Welcome to Aunt Debbie's Boutique
Each video with highlight a simple project, with me showing you step by step how to cut it out and construct it. Simple techniques that don't cause frustration.
All you need is a sewing machine you can operate, a pair of fabric scissors, sewing pins, a seam ripper, and an iron. A cutting mat, rulers and rotary cutters are an added bonus. We will address fabric, thread and needles in each video.
Patterns are child friendly but children always should be supervised when sewing.
I am a single mom in W. Texas with a 30 yr old daughter who has had a passion for sewing since I was 10 years old. I also have numerous nieces and nephews and have sewn for them since they were born and that is where my brand of Aunt Debbie's Boutique comes from. I have spent most of my adult life teaching sewing classes to kids and adults. This channel is dedicated to passing these patterns and skills to a larger audience in a much more user friendly format. You can watch these videos at your convience rather than have to choose between going to your sewing class or your kids soccer game.
Let's get to sewing!

Aunt Debbie please do not apologize for being tired or making mistakes. We all make mistakes! Lord only knows I make way more than my share 😊. Your quilt is amazing and so beautiful. Be proud of your work, it’s lovely. ❤❤
Thank you so much
After all that you went through lately, I'm thinking that you're doing very well. All of those unexpected things that happened can easily mess with our thinking processes. Take care of yourself and relax as much as possible.
That’s a beautiful quilt. I appreciate that you shared with us the mistake in piecing a couple of blocks as It makes the process more real.
I didn’t realize how many mistakes I make until I started recording. I’m so used to fixing them & moving on that they don’t count in my head. But when the whole world is watching, it feels like they are monumental!
Your errors were what puts us at ease! We're all human. I like option 3 as well. Thanks so much!
Well I seem to become extra human when the camera turns on. Thanks for your encouragement!
Option 3 looks awesome. Good choice! Aunt Debbie, do not apologize, this was so much work already. So thankful for the tutorial!
Thank you for your encouragement!
Thanks for your video! I liked option 3 also. I really like blue and white. The fabric you did the demo on was my favorite.
Mine too! That’s why I saved it for demo. I find myself picking out blue fabric all the time and have to make myself use a variety.
So, so lovely. Your sewing is beautiful and the varieties of blue sparkle.
I spotted the flipped units and have so much empathy for your tired sewing issues.
Thank you. We all have our days, don’t we!
This is my first time watching your video. I love that you didn’t delete your mistakes, we have all been there.
Jacob’s Ladder has been on my quilt list for a few years. I have all the fat quarters in orangy/yellows, dark browns and blacks.
God bless you.
If I deleted my mistakes, there wouldn’t be much left. I bet your quilt will be beautiful!
My favorite is #3 also. Thank you for showing us how to make this beautiful block.
You are so welcome! No 3 has been unanimous so far.
I love the colors and layout you used. Very pretty!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! You made a lovely quilt. Thank you for showing us ❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you for your comments!
Please don’t apologise, we ALL have days when nothing seems to go right! At least you persevered, I would have crawled into bed and pulled the covers over my head!
Nothing like having bad hair days in front of a large audience. Seems like when I turn the camera on, it all goes downhill fast! But thanks!
Your mistakes make you human! It’s so much more relatable, when you realize you’re not the only one that has to go back and fix a block after it’s all together…😂😂😂
I love the chandelier quilt pattern.
I’d be shocked if I never made a mistake when sewing!!! I,appreciate yiu showing us what happened and how to fix it. I love thst blue fabric - I’m still working on collecting whites with different designs.
Well I promise to continue to be human and relatable! It won’t take any effort. Lol! The chandelier quilt will be my next one as I’ve already started cutting it out.
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 😂😂💕
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 I look forward to seeing it! It’s definitely one of those quilts I want to make, but haven’t gotten around to, yet! Maybe I’ll make one soon. I was just gifted a beautiful fat quarter bundle. That might be something I can use it for.
Yes, it takes 7 fat quarters and you only use about 2/3 of each. (But each fat quarter makes 6 blocks so you could use more if you had that many. )I’m wondering if I can use the leftovers for a border and will graph it out to see. It also takes 3 yds of background fabric. I will post all the details when I post the video.
Beautiful quilt Debbie...really enjoyed your time ❤
Great ironing tip for half square triangles !! Love your teaching style and love this beautiful quilt ! Thank you for sharing 🙏
You are so welcome! Thank you for tuning in!
Your quilt is beautiful! We all make mistakes we learned from them you’re making making mistakes teaches us and I’m grateful for it.
Thanks for sharing the video with us!
Please get rest! In Jesus name amen! 😃🙏🏾
God bless you!
Thank you for sharing. Blue is my favorite color. I certainly am going to make this one in option three.❤❤❤
You’re welcome 😊 I gravitate to blues all the time and have to make myself use other colors.
I really like that pattern and downloaded your instructions so thank you. I've never made a quilt without some mistakes. God Bless
God bless you too.
I just love your way of helping me understand quilting!! You’re the second person that I’ve watched that is genuine and real, if you know what I mean. The other person is a quilting giant, her name is Eleanor Burns of “quilt in a day”. Your style is very caring and willing to share your knowledge, you’re an amazing woman! Keep it up!
Thank you so much. I love sharing my passion!
just signed up for your show, I enjoyed it. It is real. And . Sweet fur baby.
Thank you. Love my fur babies and welcome!
I am glad you are back! I'm sorry you had to endure the flooding from the water heater, and being sick!
Thank you. It’s all behind me now.
Take that extra block and make a pillow with it. This is the first of your videos that I have seen , and I am looking forward 😀 to watching more. I like option three.😊❤
Thank you!
Number 3is the nicest Jacobs ladder I’ve seen thanks
Thank you!
Beautiful quilt and beautiful dog!!
Thank you! 😊
Poor thing. We all have days like that!! Sounds like you have had a time the past 2 weeks. Hopefully you are resting and not stressed.
Life is much better now. Just a bad week. Thanks!
Yep! I prefer the *option* you selected. Love this block! Thank you!
Yay, thank you!
Beautiful work. Option 3 is my favorite. I just found your channel and subscribed.
Thank you! Welcome. Option 3 seems to be everyone’s favorite so far.
LOVE the first and third layout, the colours you have chosen are perfect - so crisp and clean 🤗 When I make mine, if I am not able to decide in the final layout then I will make the pattern twice! BTW, your nails are gorgeous😍
Now that’s a plan! Two totally different quilts with one easy block. And thanks for the nail comment. I was blessed with thick tough ones!
3 was my favorite. This is going to be my new Christmas quilt. Of course it will be red and white!
That would be gorgeous ! It would also look good kind of scrappy with various Christmas prints. I might have to try a Christmas quilt if I can find the time!
All gorgeous blocks, I love the orientation you chose 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful quilt, mistakes happen. I have had my fair share of mistakes. Looking forward to seeing your next quilt. I just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you so much! Welcome!
That looks so beautiful on your dining room table. I like your first option.
Thanks so much! 😊
Hope things get better. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you. Hopefully the worse is behind me.
Bloc loc rulers are very expensive. Just a hint if it’s not in your budget these days. Take 3-4 layers of painters tape, precisely lay it right next to the 45 degree line on your 6” square ruler….WALA you have a bloc loc ruler. I use this all of the time when squaring my HST’S. I this hope this hack helps someone. Happy quilting everyone❣️. Thanks for the Video!
Someone else suggested this too and I wish I had known it before I ordered one. Next time I ask about something, I need to wait for the responses before I act! Thanks.
Beautiful love two colour quilts
Me too! Thank you!
This is BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you so much
Your ideo is wonderful. Thank you!!
Thank you!
Bless you ❤ your hands are lovely.
😊 thank you
My husband and I both picked the way you did it! It’s so pretty!
I’m so glad that it seems to be the one everyone liked. A quilt will speak to you when you lay it out.
Very nice and easy.very well explained.thankyou so much.
Thank you!
I like all the options, but I agree with your choice! It is very beautiful! Get some rest! It sounds like you did enough in two weeks that many of us do in two months! I will be looking forward to your next tutorial!
Thank you! Will do! God bless you.
I like option 3 also! Great block - thank you for sharing!
Thank you for voting and commenting!
I am a beginner and you are quite reassuring to me - thank you so much 😊
I'm so glad! Hang in there. It’s gets easier & easier…and more addictive!
I also like option 3 the best. This is a great pattern because of all the variations a person can make of it. Thanks.
Glad you like it! Thanks.
I really like this quilt. thank you
You are so welcome!
This is a beautiful quilt! I love the third choice that you picked out. Thanks for the cutting instructions for the fat quarters too! 🪡 I was also impressed with how fast you threaded your needle with such long nails! 💅😄
Lol! I’ve had lots of experience threading needles! Thank you for your kind comments!
Definitely option 3! Gorgeous 😍
Great minds think alike!
Those. Lock lock rulers are great. Get ya one.
I will!
I think option 3 is the traditional design of the Jacobs ladder, which is my favorite layout. I love the all blue and white. I did an Ohio Star in blues and whites a few years back. We all make mistakes, especially when we're tired. Try and take care of yourself. I enjoyed your video.
Thank you. I love blue & white too and always gravitate to those fabrics.
Love your color selection.🎉
Thank you. I always Leah towards blue in quilts. I have to make myself use other colors first variety
So pretty. I love the blues 💙. I like option 1 or 3 the best. I love you chose 3 option, it is so pretty ❤
Thank you! 🤗
I love that quilt and I would choose option 3 as well!❤
Great! We’re in the majority!
I love my Bloc Loc rulers!! They were a game changer for me.
I have one on the way. Can’t wait to try it!
@auntdebbiesboutique1223 I've got both of the small square sets, and one of the half-rectangle ones as well. They are so easy to use, at least for how my brain works, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts!!
# 3 is my favorite. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for your vote!
Love seeing you working with a block being a little short. My tendency is to pull both edges together. I see you working with it ao I'll give a try without stretching the fabric so much. 😊
I always have some short blocks. If they are too short, I’ll double stitch them for extra hold.
I love pattern # 2, but I will keep the darker in the middle square around & the lighter for the next outer square, then back to the darker on the outside square. ❤ Can't wait to start ... TY
So glad you found an option you want to make. There is no bad choice!
I love that…”Oh, darn” ❤
Don’t we all love a good excuse to go fabric shopping! 😀
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 For sure!!!
Like option 3 the best, but also number 1, beautiful!!😊
Thanks for voting. Option 1 was my second choice too.
I’m a fan of number three as well, but you could probably play around with this one for a little while. I love quilts that create a chain pattern. I think I’m going to make this one. I have some fabric that I’ve been trying to figure out what to make with it and I think this might be it.
Wonderful! I do like all the many options and I just showed a few of them.
The BlocLock is great but you can DIY it: position a couple layers of masking tape diagonally across your ruler. Trim your HSTs before you iron them open; you’ll only need to trim two sides instead of all four.
What a great idea! Never thought of that but it’s obviously easy. Thanks!
Really nice
Thank you!
We are all human! You are running on fumes…. Rest and take care of yourself.❤
God bless you.
I liked option 2 & 3, but 3 was my favorite.
Good. Me too!
Timely ! Ijust found a circa 1920 top in my stash ! Its set like #1 I like #3 better ! Mine could be quilted as is with a binding, which is what they would've done. Now , since its mine , I may take it apart and re set it . 🤔🎉
How cool! What an awesome thing to have in your stash!
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 I just looked at it again! It's 7×7.5 blocks . It's alternating diagonal blocks of light and dark. The center block is a black with a very thin contrast. I'm goto have to replace it with same era fabric. I know the iron mordant will destroy the black fabric and the light one will probably tear ! Good thing I collected salvage tops for repairs! Other than that it's OK! I'd rather deal with it now than after quilting! Gauzy or rotten fabric is the #1 problem with these darlings ! #2 is no contrast ! I have a top of 6 Inch 9patches it needs a sashing ! Hand done, of course ! 😆
I liked pattern 3 best 😊
Good choice. Thanks for voting.
Love it!!!
Thanks!
That is a beautiful quilt
Thank you so much!
The BlocLoc for HST is fabulous - a bit on the pricey side but worth it! I have several along with many other rulers😲😲
Good to know! We can never have too many rulers!! Thanks.
I like the layout you used
Thanks!
I also would have chosen option 3. I was tickled to see your golden in the shadows of the table.
She is my shadow. Never far from sight. Also have a Yorkie that is equally underfoot. But love them dearly!
I like option 3 as well Thank you.
Good choice! Thanks.
I like 3 also it seemed to flow best.😊
I agree and it’s the majority choice.
I know this video came out a little while ago but I'm loving your #3 option.
Great! That’s the majority opinion. Thanks for voting!
Thanks
You’re welcome!
Love option 3
Great minds think alike.
I love 3 and 4❤
I love the versatility of this block. Those 2 options look like totally different quilts.
I like option 4 but they are all awesome❤
There is no bad choice. Thanks for voting!
I like option 3 also...thank you
Thank you. It seems to be the favorite.
Leave mistakes in as a good point on what to watch for. I like options 1 and 3. Versatile block with all these options, could look good even in a scrappy version
I think scrappy would be great. It would give it lots of interesting character.
I really liked option three as well
Great. Thanks for your vote!
I love option #3
Thanks you. It’s definitely the favorite. Thanks for your vote.
Option #1 , it’s how I picture a ladder.
I like that one too and you are right. It does remind me of a ladder! Thanks for your vote!
I love option 3
Thanks. It’s definitely the favorite
The only option I didn’t like was 2, but my favorite was 3, then 4 and then 1 ❤
Thanks for voting. #3 is the most liked and then the others are a mixed bag. It just shows that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and there are no bad choices.
option 3 is my favorite choice also
Thanks. It seems to be the majority vote.
Just subscribed
Thank you very much!
Great video! It looks like one block has a small square out of place?
It does! I caught it and fixed it. Good eye!
Option 3 was my favorite
Thank you so much for voting.
Option 1 was my favorite
I think that was my second favorite. Thank you for commenting that. I might do another one someday and try it.
I like 2 and 3,, thanks
Thanks for voting. Good choices!
I like option 3 also.
Good. That’s the majority vote.
It’s me again😁😁. I,love listening to the sounds of different sewing machines (I know this is kind of weird!) and am curious about the machine you are using. Would you mind if you share the machine you sew on??😮😮😮
This one is a Juki T98E, I believe. I have many machines, but this is my favorite for quilting. When it was in the shop, I used my grandmother’s Pfaff. I can’t remember the model number but she got it in 1954. It also is good for quilting but the thread seems to break easily on it. One of these days I’m going to do an ASMR video of just machine sewing as you aren’t the only one who thinks listening to sewing machines is relaxing. I do too!
Don’t get so down on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes.😊
Some days just seem worse than others but thanks!
There is a four patch that is not right. 38:51 time middle of screen on the bottom medium fabric. Sorry Loving the blues thanks for sharing. Have a much needed wonderful summer.
I caught it and fixed it. There was also a second one at the bottom you couldn’t see. When filming, I miss a lot of things. My mind is always on what I’m going to say next. Thanks for catching it!
Please don’t worry about my Dropbox comment - I did a “fix” - I use an iPad which could have been the situation? Don’t know - but I just took screen shots, used the iPad to resize the important parts of each picture, saved and then printed the pictures out. I also just did the same with your drawing - very easy to get what you were after😁😁😁. And yes, I like to have printouts as a reference🫢🫢😁😁😁
I’m glad you found a fix but I will still have someone look into it. I wish RUclips would let me post pictures in the comments that you could download and Etsy makes me charge for anything I post there. I will continue to look for other easier options. I need a paper copy too so I totally get it!!
I also like no.3
Great minds think alike.
Think no. 3
Great! Thanks for voting!
I like option 3
Great minds think alike!
I like option 3 best
Great minds think alike!
Some quilters purposely make an error (flipped block/color mismatch) when assembling their quilt tops.
The reasoning is only God is perfect.As for myself, I'm easily imperfect without making the effort...lol
Love the blues as well as Jacob's Ladder. 🍄🍄
Me too! I don’t have to purposely make mistakes, they come easily! Thanks.
I would do option 4 but keep each row the same color.
That’s a great idea! I like it.
@@auntdebbiesboutique1223 I like this quilt pattern it looks great in blue.
