That is a great idea for using a jelly roll for an easy and comparatively fast quilt that shows off the fabrics in the collection. Not all quilts need to be complex designs to be pretty and useful! Thanks for the inspiration!
When I’ve had my Fitbit on and I am sandwiching a quilt my heart rate goes waaaay up into the cardio zone. And that time count as an activity. So don’t think you’re not getting any exercise quilting.
Thanks for sharing your creativity in time lapse & also for sharing your family & Piggy in the videos. I wish they didn't know when you were videoing so they would be in & out more. LOL I know some people keep a little ironing station by their machine, but I need to get up & down so my back doesn't hurt. I see you do the same!
My Goodness, what an awesome video!!! Your son is so handsome!!! He is so wonderful to help you!!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful tips!!! Piggy is so darling just sleeping in the chair. Did you get a new sewing machine? It looks great. Wow! Wow! Wow! Your jelly roll quilt is so outstanding! Stunning! it all came together so beautifully!! I love the pattern and the way you sewed it up.
Oh, my gosh, this was sew fun!!! Great job, Kimberly, at creativity, and “just going for it”! Love that. The videos like this are amazing. FQS is THE BEST!😍😍😍
I put 5 of your quilt patterns in my cart to purchase, I think my favorite is the Daybreak. I want to make it in Kimberly’s Pink and red fabric. You are absolutely my favorite designer! Thank you for what you do!!!
This is something that I have often thought about doing with a jelly roll but wasn’t sure if it would look good. Now I know that it will, I am going to give it go!! Thanks again Kimberly!!
Hello Lousie! The quilt was not quilted in time for is to insert a photo. You can see the completed quilt here: ru-vid.comB8qOJX1Gino?si=jkrV5lCgshfsIwQL&t=637
This is great! I love it! How you designed the back is exactly what I would have done by placing your strip blocks kiddy-corner to each other. Looks awesome!
Loved the video and your adorable pug. I used to have 3 pugs, but they are all gone to doggie heaven now and I am nearly 70 so I don't think I will get another. I sure do miss all the love they showed you. Pugs are special.
I want to learn to quilt and loved this video!! I have always wondered about jelly rolls!! 😊 You are so talented and I so appreciate how you share your gift!! 💗💗
I love these time lapse videos! It’s fun to see another quilter while they are in the flow of creating and hear a voiceover explanation. So much fun and it’s cute to see Piggy
No time to jump in to the fun busy finishing up projects for Christmas, but this is such a cool idea!! You always inspire me Kimberly!! Your energy and passion are infectious!! 💕
Love the time lapse video with your commentary. And I am also drooling over your most beautiful quilting room! Such a great productive space you made for yourself.
Love it! I have been home all week in quarantine and have been in my sewing room a lot. I truly need to live to 400 to complete all the projects I have purchased! Hope to get one jelly roll out of here with this cute project!
@@GiGi-si9mo thank you. We are fine. Tomorrow will be 10 days since hubby tested positive. Thank God he had no symptoms and we are able to get out tomorrow!
Loved this video...I have quite a few jelly rolls in my stash, will need to find the right one to make this.. A question, and this may have been addressed before, who makes the desk and floor lights in your sewing room. I am in great need of 2 floor lamps for my sewing area; the lamps you have appear to give off a great amount of light. Thank you.
Kimberly, you make this look so easy! Love the quilt and the colors! Thanks for sharing this! Genius using a drying rack to dry the starched strips. Question: you didn’t need to iron the strips after them drying? Were they warped or wrinkled? Just trying to lean and incorporate new ideas and methods.
I wondered about this too. I use starch for sewing quilt toppers and the instruction on these usually say to iron dry and not on the rack. Obviously not that much to be used either. I imagine it’s like washing it, putting fabric starch at the final rinse cycle and hang to dry. This way though it would warp and possibly leaves dry spots too. I make clothes too and my grandfather is a professional tailor making custom gentlemen’s suits and my mom made all of my fancy dresses for piano recitals and even draperies and all the decor items etc. for our home, and they always told me I have to prep fabric correctly. That is that I have to always put the fabric through water (immerse in water) for minimum of 1 hr and hang to dry, then iron (doesn’t usually involve starch for clothes making). I personally pre-wash my fabric in delicate cycle in nets especially things like cotton and linen because it has lots of dirt on it (lots of people touch it leaving their oils and dirt from hands), and residual dyed and chemicals (like formaldehyde which is carcinogenic). Just immersing it in water won’t gets these things out really. Even though I only put 1 min spin cycle and hang to dry, the fabric would always have wrinkles (though minimum) and the fabric grains won’t be straight until I iron them. I don’t think just hanging it on a rack like that after simply spraying would make the fabric magically come out just like you iron them.. Fabric has grains and they need to be straightened before cutting even for quilt toppers. I know she’s somewhat promoting this way to prep the fabric as she was showing the details in another episode (live episode) but I just felt it’s so unhealthy to use that much aerosol spray (she absolutely saturates the entire fabric and she apparently goes through tons of spray a month). As my grandfather who is a professional tailor and many told me unless the spray is for something else, normal regular iron starch spray is for soft finish. You’re better off to starch the fabric with wash-in fabric starch and iron after you hang to dry.
Ellie W “Wash-in fabric starch”? I had no idea that such a thing exists. I’ll have to track that product down (it should alleviate the strain on the spraying finger, which can get strained doing that much starching). Thanks very much for the tips! ~Diana K.
I love your sewing desks! Are those custom designed? 🥰🥰🥰 I am new to quilting (but not sewing) and absolutely love this channel. I feel like I missed a great event, but realized this day is nearly upon us again! 🎉🎉🎉
Just a buyer beware. I bought the starch on Amazon from a seller called the coalition. Apparently there was a no return policy which I didn’t realize and 7 of the 8 cans were damaged and wet from the starch spraying out. I tried to contact the seller but got no response so I guess I’m stuck with damaged product and no refund. Just wanted to warn everyone
What a fun idea! I'm not on any social media, so I can't enter, but I may have to try this layout anyway. I wish I had a table like that to do my cutting on :)
Aww little piggy loves you! I see him sleeping in the chair and the little Zzzz’s. You are very impressive with your quilting, stitching, running a business that we all love and most importantly being a mom!
What I noticed the most is your starching. I am a starcher but I use those 64 oz. bottles of liquid starch. I use 1 part starch mixed with 2 parts water. I pay $3.00 for a bottle of starch. Once I have an empty bottle I premix it in that empty one & take that to my sewing room to refill my spray bottle or the larger pieces like fat quarters I soak in a dollar store scrup pail which I keep in my sewing room & no one dare touch those. It is so much less expensive than the cans. I starch quite heavily & once I spray I iron it dry.
@@FatQuarterShopTX Thank you for your response. Was it custom made by a company or friend? However, did you outline the sewing machine? Make a shelf? I would love to have my son do this for me. Just wanted to figure out as much as I could before hand. Looks like a beautiful desk turned sewing machine table.
Kimberly, great video! I'm curious about your furniture in your home sewing room - what brand is it. I'm in the process of reorganizing and upgrading my room.
There are entire Facebook Groups ( and RU-vid channels, I imagine) dedicated to hand quilting and big stitch hand quilting with thicker threads 🧵 such as pearl cottons. You may want to join one, to see what like-minded individuals are up to in this space. I love the look of it. Enjoy! ~Diana K.
My usual rule is I don't quilt after 9 pm, so I don't make mistakes when I'm tired. I got home from a date night with hubby and felt pretty good and really wanted to do some sewing. Chain pieced 80 blocks, sewing the log on the wrong side. Spent the rest of the weekend with my seam ripper. Lesson learned.
I wish you showed more what and how you were sewing. Your video is cute but not helpful as it just shows you moving around. We can not actually see what you're doing. So can't learn from you. Sadly as it looks like you could teach a lot.
I have so many jelly rolls that don’t have a project can’t wait to try you idea! On vacation now but maybe in October or November. Thank you Kimberly for this fun idea.
Thank you for the video. I love seeing your kids help. Mr. Piggy is so cute sitting in your sewing room. I had a different drying rack but the bars kept breaking…the one you are using will be delivered tomorrow! Off to my sewing room to use up a jelly roll!
I really enjoyed your video and the way you talk us through the process. I like the idea of starching but my concern is breathing all of that aerosol starch into your lungs!
Kimberly thank you for an awesome video. I am new to sewing and I am learning so much from you! At the moment I am sewing easy projects but my goal is making quilts, of course. Cutting material is a real challenge and your videos have been a real help.
This is a great, fun project! The group i work with are trying to decide what type of machine we should purchase for our members, a relatively lower cost, maintenance free, or minimal maintenance, and great ease of use for a users with a broad range of skills. what model of JUKI sewing Machine are you using for this project.
This was really fun to watch! Thanks for sharing. I have a question about the way you starch. Why do you let the starch dry overnight instead of ironing right away?
