    When you put a notice on your blog, "No Video Today", include a link to your You Tube channel. Then people who need a "Pat Sloan fix" can choose an older video that they may be interested in. Yes, I know the link is on your blog, but some people are less computer savvy and need a little help. Great tips on using the pens, I had to learn the hard way. I love the micron pigma pens.

    Good for you to take a break when you're not feeling well, we all need a break sometimes. I love what you decided for the Unicorn panel and your fabric choice for Norm is perfect. I broke my left wrist a few years ago and thinking I should be doing exercises too. My mom showed me how to do the same kind of label. I always write on it before attaching to the binding, especially if it's a longer message. That way if I make a mistake, I can simply cut out another piece of fabric. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us

  • @teresamarler8444
    @teresamarler8444 2 года назад

    I teach a label class and have tested many pens. I really like the Pigma pens because they are acid free and archival quality. Sharpies are not. The Pigma pens will fade if washed many times. They work great for wall hangings and show quilts that may never be washed and I can trust that they don't have chemicals that will be bad for the fabric. Thanks for sharing about pens. I enjoy your videos.

    The minute I saw the polkadot with green, that was it. I agree with what you said about colors like purple. The eye doesn't flow over the quilt. Like a red light!
    Also, I think the binding on the Ukraine quilt is perfect- o! Love all you do Pat. Take the day or whatever you need...we treasure you 🤗😁

    I agree that if you are not feeling well, take a day or two off! It will give your body a rest to heal and repair. I suffer migraines I am the same way that not every day can I do the things I want to or have to. The blessing is that my husband is now retired and if I can’t do something he sometimes can help me out.

Glad your older videos are available. Seeing your projects and fabrics "here and there" makes me feel like my sewing room is pretty typical.

    PAT….I have to be your enabler today…You should try the PENTEL GEL ROLLER FOR FABRIC…I have been using these for years and what I love about them is the tip is way thicker than the Pigma pens which makes it sooooo much easier to write on fabric and you don’t need to use freezer paper or even heat set it. I have posted pics of it on FB group when someone asks what to use to make labels.

    • @jenniewren9351
      @jenniewren9351 2 года назад

      This is the one Lynne from Cotton Art Studio recommends, I just couldn’t remember the name of it, to put in the comments myself. I think here in England, especially where I live I’d have to get it from Amazon.

It is a beautiful, fun quilt that I will be making. Thanks for all you do.💕

    Hi Pat! I really like the black you picked for the little border for Norm! And of course love the dots 😍I took my quilt to our little get together right out of town yesterday to show it off & of course got lots of Ooooh Aaaaahs!! Also one of the ladies brought some give away magazines/books. I immediately grabbed one that was "Fast-Forward Quilts" because of the red & white dots on the quilt on the cover. Went to sit down & turned the pages & there you were!! I didn't even notice your name on the cover 🤣 I squealed "It's Pat Sloan!! And this quilt is from her!!" I'm glad to have yet another book by you 💗

    Pat, a vacation doesn’t have to be a week or two weeks. A vacation (vacay) can be for three days. If you haven’t had a vacation since 2018, you are definitely due for a ‘vacay’. Please try to schedule your much deserved ‘vacay’ ASAP. We so appreciate your consistent videos but it’s time for some time off, don’t you think. From a loyal follower.😊

    @ctfddftba 2 года назад

    One of the things I’ve done to help prevent creative/sewing stalling is that I’ve made a list of blocks I want to make and techniques that I want to try. I’ve given myself permission to make just one block/small project and that it’s okay to not like it. That way I’m not starting huge projects that I end up disliking and put off for ages. If I’m not feeling like sewing one of my wip then I look at the list to see if anything feels more interesting.

    Diverticulitis is an inflammatory bowel disease. Usually in the lower part of the large bowel. Little “pockets” develop in the wall of the bowel and faeces can get trapped in these pockets which can ,over time, cause infection. So common as we get older. Easily manages so no panicking

I've been rattling around youtube for a decade or more & only recently found out that viewers can search in the creators page - maybe a tutorial like you did on your page - for those who want content when you are not providing it. (I'm still gradually "catching up" so I will find a fabric line, book, or sewalong and search that & watch the content that youtube generates on that specific subject.)

      for accuracy, always measure your top, cut the border to fit. You may find your top is not the same size on both sides, so fix it before adding borders
