Stitching is a big part of my life and I am blessed that my husband supports my habit. If there is a needle involved (non-hypodermic), chances are good that it's one of my hobbies.
Cindy, so glad you are back. Both of you. I have looked for a new flosstube several times. Have fun on your trip. I sure wish you had room for me. Enjoy.
Thank you for that info. Everything was closed by the time we got to Hayes but I’ll remember your suggestions for the next time. We are falling in love with the west. I’m sure we will be returning.
Susan, I did not. Would you believe I gave my Cricut to my daughter in law and if I miss it a lot, I think I’ll buy another. I should have started using it from the get go for this quilt.
If you take I 70 through Kansas there is a quilt shop in Hayes Ks. In McPherson ks there is a new cross stitch store and a quilt store.. There is a quilt store in Minneapolis Ks. I live in Salina ks and use to quilt. Now I just do cross stitch. I made a grandmother's flower garden quilt. Sewing them together was great while traveling. Hope you have a great trip!
Happy travels. I was so glad I got to meet you while I was shopping at Sew Sweet Quilt shop in Brunswick. Stop at Colour and Cotton in St Louis if you’ve never been, it’s a great shop. I’m fortunate to call it my LNS.
You are fortunate! It was so nice meeting you too! Every time we go by St Louis Color and Cotton is closed. I’ll keep trying. Loved Sew Sweet Quilt Shop!
Place a folded towel on your ironing surface. Place your cross stitch piece WRONG side up and press from the back! Buttons will sink into toweling and be cushioned while the background remains flat for perfect pressing! Good luck. Have a great adventure. Good to see you back!
Thank you for another fun video. I’m going to try the EPP idea from Diane. I liked getting to see the demonstration. You have so many cute projects to keep you busy on this trip. Have fun and safe travels. ❤
Your trip sounds FANTASTIC! Last year my husband had I did a 30-day (7000 mile) road trip - Started in Sacramento, Ca…went through northern Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, southern Nevada, then home. My husband was pretty tentative about it as I made the plans, but during and after he’s sung its praises! We stayed in hotels; your way sounds much more fun!!! Safe travels!
Wow!!! You hit everything! We are loving every minute so far. No big hiccups yet. We just crossed into Idaho from Utah. Every state offers its own uniqueness. Love your comment. Thank you!
Sounds like a great adventure Cindy!!! I was sooooo happy to hear that you are running across older camping ladies in their 60's and 70's. When I retire in 3 years, I plan on buying my dream tiny camper and using it to do nothing but camp at retreats across the country instead of staying in hotels. My hubby says I'm nuts because I act like I'm 30 and not 60 but as long as I'm healthy, I'm gonna make it happen!! Safe travels and I'll definitely be watching! Hugs from NE Ohio.
Oh, I encourage you 100%! You will have a ball! That’s what we did for the Primitive Gatherings retreat. It’s a great way to see the country plus you save money and then you can spend more of stitchy stuff! Thank you for always being loyal to this channel. Means so much!
Paula, you are so right! We ended up not being able to stay another day to go on Thursday. The drive from our campsite was just too far away to go on Wednesday night. But, we’ve gone to some other places that have been fantastic and will highlight in the next video. Please stay tuned and I hope you enjoy! ❤
Oh thank you so much! I’m glad to be back. Life was just too hectic and something had to give. Hopefully, we will offer things that others will enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to watch. Means a lot! ❤
Do you have a link for the glue bottle with the needle nose tip? I glue baste a lot and would love a smaller tip for my glue bottles. Love the french seams idea, I make project bags a lot and plan to incorporate this tip!
Thank You! I'm taking mine to a retreat in a couple weeks. They are just so darn cute and mine sews like a champ! You know a lot more about yours than I do. Makes me want to do some research.
Hi Cindy, I am new to sewing and have tried my hand at your project bag tutorial. I was wondering if you can go into more detail regarding the lace zipper and how to line it up correctly and how to sew it in place. I am one of those people that need closer visuals since I am so new to sewing. I do want to try making the project bag again😊
I will sure try to answer your questions. I always try to place my needle to sew in the holes of the fancy zipper. Check that there is room to open the teeth of the zipper before you begin to sew. Make sure your zipper is at least an inch and a half longer on each side. That way, you don't have to stress that you'll run out of zipper on the sides. The bottom of the zipper is easier to sew than the top because its a straight stitch. Another reason a longer zipper is good is it gives you more room to sew the top part of the zipper to the bag. Again, position your zipper so the needle goes through the holes of the fancy zipper. I hope this helps. Good luck. With anything, practice makes you better. My first bag, I didn't "catch" the fabric on the side and had to redo it. Twice! 😁
Thanks for showing us Cranberry Bog. I recently heard of it and now i got to see all it had to offer. I will make a trip there soon. I too believe every shop needs a kitty.😊 So sorry you got tangled up with IU traffic.
I have some fabric that was gifted to me, that is already quilted with 2 coordinated colors. It will make a super easy project bag by just adding the zipper! Thank you for the great video.
Hello there. I just found your channel (episode #6), and I enjoyed it so much that I'm on my way to binge-watch all of your episodes. I love your She-shed! Now, I'm off to find episode #1 to start watching. 😊
Thanks for sharing an interesting video. I’m going to my first workshop this weekend, it’s with Jeanette Douglas 😊. We have a campervan and love going away with our three dogs. The workshop is in Cumbria in the UK and I did think about going in the van but I decided to treat myself and stay in a hotel instead.
Loved seeing your cost camper. Isn’t it nice to have a handy husband, I have one also. We have camped for years, and now have progressed to a 40 ft motor coach, which is so comfortable, but not always easy to get in certain places. We are in the Deep South, but would love to travel to see all those beautiful waterfalls! Wishing you safe and fun travels and stitching🪡🏕
Just watching,” Heritage Sewing Maxhine House Tour” on See Bromo channel from 1 year ago. At the 18 minute time there was a machine with 2 spools instead of a bobbin. Thought of your hubbies comments on how little thread is on a bobbin. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. God Bless!
Thank you very much for the tip. Drives me nuts that they still use lil bobbins! There are a few machines out there from Europe that used a seperate spool for the lower thread but they are rare.
Well I finally did it. Subscribed to your floss tube. Was great meeting you at STEEL CITY RETREAT IN PITTSBURG. Lisa & I will see you, Diane & Marsha at Stitch Con.
