    So fun to have a hubby show up and not be shy. Love this interaction cuz she’s not irritated with him. A fabric stash is not an addiction that causes harm 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

    Your Tilda girls are so cute! I love that you do your own style on a pattern. You are not alone we all have a fabric addiction. Lol!

You are such a cutie with a wonderful guy.. i've been with mine for over 55 years... (plus the 5 years of "dating" from age HS to age 21:)) Hugs, GB

      @ccreel64 Год назад +1

      @@pattispencer8503 It would! I think I’ll add the first book in the series to the wall hanging. Perhaps in a book pocket pieced to look like one of her menagerie of critters instead of the chicken. Great idea!

    My sister and I are reading the Anne of Green Gables series together and I was looking for a project we could do. I think this would be great as that red headed girl not only looks like Pippi Longstocking; but could also represent Anne as well. Thanks for posting this I look forward to seeing more of the quilt get pieced!

    My husband likes the unit you have your cutting mat set into he suggested that if you could slide it and lock it down you would lengthen the life of the table top cutting mat. I thought you might like to hear his suggestion hope it’s helpful too. We are in out 80s and love to follow quilting and woodworking tutorials

    • @CountryFarmhouseQuilting

    Thanx so much for your detailed tutorials. It makes it doable for my brain. :) Just one thing. If you cut the fabrics for the dress a bit bigger, you can sew on either sides of the drawn line and make two dresses at the same time. You won't lose as much fabric as written in the pattern.

    Thank u sooooo much 4 ur inspiration in making a Tilda Girl look so easy, I also have issues in how 2 do, with arthritis in my hands and low power in my arms, but hey, put that aside and I can do most things in crafts. Cutting is a bug bear, so yes I have fallen in love with ur cutting board, sooooo perfect, with a rotary cutter also, of which I struggle with, but not now, I also have a dumb bell that will serve a better purpose yayyyyy.
    Now 2 put some yummy fabrics 2gether 4 my Tilda quilt, thank u so very much, as nothing wrong with our brains, such a great feeling that we can use that with challenges 2 on quilting. U r on my 2 watch list now. Looking 4ward 2 ur next inspiration and must get the cutting board sorted 2 make easier again.
    Have fun, as I c u do, like me, the challenge is there, just do it.
    ❤❤❤❤❤
