I think eventually I will join you in this SAL. But for now our local quilt show happens at the end of October and you know how that is. lots of pressure for finishes. But it's all good. look what will get accomplished. Have fun with Stacey and the rest. Woolstock is on my bucketlist
Hi Anna, Deb Anderson and others. Yes I have purchased a plain for the background in a toffee/coffee colour very like the directional print colour. I intend to piece in the directional print in the quilt backing then it won't be wasted! Janet UK.
Well Anna this may be a challenge for many of us. They were out of the kits but I ordered by their fabric listing. I did get the 5" charm pack as well. Your instructions are printed different than mine. I am finding it a little frustrating with not knowing which fabric goes where, but luckily the picture of the completed quilt shows up pretty well. I actually am glad it will be three weeks before you get back to this. Haha! Life is cutting into my sewing time. Have a wonderful trip. I just got back from Ohio (I live in Texas). Safe travels.
Hi Anna! I am planning to join you for the SAL, but I did not order the kit because I wasn't as crazy about the background fabric being "striped" or directional as you call it. I didn't like how the stripes don't line up in the photo, so I wanted to get a more subtle pattern or a floral. Anywho, the pattern I have calls for a charm pack of the red Braveheart fabric, not a layer cake, so they must have corrected it. Anyway, Congrats on block 1 !!!! It looks great and you are off and running! I'll get caught up when I decide on a background fabric..... maybe the "other background" fabric................
I also did not buy the kit for the very reason on the striped background. So I bought it all individually -- have not gotten the background yet. Not sure what I will use for the background. I have all the other pieces. Except Anna said that she had that read extra piece in the kit !! What ? that was not in the "fabric requirements". My fabrics should be here in a week. Did you start yours? Which background are you using? hmmmmm
@@debanderson1075 Hi Deb! No I don't have much yet, only the pattern and a layer cake of Braveheart -- it was on sale and I love the reds -- but I haven't gotten the fat eighths of Evergreen yet or both backgrounds. There is a "Block background" of 1/2 yard and the main background of 2-1/2 yds. Plus I need the Silhouettes applique pieces and the red binding and the backing. Oh my! I didn't really realize how much more I needed! :-O Let me know what you decide to go with, if you don't mind. Thanks!
@@suzieellis8372 I am excited to do this. I do not have the pattern -yet. It should be delivered any day now along with most of the other pieces. I did order a yard of the bubbles ... I love those bubbles for my extra background for the blocks. If I like it enough I "may" go with that for the background. Unless I think it is too light. Look in your layer cake at the light bubbles .... what do you think? Or I may go with something I already have in my stash. Is the background 2 yards or 2 1/2? I kind of want to decide on the background so that I can start my first block. That first block needs the main background . Psst I also purchased the Braveheart layer cake on sale ! when will this madness stop! LOL Absolutely we can do this together .... keep me posted on what you think for a background. I also thought of a solid cream color ---- but wonder if that would be to boring.
@@debanderson1075 Hey Deb! Sorry it took me so long to answer -- I had to go back to work after a week and a half off for "staycation" -- and I wanted to do some more research (code for shopping)!! Anyway, I was worried that any of the other lighter fabrics in both collections would be too light for the background and not show any contrast with the background blocks of the tree. So, I did find on Edyta's website, a darker bubble print (SKU A-8515-L2) or this this other neutral print (SKU A-8834-N) . I am going to order one of those with the rest of what I need today. I will let you know how it looks with the rest when it comes in. I also thought a solid would be too boring and blah! Fingers are crossed! Getting excited now!! It's also great to have another quilting buddy!!! Do you also follow Anna's Stitch Roadie??? Do you do cross stitch too????
@@suzieellis8372 I cannot believe that I just deleted out everything I wrote to you by accident !! I have ordered Evergreen Husk #8515-GL and leaning towards using that background. It is not as dark as the kit --- but not very light either. I do not see it on Edyta's site. What do you think? it is in the fat eighth bundle. My pattern still has not arrived .... hopefully it will next week. I have ordered from 4 different sites and putting this kit together on my own. Fingers crossed it all comes out . Yes ..... I do cross stitch also.... it has been years , but Anna has sparked that flame again !!. I do alot of embroidery ( red work, green and blue work) . I love handwork. Do you want to email each other vs chatting here? and tying up Anna's site? debmatt547@gmail.com Talk to you soon .... let me know what you think of my background choice?
Pic of mountain lovely. Thank you. I am also having issues with my needlethreader. Couldn’t believe it when I saw you going through the same needle threading antics I am. Love your first block. Enjoy Woolstock.
You have not lost your touch, lady. A beautiful pattern, but I have five quilts to layer, quilt and bind. I just had another great nephew so baby quilting I go. I just finished one hand piece and am prepping and drawing for the next one. I also have a spinal problem and may need a second round of neurosurgery since the one in 2004. That will slow me down significantly. I hope all goes well. Have a great time @ Woolstock, I am jealous.
Thanks. I’m not doing that quilt but love your videos. I love the quilt and edyta She is amazing. Quilt Kit way over my price range. I know what you mean about piecing. I have been into the hand work with the embroidery and wool. I pieced 8 maple leaf blocks Sunday. Don’t know what is going to happen with them but sure was fun sitting at the machine. Trying to use up my fabric. Have a great trip and good weather. Thanks for the viewing of the mountain. Don’t see that in Florida. lol. But originally from New Hampshire. 🙋♀️
Anna I just started following you!!! I love it. Would like to know where I could get the light box that you have. Also watching you is really inspiring to me to get started with my hand stitching and getting in the wool projects!! Oh MY!! I am from Bend so loving your adventures!! :)
LOL.....Edyta's quilts are a real challenge but I know you can do it and it will be beautiful. She said anyone can as long as they take it one step at a time. It's still a challenge however. I bought the Eldon pattern long long ago. Bought all the batik material. If you Google it find the article about the young man that inspired Edyta to create it because it's amazing. Love an inspirational back story. Practiced with some old, less desirable fabric over and over and over. Finally got one that was spot on. Made a little pincushion out of it. The component I practiced was mini log cabins because hey, log cabins are fairly easy but I've never made such small ones. When you get a gazillion little log cabins made (yes I'm exaggerating) you sew them together with a mini strip set cut into diamond shapes and it becomes a beautiful 8 pointed star. She does admit it two basic shapes but very intricate. I really have to get back to it one day since I have all the expensive batiks and you're putting me to shame. Still love the bird on a spool pincushion. I bought a kit from Just Another Button Co and made a fat red cardinal-so much fun and it turned out beautiful. The mountain is breathtakingly beautiful. Love the look of snow if it would just stay off the sidewalks, streets and driveways-wouldn't that be grand. Enjoy Woolstock!
I am so happy you are doing this. I also received a charm pack (no layer cake) and also my fabric list in the instructions indicate that fat eighths are included. My challenge is selecting the right fabric as I do not see that she has specified which fabric to use other than the color. I did receive only one red fat eighths which is the same as your star. The charms are all in the red tones and the rest of the fat eighths in cream or green. Thanks and happy piecing!
Hi, after watching the video I have decided to change the background fabric and use the directional print on the backing of the quilt. It would drive me mad if the the lines on the print didn't match up! I am going to stip the whole row with the background as I go along. Still working on a Tradewinds King Size quilt! Glad I have seen this video before I started! Janet UK.
Quilt Roadies I have purchased a good quality plain for the background almost the same toffee colour. It is not too late to change your mind! Janet UK.
I bought a kit and received a message from the shop that I bought it from indicating the instructions were printed wrong. The charm pack included in the kit is correct! Can’t wait to get started!
I haven't started and I am glad I watched you and watched your hints. I did not purchase the kit but I ordered the appropriate fabrics separately. Like you, I also ordered the applique kit because I want to try it. I usually hand applique and need to try a different method because arthritis is making hand work challenging. Good luck on your trip, I heard blizzards are in the Northwest right now into Montana. Thanks for the info, I love that you get so tickled and laugh about it all. There are really no rules in quilting, just that you enjoy doing it. You make it fun just watching your reactions to the intricate directions, etc. Travel safely.
Great work! I love this pattern and always love me some Edyta creativity! Have a great Woolstock...I’m envious about that event. I need to pay more attention to Stacy schedules!
I have been admiring this pattern and after seeing your video, I'm definitely going to join you! It will be enjoyable to sew along with others and share helpful tips and encouragement. The Fat Quarter Shop has Edyta's pattern on sale this month for 30% off and they currently have this pattern if anyone else is considering joining. Enjoy your travels!
I love it, i know how you feel when we get a row done. Makes us feel good ! I could watch you all day making and sewing things. You probably would say to me “girl its time for you go home now. 😆 Have a good week !
Have fun at Woolstock! You don’t want to know that Edyta is offering Tannenbaum as a precut laser cut kit now!!!!! Your mountains sure are pretty. I’m hoping for a nice long fall here in Pennsylvania before the flurries begin.
Fun!! Felt like I was sitting across from you!! I was fighting with a Halloween cross stitch at the same time. I figured out the problem and you finished a block!! All is good!!! Have a wonderful time at Woolstock!!! Beautiful Mountain View too!!!
A bit like putting a flat pack together eh Anna ...who wants to read the instructions 😂 lovely surprise..I didn’t expect to see until you got back . Beautiful shot of the mountain. 😘💐
Thanks for showing the mountain I was hoping you would. I’d also like to see that little framed bee you have opposite your machine one time. It looks cute, did you make it? Your block 1 looks great. Enjoy Stitchville and Woolstock. Hope you have great weather while you’re away.
I think Edyta expects you to cut your geese to size after sewing them together. It looks a bit large but she has you cut larger than necessary so you can make it exactly right later...right before you sew the block together. I remember listening to her saying that in a previous tutorial
Enjoy your videos! If your needle threader is off it could be because of the needle. It could be bent ever so slightly,not set quite right, or have a minor manufacturing defect. Needles should be changed regularly...I change mine every 6-8 hours of sewing depending upon the fabrics I'm working with. -GG
Do you have a long arm on a frame, or do you only have the sit down long arm? I’m wanting to buy a long arm, but can’t decide if I want a stand up on a frame, where of course you move the machine and that I could also use pantographs on, or do I want a sit down long arm where you move the fabric. I wish I could find someone who can give me the pros and cons of both. Thank you. Love your channel, btw.
Donna, Helen Golden is a quilt ambassador for Handi Quilter. She has a sit down HQ machine. She also has a great you tube channel. I have seen her through some presentations she has done for HQ. Perhaps you could contact her through her web site helengodden.com/contact/ and see if she has info to share. Depending upon where you live you may have a HQ representative around. You could go to the HQ web site and find out if there is a rep near you. Before I bought my machine I met with a HQ rep and went through the different machines and identified pros and cons of each. I really like my long arm. HQ has a great deal of support and you tube channel.
Donna, the juke has a sit down long arm that can be moved to the stand up frame. One lady uses the stand up when at home. When she goes to Florida in the winter, she moves it to the sit down. She's been doing this for 3-4 years
Has Edyta made a video of making this like she had with`In Love`. I love the fabric but decided not to as have other projects still on the go. I had a Thimbleberrie`s pattern that I ended up missing the first part going to the sub cut part as where I had got that BOM pattern from only gave me half of the width so when I cut the first part of a 5" strip to 4 3/4" meant that I could not get 4 x 2 1/2" squares. I had to ask for more. The pattern gave the whole width but not the shop. From then on each time it came I read instructions and went to sub cut part after measuring the fabric. I`ve never done another BOM with them again. The quilt turned out beautiful but I love to have a little extra to play with.
I noticed you used Flatter & Best Press at different times when sewing this block is there a reason or you just ran out of Flatter? I’m still searching for unscented Flatter seems to be popular.
I was also wondering when you choose to use flatter and when best press. I have best press but have not used flatter. H ave fun in Minnesota. I live 8 hours north of Minneapolis. Thanks Anna
Hi Anna .......... I am joining you in the SAL ( Yes you hooked me again!). I did not purchase the kit .... did not want to deal with directional background fabric. I have everything identical except the background. What should I use ? hmmmmm
I just wanted to let you know I'm upset with you. I've watched Quilt Roadies forever and when you started Stitch Roadies I subscribed and watched because I enjoy you not because I had an interest in cross stitch. I did some stitching back years ago when it was popular but I was over that. Now I've fallen down the rabbit hole with you and my wallet is screaming and it's all your fault. I have enough projects and now I'm adding more every day. lol Love you!
Thank you Anna for your video. I will watch this again when I start my Tannenbaum. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks. Wishing you happy and safe travels!

Can't believe how cold it is there . Today it's 94 degrees here in Lexington KY! I love your channel. Keep it up!!!!
Looks very cute. BTW Karen and Judith I’m above Somerset!
You crack me up!,
Thanks for starting this SAL, Anna. I am ready to go. BTW, Judith Thacker, I am in Richmond, KY, and yes, it is HOT!
Hi, grew up in Stanford, Ky. N ow live in Arkansas. Still love Ky!
Enjoyed! Have a wonderful trip!

hanging together is good!

A bit like putting a flat pack together eh Anna ...who wants to read the instructions 😂 lovely surprise..I didn’t expect to see until you got back . Beautiful shot of the mountain. 😘💐
Thanks for showing the mountain I was hoping you would. I’d also like to see that little framed bee you have opposite your machine one time. It looks cute, did you make it? Your block 1 looks great. Enjoy Stitchville and Woolstock. Hope you have great weather while you’re away.
that bee was a gift...sweet!
Still want to see the whole picture of it!
Wow, Beautiful out your window! It's going to be 96 here in Maryland tomorrow!
I think Edyta expects you to cut your geese to size after sewing them together. It looks a bit large but she has you cut larger than necessary so you can make it exactly right later...right before you sew the block together. I remember listening to her saying that in a previous tutorial
I know how you feel with all the instructions! UGHH my brain doesn’t compute!
Love that view ❤️. Have a great trip!
Enjoy your videos! If your needle threader is off it could be because of the needle. It could be bent ever so slightly,not set quite right, or have a minor manufacturing defect. Needles should be changed regularly...I change mine every 6-8 hours of sewing depending upon the fabrics I'm working with. -GG

Do the stripes have to line up vertically? Stripe background is tricky.
it's tricky
Saw your post a few days ago, but I was tied up wit another project. I will get row 1 done this week.🤓

I like flatter best but when I am all done I tend to spray a bit of best press to starch it :)

I just wanted to let you know I'm upset with you. I've watched Quilt Roadies forever and when you started Stitch Roadies I subscribed and watched because I enjoy you not because I had an interest in cross stitch. I did some stitching back years ago when it was popular but I was over that. Now I've fallen down the rabbit hole with you and my wallet is screaming and it's all your fault. I have enough projects and now I'm adding more every day. lol Love you!
sorry....but misery loves company! LOL
I’m going to go through withdrawals whiles you’re gone😩
U know what you r doing,,
I can’t do that, my mind seems to wander
Have you translated the saying on your sweat shirt? Very vulgar my dear.
oh I know but at my age I can pretend that I don't know :)
