Lovely idea! Cant wait to see the decorations.

Your quilt looks so comfy, good job!

I love that you recycled so many things, even the crappy fabric (and I got taken in by that website too😢).

❤

So simple, so lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Love it! Gonna make one after the holidays. Great winter project. Many thanks!

Great!!!

"The fabric glue is fired!" So funny! 😂 Some days are just like that. I've been working on an embroidery project for a Christmas gift and I had to fire the fabric I was using yesterday! Things are going a little better today... but now I think I'm running out of the color floss that I need! Oh boy! ~Kelly

Love it!

Just wanted to comment and say I have the same sewing machine LOL. Definitely going to try this project out

Thank you. I loved your video.

I really enjoyed your video.

Wow! Stunning quilts & the great descriptions were extremely fascinating to read!! These women were NEVER IDLE!! Every minute seemed to have a purpose, even if they enjoyed what they were doing, they were spinning wool, cotton, & linen, in order to make their clothes & quilts -- everything was utilitarian, but their creativity & high skill levels has to be appreciated & admired because they were so ingenious & talented!! Thank you for creating this video!! I’m so glad your channel appeared on my feed this morning!!

I love your style of quilting! Thanks for sharing this useful project 😊. I love your content!

What a great idea to use blanket/pillow case packaging for your vinyl! Hope it’s ok that I’m stealing that idea 😊. Have a great weekend 🎉 ~Kelly

Thank you very much for sharing your visit to the museum. I enjoyed the quilts, the written descriptions and your comments. I will try to visit the museum in my next visit to Canada. Amelia from Vienna 😊

I have been looking for a tea cozy that is simple. Love it!

Great idea

Yep! That is where they wear out!

I figure if i dont get something finished for this year, then i have a head start for next year!!!

Not sure if your sewing machine came with a walking foot “But” The walking foot will help with keeping your squares together when you’re sewing them together Also there’s an iron on stabilizer you can put on the back of your t-shirt to keep it from stretching while you’re sewing them together You could put some Fray-check on your knots to keep them from coming undone I hope I’m being helpful You’ve put a lot of work into your quilt I love the colors you used And I never thought of reusing the stuffing out of an old pillow GENIUS Thank for sharing

I love seeing all the beautiful projects and tasty produce!! Thank you for sharing this- 💜💜💜

I had to turn the volume way down again.

Very inspired to make one ! Tq for not making it "in a day" like some quilter youtubers do. We all know a project like this takes many many backbreaking hours! This piece is beautiful !!!!

Could you mark your quilt square with an air marker to put lines to sew on . And it just presses a line in the material it will disappear . I find using one very helpful good luck with your project x

The way you use tshirt fabric and your patient hand quilting is so textural and beautiful. I’m making one this winter 💙💙💙

Oh Dara!!!! I can absolutely tell how soft and cozy ☁ that quilt is all the way from here in St. Louis! All the love that went into making it shines through❤. And yep, you have inspired me to go for it. The planning begins.... A few questions: Is there a specific reason that you chose to use your shears instead of rotary cutting your pieces? (Translation: rookie sewist lacks knowledge about working with different types of fabric). Also, what type of thread did you use? (Polyester or blend or cotton? and what was the weight? Or just all-purpose thread?). Clarification: the backing you used is a flannel sheet or knit fabric? Were all the fabrics cotton or were some blends? Oh! I wish you lived next door! 🏠 Those are my questions... for now. I'm so excited! All the best! ~Kelly 😊

I have seen other quilters use a dab of fray check on the yarn knots.

I just have to say how i hate when quilters brag about a quilt in a day. Why not take your time and really enjoy the process. And i thot i was the only one who saves pillow stuffing. Lol!

No matter how hard i try, i get the colors in the wrong order. It looks so soft! You are a very encouraging teacher. Thanks!

I always plan for way more than I accomplish, so these tips are very helpful! Thank you.

Wonderful tips! Thanks for generously sharing. I am a Christmas enthusiast but rather lacking in planning.

All good advice and ideas for planning and enjoying the holidays….😊

I saw a trick for hemming slippery fabrics where you sew a straight stitch a tad shorter all along the hem and then press the hem up along the sewn line. I have tried it with success. I love your persistence.. looks great on you!

Hi Dara, I have only gifted 1 quilt outside of my family. The recipient was a good friend who was very happy to receive it. It still makes me nervous to gift a quilt. Desley🇦🇺

You look great!

Big job. The music is still overpowering.

looks nice and I like the color

I love hand sewing I find it relaxing, quiet and I can be with my husband cozy in the living room. Hmm this part is hard to put into words, but I feel it to be historical kind of time travel so to speak. I do have a treadle that I want to get using this winter for larger projects. I believe I'll be more in touch with my sewing then with an electric machine.

I’m always impressed by the work and creativity that went into a handmade gift. Your last tip is the best- let go. 💜

Beautiful items ALL. And many good thoughts on gifting handmade items. Thank you!

Just recently I made my first quilt, gave it away, I REGRETTED IT 😢, NOT EVER AGAIN.

Calling it “garbage” gives it a negative connotation. Recycling and up cycling is a good thing and shouldn’t be referred to as garbage. I’ve been using thrift store fabric and 2nd hand clothes to make things for years and never once thought of it as “garbage”. I think you’re the first person to call it that honestly.

When i make something for my family i always tell them if they dont like it, then someone at goodwill will love it. My daughter will often call and ask if sge can turn the item into something else. Of course, i say. I am so proud that she can do that!

Hello Dara! Ohhhh yes, gifting what you love to gift such as a handmade item- wellll for me it’s awesome! I agree that sometimes it isn’t appreciated, they don’t feel or l understand the feeling that it gives the crafter. I’ll never forget years ago when I married mom and were talking- I mentioned I rcvd such beautiful gifts; handmade, crystal, art. Such a vast asst. I said well I don’t want to use it, it might get broken or worn out. She said “they gave it to you to use, enjoy it, wear it out, if something should get broken you enjoyed using it” So I took her advice of almost 37 years using it, showing off how worn and loved it has been. If I recall I think one or two of a small pc has broken. Ohh how we miss her🕊️ I agree with all 7 of your ideas, even though sometimes that’s a hard pill to swallow.😝. ❤️😀

Cleaver!

Have a ball quilting!!!
