Enjoyed my time with you...my reward for doing things all morning now to sew this afternoon.

@gwensmith7024 3 года назад

I agree, Kudos to Billy, your podcasts are first class. Paper piecing is not my fav but the results are close to perfect. I always feel paper piecing is a “brain twister”. After I “adjust” my brain, I find it easier to do. Love your Saturday seven and all of your small project videos - thank you!

I love paper piecing. Blocks come out nice and crisp. Points match. Try it Chelsea. ❤️

@pattyalbertson1524 3 года назад

That UFO idea about long time sitting it really good. Most things are WIP because we get off on a tangent and don't get back right away. Thanks for all the comments. They are great. You guys do good together.

@sharonshergold2372 3 года назад

Just wondering if you would consider working with FQS to have “A Quilting Life” binder available to purchase that we could store the BOM’s in. It would be nice to have something cute for those as opposed to the plain black binders we buy at Staples 🤞🤞 Looking forward to the next RU-vid ..cake or no cake lol

@nataliegarcia9941 3 года назад

I love every episode but, since having listed to this almost a week ago I haven't been able to shake a viewers question on how to nourish creativity. I find I also struggle with this at times but, here are a a few things that I find to work for me. First and foremost, have grace for yourself!! (I owe this frequent reminder to Sherri and Chelsi. Thank you ladies!) We are all humans and we are not able to constantly producing great work at any given moment. From there I allow myself to get lost in things I truly love and enjoy. I read a book that is new or one I also feel "lifted" from (my favorite quick read/ little reminders in a pinch is, "Things Are What You Make of Them: Life Advice for Creatives" by Adam J. Kurtz), I call a dear friend, or I go for a walk. These seem simple and easier said than done but, who knows this little moments to break away from forced creativity may bring inspiration that would not have been found otherwise.

@kathyworden3781 3 года назад

I look forward to your videos and blog. The content is helpful. The three of you are a great team. I didn’t like foundation paper piecing until I did an entire large quilt in stars and a huge twisted log cabin. It’s easy now and I don’t waste much fabric because I’ve learned how to cut the pieces needed. It is an acquired taste with fantastic results!😂. If you do enough FPP, it will become easy.

@cathyc1079 3 года назад

Hello from Australia - love these episodes, love you both - thanks for all the interesting topics :)

@janemuir3546 3 года назад

For me, if I take a walk or hike it helps to clear and refresh my brain. If I can get to the beach or the mountains that is even better. Sitting in my back yard with bare feet reading a book is also great. Daily exercise is a bonus to help me think and feel creative.

@Cherylpuckey 3 года назад

Thank you ladies and Billy, i recently had to explain to my daughter also WOF....she is a beginner and i really have never thought about it until she asked.....glad to hear others have had a similar experience.....

@dianehaun711 3 года назад

Chelsea you absolutely should try foundation paper piecing. Fat Quarter Shop has several different blocks available in 6" and 12" sizes. A table runner would be an easy first project. On book organizing, I organize by topic, scrappy, pre cut friendly, applique etc. Have you ever designed a Christmas fabric line, or will you in the future? Does Billy have any interest in learning to quilt? There are some great men quilters out there. Maybe a very beginner friendly how to series featuring Billy learning to quilt! 😄

@rachelburgener819 3 года назад

I too was wondering about Billy getting in on the quilting game. Great suggestion 👏👏👏❤️😀

@barbaravarnava1795 3 года назад

Great to hear Billy giving us here in Australia a shout out, I really enjoy your podcasts here in Melbourne and your beautiful quilts that you display 🇦🇺😍 I also have your book Sherri and it’s on my shelf by author.LOL.😍

@beverleybrowning3480 3 года назад

So enjoyable as usual! Looking forward to the "surprise" in the next one - a peek at the new collection perhaps? Chelsea, if you'd like to try an EASY paper piecing block, try Lori Holt's "Economy" paper. It's fast & fun!

@r64jaqaseem 3 года назад

I am trying to do that now. Like cutting the scraps right away and put them in the appropriate bins.

@teresawertz1757 3 года назад

I organize by topic and subtopic in my bookshelf 💁‍♀️ but then I have eclectic crafting tastes ie quilting, knitting, sewing and tatting/ crochet from the past decades. Love your podcast! ❤

@mariawells8026 3 года назад

I was looking forward to this starting last week! LOL. It's such a high light since we can't get out much. All of you do a fabulous job and I learn something new each time! Thank you so much!

Wondering.....if Chelsea's surprise is expecting another child? She just seems so very happy and excited about giving us some great news (along with cake!). I'll be watching on Monday!!!!!! I always look forward to your podcasts - so fun to listen to even though I'm not a quilter. A lot of what you talk about can be used in other areas of life. You are very motivating. Thanks so much!!!! 🙂

Thanks ladies once again for your fabulous podcast . Full of inspiration and tips that are so valuable. Sherri I too am following your Saturday goal idea and it’s great. Good to hear that little New Zealand gets a mention by Billy. Funny though Billy as New Zealanders often get tagged along with Aussies. I suppose geographically you can say we are close .

I would love to see you do a line of blue fabrics similar to the pink collection that this video references. I know a blue collection would be just as gorgeous.

@lindasimmons3167 3 года назад

I find I’m most creative when I have multiple projects going. Maybe like your bathroom painting-that’s when all the creative ideas were flowing. Of course, if too many things are happening that causes stress which definitely is not conducive to creativity.

@elaineclements3883 3 года назад

Are you familiar with "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron? It's essentially a primer on expanding creativity with specific exercises to help spur creative ideas. I've been part of groups that have done it together and I've done it on my own--it really works if you do the exercises faithfully. Exercises include journalling/morning pages, learning how to play, etc. .

@jenniferbonynge5899 3 года назад

Hey Chelsi! You’ve got to try paper piecing! It is so precise and rewarding once you get used to the backwards thinking of fabric placement. 😉

@awa1179 3 года назад

I agree. And it’s not as bad as your mom says. Once you get used to it, it’s a breeze.

@joydicksonquilts 3 года назад

I started EPP because of Sherri’s Labor of Love QAL. Now I’m making Blooms in Balboa. But i cheated and bought the hexis. Love that pattern.

@puppiesfollowus 3 года назад

Absolutely. If you want some time to yourself- get out the room painting supplies and people will scatter and leave you alone for fear you will ask for help! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂 perfect decoy 🥰 plus you get a fresh coat of paint 💕

My wife says Hi from New Zealand !!

@helencowen135 3 года назад

Just to clarify Billy's comment - NZ is a separate country to Australia, though along with other Pacific Islands , we belong to what is loosely termed "Oceania"

@AQuiltingLife 3 года назад

Thank you for clarifying that! I knew New Zealand was a separate country but I didn't know if it was considered part of the Australian continent. But I have heard "Oceania" used to identify the region of Australia and all the surrounding Islands as well. Thanks for listening!

@charlenemorris6391 3 года назад

Chelsea you can get your girls involved in english paper piecing and have fun evening time. You may have to put together but they now use glue. It would be a WIP

@marcellarodriguez7955 3 года назад

I’ve inherited many sewing books and magazines from my recently deceased mother going back from the 1970’s and I organized them by type of sewing and I used a nice wooden filing cabinet. My magazines I’ve subscribed to, I organized them on a bookshelf by date and having the most recent first

@debranorris4331 3 года назад

Good morning!! I was wondering how you first started designing your fabric collections? Do you have a background in graphic art? Thank you for all your videos and podcasts!! Always full of information!!

@SewFun 3 года назад

I've tried the 'sorting fabric by color' for my scraps, but I'm always frustrated by multi-colored prints. There are lots of videos with people sorting scraps but I always see them sort the easier ones. How do you handle prints that are really multi-colored? How do they fit in your sorting system and how do you use them in scrap quilts?

@puppiesfollowus 3 года назад

I will be interested to see what they answer also. I actually have a true multi color bin also

@marcellarodriguez7955 3 года назад

I tried sorting also and came across that issue because of the multi colored fabrics

@mleosu 3 года назад

I put all my multi-colored in their own group. Regardless of what colors are in the multi-color.. they all go in the same group.

@gwensmith7024 3 года назад

I have this same problem!

@nataliegarcia9941 3 года назад

My mind has been really at peace since I decided to start sorting by sizes (ex. 5"x5" or 2.5"' strips) from there they are sorted by color somewhat. It feels much more approachable to my eye to start with size and color falls into place for my organizing.
