Sharyonk! Your support always brings me such encouragement. Thank you so much!! I truly appreciate you- and your support of the channel!🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻 I agree with you about the quilting community. It is indeed filled with wonderful people! That’s partly what encouraged me to start the channel. It felt like it would be a safe place, a good place. I’ve not been disappointed! For you to consider that I belong in that community is quite flattering to me! Thank you for this too! I’m off to go look up “sweet peas and green tea!” I hope your family member is faring well!!

It is Green Tea and Sweet Beans...thank you for a quite place to end my day. I care for my Mother- in-law, who 85 with dementia. My husband takes nite shift. It is only the 2 of us, so believe me when it means a lot to take solace in your videos. I went to your Instagram page and caught up on that. I want you to succeed as I know you will. Keep yourself strong.

@@Sharyonkhey! Sorry did the delayed reply! I’m so very sorry about your mother in law’s health. I know that stress goes beyond what anyone can imagine unless you have been through it. It’s a lot! I’m beyond honored that in the midst of that you find the wherewithal to care about my channel. Thank you for that! I can’t express how much that means!

I was thinking about doing this but with a thinner wood than what I’m using for the table. But when I read your comment I saw it with a thick piece of wood. What I like most about that is that it brings the surface to a tilt even when the hinge is closed. Hmmm 🤔 So much to think about. 💭 🧐 Thank you so much for adding to the possibilities!!

@@LakesideQuiltmakingArts I didnt think about the tilt aspect when closed. Hmmm… I’m definitely not an architect. I even stretch it by saying I’m a quilter!😁

@@JoSews-t6mbullmallarchy! Lol😅😂 You’re a Quiltmaker! And clearly have some hidden industrial design talents.

@@LakesideQuiltmakingArtsYou’re so kind.

@@JoSews-t6mawww shucks 😊😅😂😀

Billy! So glad you’re pleased with your mom’s video! Looking forward to seeing your Pokémon quilt!

I O OHIO 😅

Thank you so much! Totally agree! I love Cheri’s work too! I can’t wait to see it

Thanks

Thank you so much for watching 🤍🤍🤍 I agree! Cheri’s quilt is going to be spectacular! 🎉 Miss Ruby is loving her life these days with my son being home. Two laps to sit on is better than one! I’m missing the Unicorn quilt and the Mars quilt! Not to mention the Blockheads and the moody blue sampler quilt. Trust me, I’m doing all I can to get back to them! 😂❤

You are remarkable at all you do. I so enjoy what you do. Inspiring .

@@Sharyonkyou’re terribly kind! Thank you so very much! I appreciate you so much!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you for watching!

Thank you my friend

I’m very grateful for this tip. I will go watch it! I’ve been thinking about how to perfect this so your timing is quite perfect. Thank you so very much! What a kind thing you’ve done, to take the time to find a video to recommend.

Well that’s very clever!! I would not mind it if the V itself was glued. I will hopefully keep that bit of genius in mind when I get back to stitching down that piece. Thank you so much for the suggestion!! Thank you also for the birthday wishes and for watching and commenting! It’s nice to “meet’ you!

Ohhh!! Thank you Friend!

Oh how clever! Thanks for the tip. The high heat touching a cool ceramic mug doesn’t shock the ceramic into a crack?

Oh my gosh!! That wet sponge idea is a gem!! Thank you 🙏🏻 and thank you for watching the video! I think I’m favoring the “starching with a brush!” Thank you for suggesting it. It’s much more precise! Do you have any tips for turning the edges that meet at a right angle or in a deep V?

Thank you so much!!

Yeah, lol I wanted to get a video out that more deeply reconnects with everyone. Thank you so much for watching - and my goodness, double watching!! You’re super sweet to do that! I hope you enjoy it once you get to watch it. “ME TIME” is such a precious thing. Thank you for sharing it with me!

Thank you

Thank you 😊

Thank you for watching!

Thank you! Trust me I missed being present with you all!! And, yeah, I’m grateful there’s so many ways to approach all the quilt projects. That’s what makes CZcams so awesome. It’s such a wonderful place of learning!! Everything and anything you want to learn… like your binding technique! I’ll be trying that one day! So glad you’re doing a channel so others (and myself) can learn what all you’ve learned!

👑 YES!! 😝 😂 let’s go with that idea!

@@LakesideQuiltmakingArts 🤓

Perfect example! We Quilters aren’t quitters! We keep going!

:-)

Thanks a ton! Glad you think so!

Sometimes we just need to let the peace of submersion into some other project to hear what our creative side has been trying to tell us while we busied ourselves in must-dos.

I’m looking forward to starting it once I get home. I’ve been on surgery travels for the last ten days. I brought all my applique that was ready to be stitched so I’ll be good and ready once I get home. Is it going smoothly for you? I’ve been looking forward to the embroidery!

I’m sure they’re cherished!

I was doing one at a time until the channel became a thing. I kinda like having multiple type of projects though. Some days are better suited for this or that kind of project ya know. I have no idea where the money will come from for the long arm but I am keeping it in my crosshairs and keeping space preserved for it. And letting God work on the details!

Howdy Neighbor!! I went to school nearish you, Arab High, Grassy Elementary, Cleveland High and Oneonta middle school! I’m glad to connect with you! I hope you’re staying off the operating table forever more!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching my videos!! The surgery was relatively a breeze. I should be going to the hotel tomorrow. I’m sorry to hear you have an extensive cervical fusion. Is your skull also fused to your cervical spine? Sometimes it’s through randomly sharing bits of my journey that I find connections with others with EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME, so I’m just wondering. I’m not trying to be nosy. The parts of my cervical spine that’s not fused c5-7 through T2 are unstable so that makes my spine fragile during bumps and the risks increase if I have a curve to that area when jostled by a car hitting uneven ground or a plane hitting turbulence. That’s what I was trying to convey. But it’s easy to get tongue tied on camera when explaining complex stuff! I hope you’re doing well now? Are you a quilter?

Gosh Jodi and Dave do fabulous work. I hope they influence a lot of people. If I can contribute to that all the better!! Thank you for your well wishes and kindness. I really appreciate it!

Carotid artery surgeries are not easy! My brother had to have both sides done. I hope that surgery was fully successful? I thought more about that wash. I recall getting it but I didn’t have to do five days of it prior to surgery like I’ve had to do with the neurosurgeries. Perhaps they’ve just upped the protocols. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you for all of your support and well wishes! I’ll do some kind of update once I’m pretty certain I’m no longer under the influence of the general anesthesia! 😂 I truly expect this to be a very uneventful thing all the way around!

@@LakesideQuiltmakingArts the surgery was successful, but had lasting side affects 🙄 some shorter term, others long term. Hopefully I won’t need to do the other side. Sorry to hear your brother had to do both sides, I was on the edge of that myself.

⁠@@JoSews-t6mhis vocal cords were paralyzed in the second surgery because of its location. It was intracranial so it took a couple of surgeons tag teaming their specialties. He only had a graveling low whisper for a year. That was 2016… he’s been V perfectly fine for the last few years. It took what felt like an eternity to see vocal improvements, but the surgeries saved his life -so there were no regrets even before we knew his voice would return. I really hope you don’t need that second one!

@@LakesideQuiltmakingArts wow. That must have been harrowing for him. I think because the arteries are slowly showing less blockage I’m gonna be OK. I was told in my twenties by my doctor that because my cholesterol was high for both the low and high density types, that they cancel each other out. I am proof that is incorrect. 🙄

@@JoSews-t6m 😢 I agree. Fortunately they’re learning more and more about cholesterol these days. But they have a long ways to go before there’s a consensus about any of it, unfortunately!!

Ha! Yours makes me appreciate the white background! Thank you for well wishes! They’re all very appreciated!! 🤍

Excellent perspective!

Bravo to you for striving to not have regrets. That’s exactly what I was trying to communicate. 👏🏻 I am beyond blessed to have my son’s very generous support. He’s such a good hearted person, it’s humbling. I absolutely love your analogy about quilting and my personal journey!! I’m really not expecting this surgery to have a significant impact on me. It’ll cause some soreness and fatigue but I expect only a week to 10 days of that effecting my productivity. That’s an eternity in some ways, but a blink of the eye in other ways. I’ll just try to make the best of it! Thank you for watching my journey unfold! 🤍

@@LakesideQuiltmakingArts I’m wishing for you the relief expected by having this surgery. Life sure does take us down some wonky paths! One of my favorite podcasters stated: ‘We all have a story, no one is spared in this life’. Which I guess is supposed to be the point of this existence, to experience and grow from the experiences. Sometimes I feel like I’d rather not grow anymore 🙄. At this stage in my life, I am happy to focus on experiencing sewing and growing in that skill. I feel like the hard lessons are done. Well, I’m hoping anyway. Blessings to you and your son! May all your hard lessons be learned, and now it’s time to have fun with sewing and stitching. 💖

@@JoSews-t6m oh my gosh! I have sooo much to say about this topic!! It’s a constant topic of discussion in my head and with God! I couldn’t even begin to reply appropriately here but I wanted to let you know you hit a cord- a positive one. I hope you’re well and getting to enjoy your artistic developments! Thank you -so very much-for being on my journey with me!

@@JoSews-t6m also, I’ve noticed you come up as two names Jo and Vicki. I’m interested in knowing more about that. If you’d like to reply, here or via email…whichever works for you. Lakesideqma@gmail.com

@@LakesideQuiltmakingArts I figured out that I didnt change my ‘handle’ to Jo Sews. Both names are valid, I sent an email.

Thank you so very much for your support- all of it, the watching and liking and commenting of my videos and the encouragement you provide! It is valued!

@@Sharyonk I’d love to know about your sewing/stitching and Quiltmaking journey too. Please feel free to email or share here. Lakesideqma@gmail.com

Yes ma’am! I can’t believe I walked that many steps. It was spread out over the day of course with a lot of sitting between activities. That’s what made it possible. I requested a wheelchair assistance when buying my tickets but never used it. That felt so good!
