I taught a crochet club for 4th and 5th graders. Parents loved how it raised their self esteem. I would have loved to teach them to machine sew. I think they need to bring home economics or fiber arts back to high school curriculum.
We did home economics and learned to sew. I never stopped and am still sewing 50 years later. We get lots of rain here in Scotland and having a good hobby keeps you sane.
My daughter is a fourth generation Home Economics teacher, now called Family and Consumer Science. She teaches 6th, 7th and 8th grades and teaches quilting in all of her sewing classes. Love that she is teaching the next generation of quilters!
Always enjoy the triple play. I worked in a K-12 school library for 29 years and had read The Quiltmaker's Gift to a 4th grade class. They wanted to make a quilt for a hospitalized classmate. I cut the 3 inch squares of various fabrics and colors. They each chose 9 for a 9 patch block. I have a collection of old black head Singers, a handcrank, featherweight, 99s, 15s, variety of others. I set the machines (6) up on the library tables on the elementary side. The class came before their lunchtime. On the whole most did ok sewing. But, the guys in the class came back after a quick lunch and "unsewed" some of theirs to resew. They were more picky than the gals. A most rewarding time in the library.
OMGGG OMGGG! I am the Studio Director for the Creativity Shell. Thank you so much for sharing our fabric with with everyone!! The quilts look so amazing!
Just a few minutes in and already I want to thank you for talking about mental health for young people because it’s reached crisis level in our country as the pandemic slowly winds down. Public schools in our area do offer something similar to what used to be called home ec-it’s now called family and consumer science. And they do offer a clothing design course, but I don’t think it extends to quilting. (I teach English so it’s not my area so I could be wrong) I have always wanted to explore the potential interest in offering quilting as a club at the high school level, but was always too exhausted by my regular duties. I’ll be retiring after this year so maybe I’ll be a volunteer. 😄
Thank you Jenny for taking the time to show us the magic of how the 2 1/2 inch yellow strips unfolded came out. So then when Natalie lined up the yellow strips, and cut them into 2 1/2 inch triangle blocks it made sense. I loved all three quilts. Thanks for showing us this Jacob's latter block.
All of these quilts are so beautiful but Misty's quilt is such a great blend of modern & traditional, the fabrics used look amazing in a Jacob's ladder quilt. I also love the way she alternated the center squares to get the chain affect through the quilt. Thank You so much for sharing Your creativity & knowledge with us every week. Love all of Your tutorials :)
I have made each of our grandchildren a quilt for graduation. Made the Jacob's Ladder quilt for my oldest grandson, Jacob, using the Missouri Star pattern. It is 96 by 104. It turned out great with Jenny's help. Always look forward to triple play and I love each of your quilts.
I love that the company is doing this for young people! I can't believe there is no home economics in school any longer!! Thanks for everything you ladies do and do well!
Good evening lovely ladies, WOW Natalie, you look so pretty with your new haircut and freshen up colour, it so brightens up your bonny face, making your eyes sparkle, Jenny you have two bonny girls standing beside you. I loved how ordered Misty's quilt was in colour and layout, although Jenny's star style was lovely, if a bit busy for my eyes and brain. Nat, i loved your reasoning behind your bright, cheerful yellow quilt having been brought up doing crafts literally almost before i could walk. My lovely Mum, was a crafter by necessity because she didn't keep well to be able to work when we were small, and not have very much of a wage coming in even with my Daddy working all hours he could. With her brilliant hands and brain taught me to never be afraid to try and so i am a multi crafter and enjoy so many crafts and now because of you and another talented lady on CZcams, i am trying my hand at making a quilt. Learning sewing is a life skill that we all need to help bring our planet back to thrive instead of being just one big dustbin of rubbish. Teaching children crafts breaks out their imagination that they never knew that they had and sets their little minds growing and being able to conquer many things because they learned how to use their imagination to start with. My brother's friend, who used to make life impossible for me when we were at school, now wants me to teach her some of the things that come to me naturally, but she had never attempted. She is now learning how to sew buttons on cardigans, shirts, trousers, etc, things she would just throw them away and buy new. It's funny how i new feel useful after so many years of being the odd ball amongst everyone that was "normal". Thank you ladies for sharing both your love of sewing and for bringing twists on patterns that have come through the ages. Jenny i would be like you in having a rummage through the thrift shops, it's amazing what you can pick up, although some times i can't understand why someone would throw these things away. Have a wonderful evening girls and see you again soon on our screens, crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil Village, Scotland
OK - Misty’s quilt is also beautiful and totally out,of my color box as I don’t usually use such light fabrics. But - this line looks great and another super color choice for teaching me this over 43-years of quilting person ( I learned way back in the hand piecing only time)! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so very much! Jacob's Ladder has always been a favourite of mine. Now with your shortcuts any fear is gone. I can hardly wait to pull fabrics all 3 variations.
Jacobs ladder was the first pattern I ever made. On a whim I booked a quilting class to make a quillow. Here I am 20+ years later, still hooked on quilting. I'll definitely make one of these.
All my family members have at least one pet in the house, not to mention my two adorable grandchildren! So no one wants a quilt with a pale background. I have to plan quilts that will not be spoiled by a little smear of dirt, because I want my quilts to be used now, not after I am dead. So a good multi-color, with darks and brights predominating has become my grandma style of quilting.
Eunice from Inverloch Victoria Australia: The most consistent thing I gain every time I watch your "Triple Play" is three beautiful women loving and respecting and enjoying their relationship 😀 ❤
Yay, Triple play. I wish they would bring home economics back in school. I loved it back when I was in school. It always feels like an extra special day when I get to see triple play. You ladies are amazing and special to my heart. Thank you for triple play.
Three more beautiful quilts. I have not ever made a Jacob's Ladder quilt and did not really know much about the design. Now I do and now one more quilt added to my todo list. Thanks ladies!
LoveTriple Plays. Decisions hard, but I think I really loveJennys,as the different layouts, especially with the black, really appeals. But all are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing 🥰🇦🇺
I really like Misty’s quilt. It looks so elegant! These quilts all look like they would really take a long time to make, but with the short cuts they have shown us on the 4 patch and hst’s, it makes it so much quicker
When children feel successful at anything, making something, help them feel love, for themselves and a quilt. It has to start somewhere, great job Natalie.
Amen! Honestly I feel the same way as an adult - creating something, especially with peaceful chain piecing, and then feeling accomplished when it's done (even though it's never perfect) does WONDERS for maintaining my mental health 🧘♀️
As Lawrence Welk would say, "Wonderful, wonderful... Always creative, unique and entertraining. Thanks for sharing your ideas, shortcuts and humor. Blessings to y'all.
Love them all. Jenny, yours has almost a secondary large star pattern. ...ha ha,I posted my comment about the secondary star pattern before I watched the video.
I just made a variation of Jacob's Ladder for a niece and her husband. They are expecting their 1st baby in July. She LOVES the quilt I made! And of the 3 made in this tutorial, Misty's has my vote. I love it! I also love the soft colors she used.
Love all the quilts, but Natalie’s really makes me smile. It is so bright and cheerful. I would never consider using such a bright yellow for the background, but it is perfect! I made a Jacob’sLadder as one of my first large quilts. I made it in calm colors as I was giving it to a person who had just had surgery. I bought the fabric on line, and didn’t realize I bought a half yard bundle. I had over 15 yards of this fabric, and made multiple quilts with it. After 5 years, I have just a few small pieces left. Thanks for such great versions of this very versatile block. They were all beautiful.
This is one of my favorite Triple Play Tutorials! You girls are hitting it out of the park! My daughter has adopted two foster daughters. And Me, Grammy, has helped them sew bedding for the dolls, make biscuits, and crack eggs! They are becoming more confident as they learn new skills!
Thank you for the tips. I love all 3 of you. Putting 4 blocks together is easier on people with back or neck issues to work with a smaller section. The. The strain is minimal when putting it together at the end.
Just now able to closely watch this video. Natalie! Good to see you and what a great quilt!!! Thank you ladies for all your work and sharing with us ❤️
I think you ladies hit a home run again! I also think you have dream jobs! You don’t have to make room for all your fabrics and notions at home. I doubt that you have to order supplies! 😁 The hardest part is choosing which fabric you want to work with. Thank you all for sharing your ideas and talents with us! Thank you, Jenny, for sharing your love of quilting with your family and all of us! We love all of you!
Jenny, I am also left-handed and I too get messed up putting them together. I am a beginner quilter (because of covid), so I am ripping seams all the time. I am very fortunate to have had two grandmothers-in-law, that took their time to show me how to quilt and that was many years ago. When I was not able to work because of Covid, I decided to start quilting. I am very artistic and make my own jewelry and figurines, so this is another chapter in my life and I love it. I am making the disappearing hour glass quilt out of the Buzzworthty fabric.
Love them all! In a rare moment, I could definitely see myself making each version, with a different fabric collection, which would make them all look totally different. Thanks, Natalie, Jenny, Misty & MSQC Team!!!
I can't tell you enough that I'm glad others don't get too hung up on the seams either. Girl, I'm all about getting that quilt made and don't sweat one tiny seam!
I taught a crochet club for 4th and 5th graders. Parents loved how it raised their self esteem. I would have loved to teach them to machine sew. I think they need to bring home economics or fiber arts back to high school curriculum.

I love triple play! It should be a national holiday....
OMGGG OMGGG!

You girls are all so smart.
I just love you ladies and triple play Fridays! Thank you.

I loved all three quilts.
Thanks for showing us this Jacob's latter block.
I love Jenny's quilt! I am a lover of stars.
Love Mistys option, think it I would make it white teamed with blue/white floral to make a lovely fresh, light an airy look.
My favorite was quilt #3, except I wouldn’t use a flowered print. Very cool 😎
I just love Triple Play Day! All there are amazing. My favorite is Misty's quilt.
I love this 1st quilt. It reminds me of fish swimming in both directions.
All of these quilts are so beautiful but Misty's quilt is such a great blend of modern & traditional, the fabrics used look amazing in a Jacob's ladder quilt.

I am always so amazed at how different the same block is used to create beautiful different quilts. Love triple play and love MSQC!
Great triple play.
Natalie looks great and Love her nails!! great job all.
Beautiful quilts! And Natalie's hair style is very attractive!
Very cool tutorial. I did laugh at myself a couple of times when I said out loud, “Both sides!” when they kept saying “either side of the line”! 🤭
I did the same thing😂
I do the same thing.
Sew true how sewing mends the soul. Great patterns, Thank you!
Natalie, I just bought material from that line, creativity glows. It glows in the dark!
OK - Misty’s quilt is also beautiful and totally out,of my color box as I don’t usually use such light fabrics. But - this line looks great and another super color choice for teaching me this over 43-years of quilting person ( I learned way back in the hand piecing only time)! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!
Verynfun to see the same pattern turned in different layouts and different color ways as well. Thanks for couple great tips and great tutorial 🧵🪡
Love seeing Triple Play!
Triple Play, Yay! Great Job Girls!!! I Love All Three. Have a wonderful weekend, 🥰 Chris
love these triple plays!
I always look forward to the Triple Play day. Misty's quilt is my favorite this time.
I like the speedy techniques shown in this video. As long as there is no BIAS cuts ( bias is my personal enemy) it really helps to sew up my blocks.
I love the triple plays!
Stunning! Love Triple Play days 🥰
Thank you so very much! Jacob's Ladder has always been a favourite of mine. Now with your shortcuts any fear is gone. I can hardly wait to pull fabrics all 3 variations.
Jacobs ladder was the first pattern I ever made. On a whim I booked a quilting class to make a quillow. Here I am 20+ years later, still hooked on quilting. I'll definitely make one of these.
Misty is the winner for me this month. I love watching the quilts each of you makes for the triple play episodes. Thank you for all the great ideas!
I love yellow, Natalie your quilt is definitely my choice.
Loved all three! Thank you Jenny for doing a dark background quilt. Both stars are beautiful. I can't wait to do all three versions.
All my family members have at least one pet in the house, not to mention my two adorable grandchildren! So no one wants a quilt with a pale background. I have to plan quilts that will not be spoiled by a little smear of dirt, because I want my quilts to be used now, not after I am dead. So a good multi-color, with darks and brights predominating has become my grandma style of quilting.
Thank you for the triple play.
Such a fun idea. This was one of my favorites!
I love it when you share your ideas, sew very helpful to us all.
My father’s name was Jacob and I must, must make these options in honor of him. Thank you for the inspiration❤️
I love triple play but this is going to be a favorite. All 3 are striking
Love to see how each of you use the same block with such variety. Beautiful!
Eunice from Inverloch Victoria Australia: The most consistent thing I gain every time I watch your "Triple Play" is three beautiful women loving and respecting and enjoying their relationship 😀 ❤

Great color on your nails, Natalie!!!!!😄😄😄. And Jenny, I love the black.
Love all the quilts! Thanks so much for sharing!
Three more beautiful quilts. I have not ever made a Jacob's Ladder quilt and did not really know much about the design. Now I do and now one more quilt added to my todo list. Thanks ladies!

Watching you three ladies interact and share tips is a highlight of every triple play. The quilts are great too.😉 Thank you for all you do!

I love, love, love the Triple Play - and I appreciate Missouri Star Quilt Company!! Thank you!
I love all three of these, they are different but use the same squares. Thank you.
Thank you for another triple play. Love all three. Hope to see another triple play book with this years quilts.

Watching 3 different ways patches are put together is so inspiring.
Thank you for the tips. I love all 3 of you.

Love them all
I always enjoy triple play the different ideas each of you have for the same pattern. All three quilts are beautiful.
Yay!! Triple play day!!
Triple play is the best. Thanks. 🌺
It's funny, I pulled my Missouri Star Jacob's ladder quilt pattern two days ago to make another quilt. this was fun.
Natalie "I'm a big fan of communication." haha..Cracked me up. I agree!
Just now able to closely watch this video. Natalie! Good to see you and what a great quilt!!! Thank you ladies for all your work and sharing with us ❤️
Thank you all! LOVE all of the videos!!!!!! ❤️
Wow! Beautiful!!
I love your triple plays ladies. Keep em coming
I love all three quilts! I really look forward to these tutorials. Thank you!
Love love love all these quilts! Triple play is by far my favorite quilting video to watch! Thank you for sharing!
Yayyy…Triple Play! Y’all are the best!!
No favorites this time. I LOVED them all equally ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for another great tut.
look forward to watching you every Friday morning - all 3 quilts are beautiful - love taking an old pattern and adding a new twist - thank you!
All 3 quilts are beautiful! I can't decide which I like the best! Great video MSQ!
Thank you! I’m excited to hear of Creativity Shell. What a great organization! These were all awesome! No favorite this time which is rare.
Love all three quilts with the new tips. Love daughters and mother
I think you ladies hit a home run again! I also think you have dream jobs! You don’t have to make room for all your fabrics and notions at home.

loved all three quilts today. great job ladies. so pretty ♥️
I wish you would also list actual yardage for those who don't use precuts as well as doing different sizes
A layer cake contains almost 3 yards of fabric. So, you would need 3 yards of fabric if ur using yardage.
Love the quilt Natalie, especially the backing. If you used this as a picnic quilt, it wouldn’t show the grass stains. Cool.
Jenny, I am also left-handed and I too get messed up putting them together. I am a beginner quilter (because of covid), so I am ripping seams all the time.
