Maybe you could cover buttons with the smaller pieces?

I loved that you shared the notes and letters with us. The kindness shown by the viewers gives me hope. An idea to incorporate the notes into your crazy quilts is to transfer some of the notes to material using heat transfer paper. Thank you for creating these videos for our enjoyment.

No don't get it fixed or a new one. I have a 2013 Nissan X Trail which I got when it was 3 years old and it is a gem. The only money I've spent on it is tyre's and to get it serviced each year. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one I love, love, love it. Good luck

I thought that I was the only one who liked adding the inside seams to the outside of a quilt. Neat.

That is the best use of a WhoGivesACrap toilet paper wrapper! They would be so pleased! 😄 Mine get crumpled into balls and turned into cat toys.

So excited to see my package get opened. (The hedgehog from Australia). I was worried that it hadn't made it all the way from Australia, sorry for the water-damage, but it seems like the plastic bag did its job!

You make my heart smile

Hello Shannon ❤❤😊😊

Thanks for the company as I am painting my hallway... so much cutting in of fiddly angles!! So lovely to see all your scrounged items... I also love furnishing my house with things I scrounge, and how it gives you the freedom to paint or upcycle them into what you want, without feeling bad about modifying new items. Also, just have to ask if the ladder bookshelf you built is really your favorite over the big cutting desk in your sewing room... personally I think that might be the most awesome thing you have built!

Hi, I'm doing house maintenance paperwork while watching :) I am team unscented laundry soap! I tend to throw thrifted finds in with regular laundry and that'll "taint" a whole load with the strong scents of other people's laundry soap. I don't mind things that are lightly scented but laundry stuff is generally SCENTED!!!! I would say keep your old washing machine until it dies on you. Older washers are often easy to repair, I've replaced the feed dogs on mine, thanks youtube for the help! If you are in a part of the world where you aren't in a desert and aren't drawing from an underground aquifer and you have good water treatment, the additional water usage isn't that big of a deal. You are already economizing on water usage by only laundering things when they truly need it :)

Hey, Shannon - I just wanted to say that in this video and the more recent ones on your main channel, I have loved hearing your spontaneous laugh! Not that your regular vids aren't friendly or funny, they definitely are, I guess I just enjoy the genuineness that comes with speaking to camera. The little "dooing!~" at the end got me good!

I love all of the fabric that you received. I can't wait to see the quilt in progress. It is going to be beautiful. Happy quilting!❤

Introduced my sister to English Paper Piecing recently because of your video! We're learning as we go and trying out different techniques (like she's using glue she saw recomended to attach the fabric to the hexagon paper pattern pieces, its supposed to be easy to get the glue to separate and wash off, and I want to try using the sewing machine to attach the hexagons to each other) its an awesome project to take with me in the car :) Love all the fabric and notions you've been sent and can't wait to see what you make of it all!

i have a craft-supplies thrift store near me that is AMAZING, all their stuff is super affordable and i've found so many vintage notion gems and stuff there. I wish we had an online version like a crafter social media with a craft-items-swap which was either free/swap for swap/very affordably priced so people could clear out unused/unwanted stuff in their stash to find homes with people who DO want it!

I love garbage hunting and thrifting.

My grandmother made crazy quilts from the indestructible ever popular 60s and 70s polyester. Those quilts are extremely heavy and look as good as the day she made them. 😂

I remember our sewing teacher saying you will never be as good as your sister Denise can see sew a lot of things but I'm self taught and make Victorian Gothic steampunk inspired outfits for myself and Friends designed by myself 😂 I even made my first even bed patchwork quilt was baby one's as well

Just had to look up fabric yoyo's usually to make rosettes or rag doll using the disk as body parts hope that's of help 💜 🌹

I like these chill videos and you could be doing anything and I would be entertained. Thanks for this feel good video.❤❤

“They can F*#* right off!” As a trans daughter’s momma bear, I’m cheering right now. And as a Texan, I don’t have much to cheer about these days…

Oh my gosh! The kimono silk looks so lovely against your purple wall. You should just put it in a frame or two and hang it!

To be fair, a lot of us in Minnesota wish we were in Canada right now! Love that! 😂

I am so thrilled with the idea of a viewer scrap swap!

I could watch this content for hours, the mixture of fabric and stories and kindness is just beautiful xx

I used to have a fab fabric stash. Seeing all of these gorgeous and fun scraps is making me miss my old quilting days. So awesome to see all of this treasure!!!

The fabrics are incredible! I was wondering, given their range, and cuteness factor, if there were enough animal prints to make something smaller. A makeup bag, or a bag to hold your hexagons in while travelling? Everything is lovely but these are so special, and specific, that I feel they deserve a special project of their own. Can't wait till the next unpacking video 😊

Fabric swap YES!

You won’t need to go to a fabric store for a long while!! How sweet people are! Generous too❤😂

Yo-yos are made from scraps of fabric that have been collected over the lifetime of a quilter. They usually are sewn together and then laid over a solid white bedspread, at least that’s how I’ve always seen them done. I saw a gorgeous quilt made out of Yo-yos at my state fair this year, she had used the grandmothers flower garden pattern as the base idea and made it out of colors that reminded the quilter of the gardens of the palace of Versailles. I wish I could post a photo of it here in the comments because it was so pretty! Those big pieces she said would have ended up in a landfill look like their all interior design samples, I studied at a school that had an interior design program and even though that wasn’t my program I weaseled my way into the sample room which was filled with donated samples from design firms and would just spend time looking at the books and stacks of fabrics admiring them all and dreaming of what I’d do if I had infinite money to redecorate my bedroom, lol. I am so excited that you’ve opened up a PO Box again so I am gonna have to see what fabric scraps I can send your way. I’ve already got a few in mind and so I am gonna have to get cracking so I can get them into the mail so they have plenty of time get to you for this round.

Great video. You are very resourceful. No one would know your furnishings are second hand, you have done an amazing job giving them NEW life.

You did more talking then showing your house

My house is decorated with second-hand stuff. And a lot of stuff I bought new back in the 1980s and 90's I'm still using today.

To the person who sent a little piece of Aida with a cross stitched cute hedgdog (29min approx): this idea is fantastic. I have ton of aida and embrodery floss and you just sent my brain on fire. YOUR IDEA IS FANTASTIC THANK YOU

This was so much fun! Loved seeing all the different fabrics and notions and omg, that handknit lace!! I think that really thick upholstery fabric could make for a perfect toiletry bag or be part of a bigger bag. Would give it great structure and it's so lovely and tactile-looking as well!

You are sooo talented!!!😊

Loved seeing this video

There’s a company (or several) making envelopes like the one at minute 24 out of old, outdated maps. Instead of throwing them away, they get re-used this way. <3 The map is in German and the company is here, too. Have seen several of those and it’s always fun to open a letter and being greeting with a coincidental map of my old digs of all possible maps.

Thank you for keeping me company while doing boring tasks. You made my time much more interesting. 😊

You are very talented. Thanks for sharing.

You could create a journey with all the envelopes you received

When I retired from nursing’ I saved all my scrub uniforms and made a quilt from them. I still have lots of that fabric. I should dig some out and send them along. They are 100% cotton and good quilt weight. My tops were in good condition but the pants were mostly thinner from more frequent use. I went to Goodwill and found 3X to 5X pants for $5 apiece. There is a lot of fabric in 5X scrub pants.😂😂😂

😭😭😭 37:23 🥰my first parcel I had done up to send to Shannon had been rejected by Australia Post and Canadian Postal services as the computer would not accept PO BOX address that Shannon had issued last year due to some Canadian restrictions. I had became so stressed out and upset in the post office at the time, I had to pull the package apart in the Post Office and had to make sure that the envelope stayed flat. I had so many pieces in my original package that I really wanted to send. The envelope was a standard one from the post office that they gave me along with this envelope measuring tool too test out the envelope as it had to pass through a set size slot. Anything bigger and I had to fill out a deceleration of content form for customs. I was so upset that by the time I wrote out the address on the woefully envelope, I had not even noticed my mistake, I was just happy that I was able to finally send something that was from the very project I was working on at the time. The fabric with the bright reds waves was from the Japanese Jelly Roll that I had bought on a whim so I could use the strips in a bag I made out of an old pair of jeans that I was making for the craft show. I still have the back pocket that was part of my original parcel along with all the items I was not allowed to send. (Still got them all sat on my work table in the original packaging) The cream fabric with the roses on was from fabric that I had found at a closing down factory that use to make be-spoke bedding, there should have been a large rose with it as well🤔 I had so much of the fabric, but non of it was long enough to make a bed sheet with it, so I turned the fabric into 3 medium sized shopping bags that had a special lining to keep the shopping cool. I had to rewind the video so I could pause it just to confirm it from the short cover note I had added which could just be made out🤣😂yep my writing and name could be seen in that 3 seconds it was visible. So that’s the story of how I ended up writing down the address wrong on the envelope🤷🏽‍♀️it was not how I was expecting to see my contribution to the project to be seen, but very pleased that it did arrive even if it had one piece missing😿.

I loved seeing all the wonderful fabrics and notions and stickers from viewers! So fun. I’ll have to see what fun bits I can send you too. I hope you have many years ahead enjoying your crafting. I’ve spent a lifetime at it, and loved it all. I stopped sewing much on my last move. I’m slowing down and my sewing machine needs some maintenance, but the urge to sew again is back. Guess I’ll see where it takes me this time! A fabric swap would be great fun!

awwww, I am glad you found a way to publish this (=creating the second channel), it was such a delight to follow. Now I am itching to dive into my limited but definitely scrappy fabric stash and find something for you. Maybe even some of my babywearing wraps scraps... Only thing I fear are the questionable shipping times from Prague to the US. Sometimes it takes a week, sometimes three months.

I want that tablecloth!❤

The yo-yos are traditionally called Suffolk puffs. When sewn together they are used for table runners, quilts, and cushion covers. When strung together (trough the centre) they ca be used to make clowns and other toys.

I do not sew, but my mom was and sister is. Loved looking at all the scraps you got. By the way, I live in the St. Paul area off of 35. Born and raised in Minnesota . I agree, especially this year with the Vickings.

Well that was absolutely fun, thank you. As for those yo yos, I have one big tablecloth and two small runners made with them. The larger one, I have over my antique trunk that I use as a bedstand in my spare bedroom. I have seen them also sewn into a bedspread. Thanks again, love this channel!

Fun video. Love all your scraps.

I usually watch your house renovations. It was fun to see you more relaxed and really enjoying being in your element - fabric! I enjoyed this. I will have to see if I have any fabric to send. By the way, I love the "Dog is my copilot" sticker!
