I am planning a big family Christmas this year, because all my kids and their families will be in the same country, this doesn’t often happen, love the Santas Cheryl and awesome stitching on Harriet Colleen

My older sister who has been quilting for 30 years or more had accumulated upwards of 17 garbage bags of scraps. She is not a scrap quilter; she buys the fabrics she loves and/or specific to a quilt pattern she wants to make. She decided to donate all the scraps to a craft fair at her church. She invited me to attend the fair, and I bought 3 bags of the scraps for $2 each. I got home and thought... I will let the church know that if those don't sell, I will take them as well. I ended up with 15 bags of fabrics, mostly quilting cotton. After going through them, I found quite a number of orphan blocks, also some actual yardage and of course a TON of sizeable scraps of gorgeous fabrics of all colors and patterns. I spend many days over the next few months sorting them by color. I purchased several bins to hold all the fabric as I didn't like the idea of them living in plastic bags long term. Since that time, I have made a few charity quilts out of the scraps and have fabric for dozens and dozens more. Although she is often surprised to see what all she had put in those bags, she does not regret giving all that fabric away as it has relieved her of so much guilt for not using it. And I, the recipient love scrap quilting and using up all those beautiful fabrics to share with those that could use some warmth.

Love checking with you both, it’s always an enjoyable watch. Family.

Autumn is my favorite season. I lived in California for several years and really missed this time of year. I would go into Michaels just to see all the fall decor, pumpkins, scarecrows and all the great fall stuff.

Oh your Harriet Tubman is gorgeous Colleen and a perfect frame, your freedom piece will be perfect beside it., it’s just me and hubby, I don’t have any other family but I do wish I had someone to stitch with, I don’t know anyone else who stitches apart from my flosstube community and I’m so grateful for them.

U ladies r so talented. All the different crafts u do. It’s always nice to b with FAMILY. AUTUMN is my favorite time of year. Love going to the PUMPKIN patch with the family. Happy Stitching 🎃✂️🧵🪡❤️

I also have 2 quilting sisters that live somewhat close by. Its great to share ideas and what we are working on. My quilting friends are actually my family. My daughter is also a new quilter! I learned that one of you, not sure which one, lives in Snohomish. I live in Granite Falls, but I go to church in Snohomish and of course go to Quilting Mayhem for quilting supplies.

You are both so talented. I love your PS Santas on the 7 count. Did you use 3 threads over 1? Autumn is a great time to gather with Family.

So sorry for the loss of your friend, Coleen. Live your finishes. The Pink high heel quilt looks like it could be a challenge. Autumn is a great time for pumpkin 🎃 Your Prairie Schooler Santa’s look great, Colleen. Have a safe trip to the Attic, enjoy “shinanagins” with Anna 😃, hope nothing goes Amuk/amuck. Happy early birthday, Cheryl! 🎉, hope your family spoils you.

I have 2 in my family with a Nov. 2 birthday! Beautiful projects ladies!

Colleen how do you quit your raven quilts you make. I can’t decide how to do mine. Thanks for all you and your sister do for the community.

I love Autumn 🍂 but this season has already started going amuk, amuk, amuk with pumpkin s everywhere!

Love your flosstube. The quilts are inspiring and the stitching sends me to Etsy and online shopping. Would love to meet you someday at acorns and threads. Can’t wait to see your prairie Santa as a pillow. I have stitched them on 14 count so I’m interested in the 7 count as a pillow. Family

Can you please let me know who the designer is of the “I m not arguing, just explaining why I’m right? So appropriate with my family. Love the socks in the thumbnail. You ladies have been very busy. Nice selection of sewing, quilting,cross stitch.

Great projects. Sorry to hear about friends passing. Have fun at The Attic Cheryl, don't get into any trouble with Anna! 😅 Love that high heal quilt Colleen. Family, amuk. Marilyn

My family has run amuck amuk during pumpkin season

Autumn is here and the pumpkin patch has gone amuk thanks for another great video!
