April - done is better than perfect. I didn’t see or look for the mistake. Some lucky child will be so happy! Thanks for sharing. I like your videos a lot!
Am watching this 2 years late but I saw the mistake. Have to admit I almost missed it. Still love how this quit turned out and think I will try it when I finish the quilt I'm working on now. Thanks for making the 3 yard quilts....you are an inspiration!
Caught the boo-boo. But only, as others mentioned, because you mentioned it. Its mot a biggie. Adds character. I love these books & I have all of thrm? Love, your videos & even more when your helper photo bomber jumps in! What a sweetie ❤
I am pretty sure I saw this video when it first was released a year ago because it already had been given the “thumbs up”, but I did not make a comment. I too am a fan of Donna and have several of her patterns and books. Her patterns are super fun and make the best use of the entire 3 yards of fabric which I appreciate. No waste! I love that you made a mistake in this one and didn’t rip it out to redo it. It makes the quilt a “designer” quilt because it is unique. Go April! We lived in the Lexington KY area for several years back in the 70s while my husband was getting his master’s degree. We visited friends in the Louisville area often. We found KY a wonderland of places to visit and explore. One of our favorite restaurants was the Colonel’s Lady in Shelbyvile near Louisville. It was a favorite place for those very special occasions. Definitely not like the Colonel’s KFC. We also became a fan of the Kentucky Hot Brown! We have fond memories of our time in KY and have visited there often since. I would guess the quilt shops are amazing and in abundance in that area. Thanks for sharing yourself in your videos. They always brighten my day and I do watch them multiple times when they come up on my feed. Keep them coming!
I wouldn't say even if I had spotted it, it's rude! Thanks for the videos that show you making mistakes, some of them out there are so darn perfect I would not dare attempt the project. I do cross stitch and you couldn't find one finished piece of mine where I haven't "amended the pattern"! You cheer me up and make my day better, I'm glad I found you on RUclips.
Please, please, please do more 3 yard quilt videos. I love your videos. You are so helpful. I have all the 3 Yard Quilt books and frankly, I have trouble with some of the patterns. My strip sets NEVER come out the right width. I am a really careful cutter, but I am obviously doing something wrong. I really like the way you talk as you work. I enjoy your thought process.
I feel the same way. Just keep trying. I can’t cut a straight line to save my life but it seems to get better the more quilts I make. :-). More 3 yard quilt videos coming to a screen near you. Thank you so much for watching and your kind comments. April
That is a possibility. I will have to hold my fabric up after I cut it and see how crooked it is. A friend of mine says it is because I am left handed. LOL
..that's not a 'mistake', that's the cheeky little Block that is as individual and diverse as the wonderful child you give this beautiful quilt to...OR the thing that gets fixated on FOR EVER!!😆
Yeah - it's like once you find it - you can't help but see it everytime. LOL. I am actually going to give it to my granddaughter due in August. Thank you for watching. :-) April
I have a quilting Buddy just like yours. Wherever I'm working, he's right there. One time I cut off a bunch of his fur from the end of his tail. (Ooooops) It didn't hurt him and the flat part grew out. Thank you for your cute videos. :) I love it when you're a little confused and then work it out. Helps me go for it, too.
I love your tertorials you have help me so much I love the yard quilts but have trouble with the directions but watching you make them makes it so much easier I am a picture person and watching you is great please keep doing them
April thank you I love making baby guilts but some times I run out of ideals and you help me soo much and I love love to colors that you use that is so me thank you again
I LOVE the ‘unique’ panel in your April quilt ……. And it’s not obvious unless you look for it ….. this video stars are the photo bombing cat and the voice over dog 😍. Great video again honey … and love your shirt 💖💖💖
I love these 3 yard quilts and the flexibility that they bring. I have watched several of your 3 yard videos and have really loved them!! Thank you! I know you adjust the borders etc. sometimes which I think is a great idea. I would love to see you do a 3 yard quilt with just the 3 yards and show how much waste you have left. Great videos thanks again!!
April, you are so much fun to watch, and your calm demeanor has helped me get back into quilting for the first time in 25+ years. My first three yard quilt is to the point of putting my sandwich together and to start quilting. Can't wait! I've loved to sew since I was 13 years old and did a lot of it when my kids were young. Then life happened and I had to go to work. Finally, I was able to retire about 5 years ago, and split my time between making greeting cards and sewing, and I'm loving the quilt making. Please keep your videos coming. You make it look so easy! Thank you!
You have just made my week. What a wonderful compliment. I am so glad you are back into quilting and thank you for watching me. :-). And I am so jealous that you are retired. I look forward to that one day myself. April
You're the best cat Mamma. Even when you are busy with making the the quilt, you take the time to pet, & play with kitty. I enjoyed this video, you're great. Love the quilt too. I'm glad you told us the designers name, & print's as well. I'll be looking for the fabric to sew my own,(copy "CAT") Botton quilt like tour's. lol "Sew" off I go now for a piece of chocolate. PS. I just had a thought, someone could get rich making little "quilt" chocolate bar's. Just a thought.
I was going to skip making this pattern but after seeing the way yours turned out, absolutely lovely, it is going to go on my To Do List! I am definitely loving making 3 yard quilts. I also appreciate you pointing out to deviate from the pattern to make it how we want. Uniquely ours! I doubt I would have found the mistake without you pointing it out. I think when I try this one I will see if I like a scattered buttons look on my design wall before assembling. My friend often tells me if I wouldn't point it out no one would notice.
Adorable quilt! I'm getting ready to start my first 3-yard quilt. There are so many choices to choose from. I love your video endings with chocolate, it makes me wish I had some. 😂
I saw the booboo just because I did the same with two of my squares when I made the button box quilt. its beautiful! I love it. Just found your channel and subscribed, you are so fun to watch.
I have all of her books so far and all of her paternal onlys....not in a book as she says lol....I do get whatever yardage that is also used in the binding....only because I dont do her binding....I keep it traditional. I love your RUclips channel
April, I love this pattern, it makes a very cute, quick quilt! I found the design element you were referring to and no I wouldn’t rip it out! I would say it was intentional! Besides kids don’t care!💕
Thank you for your video of Three yard quilts. I’ve started one of Donna’s patterns. Glad to see I’m not the only person that gets pieced blocks turned the wrong way. You turned the button pieced block facing the wrong direction. Its the last block in the next to last row. I’m also glad we can leave them as a testimony of how good we are.
Caught mistake only because you drew our attention to it. Most people wouldn't catch the mistake as they would be happy to be receiving a handmade quilt, a treasured gift.
I love it. So cute. That's definitely a save for me, which means I will make one sometime. Love your videos. Keep them coming. I think that one little mistake makes it interesting. I call it my signature and always ask if they can find my mistake. Sometimes I make one and sometimes I don't. They always look for them and ask where they are. I just say you have to find it. They have actually found ones I didn't know I made. lol Stay safe, stay well.
April, your quilt adventures are informative, useful, pretty and SO MUCH FUN to watch. I had to put my own crafting/quilting on hold, due to covid and cataracts. Waaah. However normal's on the horizon (pending cataract removal) and meanwhile I love,love, 💕💕 watching your videos. Thank you so much!
I hope you are able to get the cataract surgery and get to crafting and quilting. But in the meantime I am thrilled you found my channel. :-). Thank you for watching and commenting. April
Adorable! 💗💗💗 I love your fabric choices. ❤ I think the only way someone would notice your boo-boo is when you point it out, otherwise I doubt anyone would be looking for it. 😊 I love how your quilting helper, fabric weight and sewing inspector also is a RUclips photo-bomber. 🐈🐈🐈 It makes me smile. 💗😊💗 Thank you for sharing. 😊🍁🍃🍂🌻🍊
Liked how you explained the pressing. Thank you. Your quilt is very cute and so precise! I enjoy your videos. I did the same thing on my first 3 yard quilt. Love the Donna Roberts books too.! I ordered some kits in spring fabrics and they are very nice. Great fabrics for the price.
April I do believe you and I are clones!! 😂 I have a quilting helper but her favorite spot is in the floor next to my pedal. I get smacked if she doesn’t approve my 1/4” seam. 🐈🙄 I think I have figured out the misbehaving blocks. We get them lined up and ready. We leave the room for dinner, laundry rotations or sleep and they decide to party. When they hear us coming back they try to get back in their place and one goofy 🤪 never quite makes it. 😂😂😂 Keep up your awesome videos. I ALWAYS get a smile and have some chocolate!!💙💙 My fellow KY GIRL💙💙 I’m near Ashland.
@@aprilscraftroom and I am going to edit the above. I evidently can’t type either. It was supposed to say “you and I” and not “you Arabs”. Autocorrect is not my friend at times and I wouldn’t want to cause any hard feelings with anyone. I didn’t notice it when I first posted the comment. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Now I’m going to have to seriously break into the chocolate!!😂😂
I’m a fan of Donna’s, too! I’ve just made one of hers out of flannel with a Minky back for my granddaughter and I hear it’s a big hit! You know what Jenny Doan says about quilts, “Better done than perfect!” I agree! No one has ever turned down the gift of a quilt because there was a mistake in it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you April. Love your videos...you make me feel like I can do this being a new quilter. did find your boo-boo, but took me a few minutes...and it makes it unique. Love all you do. Keep up the fun videos....love your sense of humor and the fact your cat crashes your videos. If I still had mine I am sure I would be battling with them. My dog is getting too old to do the stairs, so I get left alone for quilting.....not always for handstitching downstairs...ha. ha.
Love this quilt. An easy pattern, but the fabric is so stinking cute it makes it adorable. Really love all the fabric, and the binding fabric is outstanding. Thanks for the inspiration. Right now I’m making some baby quilts in flannel. Any chance of you doing a tutorial with flannel? Again, thanks for all the tutorials. Really like watching.
Love your video! I have started to use Donna patterns, so far got 6 quilts. Glad to see someone else uses the pictures, more easily the the direction. After two quilts it became much easier than the first one. Have fun and want you to know I sooo enjoy you vids.
I am definitely a picture person, too. And I also agree after the first couple you get into the rhythm of her directions. Thank you for watching and I am so glad you enjoy my videos. :-) April
New to your show. Love Donna Robertson’s show. But with your demo I learned techniques. The cat was fun seems they have to get in the middle of what one is doing. My mother quilted from the age of 11 to 94. She would have come unglued if an animal were on the quilt. However I loved it. Keep up your shows so others can learn the simple reasons for the techniques to improving the out come of products.
Thank you. My Mom has sewn since I can remember and started quilting before I became interested. Now we get to do it together. My Grandmother however would have died if a cat had gotten on her crocheting. LOL. Thank you for watching. April
Love your videos April! Looking forward to the next ones. I dont think anyone would have noticed your "oops" if you hadn't mentioned it. It looks like the block in the 4th row down, left side is sideways. Doesn't matter. Love the quilt & your fabric choices!
Thank you for showing us that quilters don’t make mistakes, just variations of the original. Love Donna’s 3 yard quilts. Made a few of my own variations. Debi Brooks.
Pink squares wrong direction but who cares. I love it. Bought the book and fabric from Donna but haven’t started yet. I’m glad you did this one because that piecing would have confused me too. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes I caught the booboo but only because your comment made me aware that there was one to look for. I think it's cute as is and I'd leave it there and call it April's signature block ( tell folks you do to one block "on purpose" cause it's "your way of making your quilts uniquely yours")! I love it! We Kentucky girls gotta have each other's back (I'm just up the road from you in Lawrenceburg, KY)
I love your cat! How they like to inspect your fabric, lol. I too find myself buying the Donna Robertson books. That pink border really sets off your quilt, lovely job!
Dale Hollow is a beautiful lake. We have been there several times and rented a cabin. That part of Kentucky is so pretty. And there are some great quilt shops around that area. :-) April
Love your videos, you make me smile and you have inspired me to buy the books and use the patterns. $25 Australian plus $25 postage for us though - a total of approx US$65 😱
I found the mistake but I don’t think I would have if you have s said it was there. Thanks for this tutorial. I have that book and couldn’t figure out the small squares. Love your videos!😅
Hi April I love your videos and I think your sense of humor is great I love your cats and dogs I have a lot of cats so when I sew I have to keep them out otherwise I would never get anything done. Do you live in Kentucky? I was there a long time ago I live in Jacksonville, Fl, it's to big for my liking I would prefer a small town.
Beautiful as always. Question to anyone: I press my seams open does that matter? I'm kinda OCD and it just makes it easier for my piece of mind to have everything going the same.
That is an excellent question .. I don't press my seams .. but others do .. and I think that is great .. I am just not that patient .. LOL Thanks for watching! April
Hey sole sister Thanks for another great video ! Caught the booboo ,4 Th row 4 Th block I did this too but I just couldn’t leave it like that! All that work ,come on sole sister it’s worth ripping out the seam ...... It’s such a pretty quilt top 💜
You are good! It just isn't a quilt I made unless there is a boo boo - LOL. Sometimes I'm in a ripping mood - sometimes not so much. ;-) Thank you so much for watching my sole sister. :-) April
That button block turned the other way won't be noticed by a child 🚸. I think the quilt is adorable. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
Oh thank you!
Sometimes the struggle is real... LOL
but it still turned out pretty I think...
thanks for watching!
April
April - done is better than perfect. I didn’t see or look for the mistake. Some lucky child will be so happy! Thanks for sharing. I like your videos a lot!
So true! I couldn't agree more! ... LOL
Thanks for watching!
April
Mistake or not it looks great! And you cannot tell unless you look for it!
Thank you so much!
April
Nothing better than an orange and white kitty. 🐈
He is my first orange and white kitty and he is the most mischievous cat I've ever had. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
Leaving "mistakes" lets the receiver know it was truly handmade. 💜👍
Absolutely!!
April
Am watching this 2 years late but I saw the mistake. Have to admit I almost missed it. Still love how this quit turned out and think I will try it when I finish the quilt I'm working on now. Thanks for making the 3 yard quilts....you are an inspiration!
Glad you enjoyed it!
April I watch you every day and love everything you do !
Awwww thank you so much!!!
You are awesome!
❤️April
Its not a boo-boo. Its creative. Thanks for great video
Aww. Thank you. And you are welcome. :-)
April
Thank you again for another video
Thank you for watching another one of my videos. I appreciate that. 😀
April
April, if you didn’t say see if you can find it I would not have noticed. I really enjoy watching you. Thanks for being a natural.
Thanks Lucy!
I appreciate your kindness!
April
I love the 3 yard quilts...makes it fun to shop hop and use up the pretty fabric that follows me home.
I agree !!!
I enjoy seeing videos of Donna’s quilts.
Thank you. I enjoy making her quilts. :-). Thank you for watching.
April
Caught the boo-boo. But only, as others mentioned, because you mentioned it. Its mot a biggie. Adds character.
I love these books & I have all of thrm?
Love, your videos & even more when your helper photo bomber jumps in! What a sweetie ❤
I love these books too. Thank you for watching and commenting. :-)
April
Found it, love it. This is my next quilt.
So glad to hear you like it. :-)
April
I like watching you because you’re real and aren’t afraid to embrace your deviations. Doesn’t that sound better than mistakes? Thank you for that!
awww... thank you so much!!!
April
I am pretty sure I saw this video when it first was released a year ago because it already had been given the “thumbs up”, but I did not make a comment. I too am a fan of Donna and have several of her patterns and books. Her patterns are super fun and make the best use of the entire 3 yards of fabric which I appreciate. No waste! I love that you made a mistake in this one and didn’t rip it out to redo it. It makes the quilt a “designer” quilt because it is unique. Go April! We lived in the Lexington KY area for several years back in the 70s while my husband was getting his master’s degree. We visited friends in the Louisville area often. We found KY a wonderland of places to visit and explore. One of our favorite restaurants was the Colonel’s Lady in Shelbyvile near Louisville. It was a favorite place for those very special occasions. Definitely not like the Colonel’s KFC. We also became a fan of the Kentucky Hot Brown! We have fond memories of our time in KY and have visited there often since. I would guess the quilt shops are amazing and in abundance in that area. Thanks for sharing yourself in your videos. They always brighten my day and I do watch them multiple times when they come up on my feed. Keep them coming!
Kentucky is AWESOME for sure!
Thank you so much for your comments and for watching!
April .
now I want a hot brown... LOL
@@aprilscraftroom i know exactly what you mean! We get hungry for them so often but it’s too far for us to go get one since we live in Kansas now! 😔
That pink border makes that quilt. Good job!
Thank you 😊 April
I wouldn't say even if I had spotted it, it's rude! Thanks for the videos that show you making mistakes, some of them out there are so darn perfect I would not dare attempt the project. I do cross stitch and you couldn't find one finished piece of mine where I haven't "amended the pattern"! You cheer me up and make my day better, I'm glad I found you on RUclips.
You made my day! ... Thank you so much for your kind words.
April
Hey April! I love you and your kitty!
Thank you so much!
April
Please, please, please do more 3 yard quilt videos. I love your videos. You are so helpful. I have all the 3 Yard Quilt books and frankly, I have trouble with some of the patterns. My strip sets NEVER come out the right width. I am a really careful cutter, but I am obviously doing something wrong. I really like the way you talk as you work. I enjoy your thought process.

April
Perhaps it is your 1/4" seam. There are videos out there that help you check how accurate it is.
That is a possibility. I will have to hold my fabric up after I cut it and see how crooked it is. A friend of mine says it is because I am left handed. LOL
I know how you feel. I started on a 3yd quilt, got frustrated and now it is a UFO😁
..that's not a 'mistake', that's the cheeky little Block that is as individual and diverse as the wonderful child you give this beautiful quilt to...OR the thing that gets fixated on FOR EVER!!😆
Well said!
April
I like those colors they go good together perfect for a child's quilt
Thank you. 😀
April
Like me easy to find if looking, a child will love it I love watching because your real too me😅🤩
Yeah - it's like once you find it - you can't help but see it everytime. LOL. I am actually going to give it to my granddaughter due in August. Thank you for watching. :-)
April
I found your character block. That is not a boo boo. Love this pattern. Thank you for the tutorial.
I like that - character block. Thank you for watching and commenting. 😀

So far we have been without incident, but I know one day it's gonna happen. LOL. And I pretty much stay confused. Ha ha. Thank you for watching.
April
It is looking very pretty with that fabric you have chosen
Thank you. 😊

"Sew" off I go now for a piece of chocolate.

Thank you 😀

April, You made a beautiful Amish quilt. They are never perfect because only God does perfect. I make a lot of Amish quilts too.
I agree with the decision on using that other fabric for the binding. I love the quilt.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
Thank you for your video of Three yard quilts. I’ve started one of Donna’s patterns. Glad to see I’m not the only person that gets pieced blocks turned the wrong way. You turned the button pieced block facing the wrong direction. Its the last block in the next to last row. I’m also glad we can leave them as a testimony of how good we are.
You found it! This quilt is for my Granddaughter who is expected on August 5th. Thank you for watching.
April
April, your videos are inspiring! I found the block on the left side that was twisted around. Most people won't notice it. I think it's cute.
Thank you. :-). I left it - it makes the quilt more unique. LOL
April
Its a very cute and unique quilt with a touch of April!!!!
Thank you. :-)

@@aprilscraftroom and I am going to edit the above. I evidently can’t type either. It was supposed to say “you and I” and not “you Arabs”. Autocorrect is not my friend at times and I wouldn’t want to cause any hard feelings with anyone. I didn’t notice it when I first posted the comment. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Now I’m going to have to seriously break into the chocolate!!😂😂
Really cute quilt. The little booboo makes it uniquely yours❣️
I do like unique. ;-). Thank you for watching.
April
Yes ...
but ... I believe creativity is a gift
Leave it ... Love it 💐
Oh don't worry - I don't rip out stitches unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. ;-). It makes it unique. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
This is so cute. It looks easy enough that even I can do it! I have a great great nephew I'll be seeing in a couple of months!
Row 4.
Hi Linda
Thank you for the kind words ... I know you can do this! ...
I hope you make your GREAT NEPHEW something AWESOME!
April
You are so much fun and always brighten my day.
Your quilts are easy to put together & always look great!
I love your photo bomber!
Thank you. 😀
April
I’m a fan of Donna’s, too! I’ve just made one of hers out of flannel with a Minky back for my granddaughter and I hear it’s a big hit! You know what Jenny Doan says about quilts, “Better done than perfect!” I agree! No one has ever turned down the gift of a quilt because there was a mistake in it. Keep up the good work!
Girlfriend I am going to have to try that combination of fabrics on one of my next 3 yard quilts. Talk about snuggly. Thank you for watching.
April
Thank you April. Love your videos...you make me feel like I can do this being a new quilter. did find your boo-boo, but took me a few minutes...and it makes it unique. Love all you do. Keep up the fun videos....love your sense of humor and the fact your cat crashes your videos. If I still had mine I am sure I would be battling with them. My dog is getting too old to do the stairs, so I get left alone for quilting.....not always for handstitching downstairs...ha. ha.
Thank you for the sweet compliments and you can do anything you put your mind to. Thank you for watching.
April
Love this quilt. An easy pattern, but the fabric is so stinking cute it makes it adorable. Really love all the fabric, and the binding fabric is outstanding. Thanks for the inspiration. Right now I’m making some baby quilts in flannel. Any chance of you doing a tutorial with flannel? Again, thanks for all the tutorials. Really like watching.
Thank you so much!
I love flannel ... I will put it on my TO DO list!
Thanks for the suggestion!
April
April love 💕 your cat. My cat likes to help also. Great video.
Awww - thank you. I will let Oliver know - he is such a ham. Thank you for watching.
April
Love your video! I have started to use Donna patterns, so far got 6 quilts. Glad to see someone else uses the pictures, more easily the the direction. After two quilts it became much easier than the first one. Have fun and want you to know I sooo enjoy you vids.
I am definitely a picture person, too. And I also agree after the first couple you get into the rhythm of her directions. Thank you for watching and I am so glad you enjoy my videos. :-)
April
New to your show. Love Donna Robertson’s show. But with your demo I learned techniques. The cat was fun seems they have to get in the middle of what one is doing. My mother quilted from the age of 11 to 94. She would have come unglued if an animal were on the quilt. However I loved it. Keep up your shows so others can learn the simple reasons for the techniques to improving the out come of products.
Thank you. My Mom has sewn since I can remember and started quilting before I became interested. Now we get to do it together. My Grandmother however would have died if a cat had gotten on her crocheting. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
Love Oliver, he looks like my Snickers.
One of the button blocks is going the wrong way🤗. I really enjoy your videos! Thanks!!
LOL ... You got it ... !
Thanks for watching!
April
BTW...I'm a lover of all things April!
You are too sweet! Thank you for such a kind comment. :-)
April
Finished is better than perfect but I don’t see the mistakes cause I’m not looking for imperfections! I looking for finished! Great job
I totally agree. I only look for imperfections in mine. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
Love your videos April! Looking forward to the next ones. I dont think anyone would have noticed your "oops" if you hadn't mentioned it. It looks like the block in the 4th row down, left side is sideways. Doesn't matter. Love the quilt & your fabric choices!
Thank you so much - my oops are my trademark - LOL. Thank you for watching. :-)
April
Thank you for showing us that quilters don’t make mistakes, just variations of the original.
Love Donna’s 3 yard quilts. Made a few of my own variations.
Debi Brooks.
Anytime you need that validation I won’t let you down. LOL. Thanks for watching.
April
One of the button blocks is slanted the wrong way. I love the fabric choices....just darling.
Thank you. It just has little girl written all over it. Thank you for watching.
April
Oh my goodness! Love your fabrics and cat! I have one, Oliver, who could be related!!
Is he mischievous? Does he steal your stuff and play with it? If so I think they are related. LOL.
April
Pink squares wrong direction but who cares. I love it. Bought the book and fabric from Donna but haven’t started yet. I’m glad you did this one because that piecing would have confused me too. ❤️❤️❤️
You are going to have fun. Glad I can help. Thank you for watching.
April
Yes I caught the booboo but only because your comment made me aware that there was one to look for. I think it's cute as is and I'd leave it there and call it April's signature block ( tell folks you do to one block "on purpose" cause it's "your way of making your quilts uniquely yours")! I love it! We Kentucky girls gotta have each other's back (I'm just up the road from you in Lawrenceburg, KY)
Awesome - another Kentucky girl. And I think that is an excellent idea. Thank you for watching. :-)
April
I'm originally from Vanceburg, KY
Spent some great times on Lake Barkley as a kid!
It is a beautiful lake. Thank you for watching.
April
I love your cat! How they like to inspect your fabric, lol. I too find myself buying the Donna Robertson books. That pink border really sets off your quilt, lovely job!
Thank you. Furry critters are just part of my family. Thank you for watching.
April
Hello April, I enjoyed your video including your "assistant ," gorgeous cat btw. I didn't see your boo boo and that's ok. Beautiful fabrics.
Thank you. That is the help you get when you don’t pay. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
OMG. I love watching your videos. You mentioned Lake Barkley in KY. I'm over by Dale Hollow Lake KY.
Dale Hollow is a beautiful lake. We have been there several times and rented a cabin. That part of Kentucky is so pretty. And there are some great quilt shops around that area. :-)
April
Lol .. row 4 .. you rock !
You found it! :-). Thank you for watching and commenting.
April
Love your videos, you make me smile and you have inspired me to buy the books and use the patterns. $25 Australian plus $25 postage for us though - a total of approx US$65 😱
Yay! You are going to love these patterns. :-). And thank you for watching and the kind words.
April
Adorable…we are all human…we make mistakes❣️
Yes we are and yes we do. :-). Thank you for watching.
April
I’m so happy to see different fabric choices in the 3 yard quilts - want to make some now. Thanks 💕😊🌹
They really are fun to make and the quilts are adorable. Thank you for watching.
April
That is a brand new book. I can’t wait to get it..
I didn’t realize it was new. I got lucky. :-). Thank you for watching.
April
Love your videos. Your oops is the center “button” block on the right hand side. This quilt is sooo cute 🥰
Yes it is! Thank you for watching.
April
Among Friends has a great selection of fabrics and books.🧵🪡
They really do! Thank you for watching.
April
I found the mistake but I don’t think I would have if you have s said it was there. Thanks for this tutorial. I have that book and couldn’t figure out the small squares. Love your videos!😅
Thank you!!!!
And thank you for watching
Love it!
Thank you. :-)
I found your mistake, but if you would not have said something, I wouldn't have noticed it. Great job on all of your tutorials.
Isn't funny once you find it you can't help but see it! Thank you for watching and commenting. ;-)
April
Hi April I love your videos and I think your sense of humor is great I love your cats and dogs I have a lot of cats so when I sew I have to keep them out otherwise I would never get anything done. Do you live in Kentucky? I was there a long time ago I live in Jacksonville, Fl, it's to big for my liking I would prefer a small town.
I do live in KY ... I live in a small town
Jacksonville is a BEAUTIFUL place too ...
thank you for watching!
April
I do to I like the way you do the whole thing
Thank you! 🤗
April
Beautiful as always. Question to anyone: I press my seams open does that matter? I'm kinda OCD and it just makes it easier for my piece of mind to have everything going the same.
That is an excellent question .. I don't press my seams .. but others do .. and I think that is great .. I am just not that patient .. LOL
Thanks for watching!
April
When I watch Oliver I want a cat sooooo bad! But I’m allergic!
Oliver was my brothers cat ... he had to find him a home ... and I was the lucky one that got him .... I LOVE THAT CAT!!!
Hey sole sister
Thanks for another great video !
Caught the booboo ,4 Th row 4 Th block
I did this too but I just couldn’t leave it like that!
All that work ,come on sole sister it’s worth ripping out the seam ......
It’s such a pretty quilt top 💜
You are good! It just isn't a quilt I made unless there is a boo boo - LOL. Sometimes I'm in a ripping mood - sometimes not so much. ;-) Thank you so much for watching my sole sister. :-)
April
I to saw it, I wouldn't change it. Kids don't care
