Tips for Machine Quilting Ribbon Candy - Live Chat with Angela Walters

hey everybody welcome to this week's live chat i hope you all missed me last week i did have a fun family vacation in silver dollar city so that was a great time but i sure did miss doing the live chat so i'm glad to be back and in this week's live chat we're going to be talking about ribbon candy i know from the texts and the comments before we went live that a lot of people kind of struggle with this design i'm hoping that by time i'm done i will make you love it as much as i do and help you maybe even troubleshoot some issues you're having before we get to that though i want to tell you about this week's weekly deal so what i have for you is some amazing mystery scrap bags so i actually have these for 25 off just use the promo code ribbon candy and the link is in the description box below and i actually have two different scrap bags i have one that is about a pound of just quilt shop quality cottons from the shop and then i have another one that's a pound of my designs so you can get a scrap bag that's just my fabrics or scrap bag of an assortment either way i won't judge i think it's great i love mystery bags and i love scraps just kind of playing with them so that's only good through next week so if you want to take advantage of that again the promo code is ribbon candy and the link is in the description box all right um let's talk about real quick next week we're having our annual fall fest here in liberty missouri it's just outside of kansas city that's where my quilt shop is located and for the first time we're participating in this big fun fall fest and we're getting in the spirit of festivals with our own little quilt fest so tons of events coming up next weekend if you happen to be driving through the area or close by i'll be doing a trunk show some live demos and in fact next week's live chat will be during quilt fest so i'm going to do it live from the quilt shop so it'll be kind of interesting i'm not sure exactly what that's going to look like but i'm going to give you a tour show you a little bit of what happens when i'm not in my studio when i'm in my quilt shop so again if you happen to be traveling in the area i'm only 20 minutes from kansas city airport and only 45 minutes from missouri star quilt company so kind of right in the smack dab middle of the u.s if you happen to be coming through i hope you'll come by and say hi all right but i know why you're here right you're here to learn more about ribbon candy and talk about how we can improve that so let's get right to our goodies first thing i want to share is i do have two downloadable tip sheets for this design first one is a free one it's just a one page diagram that you can trace along the lines this is perfect if you just need a little bit of help getting in the hang of how to quilt it but if you need a little bit more help you're like i'm struggling angela i need just a little bit more assistance i do have an expanded pdf available it's 2.99 nine pages full of quilting samples diagrams tips everything that i'm showing in the live chat so somebody left a comment on my website was like oh why do you have to charge for the expanded sheets everything that's in those expanded pdfs is on the live chat so it's not like you have to get it but it definitely is helpful if you like something printed right next to you when you're quilting okay so you have those options the free one all i ask that you do for that is just give the video a thumbs up that's all you have to do for that one so let's get right into the ribbon candy so if you're stumbled along this and you're like i don't even know what ribbon candy is it's that beautiful curvy design in the white strip of this quilt i love to use ribbon candy in thinner areas so this is not going to be something for a big block it's not going to be for a really wide border i generally if i had to put a limit on it i would say two to four inches ish is kind of where i like to use this design but there are a lot of places like that you know we have our sashings our thinner borders our strip piece blocks or even wedges and we're going to see all of that but the reason i don't like to use this in very large areas is that bigger unquilted kind of curve as the area gets bigger that unquilted area gets larger as well and we all know that i love quilting my stuff to death so i'm going to go with something more dense in bigger areas so if you're struggling with it try to keep it within that range all right so let's talk about this design so the ribbon candy when i teach this in person the first thing i say is if you're having trouble drawing it just stop and listen to me and come back later and trace along it there's not a whole lot i can say about this design that will make something click i do have a couple tips but really i can't stress enough how important it is to try tracing over it if you're struggling with it get print out that free diagram or get the expanded tip sheet and just draw over it again and again and again until it clicks but this is how the design starts off it's going to start off with this backwards s kind of shape right so the line is going to curve out in the direction that i'm heading and then kind of curve back like that s and so it's kind of funny if you think about it when i started quilting i never could think where do i go how do i start well the direction you're always going to go is the way that you're heading so if i'm going left to right my first move is going to be to the right curving and back around all right so now once i hit that bottom backwards s i'm going to try not to stop i'm going to continue along and i'm going to do the next part and it's going to be actually the mirror image of that first shape so i'm going to swing out and then back now sometimes some quilters will look at this and see two s's like backwards mirror image of each other or sometimes you'll look at it and see maybe like a hershey's kiss or something like that what makes this design tricky for most quilters is that mirror image right you quilt it and you have to flip it back and forth and it's kind of one of those things where you're like i got it i don't got it i got it i don't got it so try not to worry too much just practice and work through it so let's talk real quick about this i kind of in an ideal world i kind of want those curves to touch or come close to touching not necessarily overlap and i'm also trying to keep the design away from the edge just about an eighth of an inch or so if i have this nice curve i want to be able to see it and really once i get to that part it's just going to be repeating that shape over and over and over again and so until i get to the end of my area and this is what we would be seeing if we were done again if you're having trouble with this it's going to really be more helpful just to trace over it one joke i tell in my live classes i'll say you know it's not like our kindergarten teacher just drew a letter on the board and said write that letter you had to trace it to get the movement down but i do have some troubleshooting tips and some things we'll talk about um when we get to see how how it works but ideally this is what we're going for a nice curvy design that kind of touches but doesn't overlap yet and and that's going to be kind of fun so let's talk about a couple things so again there isn't a whole lot i can say about this but first again i don't want it to touch the area i want to start my turn before i get to the edge because i want to see that curviness to it if i wait too long it's going to kind of chop off the top and bottom which isn't the end of the world but then it just looks like a funky kind of serpentine line that we didn't quite nail so i would rather stop too short than run into the edge if you end up with too much of a gap between your design and the edge of your area you can always add echoing to fill it in or just move on it's going to be fine either way okay again we're trying to make those curves touch so what i'm doing is as i come around that next side i go ahead and put my eye where i want to end up and then trust my hands to bring me to that so i'm kind of looking where i want to end up but here's the thing if i can't do that if i if i'm struggling getting it to touch which let's be honest nobody's going to make them all touch all the time if i just really can't do it i would rather stop short than overlap so if you're struggling just make them not touch get them kind of close and then move on the reason being if i have an overlap if it overlaps a little bit that's going to be a little bit threadier it's going to show up a little bit more and it'll be a little bit more noticeable so if you're going to make a mistake just decide which mistake looks less like a mistake and that would be just stopping a little short okay one thing that kind of helps in classes when i travel and teach this is sometimes some quilters think we need to make them touch in the middle and that's not the case the curves the design are actually touching above and below that middle line so if you were to look at your area and kind of imagine a dashed line that you know goes right down the center those curves are going to be above and below it so if you find yourself constantly trying to make them meet in the middle that's going to be no fun because they're not supposed to so those are the three things that really seem to help when we're talking about this stuff hopefully you can find it a little helpful for you but again just practice drawing it over and over again until it clicks and then get to your machine all right so let's see some quilted examples here so this particular example you can see the ones on the left aren't touching and then some are touching and some are overlapping i wish i could tell you i did that as an instructable example of different variations but this is actually what i was working with you know some of them touch some of them don't here's the thing about the ribbon candy right if you remember from any of my previous live chats we're drawn to an unquilted area our eyes tend to notice that first and the unquilted area is in those bigger curves so that's what people are going to notice so try not to stress too much about that perfection because when you're all said and done you're going to see that unquoted area right there and i did forget to mention in the beginning if you have any questions and you're watching this live go ahead and type them out jessica's here writing them down for me so i can answer them at the end because i'm sure there's some questions about ribbon candy i want to show you a couple examples of them in actual quilts i kind of poured through all the quilts i have and you know i just i used to not be so great about taking pictures but i liked this as an example it can be used in pieced borders or sashings as well this is a obviously christmas block a scrappy kind of border but i'm still treating it as one piece it has that two to three inch wide it just really fits nicely and i mean who doesn't love ribbon candy on a christmas quilt but i do want to point out that you can use this on any kind of quilts so traditional modern improvisationally pieced it works everywhere it's really one of those great versatile designs that once you get the hang of it i think you're going to love it another kind of unexpected place that you might not think of is wedges now if i'm dealing with a shape let's say it's a stacking whack or a wedge like this even though it's kind of irregular it's narrower at one side and wider at the top you're still going to be able to make it fit that area nicely and then and quilt it so if you have those kind of wedge shape this would be a great option this or wishbones or something like that i love it for adding a nice texture to fabrics that i love that i don't want to take away from the detail in them and so that's a perfect option of where i would use that design and a little bit closer up here so again just a really nice quick design once you get the hang of it that you can just fly through and it's going to be a lot of fun all right i also love to use it in slightly thinner borders especially when i have quilts with multiple borders so if you've ever quilted or pieced a medallion right you have border border border border tons of borders sometimes i want something that has a nice texture but i don't want it to take away from something else in the quilt so this beautiful bigger border in this quilt was a very focal fabric nice and florally i think it even shimmered a little bit so in that solid next to it i just did something nice and consistent to not take away from it but the ribbon candy was a nice option and you can see as i go to the next one i went and did loops so again it's just great for those areas that you just want a nice texture now i want to say i do use it in two inch strips you can go even smaller but it gets kind of hard to get that turn so you can go smaller but go ahead and master it first in the two to four inches before you try to extend past that and again any kind of strips any kind of quilt with lots of piecing i just love the texture it adds and i love mixing it in with other ones like wish bones which we saw in an earlier live chat so it's definitely one of those that you might think i don't do a lot of quilts with narrow borders but i think you'll be surprised all the quilts that you do do that have strips that you can use it in all right let's talk trouble shooting there's one main troubleshooting thing i have for you here and it was funny because somebody typed on the chat before i went live my ribbon candy looks like it's melting okay so let's talk about that what's happening here what's happening is i'm not going far enough away to come back number one common mistake right so the first one starts out great but then my second one i don't swing out enough to come back and so if i always like to joke like you have to go away before i can you know miss you you have to leave before you can come home you really have to extend out so let's see how this could have been fixed so right here i should have came out a little bit more and started that and i will tell you when you're learning how to quilt it's so scary to make yourself go out there in that space because it's just kind of hanging out there but you really have to go out and then come back that's going to give you that s shape okay so if you catch it in time no worries just give it a bigger bottom and then get back on track but just know that this is kind of what's happening there at any point if you're like i don't know what to do just stop i remember i would be quilting like i don't know but i keep going stop and use your finger just to kind of think through the next couple steps especially if you're alternating between wishbone and ribbon candy because it kind of goes in different ways a little bit and it can be a little confusing but number one troubleshooting right there um you want to really extend that piece out so that you can come back now another troubleshooting thing would be again the curves not touching i would just know that that comes with practice or make them spaced out just a bit all the time whatever you do just do it consistently all right let's talk about variations so sometimes for newer quilters variations of the ribbon candy design might actually be easier to quilt than the traditional one and you might think how can that be i promise it's the case so this is a variation that i don't use a whole lot but i love to use it as an example so here we have alternating hearts right so i'm quilting a heart and then quilting my next one and and it gives it a nice more feminine look maybe it's a valentine's quilt but even though it has an extra step right has that little kind of dip like a heart it follows the same flow as the ribbon candy right so it still goes and then alternates direction this is kind of that flow that we're moving with and i put them on top of each other you'll see it kind of still follows that same direction but i find that if you're struggling with a traditional ribbon candy you might find this variation easier because most of us have drawn hearts we doodle them we can visualize what that looks like and it just comes a little bit easier because we know that shape so start with this get comfortable that and then you can just leave that little little dip out of it if you want to so great variation if you're struggling with the first one you can go right to this one and see how that works for you if that one doesn't work you can try what i like to call groovy um groovy ribbon candy so it's this is going to be for bigger areas this is going to be more of a motif because we're going to build off it i'll show you some different ways to use it but it starts with ribbon candy but i'm just spreading those lines way out like this is about a quarter to a half inch in between them when you see it like that it might not be so difficult right because you're like oh good i can't make them touch anyway i can just spread them out but what we're going to do is after we quilt this line we're going to echo the top and the bottom to really build it up so again this is going to be for bigger areas or where i want to add a little bit of a wow factor so i've quilted my first line now i'm just echoing the top so just came right back filling in that area echoing my way back to where i started and then once i hit the end i'm gonna do the same on the bottom so isn't that fun i love it love love love it the thing about this is don't worry about keeping the spacing of those echo lines precise i think it looks better if the spacing gets closer in some parts and wider in others that's what's really going to give it that kind of flowy shape and since you're kind of starting with that main line and just echoing around it you can kind of relax the last two steps because you're just echoing what you've already quilted now let's see what this looks like quilted or quilted example again it's going to build it up it has a much more funky kind of look maybe not for every quilt but i have used this in some interesting ways and if you love the design you've quilted echo around it and then put some filler around that and that will help it help it stand out or if you look at the ends of the ribbon candy here here's in a class where i kind of get like super excited about the examples and people are like oh my gosh stop talking about it but one of my favorite ways to use this is to build off of it if you look at the top and the bottoms they're really just like clam shells so i can quilt this along an area and add clam shells on both sides to really fill it in as a big border design or again as an all over or as an area of some kind of area i want to draw attention to so really have fun with it combining it with other designs even ones that you might not think of like clamshells now if you caught the wishbones live chat you might remember this quilt because i showed it as an example of using wishbones in between but this quilt i did for tula pink i mean it's so fun and striking i want to do something fun and funky and so i use that same wavy wavy kind of um or the groovy ribbon candy in the white strip so quilted those echoed and then filled in between it and we can see a little bit closer right here so if you're a little bit more experienced with quilting you want a little bit of a challenge you're like this doesn't scare me give me something hard to do you can fill in the unquilted areas with something like pebbles to really make those lines pop okay so make sure you do it though in an area of the quilt that you can actually see because if i'm going to take the time to do all this i want to make sure that it's noticeable so you can really kind of dress that up as much as you want but if i were to pick the variation that i used the most it would be the overlapping ribbon candy so you might be like huh my ribbon candy overlaps already well great you're just ahead of the curve that's fantastic i like to use overlapping ribbon candy for bigger areas right so remember i like to quilt my stuff to death you know if i have like a four inch border i might overlap it so that it gives it a little bit more density so we're going to talk about how to do that and i'll tell you the trick to make sure it looks intentional because it can really easily look like you just messed up so the first part starts the same right if nothing else we'll have this very first part down before you're done with this live chat but the next time when i swing up and come around i'm going to make them overlap okay here's the trick though i want it to look intentional so it needs to overlap by about a quarter of an inch or more if it only overlaps a little bit it's just going to look like you tried to make them touch and didn't quite make it okay so if you're going to make that mistake or you're going to do it go big go all the way go quarter inch or even more another thing i want to point out is i really really want to make sure i don't quilt the top and bottom of this into the edge of the area because then it's just going to look like wishbones it'll kind of cut off that curve and not that there's any problem with it looking like wishbones but dang it if i took the time to quilt overlapping ribbon candy i kind of want it to show up so those would be the two things i would watch out for and then as you're going just overlapping them now here's a little caveat if you have quilted the traditional ribbon candy for quite a while you might find this variation difficult i know i did i was like i'm so used to making them touch it feels wrong to try to overlap it so just know that you might find this easier harder depending on your experience so here we can see i have it overlapped and then one thing i will point out i'm just gonna go until i get to the end of the area but if it bothers you that last little loop not having the overlap it's okay we can fill that in we can just add a bit of traveling and pretend like we're quilting part of that ribbon candy so you can definitely make that work for you so again i'm going to use overlapping ribbon candy i use it probably more than the traditional but especially in larger areas and we can see again a little bit of what that looks like we want to make it look intentional we want to make it look like we're doing it so i want to show you also a couple areas in irregularly shaped areas so we're going to talk about that too but if you can look around there's kind of this diamond with that ribbon candy in there using this design in irregularly shaped areas is really fun okay so we saw this with wishbones the case is definitely the same with the ribbon candy as well if you think about it we are just using the edges of our area as a guide and we're just going from side to side now if those areas get further apart they just happen to be wider and if they get narrower they happen to be shorter so if that is in a regular area it can still fit it even if it's more geometric or even wavy so here we can see the overlapped in a wedge shape so a regular area kind of like i was talking about earlier but combining it with the traditional to the overlap it's just going to fill that in nicely so you can kind of have fun with that combine them together or do them all overlap all right so let's look at this in an irregular area basically anything that's not a straight rectangle it could be between quilting designs it could be between a block and the edge of the area it could be you know between two blocks whatever the thing is i'm going to keep quilting until i get ready to run into the edge and i'm going to begin my loop and come back around the trickiest part with this is just being comfortable with knowing some of them are going to look weird you're going to get areas that are too small or too big right next to each other and you might think oh it doesn't look right just keep going it's going to be fine i promise so um filling in the area as much as possible with this particular one when i'm doing this in between other designs it's usually a filler and it's usually its only job is to show off the thing that it's you know in between just kind of flatten that so i'm not worried too much if they're not perfect i am trying to make sure that i'm filling in that whole area as much as possible and that means i might quilt it really close to the edge if that's quilted line as much as possible but that's just that's just my own thing so here we can see i used it on the top and bottom on this example in between quilting and the edge of the area really easy way to do that to fill it in and give you a nice curvy bit without you know the density of the back and forth lines so this might be something i put around something else that i want to give it a nice filler but i don't want to you know make it like whoa here it is it's kind of right in between so again um as the area gets bigger those are going to get taller and it's smaller it gets smaller it's just how it works or on the top of this quilt you can see another example of that between the edge of the area and those wavy lines it's a great way to break it up give yourself something else to do i'm easily bored but easily amused tends to even out eventually but again irregular areas this is how i use it a lot all right so hopefully i've talked you into liking it you're like okay okay i think i'm gonna get a shot just know there's other ways you can use this design so even though i like to use it in strips and sashing and borders you can use it as an all-over design so let's pretend you have a whole big area whether it's a big block whether it's the whole quilt and you can use your marking pen or your marking tool to mark sections so those horizontal lines are markings that i've made to divide it up into smaller areas to make it more manageable and then i can just fill in that space with the ribbon candy until the whole area is filled in this is great practice if you are struggling with it you're like i just i want to love it but i can't get it you do this over a whole quilt you'll have it you'll have it mastered especially if it's a busier fabric you can't see the quilting anyway anyway once you fill in the whole area then you can just remove those marking lines and you have this nice consistent texture over the whole area a little bit unusual but definitely lots of fun and this kind of shows you what that looks like on a quilted sample and you can kind of have fun with these too i mean you can mark out where it's wider on one end and narrower on the other or you can make them all the same size you can have a lot of fun with that but just make sure you fill in everything as much as possible so definitely a nice texture for an area of the quilt that you know you want to add something to another way you can do it in background areas is quilt rows of them and then fill them in with something else this is again how i like to manage quilts especially on my sewing machine i like to take that area and break it up into chunks and fill it in it's kind of filled in and kind of continue on just makes it a little bit easier to manage and if you remember when i talked about combining designs a couple weeks ago i said use what you feel comfortable to trans you know transition to what feels uncomfortable so if you like quilting swirls putting those in between your ribbon candy kind of gives you a little bit of break a little bit of a mental rest before you do it again so again just another way to use it all right let's talk about corners because you know it's all fun and games so you have to turn a corner now if you watch the wishbones live chat i talked about how i have three different ways i turn the corners with the wishbone the first one was to pivot it around that corner i will say for the most part i don't do that with a ribbon candy i really don't like how it looks trying to pivot it or quilt it in that area so this is how i would handle larger borders i would just imagine that line from the inner corner to the outer corner and fill in that area with the ribbon candy if i were to be doing this on a slightly bigger border this is going to kind of help it fill it in and just make it easier than turning that corner and sometimes this would be the case especially if i have some kind of pieced border and so this wrap around this is a bigger block that kind of broke down but you can see in the corners where i'm quilting that ribbon candy and it gets smaller and then i switch now i did alternate designs i went right into that wishbone but that's a perfect example of how you could use it in that corner but if i'm being honest with you that's not even what i do a lot what i do probably 95 of the time is just skip it i just do something different in that corner it's so much easier and it still looks great so if i had something like this i'm just going to imagine that that border corner is a square i'm going to quilt my ribbon candy up to that and then switch design switch to something else and then continue on the other side and even though i've done a square that kind of echoes in on itself you could do a swirl you can do continuous curve you can do anything just something different in there so you don't have to even think about it now i will say there is an exception to that rule i will go around the corner if it's not a 90 degree angle so if you think about a border corner 90 degree or right angle if it's a little bit more subtle or it's like kind of opened up a little bit like this i will wrap it around the corner so if it's like a 60 degree angle or something like that if it is um it's a little bit easier to turn that corner so i'm thinking like pieced hexagons if you've ever worked on a quilt like that or this kind of border that turns a corner but it's at an angle it's a lot easier than that right angle and this example i found just today i was so excited to find it another example of wrapping it around the corner so this is kind of where i use the quilting to make this big kind of octagon and then just had those corners to work with i'll show you what it looks like on the back so i will turn the corner if it's not that 90 degree if it's you know different then i i will i'll make it work so a lot of fun all right one other another way that you can really make this look a little bit more custom is to add echoing okay so i talked about this in wishbones but i didn't really break it down for you echoing is just going to give you a little bit of separation between the quilting and the edge of the area and i echo it first and then fill in so i'm quilting my line across the edge from whatever i'm working with but then i'm going to use traveling along the side to echo back so traveling or stitching in that seam is going to help me maneuver around the area and make it so much easier now that i have my area defined then i can go ahead and fill it in with that ribbon candy design so that was something i didn't really go into on the wishbone i am adding echoing but i'm not breaking thread i'm just traveling and moving and moving on and here you can see an example of that with not only the wish bone but or not only the ribbon candy but a variation of the wishbone i love how the echoing separates it from the other pieces it just gives a little bit more of a custom look and it doesn't take that much longer so if you have a particular block or something you want to show off this is a great way to do it or if you're working on a quilt that has curved flying geese people i'm like this quilt is crazy it's by carl hinch and i was like oh there's no i would ever be able to piece this but i'm gonna quilt it and really show off those beautiful pieces with that echoing and the ribbon candy so echoing is definitely an easy way to really give your quilting a custom look so hopefully though you'll feel inspired with all those examples like okay if nothing else hopefully they make you feel like inspired to give it a shot so i'm sure there's a few questions that have come through jessica do we have any questions on that i know the ribbon candy i promise it just takes practice people hate hearing that imagine taking a class paying for it and i'm like oh it just takes practice okay one question this is great i didn't talk about this mine slowly gets smaller how can i stay consistent practice um consistency is always going to come with practice but if you're working with a defined area really look to that edge you know you're using that edge as a guide when you get about a quarter or a little bit more than a quarter of an inch away begin your turn and that will kind of help you another thing could be marking it out and then just kind of quilting i will say that though the more you practice the design it gets easier to keep that size consistent whether it's bigger or smaller but um on the opposite side if you're having trouble keeping it consistent well then just echo around it and fill it in either one's going to be fine my loops always lean how do i go straight okay so that's kind of that thing i was talking about where you have to swing out to really come back that's going to keep you from leaning right so imagine that backwards s or imagine that part of that heart you know that you see there another thing that could help and i didn't i should have drew this out for you if you look at your area and imagine rectangles right you can even mark your rectangles your s your s is going to fit that rectangle and when you flip it that's also going to fit the rectangle so they should be the same width no matter which direction it is but the fact that we're doing it in one movement feels like we're going way out there and coming back so hopefully that helps um if it doesn't i promise it's just that you're not coming out enough to come back so you have to really swing out there and i don't know why i move my hands because that's not helping you but i feel like it makes my words make more sense i don't know it is what it is i'm ending up with eyelashes on the back as i'm going around the curve do i need to slow down you it depends um it could be that you need to slow down or you need to just speed up the machine so those eyelashes if they're happening in one part of the design not all the time just one part it just means there's a movement there that's not as similar as the rest like maybe you're moving faster or you're pulling the quilt a little bit more try not to get frustrated by that it will work itself out but i will say with this design it's you're kind of doing curves and straightaways a little bit and so it's going to be a little bit of that play in between the speed of your machine and your hands and it it will come with practice i know i'm sorry to say that it doesn't sound good but it is true but if you're getting eyelashes just on that part it could mean that you need to speed up a little bit but try to make your machine match your hands so if you need to speed up your machine or slow it down so it matches your hands that's going to be a little bit easier i'm left-handed and have trouble connecting left to right do you remember do you recommend tracing right to left absolutely i should have said this you can trace either way you want i mean kind of like the wishbone ideally we want to be able to quilt this design in all different directions but when we're learning we don't want to learn that way that's too much to learn let's learn it one direction and then turn the corner whatever feels comfortable for you even though i kind of go left to right you might find up and down is better or even right to left it doesn't matter so try all four different directions in whichever one makes you feel less sick that's the one you should try so yes any update on the next quilt along little happy face i love it yes so that is coming along great all of our test prints have been approved we got fabric coming in we are tentatively looking at announcing it the beginning of october and you know i love my live chat crew so i'm going to be announcing it here so i'll keep you updated i'm waiting just to see how things come in before i give it a final date but we're looking we're looking right it's beginning october to announce it so i'm so excited it's very colorful very bright it is probably one of my favorites i'll say although each one is my favorite the one that i'm at is usually my favorite but it's gonna be fun and i'm looking forward um to showing it to you and also i'm trying to incorporate no promises but i'm trying to think about how do i make this easier for the long armors so i'm thinking maybe different quilting diagram placements for long armor so we'll just see what comes out so so excited to tell you guys about that it's coming really soon maybe the week after next if jessica lets me i'll announce the week after next we'll see how it goes anyway all right well i'll see you next week for the live chat where we're gonna go live from the quilt shop and if you can't make it to that area no problem we'll be on here and i appreciate you guys watching and hanging out with me
