I too was a child in Germany and taught myself to cross stitch and embroidery. This brought back so many memories and happy tears to my eyes. My father was stationed in Peden Barracks which was near Wertheim am Main which was near Wuerzburg south of Frankfurt/Weisbaden. We lived in housing and on the economy. I don't think I have any treasures like you have. Only memories. But it was fun remembering going to the store down the hill and shopping and coming home and making things. My mother did not do hand work. She sewed by machine. As you know tv was limited and there was not a lot to do if you were between 9 and 12 years old. The time period was 1960 to 1962. As the Berlin wall was going up. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. It was fun.
I also have made things, but with my aunt and cousins. We made Christmas trees with a pie pan, plaster of Paris and silver holie foily stuff that you would around a stick in the plaster and decorated. We also baked cookies and sent off to my cousins husbands in Vietnam.
I love how one of the flowers in the print makes it look like Ellie has an eye! That flannel looks divine! Flannel on the front and minky/cuddle on the back.....super cuddly!! The GingerSnaps are sooooo cute!!
Loved the stroll down memory lane. I remember embroidery knits, beading, and my mother and grandmother doing latch hooking in 60s and early 70s with kitsch and old wool clothing. I did the Reader's Digest crafts but made Angel's and trees. Happy memories. Happy Holiday to all.
I only have three jelly roll blocks left to make. Can’t wait to start arranging them on the design wall. I remember doing latch hook. It made my fingers hurt from pulling the yarn tight because I would sit and work on the canvas for hours.
The Gingersnap Kids are sew sew cute. I am going to use the planning sheet in shorter timeframes right now - reviewing my year end, end of the year projects, and then to plan my "to do" for January. You and I did many of the same crafts - they were such fun. I love the Sampler treasure. Thank you for sharing these treasures.
Reader's digest Christmas 🎄!!! I'm part of that club too! My mom taught me how to embroider, see and crochet. She tried to teach me to knit, but I think by that time I was in high school and had my mind on boys. Making things with your hands is sooo good for the soul!
❤️ the gingers! Such wonderful treasures and keepsakes you have - thanks for sharing. I'm having my first experience of using cuddle on the back of a quilt. Unfortunately I put it on the back of a queen size quilt panel that is part of an online class of ruler work. WOW! So heavy to do FMQ and wrangle it around on my domestic machine to use the rulers! Won't do that again but it will be wonderful once I get it completed. It will just take a lot longer than I planned for. Cuddle is on the back of another queen quilt - I won't be using rulers on that one! So the latter, and a jelly roll quilt may not be done with my FMQ by the end of December. 😅😂
In the early 80's I taught all types of needlework and sold kits through a "party plan". I enjoyed the teaching more than the selling. LOL Not the best business model. I still have some of the samples I made and a couple kits. I still love needlework, but quilting has become much more important to me.
Yeah I went through my whole projects to finish. I found 26 projects to finish and only three that need binding and so far six to quilt. I also separated a lot of stuff to start and only ended up with 36 projects that I really want to finish next year. All projects are in my planning book and scheduled out on my 12 month calendar. Then I have a cross stitch journal that only has six projects to finish. I only have two sew along projects that start in March and are done monthly so I need to add those to my project book and schedule on my calendar.
Oh for pete's sake. I just finished sending my comment and then found you talking about loose weave of flannels!! If I'd only waited a few minutes. Oh well, skip over it if you want. LOLOL
I took inventory of the baby quilt tops that needed to be finished a few years ago. There were 11. Made a goal to quilt and finish these doing at least 2 a month. Then I had to find a place to donate them. They are all done in about 3 months.
I love the basket and the stitcher. I love the dates and the kits. The Gingerkids are fantastic. Isabel did a fantastic job. That is so cool. And the pages to get organized are working for me. I have plans and projects written down. I am.on a mission..I am going to get organized. And clean up and find all my projects done. And Christmas presents early for next year.
When you were tallking about the tree, I remember when I was first married you took the big thick phone books and folded the bottom in and sprayed it and it was a xmas tree.
My mother and grandmother taught my sister and I how to cross stitch when we were very young....on gingham. Then our work was made into an apron. I still have my first apron....no I do not make spaghetti sauce in it. Merry Christmas Pat....thanks for the stories.
Gingersnaps mug rug is so so cute. Just love it. I need to start a sewing list for Christmas 2021 and put this on it for granddaughters. I am proud of myself this year as I finished 3 full size quilts as Christmas gifts. One was the jelly snowflake. Put the binding on last one Saturday. That’s cutting it close. Thanks Pat for all your patterns, ideas and encouragement. Look forward to your daily videos.
I've worked with flannel before and it always stretches. I really think if I'd paid more for it, the fabric wouldn't have shrunk. I took a good look at the stuff I have and it seems to be somewhat loosely woven. That's not good, is it? LOLOL I think I'll go shopping when my local fabric store opens again and see what I can find for "better" flannel. Maybe I'll have better luck. Thank you for everything you do, Pat. I don't think I've met a person with as much energy as you have. Always smiling with a few giggles thrown in. Some days this year we've all needed that and you provided. Merry Christmas to you and Greg. ALL the best for 2021!! Hugs from Canada!!
I would love to use minty on the back. But in Louisiana, I don’t know if I would get to use it very much. Also I use small tag labels that I sew into the binding on the back of my quilts. I prefer these to sewing on a large written label.
Just wondering, the quilting on the front looks different than the quilting on the back. The minky side has rows of round circles. I know I have quilted with minky before and found it difficult. Was a special technique used here?
Excited I got here early! Did everyone get to see the Christmas star? I’ve been making table runners and some other small items. I’m seem to want you delay making binding for the quilts I recently got back from my longarmer.
Oi.... samplers in cross stitch have a huge following- very historical and geographical pieces- it’s a whole genre of cross stitch of its own in my opinion

elephants, the good luck of enough fabric and fitting into the block ... lol
I love the Gingersnap Kids. My great-grandmother was from Weisbaden. I've made those RD Xmas trees too. Fun with the kids.
The ginger snap kids are adorable. My jelly roll top is ready to get quilted. Thank you for showing your treasures. So much fun.
I’ve also been a maker since I was little. Making helps me stay grounded. So many treasures!
I have fleece on the back of two of my lap quilts; Wonderfully soft and warm! Merry Christmas from Lima Ohio!
The Gingersnap Kids are adorable!
I was thrilled to see the landing on the moon stitches, I made the kit back in the 60’sand have it somewhere! Love the memories you shared!
Cute little kids.
I love cross stitch samplers & have made several.
Very cute
I love how one of the flowers in the print makes it look like Ellie has an eye! That flannel looks divine! Flannel on the front and minky/cuddle on the back.....super cuddly!! The GingerSnaps are sooooo cute!!

Button club so adorable
I only have three jelly roll blocks left to make. Can’t wait to start arranging them on the design wall. I remember doing latch hook. It made my fingers hurt from pulling the yarn tight because I would sit and work on the canvas for hours.
That basket was like your own time capsule! Loved the show and tell!

Awesome antique from your great great aunt.

Mystery object in your basket is a stitch holder used in knitting, doing fronts & necks usually
Very cute!!

Just received my stripe background fabric for my jelly roll quilt using Morrison Park.

I finished my top . Have to get it quilted now. Will post once it is finished.
My mother and grandmother taught my sister and I how to cross stitch when we were very young....on gingham. Then our work was made into an apron. I still have my first apron....no I do not make spaghetti sauce in it. Merry Christmas Pat....thanks for the stories.
Love the kids
Great session today. You should reproduce the cross-stitch sampler! It would look great as a red and white sampler.
It’s beautiful. Great idea with the minky back
Gingersnaps mug rug is so so cute. Just love it. I need to start a sewing list for Christmas 2021 and put this on it for granddaughters.

I think a good name for your elephant should be Rosie.

That would look great with the stripe as the inner border and your dark blue floral as the outer border. I love that dark floral.
We did those Christmas trees in Girl Scouts in the late 60’s!! Love all your treasures!!!
I would love to use minty on the back. But in Louisiana, I don’t know if I would get to use it very much. Also I use small tag labels that I sew into the binding on the back of my quilts. I prefer these to sewing on a large written label.
Now I have to get the jelly bar roll and the book 😍
That long thing you just took out and said you thought it was for crochet. It is a stitch holder, which is used in knitting and crocheting.
Love this video, Pat! I love the elephant pattern. Off to “add to cart!”
I love doing latch hook I've made rugs and wall hangings and I just made a unicorn pillow for my gran daughter
I still love kits. I have that same latch hook!
Merry Christmas to all of our quilters!
How cute are those mug rugs with gingerbread 😍
I LOVED seeing your memory pieces. The sampler is amazing!
Ellie looks like she has an eye and lashes the way the flower is placed on her head
I have a question about the yoga. Is it Power Yoga with Adrienne Reed or yoga with a different Adrienne? Thanks.
Those Gingersnap guys/girls are soooo cute!!!
Merry Christmas everyone. Finished the label on my 4th quilt for Christmas gifts, and all wrapped.
Merry Christmas! I have a QUESTION: does the minky make the quilt stiffer than it would be otherwise?
Good evening from Southampton NJ
No way! I grew up in Tabernacle :)
Yes. Darker inner border and stripe outer border would look great
That sew a long was so much fun !
Glad I'm not the only early bird. Happy holidays to everyone.
I have two tops that need quilting. I am waiting for long arm to open up at my local quilt shop. I do my own long arm quilting.
Miss Pat, I am.subscribed!
Thank you so much for the cute Gingersnap Mug Rug! Merry Christmas 🎄
I'm subscribe to your daily videos, e-mails, and would not miss a one. Plus I look forward to the Mondays one a lot. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and Gregg.
Do you always use batting with minky?
Just wondering, the quilting on the front looks different than the quilting on the back. The minky side has rows of round circles. I know I have quilted with minky before and found it difficult. Was a special technique used here?

Not dark here yet
Saw it tonight. Wasn't as bright as I thought it would be
Hi, from Erie CO
Good evening from Tipp City Ohio
Good evening from Wisconsin. Cloudy here,unable to see Christmas star😥
Oi.... samplers in cross stitch have a huge following- very historical and geographical pieces- it’s a whole genre of cross stitch of its own in my opinion
I would say that’s a few projects
I made doll clothes out of Kleenex . My Mom finally said we can’t use all the Kleenex up.
I am working on a scrap quilt along with Debby Brown. What is everyone else doing?
The ginger kids are so cute unfortunately I cannot eat anything with ginger or nutmeg it doesn't like me
How about putting the label on the front.
Wow. Big list. Haha.
Sorry I said Gingerbread it should be Gingersnaps
♥️♥️♥️
210 lol 😜
Can not find the Gingerbread kids on the link given

@@PatSloan Pat, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't access the Gingersnaps pattern. It tells me there is an error.
Without your broken wrists that list would be so much shorter.
