Welcome to Faith and Fabric, where we'll learn new quilting techniques, grow in faith, and sew together! I'm Jen Frost, and I look forward to sharing as we stitch our way to something beautiful.
Adorable! I’m making QAYG blocks with a good quality bed sheet. So it’s lovely champagne coloured blocks with a neutral thread. Your patterns will be beautiful on these blocks.
Lisa, yeah! I'm excited to see how it turns out. I have a white top sheet that I"m planning on using for a quilt back as well :) The bottom sheet became part of a Halloween costume so this is a great way to use the top!
@@tiabramlett2378 I was just about to reply! The link to the pattern is in the video's description, but I'll post it here as well: faithandfabricdesign.com/2022/09/woodcut-blossoms-fabric.html
So glad this video popped up, i headed over and grabbed 'Good Friday'. Even though I still haven't sewn 'Silent Night' yet. Our garden season is ending and I'll miss it when the snows begin to fly. Still a few more harvests and I hope our frost will hold off a few more weeks and then I'll get the garlic in the ground. That certainly was beautiful soil where you were working!
Molly, how awesome that you'll be able to continue harvesting for a few more weeks! We are literally in the MIDDLE of a major yard transformation (I'll have to share in the next update) but once the new garden beds go in I'll be planting garlic as well. Do you plant hard or softneck variety?
I have 4 kids, all of them homeschooling, and we are missionaries in south africa, is nothing better, and our mission like mothers and wife s. I love your videos!!!
Poconos so beautiful all year, but especially so in Autumn. I love these Autumn colors. Had no difficulty finding enough shades of Fall to make a quilt with theis mountain pattern. Thanks for presenting.
Peg, yes, they are beautiful all year. Even in the early spring, when the snow is melting and there are these snow streams everywhere tricking down the rocks...so gorgeous. I look forward to seeing your blocks!
Interesting, Henrik - I actually didn't waste any fabric in making this pattern. In fact, I even showed you how *not* to waste fabric. Where, specifically, did you see fabric being wasted?
@@jessicamalley6201 Thanks, Jessica, for understanding what I meant! It's great to have projects that use up leftover (or scrap) fabrics. Happy sewing to you!
Thank you, sweetly iced! :) I've popped many a thread using thread that's probably past its expiration date, so this is a handy technique to keep in your pocket. Happy sewing to you!
Question - I am making the medium size should my blocks measure 6-1/2" prior to sewing them all together? I am ready to sew all my blocks together but wondering if I should square them up to 6-1/2 inches
Hi Linda! Great question. Yes, I would highly recommend squaring your quilt blocks to size prior to sewing them into the rows. This will make your final quilt come together that much easier, and will ensure everything lines up.
thank you. I'm gonna try this as my first sewing project. - just a note on pulling the elastic through - unless you stop me, I'm going to try it with an electrical fishing tape - should be quick and cut the time considerably.
Hi I love this pattern. I followed the link and subscribed. Can you please send me the link to for this pattern. I also reached out to you on your yahoo account.
WOOHOO!!! Paula, Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that the tutorial worked so well for you. I've had a lot of requests for this one, and it means a lot to hear that it's been so helpful!
I was so stinking proud of my son!! It was so much fun to ride with him and remember MY first rides like this. Plus...riding over the Coronado bridge was breathtaking.
I haven't compared the two. Honestly, I have no regrets with this machine. If I had to find one thing, it's the automatic needle threader which seems a bit clunky (my Brother has the best auto needle threader). Good luck with your decision!
Am I the only one coming up short when cutting down to 2-1/2 wide pieces from the long strips? Frustrating as I sew scant 1/4 inch seam but come up short.
Hi Linda! I promise the fabric measurements work. Shoot me an email at: faithandfabric <at> yahoo <dot> com and we'll talk through it. I made my version from the same kit and measurements and didn't end up short on fabric - that said, I'm happy to talk through this with you! Happy sewing!
Hi Joyce! There's a link directly to the pattern in the Show Notes, along with several other helpful links. To make it even easier, I'll attach it here for you: faithandfabricdesign.com/product/pattern-good-friday-lent-holy-week-golgotha
Use up all your scraps because you paid for the entire piece. Don't waste it. I even use fabric that weren't used in the quilt top for pieced backings. I don't care if it doesn't match the front.
Betty, YES!! Use up ALL those scraps...it's so great to not have leftovers because, as you said, you've already purchased those fabrics. Plus, I think these quilt backs are BEAUTIFUL <3
Aww, thank you! I've made two of these - one in the blues (as you saw in the video) and another with mermaids and narwhals for my niece's First Communion <3
Hi there! It totally varies based on your needs. I have one that is 36" in length, which is a great fit for the cabinet I have it sitting atop. Hope this helps!
Hi. Nice you label seams primary and secondary. ( could have used first sewn seam and second sewn seam). Good teaching strategy. Most are using this and that or this and this; that and that….who knows what they mean? Using more specific vocabulary makes for better teaching….(retired master teacher) thanks!
Hi Miric - thanks for the tips! It really does help to know proper terminology. Congrats on being a master teacher, and I appreciate your teaching on "first sewn seam" and "second sewn seam".
Hi Jeffrey! The pattern is set up by block, not by fabric :) If you start with block 1, and then sew each of the blocks, you'll end up using all the different fabrics. Let me know if you have any other questions, ok?
I’m so excited to begin the Lent/Good Friday quilt along with you next month, and hope your quilt top comes together as easily as this one did 😅 I’m pulling together the final videos for the QAL, as well as writing the weekly devotions as we explore John 3:16 in greater detail.
Brilliant!! Have been playing around with sewing a 'scrap' quilt for a while, having seen the idea on another video. BUT, your video has helped enormously, and now I feel much more confident and able to produce the effect with more random edges/angles. You explained and demonstrated so well. Thank you.🤗
Aww, Jean, I'm so glad!! This is literally my favorite technique for backs of quilts...a super scrappy strip with the tiny bits and then the rest of the fabrics making a scrappy back. I'd love to see how your quilt back turns out!
Yes, ma'am! Here's the link to the Love Notes pattern - let me know if you have any questions as you sew, ok? This link will take you to the pattern as well as the videos on how to sew: faithandfabricdesign.com/2021/01/quilt-pattern-block-love-letters-valentine.html
I'm so glad the vinegar and magic eraser are working for you! They're my go-to - especially the magic eraser. That said, my husband chided me for using the magic eraser on painted cabinets as it will eventually rub all the paint off (he's right, as it's gotten thinner in the area I frequently wash with the magic eraser). Good luck with your iron!
Hi Lorena, of course! Here's the link to the pattern and a few other details on this Love One Another quilt pattern - in the middle of the page you'll see where you put your email address in and a copy will be auto sent. Be sure to check your spam folder if you don't see it, ok? faithandfabricdesign.com/2022/09/woodcut-blossoms-fabric.html
Haha, CJ, thanks! A measure - that's a new one for me :) Appreciate you stopping by to watch the video and leave your thoughts!! Happy sewing to you, and good luck with cleaning your rotary mat.
Beautiful experiences! Love the camping and food sharing! I received my kit!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get started. I do have a question before we start, you may cover this at that time. Can I use my accuquilt to make the QST and if so, what size cube? I have the 8" and 9" cubes.
Christine, I'm so excited that you received the kit! Woohoo! Great question on the Accuquilt - I hadn't even thought about using that for the QST. Are you making the medium size quilt? Or the small one? The medium size blocks finish at 6", so - without being too familiar with what comes in the cubes themselves - I'd guess that the 8" and 9" may not work. That said, I'll try to investigate this a bit more if I have time. ...and yeah for camping, too. Honestly it's so much fun to get out there and just get away for a long weekend.
