I have some of my grandmother's doilies. Glad that I came across to your video. What kind of fabric did you use? Please, email me the type of fabric or the names of the fabric. Thank you very much. Maria
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I'm very excited to finally start a baby quilt. I've watched so many videos and yours is definitely the best.
Your work is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for treating hand made doilies and linens with such respect. I have a huge assortment of lovely pieces and you have shown me a wonderful way to repurpose them to share with family and friends.
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful and what a fab idea l love this tutorial tfs 😊❤alison
Love the pattern, what size does it end up being
Thank you for your comment. You will find all the sizes for making the pattern, including the finished size, in my Etsy shop, Elizabeth.
What a wonderful a beautiful idea to be treasured for a lifetime thank you for this video.
Thank you you explain very well
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
SOOOO CUTE... LOVE'EM... VOLUME IS A LOW THOUGH...
Fantastic
Thank you!
Thank you, Elizabeth,for your stippling tutorial. I have been a fan of stippling for many years. I took a class from Harriet Hargrave and it's always my first choice when I quilt. I love it's soft, vintage look. I am so happy to have found you, my new friend! ❤
Welcome and thank you for your kind words!
Beautiful
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
This is so helpful! I am struggling with the binding. Back to my sewing machine, but I bet I will be successful this time.
That is so good to hear, thank you!
Excellent!
Thank you!
Estimada amiga, hace ya mas de 30 años que hago pastsword, 10 colchas e infinidad de cosas mas pequeñas. Y la catedral, siempre se me resistió. Después de ver su video, me parece sencilla. Ya estoy escogiendo telas para hacer un camino de mesa. Gracias por sus explicaciones desde Barcelona.
So happy to hear that. I love the Cathedral window. Do post a photo when you have finished, would love to see it. ❤️
Love this idea. I have many doilies from my grandma. Did you machine stitch the doilies or hand stitch them on? Beautiful!’
I machine stitched as far as possible, and any remaining edges that still were not secure, I hand stitched. Happy you loved the idea.
I've made the quilt up to the point where you put the "window" squares in & topstitch. My problem is that there is a quite noticeable lump where the seams are joined underneath the windows. Can you suggest a way to soften these or hide them. Would a square of batting help under the window?
See if you can flare out the seams a little where they all join underneath. This can eliminate too much thickness and avoids the lump. Sometimes if the seams are all pressed in the same direction it can create this problem.
These cushion covers are absolutely exquisite. Thank you for sharing this advice.
Thank you. They make a lovely keepsake for future generations too.
Thank you!
You make that look so easy
Thank you. Now it seems too difficult for me, I’m not a wizard with sewing with the machine but I’ll watch your tutorials and hope to learn
I love your tutorials. They are easy to follow and very informative. Thank you Elizabeth all the way from Texas!!
Thank you! I am in Australia, but have relatives in Texas, lovely to hear from you!
@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 Hello!! I would love the pattern to the casserole carrier. I have tried looking for it and cannot find it. Where can I purchase it?
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Karon 😁
Snowmen are my favorite ⛄️☃️
They are great for children at Christmas or just in winter! 😁
Just beautiful work. I love this pillow. Thank-you.
Thank you for your kind words. ❤️
Where did you get that fabric?😊
Hi Tina, The Fabric I bought from a Spotlight store. It is called Rainbow Galaxy, No. 9330458365675
Thank you for telling your story. In my little corner of America, I hadn’t heard of what encephalitis did to a survivors. I didn’t even know there were survivors.I had only heard it hit children the hardest and they rarely survived. There was an awareness after hurricanes because of the mosquito population surge but it sort of fizzled out after that. Anyways, thank you for speaking up and providing this lovely tangible remembrance of those who helped you along the way of recovery. I love your tutorials.
Thank you for your kind words. At the time I had it, I was one of very few survivors globally, and no treatment was available. No MRI's etc. But my cameraman, husband, was my carer. He did a great job, with our two very small children at the time, raising them for quite a few years. I am glad you enjoy the tutorials, it's so worth the effort when people respond as you have.
Awesome, love the tutorial too❤
Thank you!
There isn't any info on the length of binding needed. Just a width of 2 1/2" strips. What length is needed??
Thank you for your message. All measurements and lengths to be cut are on the pattern, which is in my Etsy shop. Kind regards, Elizabeth
@@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 there’s a width measurement but not how much is needed as far as length. And nothing is mentioned in the video. That’s where I’m confused
@@ckb81 If you refer to your pattern, you will see that I state the amount of fabric required, and then you can follow the cutting instructions, on page 2. hope this is of help to you.
@@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 all it says is “2 1/2” strips for binding across fabric” so it doesn’t say exactly. Is it just one strip across a 45” fabric? Is more needed? Multiple strips? It’s not clear. Most pattern instructions give a clear amount. I guess I will figure it out when I get to that point.
@@ckb81 I apologise for not making it absolutely clear to you. Across the fabric is your normal fabric width of 45". You will need to cut 3 strips of 2 1/2" width, totalling 135". This is more than sufficient for your binding. Thank you for pointing this out, I appreciate feedback, and do my best to make the patterns easy to follow. If there is anything else I can help you with, don't hesitate to get back to me.
Those are gorgeous! What a unique and wonderful way to pass those down to your children and grandchildren.
Could you please also include the measurements of making the Tote Bag for Rulers.
All the measurements for the bag and pockets are in the pattern, which is available in my Etsy Shop - the link is in the description above. Hope this is of help to you.
Would you be able to show us the other way please?
There are a few ways to make these, but I will look into this for you, and hope to do another video.
Absolutely lovely ! Lucky the one who gets it 😊
Thank you, I really loved making this one! I had intended to give it to a friend of my daughter's, but she wanted something brighter, so didn't. So I still have it!
Thank you for your video. I love your idea of sewing the big strips FIRST and then cut them into small strips as needed. Very useful 👍
Thank you - makes life a lot easier that way!
I love what I see here. Please provide your contacts as would like to have the pattern of this peg bag..
Hello Mamas, Thank you for your comment. If you look in the description above, you will see a link to my Etsy shop. Click on the link and it will take you to my shop. Scroll through the patterns until you find the Peg Bag. You can buy the Peg Bag pattern and then it can be downloaded to your computer. There are instructions to tell you how to download the pattern on the web page. However if you have any problems downloading the pattern, please let me know and I will email a copy to you if you have a computer. I hope this will help you. Kind regards, Elizabeth.
Thank you for explaining in a simple easy to understand manner. I love the fabric. Can you share where you purchased it?
I just used off cuts for the squares, and unfortunately, I don't have the name of the other fabric now. It was from my stash which I had had for quite a while. Sorry I can't be of more help with this one.
Beautiful, I am going to make some of these as Christmas cushions for gifts. ❤
Be sure to send photos - would love to see them!
I still use these things in the way they were designed and made, but have SO many that are damaged or falling apart. This is a great idea to put those back in service. I was so pleased to find a video that is honoring the maker and upcycling in a creative and useful way. Thank you! One last thought...these are truly art pieces and you could actually frame them. They would be like doilie collages. Beautiful :)
That's a very good idea - If you do make a framed piece, be sure to let me have a picture!
My niece has done that with some of my sister's Doilies that she inherited from our Mum. I still use mine.
This is gorgeous!
Thank you, glad you like it!
You sound like my Mother n law, I do miss her.
❤❤❤❤
Thanks Karon x
What a beautiful picture of love and commitment . We need more people like you two in the world.
Just so beautiful! How I wish I had kept my mother's old doilies 😢
Love this
Thanks for making it easy to understand. I want to try making this with my granddaughter.
I would love to see it when you do make it. Lovely to hear you are teaching her. It’s not difficult, and she might enjoy all the pretty fabrics too. ❤️
I love this! I am I on a mission to “use what’s in my cupboard “. Plus I love that this project honors the beautiful work of ancestoral women !
I quite agree! They were so talented and without our modern day accessories!
So beautiful, that will be a precious heirloom for a very special recipient.
Beautiful, ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Karon 🤗
