Thank you for all you do!
Such elegant and elevated quilts!
Thanks for sharing the quilt display with us...they have some great examples of historic quilts!
Gorgeous
When you show your quilts I always go WOW!!!! But when you showed us the Christmas one I did go HUH!!!!
Hello from ohio
Hello from ohio
Hello from ohio
When I first started quilting it was so frustrating. I thought I had to be perfect. Thank you for telling us all we don't have to be.
Thank you for sharing the clip from the ROM. I was amazed by the work.
Hi IQ. What is the name of the Monsters. All I could remember is “Atlantic “
The group on Facebook is Atlantic Coast Embroiders but this pattern is not available to those that are not members and may only be available if you buy the original sewing machine pattern and are at the fall Sew Along- you would need to contact the moderator Kim of the group to find out the details.
Atlantic Coast Embroidery
Hi Stephen, love the monster quilt, but to be honest I don't know which I like more, your quilts or your fabulous shirts, lol
❤️
Beautiful Halloween quilt, not so much the Christmas Mess
I like xmas quilt. xx
Steven, it is beautiful, Never thought putting colours like this together, well done. xxxx
Love the first one
love the Halloween quilt Steven.
I love your opening!
Thanks, Steven, for the pop up on Saturday. I sewed and listened to the chatter. It was great!! As I pieced the border for my Christmas quilt, you kept me focused!!
Thanks for the shout out! That Halloween quilt is Happy Halloween by Amy Bradley Designs and it's actually missing the words block that made it the correct size. I like your embellishments of the pumpkins and bats to even it out. BTW, I'm not a Brother Ambassador. I don't work for Brother but I love their products. Thanks again. :) ~Becky Thompson, Power Tools With Thread
Sorry Becky- I thought you were a Brother Ambassador; thanks for clearing that up. Your videos are great but i don't own any Brother products so a lot of your techniques I cannot access for my Janome machines. I do admire your work however.
Good morning/evening Steven. very cold night here lol, Like you quilts.
Halloween quilt is beautiful
I really like that one
Good morning Steven
Your shirt,Steven, is very nice looking on you
Thank you- very nice of you to say so (but it comes from Walter's talent with fabric and thread!).
Love listening to you both. Walter cracks me up.
You're the third person in the last month to tell me about stomach issues after cholesterol med changes
Always take those machine operations lessons after the purchase from the dealer and go through the manual page by page at home. I cannot tell you how many times students will tell me they never knew something about their machine that was explained in the manual if they read it.
I have an old Bernina serger that I use only for serging the raw edges of fabric before I prewash. I feel using the serger for that purpose saves wear and tear on my expensive sewing machine. I use a fairly long stitch length and just a three thread overlock to save thread. The following is not a criticism; it’s a serious question because I have little serger experience. Why did you use such a short stitch length? Is that the length recommended by the pattern?
Simple reason I didn’t think about that until after the fact lol
CQA show is in Toronto next year, could you pull off entering a group quilt?
I don’t know what you mean by a group quilt and no I could not pull that off.
More trouble than it’s worth. I agree…stick with the domestic machine and what you are comfortable with.
I might even say that your quilt might be considered abstract (maybe). It makes me look at it in different ways and I can see different patterns in it. I do like the jelly roll fabrics that you used! I like your honesty after you have tried something new! Thank you!
I’d redo the binding but that’s me! You are correct in feeling the way you do!
Despite your challenges with the serger, the quilt looks great on the video. It was a difficult pattern to match I have had troubles threading my Baby Lock Imagine.
Watching replay Steven, Wow great interview with Cole, really love his artist work. Thanks for sharing.
A serger with differential feed may have helped your layers to feed more evenly! Differential feed works kind of like a walking foot!
My Serger does have a differential feed but I have never really used it- I will have to investigate that feature further - thanks for the tip.
I think you tried to be very fair with your comments about using your serger to make a quilt.
Would make a nice quilt to use for a picnic
The Sewing Studio is one of my local quilt stores! I’ve never tried to quilt with my serger.
thx
Yay...sew day!
What a great interview Steven! Cole is a talented and fascinating quilter.
LOL! I have a bottle of Konzelmann Vidal Icewine 2004 that I found at the back of my fridge when I had to get a new one. it had rolled off the back if the shelf and stuck behind the veg bin! We had been wondering for almost 20 years what I did with it! Now I am going to open it and drink it!!!
😂😂😂
I love the Plaid Sheep!
Lot of condos have rules that you have to keep your car in the garage if you only have one
Pardon me for being dumb, I am not a seasoned UA-cam user. How do I find "show notes"??
Bow the video in the description box you will see the word more - just click on that
@@theidiotquilter If I would have known you were in my area, I would have stalked you! Not really, well maybe. I am not surprised that you don't like American wine if you used Put-In-Bay as the standard LOL! btw it is pronounced BER-lin. Emphasis is on the first syllable. I can't wait to see if you visited my favorite places!
Hi, I met a very nice lady at the Dunnville Quilt show a few months back, the name of her store is Nesting Ground, Wainfleet Ontario. I thought she had some very nice fabric. Mummers, are where people dress up and go around to their neighbours houses for a kitchen party, they play music and get drunk. A lot of fun, the children would go around at Christmas to get candy, cake, etc. It was called Jannin" (I think that's the correct spelling) Hope that helps.
Exactly so! Mummering is an old European tradition that continued much later in Newfoundland due to its isolation. Archivists and enthusiasts for the culture have created a resurgence in the tradition, which happens around Christmastime. People dress to disguise themselves and to amuse their hosts, wearing underwear on the outside and lots of padding on the inside and genderbending in all directions, cutting holes in old pillowcases to use as masks. They travel house to house and sing and carouse while the hosts try (not too hard) to guess who they might be. Nowadays there are workshops on creating an Ugly stick or a hobby horse as accessories, and on making a costume out of old clothing and whatnot. Then, at least in St. John's, there's a Mummer's Parade mostly for the kids.
I think your quilt turned out beautiful! I agree it looks long and skinny but you addressed that well. The custom quilting really adds a lot.
