I happen to love your snippets and enjoy hearing about your day and Jerry's. Life would be dull if people led perfect lives. I do have the EQ system but can't remember the last time I used it. Same with my Floriani Embroidery Software which I wish I could play with more often. We collect things and put them aside and the next thing we know, they're forgotten, well, in my case. I would love to make that Owl Quilt that you have behind you and even bought the book! My husband is set to retire next month so hopefully, I can do more sewing and quilting things while he cleans the house and makes dinner : ) Let Jerry know I wish him a Happy Belated Birthday!
Really like the small basket quilt! 💖 The quilting on it is very pretty, too! We feel your frustrations with "some" laborers. We've encountered similar issues. Don't change your videos! I feel like you are "my friend", and we are just sitting down and "visiting" with one another! -You with your cup of coffee & me with my tea!
Joy, I love your entire videos. I don’t come to your channel to watch a certain part. I come for you. I love your snippets. You airway make me smile or laugh. You totally make my day.
Yes, we could have our own club. I thought the Little Quilts Club was expensive for what it was. I never tire of listening to you, no apologies necessary. Your energy and enthusiasm are infectious. My sewing room is messy, too, but I have made lots of stuff lately. A creative mess is better than tidy idleness! I'm looking forward to you showing us Gerry's Kitty quilt. Anything with cats in has to be fabulous.
Love watching you be you, and learning so many tips on sewing. Joy you should watch Kimberly at Fat quarter shop Oct 6, she is starting a paper pieced mini quilt so cute design. Also next Friday October 13 she is going to demonstrate how to use electric quilt, which may be useful information.
I love your confidence and enthusiasm! If some of your viewers don’t want to here you talk about daily goings on, that is good advise for them to fast forward or go. I personally enjoy you very much, and I learn a lot!
My husband passed away 5/25/21 so I understand Philly’s circumstances. I sold my house 1/5/23 & moved into a rental condo. It’s so hard to do this on your own. I had a wonderful moving company who packed me & moved me. It’s awful being alone.
I have now been widowed for 11 years. I agree that being alone is pretty bad, but I would say being without the man I loved for 40 years is awful. I sometimes wonder, truly, if widows who sell their homes that they shared with their life partner regret doing that. A friend of mine warned me not to make major life decisions in the first years of widowhood. I don’t think I could even think straight for 5 years. I still live in our home. I still drive the same car. I still feel his presence and I’m glad. Sorry, Joy, for being off subject. I genuinely wonder about how others handle the death of a spouse.
Don’t change yourself, one bit! I watch every one of your videos and don’t fast forward through any of them! Lol You are so talented and creative! Also…..if you start a club, I want to join and I don’t even quilt!! Lol
Hey, I love your snippets! It’s like visiting with my best friend. I talk back and forth answering your questions and laughing right along with you! After all, this is YOUR channel and if someone doesn’t want to listen I say bye bye!
I’ve been down lately-family challenges-and then I found you again and your name is perfect! JOY! I love your videos!!! They make me smile and sometimes laugh and as we know, laughter is good medicine! Keep doing what you are doing! Love you and appreciate your uplifting nature!
Joy, Joy, Joy, I just don’t understand why people have to complain about your videos, if they don’t like it they should just move on to something else. There is no need to say anything. Btw, I love your brown outfit you had on Tuesday, the colors are so flattering on you. I am always Leary of contractors, it I have to say, lately we have been dealing with 2 and they have been marvelous. Their crews are polite, clean up and do the job with expertise. We have another one coming out in February to build a patio cover and he and & his wife run it. They are wonderful. Anyway, long way around, I hope your kitchen turns out beautiful the second go round. Most importantly, we hope Philly finds a nice place. I hope she is moving closer to you but I think you said her kids are in Tulsa, too bad.
You did a great job on the quilt.. the basket layout make much more sense..love your videos, they make me laugh, the singing( double mint gum) and your enthusiasm..
I like some of Edytha's designs and have made some of her patterns, I just finished the one that I call tree of life and it is beautiful! I do not like little bitty mug rugs or tiny quilts, and usuallly will enlarge a quilt rather than make one smaller. I have few small ones but don't like hanging on the wall. The bqsket quilt is super cool, I like it lots. Few great designers live near me and have beautiful designs and I am lucky to have them as friends, check out "American Jane" done by Sandy Klop, and "Verna Mosquera" and her company is "Vintage Spool" beautiful quilts! Oh wow, you finished the basket quilt, love it lots!
I think the first EQ was 79-99$ and she made the upgrades priced according to which version you had. I also have all the add on programs for paper piecing and appliqué. I used it all the time and even used it for classes I taught. My EQ had all kinds of sashing and borders in their lists. I’m not sure what the problems you are having. Loved it. You got me back into garment sewing because the Kim top you made was exactly what I wanted to wear. Thank you.
The sashings are ALL pieced with cornerstones. I like plain sashings. You can use a plain block, but it is very hard to rotate and size -- in MY opinion.
Wow, that’s how I feel every time I make a quilt…..my room is a mess! I attempt to clean it up and my husband says why??? It’s just going to get messed up again😂😂. He’s right but I need to get the remnants picked up and start again. Love your channel. Keep up the good work! I’ll join your club, too!!
Love the top in the first snippet. We made it to Florida last Sunday after a 10 hour drive. I’ve been sewing a top myself. Vacation has been going great until last night. We had to take our chihuahua to an emergency vet for neck pain. She is on pain medicine & anti inflammatory. Also no walking for 2 weeks except potty time. The medication does seem to be helping. Needless to say not much sleep last night so I’m getting ready to hopefully sleep like a baby. So glad the swelling is down in your legs.
It was poet John Lydgate and later adapted by President Lincoln: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time”. Sorry you are once again having contractor issues. Glad the boss agreed they had to be redone tho. I love your basket quilt! I have been trying to teach myself pattern drafting and made a pair of shorts with welt pockets, for my 1st pair they turned out not to bad but a little on the bigger side, all in the practice and it is fun.
I think you’re my sister from another mother. 🥰 I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding this month’s LQC! I have Electric Quilt 8, however, have not yet used it. I’ll join your club!
Oh no I can’t believe that about your countertops. We’re having our new ones installed on Monday and when we went a few weeks ago to tell them how we wanted the countertops to be laid out I told my husband I hope they know where to put the sink to line up with out existing cabinets. He said well of course they do. Then I heard you say about yours and I told him and said see it happened. He always says why do you think that way - I said because it can happen. I’m so sorry I hope when they come back out it’s correct. I know how you feel. Our kitchen has been like this for a month. I’m ready to be done.
It was Abraham Lincoln who said “ you can please some of the people all of the time,all of the people some of the time but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.”
10.8.23 hi joy, i made the sunny lanes quilt and i added piano keys border, it was a fun pattern. I want to send a pic but i don't know how to add it to the comments. You are a great inspiration. Thanks i enjoy your videos, Marcia
I like that your personal on your channel, I laugh along with you when you go off track I know your going to get to the point.I do the same thing my daughter,niece and sisters just let me go on and on then they will say ok tell us about etc: I look at them and say I forgot what that was😂😂😂❤
An you tell me where you get your pattern for your blouses. I am very pear shape and i have problems of fitting myself. Love your videos and your humor.
Sorry you’re having trouble with the countertops, why we don’t have craftsmanship a more. Tried of people who could care less about their vocation. I think your little quilt is cute. Negative people just need to go away, I don’t allow them in my life. Remember guard your heart.
Varicose veins. They are inside my leg. You can look it up on the internet. They show it in great detail. They basically kill the bad veins so the good veins will take over. Some of them bulge to the outside, but I had most of those removed in the past.
I love your videos! You're so animated and a "joy" to watch. However, I agree with you. If I'm watching a video where someone is droning on, I fast forward, too. Some RU-vidrs just drone on and on and talk soooooo slooooooow in a monotone voice that I have to wonder if they ever get excited about anything. I'm sorry if that sounds rude, but they bore me to tears.
Ty Joy! On your mini quilts have you decided on what quilt you may be making and do we get templates and what book should we get if we want to follow you along. It sounds like fun. I did get the pattern for the appliqué quilt that you just bought the sunflowers for fall fun? 🪡🧵✂️
