feel bad. - [Lily] "Hope y'all have
a great holiday weekend. "Stay safe." Thanks, Gina.
- Thank you. Yeah. We're not gonna do anything. We're just gonna stay home. There's no fireworks in Austin. Sometimes they do them. There's a mall right by
us, and the mall does them. And we usually watch
those from our backyard. So we're not sure if
they're gonna do them, but if they do, we'll walk
outside and watch them. But we're not going anywhere.
We're not doing anything. We're just staying home. - [Lily] Yeah. Teresa also had a very
sweet comment for Ashley. She said, "Ashley is a great
behind the scenes hero." - Yes. - [Lily] Ashley is the
behind the scenes hero. - And she peeked her head
in a couple of weeks ago. - [Lily] Yeah. Okay. And then from Virginia Bouvier, who very kindly told me
how to pronounce her name by putting a little ghost. - It's like John F. Kennedy's wife. - [Lily] Bouvier, oh yeah. - Yeah. - [Lily] Yeah. You're right. It's from Virginia, she
says, "Hi, Kimberly. "Can you please tell me
what tea drink you order "when you go to Starbucks? "I would like to try it. Thank you." - Oh my goodness. Okay. Black tea, no sugar, extra ice, no water. And I'm super picky about my ice. And so if they don't give me enough ice, I won't finish it as fast. I will finish it, but not as fast. So like last night, I
went to Starbucks at 8:15, 'cause that's the latest
you can order on the mobile. And I was like, "I need tea." And so Emma and I went to Starbucks. But there's one that's
really close to the house. And there's one that's 15 minutes. And I've been going to the
one that's 15 minutes away because they do my tea right. The one closer to my house doesn't, and I don't want to be that Karen that's like, did-un-ee, it's just tea. Like I don't need to
complain about the ice. But I just feel like they, and
then the one right by work, there's two by work, one does
it right and one doesn't. So I drive whatever way they're
gonna make my tea right. And one thing that's pretty interesting that I learned recently,
I told Lily about this. We did, we met with the dietician about different eating plans
and stuff for our family. And I kept telling the lady,
'cause it was like all of us, and I was talking about
how certain things, and she was like looking at me. And so she handed all of
us these little slips, they're like little litmus papers that you would get in
science class in 3rd grade. And she was like, "Taste it." And I was like, "Oh my God!" I tasted it, and I was
like, "That's disgusting." And Kevin was looking at me
like, "It tastes like water." And like the other kids,
"It tastes like water." So for me, and she said,
"Okay, that's what's wrong. "You are a supertaster." So she was like, "Do you like green tea?" And I said, "No, I hate it." She goes, "Yeah, that's why." And so she was explaining
to me why certain foods and why I'm so picky. And she was like, "Can you
tell the difference in water?" And I said, "Yeah, that's
why I don't drink water. "And I only drink one brand of water, "'cause some of it tastes funny. And then she was like, "Well, that's why. And so I told Kevin, I was
like, "Ha ha. That's why." Now I have an excuse because
I'm super picky about like, not so much food, but definitely liquids. And so then it was really
fun, 'cause that night, I was looking up what
supertaster is and all that. But I wish I knew that 30 years ago because I am so picky and
Kevin has made fun of me all these years and now he
cannot make fun of me anymore because the lady was like, well, this, she explained a lot of things about how green tea and
broccoli and asparagus, they have certain enzymes,
and if you're a supertaster, anyway, if you're a supertaster, it tastes much more strong
to you than other people. And if you're not a supertaster,
all water tastes the same. But if you're a supertaster, different things tastes different and certain things you're just like, you have an adverse, 'cause
it's more bitter to you than if you're not a supertaster. Sorry. - [Lily] No, you're good. Gabriel had the same
question and comment I had. He says, "What about your
two packets of honey?" - Oh yes. Stopped. 'Cause I'm getting chubby.
No, I stopped the honey. I stopped the honey. I stopped the honey. - [Lily] Oh, stopped honey? - Yeah. - [Lily] Okay, Lauren Milner was asking, "What iron are you using?" - This is an Oliso Itouch. We just are about to get
another shipment of these in. And it pops up, and I
use this at home also. I use the yellow one at home. I think they're all the same, but it pops up, and so I don't have to, you don't ever want to
lift this if you own this, I'll give you a tip, don't
ever put it on its back, because once you do it,
it almost ruins the iron. I don't know what it is about it. So I get really mad when
people come to my house and they think the irons
there and they touch it. I'm like, "Don't touch my iron!" - [Lily] Yeah. - But it pops up and down
and it will save your wrist. If you're sewing, like
for example, eight hours, it will save your wrist the rotation, which can cause carpal tunnel. And that's why I like it,
because it stays, less movement. - [Lily] Yes. Also from Lauren Milner, "If I use the 12 inch Foundation Paper, "would I order a Layer Cake
or a Petite Layer Cake?" - Oh, let me see. - [Lily] I think it depends
on how many you want to make? - You would definitely want
to, you would want a big, you would want a full Layer Cake. And all the pieces are
Layer Cake friendly, and this one they're
not Charm Pack friendly. But definitely a full Layer Cake, 'cause they're gonna be bigger pieces. And so with the six inch I'm able to, from each Layer Cake, make two blocks. From this one you'd only
be able to make one. And you might have to, You might, if you wanted your
outside points to be the same, you would probably have to
buy two matching Layer Cakes, or it would need to be Scrappy, just because the pieces are
much bigger on the outside. - [Lily] From Katrina E., "Could you do a video on
how to convert patterns "to use Triangles on a Roll
and other special products?" - So we do have a Triangles
on a Roll conversion chart. and so Ashley can link it
and that will help you. And it will tell you, if your pattern calls for a
two by four, follow this one, use this paper, or sorry, two by two. So we do have that. So
I would start there. - [Lily] Last question
about Starbucks here. A lot of people are asking,
"How do you get black tea "without adding water to it?" Since you said you don't add water. - Okay. So that is something
that somebody who works here, Cody taught me, she said,
"Just, next time you go get tea, "ask for no water." And I said, "It doesn't make sense." But it does if you watch them. So when you go to get
tea, they will put tea, and then they will put water. So it waters it down
so it's not as strong. And so it's like, I don't know, Gabriel works at Starbucks
so he could answer, but it's like a conversion, like so much tea to so much water. But I like my tea super-strong. And I drink so much tea, guys, that if I, if I don't have a tea within
like four or five hours of each other, I'll
start getting a headache. It's really bad. I need
to get off caffeine. But I'm not. 'Cause when we went to the
dietician, the lady was like, "Okay, everybody needs
to get off caffeine." I was like, "That's great. "Everyone in this family can
get off caffeine, but I'm not." I was like, "Y'all can, but I'm not." And they were like, "That's not fair." And I was like, "Well I do pay the bills." - [Lily] That's funny. But yeah, so I think
the tea is concentrated? - Yeah, it's just very strong. - [Lily] Okay. And then we have a couple
of new YouTube members. We had Jennifer Bon, sorry, Bonynge. Let me know if I pronounced
that right or wrong. Welcome, Jennifer.
- Thank you. - [Lily] And then we have
another new YouTube member, Karen Dougan. Welcome, Karen. Yay!
- Thank you. - [Lily] And then we did get a
Super Chat from Gabriel here. Gabriel Fuentes, for $1.99 and he says, "Just get an extra cup ice on the side." - Thanks. You know, I do do that. If they don't give me
enough ice, sometimes. I just really feel bad asking. 'Cause to me it's like, it's just a tea. I don't have to be so picky. But I'm so picky about my
tea. I think I'm ridiculous. But it's just the one thing. I think it's like my one
escape right now, especially. It's just like, "Can I just have my tea?" (chuckling) So, okay. So I'm gonna show you a
couple of other things. We're already at the hour limit, so I'm gonna just show
you a couple more things. This week we started
our Jolly Bar Row Along. And so it is going to make this quilt. And you need the Jolly Bar book to do it. And I'm gonna show you the quilt I made, and I made it a really,
really long time ago. So this week we did the
top row and the bottom row. - [Lily] Yes, we did a
top row and bottom row. - Sorry, I couldn't, and then my backing. This is how I did my backing. - [Lily] Ooh! - With my name in the center. So here I'll show you,
here, do the upper camera. So on this quilt you actually do not have very much leftover from your Jolly Bar. So I took these leftover
from corner squares when I did right here. When I did the Spool blocks, when I cut that off of the edge, I saved those pieces and
turned them into Hour Glass and trimmed them down
and used this as the row. Because you don't have a
lot of scraps leftover. So that's what I did for my backing. So that is going on.
That started this week. And then I'm just gonna
show you some blocks from other people. So these are, I'm gonna do it
on the table, how 'bout that? - [Lily] Sorry, there we go. - [Kimberly] So this is Harvest Road. And Carrie made these. - [Lily] Ooh! - [Kimberly] This is by Layla Boutique. It's pretty, right? I
love this collection. It goes really good with Folktale, also. - [Lily] Those are very
pretty, oh my gosh. - [Kimberly] Yeah, very pretty. - [Kimberly] So that is, let me move this off and
that would make it easier. Okay, the next one I'll
show prettier. Sorry. So that's one option. And we show you all of this so that you can kind of just see
what's available out there and what kind of look you're going for. This one is Catalina.
And Nancy made this one. And you can see on hers, she
did all different fabrics, where Carrie did duplicates of fabric. So you can kind of play
and see what you like best. And so on Carrie's, her top row and bottom row probably match. And so what Nancy did is she
did too aqua, two yellow, two Navy, two red, two
green, two light blue, with Catalina by Fig Tree. And then this one is Terry's. And this is Harper's Garden. And this is one of her rows. And this is, the SKU is
9900-131, and it's a Bella Solid. So hers is gonna be fun and bright. And when you download,
you can download this, and this tells you how many
blocks you're gonna make, what page number to go to, the
size, and then what to cut. And of course it doesn't
have the sizes to cut 'cause you refer to the book, but this is how you're gonna
follow along each week. So we have that. If y'all have any questions
on the Jolly bar Row Along, let me know. A Jolly Bar is a five by
10 inch cut of fabric. And it's called Jolly Bar,
'cause my last name is Jolly. - [Lily] Yay. We had a question from Shari Wallin, "Is it possible to use
the Flying Geese method "that you just showed on
the Sparrow Tracks blocks " in the Jolly Bar Row Along?" - You cannot because the
Jolly Bar is not big enough. So you have to have those
big squares to start with. So what you would do at that point is you would look at your
instructions from your ruler, which I don't have right in front of me. And you look and see, and
if it fits, you can do it. If it doesn't, you don't, you can't. So I'm gonna show you one
other thing before we, a couple of other things, but this one, I'm just gonna show you. I've already kind of showed you these. This is our Jelly Snowflake. I'm just gonna show you this one today. This one is every Thursday of
the week of the month of July. We're gonna be showing a section. So this is the first section.
This first video is out. It's a completely free pattern. You can use any Jelly Roll. And we encourage you to use your stash. And so this is how it's
going to be laid out. And you can download this for free. And then I have two
more things to show you. So this is a video that we
released earlier this week. It is called 4th of July
Quilt As You Go Mini. It's not a pattern, but
it's a video tutorial, because it works much
better as a video tutorial, rather than a paper pattern. And this would be great if you wanted to make something for July 4th. So you quilt as you go. So you can see there's
no quilting on the top because you have quilted, you have quilted it as you sewed. So that's new. - [Lily] Yeah, Kathrene
Bryant actually says that "She did this mini flag quilt yesterday, "and it was so fun and easy. "It's her first quilt as you go. "Thank you, Kimberly." Thank you. - Yeah, it's fun. And I like that this one is achievable. Sometimes the Quilt As You Go can be hard, And it ends up 13 by 22. The quilt behind me is
also a free pattern. This is the free pattern you can download from Fat Quarter Shop. It is
Quilts of Valor appropriate. So if you are looking to
donate to Quilts of Valor, you can make this quilt and
send it in to Quilts of Valor, and it fits their guidelines. So Quilts of Valor, you should look it up. It's a great program. They
give quilts to Veterans. And they have certain size requirements so that the quilts will be appropriate if somebody is in a wheelchair. So this one finishes 63 by 84. So we have that. And then THE last thing to show you today is we got the brand new Prim
Aurfil 50 weight box in. It's, oh, sorry. It's so pretty. So I'm
taking this one home today. I love it. So that's what I have
for you guys this week. I am happy to answer any questions. I'm so sorry that it
took longer than an hour. I just had a lot of stuff. Next week I am gonna be showing you the Stitchery Sampler quilt,
that Joanna Figueroa designed, and we're gonna be doing
a Sew Along with it, but I'm borrowing her quilt. And I'm gonna show you that next week and kind of talk about all
the different things with it. - [Lily] Mm hm. I just want to give a quick
shout out to Marlene Manley. She very kindly sent us
this, it's back there. Since we always use
confetti cannons on here, she sells it at Hobby Lobby.
It says "Cue the confetti!" And it's amazing. I love it.
- Yeah. So we're gonna try to have it on the set, because then it goes with Lily's confetti. - [Lily] Yeah, it's part of
our Fat Quarter Shop livestream goodness, we love it. Okay. So question from Teresa, "Is there a way I could buy "a Block of the Month for a friend?" - Yes. So when you sign up,
you would just put bill to you, and then ship to your friend. And then whatever email address you put in is what's gonna get the
shipping notification. So if you want the shipping notification, that would be the email, et cetera. If you want her to have it,
you would put her email in. - [Lily] Mm hm. Okay. From Sharon Berkemeyer, "How
big is that Jolly Bar quilt?" - Can you scroll back up? (woman speaking faintly) I don't know. Let me see. Yes I do. 51 by 56. - [Lily] Yay! - Yay! - [Lily] And then from Sue Cleek "Does this year's Designer
Mystery come in a nice box?" - The Finishing does and it
will ship with month two. We haven't, we are working on
designing 2021's right now. We meaning Jocelyn, not me. I've designed a couple of them, but Jocelyn does most of them. - [Lily] From Amanda
Edens will there be videos for Stitchery Sampler? - No. Now, it's Joanna's pattern,
so she might have some stuff. I don't think she's planning on a video. And a lot of times we
will have guests come in and do a bunch of videos for us. And obviously right now there's no, I haven't seen a sales rep since March. So we have a no visitor policy. So it applies to that too. - [Lily] Yeah. From Amy Cowan Walden, "How
does a Sew Along work?" - So a Sew Along works
where we break it up for you into different sections each week. You can obviously follow that
or do it however you want, but we release different
sections each week. And the reason that
Sew Alongs are popular, and the reason that I like them, is it gives you a little
bit to do each week. So a little bit to look forward to. and then you can take a
break before the next week. And it's just a little
bit, so if you get behind, you can catch up the next week. And it just kind of breaks
the quilts up for you so that you actually finish. 'Cause a lot of times we
start and we don't finish. So it kind of sets goals for you. - [Lily] Also, lots of
people are wondering if you have found your fabric yet? - I have not found my fabric.
I have no idea where it is. I keep looking around this room
thinking I brought it here, but I don't know where it is. And I sewed all day Tuesday,
and last night I was sewing. I did a little bit of sewing last night and I didn't, I have not found it. - [Lily] Okay. Priscilla Martin says, "The
Prim box you just showed "is not the one she got in her Prim kit. "Does she need to get this box as well?" - No. So the Prim Aurfil
box is for cross-stitch. This is 50 weight, which is for quilting and piecing and applique. - [Lily] Okay. Okay. And then a few food
comments, questions here. From Diana G., "A quick question. "Since you are a supertaster,
do you like cilantro?" - No, I hate it. Like if it's, or pico de
gallo, if it's on my food, and also spicy stuff, jalapenos, I can't. So the other day we went to the pool, and our pool has where you can order food. And so they just have like
a couple of options, right? Like hotdog, hamburger,
tacos, because it's just, whatever, it's just the pool. So I got the tacos 'cause I thought, well, I don't want a hamburger
and I don't want a hotdog. And I only ate one of them. And my mouth was burning
the rest of the day. And I was like, "Kevin, do
you want the other one?" (chuckling) Because it just, it had cilantro in it. - [Lily] Yeah. And then the other one was a very interesting fact
from Cindy Greggs-Ecker. She says, "Kimberly, my
massage therapist said "that honey will make you
fatter when put in a cold drink, "but it will help with weight loss "when you use it in a hot drink. "I noticed this myself. "Also really enjoy your program. "Have a wonderful 4th." - Oh, awesome. - [Lily] Yeah. Just a
very interesting fact. - Yes. - [Lily] Okay, from
Charlotte Walker, she says, "How do you use specialized thread packs "if you are always using Aurfil 2021?" - So I will use this on, I,
okay, so let's be honest. I love Lori and I keep all
of the things she's done. So if you go into my stash,
I have all of Lori's things. So I keep it because I
like it 'cause it's Lori's. But I would use this if I was appliquing. Or I would just, honestly, I'm gonna put it in my
sewing room and I'm probably gonna put it like this on a counter. And it's not gonna be used,
but I'm gonna look at it. - [Lily] From Jane Bromley, "Will you be carrying
the Clover Wonder Pins?" - Yes. Okay, let's talk
about those Wonder Pins. Okay. So the Clover Wonder Pins
were announced last week. I ordered a lot. They're
shipping next week. They're coming in packs of 20. And they will be used for, you can use them for
basting your quilts, mainly. And a couple of you have asked me if they're gonna make
bigger packs, like a 50. So I emailed the people we buy it from to pass it on to the company. And she said, "So many people
have already asked for it. "They already know." So Clover already knows. So I hope they make bigger packs. But that has definitely been
passed on to the manufacturer. I have not personally tested those. Usually that would have been
something that at quilt market, we would have been able to see and test. And at least I would be able
to know a little bit about it, but haven't gotten a
prototype or anything. But I don't know that I would use them 'cause I don't ever baste. But I have gotten so
many wonderful responses. So that's super exciting for Clover that they've come out with a product that people are really looking forward to. - [Lily] Okay, and then we
had a new YouTube member, Teresa R. Higashi. Welcome Teresa. - Thank you. - [Lily] Yay, cue the confetti. And then we had a Super Chat
from O7mmartinez for $1.99, and they say "Kim and Lily make my day." Aw, thank you.
- Thank you. - [Lily] And they say "Thank you as well." Aw, that's so sweet.
- Aw. So guys have a great July 4th. Be safe, social distance. And I will see you guys next week. - [Lily] All right, bye, everyone.
