Saltbox Stitcher [Episode 26] "The Dog Days of Summer"

[Music] [Music] how are you it's um sunday august 9th in the morning and um thought i'd do a video my last video had a lot of light changes um and mostly because i think because i recorded in the morning and it's morning again here so we'll see um i'm hoping it doesn't do that again so i'm back to show you some things about my stitching um i'll have a few pictures at the end of quilts and i've actually been back into rug hooking a little bit so i'll show you a picture of my attempt to rug hook i still don't have the motion quite down pat so i think that takes practice so i'm hoping that'll come but anyway um first i thought and it's hot it's hot it's humid which makes it feel even hotter the heat index all of that stuff although really we've just had mid to upper 90s we haven't had many days over a hundred it's still hot you get in your car it's hot my car doesn't stay in the garage so it's hot okay enough about the weather did you come here for a weather report and here is your florida weather report okay um last time i talked about i wanted to do some ff owing to do some fully fully finishing so i did a few things i still have a lot of pieces that i want to make into you know they're smalls and i want to do them into you know flats or pin cushions or something um the trouble if you have them into pin cushions then you have to find a place to put all this stuff i'm supposed to breathe so let's everybody together mute for today amazing guess what i would be breathing regardless whether you told me to or not but anyway i understand you're supposed to take deep breaths so i did some ffoing there's a lot more that i want to do um i kind of have to dedicate a whole day to doing it and with my quilting and stuff i want quilts i want a piece and you know it just i don't know how when you're at home all the day you're busy but somehow it happens and i've been getting a lot of quilts i kind of went through a period where i've kind of got caught up and um only had like maybe three or four and then all of a sudden within a few days i was back up to 15. some of them are small but still it's quilts that i need to get done and i said i was going to show you ffowing because that's what i keep trying to tell you so the first thing i did and i'm not totally so this is sort of ffo'd um this is a pin drum this was the original pattern by plum street it was one of her cereal bowl collections and when i got it i think originally it had the floss and the trim with it it was kind of a it wasn't a complete kit because it didn't have linen so this was lesson one make use of present time sampler lessons and i have all of them i just haven't stitched them all so this one i decided to make into a drum now i left a space up here because i want to put something i don't quite know what i had some kind of embroidered type trim not embroidered almost like a little crocheted kind of an antique piece but it's not very big so i need to find something that's gonna and i'm gonna put a strawberry on top so um i did follow vana's technique for doing a pin drum vonify for the twisted stitcher i guess i should go this way so you read the words make use of present time and then i left a little bit of a space back here since it has words it's a little easier to read because you know everybody comes into my house picks this up and says what does this say oh make use of present time okay that does not happen first of all i don't have people coming to my house other than quilt customers and most of them have been happy just to drop something off at the front door so but that was my reasoning okay okay we're going with that plum street lesson one cereal bowl series they were they were sweet they were um she released them i'm gonna say about five years ago 2015. now that is accurate um the next one that i ffo'ed and this is from scattered seed who is tammy black this was the first one and she has an etsy store so go to scattered seed etsy now this is the little ren collection i think is the name of the collection out on a lin keep it's kind of an interesting shape so it wasn't the easiest to fully finish i don't know why it should be easier to stuff something that's oval or round rather than something that's square but i struggled with it a little bit and mine is not great but it was a kit came with the floss she includes dmc floss so this was the first one this year and i actually already have the second one which i haven't started set free that's cute coming over i think i might do i don't know if you watched one of my earlier videos but i did a um brenda gervais piece in that oval shape that stands up so i'll do this similar it comes all kitted she includes dmc she includes the backing she even includes you know ribbon or um seam tape or whatever we call that for um embellishing they're very nice very nice i have a lot of her pieces that i haven't done and so i now my husband does make shaker boxes he's kind of he got a lathe so he's kind of been preoccupied with his sleeve but um i did finish this and that's the backing she gave and when i originally measured it i have a la haze box and i thought oh that's gonna fit in there perfect well it doesn't really it i didn't quite make it big enough so it kind of slides around a little bit but i wanted it loose so if i you know so if i and i love the color with it i'm not sure what color this we were given these as a um part of our uh attendance to the the midwest cross stitch retreat in the fall of 2018 we each got a la hayes box i think some people got a i think there was a choice this or something else i can't remember what the other thing was but anyway i chose a box and i'm not sure what color this is these are painted boxes the finish is painted but i love them so i could have put it on the top but i did i just didn't want to i'd rather have it so that you can see what's inside and then you can put little scissors or whatever on the inside scattered seed out on a limb so i fully finished that and i stuff with sawdust people ask where do you get sawdust from the garage now before my husband had all his power tools i i considered going to home depot because some people said you can get sawdust from home depot or lowe's whatever um then somebody else said don't go there it's not clean um at one point in time i bought some from an etsy store so i think if you if you googled sawdust etsy you could might be able to get some or you know if just ask around surely somebody in your area does woodworking and they have tons of sawdust so so that was the second thing i fully finished this was the next thing and i stitched this last year this is by the scarlet house it's called autumn alphabet and i have a couple other fall things that i have stitched that i need to fully finish i don't do a great job but i i do a satisfactory job in my opinion you know i think laura says good enough for government work yeah now where did i get this hornbook thing well in the pattern she mentions you can reach april at homestead needle almost a needle at charter.net she's also on etsy under homestead needle work with an e at the end and it's called the scarlet butter board so here's homestead needleworks oh needleworks april taylor and when you get on there you might find some other things you want i got a couple of small quilt hangers that um shoot i forgot to get something else that i wanted to show everybody i'll keep going i may go get it or may just show you on the next video the next thing that i um i haven't finished partly fully finished and that's this little one and it's by the scarlet house it's called button posies it's adorable i'd like to also do the scissor fob and i've stitched it except for the left an opening at the bottom so that i can stuff it but somehow yesterday i didn't want to get sawdust back out again i do it on my cutting mat but i try to put something down newspaper or something because saw stuffing with sawdust is messy i like it i like the way it feels but it's messy so button posies almost fully finished and then i have a couple of pieces that i really ventured into to the beyond and i have framed a few things myself but absolutely nothing to write home about but i did this i did two pieces the first one is this this was a special offering exclusive it's called hannes brownstone i want i want to say you can get it now but i don't swear by that it's by the scarlet house do you see a theme here hannah's brownstone and i stitched it a while ago and it's not exactly even but it's so-so and up here it's not even but if i had put it to where i had the same just i tried to match the distance here with the distance here because i'm kind of big on things being and actually the bottom is straight so it doesn't look straight in the thing but it follows the line of the linen this was a frame that i had and it was kind of a dark green and i just got some folk art acrylic paint black painted it i was gonna sand it and kind of distress it but i ended up not doing it so this is a paper bag cut up to put on the back you use what you have you know so anyway hannah's brownstone it's framed i actually have it hanging in my sewing room i rearranged my room a week ago yesterday so last saturday which means my cutting table i have four rask cogs by ikea the little carts with the wheels full of fabric and kits and there's a wall of fabric in there it's like really cluttered but i know where everything is i put my stitching chair in there so i can enjoy just sitting and stitching i um i have an antique dry sink in there and i moved that you thought i got hit by a truck on sunday last week i was like what the heck i'm too old to be this sore this little bit of work i did okay i framed one more piece i think i showed you this a while ago cross stitch nation a lot of people made this into a drum which is also really cute this is by heartstring samplery cross stitch nation i belong to the cross stitch nation i really enjoyed this and i had had it kitted for a while it was one of those things like come on carol just do it so i framed it and this is a frame when we used to live in kansas city there were a lot of stores that you could go in and they just had country type stuff to me there's a difference between country and primitive country is like doilies and cross-stitch geese with eyelet mounted in a hoop now if all of you have that in your house praise god for you i have what i call primitive or folk art and i even like uh i tend to like even a colonial type look so anyway when i say they had country things they had things that i would call primitive folk art and including country and this makes this look really pink the linen is not pink at all it's so anyway i had this frame i had three or four of them that i've gotten and i've used them all on different things it's it's a real primitive frame so i framed it i laced it i don't i've tried pinning i i find i can do a little bit more even with lacing so i stitched this in the spring this year 2020. i'm always reluctant to put the date on but then i look around some of the ones that i have dated like that i think oh it's nice to know when i did that duh so that was what i've done as far as fully finishing um i have so much more to do i probably have three good saturdays that i could spend fully finishing and there are a couple more things i'd like to frame but i don't i'd have to order some frames so i need to go to michael's i've ordered a few from hobby lobby and they i've kind of exhausted what i like at the their selection so i need to go to michael's because some people have said michaels has some good choices so um so what have i been stitching so last time i showed you i was almost finished with the smith sampler by scarlett house and it was a terrible picture so this time i decided to get it out again because it is finished so i can show you a little better the picture when i filmed it last time was really really dark i was really disappointed in my last video not that i'm thrilled with most of them but when you put yourself out there you just gotta go with it is what it is but i i hate when the lighting is such that you can't see it very well so smith sampler i finished i think i had a lot to do on the border last time and i had these red berries on these flowers leaves whatever so that one i finished and when i um i've told you before i use the 2020 book of days by needlework press and along with each month i will keep track of my finishes so if in july i had three finishes that's what i have listed in july if in august i don't have any finishes so be it i don't write anything down so so anyway smith sampler i finished in july this one i'd have to look at when i finished this one i didn't get out the pattern for smith's sampler i think i showed it last time but the next one i finished was all joyce for thine by blackbird this one um i think i showed it last time that i was working on it but i have finished it and i never used to use the white board behind basically because i was just too lazy to go get something but it does help you see a little better and what i chose to do on this one my um my grandmother's parents were married in 1888 so um anna york no is that right yes anna york and james sailing married in 1888. so it turned out good i think the original one was kind of i think it had dates for a wedding and um so this would be my great-grandmother on my mother's side so my mother's mother's mother my great-grandmother she was born in 1860. that just seems weird that my great-grandmother was born at the beginning of the civil war and i know there's been a you know like my i wasn't born until my mom was like 34 and i think my grandmother was almost 30 when she had my mom and so you know there's been a few it's not like some generations where every 20 years they have another generation but anyway i guess it means i'm getting old i mean really let's just think about it all joyce for the eye and i finished that one so what else have i stitched on well i'll just show you um i don't know what order i'd have to get my um i have to get my book of days out and i didn't bring it in here um want to say 2018 but it might have been last year i decided to start villages of hawk run hollow because i've seen this that's a teddy bag anyway what i did it was during mania a few years ago and i went and i did all of the borders for each of the blocks so that when i sat down to do the blocks i already had them all counted out so you know i hadn't touched it for quite a while and i'm doing it with npis of which i have them all kitted and that's a lot of npis now let's be real if i have a project that i want to do and i'm going to put it on my immediate radar and i need npis i will go look here and if i have it i will write on the pattern that i'm kidding up hrh which means it's that color is with hawker and hollow so i'm not really duplicating i'm not because there's very few skeins of this that i'm going to use the whole skein so i am somewhat economical when i do that so anyway i stitched a little bit on hakron hollow and is it getting dark again like the lighting i feel like it is i think it is that's so weird i'm sorry anyway i did the first block of it all done including the backstitching which i'm not a fan of backstitching and now i'm working on the second block which is the church and i have the fence and the lettering and i'm in the process of doing some fill-in let's see go this way carol so villages of hawk run hollow i worked on those two blocks i'm really bothered maybe the sun will come back out in a minute we are the sunshine state hello shouldn't have clouds okay what else did i work on you ask well two other projects that i have in my christie bag i have a ggr pattern that i've wanted to do for a while try to hurt them it's called an arial aria l i call it areola i hope that doesn't offend anybody i love this and i saw it stitched when i was a country sampler one year so i collected and where is it there it is collected the threads it's pretty it's a pretty palette and i have a little bit of a start on it not a whole lot and that's it's a tedious border because you got all those leaves but it'll be so worth it and this fabric hawker and hollow i'm doing on sand dune by lakeside linens 36 count i think all joys for thine i did on a picture this plus i want to say i used let's see what does it call for heartland and that's what i used this is olive leaf by dixie sampler she sells her linens on um facebook kind of a i don't want to say an auction but it's kind of a she'll list what she has like a day or two ahead and then she'll have numbers each piece is numbered so in other words you might have 40 count and a certain color and she might have two fat quarters 2 13 by 18 etc and then um she'll go to 36 count and then 32 count and so so when she goes live with it on facebook you have to go immediately and look through what you want and put me please and then she will paypal invoice you i've gotten a few pieces her linen is a little pricey but it's really worth it it's beautiful so this piece is called olive leaf and it's it's a little more green than it's showing up here it's just beautiful so olive leaf by dixie sampler hand-dyed fabrics her name is terry so that's ann ariel and i did a little bit on that and then keep these patterns together or i'll end up who goes with what the next one i worked on and i love this chart this is mary gibson by the hasselmere hasselmere museum in great britain england sorry i think that's england a couple people on instagram have stitched this i love it the original pattern when it came called for dmc so i pulled all the dmc and then at some point i think i was in minneapolis and i went to stitchville and they had a good selection of silks so i kind of went around and did my own conversion of silks now i'll be happy to share that if anybody is doing this chart however i'm kind of changing as i go so i haven't come to a final list of what colors i'm going to be using i have some npis i have some dinky dies i have a little bit of everything but basically i'm taking the brightness down just just a hint so um this is my progress oops i think i'm using light exemplar well carol there's a pin in here's our needle there we go vinta i don't think it's vintage i think it's just light exempler by um lakeside so it has some of the border done again this is a little bit of a tedious border but i got down here to this house obviously i'm going to do this one red and these two i can't remember what dmc color but they're the color for dmc is pretty bright blue but it looks like it's two shades of blue but it's not this is just every other stitch here so it looks lighter and then you've got this is more full coverage or yeah so i've been conflicted because the blue that i had picked when i first started stitching it down there looked a little periwinkle don't give me purple don't give me anything close to purple i'm i'm like deb with country stitchers she said she doesn't like pink and purple i'm not now if it's a flower and it's just you know a little bit of pink or a little bit of purple i don't have a problem with it but to do a whole house in like a periwinkle purpley color not happening so somebody you know and sometimes i'll i'll be on instagram and i'll see different people having stitched whatever and sometimes i direct message them and say you know what color did you use and some people won't remember some people will it just kind of um it's kind of hit and miss but why not ask if somebody said that to me i would certainly tell them if i remembered so anyway i've decided i'm going to go with a gray for that house this is what somebody used and i think it's going to be fine i like the gray next to the red house much more than i would like the periwinkle next to it purpley whatever so i put a few stitches in that and then i made a um just a profound decision i think i have somewhere close it's between 16 to 20. sampler whips that that's close to criminal in my mind because they're big projects you know and it's like do i want to finish something that i started four years from now no i don't i want to finish him now so i've decided that i'm going to focus on two sampler whips and i'm just going to stitch each one until they're done so i say do you ever believe anything i say i don't know so the first one that i've made the decision i really want to finish is red deer and i did have quite a bit done i had the deer finished i had the middle basket half done so the flowers on one side were done i had these two baskets done i had the the base of the border not the flowers and i've just decided that's it i'm gonna stitch this till it's finished i'm hoping i have a finish this week here's the threads i'm using and yes there's a purple in here this girl or a lavender i guess this girl was wild about colors i think she decided if i can stitch it with a different color i'm going to there's just a lot of colors in this so let me get my little board here so i can show it to you a little better and this is where i am so i have all the flowers around the top to finish some of them are finished they're kind of hit and miss because if i'm stitching with a certain color and i have a good length of thread left i'll go and there's you know a flower on the border i'll go ahead and stitch that so i'm working on the bottom pot of flowers down here and i swear there's 20 colors in that pot of flowers at least at least and then i'm i've got the outline for the other pot of flowers on the other side once i finish that there's some letters at the bottom there's no over one but there's some letters and numbers at the bottom a day 1866. and then the flowers on the outside and each flower has three colors so you've got the main color then you got the center and then you got around the flower there's another color but i should be able to finish the pot the second pot by i don't know depends on how much stitching time i get next couple days so that's sampler number one i'm gonna i'm gonna do that till i'm finished with it period promises promises the next one that i really really want to finish oh and red deer is by ggr and i'm using um 40 count i think it's 40. it could be 36. it might be 36. cedar plank i don't think it's vintage by lakeside linens it's a gray green and i know there's other people that have used it and i like it a lot the next one that i'm on a mission to finish is charlotte charlotte clayton i don't know if you can get this anymore or not this was it's another museum piece somebody was talking about this was it laura did she say she had gone to the museum she wanted to somebody on a flosstube i recently watched by laura i mean the serial starter and she had wanted to see this i think it was laura but the museum was closed it has those two big cats it has a lot of fiddly stitching in the flowers but i do have quite a bit done so this is where i am on charlotte clayton i have the throne the throne down here that one of the cat sits on looks like a throne i have the two birds finished i have these flowers the whole top is finished i believe there might be some doodahs in there somewhere but i think it's finished so i have quite a bit finished you know i've got to do adam and eve both of the cats and this whole middle section here the border's finished it's completely finished because there's like it goes in and out green and then red in between there and i love this flower oops but that's a lot of fiddly stitching you know when you have a dot here and a dot there and and i didn't get it out but a lot of times if i have a lot of fiddly stitching like that i will use highlighter tape it's just it's like post-it note type you know you can peel it and re-stick it and all that and it's called highlighter tape i think it comes in green yellow maybe pink and i will put that you know on a section that i've either just finished or i'm about to stitch and it's it's almost like having um some people use magnets to you know have it on a line so they can move it as they stitch across sometimes that works for me but sometimes if sometimes i get off on my orientation in other words if i have like three stitches under one stitch if i do the one and then i move it either up or down i don't always okay where does the three go does it match on one side does it go anyway i know what i'm saying but it's kind of hard so you kind of have to find whatever works for you whenever you have a lot of um what i call fiddly stitching oops i moved you come back so that is what i have been working on now there's a there's a little bit of me that wants to start on doing some fall stitching especially as i start finishing some of the pieces that i did last year for fall and you know then you kind of get motivated but i've been trying in the morning when i wake up and i'm not an early bird because i stay up late but i usually get up about eight and i've been as i watch the news or whatever i've been trying to do a little bit of rug cooking and so at the end i'll show you my husband bought me a stand a couple years ago and i just love it and i have the cutter i have i have wool i don't have a lot a lot of wool but i have i have some mold enough to do a couple of the pieces that i'm working on so i've been trying to do that and then i quilt and then sometimes in the afternoon if i'm tired i nap then i fix supper and then i stitch in the evening so that's my life but i am going to show you a few pieces that i i'd like to start and then i'll show you a few things that i've purchased not a lot a little bit first of all um oops i guess you don't want to see the chart well maybe you do but you shouldn't this is mrs pearson by by carriage house samplings and laura is gaga over this lauren brenda so she's like so she has a sal going but i i don't think she started it we were going to start it last week and then i needed a couple threads and actually there's a mistake on my chart and i will show you what that is so i'm using dmc and a piece of dixie sampler roasted cashew which is just your basic kind of sampler color so on the chart dmc mine has 532. there is no dmc 532 it's like what the heck there's not even a slot where it's like out of stock no there's no dmc 532 so one of the other gals that's gonna be oh i think she's already started um she asked me if i'd started it and i said well i'm still looking for one color number 532 and she's like that's 598. so it's supposed to be 598. her chart was correct my chart was wrong so no big deal it was just nice to find out what the actual number so i'm going to start that sometime soon and then there's some charts i really want to stitch for fall let me take them out of the bag so that you can see the first one is gone batty i got this last year at midwest cross stitch retreat brenda gervais had a little store set up i thought it was adorable i did the snowman that was like this i think she's done a bunny a snowman i don't know if she's done anything else because she does series so that's some pretty wild green linen did i show you this last time in my mind i thought i showed you this here's the colors oops orange olive green and here is the fabric it's called kermit appropriately by um picture this plus so it doesn't call for this big a piece what did i get i got a piece that's 36 count 12 by 17 permit and i won't need all that however i also want to do this one and she sold these little hoops when she when we were at midwest so i'll have plenty of that kermit left because that's what this calls for too i don't have the floss it takes a lot of floss and i think some of them are the same ones as that gone daddy this is called holiday hoopla halloween and she does a lot of those hoopla she's done quite a few of them and they're adorable with the black ribbon really cute so that will be um i'll use that kermit for that as well now i can't fit it back in the bag of course the next one i want to do i have this one kitted as well hallows eve at ravens hollow that's really cute so i need to get stitching on these this one i have a piece of 36 count beige by weeks and so many of these brenda gervais ones have the same colors so i may even just put them on one ring the oranges are like pumpkin harvest fragrant cloves chrysanthemum wood smoke so i want to finish my samplers but i also want to work on a few fall things so i'm going to have to i don't do a wheel [Music] because i'm so not a rule follower not when i drive i obey laws and all that stuff but if i told myself i have to stitch on something it's like don't want to now my samplers i do want to so that's i can comply with that but the next one i want to do is a scarlet house don't know how long i've had this one fall frolic i think that's adorable just a little bit of everything a basket a moon a house i think that's really cute pumpkins so that one i have kitted again this is a dis this is a dixie sampler and this is almost exactly the color of cedar plank it's a little more gray and it's called lichen and i got this on one of her recent sales good colors so and when i do a small like this i really like to just get it done in like two or three days so we'll see how that works out two more fall ones that i want to stitch where are we 50 minutes just about going good this is um pumpkins and bittersweet again by scarlet house this one i don't have the on a ring it's almost like you could put just one ring with all these fall colors but then it's kind of tedious to work with on a small and have a huge ring cute and this i have a piece of vintage meadow roux 40 count and if i have a piece that's bigger you know like this this piece is 13 by 18. and on 40 count this the design is four and a half by two and a half then the rest goes into my um kind of remnant bin type thing that i have one more scarlet house um the pumpkin ones you know you can live up leave out all fall into november the other ones are pretty much halloween pumpkin pumpkin on the vine how'd you get so very fine i think that's adorable and then i have this one fitted with some 40 count fresco by picture this plus at one time i was in a i think it was a monthly thing with um picture this not with pictures plus it was pictures plus fabric i think i did it through needleworkers delight maybe i think so so i got um maybe it was every other month but i got picture of this plus linen i did get a few colors i didn't like so i didn't do it again i don't want bright blue although obviously i'm going to be stitching on a really bright green one never knows and there's the colors for that pumpkin pumpkin on the vine i'd be really happy if i got these all done for fall don't know that that's happening here's just a few things that i got and then we'll talk about quilt giveaway um i have three quilts here to give away i guess i should have taken pictures at the end i'll show them the best i can and they're they're not huge and you know it's luck of the draw so if you get it you get it um i ordered this somebody had done this this isn't this isn't a new pattern this was original release date 2012. but somebody i recently saw did this and i really really liked it never let you go it's just a sweet sampler it's not a reproduction i don't believe there's some over one i don't have it kitted i just got the pattern i won't get that right away this one again i saw somebody had done this and i thought it was so neat it can go on my sunday school wall with all the different ones that i want to do it's called ruby out ruby owls sampler wisdom is better than rubies and all things that may be desired are not to be compared to it ruby owls work 1845. love that tree i'm so sorry for the glare better well it's in one of those funky bags that i don't like the reason i don't like them because they stick to the pattern so i open it and then i tuck that flap back in to the front so it can't stick that cute a little dog i love these things that are you know and they're probably over one my daughter's calling me so i need to call her back i got this one this was just released by hands to work tracy riffle rifle riffle if you ever um if you haven't watched her videos you need to she designed a while ago and then she's back to designing hannah henson i really like that one and then um i had already gotten the um pattern land that i love by theresa koget and i even have the tin roof but i think i'm going to use this which is pool party it's a piece by hand dyed by theresa kitten stitcher called pool party and i ordered the um the addict did a silk conversion so i ordered that and you two can have that if you would like to call them email whatever i thought that was really pretty so i got that and they send you a list what it converts to so you but it's their propriet private property proprietary proprietor so i don't share conversions by stores if i do it myself whatever that's fine um i got some dusty road from seraphim seraphim fabrics dusty road 40 count fat half i also ordered some um if you haven't gone to hoop and frame um they have a really good selection of access commodities um legacy linen which is 37 count and the names correspond in other words this is way fair no this is corkscreen corkscrew willow in 37 counts so in other words you can't get corkscrew willow in 45 count so the color corresponds to the name i mean the count does that make sense sure it does carol and they package it with tissue paper can you hear the tissue this is a really nice this is 37 count but it looks like natural linen so if you have a piece that calls for a natural this is a good alternative but hoop and frame has a pretty good a good selection of access commodities linen and i actually was ordering something i don't know thread drops or something i was ordering from them and i didn't want to just that's why i ordered a piece of linen to go with it and then laura has us all helped up on all these doll or girls look like dolls but girls this is scattered seed um and a morgan i like them i'm not gonna go crazy doing a hundred of them but i do like them i think they're cute that's all i have to show um i'm gonna have some quilts at the end but i have three quilts to give away so pay attention because i'm going to give you a cue so the first one was my 5 000 subscriber giveaway and the person never claimed it i moved you again sorry this is the one that has sewing it's all sewing motifs it's black red kind of cream colored has some alphabets it has all kinds of different it's backed with a print that has all of the different prints so i'm going to redraw from that and the keyword is sewing on that one for my 6 000 subscribers i didn't do one and this one is totally out of character for me but there may be somebody out there that thinks it's wonderful i originally made this to teach at a class the cool shop that i worked at closed and within a year another um cold shop opened and i didn't work at the next the newer quilt shop um but i taught a few classes at the beginning and she carried a lot of brights and so she wanted this the class sample to be brights so this is bright i think a lot of these are k facet fabrics it's backed with a bright green orange has an orange binding this is about 60 by 70. it's a nice lap size quilt yeah 60 by 72 something like that it's got all these funky fabrics so the key word for that is bright you can you can put all three um keywords in your comment but only one person's gonna win in other words you can't win all three quilts this one is black and red it's basically squares on point black and red black and white and red all over remember that joke what's black and white and red all over the newspaper red r-e-a-d get it that's one of those jokes you tell when you're like 12 and you get homonyms sound the same mean different homonyms yeah i think so anyway the key word for this one is newspaper black and white red all over that's it an hour and three minutes and then we're gonna include some pictures of quilts at the end just for eye candy because i have a lot of quilts and people seem to enjoy some of the pictures of some of the ones i've done so i'll be signing off this is sunday i hope you all have a great rest of the weekend and um stay healthy stay happy and keep [Music] stitching [Music] do [Music] so [Music] do [Music] you
