I just finished a quilt I started 20 years ago. No guilt. It's wasted emotion. Just joy that it's done. 😂

@gwenj5419 Месяц назад

As a very new quilter, for my first quilt, I decided to make twin bed quilts for my 2 boys. I finally finished a baby sized quilt from those blocks for my 3rd child. Lol

@marybeth4002 Месяц назад

I'm still working on a quilt I started when we were expecting our first child 37 yrs ago. Gulp! But I'm going to take your advice on 'no guilt' and persevere - it's all by hand too. "Wasted emotion" so true and thank you.

I have been collecting shirts for a quilt, especially linen shirts for a linen quilt, for 25 years. Only after finding this channel did I find the missing puzzle piece: I had put them away washed, but I needed to remove the seams. Now my linen quilt and some pieced bags from shirts and beautiful many colored denim pants are underway! All I needed was to turn them into usable fabric Before putting them away! I keep sharing this story here and with IRL friends because it has made such a difference in my life and my quilting life. Such joy ✨

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

What a wonderful perspective and a great reminder! Congratulations on your finished quilt! ❤️

@jeanniebrown82 Месяц назад

I so enjoy your videos. Of course, I especially appreciate this one because the quilter you mentioned is my daughter. I am so proud of her. She works hard with her customer in an effort to make their journey a delight.

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Oh how wonderful, Jeannie! ❤️ She did an especially good job with this one! 🤩

@diannenaworensky6698 Месяц назад

Cathy, I really enjoyed your quilting story. It is interesting when you say "this shirt was perfect for quilt making". When I go to the thrift store I catch myself talking to me asking "I wonder if that would look good in a quilt" ?? You have the right mindset to think about the colors. I have a hard time with that. I think that is why I love scrappy quilts. Hope you have a GREAT week ahead !!! ❤❤❤❤❤

@sally-anneshotter9174 Месяц назад

Day late in watching, but love sitting here in the stillness of the morning watching your videos. Your enthusiasm always brings a smile to my face, the quilt is wonderful and love the long arm pattern. Keep doing what your doing

@dianap9381 Месяц назад

I love listening to you wax poetic about quilting. I can always tell how much you love it by the way you talk. Every single one of your videos is a joy to watch and rewatch because listening to you is a joy.

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Oh my goodness, Diana! Thank you! ❤️

@kylierigby1953 Месяц назад

Such a special story that will travel with the quilt and on whomever lap it rests.❤

@samanthap6971 Месяц назад

Adore this quilt! So special and meaningful for your family. 🎄

@marybeth4002 Месяц назад

I really like all aspects of the quilt.... but I LOVE the red striped binding! I'm glad you stuck with it even though it was a challenge and will think twice about that type of binding again. Nicely done, nicely done.

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

LOL! How about that!! 🤩😍

@SuseMck994 Месяц назад

Santa is at my house! It's a crazy windy winter night here, and just as you're talking about the Santa shirt with his bell, the wind blows my front door brass bell!! Timing couldn't have been better! Santa's here lol!!

@Love-to-sew-so-much-56 Месяц назад

@rhondadownes207 Месяц назад

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love that you made a “present” on the back to represent each family member!!! Great idea ❤️💚🖤💙

@freddiehansen7324 Месяц назад

Such a pretty quilt! And the quilting is perfect!

@jmurphy7192 Месяц назад

I love a striped binding, too! Don’t hand sew, but add a flange and machine bind. Just let me know and I’d be delighted to do your striped bindings in the future!

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

J, I just might take you up on that offer! 😘

@ms.booklover2676 Месяц назад

Oh my, Cathy, you have a unique kind of quilting talent. I almost feel like I could pick out your quilts among a bevy of quilts. I have a feeling that pattern would be beautiful to flip it around and create it on a black background with white eyelets. It would look like “snowflakes” at night time. P S I hope you successfully beat back that melanoma. ❤️❤️

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Donna, I think you're right...a dark background would be so lovely! And yes, after melanoma removal, I've had no more signs of it--thank you! ❤️

@laurarogers808 Месяц назад

I enjoyed watching this! So glad it’s finally completely finished!!! Yay!

@Sylvie_M Месяц назад

Maybe the longarmers love the challenge of ...... you! LOL I love your striped binding!! And it is a beautiful quilt. Congratulations for completing it!

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Sylvie, I'm pretty sure longarmers don't love the challenges I bring--but I'm fortunate that I have some great ones that are willing to tackle my quilts anyway!! 😂

@pegpage8618 Месяц назад

I love this quilt - it turned out so lovely . You always put so much thought into your quilts and I think that’s why they turn out so nicely. I, on the other hand, jump in head first and then stall out on what to do next. 😅.

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Thanks, Peg! ❤️ I do think SO MUCH about my quilts, but I stall out, too, because sometimes I don't think through the whole quilt--just the step I'm on in the moment!

@michaelcaselli2716 Месяц назад

Congratulations!!! It’s always so satisfying to take a quilty idea to the finish line. There was a day in the 1990s when I filed a ‘house’ quilt away because of an illness. Long ‘quilt story’ short, I finally finished it in 2024…label and all.

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Thank you! It IS so satisfying--I can imagine even more so for a quilt that had been filed away for so long! 🤩❤️

@jeanettewithrow9641 Месяц назад

Your Christmas quilt is beautiful. The quilting is very pretty. Love the back.

@gisellejones1139 Месяц назад

It seems that things happened just the way they were supposed to😊I love striped binding and the quilt !!

@lizwarnke4689 Месяц назад

LOVE this quilt story. Made me smile and laugh so much. I have projects that have had the same kind of journey. Love your Christmas quilt!

@lindaskinner5887 Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful quilt.

@tinakercher8768 Месяц назад

I love your christmas quilt. It was all worth the wait.

@leanichols6824 Месяц назад

Your Christmas quilt has such an interesting history. It is a beautiful quilt front and back. I love how everyone in your family were part of choosing their favorite fabric for the back. It adds to the "family" part of the quilt and is a fun part of the quilt's history.

@georgiadabinett6312 Месяц назад

From now on the background train whisle will play in my mind when I look at the started pile here. LOL

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

LOL! Me too!!😂

@patstrawhouse4005 Месяц назад

Hi Cathy! This was a great story about the journey of your Family’s Christmas Quilt…and it’s just the beginning! It would be a lovely addition to create a journal that can be passed on to future generations. You could begin with your story* that you shared today, and a new entry could be made when it is passed on to another family household. *Not necessarily written by you. Thank you and stay well!

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Thank you, Pat!

@andrewroberts1841 Месяц назад

This quilt is truly beautiful--

@carmenbailey1560 Месяц назад

Your Christmas quilt is beautiful, and I too love making my backing a statement piece. Love the Christmas gift packages on the backside, well done. I’m actually just getting ready to start a Christmas quilt for my sister, fabrics are ready for the cutting. Maybe just maybe I’ll put gifts on the backside. 😁 Thanks for sharing your process. 👍❤️🙂

@g.butterly8294 Месяц назад

The binding is really the cherry on the cake! Love it! I've learned something: it's useless to stress to finish a project as Christmas always return 😂

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

It's so true--thank goodness Christmas always comes back around again!🎅🏻🎄

@claudiawarren6053 Месяц назад

I just love your quilty adventures! The Christmas Quilt is absolutely gorgeous!

@paulaakers7733 Месяц назад

How I love your stories! They, like your quilts, are special and part of your joy in quilting. Interesting how the story is evolving and we are not aware until the quilt is complete, or not. It's just so wonderful. Keep quilting and sharing your stories. Both bring you and us so much joy. 🎉😊🎉

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Thank you, Paula. You have the kindest heart.❤️

@sandrahageman9955 Месяц назад

Totally unrelated to Christmas… But kind of like Christmas in July. My husband‘s favorite white linen button-down shirt had an unfortunate accident. I was actually happily pleased when I couldn’t get the stain out. I now have a linen shirt to use for an upcoming project.

@annerankin1191 Месяц назад

I just love listening to the inside of your head! Losing steam I think is quite a common event for quilters. Good for you to finish. The finish line remains undated (I’m pretty sure!!!!) XOXOX

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Thank you, Anne! And I agree--the creative process often comes with totally losing interest in a project! (although I wish it didn't!)

@feralnonbinaryautistic Месяц назад

I had forgotten about this one, although now I see it, I do remember you starting it. Beautiful!

@Sewwithdebee Месяц назад

Looks wonderful, I always say good things take time - yes life’s events take centre stage 😊❤

@vanillayogurt5650 Месяц назад

You are so right about the long arm quilting process! I love big unpieced backs and I cannot lie!

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

I'm sure you laughed and eye-rolled and face-palmed about that back--but isn't that amazing that Laura got it centered AND square?!

@juliasander1680 Месяц назад

Love the Christmas quilt! I am a slow binder, but honestly I am a slow quilter. With the quilting, much of the slowness has to do with my being an overthinker! But that’s ok! Great job!

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

I think "overthinking" has gotten a bad rap as of late---sometimes it's just thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Wanting to make a quilt that matches the vision in our heads is never a bad thing, in my opinion!❤️

@sallycrawford7205 Месяц назад

I absolutely love this quilt! Front and back with stripes💓💓💓💓 I have aUFO or two as well. Don’t we all.🤪 we all have life interruptions and we need to allow peace as much as possible. I too had melanoma on my arm at the same time my husband broke his neck… life happens. Currently I had cataract surgery and can’t see to sew. ☹️. But like you my head is spinning on what to work on next. Our roller coaster will probably continue but have fun on the journey and enjoy yourself and your family as you love all you can! 💓

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Sally, it's so true: Life happens! I'm sorry that you can't see to sew right now but it sounds like you'll be ready once your vision comes back in full!❤️

@carolynquick Месяц назад

Thanks for reminding me! I have one that needs to be finished.....I do not want to do it but have too much time and money in it to not finish it now. Yours is beautiful!

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Thank you, Carolyn! You won't regret getting yours out and finishing it, I bet!

@marshamackay8745 Месяц назад

Love your quilt. I bought the pattern and made the quilt when you auditioned it a while ago. One of my favourite quilts. You are right, it takes a lot of background.

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

So. Much. Background! But I'm glad you love yours too! ❤️

@bbymks5 Месяц назад

Love it!!! Love it all!!! Would be so cute to add little gift tags with your names on the presents!

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

What a great idea! 🤓👍🏻

@diannenaworensky6698 Месяц назад

Maybe a bow on top of that present too !?!?!?

@shannoneaster9311 Месяц назад

Love your Christmas quilt! And you’re 5 months early for Christmas!!! 😁👍🏼

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Shannon, right?!? 🤩

@debbietrapp7757 Месяц назад

Happy Friday Cathy, this quilt is amazing and the backing makes it so very special. Beautiful job! Now is definitely the time to start Christmas projects, but when it’s in high 90 low hundreds for me it’s hard to get motivated. Hmmm, maybe get out my Carpenters Christmas CD 🤔🧑🏻‍🎄🤶🏻

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Debbie, I agree--that 90+ degree weather saps me of all my energy ANYWAY, but especially any motivation for wintry projects!😱

@user-mk1zn8zh4x Месяц назад

Great story, beautiful beautiful Quilt❣ I'm sure You would have taken the same tight woven fabric for the binding even if you had known about the little difficulty of hand stitching as it's a perfect match :)

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Sue, you're so right! 100% would have done it even knowing it would be more work! 😘

@kimberlyp2778 Месяц назад

Oh Cathy, it is so beautiful! 😍

@veronicaosborn3029 Месяц назад

I did a baby quilt without a pattern, pieced the front, used a panel (first time) with borders on the back. And I realized it may be a challenge so I made sure they understood that if they didn’t think they could do it just let me know, that I would find the time to do it myself. They wanted to try so I let them have at it. Picked it up and the back was so off center. 😬 I didn’t say anything, came home and spent a couple days picking the entire thing out and ended up quilting it myself. To be fair, she is newer to long arming. She is the daughter in law to my regular long arm quilter who passed away last year. It’s definitely a learning process for us all. Your Christmas quilt it beautiful! ❤

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Oh my goodness, Veronica! What a story! 😱 I've done something similar---it's no fun picking out quilting, but getting a quilt the way you want it is WORTH IT.❤️

@veronicaosborn3029 Месяц назад

@@TheCatBirdQuilts , absolutely. It was a gift, and I could have never given it to them like that. 😬

@lisastewart2861 Месяц назад

Beautiful quilt! So happy that you shared the final view. I bought this pattern based on your recommendation. I need to get busy making it!

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Thanks, Lisa! ❤️ Just know that (if you're using shirts) it's not worth it for the background---save yourself some time and energy and buy yardage (or a sheet) for your background! 🤓😱🤩

@eljay5623 Месяц назад

Love the quilt and the story! I bought that pattern about a year ago and haven’t had the chance to make it. Have so much on my plate that comes first, but am soooo looking forward to making it! I love your rendition! I’m so excited to know that Moda has a color swatch card! I previously purchased the Kona swatch card, but have found that every time I’m working with solids, i often end up with some Moda and some Kona, and i simply prefer the Moda… to the point I’ve decided not to buy Kona anymore if i can help it. I’m going yo locate and purchase that Moda swatch card. 😍 (I gave the Kona card to my local quilt shop)

@dianeroome972 Месяц назад

You have made so many quilts! The amount of work you accomplish is amazing! Do you keep a journal of your quilts? I have found several duvets lately, so I am ruminating about what to do, now that I have backs! LOL. One duvet is (hear Angel trumpets) beautiful linen. I can't believe I got it for $10.00. I did a thrifters excited jump up and down.

@dianeroome972 Месяц назад

Your Christmas quilt is really perfect for your family. You could write gift/name tags for each present, with "love from mom"...

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Diane, I bet you DID jump up and down--I would have squealed! I don't keep a journal of my quilts (just a list) but I'm fortunate because I have this video record of all them because of the YT channel! ❤️

@georgiadabinett6312 Месяц назад

Yeah. Cannot wait. But will.

@SewTeresa Месяц назад

❤❤❤Lovely, lovely quilt! I always hand sew my binding as well… I wonder if doing a bias on those high thread count fabrics would help make the hand stitching easier?? 🤔

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

Oh I bet it would! Clever girl! 🤓😘

@dianepatten8594 Месяц назад

New subscriber from Ontario, Canada. You are so inspiring. I have 35 plus years of fashion sewing under my belt but I would like to start quilting. I am and have been an avid thrifter. Maybe a silly and obvious question “do you launder your shirts before using, you don’t mention this but I am assuming you do? Love your channel. ❤️🇨🇦

@TheCatBirdQuilts Месяц назад

I do laundry them--often on hot, almost always with vinegar in the wash (to get scents and other chemical residues out) and I dry them either on warm or hot! You never know what a thrift store item has been through--always good to give it a clean start!😘
