Great podcast. Thank you so much 💓. 💓. Nothing is better than seeing a family work together so easily. I have been quilting seriously for about 3 years now and can't get enough of the great info you give.
Hello Y’all- I so enjoy your podcast/videos 👏👏👏 I always learn something🤪. I understand your 🥵 weather, as I grew up in AZ. We have left that heat, but it still stays with you.😬. Chelsi, don’t beat yourself up as you have made progress, in small steps! I like to refer to them as stepping stones. Looking forward to the Big Project😀. Your small projects were fantastic! Thank you for all that you do! ❤️😀
I’ve made several of the small zipper bags from your video as gifts and they have used them for several reasons and they like them because they’re washable and cute.
I totally pack my clothes and accessories in tote bags and zipper bags in my camper. I love keeping everything in it's place in a small closet/cupboard space. I need to make more with some of the cute camping fabric out there. Even "glamping" fabric although I do prefer rustic camping. ;-)
I love your podcast and the opportunity to listen on my phone or watch on youtube. I really enjoy the mother/daughter back and forth, the respect and love you have for each other is very evident! I also appreciate Billy's support of your passion and business. You often talk about time management or time tracking, that sounds like something I need in my life. What system do you use? Is it available online?? Thanks so much for all of the quilty fun you share!!
For me I am retired and I really love time management tips! I want to get more accomplished and not feel overwhelmed! I love small projects just love small projects! I love giving gifts and love it but everything I make is very useable! Also bowl cozies and everything you mentioned! I think people really enjoy getting something handmade! I love your videos learn so much!!
hello ladies- and Billy! This is the first podcast I've ever watched. Thank you for sharing your projects and I love all of your quilts Chelsi. I am new to the quilting / sewing community. Mask making got me here. Of course, My goal is to make a quilt. I am just very curious, what the time span is to get one quilt finished. I look forward to your next podcast. And I also enjoy your everyday videos about quilting from both of you! Have a HAPPY 4TH OF JULY- TO ALL!
Thank you, ladies and Billy! I love listening to your podcasts. It seems I learn something new every time!! I love all of the tips for small projects! Sometimes you just need to make and finish something quickly!! I can’t imagine your summer temps, I wonder why I live in Oklahoma when the temps are 100 degrees!! 😩😁
She made lots of pillows cases. I taught her how to do French seam when doing pillow cases. She love to learned Great memory. Since your podcast mentioned pot holders. Brought many memories with my mom. Thanks. Yes,happy fourth July to all our American. My mom because citizen after living here for 50 years. She studied in English after I read the questions. She took the test in English. And did not know how to read before but showed me how intelligent she was. Her memory was awesome. Know wonder we smart cookies. Thanks.
I love making tea towel aprons. Missouri Star Quilt Company has a great pattern and tutorial. Super quick and easy. I’ve made them for all my grandchildren.
The quilt on the wall is fantastic. I love the Balboa collection. Not sure but think the colors are perfect together and scale is great also. Love the small project suggestions. Great job all
Drawer liners! Brilliant way to use up stash AND make you smile when you open a drawer. Love Chelsea's quilts, and I just happened to score some of the Balboa fabric on Etsy recently! Thx for the ideas of projects to sew with children, Chelsea! My granddaughter is coming to visit and I want to sew with her. And the timing of small gifts was timely, as it may jumpstart Christmas gifts. Great video this morning - Loved the variety of topics.
You both need Transcendental Meditation ♥️. Not religious, EASY, gives you energy! Worth every penny. It's too good to not learn. You all are really beautiful souls! Don't miss it! It is a big WIN!
❤️Love everything about "A Quilting Life" and always look forward to new videos and podcasts! ❓❓I have a question for Sherri - when putting aside scraps for your mini log cabin quilt project, do you put the scrap(s) aside as is or do you cut it into specific lengths/sizes? Also, how do you store scraps for this specific project? Thank you!😊
First, thank you so much for inviting us into your quilting life with each podcast. Secondly, I have a question for your next podcast. I was watching an earlier episode, and you both were discussing how your quilting has changed, especially the colors you gravitate to now. My question plays into this - what do you do with quilts that you've made (and want to keep) but the quilts may not necessarily "match" your house décor? Any tips on how to display these quilts without having to change out the entire room/house? (I don't mean holiday, though. I'm happy to change those out.) Any suggestions?
Yea! You're back! I've been there Chelsea (regarding burn out). The first step to pulling back from your excessive working. Is owning the problem. You got it girl!
Loved watching your podcast!!! I too love small/fast projects to do between the big projects! If you ever get time will you do a tutorial on the quilted curling iron cover? These would make great gifts. Thank you three, for a great podcast, I enjoyed it!!
Omgoodness. What is the pattern for the one with zippers inside! I saw that on a video of yours and have been trying to find the pattern ever since! Help!I found it in the description box. Yippee. I’m so excited. You guys give the best ideas for gifts, organizing, and reducing stress. Love this. Can’t wait for your new fabric. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Yet another great pod cast ladies and Billy! I was just thinking about finding a book to read and your suggestion was perfect timing! I too am a 'bag lady' and made that same set of 3 by Annie bags and the Sew Together bag is on my list too. One can never have enough zipper bags. :) And thank you for the reminder that now is a good time to start handmade Christmas gifts.
AS a dog person, I can share this tip for fireworks. If you take your dog for a car ride during the fireworks, they aren't as frightened in the car for some reason and when you bring them home, they feel safe because they didn't experience that boom in their home, they settle much faster. If I don't do this my dog continues shaking for a couple hours after the fireworks because he feels it may not be over, and it happened right there at home. If you do, though, please be sure to have them well secured when you enter and exit the vehicle or open windows as fireworks can make them bolt from fright as well
Hi sherry and Chelsea did you get rid of your something new segment I really miss it could you bring it back or is that out of the question love the podcast every two weeks I can’t wait for it to come on it’s the only one I watch faithfully . I have watched from the beginning.
Thanks for another great podcast- I love this new format with longer discussions on a topic or two! Ideas for a future podcasts- I know both of you have had projects published in magazines and I'd be interested to hear how that process works- do you create a project and then submit the idea or do publishers come to you? Also- do you ever get a creative block when designing and what do you do to get the creative juices flowing again? Happy 4th of July!
May I know, if you use the quilted placemat, they get washed daily? And do they stain quickly? I do have some before and they get very crinkly after washing that I feel like it is not supposed to be washed.. but that is only possible if I don’t use them. Lol
If the fabric was not prewashed they will crinkle after washing, a lot. Even washed fabric ones will crinkle a little if you used batting that will shrink. I love a crinkly quilt/quilted item though so I like the look.
Happy Monday! We you all be at the International Quilt Show in Houston this year? I live 19 miles from the convention center and will be attending. I have family from South Carolina flying out to join me for all the fun.
My mom always made pod holders but hers were used more often used for pan holders. Our family owns and runs a bakery in Galveston Tx. Her second made aprons for different seasons. She died about two yrs and left large trash can full of aprons and pan holders. She loved to sew. She was 87 years. Love God and worship him
Quilted drawer liners? Really? LOL You're going to get a lot of teasing about that. But I can understand. I mean, how many quilts can you use in one home? If we want to sew and quilt, we have to have small projects too.😉

Drawer liners in some of my kitchen drawers are a good idea.

Thank you Sherri and Chelsi for another fab podcast. Really enjoyed hearing from all three of you and your discussion on small projects.
I like to do Christmas stockings for a smaller project. You can try out a new block, use orphan blocks, or just simple squares or strips.
You both need Transcendental Meditation ♥️.
Not religious,
EASY, gives you energy!
Worth every penny. It's too good to not learn. You all are really beautiful souls! Don't miss it! It is a big WIN!
Transcendental meditation 🧘♀️?? I studied in college but I think the definition or practice has changed a bit? Could you elaborate? Thanks!!
Sherri, this podcast was a “Happy Mother’s Day” card for you! What a blessing. 💝

Love the Balboa quilt, I have a bundle and hadn't determined how I would use it, this may be the winner!
Another great show. Thanks for the small project tips. I like small projects to learn a new skill then adapt the skill learned to a larger project.🥰
Thanks for another great podcast. I like the new format. You’re family dynamic is awesome! Now I want to make some pincushions and pillows 😊
I’m inspired to start making Christmas gifts! Thank you!

She also made utilizes blanket. And gave to her children.
Loved the podcast today!
This was great and I appreciate all of your tips and ideas. Have a Happy 4th of July!
How about iPad or laptop cases with a couple zippered areas and sturdy handles?
Happy Monday! We you all be at the International Quilt Show in Houston this year? I live 19 miles from the convention center and will be attending. I have family from South Carolina flying out to join me for all the fun.
Sounds like you will have a wonderful time!
❤️😀
Great. I live an hour away. It’s hard to find parking. I usually spend all day. Look forward this year

Omg! Those Zipper Bags are adorable. Are they easy to make? Is there tutorials?
Do you have any quilts with dark or colorful backgrounds?
Billy mentioned you gave his girlfriend a quilted key fob. Can you show one? I'd like to make a set for our keys but need a visual and tips, please
I just quilt in my free time. I couldn’t imagine doing it until I burn out
Where were the winners shown? I somehow missed it and I don’t see it on your “video list” what is the title?
Quilted drawer liners? Really? LOL You're going to get a lot of teasing about that. But I can understand. I mean, how many quilts can you use in one home? If we want to sew and quilt, we have to have small projects too.😉

You girls are so cute together.
Please show close ups!
