    I thought this was going to help me organise my scraps but you just talked about other people and blocks. That is not organising. I stopped listening half way through as it was mostly rambling and no information, sorry.

    • @MaryMorningstarJohnson
      @MaryMorningstarJohnson 8 месяцев назад

      I appreciate you giving it a try! I wish you well on your hunt for a great video on scrap organization.

  • @HandmadeCreations

    I also wanted to mention, I have electric 8 software for creating patterns. It is great! There is also a software and or app called pre quilt. It works great to insert fabrics so you can see how you need to position and place fabrics. I think it’s free with limits and or you can purchase. You can also design your quilt in it as well. It looks pretty easy to use. I just found it about a week ago and I haven’t had time to dig too deep in it. What’s great about it is their are other designers and tons of companies with their fabrics already uploaded so you can just select it there and insert in your quilt arrangement. If they don’t have the fabric you need there, it is easy to just take a picture and upload then insert. Just might be something to look at. If nothing else you can view the quilt the way you would like it to turn out just by clicking or tapping to move and manipulate until it’s the way you like it. It gives me a better visual.

  • @HandmadeCreations
    @HandmadeCreations Год назад

    This is a very good visual for beginners. I am new to quilting but I have watched my Mom make quilts for many years. I helped my Mom make a quilt for me. It’s a King size and she gave it to me and told me to get it quilted because she couldn’t afford to have it done because it was a king. My Mom passed away two years ago and I inherited half of her supplies which was tons. I got her fancy sewing machine she used and she already gave me a super nice embroidery machine 4 years before she passed away. So I never had the quilt quilted.. I recently purchased a manual quilting frame so I can hand quilt it myself. I know it will take me a while to complete it, but I want it to be extra special for when my only child receives it when I am gone. She was super close to my Mom and she tells me I am her whole world, so I know it will mean so much more if I personalize it by hand quilting it. I do have a machine quilting frame that I also received from my Mom, but I don’t want to use it to do that quilt. I am looking forward to getting it finished.

    Love your vid. I just bought her template set made by Paper Pieces on ebay for a super great price, But I am holding out to get a better price on the book, $64 is too much for me, lol. Now I need a travel case, I have a bunch of those snap cases already in smaller sizes they used to have them at Dollar General, Walmart, etc. also. Now I need a bigger size! The only thing I haven't settled on is thread because everyone has a favorite for different reasons, I have heard Wonderfil, Guterman, etc. I love the kaleidoscope looks to the blocks and look forward to mixing and matching shapes to get that look. Corey Yoder just came out with a new line called Sunwashed that has pretty red, yellow and navy blue. Tfs, Lu

    • @MaryMorningstarJohnson
      @MaryMorningstarJohnson Год назад

      Thank you so much!! I will definitely look up Sunwashed. And yes, $64 is definitely pricey!!! You will have to keep me updated on your work. I am still working away at mine. Maybe one day I can post a video of the finished product 😂.

      Hello Douglas! I am so sorry for my late response! I am going to be getting back into adding videos soon. What stitching are you referring to? Quilting on my machine? Hand stitching the applique pieces down? Thanks!

  • @dinahcisco821
    @dinahcisco821 2 года назад

    You can label the fabric in the selvage edge like printed fabric. I write the name of the fabric with a micron pen along the selvage edge of the fabric so I don't have to worry about losing a paper label.

    • @MaryMorningstarJohnson
      @MaryMorningstarJohnson 2 года назад

      Thank you!! That is a fantastic idea and I intend to use that moving forward! I also plan to make more videos this new year so stay tuned!! You may just get to see your idea in use. :)

    Thank you for sharing how to develop a quilt pattern. There are a plethora of quilt patterns for purchase. I am always impressed with the ingenuity of pattern designers! Your 6 steps are easy to follow, but realistically (as you know) it takes incredible time and dedication to arrive at the final step! My favorite are the first three steps :) It was fun to see a sneak preview of your "Ode to Tula" quilt, thanks and best wishes!

  • @DaHawkFan
    @DaHawkFan 3 года назад

    This video is not only packed with numerous Tula Pink Free Spirit Linework fabrics, but also showcases great products, and awe-inspiring ideas!!! All of Tula's linework designs are beautiful, but my two favorite are the peacock print and her pencil illustration print. I was very impressed with the beautifully quilted "By Annie Bag" that I purchased from you!!! It was gifted to a teacher who loves panda bears. You did a GREAT job quilting Tula's panda bear print into an impeccably adorable bag...adding Tula's aqua & purple stripe and her aqua & purple polka dot prints for the lining and trims were absolutely perfect choices! The zipper glided open and closed so smoothly and the Renaissance Ribbon pull added nice functionality as well as more beauty to the already gorgeous bag! Needless to say, the teacher was moved to tears and absolutely loves it!!! I plan to buy more "By Annie Bags" from you in the near future! Thank you!!!

    Wow, Mary, this was an awesome Fabric Review! From the gorgeous "eye candy" of the Kismet fabric collection to how you will be incorporating it into the Sew By Row quilt design and then topping off this fabric review with your "process video." Very impressive! Your artistic acumen shines once again!

  • @DaHawkFan
    @DaHawkFan 3 года назад

    Great quilt pattern! I love how you will be using fabric rather than paints...your color palette is gorgeous! What will be the finished size? Looks like it is a bit challenging and will take some precious time...best wishes!

    @DaHawkFan 3 года назад

    The Kaleidoscope Panel Play quilt is exceptional and would certainly be a welcomed and treasured gift! Until now, there has not been a panel quilt that I have found appealing. But I love how this one has a pieced border and then quilted on the panel interior...like you said, great for the novice quilter. Thank you for "keeping it real"...I appreciate how you shared the challenge of juggling your personal life with your professional life. You do a great job with both!!!

    • @MaryMorningstarJohnson
      @MaryMorningstarJohnson 3 года назад

      Thanks, mom! I also, as mentioned, have not really ever found a panel that I like. This panel has been very inspirational to me!!

    @DaHawkFan 3 года назад

    What a special tribute to Tula Pink in your creative "Ode to Tula" quilt! Her fabric color palette is bright and beautiful; the pink swan heart fabric made me feel warm and happy. Thank you for you calling attention to the incredible details of the illustrations, it definitely made me appreciate her fabric line even more. I look forward to your future Tula Pink fabric reviews!

    I would be wise to start quilting now for next Christmas! Your new spin on old quilting ideas are so admired...especially the Dresden snowflake with the dainty snowflake stitching...now that's innovation!

Love the simple scrap ideas...the Christmas trees and Missouri Star blocks are so sweet and sure to warm any home!

    Your artistic abilities shine! Love the potpourri of ideas...a glimpse of abstract art history woven into quilting...the use of retro scrap fabrics for making an abstract (chevron) quilt block and the use of scraps to design and piece blocks for your nursery inspiration. I appreciate how you shined a beautiful light on abstract art and scrap quilt piecing while weaving it into the gamut of life...mature to the innocent. Very inspirational and creative! Thank you!

    I can't throw away fabric either. For years I used small random pieces or 2.5" squares as leaders and enders. I just keep adding to them until I can get a 9.5" block. I have several tops put together using them. Someday I'm going to get them quilted.

    • @MaryMorningstarJohnson

    Easy??? Wow!!! Absolutely love the gorgeous Knitted Star quilt square that you made!!! The design appears to have a time consuming and tedious quality, so it was nice to hear that it goes together well. Like you said, it is great that the pattern can be made into a wall hanging, a throw, or a larger quilt. Good Luck with making future Knitted Star quilt squares; can't wait to see your finished art piece!!! I would be remiss not to mention that the vibrantly colored (Libs Elliott fabric) quilt was impressively stunning!!!

    Thanks for explaining that it's okay to have a few imperfections. It's easy to become discouraged when little puckers won't iron out! As always, your quilting is a beautiful work of art!!!
