Добавлен 18 мар 2021
Every quilt has a story. My channel exists to share the stories of my quilts, as well as provide viewers interested in quilting with tips, tutorials, and inspiration to participate in this time-honored craft. I hope to help someone learn a new technique, feel motivated to give quilting a try (or make something new), or gain an appreciation for quilts.

Spooky & Sweet Door Hanging | Round Eyes & Rosy Cheeks Variation
Fat Quarter Shop released a free door hanging (or wall hanging) quilt pattern called Spooky and Sweet. I wanted to make it, but adjusted it so that my ghost characters have rounded eyes and rosy cheeks. I'll show you how I did it in this video!

Adorable! I love the extra features you added to it.
Thanks so much!
Love the pink cheeks! Great ideal! Love how it turned out
Thank you!
I just came across your channel, it was fun to watch. I love using antiques or unusual objects for pin cushions. The sad iron information was interesting. Which antique store did you find your treasures? The wooden spools make cute miniature pincushions too.
Thanks for watching! I have found several potential pin cushions at the Red Door Antique Mall in Mount Vernon, WA.
I watched several videos on paper, piecing, and yours was by far the most complete and well spoken. You’re calm voice walked me through it. I’ve been Quilting for about 60 years and I’ve just started paper piecing it was quite intimidated. So thank you for your patience and good luck with your channel.❤
This made my day to read, Rose! Thank you so much for the kind feedback.
Thank you so much for showing all 3 methods. It’s exactly what I was looking for! I have mini charm packs I want to use & was going back & forth on the grid interfacing as my local craft store has it cheap in 1” (so I was thinking 2.5 x 2 = 5” so was thinking of utilizing it that way). This would be my first bed quilt.
My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful! Best wishes on your first bed quilt!
So funny. I use similar tubs, store my overflow in the garage in a craft cabinet and.....that's my couch! 😅
Haha! Awesome!
On the edges that you remove the paper, if you based the edges down after pressing it will hold the form better and when you join them to the rest of the other blocks it will be easier for you.
Thanks for the tip, Nadine!
Thanks so much for sharing your excellent skills and expertise with EPP! This was so helpful. I’m definitely hooked.😊
Glad to hear it! It is pretty addicting!
What is sweet idea?. thank you for your video. I really enjoyed watching it.
I'm so glad! Thanks for the kind feedback!
I was born during that era and my Mom used to make dresses etc for my sister and me. I remember her going to our local mill and getting the feed sacks while we anxiously waited in the car to see what she got. What a great memory. I've been wanting to make a quilt of feedbacks. Guess I should get on it now I know more is available. Thanks.
Virginia, I love hearing people's recollections from times I didn't get to live in. Thanks for sharing your memories!
Thanks for all these tips!
You bet!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
You are so welcome!
You really helped me figure out that kicker knock! Thanks so much
Yay! Glad I could help! :)
Thanks for the tutorial I have a paper roll I got as a gift and did not know how to use it! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Steel wool helps sharpen needles.
Thanks for the tip, Linda!
So cute❤ gingham dog. And calico cat!!
The quilt you are featuring is not called trip around the world. It is called many trips around the world.
Thanks for that clarification.
I found this video at the perfect time. I was frustrated that I couldn't make HST's exactly the size that I wanted. Instead I was making them and adjusting the size of the other block pieces so they all fit together. I jumped on Amazon and ordered some Triangles on a Roll. They should be here Monday and thanks to you I now know how to use them. :)
Yay! Glad you found it helpful! I hope they work well for you. :)
Hello. Do you know the collection name of the dog one at 25:10 ?
Hi, Amy. Yes, the selvage says "Hanky Panky" designed for Exclusively Quilters. :)
@@aquiltingtale6230 Thank you
Thank you for sharing your method on HST papers. I learned a lot, i especially love the point on pressing the triangles with the paper on to prevent the distortion of the hat block. Also place the fabric that you want to press towards on the bottom. Thank you, I have saved this video to my playlist and shared with my quilting friends.. yes I did subscribe too.. ❤❤🎉🎉
I appreciate that, Lisa! Thank you. :)
Great tutorial. I’ve just started EPP and have only used hexagons. I want to try different shapes. Loved seeing you try different shapes. Just subscribed.
Thank you so much!
Excellent demo and instructions! Thank you for the video
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for all the great ideas...I especially liked the idea of putting your future quilt fabric and pattern in a storage box so it's all ready to go when you want to start your project.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing wonderful idea
Thank you so much 😊
Love the colors you’ve chosen 💕💕🧡🧵
Thanks, Helen!
Beautiful block
Cant wait to see the rest. Well done!
💕
Thank you
I find if I draw the circle on the back of the fabric it’s easier to follow
Good tip! Thanks! :)
It's lovely. Great save! ❤
Thank you! 😊
TYFS Shalen! Your quilt top turned out beautifully and unique. I love it. Your “Save” is encouraging to me to pull out an old top of mine and view it in a different light to make it beautiful as well. Congrats for your perseverance 💕🧵🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yay! Thank you for the kind words, Helen! Let that creativity flow! 💕
Nice Save!
I think it turned out beautiful!
Thank you so much!
I love it!
Way to have fun and not beat yourself over it. Positive outcome.
Very pretty colours. Enjoyed your perseverance always so positive. Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your content💕
That means a lot, Jenn! Thank you! :)
It looks really good!
Thanks! 🥰
Try tracing your templates on the backside of the fabric. In some cases the line should be easier to see. I’m enjoying your EPP episodes very much. You’re doing a great job.
Thanks for the tip! Glad you're enjoying! :)
Where do u get the stand
I got it from my local quilt shop, but it's called "Sue Daley Little Keeper" if you want to search for it online. :)
What fun Summer quilt shop hop. Thanks for sharing. Happy quilting
Thanks for watching, Annette!
What an awesome tribute! Are there just 4 videos? Are you still teaching?
Hey, there! So far there are only the four videos (thanks for checking!), but I plan to make more. I just started my 19th year as a classroom teacher last week! The beginning of the school year is always so hectic, both as a teacher and parent, but I'll be making more videos soon. :)
I love your demonstrations/ examples/ thank you!! 🙂😍
My pleasure!
Glad I found your video, I am incorporating a selvage into my label, great idea. 🎉
Thanks so much, I bought the panels a long time ago.I'm ready to try it know.
I know you are very busy, but do you have a tutorial for sewing EPP on to the quilt and do you pull out the paper?
Yes! :) This was actually a recent video and it addresses both these things. Here's the link to the video: ruclips.net/video/K8WfV2pTkKM/видео.html Enjoy, Jean!
Gorgeous finds. My Sister has been doing this for years..she has quite a collection of pin cushions...you will cherish and enjoy yours also. The information on the iron was interesting. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial ❤️ the black and white dog is adorable...and multi purposes..dish in front to hold clips..pin cushion...backhole you could keep friction pin or glue stick...can't wait to see what you decide ❤
Thanks, Pam! I definitely use the black and white dog a lot. My fabric marking pencils/markers are in the back hole, and Wonder Clips in the front dish (and top of head). Wish I could see your sister's collection. Shopping for unique holders is part of the fun of making these pin cushions!
My favorite time in history . People were very resourceful!
Hi Shalen, missed your videos, but glad you had some time off in the summer. Your quilt is stunning. It looks like you might live on or near Whitby. I'm north of you in Vancouver. I have been working on a Storm at Sea for some time. It was one of the first I attempted not knowing it's level of difficulty. I think you made the right choice with the papers. I am using cut-out templates. My husband may never see it or I might make it a small wall hanging and call it quits.
Good eye! I grew up on Whidbey Island, and still live close by. I have family in Vancouver. :) A Storm at Sea quilt is definitely a labor of love, but the results are so stunning, wall-hanging or larger. Good luck finishing yours!
i love your fabric choices... you truly have a natural talent and eye for quilting; when did you first start quilting? i'm very green - got a late start in my 60's and now entering my 70s but i love to keep busy... i've made a few small quilts but hope to get more deeply involved, and EPP has always interested me.. i find stitching very relaxing, and have done embroidery since i was very young... i want to say thank you on behalf of your young students: what a great way to teach them so many things: an eye for complementary and opposite colors, textures of fabrics, cutting, stitching, focus and concentration - and most of all, building confidence in learning a new skill while having fun! they are very fortunate to have you as their guide and teacher, and i can say pretty confidently that you will always be one of their favorite teachers that they never forget... can't wait to explore your youtube channel more and gain more insight and knowledge from you! 💕
Wow, Robin, your comment means so much! I started quilting in 2009 as a way to get to know my mother-in-law more (my husband and I were only dating at that point). She had several quilts around the house and I asked her if she could teach me how to make one. For several years, I only quilted when we were able to get together (she moved with her husband a couple states away to retire), but around 2019, my love for it really ignited, and I've been working on multiple projects ever since. It's such a wonderful creative outlet! You're right about sewing helping my students concentrate. At one point, the classroom was so unusually silent, I joked with them, "Who are you, and what have you done with my class?"😂 The ones who quickly caught on loved helping their peers, which was a huge help to me. I hope you enjoy exploring my channel and find all kinds of inspiration and support on your quilting journey! 💕
