    It was Christmas at my house today, got my last order of books 9 in total. I can't wait to sew. On a sad note, I lost my job of 19 years today so any good thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated as I go down that road of getting a new job. Not easy when you're 67 years old.

      Prayers and good thoughts... it's tough to lose a job at anytime, but at 67 and a 19 year investment of your time and loyalty...

    Thank you for your tutorial on monochromatic quilts. Great tips and tricks, like the paint chips! One more reason why a monochromatic quilt might be desirable is when you make a lap quilt for a cancer patient. Everyone knows about pink for breast cancer, but I have gifted a grey one for a young man suffering with brain cancer, and a purple one for my cousin diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

    The colors of the first teo examples were great! I’m a blue person too! But surprise! My favorite was the last quilt with the animal print. The black white and grey is so classy. It just fits regardless of age or whether you are boy or girl. I bet red borders on those blocks would make it pop ( but then it wouldn’t be monochromatic). Thanks for the color lesson.

I just bought the two new books so I have the complete set. I love the monochromatic quilt designs! Such a great way to focus on a color but to show all these beautiful fabrics!

  • @anitajonsson4379

    Yes it is. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these quilts! I know that this is what I always seem to say, but every time you bring out a new video I really do feel this way! I guess you ladies are just so creative and have such fabulous ideas that it really does happen every single time: LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. When I was growing up, my Mom and I use to go looking at show homes for fun. We saw many beautiful homes, but there is one that I still remember. It was a bungalow that was decorated in all pink. from the very lightest shade of pink, right one through the whole spectrum to a raspberry burgundy color. As soon as we walked through the front door we fell in LOVE, our first glance inside literally took our breath away, it was just stunning, exquisite, gorgeous ...and believe it or not, the Interior Decorator did such a magical job that I promise: guys would have liked it too. It wasn't a Barbie house, it was an understated, elegant, awe-inducing place. One day we happened to be driving by and a big-faced Basset hound was looking out the front window. I guess he loved it too. :-) All of your quilts and ideas during this video on monochromatic quilts definitely show how I could bring the idea home with me, if not that house. You even knew about the idea of using the paint strips that have the gradations of tone in one color. I just LOVE Fabric Cafe, If I forget to say it when the holiday arrives, "HAPPPY VALENTINES DAY to FABRIC CAFE!" 💝

    Hi Ladies, I’m always excited to see your new tutorials. This one is fantastic! Love the monochromatic look. You mentioned an alternate pattern of ‘Tumbling Triangles’. I couldn’t find it on your website. Is it in one of your books? I’d love to get a downloadable version of it. It looks awesome. ❤

    The Time Machine pattern could be made easier and faster to make the Hourglass block like Jenny from the MSQ Co, fast Hourglass instead of all the Half Squares.

    • @FabricCafe
      @FabricCafe  11 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, there are many ways to make different blocks. This is just the way we do ours for this pattern. Thanks for sharing!
