Your flower blouse is absolutely STUNNING! I’ve watched your videos for years, really like most all your tops, but THIS ONE is GORGEOUS! I’m sorry you and Jerry have been sick! Seem you’re on the mend! Bravo!
I agree with you
@@beckyborgmann9815And I agree with both of you. Love it.
I work in an ER. We have a positive Covid or 2 daily. Most others that test negative are told they have a URI (upper respiratory infection or bronchitis which is fancy terminology for a cold). From what the lab experts say is that the positives are accurate. It's the home covid tests that are more questionable if they come out negative and you are having symptoms. Home tests are a different type than the PCR (DNA) type we do at the hospital. PCR's are so accurate, it can pick up covid DNA for up to 3 months. So yes, you can test positive without symptoms, but you had it in the last 3 months at some point. And Joy, you are correct - it's a much different Covid now than it was in 2020/2021. The cough can last up to 6-8 weeks. It's annoying and there is very little that can be done. Tessalon Pearles work for some and not others. It's a crap shoot. I wish we would stop testing for it other than in critically ill/comprised patients. It's a COLD. We don't get all worked up for a cold, but attach Covid to the cold and OMG some people go nuts. And the swollen things in your nose are called turbinates. Keeping your Vitamin D levels up over 50 is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Get a Vitamin D level tested every year with your annual physical. Shoot for a level of 80, but at least over 50. You have a good doctor! Sorry for the long post, just got home from work and couldn't turn off my nurse brain.
I love and appreciate your nurse brain. Yes, it is just a cold and those things are called Turbinates. I take Vitamin D with K2 (?) every day. My blood tests fine so far. My nurse daughter said the same thing you did.
I also follow 'Catherine Sews'. She is now making a bodice sloprer and she just finished making a pants pattern from her skirt sloper.
Yes she is a teacher possibly in Canada.
Welcome back Joy! We’ve missed you. So glad to hear you and Jerry are feeling better.
Love your tops. Keep the wide stripe on your floral top. The fabric is beautiful and looks great on you!
Even though I've been sewing for 60+ years, I have learned so much from Catherine Sews over the past year or so. You are right--she's awesome! However, Joy, you win when it comes to keeping us entertained and laughing!
So glad to see you again. Just looked you up yesterday to see if I was missing something. Missed you.
Please do a video of making the bathing suit. I would love for you to teach us how to sew a bathing suit. Thank you for all the things you share!
When I sew curved hems - I put the hem in before the side seams. ANOTHER TIP : I run a gathering stitch 1/2" from the hem at the curves. Adjust the gathers at the curved areas until it lays flat - press in place and then turn up the last half of the 1" hem press and voila! a perfect hem Good luck
I made the frames with Vinyl.
Your flower blouse is absolutely STUNNING! I’ve watched your videos for years, really like most all your tops, but THIS ONE is GORGEOUS! I’m sorry you and Jerry have been sick! Seem you’re on the mend! Bravo! …oh….fat stripes.
Love your blouse! Glad you are feeling better. Thank you for the video! Happy sewing!
I know there are many other youtubers out there to watch, but I so look forward to seeing yours, Joy. I learned so much and feel extra happy after seeing your videos. Please keep them coming ❤
To convert the skein to a ball (since i live alone) - I turn a four legged chair on it's back and carefully open the skein to a circle and wrap it around the two higher legs and carefully start winding into a ball. It takes patience to do it without tangles, but simple if not in a hurry. When I buy at a yarn store, I ask if they will do it on their contraption for me.
Oh my gosh that is sooooooo gorgeous and so ingenious.
I haven't been feeling too good for the last 2 months and my endocrinologist is so wonderful she told me do what I'm doing now which is more natural path because it's really helping
Feel better Joy. Blessings.
So sorry you and Jerry caught covid. Good to see you back in the videos. Prayers for full recovery
So sorry to hear you & Jerry have Covid. I love all the tops & shorts you’ve made. Beautiful fabrics.
Love your videos! I love hearing that you don’t want to take a bunch of pills! We’re better off without them and we have to be diligent to eat sensibly and stay busy. I have to make more time to sew!
I remember your cat library quilt, it was lovely !
Glad you're back! You are a whirlwind even with Covid. My two cents: I think the blouse looks better sleeve band down.
Hope you're better with each day.
Hi Joy, so glad you are feeling better! I like the blouse either way!😋
You know what that was back in the day when you used to have somebody actually hold the yarn tight why you would wind it up so if you want Jerry to do something have him hold his arms out so that he can hold the ends of the yarn tight while you make it into a ball
That’s exactly what I thought. I usually rewind pull skeins into a ball just to make life easier. Whitney on TomKat stitchery uses bias tape on curved hems instead of turning up the edge.
So sorry you have been sick Joy! No fun. But you do look pretty cute today if it’s any consolation!!! 🌸 Especially like the stripes on your sleeves. Unrolled with the fat stripes of course...
I am glad you are on the mend, I was beginning to think something had happened to Jerry given his health concerns earlier in the year. I have had Covid once and boy it knocked me about. I know families at the school where I work that have had Covid 4 and 5 times yet I have only had it once.
I agree with you on the shoulder sizes, If I get bigger I often need a bicep size bigger but never a wider shoulder.
I can not crotchet for love or money 😂 I just don't understand the stitches no matter how many CZcams tutorials I watch.
I hope you and Jerry rest up and feel much better real soon 😊
So glad you are back. Sorry you were both sick.
Love the fabric and pattern, looks really good on you 👍
Love your beautiful top! So pretty. I have had long covid since Oct. 2022. It's stupid. Can cause so much side problems. Praying for you both to have a quick recovery. Blessings
Hang in there! I hope your energy come back soon!
You sure have the gift of sewing and quilting
I use the bias lace hem binding sewn close to the edge then the lace turns up/ It can do a curved hem really well. Good to see you !
Thank you. I need to try that bias lace.
Joy, you get to choose your hem allowance. Peggy would also tell you not to use a one inch seam on the curve.
Oh joy, I hope you and Jerry feel much better very soon. Yikes, both of you sick.
I love your top! I like the sleeves down with the big strips 🙂
Happy to see you are back making videos. Really like your new blouse and fabric choice. Is there a pattern for the kitty quilt by any chance?
The pattern for the cat quilt is called "Purrfect Library".
Love that black and floral blouse! Well- love them all ! Always good to see you.
Cat quilt is extraordinary. Such a gift you have!
Joy, your cat quilt is so beautiful 😻 I love your flower top❤ glad you feel better, take care of yourself 😊
Joy, I figured the You Tube you were describing might be Catherine Sews. I tell you, she put out a video entitled "The Perfect Pocket for Beginners" that I was all over and will use that method to make pockets on pants from now on. Makes adding pockets very easy.
I will check it out.
Love your new tops. Yes, Catherine Sews is great sewing/upcycling channel. I do enjoy watching her channel also. Hope you get to feeling better soon.
Joy! I just love the cat quilt. You are a wonderful friend to Viv… maybe too good! And even more precious to the cat kingdom because you made such amazing tribute quilts to your cats despite feeling luke-warm about cats! I AM IN AWE!
Thank you. I really did love our cats, but I don't sleep with them or have a cat box in the house. Ours were always in at night in the garage in their cat area full of toys and climbing things.
I love that top you are wearing! Missed you, so glad you are almost over Covid. Feel better! ❤
As you now know us “oldies” take twice as long to recover. SEW ON!
Oh, boy…I’ve commented several times and now you show up wearing Peggy Sagers pattern in blue and white V-neck, short-sleeved top (in front of mirror and sailboat quilt). This one beautiful on you! So flattering!
I always hem my curved hem tops before I sew the side seams together. It’s so much easier.
THANK YOU Gloria. I took the side seams apart and did exactly that. WONDERFUL!!!
Hi joy .sweetheart..Sorry to hear you had covid. lovely video. Hope jerry ok . Sending you both loads and loads of love . xxxx
I am happy to see you. ❤
So glad you and Jerry are doing better. I sure hope COVID is not making a comeback; I've heard of so many people getting it lately. I've enjoyed watching your videos for years now, both for the quilts and garments. You are blessed to have such great spaces to enjoy your crafting. Thanks for sharing your life through threads and fabric with us.
Your cat quilt is awesome totally beautiful… this quilt is so adorable I am not a fan of cats but this quilt of cats … I would want one for me❤
Oh joy I truly enjoy watching you in here creations you have me laughing so much I am cracking up😅 keep up the good work I enjoy seeing all your beautiful blouses and material that you bought ❣️✂️🪡🧵❤️💖💗
Howdy, I love the new tops. When you held up the grey or blue triangle fabric, I was not sure if I would have bought it. Then you made the top & I love it. I do love the pattern. Thank you for sharing your time with me. I love the stories. So happy ya'll are feeling better.
Joy, you are a hoot and my day is always better when I open up You Tube and you are there with a new blog. Sorry you have not been feeling well. I was wondering if in your next video you could show how you take that tuck in a sleeve to tame down the size. Thank you for keeping the videos coming. That cat quilt is something else!!
Love, love, love the new top. I would wear that in a heartbeat. Like the fat stripe down. Praying you feel better soon. Love that blue quilt behind you. Cat quilt is really cute. My daughter would love it.
Hey Miss Joy, great to see you! Love all your tops that you’ve made! You and Mr Jerry please take care! God bless y’all! 😀❤️🙏🏻
I suggest you make the mountain a darker brownish grey and the "snow" only on the very top.
Thanks. The problem is fabric larger than a precut.
Great to see you today! 👍❤️😎
It’s always a joy to see you Joy, I hope you’re feeling much better. Your makes are beautiful and the cat quilt is a work of art, just beautiful! My husband likes his tv programmes so I watch You Tube on my iPad with my ear pods in, it works for us lol.
Good to see Joy back in MY life. The color of the new knit is Dark Raspberry (reference: a color palette chart) it is a pretty color.
That is a perfect name for that color.
Fun video! Thanks!! I’m so glad to hear that you’re spending time with Phylly!💕
Love that new top you have on. The print placement is just perfect! In years past I knit and crocheted some. Have always wound yarn into a ball in my hand, then round and round the yarn onto the ball of yarn you're making, 'til you're done with the skein. Easy-peasy. No contraption needed. I wouldn't waste my money or space for that contraption. The sleeves either way is good, but I prefer them down. I really really love the mountains you made and also with the snow. I suggest you make a couple more same or similar and overlap them across the width of the quilt, the way mountains actually look. It will be stunning. You should be able to watch what ever TV channel you want on your computer. You just have to figure out what stations they are broadcasting on and then access that. That's where I watch. All our local San Antonio stations can be found on You Tube.
I love the new blouses!!!! They fit you perfectly. You just need local tv so just get an antenna and then do a search on your tv and you will get quite a few channels, like old westerns, and other really old shows but then you will get all of the local channels. It's free. Sure hope you feel better soon, i really miss you.😉
Joy I love ❤️ that blouse, love the blue it's lovely
Definitely you should make it again
Always enjoy your videos
Thanks for taking time to share with us
Take care
very accomplished, Joy. Your quilts are just gorgeous and so personal, too. Its a joy to see your work.
Hey Joy😊
Love both your blouses. The blue one looks especially lovely on you. I like the sleeves down with the wide strip better. It looks very pretty on you also. Thanks for sharing.
I love your new top. The fuchsia fabric looks like cranberry to me. I like the sleeve down. I saw the blue Peggy fabric and loved it. The blouse is terrific.
So nice to see you again Joy. Both tops today are really nice. Looking forward to seeing you again…soon…I hope!
Have you thought about hemming the top with bias binding. Works great for curved hems
I loved the blouse you made using Peggy Sager's pattern. I do have that pattern and had forgotten about it. I will pull out some fabric for it and make it this weekend. You always inspire me to sew, quilt, and crochet. A friend told me Babylock is coming out with a new top-of-the-line sewing & embroidery machine in August with a price tag of $30K!! I can't wait to see it!
The new machine is called "Radiance". I love the name. SURELY, it can't be $30K!
Love the top! Has my favorite colors. I would three thread overlock the hem edge and stitch witchery a narrow hem. Then top stitch the hem with a regular machine stitch. The stitch witchery stabilizes the hem. Glad you are back!
I am so sorry that you, and Jerry got Covid! You look great by the way! I can't believe that you are running around, doing anything! I would be in bed! I love the gray and white top, that you just made! You are simply amazing!
Happy to hear that you are recovering from Covid. I love that blouse that you showed with the coordinating pants. I also like to use Kona for my pants and shorts; I'm fortunate that my local fabric store carries a wide range of Kona colors, but I do have the color swatch.
Love the Cat Library quilt, I'm still on the third block I think, it's been put aside while I've been sewing other patchworks ❤
I'm so THANKFUL you and Jerry are doing well and on the mend ❤
You look beautiful! I prefer the wider stripes. That top is gorgeous!!! Glad you’re feeling better. Praying for your full recovery!❤
Good morning, Joy, I like your cat quilt. You sure put a lot of thought into it! Get well soon.
Oooo…pretty, pretty placemats! Tan binding is perfect, too.
Continue to feel better. I'm sorry you and Jerry caught Covid.
❤❤❤
Glad you are on the mend. Prayers for you and Jerry. Love that blouse.
JOY that blouse you have on in the beginning of the video is gorgeous on you. You look so pretty in that outfit. The blouse and black pants were lovely. And I love the cuff down. I loved the blue and white blouse with your jeans. That outfit was perfect on you. I’m so sorry y’all had Co-Vid. I thought that was all over with. But my daughter & her husband got it also. This strain of the sickness is different and when you said it affected your ears, it has seemed to do that to most that have gotten this strain of Co-Vid. So stay safe. Love ❤️ you JOY. So glad to see you again
All your blouses you made are gorgeous, the perfect fit.
Glad you are on the mend. Prayers for you and Jerry. Love that blouse. How about a button and tab? If you have left over material with the stripe make the tab from that. It would look high end. Just another thought. 😊
I like both, too. The pretty blouse( dc'd) looks real nice on you.
Wow Joy! I love that top you have on! And I prefer it with the wider stripes on the sleeves (rolled down), since you asked.😉 That blue and white print top is really cute on you too, fits you so well and the tuck in the sleeve is a nice detail that compliments the pleat in the front. I hate big wide short sleeves, they remind me of scrubs. Hope you’ll be back again soon!
I love the gray print blouse you made. It looks great on you. I love the colorful blouse with the strip edge on the sleeves.
I am glad you and Jerry are recovering from COVID.
I finally recovered from the Flirt COVID. I wear a face mask at work on the work days so no one becomes infected and this will continue for the remaining time I work outside of My home.
I enjoyed your video and I look forward to your future videos. Have a great and wonderful day!
So sorry you are not well, get well soon and please keep making videos 😘
Lynn from Australia
It’s good to see ya Joy! I love your new garments😊. It’s great you’re getting through Covid so we’ll-I was much sicker-but I survived and after about a month I got back to normal. Will be looking for your next video.
Great fabrics, you did good. Covid? Really, well tell you what I got it too, very random and have no idea where it came from, I did not have a fever, I mainly did a large amount of constant coughing, took about two weeks. Never took any medicines, but just felt very yucky for about 2 weeks! I stopped taking the vaccine after I had about 4 injections. Kitty cat quilt turned out very cute, labor of love!
So happy to see you but sorry you have Covid. I had it this past winter twice and it's not fun. Take care of yourself and get alot of rest. I also did Edyta's spring sew along but followed her directions. Love how you are going to do your mountains. Wish I could be that creative lol
Love that floral top and black pants! Rebuke covid and its symptoms in the name of Jesus! If you need a break from making videos, by all means, take the break! We'll be here when you get back.
Hello I love your videos and I look forward to watching them.i wish I knew you were doing the mystery quilt.i like to see your ideas and I agree with the mountains I like your better and you put your own spin on it.keep us informed.what are your next few projects coming up
Jerry wants me to make him a quilt with him and fish he has caught -- his boat -- etc. Don't know where to start on that.
Yay! You're back! Glad to hear you and Jerry are on the mend. Wow, you have been busy! Your tops are so pretty. Cant wait to see what you make with the material from Peggy. I really like your dining room table. Can you tell me where you found it? We are remodeling and it would fit perfectly into my new decor. Take care and God Bless y'all!
Our furniture had to be made. The Amish somewhere make furniture for a store called North Carolina Furniture Mart here in Tulsa, OK.
Love the top. Like it both ways but like the sleeves down better
Joy I love your top the fabric is beautiful I like the sleeves down and like the curved bottom I'm on a lazy mode just now but I'm hoping to get my mojo back I'll keep watching you for inspiration bless you what a weight on your shoulders lol
I never thought to use Kona for pants. Going to try it.
I love your new blouses! Hope you feel better soon. ❤
Just found your you tube this channel this week. Great. Love the top with striped trim showing. Can you share the information about your sailboat quilt love it also. Keep the videos coming please.
The sailboat quilt is a Laundry Basket Quilts pattern.
I love your snow capped mountains
I have so many crocheting videos help yourself to watching them
I didn't know you crochet or that you have pattern videos. I haven't seen ANY of your videos come up on my feed for ages.
I am not a cat person either. But that quilt is very very cute.
