(bright music) - Good morning, guys. It's October 2nd, 2020. I'm Kimberly Jolly from Fat Quarter Shop, and we're sewing along on Sewcialites. So I'm gonna go ahead and
jump in and talk about Sewcialites block one. And then we're gonna start
Sewcialites block two. And then after that, I'm gonna show you how
to do a piece backing. So first I wanted to show
you everyone's blocks from last week. So this is Teresa's block. She made it three inches. And the fabric, (talks faintly), the fabric is Zen Chic Quotation. And then this is Deborah's,
and she used Figs & Shirtings, and she did three inches. And then this one is Sue's, and she did Shine On by Bonnie & Camille and hers is six inches. And then Terry made this one. And this one is Folktale
by Lella Boutique. And then this one is Angel's
and she used Cider by BasicGrey with a grunge. So I just wanted to show you
that you can do this any size. And I wanted to show you this. This was important. A lot of you have not enjoyed
pressing open and that's okay. Deborah pressed hers to one side. So you have to just decide what
you think works best for you and do whatever, you know,
whatever you feel is best. So that's block one that I
forgot to show you last week, and I'm gonna show you block twos. And then I'm going to show you
how I'm gonna make it. So this one is also Cider by BasicGrey. Figs & Shirtings. - Shine on.
- Sorry, Shine On. Folktale. Quotation, and Figs & Shirtings. So this is, thank you to
Teresa, Terry, Angel, Sue, and Deborah who sewed these for us. So this is gonna show
you kind of, you know, you can use any kind of fabric. You can use traditional, modern, anything, and they all look great. I'm gonna show you my blocks. And when they finished theirs, we'll also show theirs all put together. So I'm gonna show you
the blocks that I made for this week. These are the three blocks that I made. This block is a little bit
easier, which is great. Since last week's was really hard. This is definitely a beginner block. It is designed by Lisa von Jean and the name of the block is Loyal. You can see this poking through. (laughs) I was like, what is that pink under there? So I sewed mine with
Homestead by April Rosenthal, which will be coming in later this month. And what I'm gonna demo on the camera is All Hallow's Eve by by Fig Tree Quilts. This was my block one. I'm gonna show you block two. And I did want to let you know that this little key ring came in. It's a little Sewcialite. So I'm gonna actually get
one and put it on my car keys because I am all about losing my car keys. Ask anyone who lives in my house, they're always looking for
them, so this might help me. So I have my binder. And in my binder, you can print this out. You can find this on the blog, or you can find it on the
Sewcialites lounge Facebook group. I'm gonna go ahead and go
to page two or block two, which is here. I'm gonna pull this out of my binder. Put this aside. And I'm gonna show you what I'm gonna do. Now, the one thing that I am going to do that I decided over the weekend is I'm making six inch
blocks with All Hallow's Eve, and instead of making the big quilt like I am with my other blocks, I'm gonna do some other
fun stuff throughout that you will see. So this is block one. I'm gonna put it aside
with all my other blocks and we're gonna work on block two. So I brought all my stuff. I am going to use these two fabrics. And these triangle papers. So these are the two fabrics that I took from the layer cake. And if you're doing the six inch size, it calls for a fat quarter. But if you want to use the fabric once, you can get away with 10-inch squares. And the reason I'm doing it is I'm just kind of using scraps because I don't want y'all to feel like when you're doing something like this, that you have to do everything
exactly like we listed. And the only reason we
really listed is so that you have a starting point, but it doesn't mean you can't change it or do something totally different. The one thing I am
gonna do is I'm going to cover up the nine inch, because I don't wanna make a mistake like I did this weekend
and cut the wrong size. So this is one thing that I do so I don't cut the wrong size. I'm gonna cover up the
three-inch and the six-inch size so that I only cut this
and hope this week, I don't make a mistake
like I did last week. So we're considering the
background, the white, and we're considering the print, the gray. That's just how we write our instructions. Some people are doing it
reverse and that's okay. That's the beauty of this is
do whatever works for you. The first step is to make
half score triangles. So it says trim half square triangle unit. You take half an inch from that. So if it says one in three quarters, you need 1 1/4 inch triangle paper, which is what you would use here. If you're gonna do the six inch, you need 2 1/2 inch triangle
paper, which is here. If you're doing the 4 1/4, you need 3 1/4 inch paper, which doesn't exist, so you can do four inch and trim down, or you can do it the traditional
way, which is listed here. If you're doing it the traditional way, there is a ruler that will help you. This little handy seam guide. What is it called, Lilly? - [Lilly] It's the Creative
Grids lining sheet pads. - [Kimberly] Perfect. So there's a nine-inch seam
guide and a 12-inch seam guide. And it's great because you
can just mark your lines without having to move
a bunch of stuff over. Today, what I'm going to show
you is I'm gonna show you with triangle paper. Right here, we're gonna make four. And it says to cut two squares. So I'm gonna cut two squares
off my triangle paper. I use this little washi tape
and then I try to reuse it. No, obviously since I cut it in half, I don't know that I can reuse it. But I usually do reuse it. So this is 2 1/2 inch finished. ♪ Da da da ♪ I'm gonna make music like Lilly. - [Lilly] What music? - [Kimberly] Yeah, so see the
washi tape will usually come right off and then I just put it back on and reuse it over and over. And of course you can do
it through traditional way, which is written here. We write it the traditional
way so that you don't have to buy paper if you don't want to. I'm going to iron my fabrics real quick. So I'm gonna kinda just, I've got a lot of stuff going on here. I'm gonna just kinda move it. There we go. You can see enough. So you can see that I've starched this. And this is where I put
it on the drying rack. I'm always looking at Lilly for the words. And then you can see it
stands up like a tent. That's how I know I started
it the way I like it. Now, a lot of you guys are in the comments and some of you starch, some of you don't, that's totally fine. Don't feel like you have to do it my way. I'm just showing you what
I like to do in my house. And you can do it however you would like, you don't have to do it
the way that I do it. That's kind of the beauty
of any kind of craft. You can do it however you would like. So I'm just gonna iron these. And I do use steam. And you'll notice you do have
a little crease right there where it was on the drying rack. So I'm gonna move this apart. Now, I'm going to go ahead
and cut A and C first, because they're the same size. I'm gonna mark it out. Now you don't have to mark it out, but that's what I do. And that's what the triangle paper's for. So I'm gonna put my fabrics
right sides together. There we go. I'm gonna put it on the edge. and pin. And you're gonna see that throughout this, I usually just pick a corner
and just start on a corner. And anything that is cut the same size, whether it's half square
triangle or hour glass, I will usually cut those
first instead of going in the order of ABCD. But you can do, like I said,
whatever works best for you. So I find this as the easiest,
or I'm gonna cut that. I just leave a little bit on the outside so I can trim down later. I'll put this on my design board. And this is A and C. So I'll just put that there. And now I've got two from
the background, which is B. Now one thing you can always
do when you're looking at one of our Fat Quarter shop
or It's Sew Emma patterns is we put little diagrams with letters. So if you're concerned about,
okay, is the background the white or the gray? You just look B is white. So it is a 1 1/2 inch square. So I'm going to use my little handy dandy 2 1/2 inch square ruler,
pull it down and cut. It's easier to see on this. Then I will just use the other side. I usually do two sides at a time. So I'm going to line up the 1 1/2. Here and here, and then trim two sides. And that is going to be letter B. So I put this on my
design board with this. Now doing this method. You don't have to do this. And this is not as helpful when you're doing just one block. But a lot of times I will do
like 12 blocks all in one day, cut them all and just stack the boards. And so that's when you
really need your Alphabitties And then it says, print D,
cut four 1 1/2 by three. So here, I don't want to
lose this little sliver. So I'm actually going
to think about, okay, 1 1/2 times four is six, right, Lilly? Yeah, 1 1/2 times four is six. So I really need a three by six. So I kind of think about three by six. So I can actually just save right here. This is how I save fabric. And this is why I'm using a layer cake rather than a fat quarter, because now I have wasted nothing. Then I'm gonna cut 1 1/2. I hope 1 1/2 times six is, I mean, 1 1/2 times. Let's see, and I might
not have done that right. I don't think I did. Actually, I didn't. See? So I go three and three, actually I should have cut a three inch, but it didn't have enough for three inch. So see, that's how I do
math in my silly brain, a bit messed up, but that's okay. So now I need two more 1 1/2 by three. So I'm gonna think about one, two, three. I think I can get it from
this little piece right there. So I'm basically trying to
waste as little as possible. And also it's easier when
you come back to your project and you have a rectangle
rather than like, you know, stuff coming off of everywhere. So I'm gonna cut three. And sometimes I do talk
to myself just like this when I'm in my sewing room. (Lilly laughs) And you can see that my math skills, I'm a CPA, my math skills
are not that great. But that's kinda how I cut. And it's good to see that I just kind of, don't always do the math right. Okay, so these are our Ds. So I'm gonna put my mat away And we're gonna start the pattern. Now, one thing that I do if I was at home and I was doing a lot
of blocks, for example, I made this this weekend. When I did this, and we're
gonna talk about this next, when I did this, I did all
of my half square triangles at one time. So I cut all of this
and I've chain pieced. I mean, not really chain piece, but I did all my half
square triangles at one time so that I could actually finish it. So that's one tip that I would
give you is to save time. You could do all of these at one time. Of course, one thing I also do, I feel like I'm talking
too much, is if it is, now, this block is easy, but a lot of times I
will do one block first. That is one thing that I do. I do one block first. Make sure I've got everything cut right. Then I do all of them. So I guess I'd left that out. I would do one block. Make sure it works, make sure it measures 3 1/2 or 6 1/2 or whatever
it's supposed to measure. And then when you do the rest, then you can kind of be efficient. So now I'm going to go to my
sewing room, sewing table. This is my, my Juki is my sewing room. I'm kidding. (Lilly laughs) Okay, I'm gonna go to my Juki. I'm gonna turn my stitch lenth down. So whatever stitch
length you're usually at so if you're usually
at a two, go to a 1.5. If you're usually at a 1.5, go to a one. Every machine is different. So like a Bernina or Janome or
Juki, they're all different. So whatever you'd normally
stitch at, just go down, that's gonna help your paper pull off easier and not
pull out your stitches. And you wanna stitch
directly on the dotted line. (machine whirring) And you can do this using
the traditional method. And one of these weeks I'll
do one, a traditional method. I'm just showing you what
I really do in my house. (machine whirring) But I will find a week that I can show you the traditional method. (machine whirring) Perfect. So now I'm going to cut this down. I'm getting a little bit more organized on finding my stuff. So on this, my OCD is like,
I got to clean the table. (Lilly chuckles) So the most important thing
when you're using triangle paper is to stitch directly on the line. If you stitch to the left of the line, your triangle is gonna be too small. If you stitch to the, this
side, it's gonna be too fat. So it does affect your final size and your cutting here does. So I go pretty slow here, but, you know, cutting is my favorite part. We've talked about that a little bit. I love to cut. I just bought the Dinosaur
Quilt kit by Elizabeth Hartman. And I just wanna go home and cut it. I don't wanna sew it. I just wanna cut it. But I showed my son and he's very excited. And he told me that he would, if I cut, he would do the Aphabitties part. And I do have this jar of Aphabitties that I'll need to take
home to be able to do that. - [Lilly] Also lots of
people say Pioneer Woman has a similar chart to that
if you're looking for more. - [Kimberly] Oh, okay. So I bought this, I'll kinda go back. It's called Kilner. I bought this a long time ago on Amazon because there's a pink,
a blue, and a white. And I like everything in
my sewing room to be cute. And they're very heavy. And I will tell you when my shelf fell, this was one of the only
things that didn't break. - [Lilly] Oh, wow. - [Kimberly] And then Kevin told me when he put the shelf back up, please do not put that
jar back on the shelf. And I had bought it on Amazon
and I had bought it from, I think, the UK. So what Lilly is saying
is that the pioneer woman, she sells stuff in Walmart, I believe. - [Lilly] Yes. - [Kimberly] And she has
an awesome cooking show that my daughter likes. She has one similar. Maybe I'll have to go check it out. And then to pull the papers off, you can, there's a couple of ways you can do it. You can just do this. And when you do that, it comes right off. Or what I like to do, I will do kind of this. Well, actually, my son,
Peyton, does all my paper, but this is how I taught him
is especially if you're doing multiple blocks like this, and you've got to peel all this paper off, which I kind of peel them all back and then rip them all at once so. More wrapping. And I usually just throw
the paper on the floor, but here I will not. Okay, we're gonna go to the ironing table or the ironing mat. My words are all off today. - [Lilly] Iron station. - I was telling Lilly, we took the, we do the flu shot, where we pay for the flu
shot for all the employees. And I got it. And ever since then, I'm like, ugh. It made me, it makes me sleepy. And every year it makes me sleepy. It makes me like, I don't know. So now I've got them. Now, what I will do here
is I'm gonna set the scene and setting the scene
to me means just putting your iron on it. I'm not jerking my iron. I'm just setting the iron on it. Now, if you're a person who
likes to press to one side, on this one, you would just
press toward your orange. And that will work on this one. What I will do is press to one side first. Yeah, I'm excited that I got
the the flu shot over with, but now I've got to do my kids. So I have to figure out because they used to do it at school. It was part of school. So now I'm like, oh, I gotta figure out where I'm gonna do it. Now I'm gonna find my scissors. Here they are. And what I do here, I'm
gonna actually press open. I'm gonna press all my blocks open, but if you don't want to,
just press towards the darker. And I'm gonna just clip these off, the reason I clip it
off before a press open is you only have to clip
off two instead of four. So if you had, let me show you this. ♪ Do do do ♪ Lilly's gonna start singing music. Then if you do that, then
you have to go one, two, three, four instead of one, two. So I kinda do anything
that can make me go faster I will do in my sewing room because I want to get a lot done. I'm so excited about the
design with dinosaur quilt. I'm gonna starch it, so excited. 'Cause it's like a million pieces. I love to cut. I would just cut a million
of those kits if I could. So when I iron, I'm just finger pressing. And just put your iron on it. The biggest thing about
when I'm ironing is just to not move your iron around. Okay, so if you go back to
the beginning of the video, if you're doing the three-inch block, you will use a 1.25 finish
half square triangle. If you're doing a
six-inch block, like I am, you will use 2 1/2 inch finish. And if you are doing that
nine-inch, you need 3.75 finish, which we are gonna develop
now that we realize we don't have it. If you want to use triangle paper, just use four inch and trim down. And what I did with that
is you can take right here where it says trim half
square triangle to measure whatever is in your little section. So this is three, this
is six, and this is nine. Take half an inch off. So 1.75 minus 0.5 is 1.25. And I write it down in my pattern. And the reason you write it down is then you don't have to think again. It's all right there. So I make lots of notes. You're gonna see that I make lots of notes on my patterns. So I'm gonna press these open. I love this block. It's so fun because it's so easy. I need an easy block today. Did you do the flu shot? - I did, yeah.
- You did. - [Lilly] It was very convenient, so thank you for providing that. - [Kimberly] Yeah, the only thing it, you know how smell bothers me? I could just smell that
alcohol in my office. I was like, it smells like a disinfectant. - [Lilly] Smells like a doctor's office. - [Kimberly] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was the one thing that I thought was kind of funny.
- Yes. - [Kimberly] I just didn't
know if you would do it. Sometimes I'll do it
and sometimes I won't, but I think lately I've
been doing it more than not. - [Lilly] Yeah. - [Kimberly] When I didn't
have kids, I wouldn't do it. But now that I have kids, I kind of feel like I have to do it. So now I will take my design
board and lay this out. Now, if I was making 20 blocks
at one time, for example, I would do all my
triangle paper at one time on all my blocks and
then I would come back. So here's how the block looks. I'm just comparing to, well, I guess I could compare it to here. Now, if you wanna change
your block, you can do it however you want. The block would look great like this, and you would have a circle. You could do like a
pinwheel type thing also. You can do whatever you want. I'm glad that this week my
measurements came out right, whereas last week they didn't. So on this one, I'm
gonna stitch down here. I'm gonna set my stitch
length back to my normal. And then we're gonna iron. And I'm gonna leave it chain piece so that it's not cut apart. So I'm gonna switch my foot. And I'm gonna chain piece. And on this one, you can pin or not. The pieces are not that,
they're not that small so you don't always have to pin. I'll pin just because I like to pin. (machine whirring) And I'll just keep pulling my fabrics. (machine whirring) Let me see you put a pin at the bottom. (machine whirring) So now, if I was at home,
I would put it here, carry this to my ironing board. So I'll just move my
ironing board over here. And I'm going to press. I don't cut these apart. I will just press. Now, it's easier to press to the side that doesn't have a seam. So I'm gonna do that first
and then I'm gonna press open. If you don't want to press open, you can just press
toward the orange sashing or the orange little rectangles. Flip it over. Now, it's super hot. So at home, I'm not gonna just start, I'm gonna let it cool a little bit, so I don't burn my fingers. So I'll kind of press them open. And you can see it's still hot. So they kinda, I mean,
they kinda sit there. And then I will press open. And then I'm gonna get my tailor's clapper and put that on top. More of these are coming
in stock today or tomorrow, today or yesterday. So I'm gonna leave that there. Come back, wait a little
bit, maybe like 20 seconds. Are there any questions
while that's sitting? And then I'll come back. I like that to sit. I have no idea how it
works or why it works, but it's awesome. And I will tell you that I couldn't find, I have, at home, I have the
big one on the small one. And when I was sewing this
on Sunday, I was like, I couldn't find the second one. I was like, oh my gosh, where'd it go? It's right here. It's at work. So I bought another one. I bought a different brand
just because I needed one. So, yeah. - [Lilly] But yeah, questions. There's actually some Super
Chats and member shout outs that I missed from last week
towards the end of the show. - [Kimberly] Okay, why don't you do those while I stitched this? - [Lilly] Okay, I will do that. I also just wanted to ask everyone putting in the Super Chat. I know last week we've
kinda had this thing going where we were talking about
passing the basket or the play kinda making a church analogy. And I just wanted to ask you all, if we could refrain from
using that, just so, you know, I don't wanna make light of
anyone's religion or seem like we're making fun of it in any way. So I'm just gonna ask
you guys if we could pass the virtual tip jar instead. But yes, so would really appreciate it. And then Super Chat from last
week from Darlene Wolf for $5. Thank you so much, Darlene. - [Kimberly] Thank you. - [Lilly] And then after
Darlene's Super Chat, we have gotten one from
Rayleen Cherubi, also for $5. Thank you so much, Reyleen. Oh, and then Rayleen had
said, "Thank you, ladies. "Off to bed as it is
1:30 here in Australia. "I will catch up tomorrow. So it's a little--
- Oh my goodness. I don't know that I could say up to 1:30. - [Lilly] Yeah. I did see that Australia is about to go through a time change soon, so it might be a little
bit later for them. - Oh.
- After that. But yeah, and then we had a new member join last week, Kimmy K. Welcome, Kimmy. And then we had another Super
Chat from Jan Bell for $5. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Jan. Super Piggy. Super Chat from Dawn Reed for $10. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Don. - [Kimberly] And don't feel
like you have to send one in. - [Lilly] Yes, yes. - [Kimberly] We're still
gonna read your comment if you don't. - [Lilly] Yes, we will
get to as many comments. This is just our way of like--
- Thanking you. - [Lilly] Yeah, thanking you, guys. Or if you guys really have a
question you want me to ask Super Chat kind of guarantees it. Dawn had also said, "Another
excellent show, Kimberly." So this was towards the end of the chat. And then we had another Super
Chat from Georgia Hanchera. Thank you, Georgia.
- Thank you. - [Kimberly] So now I'm
gonna let her keep going. But what I'm gonna do here is, it's still chain pieced so I'm
gonna cut one of them apart, not both, just one. And then I'm gonna do this. I'm going to pin. I'll show you real quick
how I pin and then. So here I just kind of,
well now I'll cut it now that I'm starting to put it together. Is I literally just try to bud
up the orange and the orange. There you go. And the white and the white. And I just hold it in place and pin. And we're gonna hope
that I don't have to use the same ripper today
'cause last week we had to. And then I'm gonna pin
the next intersection and just stitch. And then Lilly can keep talking. - [Lilly] New member from
last week, Karen Williams. Welcome, Karen. And then we had another new
member at the end of the chat, AJPayne75. - Thank you.
- Welcome, AJ. And yes, for our channel memberships, we did have a members only
live stream yesterday, which if you're joining
today as a new member, you can watch all the
live streams we've done for members only. Those stay up forever. So you can go back through
those and watch yesterday's and the other thing before that. Let's see. I can start doing today's. We had a new member join at
the beginning of live stream, Judy Hampton. Welcome, Judy. - [Kimberly] Excuse me. (coughs) I'm telling you it's the, it's
also the change in weather. It kinda hot to cold and
it's making everyone cough. - [Lilly] Yeah, I also kinda
just choked on my saliva. That's it. - [Kimberly] Oh my gosh! Lilly! - [Lilly] Don't you ever do that? Doesn't that happen to everyone? - [Kimberly] I don't know. (Lilly laughs) - [Lilly] I just get
excited, I don't know. - [Kimberly] That's funny. - [Lilly] Also, let me
go back to the comment. Patricia Lawson had said, "Hi, sweetie. "Momma's at Sewing
Weekend in Bryan, Texas." - [Kimberly] Thanks. Yeah, my mom went too. She's going to like a embroidery class for like three days. There's a store there. - [Lilly] That's exciting. - [Kimberly] Yeah, she
got there last night. - [Lilly] And then let
me know when you want me to pause with the Super
Chats and all that. - [Kimberly] I'll just show
pinning this real quick. - [Lilly] Okay. - [Kimberly] So here I do use
the design board so that I, a lot of times I could
do something like this or something like that, or I just kind of use the design board because when you set it down, you can see, okay, I've got to go on the right way. And I'm just gonna pin the same thing in all the intersections. And my seams did line up. If they didn't, I would pull them out. But if at home you don't want to, you don't have to. Do whatever makes you happy, whatever brings you joy,
or it does not matter. And you don't have to
feel like your blocks need to be perfect. That was one of the things and the group that people were talking about. I happened to just be a perfectionist in all parts of my life. That is a good thing and
it's also a bad thing. So it's just whatever your personality is is what you should do. And then I'm just gonna
sew this last scene and then Lilly can talk while
I try to make the machine not so loud. I'm I'm sewing slow so she can talk. - [Lilly] Aww. Thank you for everyone who says
that they also accidentally choke on their spit sometimes,
I appreciate the solidarity. - [Kimberly] Well, eventually
I'm gonna have to do that, so that I know that I. - [Lilly] Oh. - [Kimberly] I probably
just don't know I do it. - [Lilly] That's funny. We had a Super Chat at the
beginning from Susan Summers for 4.99 and she did amend it
to say, "Passing the tip jar. "I love all you do." Thank you so much, Susan or Susan. Let me know if there's
an accent on the Suzanne or if it's just Susan. Either way it's beautiful. - [Kimberly] Now, here
when you lay this down, you can tell if you do this, it's gonna tell you which
way is easiest to press too, because see it naturally went inside. So I'm gonna press that way first and then press open. It'll just do it, oh, look, that does not match up right there. Okay, I'm gonna redo that. - [Lilly] Okay. Do you mind if we zoom in on that? - Yeah.
- 'Cause I can't see it. - [Kimberly] Yeah, zoom in and I'm gonna show you how I unstitch. when I find the seam ripper. Okay, I'll move the iron and show you. And I'm gonna show you how I unrip. Okay, see that? That does not match. So to unrip, this is my little trick. On one side, I will. Okay, I'm gonna start here
and here I'm gonna redo the whole line. I'm not gonna do the whole, whole thing. I will unpick here and here. And then I'm gonna just kinda go through like every three to four stitches I'm using Artful Color 2000 also. When I turn it over, I'm gonna go back to
the start and the stop. So I'm gonna kinda, this seam ripper is, I think I have another one
that's better, this one is. So there and there. And then what you do is pick
it up in the middle, watch. And sometimes it'll work,
sometimes it doesn't. Okay, watch. It's the seam where it burrows. Okay, watch. Nope, it's not working. See, it'll just start coming out. See how that just came out? If you clip on one side,
see, that just comes out. It will just come out. I probably didn't do enough clips, but the more clips you do. Hold on, I gotta change seam rippers. That seam ripper (mumbles). I don't know where it is, but
we'll find it for next week. and I'll throw this one away. This one I can tell has hot glue on it, so that's why it's being difficult. So then I'll go back and just kind of pull these little buggers off. But normally if you clip on
one side and clip every few stitches and go to the other
side, it'll just pull out. Okay, so now I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna just literally
throw this in the trash. We'll find another one. Now I'm gonna repin. So I'm gonna do it again. Hopefully this time. Now, if you're okay
with them not matching, remember don't change
it if you don't want to. Okay, now I'm going to, when
I go back to my machine, I will start kind of
here before my stitches and then after my stitches. I'll just cover previous
so that there's not a hole. Let me just do it fast. (machine whirring) Let's look and see. No. Oh my goodness. Okay, we're gonna have
to find the seam ripper. Oh, here it is. - [Lilly] Oh, good, okay. - [Kimberly] I was like, I know it's here. So yeah, no, it's not. It's not. So I'm gonna redo it
again and I'm gonna do it where you can actually see
how that seam rip works. And I know what y'all's comments are gonna say, but I have to do it. I have to redo it. If I don't redo it now,
I'll redo it at home. Now if you go back and back, hopefully this will just pull out, watch. It never works the same on camera, but. Okay, well, you can talk
and I'll just fix it. - [Lilly] Okay. - [Kimberly] 'Cause I mean I'm not. - [Lilly] Yeah. - [Kimberly] My seams are stuck. Oh no (laughs). - [Lilly] It must be the new
machine, they're very tight. - [Kimberly] It's because I'm on camera and I had that flu shot I'm telling you. The flu shot, no, no, crazy me. - [Lilly] Okay, we had
a Super Chat earlier from Miasia Osby for 4.99. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Miasia. And then we had a Super Chat
for 19.99 from Valyria Bauer. - Thank you.
- Thank you so much, Valyria. And she put a pair that's
dancing with a top hat and a cane and it says, "You are amazing." - [Kimberly] Aw, thank you. (machine whirring) So now I just did one seam and it worked, and I'm gonna do the other seam. That way I don't go
across the whole thing, because it obviously wasn't working, so. And if you start really close to the seam you're more likely to get
it right, so that's what-- - [Lilly] Ah. - [Kimberly] Like, rather
than starting here, start real close to your seam. I learned that from Adita when she was here. - [Lilly] Yeah. - [Kimberly] And then that matches so then now I'll just press, I mean, I'll just finish stitching. So now it's all messy on the back. So I'll kinda cut off some of the threads. You don't have to. I don't think my quilters
care if I do or not, but I like it to be neat. See, that's what I get for
saying it's an easy block, is this. Okay, y'all can see my OCD, but I'm trying to do it
like I really do at home. So I'm gonna iron this one and then we're gonna trim it up. Yay! And then I'm gonna show
you something else. Okay, so. Okay, Lilly, you can talk. What I'm gonna do is just
iron this really good and put this taylor's clapper
on it to get it nice and flat, and then we'll trim it after that so that it's nice and flat. - [Lilly] Okay. We had a new YouTube
member join, Nancy Dylann, Welcome, Nancy. And then after that we had a
Super Chat from Minerva Pena. Oh now welcome, sorry. Thank you for, Minerva
for 4.99 Super Chat. And then our next Super Chat
was from Sunshine Girl 74 for 4.99, and she put a little
pear that's like working out saying, "Keep it up." - Aw, thanks.
- Thank you. - So you can see here, I've put two tailor's clapper. I do that at the end of a block just so it gets nice and flat. And then we're gonna trim it up. And, I'm gonna show you two different ways you can do that. Now, when I was first
quilting what I would do is I would put this
little 6 1/2 inch ruler and trim around. And sometimes I would chop off my seams. So I stopped doing that
because I didn't trust myself. So you can do that. Or you can do one side at a
time, which does take longer. and that's what I do. And I'll line up first
the line at the top, make sure these are a quarter
inch away, right at that, where the like the half
square triangle it'll meet on the ruler. I do use the side of the
creative grids with a dotted line rather than the white line. You can use either. That one's easier for me to see. And I'm gonna trim all
four sides that way again, line at the top, quarter
inch, quarter inch trim. And you don't even have to do this step. This is a step that you can leave off. I enjoy it. I love it. It makes me feel good to trim all this off 'cause then it's so gritty
and it's less messy. And I'm showing all my
crazy OCD tendencies. Okay, so now we're gonna measure it. And it came out six and 7/16. So it's not 6 1/2 and that's okay. So there's my block. So I do wanna answer any
questions on the block before I move to what I'm gonna do next. And when I put this, I'll put it back in my binder
and remove my yellow stickies. And also, you know, you see that I scratched out
numbers, but I used a pencil. So if I ever need it,
if I come back to this, all I have to do is erase
the, if I want to redo it. - [Lilly] Okay, a few people
were asking if it matters if you use a scant quarter inch or just a normal quarter inch, and which is more important? - Okay, so that is personal preference. I use an exact quarter inch
with the foot that I have. Some feet are different. Some feet measure in
centimeters, rather than inches. I've tried scant quarter inch, and I could never get it to work. So it's all personal preference. I use a quarter-inch,
that's just what I use. Now, Miss Rosie Carrie for
Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, she uses a scant quarter
inch on everything. So it really depends, I would say on your machine, the foot, maybe the type of needle
you're using or how you iron, it's all just what you do. I just do a straight quarter inch. But you can do whatever works for you. I want you all to feel like these videos are just showing you what I do, but don't feel like you
have to do it my way. And don't feel like you have
to say, oh, da, da, da, da. Do whatever. If I did a scant quarter inch, I don't know what my
blocks would look like. I don't know that I could do it. I can't get that to work. - [Lilly] And Kim Anderson was asking, when do we do our larger
half square triangles and just square, plain background blocks? - That's at the very end. - [Lilly] Okay. - And the bigger ones you don't
have to use triangle paper if you don't want to,
and I'll go over those when I do it. Now, the weeks that I'm gonna be out, which I'm gonna go visit Lori, that week, I'm gonna pre-record a video. And then the week after is black Friday. And I'll pre-record a video for that, but I'm not gonna be live on black Friday because I'm gonna be looking at orders and helping fill orders or whatever. - [Lilly] From Kim Sweden Boeple, what is your normal stitch setting? - Okay, so I got a new Juki. On the new Juki, I was doing 2.0. On my old Juki, I was at a 1.5. So it really depends on
what your machine is. Now, I could not stitch with a 2.5. The way that I iron, all
my stitches would come out. So I would say 2.0 would be standard. My old machine, I don't know. They just vary from machine to machine. - [Lilly] From Murray Elsner. Do you ever sew around the
blocks to prevent fraying when finishing the rest of the blocks, being that this will be
a year long quilt along? - No, I put them in a box. I'll show you my bag of tricks. So these boxes are 4.99 from Target. They're paper boxes and all my blocks. Can you do the upper camera, please? All my blocks are in here. And that's why they don't fray
'cause they're in the box. So they'll be in the box. And then the other thing that I do is in this box, I have a second one. These are my leftover scraps. So this is leftover from block one. And this is leftover from block two. And I keep those in another box. And that way I always
know where they're at. - [Lilly] Okay. We had a funny comment from Pat Borough. She said, "Good morning. "I just joined in and
misheard Kimberly and thought, "I heard her say taylor's slapper. "I shall now forever
call my favorite designs "tailor clapper my slapper. "I shall be slapping those
pesky little blocks." - This thing is heavy. - [Lilly] That's funny, tailor slapper. - That's funny. - [Lilly] And then Theresa says, "I have a question and I really
don't want anyone to take it "as criticism, but just curious, "why call this block Loyal
instead of just a Shoo Fly block, "which is one of the traditional names?" - So one of the things that
we do on our sew-alongs and our charity quilts is we
come up with names that evoke positivity instead of
the traditional name. If we do a traditional name, sometimes there's like
three traditional names. So we do that because we want our channel and our page to always be
something that gives you some kind of positivity and it's just a way to
have no arguments also. So that, if, so for example,
if you have a block, maybe somebody calls it a sister's choice or they might call it something else, we just come up with our own names. And it's actually a little bit, I think the measurements are
probably a little bit different than the normal Shoofly, but
that's just kind of what we do. We like things to be, you know, just positive, I guess. Is that the right word, Lilly? - [Lilly] Yeah, positive. - Yeah. You can call it whatever you want though. - [Lilly] From Cleo Hasbrouck, is it okay to use a
larger triangle on a roll to make a triangle and cut
it down, i.e. 3 1/2 to two? - Yes, you can do that. - [Lilly] Okay. And then we have lots of Super Chats. Some of which have questions in them. - Can I take a break and
you read the Super Chats? - [Lilly] Sure. - 'Cause I'm probably gonna
need to take two breaks. I just need to go potty real
quick and I'll come back. And she'll talk to y'all. - [Lilly] Yes, I'll talk from back here. - I have to find my mask though. Oh, here it is. Okay, I'll be right back. I can never find anything. - That's funny. Yeah, I'm gonna stay
back here so I can play Super Piggy for y'all, but let's see. Next Super Chat was from Kim
West and I saw you amended it to say "Passing the tip jar. "Thank you for all you do. "Loving the live tutorials
and seeing your process." Thank you so much, Kim. Really appreciate it. And Super Chat from Patricia
Hamilton for a Canadian dollar, 6.99, "For an amazing
Fat Quarter Shop team. "I spend more time with
Kimberly than anyone else, "both live and video." Thanks. Thank you, Patricia. Thank you so much. And then Dreamers Homestead, I see you Super Chat for
$5 saying, "It's Deb, "passing the virtual tip jar early. "Thumbs up if you love
these beautiful ladies." Aw, thank you. That's very sweet of you. And then our next Super Chat
was from Nancy Dalon for 4.99. You put the keep it up
pear and I'll go up there and mimic the pear for y'all real quick. (humming) So when I'm behind the camera, this is the keep it up pear. This is what I do for Kimberly. And the dancing pear with
the hat, I go like this. And then there's the one with
the mirror and I do this. So, yes, that's how I mimic the pears. Let's see, our next Super Chat was from Wilma Evans for 4.99. Thank you so much, Wilma. Every time I read your name, it reminds me of the Flintstones. And our next Super Chat was
from Susan Jeffries for $5. And Susan said, "Love Fat Quarter Shop." - [Kimberly] Thank you. - [Lilly] right now I went
and I modeled for them how I do the dancing pear things for you. - Oh, yeah, she does the little. - Yeah.
- Yeah. (chuckles) Okay, we still have more Super Chats. - Okay, I'm gonna keep going. - [Lilly] Okay. - So I do wanna show
you on the upper camera, if you look on my machine here at work, these came out from
last week and this week exactly the same, but I wanna show you
that my machine at home is going to be different, I bet. So I just have to find. Now, my machine at home
is gonna be different. It's gonna be bigger. And I got somebody who
commented and said something really like, oh, well I hope
my architect uses that excuse. I'm just showing you that
every machine is different and every, you know, if I, yeah, that's all I'm trying to show you is that every machine is different. So what I'm gonna do here with these, I'm gonna make
something from a house. And I'm going to, once
we have like five or six, I'm going to make something
with my house, from my house, show you, and then I'll move
to a different collection because I don't need another quilt. I don't need another fourth quilt. So I'm gonna move these
and I'm gonna show you what we're gonna do today. I think it's gonna be fun. I am gonna move the machine a little bit and come back to it. So I have to zoom way out. Okay, so what I did at
home, I bought last Friday, I found a 49.99 table at home
goods because home goods now has stuff coming in and I was so excited and it's a round table and it's about, I would say, like that. So when I went home, I thought, you know what size
would be great for this? Let's make something. So this is block two, three-inch blocks, four by four. So I made 16 blocks. I used All Hallow's Eve,
Figs & Shirtings too, and scraps from my stash. So like, this is Shine on. This is KimberBell Basics. So I, but you could make it all the same. You can do different. I wanted it to be scrappy. And I had four that I felt
were medium prints right here. I put those in the center, so when I display this on
my table, it'll probably be, you know, it'll look like this. Usually, I will have a
little container here and you won't see these. So I did press open. And I will tell you, this
took me maybe five hours. And I'm gonna send it today to Gina. She's gonna quilt it for me. So what I thought I would do is show you how to do a piece backing. Forgot my book, so I'm
gonna do it on this. This is how, this is what I do at home. So this is 12 1/2 inches. So 12 1/2 right here. You need four inches on each side. Okay, good. Yeah, thanks, sorry. I took it downstairs. Oh, good, okay. So here we go. So 12 and a half inches. This is literally what I do at
home to figure out a backing. I'm gonna do a piece backing. So on a small quilt like this, Gina said she only needs
four inches around. So four, my handwriting is horrible. Four, four, four, four. So that would be 20 1/2 inch square Now I want to do a piece backing. So I have my leftovers. Now what I could do here is I can just put this on the back. So this could be my backing. And I could do it just like that. And that would give me, you know, that's, it might be a little short here, but you could do something like that where it's just solid on the back. I hardly ever do that. So this is all starched
and these are my scraps. So you can see that I had a fat quarter that I started with for this. I'm gonna also show you
what I did with this. This fabric to me is very busy. It goes right here. I did not want my half
square triangles to be white and for it to not have, can you scroll in a little bit now? - Yep.
- Sorry. Perfect. So I didn't want this to be white. So I cut a hole in the center
and this is where I took my half-square triangles from. And then my rectangles,
I took from the outside. So I do weird stuff like that. But I started with the fat quarter. This was in my stash. This was a bigger piece. It was, oh, this is Farmhouse too, which is several years old. But this is basically
what I have leftover. So I'm just gonna kind
of show you what I do. So I have all different sizes of pieces. I have some small pieces, some big pieces that I'm gonna make, we're gonna make a piece backing out of. So we'll kind of look at,
you know, what do I have? I just have all kinds of stuff leftover because I started with, some
of these are from fat quarters. Like this one's from a fat quarter. This is from yardage. 'Cause it's 16 different fabrics here. And I want to incorporate a label. So I am a member of the
Sweetwater label company. I pay for it every month. They don't pay me to say this. And they come in this little paper bag. So I keep them altogether. So I have used most of them, but I'm gonna show you kinda
some that I have left over, but like the one from last
month I've already used. So I kind of display them and
see which one I think will look good with my fabric. So since I got orange and
white, I want something plain. Like the red is not gonna work. The blue's not gonna work. The green, I mean, that could work. So I'm gonna kind of eliminate
what I think doesn't work. This one says Mary Mary. So that obviously won't work. But I think this one will work because it's just black and white. Now you don't have to use a label. You can do this method without the label. I'm gonna look at the width
of it and see what it is, and it's 18. So I think what I'm gonna
do based on the small pieces that I have that are like this is I'm gonna cut some 3 1/2 inch squares so there's no waste. So if I take 20 divided by
three, I need about eight across. That's gonna get me 24. So I need eight. I need seven. Seven times three. Yeah, I need seven. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start here and
I'm gonna do one, two, three. Lilly's looking at me
like I don't do math. (Lilly laughs) So I think seven, 3 1/2. And I literally draw just like this, but I need that label to go in somewhere. So I'm gonna scoot it in
probably somewhere over here. So what I'm gonna do is cut first seven 3 1/2 inch squares. And I'm basically gonna
just add some solid, some other stuff over here maybe. So that's what I'm gonna do. And I'm gonna try to
come out around 20 1/2. Now your quilter might want more or less. A big quilt, you need five
inches all the way around, but the small one, I
think you only need four. So I'm gonna cut some 3 1/2 inch squares. And I'm literally going
to just take my scraps and cut just seven random. I could rotate the mat but I
have all this mess over here. Now from here, I'm gonna look and see if I can get a 2 1/2 inch square saved from my scraps and I can't. So I'm gonna let that go. I'm gonna eventually start
saving 1 1/2 inch squares, but right now I'm not there. So I'm gonna move that
aside and I'll just move to another one that's small. And kind of getting the
small ones out of your stash I think is kind of easy. So you could do 1 1/2 inch square if you want out of that. The smallest I keep is 2 1/2. That's just personal preference. I like this one too, so I'm gonna cut. But this is literally, you guys have asked what
I do for piece backing and I might confuse y'all,
but I literally just, I can't. I rotate that 'cause it's too big. That's my third one. Now here, I'm gonna want to keep, I don't want to keep all this because that's just gonna take up room, so I'll get rid of that. And as I do that, I'm gonna just put them
in my basket over here. And for every project at
home, I have a little basket. So this is too small. I'll keep it for later. This one's, now this one, okay. This will be a good teaching. Let's see, this one. I want to see if I can save
more to put in my scrap bucket. So I can, I can cut some 2 1/2 inches. So I'm gonna cut as close
to the edge here as I can. And I'm gonna cut some 2 1/2 inch squares. I'll take the 2 1/2 inch
squares home and I will put them in my 2 1/2 inch square bucket. And one day I'll bring that in and we'll make something out of it. This one actually might be
big enough to cut a 3 1/2. Nope. So I'll cut another 2 1/2, couple 2 1/2, and then they'll just go in my bucket. But some people do save
the 1 1/2 inch scraps. I don't yet, but I
think I eventually will. So right there, I cut in a little too far, so to get it to fit. So that's how you use up your scraps. You just save little leftovers. And at this point in my project, now, obviously, at this
point of the project, I'm just considering this to
go with this and I'm ignoring the blocks that I'm
making just to simplify. Plus a lot of this was from scraps, so I'll just save those. So now I've got four. I need three more. Put this, and I kinda
just roll my fabrics up and I put them in there. And later I'll cut those. I'll either save those or cut them down for something. So this one, okay, this
one, I don't wanna just cut. Like, it's gonna look funny. So I will try to cut
this in the very center because I'm special like that. So I'm gonna put the
white lines on this ruler. The white lines are the
center and I'm gonna put them on the center and I'ma cut around. That way you can see the pretty flower. Okay. So that's one, two, three, four, five. This one's too small. So I'll go ahead and cut this down into 2 1/2 inch squares,
so that when I get home, I just put it in my bucket
and there's no waste. But at this point I'm
kind of trying to use, the point of this is I'm trying to either use up my pieces or
put them in my scrap bin. So I could do a hold back
that's huge, but I don't. Oh, I cut the wrong size, that's a 2 1/2. Okay, so that goes in there. This goes in here. I'm not gonna use this one
because to me it's medium and I don't like mediums. I need two more. I already did the polka dot. Oh, I can do this one. Almost done. So you can see that I can
do a lot with this backing, but I don't want the backing to be too, I don't want to get too
complicated on this video, plus it's really small. Let's see. So this I'll save. I save everything. Okay, this one. So you can see when I
started with my layer cake, I went from one side to the other. And this one, I will kinda center this and get this pretty flower. You can, you don't have to, but I like to, so I will fussy cut. That's what fussy cutting is. You don't have to, of course
it's just the back, but I mean, really I'm not losing anything. And I'll just kinda cut these off. One, two, three, four, five. So I've got seven. So what I'll do is just
kind of put everything back in my bucket. I kinda keep this bucket until
I'm ready to cut it down. I'm gonna have, okay. Okay, move this. Oops, I dropped it. Let me pick it up. Okay. So like my drawing, I'm just
gonna sew seven together. You can lay it out any way you want, but we got to figure
out our label in there. So here's my label. The labels you can do it different ways. You can just sew it in. You can literally just sew this in, or you can put this on top
of a fabric and sew it in. Either way. This is going to, it's like fusible but it's a very light fusible. It's not like a real deal fusible. So to me, I'm just gonna sew it in. I don't need it to be on top. You can put it basically
on top of a plain white or something like this and sew it in. Or you can just show it like this. So what should I do, Lilly? What did everybody want me to do? I'll do either. - [Lilly] Let's see, yeah. Well, a few people were asking if, because it makes like a papery sound when you've been handling it, the label. So they were asking like, if
it's paper or if it's fabric. - [Kimberly] So it's fabric right here and it's like a heavier cotton. And this is like some kinda sticky. So let me try to stick
it down to something. We don't have any plain
white in here, do we? I forgot that that piece. I could put it on the other
one, but you're gonna see it. Yes, oh, Lilly, thank you. So I usually will start with a plain white because I don't wanna see through to this. So I'm just gonna kind
of put it on the edge. I'll do this way. Find my scissors. This is what I do at home. Do you all do that when you're
looking for your scissors or your rotary cutter? 'Cause it's usually like right there. That's how I operate. That's what I was doing. - [Lilly] Everyone is saying sew it in. - [Kimberly] Okay, I'm gonna sew it in, but I'm gonna put it on top
of this fabric to sew it in. - [Lilly] Okay. - [Kimberly] So I always sew it in. So I do always sew it in, but sometimes I sew it in like this, or sometimes I put it on
a fabric and sew it in. So that's the difference. So what I'm gonna do is just
kinda keep these in order. And this label will just,
it'll kinda stick down. So you see it sticks. Sometimes I don't put a backing on it. Sometimes I just sew it in. If I was at home, I probably
would have just sewed it in without putting that on there. This makes it thicker, but that's gonna give it some stability. So for this, what I would like to do is I don't want this black. Can you zoom in a little
bit, sorry, Lilly. - [Lilly] It's okay. - [Kimberly] It's better
for my eyesight too so I can see what I'm doing. I probably don't want that
black to show, right here. Just because I don't want it to be, you'd probably have to be really straight and it would drive me crazy if it wasn't. So I'm gonna put my Creative Grids ruler on that line right there. That's my quarter-inch seam. I don't want it to show. So look. ♪ Do do do ♪ I'm gonna move it a little bit. Can you see that, yeah. A little bit to the left and trim. And the reason I do that is
hopefully this will get sewn into the seam. I might need to do a little bit more. And I want it to be straight. We do the same thing on the bottom. Is go a little bit to the left. Okay. Now, I'm not gonna trim the edges because it really doesn't matter. What I'm gonna first do
is I'm gonna do one, well, I guess I could. See at home I wouldn't,
but here I'll do it. Now, I'm going to use
this and we're gonna hope that 3 1/2 works and it does. It's gonna chop off a
tiny bit of the words. Yeah, that's probably not gonna work 'cause that's gonna chop it off. So see, I cut 3 1/2 inch squares. It's gonna cut a chop off. So I'm gonna go to a different label 'cause that's not gonna work. And then this label can just
go right back in the bag and that's no big deal
because it's already got the thing on it. This one might work better. So see, this one is not
gonna chop off any words. So I'm gonna do this one now. And this is the kind
of stuff I do at home. I had told Lilly I'm not planning it out. I'm just gonna do it. So that's what I'm doing. And you're gonna just see
that this is my method. So I'll cut these off. I'll keep these for later. Do you think this one
looks better or this one? I think this one might look better. - [Lilly] The white one? - Uh-huh.
- Yeah. - [Kimberly] Okay, let's do the white one. Okay, thanks. Put these in the bag. Cut a little white piece. I'm so glad we had this, Lilly. - [Lilly] Yeah. - [Kimberly] I thought about
bringing it and I forgot. - [Lilly] Yeah, we have
like a leftover bin. - [Kimberly] And you can
make your own labels. I have no experience doing that, but there are some products
you can buy from electric quilt where you can print out
on your own printer. One of the things is a lot of times it has to be a deskjet or inkjet. And so a lot of people
don't have inkjet anymore. So sometimes that's a holdup. Okay. So now I'm going to do the same thing. I'm gonna cut, but I think
this one will look good showing that little line around it. So I'm gonna cut on the other side so that it will show the little ring. And I mean, I just really just
make my backings up as I go. So from here, I want this to be centered in the 3 1/2. So I'm gonna just take
it, line up these edges. See where they line up? Put a crease and the
white line on my ruler on that crease will tell me the center and I'll chop both sides off. And that will iron out later. That will iron out later. So now I'm literally going
to just kind of figure out where I'm gonna put this. Two, three, four, five, six, seven. I'm gonna sew this without this. Can you zoom out? Thanks. So I'm actually gonna do this ditty, leave one off and see
if that's wide enough. I like this one better, put that there. Actually, no. I'll kind of move it around. There, I'm gonna do that. I think that looks good. So I'm gonna sew them. And what I'll do, I'll
move my sewing machine back a little bit. And I'ma literally chain piece
this whole thing all at once. So take my shoes off. And this is what I do. I'm gonna use a quarter-inch seam. And I literally just keep adding. And I just remember where I was at, which side is the left and
which side is the right. (machine whirring) I'm not gonna iron in between. (machine whirring) Okay, now I'm gonna iron this. And I will set the seams and then go. So I will kind of go
like this, set my seam. Press. Set my seam. Press. Now this you're gonna see when you hold it that it naturally goes towards
the orange, not the white. So I'm gonna set both sides. Set both seams. Let it fall where it goes and then press. I do set my seams because
if you don't set your seams, it's gonna be kind of wonky. So let's see. Let's see if this measures enough to not. This measures 20 inches. Perfect. So I don't have to add that other square. I'll just put it in my box. And now that it's in my box, I can put it in my container. So this is three inches. I need it to be 20. So 20 minus three is 17 divided by two, 8 1/2. So I need this to be about 8 1/2 by 20. So this is my leftover fabric. I don't know if it's gonna be enough. It's gonna be barely enough. So it is about eight inches. So what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna iron this flat, cut it here, and then just attach it. And this stuff on the edge, I'm not trimming down
because Gina's gonna trim that down after she, or I will trim it down after
before I put the binding on. So this just happens to be the right size. It might be about half inch too small, but I think it will be okay. And since it's my backing, I don't have to line anything up. I trim as little as possible off. And I'm going to do this. And it's a little bit
wider than it needs to be, but that's okay. I'm not even gonna pin this. So I'm gonna just literally put this. Can you zoom out a tiny bit? - [Lilly] Yeah. - [Kimberly] I'm gonna, thanks. I'm gonna, let's see, go. Okay, good, I can go this way. I'ma literally just sew this down. I'm not trimming this down until later and I'm not pinning anything,
I'm just putting it down. Now, if you're doing a backing that, yeah, on the backings, I just kinda go. And when I do this, I'm going to put this. Can you go to the front camera? - [Lilly] Sorry. - Thanks. Okay, this, let me see if I can see it. Oh wow, just below. This goes on top. That way I can make sure my seams stay the way I want them to. And I literally just (machine whirring) stitch. (machine whirring) I'm gonna press real quick. And on this one, I will
press toward the background because that will be the easier way. And I put my iron right on that seam so that there's no puckers or anything. And now you can see, it says Kimberly Jolly
right in the middle. So if somebody steals this quilt one day, my name is still gonna be in it unless they put an ink pen on it. And I got this idea from Jaybird
Quilts about 10 years ago. She is a designer, pattern
designer called Jaybird Quilts. She's the one that's designing what Lilly's working on.
- Yeah. - [Kimberly] And after
she started doing it, then the label club came
out and I thought, okay, then I can make it work. - [Lilly] And can you remind us the name of the label club, please? - [Kimberly] The company
is called Sweetwater. And Ashley will have to
link to their label club. They have some different options. They have an option where
you get one a month, one sheet a month. It might have one label. It might have two, it might have three. Or you can have it say like
a state that you live in, or there's a Christmas option. And those are bigger sheets. And those are not the club. Or you can just order a
sheet that has your name and the year. I left those at home. - [Lilly] And we are curious, how many of you guys have
tried piece backings at home or are now going to try it
after seeing Kimberly do it? (machine whirring) - It's fun to do the backings 'cause you don't have to be as precise, 'cause nothing has to line up - It's just gonna go in the back. Okay, I'm gonna move
the sewing machine now. - [Lilly] Do you want me
to take it off the table? - [Kimberly] No, yeah, maybe. Yeah.
- Okay. I don't know. Or we can do it after in the intermission. We can do an intermission. Okay. It's making a duck sound, do you hear it? The iron is like quacking. - [Lilly] Yes. - [Kimberly] Okay. So from here, I will just kind
of trim the edge just to be, so it's not. It doesn't have to be, though. Just trim that off. I missed the trash can, sorry. I tried it. - [Lilly] Those are bigger pieces. That's not a big deal. - [Kimberly] Yeah, and
then these, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna trim this. You don't need to. But what you can see is you
put your quilt on top of it and it's got plenty of room for Gina. So when she puts it on her
machine, this will go down. She'll put 80, 20 batting in
and she can quilt it this way. She can quilt it this way. And if she got crazy, she
could quilt it this way. That's not gonna give her enough room, but I'm just saying it can go any way. She could even do this. She could do that. So you could do a skinnier
top, a skinnier bottom. She can kind of put it wherever. Now she knows I like it kind of centered, so she'll just do this. That's what she'll do. But you could have done, let's see. Up here, you could have
done a skinnier piece and a fatter piece. You could have done a strip, white, another strip, white, another one. It's how much of your
bend that's left over do you want to use up? I wanted to do something easy
and also this is going to go on a table. And so, you know, it didn't have to be. It doesn't have to be fancy. So the way that I will send it to Gina, I will kind of fold it where
it doesn't mess this up. And I will probably fold
this just like this. And that's how send it to Gina. I do need to send her some binding and I don't know that
I have enough leftover. So I'm gonna have to find some. Let me see. I don't know that I
have a piece big enough. Let's see, this piece might be big enough. Nope, so then that's when
I'm kind of like, oh. Did I use it all? Let's see, this would
not look good as binding. This one. So this will probably be
my binding right here. So I cut at the bottom, but she's got plenty of room and she's gonna do a two-inch border. So she only needs four inches. So that's gonna give her plenty. So I will iron this so that
I don't send it to her messy. And she'll use that to make more binding. And I will just send it
just like this to Gina. When I send something
to a longarm quilter, you'll wanna put it in a bag. I'm gonna move this. So we usually use trash bags or we have, we buy from Uline. These really thin,
thin, thin plastic bags. And that's what we put them in, so that if it's in the
mail, it doesn't get ruined if water gets on your package
or something like that. - [Lilly] Lots of people are suggesting, do a scrappy binding. - [Kimberly] Yeah, I'm not a
big fan of scrappy bindings on something like this because I feel like too much is going on. So, if I had a white on the outside, scrappy binding would be a good idea. But I feel like if you did
scrappy next to scrappy, it's gonna be too much. But, yes, I think that's a great idea. I don't think it would
look good with this design. I did think about adding a border when I was done and I kind of did this. And I thought, you know, it looks better. This is how you can try it out. You can say, do you want to add a border? This is kind of how it will look. 'Cause you can just see a
little bit of your binding. Or does it look better with just binding? And to me it looked
better with just binding, and you can just try it out. That's what I do is
just kind of try it out, and then bigger border, fatter binding, big, big border, skinny, skinny border. Okay, so I know you'll probably
have a lot of questions. So let me know what
questions you all have. - [Lilly] So just to
summarize a little bit what you're saying here, so there is no right or wrong answer to how you can do this, right? - Right, like I showed at the beginning, you can just put a fabric on the back. You don't have to put a label in at all. You could just put fabric. You can do a scrappy backing
and leave the label out. You can do whatever you want. I think it's fun. My favorite part is cutting
and doing the backings. I love doing the backings. I mean, it looks cute and it's
gonna always have my name. And if I give it as a gift,
it's gonna have my name. If it's in my house, one day when I die, it'll be in an antique shop
and somebody will be like, oh, that was that lady on YouTube. But I mean, I just think it's fun. You can make your own labels. You can even just get some fabric and write with a permanent
like Pigma Pen or something. - [Lilly] A few people were wondering what you are ironing on. - This is a June Taylor mat. And on one side it's a mat, and on the other side, it's a cutting mat. Sorry, on the top it's an ironing station. On the bottom it's a mat, so that if you go to
a retreat, it's great. - [Lilly] Also great for on-camera
when you need it quickly. - Yeah, I mean, I don't
want to move the iron and show it, well, I guess I could. I just don't wanna burden myself. And we sell them at Fat Quarter Shop. You can also find them at like Joanne's. And there's different sizes. They have some real tiny ones. This is one of their bigger ones. They're not too big. I think this is the biggest one. - [Lilly] I think so too. Sharon Berker-Meyer says
you save all squares, but how do you know you won't need strips or rectangles down the road? And other people were also asking why you don't save rectangles. - I just don't feel
like it, but Lori does. And so you can. I like mine to be cut down exactly so that I don't have to take
it out and measure it later. So, what I have decided
for myself is I save 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 5 1/2,
and 6 1/2 inch squares. That's what I save. Now you can save 1 1/2 inch squares. You could do strips. You can do whatever. I just kind of, that's about. And I don't need much more than that. Like if I have a fat quarter, I'm not gonna have enough
to do all those squares plus a rectangle. But if you want to, you definitely can. You can do whatever you would like to do. That's just kinda what I do. And for example, let me show you. I'll show you what I do. This is what I'll do with this. I'm making a mess over
here, Lilly, I'm sorry. - [Lilly] That's okay. - [Lilly] This is what I'll do with this. First, I'll iron it. Can we do the upper camera?
- Yeah. - [Kimberly] First I'll iron this. I mean, I'm not gonna do it like this. This is my 6 1/2, 5 1/2. I will cut as many as I can. So I'll lay it out and
I'll probably cut this, this, this, this, then I'll
go back and add another 2 1/2. Once that's done, then I'll go. And I will save as much of this as I can. And then that all goes. So, some of my scrap
buckets I'll have one piece. Sometimes I'll have two. Sometimes I will have one in the 6 1/2 and one in the 2 1/2, and that's it. I'll just save whatever. And I learned that from Lori. Lori taught me that. That's not something that I came up. - [Lilly] From Jolynn Catledge. Do the label shrink with
the fabric in the wash? I know Kimberly doesn't wash her quilts, but was wondering if anyone might know. - Yeah, I don't know. You could, maybe. I mean, I'm sure they
would shrink a little, but I don't think you
could wash that beforehand because it would fray on the edge. It's too small to wash. Plus, if you washed it, if you washed it, that
sticky stuff on the back would get all in your washing machine. So I would not recommend that unless, 'cause it's not a very hard stick. Like it's not a heat and
bond that's like thick. Chino will tell you a lot of times I just send her those quilts and I don't put that
white thing on the back. If I don't have time, I just put it in. It doesn't affect anything. - [Lilly] Okay, and then
Ashley Mass was asking a random question. Do you recommend using starch fabric for the foundation
paper or does it matter? Like our foundation paper pads. - It doesn't matter. I starch everything. So I like to starch, it's up to you. Either one will work. - [Lilly] Okay. And lots of Super Chats to go through. From JC Golick, Super Chat for $5. And they said, love you all. Watch you every Friday. - Thank you.
- Thank you, JC. And our next Super Chat
is from Patricia Hamilton for 15 Canadian dollars. And Patricia says, another Super Chat as I couldn't change the amount
of my iPad on my laptop now. Thanks Kimberly and Lilly
who are such a great team. - Thank you.
- Thank you. A new YouTube member, Gretchie F. Welcome, Gretchie. - Thank you.
- That's a cute name. Gretchie. And then our next Super
Chat is from Barbara Coil. Barbara says good morning, ladies. Cannot believe it's October. Hope you all have a blessed weekend. - Thank you, yeah, it is October. It's nice outside though. I really like the temperature.
- It was really nice. - I went for a walk last night
for the first time in awhile. And then I was walking so long that my kids just left me outside. And I was like, where is everybody? Where's my dog? They just like went inside. Nobody said, we're going. I was just like, oh, I'm just
chilling out here by myself. They were in the backyard playing. I mean, they go through the backyard. There's like a cut-through gate. And so then they were
like playing with the dog in the backyard and I'm
like, wait a minute. I thought they were walking with me? - That's really funny.
- It is funny. And I was kinda mad though. I was like, hey guys, next
time you could say bye, something.
- At least say, hey. - 'Cause they ride their bikes so they're not always like right, where like two cul-de-sacs
that go like this. They're like circles
right behind our house. So like, our house is right here and there's a cul-de-sac
here and a cul-de-sac here. So, sometimes I'm in one and
sometimes they're in the other. - [Lilly] They just all went back home. - They just all went home. I don't know how long I was out there. I mean, it could have
been like 10 minutes. I was like, oh, I'm a horrible mother. I'm not even paying attention. My goodness. - [Lilly] From Lori Roth. Super Chat for 4.99. And Lori says, thank you. I have been looking
forward to the new block as soon as I finished my block one. - Thank you. - [Lilly] And then our next Super Chat was from Brenda Shu for $5. And Brenda says, could you
consider putting triangle paper suggestions in the patterns
where you'd use them for those of us who are
triangle paper deficient? - So we're gonna start doing that on our It's Sew Emma patterns going forward. And on this one, we decided to, I will tell you in each video
so that we don't confuse you. And we're kind of transitioning into that. And so we're gonna kind of test it out on like one pattern and see how it works. And then if we don't
get a lot of questions, then we'll, you know what I mean? Like we kind of wanna rule that out gently so that we don't get people too confused because not everybody
watches me on YouTube. I mean, most people don't. You know what I mean? I don't wanna confuse
people who aren't watching. And I also don't wanna write
the patterns only for that, because then people will say, well, you're making me buy something. And so I don't wanna
make you buy something. - [Lilly] From Charlotte Walker. Charlotte gave us the $20 Super Chat. - Thank you. - [Lilly] Thank you so much, Charlotte. - And I did joke the other day
about going to get Starbucks. And it was just a joke, guys, sorry. I know that there was like some comments, but it was just a joke, I was being funny. - [Lilly] And then
Charlotte did wanna ask, will you guys get any more of the oval red Fat Quarter Shop magnetic pin holders? The oval shape fits in my hand better. So it's like our-- - Somebody email Denise and
me and I'll look into that. We have to buy an order. Like, you have to meet a
minimum order quantity. And I don't think they sold that great. But I can look into it. I just have to email the company. Schmidt's make them for us. They'll make them for any quilt shop. And this is what she's talking about. Yeah. We can email them if Lilly tells me, 'cause I'm gonna forget. - [Lilly] Yes, I made a note. And then we had a $5 Super
Chat from Linda Hester. Linda said, I didn't get
a box from you yesterday. I must've missed a day of ordering. I'll probably get two today. That's funny. - Thanks. Yeah, you gotta be home
and hide those boxes from your husband. The other day, y'all know what I did? I really wanted a wreath for,
oh, my ladder made it here. So I have this ladder. Here, I'm gonna show it to you. - [Lilly] Okay. That's a little heavy. - Yeah, no, I'm not. - [Lilly] I can bring it in. - Okay, You bring it over here, sorry. I'm like, I think that was ripped. So, I have this ladder in my bedroom. Actually, not this exact
one, but something like it. And I wanted to put up a
little wreathe for Halloween, but I wanted it to be fall. And the one I have is
like a eucalyptus leaf and it's spring. So at the very top, thanks. I wanna show this thing. So at the top you can hang a wreathe, and you put your quilts. So I went on Etsy. Thank you, and I bought a wreathe. But on accident I bought two. I don't know where I'm
gonna put the second one. I was like, why do I have two? And then I had to go back and look. And I was like, oh my goodness. I mean, I like both of them. I just have to find a home for the other. It's kind of embarrassing
when you buy two things and you don't need to. - [Lilly] That's funny. - Lilly thinks it's funny,
I'm sure Kevin doesn't. He hasn't figured it out yet. - [Lilly] I do think it's funny. It's also just like, well, now I have two. This is kinda nice. But they're like handmade, and
it's the eucalyptus leaves. And then they just put pumpkins on it, which I'm sure I could
have done if I had time. But I don't have time. And I had looked at Michael's, and everything at Michael's
seems very Halloween or very orange for the wreathes,
and I didn't want orange. - [Lilly] And then from Sarah Pat-Daniel, Sarah gave us a $5 Super Chat. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Sarah. And then a couple new
YouTube members here, or a few actually. Sherry Thurman. Welcome, Sherry. And then another new
YouTube member is Wally12. - Thank you.
- Welcome, Wally. New YouTube member, Kathleen Kirk. Welcome, Kathleen.
- Thank you. - [Lilly] And another
new YouTube member is, hang on, it went away. Mallory Anderson. - Thank you.
- Welcome Mallory. Grammy is a new YouTube member. Cute username. Welcome, Grammy. And then we got a Super
Chat from Julie Conway for 19.99 and she put the pear that says, thanks for being you with
the mirror going like this. - Thanks. - [Lilly] Okay. And then, okay, we're almost
through the Super Chats. Jennifer Jacobs gave us a $5 Super Chat. And Jennifer says, Kimberly and her crew are my reward for a week
teaching seventh graders. - Thank you, oh, seventh grade. Oh yeah, I know all about that. I have a daughter in eighth grade. They think they know everything. It's a good year. I think seventh is like, sixth and seventh is
a tough year for kids. - [Lilly] Yeah, it's rough. Middle school is rough. Super Chat from Nancy Rogers for 1.99. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Nancy. And Super Chat from
Laura Hamilton for 4.99. And Laura says, thanks for
all of your live streams and videos, so helpful. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - And definitely, guys take what you like and the stuff you don't like. That's okay. It's just what I do. - [Lilly] A few people
are asking if your mom might want the extra wreathe. - No, she does not
decorate the way I want. She would tell me that was ugly. Believe me. We don't like the same things. She's just like my daughter. So my daughter and her
have the same taste. I guarantee, she'd be
like, mm, that's gray. 'Cause it's kind of got
grayish, she does not like gray. - [Lilly] And then we had a question from Jennifer Aragon about ironing. She's asking, so you use no
steam when building blocks and then you steam after
the block is all together? - I use steam the whole
time, but I starch beforehand so it's already pre-shrunk. But I do use steam. The only time I don't use steam is when I use these foundation papers that I'm gonna talk about next. So, I wanted to show you this. This is my scrappy. This is my 2020 quilt, but also
my Scrappy September finish. I started this in January and I saved scraps throughout the year. And this is from all the
quilts I made this year and I used the log cabin paper. And then I kind of made a pinwheel. I put them in pinwheels. And Gina Till quilted it. And she did like a spiral. And I'm gonna show you the back. Well, I'm gonna show
you the other side first and then I'll show you the back. I think it slips again. So on this, all the whites are different. Some are the same, but
they're not all the same. So one of the questions I
got was are these the same? Some are cream. They just blend in. So you can see this is pretty cream. So I tried to use up scraps. In the back I used some of
Lori Holt's bee backgrounds. Aqua Jars. Can you do the upper camera? Thanks. Oh, and of course now
I've got it upside down. I thought I had it right side up? - [Lilly] Well, the camera's face-- - [Kimberly] I know, so, okay. So then this is what I did with this one. This is actually-- - [Lilly] Oh, the one you're gonna use. - [Kimberly] Yeah, it was
the one I was gonna use. So you can see from my, it probably came with this. So it's just a different color. So I put this. I didn't even put fabric
on the back of that. And I put a border around
it and then I set it in. And this was scraps that
were leftover from the front. So I'm excited about that
because now I have another quilt. - [Lilly] Yay. - I know, I don't know
what I'm gonna do with it. I kind of have an idea for it. but I'm excited to have it. Can I take it home, Lilly? I'mma take it home. So what I made this
with is this right here, this log cabin six inch. When you have all these leftovers, like this, you can just cut them into
strips and make some of these. This uses 1 1/2 inch strips and the 12-inch block
uses 2 1/2 inch strips. In these pads, there are instructions. If you're working with these, do not use steam 'cause
it'll shrink your paper and it'll get your paper wet. So this is the log cabin. This is the pineapple. And then this is the economy. And these are by Lori Holt. We have something really fun
planned with all of these. And we have another one
coming out in a little bit. We also have this that is free on our blog and it will tell you different sizes that you can use with the papers to make different size quilts. So, super awesome. I just wanted to show you
that's what that is made out of. Another quilt that I finished,
I had showed you guys. This also is Scrappy September. The brand new "The Bonnie
and Camille Quilt Bee Book". Thank you for all the
nice comments on the book. I made the wish table runner. So this is the front. This is all from scraps
for Scrappy September. So, let's see. Oh, I fallen off, okay, there. I'm like, try not to fall off the table. So that's the front and this is the back. I'm gonna show you, I did
this one totally different. I'm gonna show you the back
and then I'm gonna show you up close what I did
'cause it's different. This pattern, this scrappy backing is actually included in the book. And this was all for my scraps. I didn't buy anything except, I might've had to buy one border. I think I had to buy this fabric. Okay, now here I piece this backing and
forgot to put my label in. And I came to the live stream with Lilly and I was like, wait, I
don't have it in there. So what I did, I went home. I took one of the labels
from my little bag. I added borders. I took a hot hammer, which
we don't have on the set, which is fine. I took a hot hammer. It's a Joan Holly Clover tool. I folded this in, a quarter inch. And I stitched this on
top of the same square. So let's see. Okay. See how you can see it's raised there? Now you can see it. And I stitched it on top. And then Gina just quilted on top. But I did this because I forgot. Now, normally I would have
just sewn this into a square or I would've put it into here probably. But I just totally forgot. And I was like, oh wait,
I need to fix that. So if you forget, you can put it on top. So, that's another way you can do it. And I just did a little top stitch and the hot hammer is, I have to sneeze, hold on. Excuse me.
- Bless you. - The hot hammer is like, it's kinda like felt-ish,
but you can fold it, fold your fabric over it
and get a straight line. I didn't want to raw edge on that. And then I wanted to let you guys know that we have these Session
Stores in lots of colors. We are doing breast cancer
awareness on these two. This is the large and the mini. And in honor of breast
cancer awareness month, we are donating 25% of the sales of these two session stores for retail. And we're gonna donate it to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for their work on
providing early detection, education and support services. That is gonna be on all sales from October 1st to October 31st. And I'll show you how you can use these. Well, you open it. And all your stuff will fit in it. We have lots of colors on this, but the main thing I
used it for is my feet. I put my feet in there. That's the main thing I do. And then my scissors. - [Lilly] You're sawing the two feet. - [Kimberly] Sorry. I'm a machine C. I was like, why is she
giving me that look? Okay. - [Lilly] I looked away
for a second, that's why. - [Kimberly] Because this is
the only way I won't lose them. So I put them in there, I use scissors. And you could put, you can put like, even
this big thing right here, this seam roller. - [Lilly] Yeah, you can make it fit - [Kimberly] It'll fit. That's how you use it. A lot of people use it at their desks. There's one right here
that's actually already done. This is like, it's got
pens, pencils, scissors. - [Lilly] I have like five at home that hold pens, pencils,
sewing tools, makeup. - Yeah, they're a great Christmas gift. I gave them to all my aunts and uncles. And then Emma, this is my daughter, Emma. Hello, Emma. I'll put my feet back here. I'll put the sewing machine feet back here so I don't lose them. So, we wanted to let you know that. And we did get to borrow
a quilt from Pam Buda. It is a block of the month that we're offering for the future. She is the fabric designer
and the pattern designer. This quilt is huge. So, I'm gonna try to show
it to you in increments. Look how big it is. This is a fourth of it. Like you'll see. Where's Ashley? Let's see. Can you see it? - Yes.
- Okay. I can't go any higher. - [Lilly] I think if you
grab it from like the, like a quarter of the way
in and then lift it up. Do you know what I mean? - I gotta catch my breathe. - Today's workout.
- I know. My back, oh. Okay, this is the centers, okay. And I'm gonna show you
the custom quilting also. So let me put it on the table. And I'm gonna show you
how they did the back 'cause they did a label on the back. Oh, Ashley's gonna come help me. Thanks. I didn't even think about this one today. So this is custom quilting. Look how beautiful that is. So they custom quilted each block. I'll show you the center. I'm gonna show you the back and then I'm gonna show
it to you better again. So I would say this would
be a advanced quilt. That's probably your next question. But it's definitely advanced and this would be great
for triangle paper. And this one she pieced with rectangles and half square triangles. You could do bias if you wanted. Okay, let me show you the label, which I think is right here. I just saw it. I just saw it right here. Let me show this real quick. So, let's see. Okay, so she has a solid backing. She has a label that she
made on her computer. She printed it out. She added borders to it. And she, instead of top stitching, she hand-stitched this down on top. So you could do what I
did and top stitch it, or you can hand stitch it down. So that's another way to do a label. - [Lilly] Can you remind
us who designed it and pieced it, please? - Okay. Yes. Okay, I need to go this way right? There we go. Okay. There we go. Okay, so it is Forever
More Block of the Month designed by Pam Buda, and she pieced it with Debbie McClarence. And then let's fold it in
the middle and go down. It's quilted by Crooked Creek quilting. It is 84 inches square. It feels like it's 120 inches square. The collection is called Forever More. And this starts shipping in January. And we sell it as a Block of the Month. The Block of the Month
includes the pattern. So pretty. Thank you.
- Thanks, Ashley. - It's so pretty. And let's see what else I have today. I have more. The Quilters Cottage Sew
Along just wrapped up. So thank you to everyone sewing that one. We have her next one coming up. I wanted to let you know that, you guys had requested
the rulers that I'm using. So we did a set of 2
1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 5 1/2, 6 1/2 Creative Grids. And it comes as a set. It is not discounted. And the reason why is
Creative Grids is a company that has a map policy. So any stores that sell it
have to sign an agreement that you will not discount in
any way ever on their ruler. So you can buy them
individually or together. And I thought this was really cool. I don't know if you've seen it, Lilly. But it's a desk calendar. Last year, they did a wall calendar. And this year they did a desk calendar. So you can put it on your desk. And then these right here, you can find these free
patterns on their website. Or some of them are not free. Like this one's not free,
but some of them are. Like this one tells
you quiltyloveshop.com. So the ones that are on
robertkaufman.com are free. And each page is a different Kona. And then it gives you ideas of quilts. I'm gonna show you all of them because I think it's awesome. I think it would have been a fun job to have this job to do the calendar. I don't think I'm
creative enough to do it. But I think it's really original. I'm gonna show this next week, Lilly, 'cause we're sold out of this. So I'm gonna save these. I'm gonna save those. July, there's a lot of blue. Look how many blues they have. This would be cool to have under your, you could write notes on it. But, yeah, you can see like
this is a violet craft pattern. So it gives you pattern suggestions. This is one of the most popular patterns out there right now,
this snowflake pattern. And then at the back, it tells you, if it's an
F it's a free pattern. And if it's a D, it's a designer pattern, and then it gives you the size, the designer and the website, I just thought this was pretty original. And then I wanted to let you know that we have this
classic and vintage quilt that we had done a while ago. And the classic and vintage
is actually this block here. The maple leaf right here. This is the block. Here, let me show it this way. This is the block right here. So we thought we could take some of the All Hallows' Eve and there's a bundle that's
called Orange You Glad. And we took that and we made it. It's a free pattern. We just thought it'd be way to show you what you could do at home. And Kate made this, and we do give you a piece backing option if you want to use the leftovers, because you guys have asked about that. So Kate made this. Mike from MyLongarm Quilt made it. It's 23 inches square. and it uses five fat quarters. And of course, if you
wanted to do it scrappy, you could use more or less. You know, you could do all one fabric. You could do more or less,
but it's just a free thing. And we thought we should show it to you. And then on our cross-stitch channel, which is called Fat
Quarter Shop Flosstube, we would love for you to go
over there and subscribe. This is our pattern called Hey Pumpkin. And we did a video on how
to make this pumpkin mug rug and how to finish it. And this is some plaids. And then we put some
Riley Green vintage trim, which is Lori Holt's trim,
and I'm gonna take it home. - [Lilly] Yay. - So, yeah, so that's kind
of what we have this week. I've been going two hours. I'm still happy to answer any questions. We are going to have
Tula Pink's new fabric. Lilly is gonna pop it up right now. She actually last night
came out with a second one. So right now we have the one up called Curious and Curiouser. - [Lilly] Curiouser and Curiouser, sorry. - Curiouser and Curiouser. We are pre-selling it. And Lilly will show you
kinda what it looks like. Tula has done some videos on her Instagram and Facebook showing it. This is kind of the overall look of it. There's also going to be a quilt
kit that has teapots on it. She also has a flannel line coming out and we'll have to show
you that another week, because that came out last night. Those are the two 108s. I think they're beautiful. And they kind of have the little Alice in Wonderland spade and diamond. And then those were kind of
the different color ways. So go back two. There. Okay, so that's one color way and then that's the other color way. And then the first image is all together. We've put that online. I did wanna announce our FQs
Scrappy September winners. And so we're gonna show you who won for participating in that challenge. I think I should've won
'cause I got a lot done. I was so proud of myself. So this is angie.paulio. And it says when I'm in between projects, I use my scraps to make random blocks and throw it all together. So that is great. And Cindyquilts1, she's also a winner. And emjeska_s_stitching. She got it done just in
time for Scrappy September. And Patty Monroe Fowl. That's really pretty. That is an It's Se Emma
Chantilly pattern, I believe. And this is SueAnn Suderman. So pretty. There we go, okay. And I wanted to give a
special shout out today to someone that really made
my heart happy yesterday. So Mary Williams posted
a picture of her son on Kimberly'S Stitch Squad. And I wanted to give him a big shout out. We think his name is Joshua. We looked it up, did some digging. And I want to read this to you because this is what this
live stream is all about is to make people happy. She put, I'm including a photo of my son, so you can understand why
this picture is special. He watches the FQS videos with me and we just love Kimberly and Lilly. He drew this and pointing to the TV and said it was Kimberly. He's an artist and uses the
computer to draw and talk. But he loves to draw with his hands even though they're not as polished as his computer drawings. He uses a joystick mouse
and software to draw. It's a struggle to hold pens
and pencils, but he loves it. And he loves life and Disney. Okay, hold on. He loves life and all things Disney where we go several times
a year before the pandemic. He says Kimberly is a very nice lady. And because of his nonverbal status, I can tell you that he is spot on with his observational skills. I wanted to share, but go ahead and delete if it should not have been posted. Of course he wants you to post this. So we hope that he sees this. We want to give him a shout out. And I would love if he
mailed me the drawing, because then I could take a picture of it and we can hang it in my office. - [Lilly] That's very sweet. - [Kimberly] So that was
just so special to me. And so happy that she shared
that in our Facebook group. - [Lilly] Sorry, there we go. Wrong button. Okay. And yes, we have several questions that were coming in
during the live stream. From Sherry Sites. Oh, this was a funny comment. She said, I had my son pick up 48 cans of Faultless starch at his Walmart because I could only
find one at my Walmart. - Oh, that's a lot. I don't think I've ever seen that many. They usually have 12 at
the most at my stores. 48, that's like a jackpot. - [Lilly] From Ashley Kabbalah. Hello, Fat Quarter Shop and everyone else. In need of some advice. I recently moved and had
my large Creative Grids cutting mat in my car that
got warped from the heat. Any suggestions on how I can get it flat? - I don't think it's fixable. I think it's probably recyclable and junk and you probably have
to throw it away, I'm sorry. I don't think anybody has ever been able to get one of those flat. I mean, you could try heavy books, but I think once they warp,
they're kind of a goner. - [Lilly] Janice Hopper was asking, can you attach a label
after it is quilted, say under binding and then
hand-stitch the other sides? - Yeah, you can. So if you look on the back of this, there are people who sell woven labels and they're long and rectangular. I've used them plenty of times, and you could put it in right here with the raw edges underneath
and stitch over it. You could also hand stitch
over just a regular binding, I mean, regular label, if you wanted to. - [Lilly] Okay, and then some Super Chats from Catherine Gains. Catherine gave us $10 saying for all you do to make us smile. - Thank you.
- Thank you so much. And then we had another Super
Chat from Chanel Winekias for $5, and Chanel says Kimberly
and Lilly are a great team. - Thank you. - [Kimberly] And we had
a new YouTube member, Monique Robinson. Welcome, Monique.
- Thank you. - [Lilly] And oh, another
new YouTube member. Beverly Havvider. Welcome, Beverly.
- Thank you. - [Lilly] And then we had a Super Chat from Kim Fuller for 4.99. And Kim says, thanks for all you guys do. It's my fun day. - Thank you. - [Lilly] And then Karen Collin was asking if we could
explain the Super Chat and any rules for us newbies. - So a Super Chat is just
like a virtual tip jar. You don't have to do it. We're getting so many and
we really appreciate it. But it's definitely not, you
don't have to pay for anything. You can just, if you ask us a question, we're gonna answer it any way as long as we see it come through. It's just like a little tip jar. It uses all the equipment up here. Like the other day, Lilly bought a remote
control or something. I mean, it buys all the
equipment that's in here. - [Lilly] And then Diane Call,
when I went up there earlier, it was saying that we need a Lilly emoji. I think we need like your
face and my face as emojis. - Who's gonna draw that?
- I don't know. - Okay. - [Lilly] Maybe, maybe Kat? I don't know. - Yeah, you could just
ask Kat if she can do it. I don't know if I want
to see mine, though. - [Lilly] Let us know in the comments for YouTube members if that's
something you guys would want. Sonya Dewey. Oh, she was asking what my shirt said. It says Aladdin. - Oh, Disney Aladdin. I've never even seen that movie. - [Lilly] That's hilarious. And then Laurie Holt had said, I applicate a label on the
back after quilting sometimes. So Laurie does it, so it's all good. Yeah. - So guys have a great week, and hopefully next week I will have something else fun to show you. Have a great weekend. - [Lilly] Bye.
