[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] good morning guys it's june 11 2021 i'm kimberly jolly from fat quarter shop and i'm here to show you lots of stuff today so i'm going to kind of give you a summary up front so you can know what you can look forward to in this live stream because we have a ton of stuff we're going to start off with social lights block 35 which is our free sew along we're going to do a scrapbook of quilts du bois debut sorry we're going to do a tabletastic trunk show i'm going to show you all of the stuff i've been working on we're going to show you some moda and riley blake groups that are going to be coming out in the fall i'm going to show you designer mystery 2020 since it has shipped to everybody and give you a sneak peek of designer mystery 2021 that is about to start i'm going to show you a lot of patriotic quilts and i'm going to show you what's new at fat quarter shops so thank you so much for joining me and we're going to just jump right into socialite since we have so much so i have all the social lights in the in my little binder and we're on block 35 the the best thing about this is we are almost done this is the second to last block so if you joined me at the beginning of the series i showed six inch blocks and the middle of the series i showed nine inch blocks and the last two i am making in the three inch size just so that you can since we have it free in three six and nine you can decide what size works for you but by showing you all three i can give you just different tips so today's block is called compassion it's designed my by my dear friend ann sutton that we all love and i'm going to show you her block she made all three of her blocks in porcelain and of course she put her little vintage buttons and it looks great so that is three sisters fabric it looks great my blocks that i made previously are in homestead with a white on white skew that we're going to get back in stock next month and what i'm going to be doing with these is when we're done in a couple of weeks i'm going to turn this quilt the three inch into a quilt six inch into a quilt and the nine inch into a quilt now we have finishing instructions for all of these it's going to be completely free and i'm going to auction these two quilts off this quilt i will keep just because i need to keep something as a reminder of what we did in the first socialites these two will be auctioned off with 100 of the proceeds going to make a wish and we have raised 77 000 now for make-a-wish so that is so amazing so thank you to everyone for that this block is the easiest it's obviously basically a version of a nine patch and it is great that it's easy because next week's is not as easy so i just want to thank everyone for sewing along with me and joining me in this journey so i'm going to move these aside and today i'm just going to use these two fabrics i've just got a bella solid color 200. and i have a figs and shirtings fabric and this is just some layer cake squares so what i'm going to do is show you how to cut the three inch size and when we're making the first step which is the half square triangle if you are making the three inch block i would use h100 triangle paper if you're doing the six inch block i would do h 200 triangle paper and if you're doing the nine inch block i would do h 300 paper and our h-100 actually comes in two versions you can buy pc 100 which is this one and it will just be a long strip of single squares and this is we made this so that it would fit with jelly rolls so we've got that version we also have the original version which is four squares wide so whatever works best for you i'm going to just use this because it's easier and you can see we just need one square so there's a couple things you can do here when you're working with triangle paper you can you can do two things the first thing you can do is just cut this exactly on the line and assume that this line is straight or you can do this now it's wasteful but when you trim it out you can see all four of your lines and because of that you will have a very accurate half square triangle so i that's not what i always do i just thought i would show you that today since sometimes i do that so i have my fabrics right sides together and i'll just cut off a little corner here put a little pen and if you want to make the half square triangles the traditional way that's how we wrote it and i just always use triangle paper at home i have ever since i started so i just on the videos like to show you what i do at home but we don't require you to buy anything because we write it this way the other thing is for b and d our background needs four squares but our print only needs three but to save time i'm gonna cut four of each and just have one extra and then my extra one and a half inch square i'll put in my scrap bin so since we need four one and a half inch squares if i cut a three inch square i can get four out of that so i will get my ruler that's the three inch and this is a directional print so i will make sure that my ruler is somewhat straight instead of doing this now you could do that but um i'm not because i don't want to mess with the bias so i'll i'll line it up as straight as i can and i'll have a lot left over now you see i just kind of veered off but if you rotate it now usually i would use a rotating mat but i didn't think about it and i usually cut two sides at once so this is a three inch square i'm gonna actually use my rotating mat so since i need four one and a half inch squares i'm gonna put my one and a half inch ruler here line up here and here cut and since it moved i'll cut these each separately sometimes it'll stay together but since i did it that way it probably wouldn't so now i have all the squares i need now for the print i only need three so i'm going to take this one away and i can save that and put it in my scrap bucket that i have at home and i have everything cut and i'm going to go ahead and start laying this out on my design board so that when i have my half square triangles done we can put it on the board and you're going to see that this print is directional right here so we might change the placement of that in a little bit but we're gonna just see how that plays out when we finish these two so from here on the dashed lines we're going to stitch with a really small stitch length like a 1.5 and we're just going to stitch on that line and that line i am using aurifil thread color 2000 and a small stitch length and it is really important to stitch as close to that dotted line as you can or dashed line dotted whatever and one thing i want to show you here is i stitched past the line here and here and a little bit past the line i don't start right here that way when you rip off your paper you're not going to rip off any stitches because you've got some extra security from here i am going to use my rotating mat and here i'll use a smaller square i probably use my two and a half inch square i use the square rulers quite a bit and here i'm going to line up the right side and the top and i'm going to cut and that is a way to get it exact now you can see i'm right on that line so you can either cheat with your triangle paper and cut a little bit extra or just do it the way i usually do it i just thought of that and thought i might want to show you that that's how i used to do it but now i and from right here you can see i've got a little bit of extra white showing which that's going to make it too big so i'm going to just trim it a little bit more and that looks better and i love playing with small fabrics that's one of the things i love about quilting is you can some of the quilts that i show you that i sew at home are big some are small and i try to base what i'm going to do based on the feel of the design and the fabric and the print from here i like to this is not a must but i like to fold my paper back and then when you pull it it's just going to come off a little bit easier and i'm going to iron these and on this one for this series we're pressing everything open now if you're not going to use this in the setting that we have you could just press to one side it's up to you but i will say when you're working with three inch and six inch blocks you will have a better result if you press open because your block has an easier time lying flat so what i like to do is let that sit and then i'm going to cut these little thingamajigs off i think they're called dog ears but i just cut those off before i press open and i will show you one thing okay so if you're pressing if you're cutting this say you cut like this and you don't get all of this off this is going to add bulk to your block that you don't think is going to matter but it is so then i'm going to clip that so make sure when you're when you're clipping off all your seams that you do um get the whole thing or it's just going to mess up your quarter inch seam from here i'm going to press these open and then press that one open and you notice that i left that other block right under my iron and you can put this little clapper on it and then come back to your design board and then we'll see okay so this now you see these go this way these are horizontal and these are vertical so all i have to do is do this so now everything looks the same you could change this block by doing this you could also have this one go a different direction and then that looks crazy but there's a lot of different things you can do with this block you could also if you wanted to you could make it a darker block and that kind of gives you a bow tie like like a little sweet water taffy candy in the center or you could do this so there's so many things you can do and that makes it look kind of like a circle but not really so i'll go back to um the original let me go back to the original but there's a lot you can do with it always feel free to change a design make it your own make it look you know if you're going for something where you want more dark rather than light you can change it okay so it looks correct everybody let me know if it's correct what i will do here is i like to chain piece so i'm going to chain piece down here stop and chain piece down here and when i say chain piece i just mean that i leave a little bit of stitch between and i do not cut it apart and then as i do this i'm going to answer some of the questions um katie says when this ends it's like finishing a really good book that you never wanted to end oh thank you we will have another one and 20 22 and we kind of picked the fabric well we did pick the fabric and it's going to be amazing would you recommend that we start your binding yes this has been the best sewing time i've learned so much my techniques have improved thank you kimberly for all your time well thank you for watching i'm honored that all of you watch it's just amazing that you'll even think what i do is is um interesting so from here i kind of keep this right next to my sewing machine and i'm just going to stitch down here now before i stitch i will change my foot away from the quarter inch from the open toe foot oops i just pulled a bunch of thread on accident let me cut that off and then i'm just going to use a quarter inch foot i like to use a foot with a guide on the side that's my preference some people don't like that and sometimes i'll just tighten it with my fingers sometimes i'll tighten it with a screwdriver just kind of depends so i'll just feed this through sometimes if you're working oops okay this sewing machine is not my friend lately it keeps on threading um some people prefer to not pin when they're doing small blocks just because it's smaller so do whatever works for you i do pin even though it's small i will pin and here my stitch length is too short so i'm going to change to like a 1.5 and i try to not sew over the pins and right before my needle hits my pin i slide it out and from here i am going to just finger press these open and we'll press all of this at the end and i will just use this little magnet put these right sides together now and just keep going nadine is asking am i going to do susan aki's sampler spree quilt along yes i am and i i can bring and show the fabrics next week that i'm going to be using are you making a quilt with your three inch box or three inch blocks or pin cushions okay so i made some pin cushions and that's what i'm going to make with them and i showed them two weeks ago can you get the same accurate cutting with the triangle paper if you don't starch yes could you do what lori does make a block and put the corners on after the block is together yes you definitely can you can do whatever works for you and if you did that you would just cut a one and a half inch square actually no let me see you would yeah you would cut a one and a half inch square draw a line and then add it that's the size you would cut oops good morning from san antonio could you give us tips on how to use the larger larger triangles on a roll and how to pin so the paper doesn't shift yes we'll add that to the list and later in the summer when i have less content i will do that so from here just kind of make sure everything's going the right direction and we're going to iron and again this is block 35 compassion designed by ann sutton part of our socialites program that's completely free because we do like to show you a lot of content that's free so what i'm going to do here is keep this out of the way flatten that press to i'm just going to press to one side to start and then go to the next batch make sure it's nice and flat there's nothing wrinkled unbelie and below me or below it is that just batting you put binding around i have no idea when i bind so when i bind i have some binding videos that you can watch and i think that will help you so just go on fat quarter shop and look at our binding playlist and that will probably give you a better answer now i'm going to press them open are there different layouts for the different size blocks no we're offering one layout but if you join kimberly stitch squad on facebook some people have done different layouts and you can lay out your blocks however you like but we're just giving you one we're giving you 36 free blocks and one setting can someone remind me what pins kimberly uses well i'm going to show you some new pins today that i'm going to switch to but what i have been using is clover 2508 later in the show i'm going to show you some new pins that i think i'm going to start using this weekend and bonnie is saying her favorite block was a tulip so that's great and the top question about smoke and rust i'm going to answer in a little bit just keep the iron nice and flat now from here you're gonna we're gonna pin stitch and then pin and stitch so what i like to do no matter what kind of block it is i like to always pin on the left and the right because that kind of just gets it started gets its stable light stabilized and i'm going to cut the little threads that were between you don't have to but if you're going to press open you do have to so from here i just let me move the iron out of the way it's a number of myself so from here i'm just going to make sure this matches up so you can see my seams match and i'm going to put a pin right in there and straight do i have an update for the may so sampler will we receive may and june this month so we send newsletters i would refer to those not everything has arrived for the may or the june so they will ship separately and they will ship the second the items arrive so from here we're just gonna stitch and then just pull the pins out i feel like my stitch length is a little long so i'm going to adjust it down and i'm going to do the same thing on the other side and it looks like everything matched up now if you're sewing and this seam didn't match up it really doesn't matter because it's all white so it's not going to really matter someone is asking from montgomery alabama is it okay to use starched and unstarched fabrics together if you're not gonna ever wash the quilt it's fine but if you're gonna wash it those will shrink at different rates because the starched fabric will have already pre-shrunk from the starch and your unstarch will shrink so you will have a different different pieces within the quilt that shrink differently and then bonnie's favorite block was the tulip mine too that's really pretty socialites was my first quilt along and i was self-taught on the skills i had now i have lots of experience on cutting and choosing fabric everything has helped me and i love my hobby thank you for watching [Applause] and that looks nice so we're going to do a press and then an all-over trim just wondering when you sew with the jolly bars do you use the peaks or valleys you would use the peak of the fabric so again set the seam press to one side crafting a plan life is asking about lori hold gingham i think it's going to be september we can put that on the list to follow up with next week and we'll ask riley blake for a further update but i believe it's going to be september good morning i can't believe socialites is almost over i have enjoyed watching every friday you guys are amazing thank you and we will keep doing content even when socialites is over is there going to be a new social lights it will but it will be in 2022. i've challenged myself to sew the three-inch blogs i'm pleasantly surprised yay and kathy doesn't want the sew along to end oh i think it's gonna be great when it ends so at least we can put our blocks together and feel that accomplishment after such a long time of working on it any update on shine on block them up yes it will be shipping sometime next week it might be the end of next week first timer for alive you are awesome oh thank you so from here it's a little crookedy right there you can kind of see it's not exactly like you could put it on my little kimberly cut mat and it's when you put it on the lines look over here it it dips so it's not exactly straight so what i will do this is a three and a half inch block there's two things you can do you can either put this creative grid's three and a half inch square and trim around but i don't do that that's what i used to do and then i messed up a couple of blocks what i like to do is go side by side and i'll just use a ruler slightly bigger than the block normally i would use the four and a half but i have that saved for later in the live stream and so when i after i do the first when i rotate i'm going to line up the top and the side now so that it will give me perpendicular lines and my goal here is not to trim the block down my goal rather is to just get any of the leftover strands of thread and my block if you look at it it's three and three eighths it's not three and a half so it's an eighth of an inch too small it will be totally fine in the end i do want to show you this one i hope i'm gonna move the snow machine real quick but okay so if you look at this this one that i did at home came out exactly three and a half this one that i did on camera is three and three eighths i did the same exact technique but i'm obviously more accurate at home in my surroundings and i don't know how i got that so exact so don't worry i see so many people worry about their blocks not being exactly three and a half or six and a half or nine and a half it doesn't matter it's all gonna work out in the end and to be honest i don't ever measure when i'm done the only reason i did it here is just to kind of answer that question that i keep seeing because i don't want you to feel bad if your block is not exactly three and a half because it doesn't have to be it will work itself out and i will give you some tips when we do our finishing video on how to pin and how to make it if so for example if we were sewing these two together i will give you tips on how to make the long and the small like the bigger one and the smaller one fit together and i'm going to answer some more questions will you be getting any seems so easy guides in the future yes they are going to be september october because um they're being made right now any update on lori holds granny chic bundle september what does peak and valley mean i can show you okay so we're going to pretend this is open i don't want to open it right here when the manufacturer makes this they use a very small like a jagged edge i guess it's a cutter it's a metal cutter now if they cut this perfectly straight which is what they used to do a long time ago your fabric would ravel and it would look horrible trust me you don't want that so they use a very small line so when you measure this you want to use all the way to the peak which is the outside of the triangle not the valley which is the inside of the triangle and it will work because you just use the outside edge as your piece what did i cover my ironing board with basically just some white fabric um good morning from puerto rico good morning thank you so much for sharing the beauty of piecing thank you we will miss you i'm not going anywhere i will still be here every friday i'm not going anywhere good morning from oregon do you have a date on the seems so easy yes september october will there be a liberty box yes there will and it is we're going to call it a patriotic box because the items might not arrive before july 4th but we will still have it will you get more of the spring brook i wish i could it's discontinued have you started the american gatherings well i'm going to go over that soon i'm going to move to a scrapbook of quilts where we talk about this brand new book so we own it's so emma which is named after my daughter and we publish books and that's probably my favorite part of the business so i want to show you the cover and how it looks the paper is awesome and this is a book by joanna figueroa of fig tree quilts and carrie nelson she works at moda now but she did have a company called miss rosie's quilt company and if you want to see every quilt in this book if you look at our video on the fat quarter shop youtube january 22nd 2021 you will find every quilt and i'm going to flip through so you can see the beauty of it and show you a couple of highlights one of the best things about the book is joanna and carrie talk about color what vintage means to them neutrals figuring out what you like there's a ton of information in this book that will help you especially if you're a beginner and each of the sections is by color so the very first block is the vintage spool so they take the vintage spool block and they do different versions of it so we've got joanna's version [Music] and then carries version and so each block that they're featuring has different versions it also has a sewing machine cover some pillows there is going to be a pillow sew along all the information will be released by today or tomorrow you can find that information on the jolly jabber blog on carrie nelson's instagram or on joanna figueroa's block blog or instagram or facebook the second box the second block is the nine patch and button block and then you have carries version and joanna's version now their versions are not the same even though they look the same they're not going to be the same there's a different layout to them there's lots of pillows pin cushions i actually showed pin cushions that i made with these exact instructions a couple of weeks ago and i used my three inch blocks from socialites that i just showed you to make some and they're already back home so this section is oregon trail and on this one joanna is really good at making she likes to do where you just make the templates and you just cut the fabric according to the template i am more of a person who needs a template set so we made these selfishly for me because this will help me make this bloss but you don't have to buy this template set because in the book we give you a template and it's right here so you can trace it you don't have to buy anything extra this was more of a selfish product so that i could be more accurate because i'm much more accurate with this rather than a book template so this book is chock full of quilts and there's going to be a fun pillow sew along and i am so happy that we were able to publish this book it was a ton of fun and it's a beautiful book i just want you to see up close all of the detail that joanna and carrie put into it hours and hours of sewing and thank you to sarah price who put all this together and all of our proofers we do put in the book it will tell you who made the quilt who designed it who sewed it who quilted it so if you are part of that thank you also and there's also a credit in the beginning to lots of people who help make this book happen i love this quilt and you know like in a couple of years maybe we'll do a neighborhood sew along but you can see that this book is amazing so i just wanted to show that to you since we've already shown you the quilts i did want to show you the book the template set and a couple of other things i have something super exciting to announce we were able to get access finally to these little house pens for years i have had customers ask over and over and over for that can i have some of my regular pins and then i'm going to show a demo but we have been trying to get these pins forever and we finally figured out how to get them they're made overseas and you get there's three to four let's see five different colors of the head so there's like red green white blue green and these the reason we got them is in the book carrie and joanna both have a section where they list their favorite pins well these are both of their favorite pins now they did put a second favorite but i'm going to move to these pins and i'm going to show you why they come and you can store them in here so that if you go to a retreat or something and i didn't put them in here very good because i didn't have very much time but i'm going to pull one pin out and i'm going to show you [Applause] so the biggest thing about any pin that you use i don't care the cost i don't care anything the biggest thing is you i prefer a pen that is super thin if you have a really thick diameter pin when you put it in you're going to have all kinds of big holes here and you see you don't see a hole there now because this pin is thin now i have these pins this right here same diameter but look how much longer these are so i'm going to try the little house which is on the left and see if i like them better than these because everyone like even ann sutton these are ann sutton's favorite there's so many of the moto designers favorite pins and we now have access to them um so i'm super excited that we have something different so i'm going to try these out this weekend but they're super thin if you ever want to know if your pin is too thick when you pull your pin out if you see a bunch of holes then you know that your pin is too thick and i do feel like if it's too thick for example say it's super thick i could maybe bring some next week that are super thick if you put that in and it's too thick when you're going over it it's just gonna distort your fabric because it might shift your fabric too much because it's too thick so i'm super excited about this this is amazing amazing and then there's a couple other things that we also did joanna wanted a cutting mat and she wanted something super small she wanted her specific color and she wanted it to match the book so this is the size she came up with and i am so excited i've been using this actually for months it's called the vintage strawberry mini cutting mat it's double sided and it is so cute so one side is her peach and one side is green it's very thick and i've been using it for months so super excited that we were able to do that along with the pins and then there's two other things that we also did one of the biggest questions that we get if we have a project so when when you're a new quilter especially is you you're say you're a very new quilter and you have very little experience and you want to make this quilt well this is a scrappy book so it's hard if you aren't a collector of quilts and have like a ton and ton of fabric where you can just pull from your scrap it's going to be hard to put these together so we asked joanna to put together some of the colors she used in this book so this is a bundle called figs and shirting scrapbook of quilts starter so this is a starter bundle this is not going to give you enough color to make it 100 scrappy like this but it will get close and then we also had her put together a background bundle so that there are two bundles to kind of get you started but if you want to just use one background we made this separate so you wouldn't have to buy this if you only want prints now there is going to be one other bundle that is put together by carrie it we will show you in live stream when we make it it will be available in july all of the fabrics have not arrived yet so now i'm going to answer questions and go over super chats and thank you to everyone for watching our first super chat is from carmen maldonado thank you so much and then valeria said hello everyone kimberly i miss you yay i missed you guys too and then judy said for june and all of the fqs great people thank you and then valeria bauer said you are amazing thank you and we have some uh new members and they are marianne lucas selena smith and selena says thank you for making me a better quilter kimberly and then deb says agree with selena thank you so much for making me a better sewer i always miss your live streams well thank you i miss you guys too and then we do have some new members will go over there are ruffles and tina wolf and we'll talk more about um what they get the next thing i want to move well i want to answer questions real quick and then i'll move to the next thing can you make a sampler quilt from this book so it's it's we're not doing a sampler design where we mix and match the blocks but you could if you designed it this is more of a scrappy book rather than a sampler i bend pins if they're too thin what gauge are they yes i can tell you um i don't know where i put them hold on i think they're under this can you hand me that thanks it says right here so it says 34 milliliter is the length i don't know the diameter but i can tell you that the ones that i use which is i think c508 let me look real quick are they they don't bend too much yeah two 508 clover mine don't bend now if my needle runs over that pin it will bend and i just throw it away are you going to carry the new honor roll book yes and it is already online on our what's new page is the case magnetic no yay little house pins and scrapbook of quilts i'm happy yay when is designer mystery shipping it will be in the next two weeks and i am going to show you a tease from that later you are asked often and i apologize how do i order a whole bolt and get the discount order 15 yards and just put in the notes section please apply discount or you can just call us at 1-866-826-2069 and they can do that for you on the phone ingrid said when sewing why don't you put the large pieces at the bottom so it will be eased in um i'll talk more about that when i do my finishing but i make it easy in either way kind of i do it a little bit different than what some people do and that's okay are the fig tree mats on the website yes just type strawberry cutting matte what project will you be doing from the scat scrapbook quilt that information is coming out today there will be six pillows in the sew along and i'm gonna make all six pillows there will be a different theme that goes with each block and you can just check our social media for that cheryl johnson is asking how was crime con i will do that at the very very end i will talk about my vacation and crime con so that i don't annoy the people who don't care about that kathy says kimberly your triangle papers have been really great for helping me get my seams exact will you be making more in different sizes yes how do you fix a nine inch block but the stripe the strip are supposed to match but are off by an eighth of an inch or more um if you mean like a jelly roll strip i would just cut it down um i think it kind of depends on where you're at on the block so um will month three color guide of lori so by row be posted on the blog soon we can do that today we'll put that on our list to get done today if it's not already there and then my next part is going to be the tabletastic 2 trunk show so doug lico has a brand new book he has tabletastic one but he also just came out with tabletastic two we have a coupon code that you can use for 20 off your book and not only that if you buy if you're if you're one of the first to buy after this you can get a signed copy now

emma he has more control over his books he prints them at the same place that we print our books and because we have control we can add more content to our books and that's one thing that i'm very proud of with our it's so emma books and just make sure when you purchase the book you use the coupon code tabletastic2 just like the the bottom and we're going to leave that code up the whole time so that you all can remember it but one thing that i really am proud of doug for is he puts when you're buying a book sometimes you buy a book and you want to use one quilt out of there well this has 20 20 table runners and not only are there 20 table runners they're all in multiple colorways so there is something in this book for you because he has a ton of content in here he didn't just slap a book together and make 12 tiny table runners and one color he made 20 table runners in at least two colors so you have 40 options in this book i'm going to show you all of the table runners i'm going to start with regent street and you're going to see this taped over this is so you can't take the cutting but we want to show you both sides the first one i'm going to show you is called regent street and i'm going to move the table well i think we can take the coat off now because it's kind of in the way but what i'm going to do on this is i'm going to show you the table runner from left to right instead of holding it up so that you can see the detail of the quilting and the piecing and we're going to play a little game and the game is going to be called shout out the name of the collection so that everyone else in the chat knows what collection this is because these are all moda fabrics every one of these but i am not able to remember all of them some of them are new some of them are old so y'all are going to be in charge of figuring that out so this one is regent street this is obviously holly taylor fabric it is layer cake friendly and here's the back and in the book he does put who quilted it who sewed it and he designed all of them so i'm gonna let you find all of that out in the book because there's so much content i would never finish so this is the first one and the first colorway the second colorway is totally different and this is why i love doug because maybe you like red maybe you like blue same pattern totally different look same quilt regent street table runner and i'm going to go from left to right slowly this is a mix of prints and boutiques so you can see a print fabric of batik fabric and that is beautiful quilting and this one finishes at 16 by 48. the next table runner in the book is called willowbrook this one is actually you can use scraps actually all of these table runners because they're small could use scraps this one is written for either jelly rolls or layer cakes and this one i'm going to play the game with you this is basic gray christmas and he does have some tips in the book on creating this i believe if not i know there's plenty of um tutorials out there including jaybird quilts has a great tutorial on how to do binding with those um degrees different degrees and it's on her blog and it's free and here's the back on this one the next one i'm going to show i'm going to show you right there look at that look at that you got a christmas table runner you have more of a summer manly table runner this one finishes at 17 by 51 again it's called willow brook and if i'm going too fast or too slow you can you can let me know and this is a sweetwater collection it's called branded so i win that one that's one i know and that's the backing the next one in the book is called churchill and so this one is square and that's also what i love is you've got some rectangular some square some christmas some fall this one's 20 inches square and this one is a stunner i love it so this one's a square that's the front and this is the back and that's the difference so this one looks totally different than the other one and this one has a fun backing so sometimes when you're making a project and you have leftovers from the front you can put them on the back instead of going to going to fat quarter shop and buying a whole new piece you can use what you have and that's really really fun you could also um if you wanted to you could display this just like it is and put a big bowl on it and nobody's gonna know that it doesn't have um you know wasn't meant just put a big bowl on it and you still you can use it for two different two different things i'm gonna answer questions real quick just so that i can make sure i don't go too fast and i'm going to take a little drink because i'm thirsty um the beauty of table runner is that a majority can become a quilt nice runners and what is the discount code it's right on the screen i really love the ruler that doug designed yes let me show it to you here he has a mini simple folded corners and a regular folded corners is the winter lude book going to come available again we will order it today so if you're watching doug just send me some books virginia says is it possible to make all of your books with the coil or spiral binding i find it easier to use so that's an easy question to ask it's not as easy to do so first the way lori holt's books are she 100 developed that so i will only do that cover and that coil for her i'm not gonna do publish another author's books and do that for them because that's not their idea and i do really believe in staying original being loyal that is something that so many people don't understand but you have got to be loyal now every author gets a decision what they want they get to pick their paper their binding everything so each designer gets to pick so it is up to them to decide what look they are going for um okay so i'm going to keep going this one is called south fields and we think we're gonna play this game where do you think he came up with the names so we think they're all um either uk or london related i didn't have a chance to text him to ask this one's 15 by 45 and this one is also basic gray christmas so this is this is a really fun one i find this designed to be very original it's just beautiful because on a table you get a really big effect of that star and sometimes when you have a table runner especially in my house i put a lot of things on top of my table runners on if i had this table runner made which is this is probably my favorite from the book i would not put a table runner because the design just says it all there's not a repeat of the design and then this is the back again this one is called south fields this one is layer cake friendly so just showing you the difference this one is using a mix of primitive gatherings collections and if you look at this this would look great with blue stars red stars blue stars another thing you could do is you could do red white blue blue white red etc etc there's a lot you can do with the stars and the placement of the colors and the placement of this you could also do just like a flag has red and white stripes you could do all of this red and white and you could do all of the stars blue so there's so much you can do with this if you just kind of sit and think so when you're looking at any book whether it's published by doug or you know lisa bonjean joanna figueroa lori holt anybody you don't have to make it just like them you can do whatever works for you so that's the back so let's see this oops this next one is called cold chester and this one is yardage it's not pre-cut friendly so this one is more yardage and this is a fig tree collection and one of the things that i think if you're ever looking for a really nice cream background three sisters always has a nice assortment and this is a three sister quilt i win that one of course i don't know the name of it so i don't really win i only get one point instead of two right you could and you can see how he mixed the red and the cream but you could have done all of these red that's the front there is some really beautiful quilting in this book by the way some of these feathers are amazing this one again is 15 by 50. it's called colchester and oh actually i'm incorrect it is layer cake friendly so i messed it up okay this one i love this is just kimberly's house all over this is what my house looks like so it's amazing it is super scrappy and you can see on this one he really played with the backgrounds and really let the background speak so that it's just because you know sometimes we make quilts and it's just like one background and then bonus so this is bonnie and camille and the quilting on this is amazing so gina tell take note i want to do this quilting i don't know what it is but i love it so this is my second favorite okay the next one is called the abby and this one is square and this one is just yardage so this one is a holly taylor fabric 24 inches square so this one's a little bit bigger the other one that i showed you that was square was 20 inches this one's 24 inches and this is amazing i love this design because have you ever seen a table runner with flying geese that just kind of float and aren't just anybody can design something that's just flying geese blankies these float and that star is beautiful so this is a holly taylor fabric the name of the book for the table runners is tabletastic 2 it has 20 table runners and not only that there's a tabletastic one that you can also get and we'll make sure we have those in stock and this one is very fall i believe this might be joe morton or a very old blackbird designs i was not really sure but i love it so this is a great fall runner tabletastic too the designer is doug lico and this white right here i'm covering up the cutting this one is really fun it's called knotting hill this is a little bit more modern it is layer cake friendly and what i love about this is i feel like he took a really modern design and put traditional fabrics with it put one background and let all the fabric speak they look like birds flying and you'll notice that they look like the little beak they look like a little beak from the next block it looks you know to me that looks like a bird i'm not sure that's what he was going for but this is the back and that is the cute code that is good until june 16th 2021 20 off at fat quarter shop and this one is kansas troubles quilters fabrics and when you're looking at any quilt one thing that's really important to look at is the placement of not only your print fabric the placement of your background fabric and the placement and color of your binding because this quilt would look great with either a dark binding or a light binding either one but it will give it a different effect so that's kansas troubles fabric and that's the back and that one is layer cake friendly the next one is called harlington it is layer cake friendly and again he has shown two colors this one i believe is a deb strain fabric and this is one of her buffalo plaids and there's little christmas trucks now when you're doing a quilt like this these are very small blocks so i would plan to do something here that has a small print if you chop up a really large floral into something like this it's going to lose the effect so you can see he really selected a group with really small prints and that is beautiful and that would look great on a table just like that so you can always when you're when you have a table runner you can always use both sides again harleen 10 layer cake friendly 16 by 49 and this one i believe is urban chicks fabric it has a really fun backing that i'm excited to show you this one is layer cake friendly and what's fun about this one is they made some or doug made some large half square triangles and put it on the back to have a fun backing the next one is called park royal it is a charm pack friendly quilt that is 27 inches square now any of these that are really small and square would be great baby quilts especially for a newborn and this is the same collection i just showed you that's the deb strain christmas and again he used a small print because these are small blocks so i feel like this one that print might be a little big because your eye so if you look at that quilt where does your eye go right there because all of the rest are small prints and then this is the back same back he used in the other and same binding as he used in the other and the next one that's the same is modern and this one is the fabric designer is lindsay mccray this fabric is definitely one of the one one nine colors i'm not sure if it's color 52 or 53 but it is a cross weave and it is a little bit if you touch it it's a different texture than your cotton and again this is designed by doug lico tabletastic two all of this is moda fabrics and that's a great way if you have a fat quarter just put this is probably four fat quarters put together for your biking the next one is called belmont that reminds me of a horse for some reason oh belmont steaks that's what i'm thinking of this one is just using yardage not pre-cut friendly and this one is very amazing i believe this is basic gray fabric and beautiful it is 20 by 53 and the next version is batiks and on the back a great use of batiks so just a scrappy backing and a great thing to do when you are storing your quilts i'll just show you this real quick because this is how i store my quilts at home they go in buckets and i roll them up actually my kids do it i roll them up put them in buckets and i would have rolled this up too because this will cause a crease but if you roll them up you'll never have a crease in your quilts so your small quilts that's how i roll them up and keep creases out of them because i know when i bring them to work they don't want to see creases right they don't want to have to iron it so this is st james this one's 14 by 40. and this one's great because you can either use charm packs mini charms and in fact speaking of that you could use jelly bar which will be the same thing and this is the same group so he's used this one three times this is the deb string christmas and i i really like this one this would make a great baby quilt if you just did like nine of these vlogs same backing so that's a way to you buy some yardage you put it between several projects you don't have to don't feel like if you buy the by the fabric you have to use it once use it over and over and this one again is 14 by 40. and this is basic gray fabric another thing to make you think when you are doing a quilt what if you okay this is 14 by 40. what if your table is 15 inches wide instead of 40 you could easily add to the sashing to make it fit your table so if you're looking at a book and it has a size but it's not exact make it your own what can you do different if you need it smaller make the sashing smaller lots of things to think about the next one is called buckingham and it is fat eighth it uses four fat eights plus a little bit of yardage it is a 24 inch square quilt and it's very beautiful if you had a fabric that you were trying to fussy cut this is a great place that you could do that and i'm gonna look something up on this one because let's see okay the way he pieced these he pieced this with triangles instead of a square and a square so this is not a square and a square and a square and a square put together it's more of a long rectangular unit that you trim down to four and a half inches wide this is a great place you could put a focal print and then this is really pretty backing and i think the binding is the same fabric maybe and the next color version of that is right here it is definitely a fall collection it's either joe morton i think it's joe morton i'm gonna just throw that guess out there and hope i'm right and let's see that one again uses four fat eights the next one is called cotswald and it uses ten inch squares plus a background and we have this one that will be a kit so i loved this one so much when i was purchasing this collection that we are offering a quilt kit of this exact one now if you buy the kit the book does not come in it so you would buy the book separately and this is the christmas morning collection by layla boutique and this is the background from her collection and the fabric is delayed and will be coming in july and uh i will say this is one of my favorite prints from all of 2021 i love it i've used it in several things again 16 by 48 if i didn't say already and this one oh my gosh i mean doesn't this just make you happy this is fig tree i love it this is sabella solid i love this i love both of these these are oh my gosh maybe this is my favorite i love this like i this is totally going my house i totally need to go home this weekend and make this table runner because i love it it's beautiful and the back on that one is a grunge the next one is called yorkshire or your yorkshire either one because i didn't know which way to say it so y'all can let me know this is a 10 inch square friendly sorry this is layer cake friendly again christmas morning by laila boutique same background so on something like this where you want to make this one and the other one i'll give you a little hint if you wanted to make two table runners from the book and say both are layer cake friendly you buy one fat quarter bundle you'll get the same thing and you can just save money that way bye and these are great christmas gifts that's another thing to think about great christmas gifts and the back on this one's super fun these are cut up fat quarters the next one is tottenham i think oh wait no this one sorry i missed one oh okay tottenham tottenham totenham i don't know something ham so this is layer kick friendly this one's very big this one's 33 inches square so if you're somebody who has like a big farmhouse table or a circular table this would be great on that and it would make an awesome baby quilt and this this quilt has a lot of movement because you can see the hashtags kind of flow and this is the back this one is 33 inches square and of course say this says layer cake friendly but you have a fat quarter bundle well you have more than enough kevin would love this one kevin is obsessed with halloween ups and when i say obsessed i'm not even joking and look at that quilting oh okay i have one that i missed called yorkshire because i was just talking way too fast this is the second version of that where i showed the christmas morning i just got distracted because i was looking at that christmas morning fabric so much and this is another this is the grunge that i just showed you on another table runner so don't feel like you have to use a different backing on every single thing the next one is called norwood it's 14 by 38 and it is charm pack friendly and this is the same fabric i just showed you and another one so he might have used a bigger pre-cut and used it for and this is leftover layer cakes on the back you can tell from the size so if this uses 20 medium and dark five inch squares but if you used a layer cake you could cut that down for the front and then use this for the back and then the second version of norwood is more of a woodsy holly taylor look and i believe it's holly taylor and this is a grunge so don't ever be a you know when you're working with something don't feel like you have to have a white background this is gold tan it's beautiful the next one is called hamstead there's that word ham again they must have something with ham over in the uk this one is either layer cake or charm pack friendly this is a christmas holly taylor collection and this one looks a little bit more advanced so i would say the great thing about this book is you can he has traditional he has modern he has easy he has hard he has different edges different sizes rectangle square and then the next one has the same grunge and this is one of my all-time favorite collections all hallows eve by fig tree in fact i'm going to use this collection with a scrapbook of quilts in one of my pillows because i have saved a lot of that because i love it i don't love halloween like kevin does so i don't like the house to look too goofy so we have a little section in the house that we're like okay there's kevin and the kids goofy section and then my section is more of this and his office too he can do whatever he wants in his office i mean he can technically do whatever he wants anyway stratford this is 32 by 28 so it's kind of circular but not all the way it's 10 inches square now on this one i'm going to talk about the template in a second it is on the screen it is cgr60dia so if you want to make this and you don't want to use the template from the book that is provided for free another option is to use cgr60dia which is a krista moser ruler and this is the same fabric christmas morning but it looks totally modern now look at that that's amazing so again if you're decorating put a pillow put a put a put a um you could put a bowl right here and no matter when somebody's walking around your house from here they're gonna see one thing from the other side so you get different looks from where you walk in your house and then the next one's pretty modern it's totally different and i would say this i mean it's hard because it's bias but the beauty of this is you could probably do this i could probably do this quilt in an hour maybe two hours because there's not very many pieces so it's a hard because you are working on the bias but you get this beautiful thing with not really that many hours and the template is in the book this is manchester it is layer cake friendly this one's a little bit smaller at 12 by 34 holly taylor fabric and then the other one is fun and reminds me of crayola like a crayola box and this is ruby star society fabric so this is the spark or speckled or a combination of two and look at that quilting it's amazing you can always put table table runners on top of like a like for example if you have one thing that you can think about is if you have like a diaper changing station and you know you change your baby's diaper on it but you want to keep that piece of furniture later take that off and put a little small table runner on it you can still use it as furniture nobody will know because i did that that's how i know this is eden park 18 by 45 layer cake friendly and i love the simplicity of this this is holly taylor christmas fabric and that same backing that we've seen before the next version of this is wonderful this is american gatherings and i'm going to show you something totally different from this collection in a little bit and this is a way to show you that collection has a lot of backgrounds but it also has a lot of red white and blue well guess what this is what you can do with the backgrounds and this is a 12 119 which is a cross weave fabric and this one's a little bit lighter than the other one and this is lisa bonding fabric so ta-da that is 40 table runners so this is the name of the book it's called tabletastic 2 and i'm going to answer any of your questions that you have now um the layer cake friendly quilt was the first moda collection show i don't know the answer to that so we oh the first one that was layer cake friendly was regent street tottenham is how we say it but i like how you drop letters in louisville louisville louisville i think that i don't know yeah it comes from an old english word ham for a town or homestead or else and include closure or other ways otherwise isolated area of land okay awesome i'm glad i know that the octagon one you showed is it possible to increase the size probably not that would be really hard to do that's not an easy fix can you mix cafe and tula fabrics would it look right i'm not a modern person but i've seen several people do it and i think it would work because you just have to be careful with the color because tula pink is all very big and bold and so is cave so that would match but you just have to be careful because cave has a lot of black so you just want to make sure that the colors match is there a book that shows you how to use lori holt's so simple shapes a book maybe that shows how to mix and match so she does a lot of that free and all of that is on her blog and on riley blake's blog and she might have a book in the future anything with so simple shapes is applique and riley blake handles that portion of it i publish all of her pieced quilts what was the layer cake with wildflowers i don't know so we're going to hope somebody in the in the chat knows what you're drinking start hot chocolate and i have an iced tea right over there today's gonna be quite long so i need to be able to keep it going yorkshire is how it's pronounced down south anyway i like how you went how doug went from traditional to modern contemporary with the same pattern yes he puts a lot of time into his books and i always want to support that that would be a cute baby blanket with the blue green and pink is that fabric flowers for freya it might be it might be the subsequent line i'm not exactly sure kimberly you're breaking my bank i bought both books and some other items oh well i'm not done the live stream is not done yet but i'm not trying to break your bank i'm trying to really show you how you can get one book and get a lot of bang if you want to do christmas here you go this has got 20 things all your gifts for christmas you don't have to buy two books if i remember correctly south fields is a tube station south of the river thames times i don't know how to say that are there any rounds so there was the one that is more octagon but not round some of the table runners are jelly roll friendly but not many most are layer cake or charm pack let me look at the list again let's see one one one has one you can use jelly roll lori says yes my be happy book just became available for my so so simple shapes called be happy and you can find it at fat quarter shop.com and it's be happy with a b-e-e advice for beginner quilter with some sewing experience take our beginning quilt course that is on our playlist at fat quarter shop which project will you be doing from scrapbook of quilts i will be making six pillows scott from wisconsin love your channel how was your vacation it was great i'm gonna show pictures at the very end um oh my mom hi mom can i get the pin cushions from this book at your house tonight oh can i make the pin cushions from the yeah you can come over and make them and i'll

charity quilts um so you can see all of the things that we're trying to do to raise money for make-a-wish and i will be right back [Music] [Music] so now i'm going to move into all of the different things that i work on at home and what i like to bring to you guys every friday is a mix of looks and a mix of different things some of the things i show you will be paid patterns some of them will be free patterns it's just kind of a mix so i'm going to show you what released this week and i'm going to talk a little bit about it and refer you to where you can learn more about it so lisa bonding of primitive gatherings is introducing a brand new sew-along called american quilter's stitch along she released three videos on her channel this week her channel is called lisa bonjean and the first video is an introduction and her mission statement and she is raising money for hogs for heroes which is a wisconsin um veteran organization um fat quarter shop we donated 750 for that because we're we're sewing along so we want to donate also she has a second video on how to cut and make the stripes of the blocks so i'm going to show you block one block one is called the shoe fly block so her second video is how to make these stripes because you're going to make these every every week there are 20 blocks so you're going to make this 20 times so she's going to show you that once and then she has a block one tutorial and this is the block one and i'm going to kind of talk about some different things that i did so to start you'll need a fat quarter bundle so get your fat quarter bundle at fat quarter shop you're gonna need the whole thing i made it and i use the whole thing so that's great but you do have plenty to make this because i've made all 20 blocks now if you want to put the 20 free blocks into a setting it's on page 37 of the american gatherings book she's going to use this setting so it's the same block except with yours you're going to have different stars in all 20. so you will need the book for the setting and she is going to make this quilt four times and you're gonna see when she does it she's gonna have one that's dark one that's light with anchors and she's gonna have one with grunge she's gonna have lots of options so if your house doesn't have a ton of blue you can but i want to refer you to her because she is the designer and i'm just having fun with it so this is my block and i'm going to talk a little bit about what i did with my block and the tips that i'm going to give you today are a little bit different than the tips that lisa gave you just because she piece is different than i do and that's okay so she shows you how to make this block using triangle paper and how to make the block now i'm going to show you a couple things that i did so i downloaded the pattern there is a download for each star that will be coming out once a week and so right now this is the first pattern and this pattern also came out and this is like what i was talking about all your stripes now one thing i wanted to show you that i did do different than lisa and that's okay i just want to show you you don't have to do everything exactly the same okay i did not use these fat quarters i felt like these stripes were just too busy to put in the quilt so i didn't use these but i'm gonna save them and they would be great for binding on a future project so even though i didn't use them i will still put them to good use but i just didn't want to put these stripes in here now she did and that's great so you just decide what you want to do because you should always just do whatever works for you now i want to show you the second thing so this is my blog and i'm going to come back to that and show you something but i'm trying to give you a couple of tips here so i'm going to show you just each week i'll bring you something different and i will try to make it i will watch all of her videos and just try to make sure mine is different so that when you watch her you learn her way when you watch me you learn my way and you can decide what works for you so the first thing is i used aurifil 2600 when i pieced my quilt you definitely don't want to use white thread but this i tried a couple of different artful colors and came up with 2600 i felt like that worked the best when you are stitching i do it on my blog when you're stitching when you do this you should not see your thread if you see your thread color when you pull you've got the wrong color so that's one tip so i'm using 2600 i would just suggest a light gray i used h100 now i used this triangle paper but this is also pc100 same product packaged differently both by triangles on a roll so this is how i made mine same as i showed you in the socialites to go here and i got perfect results now the one thing my my big tip here is i can have my six and a half inch ruler please and a friction pin so my tip here and i'm gonna show you my tip for this also when you look at this block somehow it magically is exactly 10 and a quarter by 12 and a half but there is definitely a trick to what i did and so i'm going to show you what i did first i'm going to show you how i got this the exact size of block on every block it should measure five and three quarter by five and three quarter on all of your blocks she will have you put a different border size on sometimes it's the same sometimes it's different so when lisa stitches she just cuts the exact size and her block comes out exact but mine don't so what i did i added bigger borders so about half an inch bigger so you can see if you compare my two blocks i cut it bigger and then we cut it down now to cut it down there's a couple of ways you can do it with this pattern it is much harder than if it was a six and a half inch square because if it was a six and a half inch square you just put a ruler on top of it and cut five and three quarter by five and three quarter there is not a ruler that size so there's two things you can do you can fold your block into quarters now these are just creases this is going to come right out and i'm going to draw the line so you can see it but in in real life i would not draw the line but these are where you can i can feel my creases now like i said in real life i wouldn't but i want you all to be able to see it and we want this to be five and three quarters by five and three quarters so if you take five and three quarters and divide that by two it's two and seven eighths and so what i'm going to do is take a ruler and i'm going to do six and a half since it's just a little bit bigger and just slightly bigger so this is two and seven eighths right there so i'm going to trim it i'm gonna do two sides and then i'm gonna come back to the other two sides so i'm gonna flip the block find my five and three quarters and trim so i did this on every block and i had plenty of fabric left over now the same thing here i'm going to look at this line 2 and 7 8 this way 2 and 7 8 this way so put the top of my ruler on the top of that cut line so it's straight find my two and seven eighths cut turn it and then the same thing five and three quarters five and three quarters and your block is now perfect so that is what i would do with every star block now i'm not going to demo that every week but that's my tip for this week for the block use h100 add your borders i cut them it looks like half an inch bigger now you could go a quarter inch bigger but i like to just cut whatever so i'll just cut and whatever comes out now my tip for this is going to be complicated so i'm going to have a little sip of hot chocolate real quick before i tell you my tip what i did here i cut this wider so i did these a little bit wider which is what she also did in her video but when i attached this section instead of attaching it the exact size i left about half inch bigger i did the same thing here except i left about half inch here and half inch here came back put the 12 and a half inch ruler on it it needs to be 12 and a half inches wide so cut these two sides these two sides but you'll have a little bit hanging off here and a little bit hanging off here but that's going to give you that clean edge and if you want to be a little bit ocd you make this last strip wider that's a real pain in the butt but did i do it i sure did then it needs to be ten and a quarter inches wide so it's going to come out exact because this is longer now that's going to take some extra work and some real sitting down thinking that you might not want to have to worry about because these are supposed to be about three-quarter inches finished so that should be about an inch right there that's an inch and an eighth and that's how i made it fit is made that bigger that is a ton of extra work but i did it so i don't know if i 100 recommend doing that that's called ocd to the max but i did want to show yes you do have waste from that but i made use of my waste now when i was done i had some pieces left over and i'm going to tell you a little story about this okay i made the blocks and i made this one the wrong size like i have no idea how but i did i did it totally wrong but i'm not going to lose that and i'm not going to get rid of that let's see what size it is so it's five and a quarter no it's five inches finished but it was supposed to be it was supposed to be much smaller so i decided let me keep that and then i took some of the chopped edges of this off and put it here so this is a stripe that's going to go across my backing so i took the width of the quilt added 10 inches and that's the width now i will add fabric here and here later so these are just leftover fabrics this was left over from my stripes this is a label that i purchased from sweetwater i put it on i ironed it on like a muslin and just sewed it in and these are just left this is my mistake block because you don't want to throw that away so even if you waste you can always use it so sometimes i show you guys things and i think you'll think i'm crazy but you just have to make it your own and that's what i like to do and i like that this is already done okay so now i'm going to answer questions on that before i move to the next one i need the tip to make the strip straight and not wonky okay i am going to find my fabric that i just set aside that stripes and i'm going to show you what i would do thank you so we're going this is a fat quarter so my tip would be number one starch and there is a starch video on the fat quarter shop channel there there's a starch video on lisa bonjin's channel lisa bonjin taught me that method and came up with that method and changed how i do my starch so first this is starched oh the pattern's messing up okay sorry let me just do this then it won't mess up as much is that better so with this i would iron this make it 100 flat now i would cut a straight edge and just cut your strips now if you're joining your strips and they're not coming out exact you can you can cut them bigger and trim them down or you can alternate when you cut strips for example you could attach you would take the salvage would be on one side and this salvage would be on the other side so anytime you are trying to get strips to not be wavy alternating where your salvage is is going to help you because i don't know why but i just know it works and carrie from miss rosie's quilt company who is part of scrapbook of quilt she's the one that taught me that so that's a tip either make them wider and cut them down or alternate and i have no idea how to tell you why that works no idea i just know that ever since i started doing that it helps sorry if i missed but did you finish the mystery quilt yes i'm going to show it in a little bit what is the advantage of ordering be happy book over using the blog post the be happy book is just a summary of what is in the blog post for people who don't want to have to print that out on her blog and riley blake publishes that how can i sign up for the patriotic box i would sign up for our newsletter which is fatwatershop.com and just check it daily when making the stripes do you need to put them in any specific order or random i did random everything is random now what i did is with this fabric right here on the top camera i tried to keep these two fabrics exactly the same as lisa's one of the blocks i wasn't able to because i made that mistake and didn't have enough left over so there might be one or two blocks where i changed it but it was because of mistakes but this i did random so all of my blocks are different and i did try to make sure that they this fabric's not at the top and everyone this is not the top of everyone so a fat quarter starched is enough fabric yes you need the fat quarter bundle of american gatherings thames is produced is pronounced tim's tim's oh i was totally wrong can we get the snapshots patterns yes they're completely free on our blog so i will move to the next thing or actually i will save my super chats so valeria bauer thank you so much you sent another super chat you already sent one yeah piggy says thank you so this i just wanted to remind you that we are in the middle of our serendipity charity quilt along this is row six we've raised seventy seven thousand five hundred dollars if you want to join me you can look at monday's video which is june 7th 2021 it's labeled serendipity qal release 6. and i give you tips on putting the row together and another thing is if you check out another video that we did earlier in the series which is row 2 i show you how to make perfect flying geese with our flying geese paper so you can check that out that's from this monday and this collection is spring brook by cory yoder and this background is 48626-94 which is thatched so i got that done super excited the next thing i worked on is lori holt's red sampler quilt to long so we're gonna pop up her week eight first which was last week and since i wasn't here i didn't show you this is her three blocks from week eight the top left is winter star from farm girl vintage in the 12 inch size the top right is corn and tomatoes from farm girl vintage in the six inch size and the bottom is six inch heart from the mitten block from vintage christmas so those are her blocks and then i'm going to show you mine so this is the 12 inch winter star from farm girl vintage which is this book this is the second or third book that we published for her the next block corn and tomatoes is from the same book and then this is the heart block and we're going to just kind of pop up now her individual blocks and you can kind of see her individual blocks and then her fabrics and then we're going to come back and just you can just see mine and so mine look a little bit different i am going to be honest and say that i'm running out of red fabric so i have not been able to copy her as much in terms of fabric because i'm running out but i'm determined to not buy anything and then the next one's corn and tomatoes and so you can see that she has like a dark and then that middle is a definite contrast so i did try to do that here but i don't have that red that she has but i did try to do the same effect and then the heart block this one i really want to show you from the book so you can see how creative she is so i'm gonna pull this up in the book real quick so what she did here she purposely designed this to finish six and a half inches so that you could also use that as a six and a half inch block so even though it's a mitten that's where we got the instructions and now i'm going to show you all of her blocks from week nine which is this week the first one in the top left is called glsen it's from vintage christmas and all of this information is on her blog you do have to have the books the next block in the top right is maple leaf from farm girl vintage two in six inch size and the bottom one is kitchen window from farm girl vintage so you can look at her fabrics and now i'm going to show you mine now i'm going to tell you a little secret i had made these flying geese in a bigger size in a previous week and i made them with the fabric in the wrong spot so i had red here instead of white so i saved them and then used them this week so that's how i came up with this because i already had them made now she did a really cool thing that i copied which is the um let me think of what this is called chicken wire so she's got chicken wire here chicken wire here and then plaid here and so i did copy that i did a different fabric in my maple leaf because i didn't have the same one she had and then i did this one and i have something really fun to show you with that one so we're going to now flip back to her originals and then flip through each one and kind of compare to mine because that way you can see that you can get a beautiful block so her so that one she you can see i copied the chicken wire but i ran out of that i ran out of those other two fabrics so this is what i have is you know similar but different and then the next block she has is the kitchen window and this one was fun because it was so easy and so sometimes when you have an easy block it's really makes you happy because you have more time and i'm going to show you a trick on that block and then you'll go back and see mine i did the same thing i tried to do the same thing with the plaid and the last block is her maple leaf and i was out of that fabric so i would have made my block exactly the same but instead i used this heart fabric because i ran out but i am going to show you a little tutorial today that's going to kind of tell you how i get my blocks so perfect so if you're looking at the book i added here and cut down so we're going to show you from um we're going to show you a little pop-up of what i did well that is my stack of design boards so what i did is i did week eight all at once and week nine all at once which means i've cut all my fabrics now you see those flying geese are already made because those were the ones that i had made a previous week and then saved for this week because i made them incorrectly so that's kind of how i organize is just put it all through on design boards do three blocks all at once and then the next picture is going to be how i did this block so you see that big border on the outside i just cut bigger strips than i needed to from the instruction book and then put the appropriate ruler on top cut it down when i added the last round i made did the same exact thing bigger cut it down now did i need to do that to get a perfect block absolutely not but i did so i just thought that would be kind of a tip and then i do want to show you from this block a tip that i have is i used h200 to make the half square triangles and then the flying geese ruler oh no that's a different one sorry this one i used this paper from here this flying geese paper to make this and i had already made them a previous because i did it the wrong way so that's just a tip if to get my blocks accurate those are the two things that helped me and i'm going to now show you one other thing that i will be adding to this and then next week i'm going to show you all of the blocks together but a couple of weeks ago this was the block that lori had designed for socialites and it's nine inches so obviously that will not work in this quilt because this quilt is a combination of 6 inch and 12 inch blocks well i'm going to save it and i'm going to put this as the label on the back so i'm somehow going to either add my name at the bottom here or here i'm going to somehow work that in and so now i'm going to show you one more lori thing and then i'm going to take questions so this i showed you two weeks ago this is the so by row block of the month we still have a couple of spots left but not too too many so this is her book that she published with riley blake and she has free videos on riley blake's youtube channel and i just took my blocks and sewed them together and this is supposed to have embroidery but i don't know how to embroider so i'm going to go visit lori in a little bit and i'm going to take all these rose and have her help me either show me in person how to do it or just let her or her daughter do it for me so i just wanted to show that also so now i will answer questions will you be offering the red sampler bundle again yes but it will be september i had to special order a lot of it and it's out of print christmas morning is the moda collection it is by laila boutique so now i'm gonna show you something super exciting now this is called a lot of work right here this is called kimberly has lost her mind and thought she was going to be so cute and make this really difficult quilt so i'm going to just kind of talk about it a little bit before i open it all the way up this was a free mystery quilt called lbq mystery quilt 2021 lbq stands for laundry basket quilts if you would like this free pattern visit laundrybasketquilts.com backslash blog it's a free pattern the difference is her free pattern has all of these blocks at four inches finished i didn't think that was hard enough so i thought i should make mine two inch finished so i did and my quilt comes out to 68 inches my quilt comes out to 38 inches square hers is 68. i'm going to show you some three different pop-ups that are going to kind of explain my method of putting it together so usually on that wall i have all my rulers and you see those little black dots on the wall that's because the previous owners of our house had a black wall and my rulers have chipped and i haven't repainted it but what i did is i laid out all of my blocks and then my next photo shows that i chain pieced that entire thing together after i chain pieced it the next photo shows i started sewing a couple of rows so you can see that bottom row is sewn together i skipped a couple rows i just kind of started sewing a couple of rows together and then the last one i don't know maybe there's not a last one i think the last one is just here yeah so that's kind of how i was able to do it was just taking my time i'm very happy with it but it's a lot of work so this took me about at least six hours maybe eight it took a long time it took me quite a bit so these two fabrics now i decided to use the b cross stitch collection because on a ditch's blog she uses a lot of different fabrics and i didn't think that i was going to have the time to sit and try to figure out fabrics each week so i went with c745 and c747 cottage and then i'll just hold it up so you can see and i did cut my borders four and a half inches wide and i got that from lori i wasn't sure what to do i wasn't sure what color to put on the border if i should put the what the cream or the white or the cottage well the cream i wasn't sure if i should put the cream on the outside or the cottage so she said cottage and she said four and a half and i just always trust her now my back i do want to show you it's a hot mess that is not my typical work my typical work is this lace flat but i at the end of this was like oh my god i gotta get done so it's a mess and i did warn gina that it's a mess so she has been warned that she's not gonna get my typical perfect quilt she's gonna get this hot mess of a kimberly came back from vacation and it had to get done mess but i'm very happy with it i think it'll look fine once it's quilted now i have a couch in my front room that's this exact color which is why lori made the fabric i mean of course she made the fabric to match my couch i know she did she didn't really but she's been in my house so we're gonna pretend she did so um i know exactly where this is gonna go so i'm gonna give this to gina i'm gonna use the cottage fabric for the binding that matches i was thinking about using white but i asked lori and she said use cottage so i'm using cottage now for the backing that is 38 inches square so i did not want to have to buy two pieces and piece them together because i was out of time you know i just didn't and i didn't want to have to do a pieced backing so i bought a 108 inch wide fabric it's wb10232-blue it's also a lori hold fabric so because it's 108 inch wide i ordered enough to cut a 48 and a half inch square that gives me five inches all the way around for gina when she quilts it i took some of the leftover cottage fabric from here added a border i always just add just a bunch and then trim it down i folded it under using this hot hemmer ruler on all four sides and then i made my stitch length very long like a 3.0 and i did a change my thread away from 2000 to a pure white and stitched this down and it has my name and this is just a label from sweetwater and i use this little hot hammer ruler all the time and i think it looks great i think that you know the blue is not exact but it looks great and i'm so excited um and i did try to center this one time i gave gina a quilt with my label cricut and she fixed it somehow um but i'm very excited and this 108 inch is so nice it's soft and so the other piece that's left over i'm saving it and i'll use that as a back in another quilt and since we were showing lori's stuff i'll go ahead and show this this is last week's rbd block challenge which stands for riley blake designs it's called dizzy pinwheel by lauren brewer all of these blocks finish at 10 inches there are 16 completely free blocks from this program that you can find on the riley blake designs blog so we have 16 done only two left they're going to give you a free finishing and i will of course finish it and show it to you this is the prim collection by lori holt we did a blog we did a um instagram post or social media post that tells you all the colors i used and i did use the baby lock sachiko machine it's hard to tell because i used a very pale pink for these fancy stitches right here sorry i'm trying to make it where you can see sometimes when we zoom in it gets to so it's really hard to see but it's going to look really good when it's done so this is last week's block called dizzy pinwheel designed by lauren brewer who is a riley blake fabric designer this week's free block is called i heart quilting which of course we all do is designed by kelly fannin and you can see that i kind of i wanted to in every block have all of the colors i wanted to make sure i had pink brown and mint in all of them and so on this one i put the brown in the center and added a second color just because i did want to have that so very excited and i love um this this one to make my half square triangles i use h 250 for this one to make these two half square triangles i used h400 and we only have two blocks left and the finishing so that's going to be super exciting and i can't wait to make that so now i'm going to answer questions when you say how long does that include cutting yeah it includes from the second i get in my sewing room i watched a lot of oxygen oxygen has great programming on sunday nights and all day sunday so if you need to keep yourself busy with true crime oxygens on sundays is the best way to go did i search the backing no was i supposed to yes i was completely out of time i did not start the backing the mystery quilt is gorgeous but why two and a half i'm doing well to get four and a half inch squares kudos to you you know i make a lot of quilts and i don't really have space for more and more quilts my house is full of quilts so the smaller the quilt the better i can store it and the better i can find it so i've made so many coils i just made it smaller for space and plus with those small quilts i rolled them up and put them in buckets so it will actually have more chance of being displayed in my house rather than sitting in a cabinet so it's more of um just trying to make it work for my lifestyle i guess kimberly if you were going to buy one size of design board what would you get okay that size right there nope right there that what's that size 14 inches because it's not too big it's not too small for cross stitch i would only use the seven inch would you be able to show us the pattern you're doing for harry potter yes kelly fannin quilts google kelly fannin k e l i f-a-n-i-n and also google seriously i think i need stitches it's completely free it will pop up and i am determined to finish that quilt it will be finished before christmas oh teresa says i found myself watching bailey saryan i so blame kimberly i know she's so funny i love her i wish i could be that funny um i wish i could like sing like she sings do i need to buy the so simple shapes or all they templates in the book you have to buy them they are not templates in the book but i could be wrong lori can answer that because i don't know i don't applique so that's why i don't know you showed in a video different ways of doing flying geese and which you like do you know what video that was no but i i can do a video in the future that's like all the methods so the next thing because you know i've been sewing like crazy is june's a quilting life block of the month so every year sherry mcconnell of a quilting life offers a free block of the month this year she's offering 6 inch and 12 inch and last year i made it in six inch so this year i'm making it in 12 inch and the reason why is i just wanted to be different but i am using the flea market collection by lori holt and it has bigger scale prints so to be able to use that collection especially this background i needed to go bigger so i just considered that when making the decision so this is completely free she also has videos on that and the one thing that i did here is i used h300 triangles on a roll to make these i made sure to press opposite ways so i pressed towards my yellow towards my brown so they would nest so right here you see it nests and instead of using the paper i used the small flying geese ruler by eleanor burns because it made this size and it also made this size so one ruler gave me these perfect so i kind of the same thing sometimes i use our flying geese paper sometimes i use a flying geese ruler whatever whatever's going to be quickest but because this one ruler made both it saved time and then i'm going to just show you in case you haven't seen the previous ones this is block one completely free and you will see that i'm using a brown accent throughout this one was pretty tough february march april this one was easy i was i was loving this month because that was super easy and then may and on this one i rotated mine so that i had a circle in the center so mine is rotated slightly different than hers but i would encourage you to check out check her out on her youtube channel and on her blog and her podcast and i'm gonna answer questions and i still have a lot more so guys thank you so much for sticking with me i know this might get a little long so i'm not sure what you guys think of that so i'd love for you to comment and let me know would you prefer shorter or longer videos i would love to see a tutorial on how to add lori rickrack to quilt tops i think it adds a nice touch well you know what lori holt has a youtube channel and i will ask her to add that because she is a pro and i don't want to attempt something that i know is not going to go well on my end because i cheat and i have gina tell at the rickrack for me how is the dinosaur quilt coming i haven't worked on it but it will be done before christmas because the dinosaur quilt is going to be a christmas gift and the harry potter is going to be a christmas gift and then i'm gonna have to come up with two more but i will would you demonstrate how to use the hot hemmer yes i could actually do it well now i can do it i'll add it to next week how about that i'll make a i'll make a label i'll somehow remember that i'm going to make a label and i'll bring it and show you how to do it how is crime con perfect any time for happy father's happy any time frame for happy days fat quarter bundle i will add it to next week and get you an answer i don't know the answer to that so i'm going to show a couple of fun pictures before i move to the next thing i'm going to show you my little puppy he's not really a puppy no do you have crime con okay i'm gonna show crime con so this is me nancy grace joseph scott morgan nancy grace is awesome joseph scott morgan has written a wonderful book um called blood beneath my feet only watch it if you are really into true crime great people loved meeting them for like the second or third time let's see what else i have um that is justin on the left and aaron on the right they are generation y podcast second true crime podcast to come around they are actually the reason that true crime podcasts are popular because everyone is trying to kind of emulate what they do the next one let's see oh that's nate eaton so he is east idaho news reporter who has been following a very famous case and he has a really cute daughter and that is natalie holloway and that's i'm not going to start crying so i'm not going to say why that is dr phil dr phil was there a lot of people asked why dr phil was there he was there because he is a doctor and he talked about the psychology of evil he talked about brain chemistry structure and other things that can come into play and then i'm going to take another little break and then i'm going to be right back [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so guys i did want to mention that i did a video for our youtube members and that was posted on may 24th and it has a full collection it shows every piece of fabric and all of this these are moda collections that will be shipping in the fall of 2021 so if you want that detail why don't you click the join button underneath the video and you can join and see all of that i'm going to kind of pick these up and just kind of show you a little bit of what they are but all the detail is in that video this will be the strawberries and rhubarb joanna figueroa that actually is in

three different blues this is sister bae by three sisters this is love notes by laila boutique and i'll show you something in the sec it's just in a little bit with this this is petal power by me and my sister designs kind of goes back to their original colors this one is one fine day by bonnie and camille this is celestial by zen chic timber by sweetwater nocturnal by gingerbread there are two other collections that we were unable to get pre-cuts from from moda so on those you can find all that information on that video from may 24th we just if we don't have pre-cuts i don't have anything

these will be 108s and this will be a sew along and just a little hint she knows i don't love chicken so she made this where we can maybe work with some of her books buy the same kit and do something that's very lori kimberly combined so look forward to that i also wanted to show you daydreamer this is going to be a 108 inch wide this will be a future tula pink collection and there are three colorways so let me know if you have any questions on any of that but all of the detail is in the other video and i did get a comment i wish you would do the socialites on a different day than your friday morning live well we have heard that and we are considering doing that for the 2022 release i'm not sure we're gonna do it though because every day that i go live i miss taking my kids somewhere so it's really hard to do lives like for example this week i did four lives a week well that means that there were four days that i didn't take him at a dance so my family comes first so it's gonna have to be a family decision that's made and it's gonna have to depend on my kids schedule more than anything has anyone done tutorials for shine on no does the sashiko not fight with the final quilting pattern i don't know i'm gonna find out i got the idea from bev and bev from flamingo toes so i kind of just went with it and we'll see what happens okay so now we're going to show something that i haven't shown before which is super exciting i want to show 2020 designer mystery block of the month now this has shipped to the club members so now i can show you the full quilt now if you have not received your full shipment and you don't want to look just hide and what we're going to do it's is i'm going to show it on the table and just hold it up okay so here's the quilt this featured bloomington by layla boutique we had 12 designers designed the blocks we now have the pattern for sale if you didn't join us and mike from my long arm quilted this it's really pretty and then i'm going to show you the back so the back i ran out of fabric because when i was making this we were sewing from sample fabric so i didn't have enough so this is how i made it work so i sewed in and just made it work with what i had left so if you missed designer mystery then you can still get the pattern now let me tell you a little bit about designer mystery it's something very unique to fat quarter shop i came up with this years and years ago this is like our 14th year something crazy like that how old is emma it's probably like the 13th year um we are about to start designer mystery 2021 so it's a mystery and each month you get a block you can also buy the finishing kit and backing set separate it is going to ship in about two weeks we have a couple of spots left so if you want to get in this next year's program which i'm gonna show you right now um block one because that part is not a mystery then i would sign up because it's gonna sell out it always does every year so this year's this is block one sarah made this and um gina quilted it so this is going to be the colorway for this year and then in 2022 i'll show it to finish but i did make this and i think you're going to love it the designer on this one is layla boutique the designer on this one is joanna figueroa and then now i have a display of patriotic quilts that i would like to show you were coming up on july 4th so i wanted to show some quilts um and i'm going to show a combination of free patterns and paid patterns so this very first one is called fourth of july quilt as you go mini quilt this is a free pattern at fat quarter shop and a free video again it's called 4th of july quilt as you go so that's our first one the second one that i'm going to show you is a paint pattern it's designed by fig tree it's called stars and stripes forever and i'm going to flip it so joanna let us borrow her sample and so you can see how beautiful it is we think that this was made with catalina and scraps it's beautiful so if you want it looking for something patriotic that is a paid pattern by joanna figueroa and we're just trying to give you different options because you know flag day is coming july 4th is coming the next pattern is called stars and stripes it's designed by thimble blossom it is also a paid pattern this one actually is available both as paper and pdf so this one will be upside down on the top on the top camera but it will be right side up when i hold it and this one is using vintage picnic collection which is now discontinued but all of bonnie camille has lots of red white and blue that you can mix in and this is the backing and i just picked some of my favorite patriotic quilts to show you the next one is her subsequent design called stars and stripes 2 and the pattern actually has two patterns in it it's brand new it's using her future collection that i just showed you it's not available yet but we have it as a paper and a pdf pattern this is the backing this one's pretty big so and i don't really think there's a right or wrong way let's see let's go this way and i will show it to you so here it is flat it's not really either way it goes the flag goes all the different directions i love the quilting on this and you can see the flags they go all the different directions and i want to show you the quilting up close you can see it here i love the shamrock that they've added this is the first time they've had a shamrock but you can really see the quilting on the back and i love this quilting okay the next one is huge okay so let me see that i'm just gonna show that okay so the next one i'm found somehow this morning i've been looking for it so this one so the ones i just showed you those five they're on our blog all the details on the blog these next ones are my additional ideas for patriotic so this one right here this quilt i made i'm about to display it in my house this block is one of my favorite flag blocks you can find it two different ways you can get it either on her blog week 21 of vintage block along for free or you can go to the lori holt youtube channel and watch sew your stash series number 20 to find this now you can find pictures of this i'm not going to hold this up this is way too much let me see i'm going to try to hold it up but it's huge so it's not um i'm just going to kind of show part of it on the table this will eventually be in a book and no longer free at some point so just a heads up and i do see some of you guys commenting and saying why are you only showing american stuff you know what i'm in america i'm proud to be an american i can't do every country i'm this is free content so you know if you're not american you can just fast forward but i'm american so i have lots of american things in my house and i'm showing you my stuff it's my live stream and i can't do every country and i'm not gonna just not show america because two people complain i'm not gonna do that it's not me so this quilt is beautiful i'm gonna hang this i will show a picture on social media but my plan is kevin always helps me he does like the best job we're gonna fold this right here and this is going to hang off the back of my couch with this kind of at the bottom so this is one i wanted to show you because well first of all lori is my best friend so of course i'm going to show you but one of the reasons i wanted to show you this is sorry it's very heavy and very big but one of the reasons i wanted to show you is the whole quilt is not americana so in the spring i can pull this off my couch and have this showing in july i can have this showing i do plan to decorate my house this weekend i'll post some pictures in a couple of weeks but this is a way to show part of the year and then it can be different later in the year we have two other patterns that are free that we have shown in the past this one is called wave your flag table runner it is a free pattern and a free video on fat quarter shop's website and here's the back the next one is bigger it's called star stripes and dots it is also a free pattern and a free video the fabric is no longer available but it is beautiful and this uses basics so that's what i have to show you today for all of our americana stuff what batting do i use my quilts always look soft so i prefer to use 80 20 by quilter stream that's what i use is the american gatherings book different from the sew along that is free so the book has the block in it it's the same but if you want to finish your quilt the same way the finishing instructions are what you need to follow in the book or if you don't want to buy something you can figure out the sizes on your own but if you want to do it exactly likely so you do need the book is the color for the mystery block pink or peach peach definitely not pink do you recommend any triangles on a roll for the mystery stitch along i use all the sizes of triangles on a roll i i don't know exactly we do have like a sampler pack that you could start with will you be getting the coop fabric line yes of course i am gonna have everything lori holds all the time so now i'm gonna do like my little follow-up section where i thought answer the follow-up questions from previous weeks we did a q we are going to be doing a q a members only live stream next tuesday if you're a member in the community tab you can go ahead and start asking your questions it's going to be more of a casual q a where i just sit on the couch and answer questions if you want to join to be a member the join button is underneath this video and if you have any technical questions about that we can answer you in the chat another item that i think a lot of you are going to be super excited about is we now are going to have a cross stitch newsletter so if you are a cross stitcher and you want to sign up go to our website and search cross stitch newsletter and it will give it to you and then that way you will get both our quilting and our cross stitch if you're not a cross stitcher and you're not interested well great news you won't get cross stitch information going forward which will make a lot of you happy so um just wanted to give you those two updates of course i'll answer any questions i did want to do a blast of the past and that is where we just find an old project that i have done or someone has done and just bring it back this one's about six years old and lori is going to love this one this was the second book that we published for lori it is called great granny squared and the reason we are doing this one today is she is using the great granny squared as part of her red sampler sew along there's a lot of stuff in this book that's great we published this book in 2014. on our blog we had lori designed this for us i'm going to show it to you on the table so you do need the book but all of the finishing instructions and all of this was designed by lori are on our blog if you search great granny sew along this fabric is called vintage happy it's obviously discontinued because it's from 2014 but it's just an older quilt that i made and just wanted to show you and the back i did a regular back i made a quilt block turned it underneath and on this one it looks like i tried to do a blanket stitch around which i'm not really sure why i did that and then this is horrible looking this was before i had a sweet water label i did used to use these labels i can't even remember where i got them from but since then i have progressed and my quilts look much better so i thought that was fun beautiful fabric and then we also have something that we're doing where we throw it back every week to some of our favorite videos so that was just an older quilt now i'm going to show you an older video we released it in april 27th of 2020 it's called summer swag quilt tutorial it's a jelly roll quilt using the creative grids ruler cgr60 and one of the reasons we brought this back is because it went along with our patriotic series and then i'm going to show you a couple new things that i'm going to save some of what i had for next week okay so i just pick each week a couple of things that i think are great that are new that i like and i wanted to point this out and give a huge thank you to chris vine she emailed me a couple months ago and said you know on my bindings i'm going to open this i like to just use stripes plaids gingham that type of thing and i really wish you had a bundle of one yard cuts that i could use for my binding so we went through and found just an assortment of different designers stripes dots ginghams and put together a one-yard bundle and i just wanted to thank her because it's her idea and we kind of did an assortment of colors and assortment of designs so i just wanted to show that i wanted to let you know that on the holiday essentials collections by stacey itzu the valentine and patriotic have arrived in pre-cuts the yardage has not arrived yet and the other two holidays which are christmas and halloween have not arrived yet but i did want to show these because we're getting so many questions on them they're just not all arriving at the same time so i just want to clarify that and this i love this is the fabric that we used in the designer mystery 2021 so this is the full array we did not use this part and the designer mystery though so that is the color and i love this kit i have thought about doing this as a sew along i'm not sure i will though because i'm kind of out of i'm kind of out of i don't really know if i have another hour in the day but i love this design it's designed by stacy itzu using that holiday essentials so it comes with the pattern and all of the fabric so i just wanted to show this what i do in this section is just show you what i like so i hope that you like all of that and um doug says hi to fqs so hi doug and crafting a plan life says are you planning on making triangles on a roll larger than seven and a half no i think that um anything bigger kind of the paper will get distorted i think and i wanted to thank our new member elena vasuka fazelka for joining and thank you all for watching i hope you guys have a lovely week i will see you next week with lots of new stuff so have a great weekend you
