Sherri putting your "white" background cut-offs or scraps in a labelled bin is the BEST tip ever. I have so many times tried to match up white/ivory/whitish etc cut-offs that I've clipped a ziploc bag to the bolts to keep the scraps in and it really helps. This is going to be a game changer for many! Thank you! Sherri, please call your Dad Dad - think of your children calling you Chelsi.
Had to stop the video to plead for those antique quilts! Some once known woman ( though not exclusively) poured her love and life into making that quilt. To be destroyed that way is a heart break 💔 . Cudos to the lady who made her coat from scratch with quilt blocks. 👍♥️
In our malay culture, we address our in-laws the same way as our spouse would address his or her parents. It's considered disrespectful to address them any other way. I love your podcasts and look forward to the Mondays that your podcasts comes on. I am a day ahead from the US and only get to listen to your podcasts at night or the next day. Keep up the good work. Love the loving mother-brother-sister relationship ❤️
First of all, I do enjoy all three of you and your natural rapport with each other. Quilting injuries: I was cutting up strips of fabric to make pandemic masks for my grandson’s class in 2020. I was not seated properly and so I got careless, and I ran the rotary cutter up over my ruler and cut off part of my pointer finger on my left hand. I didn’t need stitches, but it took WEEKS to heal, and they couldn’t attach the bit I cut off, so I have this oddly-shaped finger now….🤷🏼♀️ Soooo, a friendly reminder to make sure to use proper hand/weight distribution, AND don’t be distracted, when working with ALL your quilting tools! Thanks again for fun (and educational) podcasts! ☮️🧘♀️
I am new to your podcast and have enjoyed the q & a. When I’m using a solid for a background I of course cut off the bolt a little more than the pattern calls for. When I’m done cutting I take the extra and make any or sizes such as 21/2” sq, 5” sq or 21/2 strips. Then I have 3 clear containers labeled with my popular 3. Black, white and snow. And stick the cut pieces in that then I end up with great pieces for a single block or sometimes enough for a small lap quilt. The pieces also come in handy when I’m using a seam ripper and I accidentally cut the fabric. Just became a subscriber and look forward to catching upon and “binge watching”your channel. Happy Quilting, Melissa
I cut my hand Feb. 14, 2018... and got stitches... cut a nerve.. so weird tingling all the time in the hand... so luckily still have full use... my quilting habit is still in full swing!
I love your videos. I love your fabrics and shopping at the Fat Quarter Shop. I get my favorite designer fabrics their including your fabrics. Thanks for the stories you all share. I too am blessed to have a great family. Write your book(s)!
I visited a quilt shop with a family member who was a graphic artist, from another country, and had never been into a fabric shop of any kind. It was fun to watch and hear her comments...total amazement.
I just loved this episode! I love to listen to you interact because the fact that you are a close family is evident. Sadly I am one of those Yankee fans you mentioned in the podcast. However, all is just fine since I received my Emma Project yesterday. I can’t wait to get started on one of these quilts. Thanks for your podcasts, your fabrics and your creative projects. You are all just great!
AWESOME episode! Many great laughs and such delightful stories. Such fun interactions between the team; keep them coming! Also, in your next book, maybe you can add in a poem or two.
Chelsi, go Astros! My son lives in Houston and the whole area is going crazy with the World Series this year. Love all of you. Thank you for sharing a part of your lives.
Susan in Miami, I just ordered the standing desk from flexispot thanks to Sherri’s review on it. Thanks for all you guys do and I love your podcast on RU-vid, I love the bantering and enthusiasm of your family. God bless.
Chelsi I love all of the patterns you design and color choices you use. I love you and Vanessa Goertzen so much, maybe because you two are young quilters like me❤
Ok you two. Sherri, I purchased your Planner and Workbook. I have read it literally from front to back and back to front. We are staring at each other. I’m determined to start it January 1st even though I could start it now. Chelsi, I understand why you don’t have it,; however, you need to support your mom and buy it. I’ll use mine, if you use yours Chelsi. I “dare” you to buy it and use it. 😉😉
On the topic of saving white scraps.....I made 2 project zipper bags (I believe you have that pattern), one bag is Kona Snow and the other is white white. No prints, these bags are made of solids. I store extra pieces on those bags. Because the bags are white and off white, I can see if I've put the scraps in the right bag. I made a baby quilt the other day with only scraps of white!
Great show Sew much fun! Listened on way to take my husband to his 10th vascular surgery and really needed the humor and laughs today! Thanks to all three of you today for a great time and lots of laughs 💕😘😘😘
I might have missed an update a few weeks back. I had wondered if Sherri got a Juki yet, and if she likes it. Then I saw it on the desk review episode. Also I purchased the Ultimate Flying Geese Ruler based on Sherri’s review and tutorial. I am a fairly new quilter, with minimal rulers. Thanks to all of you.
One more comment…. Chelsi, I love your coffee table / floor design trick! 😅 My years for such moves has past LOL Sew happy we’ve got some amazing young designers, such as you, these days…. I just received my Emma FQ bundle 💥😀
All of you make me laugh so much. This is a great pod cast ...well all of them are great. I am from Ohio and watched all the professional baseball and football games but when I moved to Florida all I was finding were college games. Only in the last couple of years because of cable tv can I watch professional games and I do not know the players so I have no interest any more. I guess quilting has occupied all my time. Made a small halloween quilt, and treat bags for my grandchildren and now have finished Christmas stockings for my daughter and her family. 3 quilts in progress. So am busy. Thank you so much for your podcasts. The three of you make a great team and I love listening to you with my coffee in the morning.
Really enjoyed this episode! Laughed out loud on the confusion of calling your dad / in laws. It is funny to hear calling your dad by name in my culture, but it surely not disrespectful. You guys are amazing, love the family bond and the fun chat every episodes.
I'm so glad you are involved with quilting Sherri instead of a attorney. I love your fabric lines with Chelsi. As for baseball I grew up a Giants fan but have turned into an Astro fan. Go Astros. Thank you for your podcasts and blogs. Can't wait to see what your are designing Chelsi.
I absolutely look forward to these podcasts! Sheri and Chelsea are adorable. Personally I am happy they chose to do what they do because they are such an inspiration to quilters…..although I am sure they would be good authors too lol
First, I love all of you and think you are all hilarious!! Especially this episode, r/t Chelsi calling her dad Bill. I think I laughed more during this conversation than I ever have with this podcast and maybe all podcasts I have listened to. :). I am so glad Billy didn't cut it! 🤣😂🤣 My comment is to Chelsi and I say this with love. I am a mother and I would not want my kids to call me Cyndi. When I was growing up we knew another family where the kids called their parents Bill and Linda instead of mom and dad (except in the South, especially back then, it was Momma and Daddy). I just thought that was the most bizarre thing ever and couldn't understand why they did it. So Chelsi, just go back to calling Bill dad. xoxo I really do love all of you. I admire the relationship you all have and am a little envious as my daughter lives 650 miles from me. Some days, I just can't listen because it makes me really miss her. But I always come back to it the next day or two because I love it so much. You are all very blessed and you are blessing others, me included, with what you give us. Thank you so much for all your hard work! 🙂
I sewed thru my finger nail “once”. I calmly took a pair of pliers to my son and told him to pull it out. I refused to go to the doctors to take care of it. My son was freaking that was still thread in the needle in my finger. I told him it was 100% cotton and it would just rot. Lol Nail looks fine and my son survived!
My Blue Jays 💙 did well but not good enough and so some ' tweaks ' are needed for next year! Chelsea that you watched 6 hours of bb...is a good start to learn coaching re Moda.
Go Astros! Texas girl here pulling for the better team in Texas. Rangers fan but, they aren’t so hot lately. Great call working with Moda! Have you found a certain type of fabric sells better? Example, small print, medium or large? Or backgrounds? I love that so many of your fabrics will work well with your other lines. It is heartbreaking to not be able to find a certain fabric while making a quilt. At least I know I can look for an alternate in your recent line. Do you design more quilt patterns for bed size or more for lap size? Happy Halloween!🎃
Can’t imagine not having a design wall. Mine is just a piece of batting but it works. All of my replacement parts don’t allow floor layouts. Lol Great podcast, thank you
You both are great authors! Publish. Go for it...think of all the hundreds, possibly thousands of pages Sherri has already written on her blog. Naturals. Happy holidays
Please let Chelsi get “dramatic” and excited. So often she sits back and is not as engaged. I enjoyed this burst!! Blue collection Please!! And Thank you!
A friend cut her fingertip bad with a rotary. She went to ER and the nurse was the daughter of our long arm quilter. That fingertip has been dead since. Go Phillies!
New to your channel and I'm obsessed. I learned to quilt with my Mom 30 years ago. Along came kids and activities and I put it aside. Empty nest officially now so I am back. Any suggestions to get me started again? I feel a bit like a beginner.
Chelsea, I get it. If conversation with your spouse is always about “Bill” (or “Bob”? I don’t quite recall) and not about “your Dad”, pretty soon your brain gets tired of translating “Bill” into “my Dad” and takes the shortcut to “Bill” all of the time. While “Dad” may be a term of respect, it is also a term of social relationship and sometimes a term of endearment, depending on the nature of the relationship. It is a complicated term in our culture. But “Bill” is a pretty standard name.
So if I like it I buy a fat quarter bundle, and then 2 other that I like that I buy a 2 yd piece and a 3 yd piece. Certain designers I buy half yd bundles and more yardage for borders.
THANK YOU for obliterating the Yankees!! Red Sox fan here. 😉- please take this in the spirit of friendship and friendly competition. I have lived in Massachusetts, then New York, then Montana and then Connecticut. My closest brother was a big Red Sox fan. He died before seeing his beloved Red Sox win the World Series. When I was born he was 4 years old. He would explain every game to me (while I slept). He would tell Mom, "bring that baby over here" when a game started.
I agree, call your father dad! 😃 When my DIL asked to call us mom and dad, I said ok because I saw it as a sign of love and acceptance but privately thought it was a bit weird. Three years later I'm still getting used to it. And I notice that our son calls her parents by their names.
Not gonna lie, I started wondering if Bill is Chelsi's stepdad 🤨😂There was one too many Bills for me and I got confused😵💫 My husband and I watch the podcast together and he thinks you guys are so cute together and he loves your relationship (me too). I learned a new safety rule, don't iron in shorts while sitting down. I have an iron burn scar on the side of my right calf because I dropped the iron and it grazed my calf before it hit the floor.
