Beautiful bird song quilt. Good plan.
Another great video!! Thanks Sheri!!!
Sheri, I am an early riser, up at 6 am every day. I love watching you every Monday as I begin the week. You have such a positive outlook and always leave me with a smile. Thank you so much.
I love having you! Thanks so much ❤️
Enjoyed the chat. I was a little shocked when you showed the 10" square layout - and you get 2 pieces (only) out of it!?! Your fat quarters will be beautiful. Thanks Sheri.
Ikr?!
Good morning from Washington state. It’s 10 am, I’ve been to the gym and watching this video while having my morning coffee! Got some finish photos to send for Friday’s video!
Yay!
I think the tranquility pattern would be beautiful with those fabrics. I would use it because of being such a perfect pairing. I would do the blocks the same color in the block.
I would make each block the same, but I would leave out the light ones because you can’t hardly see him anyway, love your videos. See you on the next one.
I love the white from Donna Jordan. It’s from Japan. It’s so nice. She runs sales every now and then.
I’ve not used that before. I’ll check it out
Some of us are thrilled when we get to see our quilts on your channel’s Finish it Fridays feature! So being recognized in a festival would be beyond exciting!,,
Wouldn’t it though?
Good morning from Oklahoma!
Hello there!
I think the fat qtr. Bundle is a great choice for layer cake lily and mix up blocks.
lol, I’m usually up between 4 am to 5 am, best time of the day! And yes, realize I’m in the minority. Hubby is proof of that. My feet hit the floor running. So I’m always excited to see your videos show up early as almost always sewing by then.
Very appreciative while watching the segment of you showing and talking about the bolts of background fabrics. Really helpful. All times that you add manufacturers is appreciated.
Hugs from Maine.
Hi Sheri
I had to chuckle this morning watching your video. It felt like I was listening to myself! Your videos are like sharing some time with a friend! I think I like Quilt Chat the best. 😉
Oh thank you! I guess! 😅
I think you might be able to do some blocks all the same and some with different colours. I think that might be fun. Such a pretty group of fabrics!
I have a box against the wall that my foot pedal rest against. No more chasing it
I took two promo mouse pads and glued the tops together, therefore the grip sides out. Has worked great!! No cost at all. Try it😊
Great tip!
Wow! Great donation🎉 Exciting 🎉❤
Yes it was!
I think that quilt will be beautiful made from the fat quarter Tranquility bundle. Either the mixed or all four the same, I think it will be great.
Thank you Sheri for not doing Temu videos. I like idea of each block of one color which shows off your beautiful fabs.
I think that is a great idea to use the Tranquility, such a beautiful line. You would still have enough left for at least a Fat 8th quilt. Are those bolts more than 15 yards or all bolts 15 yards? I have only bought a bolt of white from FQS. Oh my goodness the Apple Quilt changed the whole look of the area! So bright and festive. Beautiful.
They are 10 yds
I am doing the sew along with you it’s a lot of fun. I also follow pin cut sew and happy she won. Hope you have a great week. Love your videos!!
Wonderful!
I love the bird wall hanging. I'm on board with all bird fabric, lol.
Me too!
Mix the colors. You have enough material that the colors will compliment each other.❤
I had the same foot pedal issue on and finally! I stumbled on using a small rubber backed rug I had and then put a strip of the hook side of Velcro on the underside of the pedal that sticks to the rug beautifully. I was thrilled. I thought I would go crazy chasing that pedal 🤦♀️.
I enjoyed your video very much. Don’t expect so much from yourself. You do a LOT! I am learning to use my new sewing machine and it’s time consuming. I can’t imagine doing a RUclips channel, learning long arming and EQ8 all at once plus regular life! I think we all want to do more than what is possible. Me for sure!☺️
Thank you for the kind words ❤️ You’re right! We just want to do ALL the things. Your pedal sliding solution sounds great 👍🏻
So many people do the unboxings so we see them over and over.
I’m an early riser. I got the pattern for the layer cake lily. I know you will be so happy when you finish the Happy Days quilt and you are almost there! The Tilda Berry Wreath will be a beautiful quilt. You can do it!
Thank you for the encouragement!
Good morning. Thank you for the chat. I enjoy them. I understand about the purchasing classes that you can view later. Those seem to get away from me as well. They are the 'some day" projects. As for the pedal, I put a block of wood down with a piece of rug no-slip padding. The wood gives it no place else to go but to stay! lol
I hope you get to that long arm. I hope you do. Have a wonderful day.
Great tip!
Layer Cake Lily is a great "free youtube pattern" from the FQS. Make sets and if don't like, mix up and see that layout. Scraps would be pretty, fall colors, monotones, etc. Congrats on the sale of your Humane Society Quilt! I think you got a good price esp. with today's economy, but even better, it was for a great cause!
Thank you!
thx
I am a night owl, so I am definitely not up early! Even as a child, never a morning person.
I always have been too!
6:30 California time😊 Up since 5:30.
First time ever to see your RUclips site. I’ve been watching various quilters since 2020 so puzzled why you never popped up. Eager to add to my collection🎉
Welcome! Glad to have you!
I’m thinking to make Layer Cake Lilly. I have Tranquility fabrics so I’m going to join you in that fabric line. I will make the blocks out of different pieces. I was stumped on what to use fabric wise but, now I’m ready! Enjoy your videos so much!
Sounds great!
I love a good bolt sale! ❤ I agree with you on vintage quilts and the backings. 🤗 You might want to try a Martelli foot pedal pad. They’re a bit pricey but well worth it not to chase your pedal around under your table.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve not seen theirs, I’ll look it up
Looks good where you put it not too high
I think each flower would look better all same color. And if you add a contrasting "corner stone: in middle of the flower (within the sashing) it will add more flower definition 😊
Great idea!
You really made me laugh with your foot pedal issues I hear you GF and I have added another small issue to the problem a teacup chihuahua puppy so not only do I lose my pedal when I go to drag it back there’s a little boy right under my foot 😉hopefully I don’t squash him 🐶🤦🏼♀️he’s such a good quilting buddy loves eating all the scraps chewing on containers any mischief he can find 😂😂
Awww…he must be tiny!
Set a party date for Happy Dsys🎉 Maybe with fun giveaway? Or something 😊
Nice idea!
I just watched the fat quarter shop video of the Lily quilt and am considering making it. But I'm a beginner quilter who is doing a quilt along for the Flossie quilt from Southern Charm Quilts. Just Finished the quilt top and now I'm waiting for the next parts to hopefully finish my first quilt. I'm considering the heart one you're working on but also really like the Lily one. But I also don't care for the lighter colors. Am worried it's not for a beginner. I'm in love with your Bird themed quilt.
I would say the Lily is easier than the hearts. But both are beginner friendly.
Mix up the prints for the blocks or maybe use 2 of the same prints for each blocks, so you'll have 2 colors per blocks.
I’d make each block with 2 colors either complimentary or opposite colors . It’d be absolutely amazing if the entire quilt was done in one color but different shade of said color but since you’re using stash (beautiful stash that you have) I’d go with the above suggestion 😂. Have a great day ❤. You got this girl get er done ❤ for iLL be ur motivation since I still have no machine ugh
Thanks for the motivation! ❤️
Good morning from North Dakota. 5 a.m.
Hello there!
I used to buy layer cakes but quite a while ago I decided fat quarter bundles were better.
I know right?!
Yes, RUclips has made many changes. I no longer have a library. It’s called you, but it doesn’t show much of my history anymore and almost all of the channels that I’ve been subscribed to for years they’ve taken away the community tab. Very frustrating. I’m an early riser also and enjoy my quiet coffee time watching your videos
Yes, I miss not having my history of viewed videos too
I am right there with you, I find it not easily intuitive for me.
Have you been to Fairview KY? Country Lane Quilts have a lot of very good prices on older collections and bits and pieces. Carrolls Quilting in Greenville KY have pallets of Free Spirit fabric they are selling for $45 a bolt. Not the very latest collections but very nice. They sell it for $5 a yard of bolt is cut.
I haven’t! Those sound like great deals. Looks to be about 1 1/2 hours away.
You can do it 😊
Thank you!
The EQ8 rabbit-hole-time-sucker is a reality …. But so much fun! I have used EQ to design for several years and still learn something new with each adventure. My favorite suggestion to newbies … just turn it on and play! Once you cross over the intimidation threshold, EQ is a user friendly package.
I have played with it some, but I really need to do those classes
I put a handweight/dumb bell behind my foot. I think it’s a 5 or 8 lb one. Isn’t perfect but works well and cheap solution!
Great tip!
You’re so close to the ens of Happy Days, just the borders right? I can’t wait to see the finished top.
I have the borders all made, I just need to do the four corners which are applique blocks.
Good morning ☕
Oh my it's been a long time since I've seen a Big Gulp cup , haven't been to a 7-11 in probably 30 years or more when I took my sister.. I was carded and sis piped up and told cashier "and she has 7 kids too!!" I was soooo embarrassed 😅
Layer Cake Lilly I think would be pretty done each flower same fabric instead of variety like they did.
You show up here at 3am, I'm always awake by 1 -1:30 but force myself to stay in bed
until at least 2, sometimes like today I pushed 3am.😊
I ordered the "Putty" awhile back that will be my background for a lot of projects, I like how it makes certain things look vintage? I haven't done anything for fall decor yet, I have a really cute scarecrow panel to work on but I'm working on making patterns for 3 different size crockpot covers for my daughter.. been a challenge.
Have a wonderful week, see you Wednesday.😊
I guess 7/11 is now Speedway! You’re a night owl like me!
Hello
Make each quadarant from a different fabric.
I use shelf liner under my foot pedal. It is a soft, bumpy, rubbery material, sold at Walmart in a roll, Beige, Black, White. I put it under rugs to make non-slip and have it across the dash of my car to keep things like my sun glasses, grocery list or envelope from sliding off and onto the floor. I even use it for Shelf Liner in my cabinets.
I’ve used that too without success. I must have a heavy foot! 🤣
I put my pedal on a garden kneeling pad n it stays put
Hmmm 🤔
Lol… i am a get up slow kinda gal…not as much as i used to be..4 am was not unusual for me..these days since retiring…5:30-6am is my natural rising time! Am doing layer cake lily too, love your fabric! I dont allow myself more than 3 works in progress without knocking another out… i dont know if that helps you get things done but🤷🏻♀️. Im excited to hear how you like EQ,be sure and up date us all when you do…you can do it…do it💪🏽
My what restraint you possess! 😅
I have EQ8. I use just the basics. Don't need to know all the elements to get a lot of use from the program.
That’s probably how I’ll use it too
I have an issue with my foot pedal wandering and have tried several things ...gardener's knee pad is an idea..cement floor
In Canada....our fabric is $$$$$$
Great tip!
I would never go on Temu as they are a Chinese company and easy for them to access your personal data. I love Green Fairy Quilts and Fort Worth Fabric Studio. You have to be patient with delivery but worth the savings as no sales tax. FWFS has free shipping. GFQ also has free shipping for purchases over $75 which is easy to reach. Both of their sale prices are excellent and a great savings.
Agree!
Would a PC of those carpet samples put down then that on top. I know it's a real pain. Yes let us know if it works.
I have the same foot pad and the same problem. Let us know what works.
I use a 8 pound arm weight placed in front of my foot pedal so it doesn’t move forward.
Great tip!
Mix up colors. It will pop.
Good Morning Sheri I also have a Quilt draped over my long arm 🤷♀️
I am not sure about the Batting or backing No decision made yet
Love your kitty on your left side. What is the name of that pattern?

Carpet tape can ruin your flooring. Is it worth it to keep your foot pedal from slipping?
This is a shed and we put cabin grade seconds wood flooring down. Not ideal to stick something to it, but it would not be the end of the world if I couldn’t clean it back off.
I would do each block the same.
4 pieces the same
Good morning :) I kind of feel like Temu is a big ole dumpster fire lol - everyone likes to stand around and squawk about it and it gathers a crowd .... but I'm not sure that's a positive or great way to build on the great interactive audience you have going on here :) Stay strong and keep up the awesome content.
You’re right!
carpet tape on my wood floors NO
Be careful that tape is not forgiving
It’s just the shed, we used leftover pieces of wood from another project, so if it gets a little damaged, so be it.
Sherri I enjoy your Monday morning quilt chats but the ad breaks are ridiculous. There were seven this morning. Does youtube really need to interrupt that many times. I watch a fair amount of content creators channels and your channel seems to have at least twice as many ads.
Oh I’m so sorry! I have zero control over that. Did you know that you can sign up for ad free RUclips for a small monthly fee? That’s what I did and I never have to see another ad ever! Worth every penny (13.99) and I do get credit from those who watch under that.
New subbie when you said i dont have to watch it at 6am! 😅 ty I do enjoy knowing you have a consistent schedule of M, W,&F then I can plan to watch. 🩷
Welcome!! Yes, I think it’s important to have a consistent schedule. I only have the occasional change of schedule, like most people would, for vacations and emergencies. Glad to have you here! ❤️
