I love turning Mens shirts into jewel neck pullover tops. I also look for long sleeves, and because I live in Florida, cotton is a must. There are a lot of nice rayon shirts out there too, but I’m not an expert sewist yet, and rayon frays a lot. I pick all the seams apart very carefully, though. No just lopping off the collar for me. It’s so much fun!

Thank you thank you for sharing your streamline methods… you are so brave… when people watch me work at “anything” most think I am strange… productive but strange

I have used the term craft worthy since I do other crafts as well. Some people are craft worthy and some aren’t. My own mother was not craft worthy. Took me a long time to realize that and cut her off (like she cared). My older brother, who had been hard to deal with since the day I was born, is craft worth. He values the time invested. 🤷‍♀️

You make this look so easy! Thank you for a perfectly clear tutorial! I am not a quilter and I only know the basics of sewibg, but now I feel I can make any quilt I want 😊❤️

Beautiful and the process does exercise the brain. From crumbs you are making new fabrics.

I have just finished making my first scrappy quilt and a friend has sandwiched it for me (because I am allergic to the basting spray). I need to quilt it now and am wondering if I need to sew my lines closer than my usual 4” because some of the pieces are quite small. It is a quilt for the Linus project, so it might have a tough life with some child, but will hopefully be loved as it is so bright and cheerful. I have managed to fussy cut in dinosaurs, cats, dogs, Mr Men, cars, trucks and all sorts of other little items to “find”. I only have a domestic sewing machine and don’t know how to do free sewing with the feed dogs down. Many thanks for any advice.

While watching you sew the green blocks, I couldn't help but think about the hippie blouses we wore back in the 70's. I absolutely loved them! How cute would it be to make a blouse out of these? Yeah, it's definitely on my list now!

Yep. 🧵🪡

You are incredible!! So happy to find your channel, God bless you❤😊

You are amazing love watch and listen to you and you don’t even show your face and your like the most Beautiful Lady 😊

Sooo nice!😘🥰😍😍 Hello from Australia 🌏🦘❤

😍💗💚

I love this ! :D

Cool 😘

I agree with others that you are a great instructor! There are thousands of wonderful crafters, but not all of them are able to teach others to be the great crafters. Some of them (like my DH 😊) would say: "Don't you see? Its obvious!" And some just are not quite verbal and using bunch of "aaa" and "you no" or "you no what I mean" after every word, which doesn't help the learner... Many thanks to you! In 2 years my granddaughter is going to graduate high school, and I would like to make a quilt for her. So, I am getting prepared. I am not a stranger to machine sewing, but never have done quilting before, wish me luck, friends! Thank you very much for sharing!

I love the way you sew with the organizing everything. I do not make quilts but love to make patchwork table runners, bags, cushion covers and storage bags and I have to have everything nice and organized, my brain can not cope otherwise and I would just give up.

BORDER ?? With the foundation still attached to the blocks does it make the center of the top thicker with a single layer border? How does that affect the final sandwich and quilt? (I skimmed through the comments and didn't find an answer.)

This is the extra stuff I needed to know 🎉

Love this and your workflow is marvellous… stress-free quilting at its best - thank you. Isn’t it wonderful to have the hsts for more projects (I keep forgetting to do that), a good reminder for an after project.

It looks like Life Savers. Pretty.

Love this!!! I love crumb piecing! I dont always have time, but its so nice when I do 😃. I also double sew my corners for bonus HST! So many fun ways to use them 😊 love the way you lay everything out in a way that makes sense to you. Makes sewing time so much more fun and relaxing if your project is set up and ready to go. Thanks for the video! 😃

I like the pace of your videos. You must have produced other content elsewhere because your videos are the best. I find myself watching them more than once. Thank you for sharing! 😃🌿💐 Oh, and fantastic quilts.

That is an interesting quilt top and even more beautiful in part because you press with your iron as you go. You definitely got me thinking about crumb blocks because your tone on tone blocks are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your methods (best practices) and designs. Best wishes! -Susan

You are SOOOOO fun!! As others have said, I too like your attitude. Quilting isn't brain surgery, and no one will die if the corners don't match. What a great way to use crumb blocks, and those extra little cut off HST's. You're so frugal and creative. I really appreciate you showing how you streamline and prep everything. You are such a good teacher!

Fantastic!! Love your rooster!

This looks such a fun and relaxed pattern.

What a beautiful and cheerful quilt! And a great way to use crumbs! Definitely a future project for me, I love your videos!

I don't mark my fabric - I mark my sewing machine. It works great for smaller units. The large units I'll either press or draw a center line.

I love your videos. You do such a good job of showing the steps in great detail. Your quilt is so fun and colorful!

Amei! 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That you for explaining without over explaining. So refreshing!! Love the quilt. On my to do list.lol

Great! Love your videos ❤

I do the same thing when I am snowballing a corner.

Love it ! Well done.

Thank you for the video 😊I just finished mine

Thanks for sharing

Love this quilt. The colors are joyful. It is definitely going on my to-do list. Thanks for sharing.

I love this block! Scraps are my favorite, your teaching style is perfect for beginners and advance quilters🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

No debt! Absolutely know your financial limits! "All of it" is my phrase! I typically look for skinny bolts. Have a friendly conversation with the clerk, they typically appreciate not having to restock. Easy for me to do over $1k in a trip. Always find the "sale" items first - I will often pass on the 'full price' even if I truly adore it. I have now also begun to look for coordinating fabrics - in 3s, of course (IYKYK). BTW - my last tabulation was over 2-miles of stash. My two biggest problems: borders for the tops (esp those scrappy ones); and keeping the stash dust free (clean bins - interior labels facing outward on all four sides).

I have learned to gift quilts only to people who appreciate them. To satisfy my quilting habit, I am a member of a church quilting outreach. They have located needs for baby, lap an twin sized quilts. Lately I have had friends and relatives coming out of the woodwork "needing" my quilts. I love it! I am guilty of giving baby quilts to my beloved dogs. Just trying to be the devils advocate here.

Love it! Looks so nice. We do a similar pattern for donation at my church quilt outreach. Ours has sashing and corner stones. I really like your use of crumbs.

this quilt makes me so happy to look at.. I usually just sew any old scraps together. But now, I will make blocks by colors!! Thanks for the inspiration.

This was an absolute excellent tutorial. You are extremely organized and very thorough. I am new to your channel and cannot believe that I haven’t found you earlier. Great job❗️

I just love your videos and your upbeat attitude towards quilting so much. Thank you for your content!

Love this quilt and everything you share with us , with tips and ideas! You make it so much fun and easy to understand! 🤗

More crumb patterns , please

Your little scissors are so cute! Great quilt idea!
