I love when you do the 3 yard quilts. I am married to an engineer and have engineer twins and and an 18 year old with lots of engineering skills. I have a liberal arts degree and can not read a pattern to save my life! I rely on your videos more than you know!!!
You are so adorable April. We have been slow at work this week, so I have been binging your vids all week. I have brought fabrics, cut mat, rotary cutter and ruler, and all 12 of my 3 yard quilt books. I've cut 4 quilts they are labeled and bagged, so this weekend, virtual you and irl me are going to piece 4 quilts and hopefully get them ready to long arm next week. Love the end of your vids with the out takes. You crack me up. Trying to get 10 quilts done by the end of April for a charity quilt drive hosted by another youtuber for foster kids. You inspired me with all your 3 yard quilt videos. Thanks for all you do to entertain, teach, and inspire your fans. How do I buy you a cup of coffee? A quilty fan, Teri G
Wow. Thank you so much. I love that you are making these quilts and they are for a charity. Can you tell me what RU-vidr is doing the quilt drive. I would love to donate a quilt. You can buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/aprilscraftroom. Thank you for all of your support. Hugs, April
Love your choices, this will make a beautiful summer picnic quilt. Think I may make one to donate to the VFW for their 4th of July raffle. Thank you April, you are amazing.
I have several pieces of red, white & blue that I could make this with. I need my "mojo" back so it might be a while. I go through stages of ambition. I enjoy it thoroughly when I'm sewing but I go through a "no sew" slump now & then.
You need to play this again for your granddaughter in slow motion so she can see the smile on your face at 20:27 -- In fact take a screen shot of that for her scrapbook so she can look back on it years from now and recall the precious look on both of your faces with her waving and looking up at you and you smiling. I loved it!
Aww - that is so cute. I will have to save that. Thank you for pointing it out. When you're editing a video you sometimes are too involved to really watch the video. LOL. Thank you. 😊. April
I love your channel. I love your creations. I love your animals making cameo appearances, your beautiful granddaughter and your humor. This is such a great idea! Now I know what to do with the panels I love and don't want to "quilt". Thank you!
I am a little bit late I'm making my fourth of July quilt but I have the same three Fabrics from fabric Cafe it's a different pattern than what you're doing a little bit more difficult for me I get things backwards upside-down tear it out put it back together but that's okay I'm kind of everybody and I love chocolate do it all work out for me enjoy your day April I love watching your tutorials you're a lot of fun to watch and it's very free spirited I love that about you thank you so much and have a great day and smile for everybody
Great tutorial! Wonderful to see that I am not the only one who makes mistakes. I probably would have left it as it was instead of ripping that much out.
I purchased all of Donna Robertsons books to make some of her patterns. I decided to make "Its A Breeze" in her Modern Views book. After completing 10 windmills, I changed my mind and made a table runner instead. It came out absolutely great!!! I love it. Thanks for doing some of her quilts because this will help me understand her instructions better. Keep quilting. 😻😻
Glad you found the mistake before you had it all finished and quilted. I made a sailboat quilt for my nephew and when he held it up to show everyone- one pair of sails were headed the wrong way. Oh, oh! Made the quilt more unique!! As always, enjoyed your video!
LOL. I totally relate. I posted a video with one of my 3 yard quilts and a viewer pointed out my mistake. The struggle is real. 😀😜. Thank you for watching. April
Love your 3 yd quilt tutorials. I read the pattern and get confused, so now I know what to do after watching. (10×) lol Thanks for including your mistakes so we can learn from them and hopefully not repeat 🙂! Love your videos, keep up the great work.
@@aprilscraftroom it gives me hope, that I won't always be sewing perfectly and to give myself a break in expecting it to be. I finished my 2nd quilt top today, and it looks pretty good, if I do say so. Pattern doesn't call for borders, but it is really small, so I am going to try doing a pieced piano 🎹 border. Jelly roll jam 2 from fat quarter shop. A while back, I had bought a jelly roll junior. While looking for it, found a packet of 5 fat quarters to match that I'd gotten on clearance. Score!
April I love your fabric. I just made a patriotic quilt. I will have to send you a picture. I added 2 extra borders to make it larger. It is a 3 yard quilt too.
I have made 4 quilts using the “3 yard quilts” that you have shown ! Thank you so much. You are right they are easy and pretty too.. I love watching your RU-vid 🌻
Like your flag video and I have seen a lot of patriotic quilts on line but yours is one of the nicest I’ve seen. Those pics at the end really show it off nicely. Keep inspiring! Cute helper, and kitty and dogs.
Your free spirit and humor in your tutorials are truly enjoyable! Super special when your helpers show up. I’m attempting to sew my first quilt and looking for tips before I attach my borders. You make it seem so easy. You’re the best!
Love your comment about the glasses and the ripper ! I hear you soul sister! I’m making a black and white quilt top right now and sewing a night is not an option with these Colors! Lol
Oh I bet - I've recently had to begin wearing the cheaters to see close up. I love a black and white combination soul sister. As always we think alike. ;-) April
I began quilting with Hobby Lobby fabric, but it does not hold up. I only use it for small projects now, not quilts that I want to last for years. Nice video! You have the cutest little helper ever!
I'm trying to think if I've used Hobby Lobby fabric for any other quilts. I will keep that in mind. Thank you for letting me know. I must agree with you on the cutest helper ever, but I am extremely prejudice - LOL. Thank you for watching. :-) April
Thank you. I think it is so pretty. It almost makes seam ripping fun. Almost. I do like this pattern. It came together quickly. Until I messed up. LOL. Thank you for watching. April
I LOVE this quilt! & Oliver!!! ( I have a Mo & Audio that help me occasionally, lol! I'm new to quilting... nit sure I'd you get a comment on an older video, but everytime I try the link for a free pattern, I get an Oops... not available.... rats! If there is anyone to access I'd be ever so grateful!!! Thanks again for such great videos!!!!
Well you only had one row to take apart… I noticed at the last row of dash pattern that I didn’t put the sashing in between the rows and no way was I pulling the whole thing apart so I just added another border to top and bottom to make the quilt long enough!
Omg I just did the same error on my quilt I sewing the last two rows upside down. I had the borders all sewed on by the time I found it. So Jack the Ripper and I went to work. 😅
My friend bought it at a quilt shop in Elizabethtown KY and I don't believe she has an online shop. However, I know Power Tools with Thread sells them as well and they look to be similar. Here is a link to her shop: powertoolswiththreadstore.com/ April
I usually give them away unless I am really attached. The quilt in a day I kept because I absolutely love the fabric. I also need to finish several of them to give to Project Linus. Thank you for watching. 😀 April
This must be a Donna Robertson pattern. At least it looks like one in one of my mom's books of hers. As a brand new quilter, I am not happy that I started with her patterns. They are SOOO hard for me to follow. I bought my first pattern from a different person and it's for a twin size and it is broken down so nicely in easy to follow step by step instructions. I just recently ordered some great patriotic fabrics so I can't wait to make a quilt with them. What do you do with all of your quilts? Do you sell them, gift them, hang them up?
This is a Donna Robertson pattern. I usually mess up the first one but second time is a charm for me. I am really loving the red, white and blue and it makes me want to do another in the patriotic theme. I have some flip flop fabric in red, white and blue that is adorable. I keep some, gift some and need to finish some to give to charity. As of yet I have not hung one up. Thank you for watching. :-) April
@@aprilscraftroom The second time comment was too funny! I have done two of hers and I'm sure my struggle is because I'm new. I'm the kind of person that needs step by step broken down until I get the hang of things. Her quilts are really pretty though. Instructions are just a challenge for me. I just got all five of my antique looking patriotic fabrics in and can't WAIT to start making a quilt with them. I'm going to give it to a friend I have in Texas that served in the Army so I hope he'll like it. Thank you for your reply! Loving your channel! A great one to binge! You are too adorable.
I went to the link you provided and it said Fabric Cafe what you're looking for isn't available. I searched Sew Fast and only buy patterns were available. They have no free patterns
I knew that the selvage would get cut off when I cut the individual blocks after sewing the strips together. I figured I would just cut one time instead of removing the selvage and then having to straighten the end anyway. Great question. Thank you for watching. April
it should be listed in description ... but if not ... or if you have trouble... email me and I can send it to you ... aprilscraftroom@gmail.com (make sure to list what video title you are looking for in the email ) ... Thanks April
you think that it's hard to see only having to use reading glasses!!? try having to wear bifocals and have to rip ou seams. then i's time to whip out the magnifying glass. i'm trying to convince my husband that one of those clamp on kind is a justifiable expense. i want a nice one not one of the cheap ones..one like what we have out in the work shop. haha.
@@aprilscraftroom so blind i can't type for tihs either lol! i love your videos. they are great for beginners like myself. they remind us that making mistakes is ok, and that it's about having fun. i am so jealous of you to let things be good enough. i was brought up that anything less than perfection was failure, and failure was unacceptable. and a punishment was given for failure. so it's hardd for me to just let good enough be good enough.
I recently discovered your channel and subscribed. I've been watching a lot of your videos until I ran across this one. I CANNOT ever support Hobby Lobby for their stance against Women's Health. And I certainly will not support anyone who supports them. Sadly I am unsubscribing from your channel. Please -- all women should refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby.
That is one of the many reasons I love living in America. We are all free to have our beliefs and express them. I respect your choice. God bless America. April
