High everyone. Pulling this video together took me a bit longer than I thought it would. It was fun playing with Mt Scrapmore again. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did. If anyone is wondering where I am walking...it's the Bruce Trail at the Fruitland trail.
Great video as always...you inspire me to use up my scraps...yr videos are so great in explaining ..easy to follow you and love how you go out of the box in thinking on block construction. .thank you!! Always ready for yr next video!!! Oh...love the outdoors!!!
Hello, love your videos and really loved the forest background. In fact, I found this one so much easier to watch. Took me a few minutes to realise why, because there weren't really bright lights flashing up in your glasses in this one! The other ones trigger me because the bright video lighting in your sewing studio acts like a strobe light and gives me a bit of a headache. Perhaps you could use a diffuser? Thanks for listening!
Thanks so much for creating your videos! I know how much work it is! Really appreciate it. Oh,,, I've made 36 string blocks so far and the pile of scraps must be having babies because it's not diminishing! LOL
I would love to have you do a quilt as you go video. I would love to start and finish my quilts on my domestic machine. Thank you for sharing your talent, tips, tricks and strategies!
Hi, I'm glad your were getting your exercise in. It's a good reminder to get up from the machine and get outdoors. And thanks for all the learning opportunities!
Karen I am so enjoying your RUclipss! You are smart and creative and really good at teaching techniques! I also think you have a great sense of humor which always helps! I really like all of your scrappy ideas-the diagrams are key to your teaching success! Thank you!!!
I just started watching your videos and I can’t believe I haven’t come across them before. They are outstanding. Extremely informative and fun. My question was about the foundation paper on the back of a string quilt Do you rip the paper off before you put it together in a quilt? How necessary is it to use a foundation backing? Whether it be muslin fabric or paper. Thank you very much I’m going to share your videos with everyone I know and I’m going to watch all of them.
Love the braid and where you placed it Would this be great to do with scraps of front of quilt? Still have not started a quilt but you videos are been put in a private play list.
Thank you for executing such high production values in your videos. The graphics of titles, the clarity of your examples and arrangements of pattern options are so helpful. Thank you. Great job.
Just Get it Done Quilts But commentor is right: I know you lament sometimes about not being a filmmaker, but you are really good at the demonstration/teaching thing. I think your production value is very high. That’s a very difficult thing to do and we thank you.
You are one of my very favorite teachers! Your tutorials are so well explained and your ideas are wonderful! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.😊❤️ I love each of these blocks.😍
I’ve been waiting for this video! I love your “$crap” videos. Your tips and suggestions are always so helpful. You had me with your tip about dealing with fraying. Ask me how I know😀
It's 5:30 in the morning. I was just about to go to sleep, but now I'm watching this. I normally don't keep 'strings' but I might start because these are some good ideas. Edit: And I'd love a quilt as you go video from you.
Quilt as you go tutorial please! I try to toss any scrap smaller than 1.5". It's a tough thing to do if it's a favorite fabric. I keep a bin nearby to toss them in. (It's overflowing)
I love the fact that you talk slowly enough for me to absorb what you're explaining. I can't tell you how many quilting videos I've tried watching in which the presenter is talking so fast that I can't keep up with (or learn) what that person is explaining. And I always thought I talked fast!! Bless you for what you do for those of us who are trying to learn the art of quilting!!
Thanks for another informative video. I have let "Mount. Scrapmore" get out of hand but I am going to try some of your fast and easy blocks monthly to bring it in to control. I am also cutting my 2.5" strips in to 2.5" by 4.5" rectangles and joining them into big blocks. That's helping with Mount Scrapmore too. Keep up the great work. I think a quilt as you go video would be great.
Don't try to do it all at once. Set your timer and work at it several times a month. That way it wont wear you down. You are looking for control not elimination.😀
I just want to tell you how much I enjoy alllll of your videos!! I had a dry spell for a while where I didn't want to touch my sewing, I put everything away and then I found your videos a few months ago and I got it back out. My sewing is my therapy and I needed it. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. You are so down to earth, friendly and your teaching style is great!
put those unused pieces in a fabric bag, whne it is puffy take to animal shelter for a cage bed, then the cat/dog takes it to their forever home; contact agency to see what size bed they suggest or use 14X14, 15X17 for example~
1/ STRING BLOCKS 2/ DIAGONAL STRINGS 3/ SCRAPPY L block .... 4/ scrappy log cabin 5 / scrappy court house steps 6/ scrappy braid ... similar technique as FRENCH BRAID quilts ... love it 7
Thank you, thank you. You are the Quilting Queen. After painstakingly sorting my stash by hue.. ...again. What a time suck it's been and life is too short. Your suggestions of simplifying the organization by sorting by value or cool, warm, black, white, makes so much sense, and allows more time for the fun parts like actually quilting.Your scrap tutorials are wonderful and the more you make related to scraps, the better.
Hi Karen! My scrap boxes are getting too full again. I did make a couple quilts with scrappy string idea. Worked out well. I used foundation fabric the first time. Now I made a cardboard template which works well. I needed to review your ideas. Thank you. Between yourself and Brenda in Edmonton, I'm trying to reduce Mt. Scrapmore. Marion in Oregon
Thanks for all the inspiration. My favorite scrap block is a string with diagonal strips with a white center. I make them 10" square using a paper towel for foundation. So easy and fun.
The string pieced blocks can be done foundation-style. I like to convert a used dryer sheet into my foundation "fabric" because it's so light. When you take the dryer sheet out of the dryer, it's a crumpled ball of polyester-mesh, but it flattens easily with a hot iron. Move quickly so-as not to melt the sheet. Or, if you want a more natural fiber, a thin muslin would work just as well. The benefit of foundation-piecing the string blocks is that all the seam allowances are tidy, sandwiched between the foundation and the surface, and unable to unravel or get messy.
Hi Karen, love your channel and all your tips and ideas!! But, I'm sad you toss anything less than an inch!! Might you be able to donate them to your local Goodwill; ask if there are any real scrap artists in your local guild? or? There are many of us that put those to very good use! :) Including making new fabric!! :D Thanks!
I was not taught how to make quilts, I only knew about the fancy one's with all the patterned sewing once they were put together. They were beautiful quilts, just too much work for me. My first quilt was made using all the jeans my kids and I grew out of and whatever neighbors gave me and created what I called 'drag around quilts'. Was tired of my kids taking my blankets and quilts outside to make their forts, especially the blankets that were fuzzy and everything stuck to them and were a pain to get clean. I used blocks of denim from the old clothes, the fuzzy blankets in place of batting and a heavy weight sheet for the other side of the quilt. There were made to be slightly larger then the top of a twin bed and I made a pillow to go with them. They were easy to roll up and take with you, could be used for travel, sleep overs and the every popular backyard forts, quite literally designed to be dragged anywhere. The kids loved them because it was denim and the sheeting meant nothing stuck to them and clean up was a breeze. Was also a great way to hide the ugly looking fuzzy blankets. They were so popular family and friends were asking for them.
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I am in the process of making one for my grand daughter and will take photo's before I give it to her. The other quilts are in different places with family and friends around the country since that was over 20 yrs ago and most of us have moved. In a bizarre turn, my daughters dog kept chewing on hers so will be making one for her as well, just not sure yet I can get both done in time for Christmas.
I’m impressed by your continued care in explaining the “how to” of quilting. I especially like these scrap management videos. On another note, I recently paid $95 for a class on color. Quite frankly, I learned more from your color theory videos than I did from the very expensive class. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Susie
I sat through color theory classes in college when I was studying fashion design. They were the most boring classes I ever sat through. I agree that she has made them fun. I personally don't worry that much about color - just in how things look together. And, with scrappy, I sometimes don't even worry about that!
Thank you for all those scraps subject videos they are really so intersteting and I learn a lot. Your explanations are crystal clear and I really enjoy your way of talking, as english is not my prima langage, I can understand you very well and it's awsome !
Mount Scrapmore Love It. How about a Mount Scrapmore day. Your none quilting friends would think you finally have got away from quilting and are doing something healthy like walking but you could be hidden away sewing...lol
I enjoy watching your common sense quilt ideas! I would love to see you do some quilt as you go techniques. I just finished a quilt as you go and I really enjoyed not having to quilt on a big huge quilt in a small sewing room with a home sewing machine!
I use the sheet fabric as a base for string blocks rather than paper I would have to rip out. I buy sheets at yard sales or Goodwill (or the cheapest muslin I can find) and cut squares about an inch larger than the finished size I want. I use the fabric as a guide for how long my strips have to be and it's easy to trim them to size afterwards.
High everyone. Pulling this video together took me a bit longer than I thought it would. It was fun playing with Mt Scrapmore again. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did. If anyone is wondering where I am walking...it's the Bruce Trail at the Fruitland trail.
I may never make a quilt but I love your videos, especially when I am homesick for Ontario. :) Thanks for getting them done!
I will take your one inch strips. I like those very thin strips in between wider ones, it just adds something to a strippy block.
Great video as always...you inspire me to use up my scraps...yr videos are so great in explaining ..easy to follow you and love how you go out of the box in thinking on block construction. .thank you!! Always ready for yr next video!!! Oh...love the outdoors!!!
It’s cool to see the Fibonacci sequence outside of math class starting around 4:30

Soul sisters ✋
Karen I am so enjoying your RUclipss! You are smart and creative and really good at teaching techniques! I also think you have a great sense of humor which always helps! I really like all of your scrappy ideas-the diagrams are key to your teaching success! Thank you!!!
Love seeing all these ideas for scraps , and yes, I would love to see a video on quilting as you go ! :)
I love the Scrapemore saying, lol
I just started watching your videos and I can’t believe I haven’t come across them before. They are outstanding. Extremely informative and fun. My question was about the foundation paper on the back of a string quilt Do you rip the paper off before you put it together in a quilt? How necessary is it to use a foundation backing? Whether it be muslin fabric or paper. Thank you very much I’m going to share your videos with everyone I know and I’m going to watch all of them.
+Belinda Heller It’s your choice when to rip the paper off. I like to wait until the quilt is together and the seams stabilized before ripping
Loved
Great video thanks
Hey boo hope all is well! This video was informative, thanks! I've done QAYG, but I would love to see your method, much love from NC, ❤
Thank you Buffy
Another great video! Would love to see a video or videos on ‘quilt as you go’!
I oh sew agree!!!
Please do a quilt as you go video.
I sorted 3 baskets of off cuts. Pressed and piled in colours. Then didn't know where to go next.
Love the braid and where you placed it
Would this be great to do with scraps of front of quilt?
Still have not started a quilt but you videos are been put in a private play list.
Front or back. Great for a fast quilt
QAYG please!
I like like to ser a quilt as you go, please.
Thank you for executing such high production values in your videos. The graphics of titles, the clarity of your examples and arrangements of pattern options are so helpful. Thank you. Great job.
Thank you for noticing. I often am jealous of videos where they just stand there and talk...it would be so much easier to make
Just Get it Done Quilts But commentor is right: I know you lament sometimes about not being a filmmaker, but you are really
good at the demonstration/teaching thing. I think your production value is very high. That’s a very difficult thing to do and we thank you.

I cannot believe how many threads they generate
Yes would like to know about the quilt as you go and the best way to do this. I find your videos very useful thank you again xx Justine
It's 5:30 in the morning. I was just about to go to sleep, but now I'm watching this. I normally don't keep 'strings' but I might start because these are some good ideas.

V Kelly literally me last night Thank god I’m not the only one 🤣🤣 ended up being 630 before I stopped these videos and went to sleep 💤

cant wait for your improv video!!! also yes, would like the quilt as you go video. esp interested in how you bind them together. ❤️
I use a adhesive spray to baste my quilt sandwich. How can I use these slightly sticky pieces of batting? Love your videos.
Waiting for your QAYG Video!! Not too much pressure …
I love everything you do. These vids have helped so much in my quilting journey. I will watch any vid you do :) Thank you

Yes yes quilt as you go. I still can't get my head around how to put them together!
You are a good Teacher, but trying to follow you is hard to me. Thanks for sharing 11-6-19

Yes quilt as you go Please, Thank you. You explain fabulously!
Yes, could you do a quilt as you go video? I've done one before but wasn't sure how to see the back on without messing up my front seams....thank you
