You must realize this is your career. And you are very successful. Chelsi you have a young family and Sherri being a mom and grandma just expands your role. I think y’all are definitely A+++! Well done.

@rachelburgener819 Год назад

👏👏👏very well said ❤️😀

@idabrandon5054 Год назад

What a show, you two amaze me in what you get done, the goals you have set for next year and grading yourself on this last year. You both should get A+ in my eyes. Thank you for making me think about goals for my next year.

@gretadoute1090 Год назад

I think because Billy isn't. A Quilter he should give himself an A for his hard work on the podcast

@lisegagne3716 Год назад

Love these podcasts and the family dynamics

@gailnash298 Год назад

Every January I make pet beds for Furry Friends in Jupiter FL with scraps saved throughout the year. The dogs and cats are so happy to have a nice comfy pillow/bed to sleep on. I have enough scraps stored in bags in my garage now for about 20 beds! Simple, fun and easy to make! And for such a good cause!

@rachelburgener819 Год назад

That’s so wonderful, perhaps you or A Quilting Life Crew could give more info, sizing, suggestions… on this project that seems really well received!!! Something to get the littles involved in too. Most everyone has or knows little people🥰 Thank you ❤️😀

@UpstateGrammy Год назад

As a new quilter, I look forward to that January episode!

@gentlemoment Год назад

welcome new quilter its a magical world enjoy and the podcast from A quilting Life are super good.

@deannamey5986 Год назад

I just saw the new fabric line and I couldn't be more thrilled for both of you... and for myself. It's gonna feel like forever before I can sew with this new fabric collection. But that gives me enough time to save up to buy a bunch. I Picked out 3 of your new quilt patterns to get me started. So excited. LOVE it.

@StitchingisElementary Год назад

Love these goal videos you post each year! They definitely inspire me and help me to move forward positively with new goals and to let go of the old! It made me think of something I heard once and always say to younger women in my life who feel like the need to do it all." You can do it all, but not at the same time!"

@jaewagoner8679 Год назад

Can you please write out the Emerson quote or tell us where to find it? Thank you for all you and yours do to make our days brighter and hone our skills. 🌲Merry Christmas!

@mollyfox3752 Год назад

I love the print fabric in the sashing in the quilt on the wall. Enjoyed being with you!

@cathyblood6864 Год назад

Billie says there's no pressure making something for animals. Well, every time I start a cat quilt my cat Archie has to sit on it and look at me like "Hurry up and finish this for me mom!" So I end up letting him sit on one intended for someone else and then I gotta go wash it and get the fur off. I swear that cat is psychic!

@nikkireynolds9514 Год назад

Billie, every quilt is a real quilt. You sew, boy! I can hardly wait to see.

@jpetttube Год назад

I enjoy your podcasts. It always gets me excited to start new projects. Thanks for sharing your creative talents and skills.

@marlahanks7278 Год назад

Chelsi, I was surprized you'd not heard of crumb quilting/crumb blocks! I know y'all stay so busy with designing, etc., I'm sure you may not have time for crumb sewing. I've been doing it for several years years now & it's so freeing & "mindless" sewing. Jenny Doan talks about doing this pretty much every morning just to get her juices flowing 😊😊 Billy-you'll come to realize that dogs LOVE quilts 💗💗 My Shih-Tzu would lay on any pile of fabric I had out while sorting it. One time a friend had acquired from someone else quite a stash of fabrics. She brought the sack over, we dumped it out on the living room floor to go thru it & there he was "helping"!!!

@joyfullyjustine Год назад

I am a brand new quilter and am so excited you will be talking to us. ❤️

@gentlemoment Год назад

welcome Joyfulily Justine new quilter -its a great magical world and Sherri and family are truly inspiring

@collettekoll5204 Год назад

Not sure if you read the old episode comments, but one thing I do at the end of the year with each project I worked on through the year I make a little quilt from those pieces. Choosing a quilt pattern that can handle different fabrics. It brings to mind all those projects. Thank you for your podcasts. I feel connected instead of srwing alone.

@rosejackson8 Год назад

So proud of you Billy with wanting to make quilts for animals! I have been watching for quite some time and love Sherri &Chelsea's videos. There is a veteran who has a RU-vid channel called the Quilting Marine, who makes crumb quilts and i think he would inspire you all even more to use scraps to make dog quilts. I wish you all safe and happy holidays and am looking forward to Billy's quilting journey. You all have inspired me and i thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

@nildamager1649 Год назад

Love the animal quilt idea 👍

@anniedurham2737 Год назад

Oh and Billie you make a big impact on the presentations so you are amazing too !

@szelop Год назад

I make kennel quilts from fleece, flannel & or quilting cotton. I use batting scraps inside or make beds using a pillowcase for scraps then make a separate cover for the whole thing for safety!

@gailwhitaker4670 Год назад

I so love that quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is so true that we have to let things go sometimes and move on. I LOVE THAT! Thank you for bringing that quote to our attention. It's going to be my motto from now on! You three give me so much hope!

@gentlemoment Год назад

so much agree with you Gail great quote for year 2023 and each podcast i listen to gives me life

@anniedurham2737 Год назад

Give yourselves an A ladies because you both are so amazing!❤️

@chrislittebrant5235 Год назад

Hello Sherri, Chelsi and Billy, This is my second time watching this video, I feel it’s so inspiring I wanted to be reminded the things I felt would be good for me to include in my thoughts and goals for the new year, personal and my sewing life. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful videos. I am always learning, 🥰❤️👍 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, 🥰 Chris

@cindyloumasera4858 Год назад

You ladies and gent are so inspiring. Thank you for all you share.🧡

@slim215 Год назад

Sherri I would like you to put a list of books that you were reading and your goals up. you are such an inspiration and I would like to read and be inspired and inspire others like you do please document the list

@TiffMar328 Год назад

I am so excited for the new collection!

@nildamager1649 Год назад

I love your podcast 👍😍 I am so inspired by the three of you. I am retired, but need to set some goals. … more reading is high on my list. Goodreads is a great idea. My primary hobby is quilting, but I want to learn to knit next year. It’s portable and more gift options.❤ Thanks. 👍😍

@ginabethyoung3276 Год назад

Our Guild has everyone save their fabric scraps and make a dog bed at home which is donated to a shelter. I used upholstery fabric to make a pillow which I fill with scraps of fabric and batting 20x20. It takes me about a year to fill. Also I have been to retreats where someone brought a pillow case where everyone dumped their scraps to be used for dog and cat beds.

@loraparker3235 Год назад

I usually make pot holder from my spare off cuts. Kind of a reminder of the projects I have done…like a usable scrapbook.

@cindyfoust1183 Год назад

Love this! Go Billy!!

@karynellinger769 Год назад

Mug rug or cat quilt. Lol! Awesome Billy!

@hehasrizenful Год назад

Thank you guys so much for the inspiration. Absolutely love your channel. Love your patterns thank you thank you.

@AllisonNorris13 Год назад

Im behind of episodes but yes! I found out through my Quilt Guild to make animal beds from scraps... They instructed to use old pillow cases but I made my own because I wanted to make one with cute animal fabric (and to make different sizes) but they donate them to local animal shelter - it also helps the animal transition into their new home because it has a scent they are use to 🐾❤️

@gentlemoment Год назад

thanks for idea of how to use old pillow cases my motherinlaw left us

@lindakQOV Год назад

I'm loving hearing Billie's excitement about future quilting ideas. I agree that when you have a reason to quilt, it makes it much more enjoyable. I've always had a favorite donation project that I enjoy working on. I've done many children's quilts for various organizations, and the last 18 years I've been engrossed in Quilts of Valor. After all, family quilts are wonderful, but when the family is "well covered," it becomes time to think of new reasons to quilt. BTW, our local animal shelter has said "no more dog beds" because so many of us have overloaded them! :)

@kristenhills Год назад

Please do a segment on your channel where it’s the three generation of quilters. Sherri, Chelsi, and Ashton and it’s teaching Ashton how to quilt. I think it will help a lot of beginners ❤❤❤❤

@ginabethyoung3276 Год назад

Also tell about Sherri’s mom.

@carmenmaldonado6486 Год назад

I’m so excited about your new quilt along for 2023. I love your fabric and patterns. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@janeberridge3784 Год назад

Happy Christmas, Sherri, Chelsi and Billyl Thank you so much for all the interesting and enjoyable posts this year xxx

@quiltnanny2011 Год назад

I bought the Cozy Earth sheets. They are good but pretty expensive even with the coupon.

@TheMistea Год назад

I sure am hoping for the bloopers! I’ve been waiting. Your goals are amazing, all of you. Live Chelsi is being realistic for her season of life.💕

@gentlemoment Год назад

thank you so very much for your podcast and blog and emails it has brighten my days thur 2022 and added to what i think of quilting "its a magical world! " Looking forward to your special session. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you all and also other people who comment

@tracyvirginiabeach8069 Год назад

Hello from Virginia Beach. Just now getting g a chance to watch this pod cast. I Love watching you 2. I miss my mom a lot it’s been awhile (2006) but I still miss her. Anyway you all are the best as is Billy. Billy and Chelsea need to do some tutorials together.

@lesleymeyers962 Год назад

I'm so motivated 🙌 Thank you both

@pyenygren2299 Год назад

I would L-O-v-E to see Billy's animal quilts. 🎉 🥳 🐶 🐱

@baseballquilter8984 Год назад

Your first episode of the year is my husband's birthday! 🎂 Looking forward to your live stream! Thanks to you all.

@nikkireynolds9514 Год назад

As a working mom, I can say that I always felt that I was failing everyone: not giving enough to my family and not giving enough to May job. As a society, we need to move away from that.

@soniac.9085 Год назад

I've had this pattern for a while now. I'm glad you're doing a sew a long with it. I have not made it because I was waiting for the Simply Delightful collection to come in.

@nhager Год назад

The Quilt Pattern magazine has a program to let people know what organizations need kennel quilts. They have patterns and examples. They are sent to areas that have been hit by a disaster.

@nikkireynolds9514 Год назад

From what I’ve read about behavior modification, it is absolutely critical that we experience success. Success gives us the energy to try again. Repeated success gives us the energy to try more. Therefore, goals should always be set to be achievable. Sure, 12 quilts in a year would be a great achievement for some of us, but getting to 12 quilts in a year requires the ability to do at least, say, 6 quilts a year. Once that has been achieved, perhaps 7 will be possible, and so on. We need to set ourselves up to succeed, and that will support our growth over time. (Yes, I know this, and yet I so often fail to follow this precept. Humans - we are so illogical!)

@tammyingle233 Год назад

I love to take my quilt sandwiches, when trying to "perfect" my quilt designs, bind them & give them to my dogs. They love them. Thanks for all of the videos, patterns, and most of all, the laughs!!

@maurawilliams2808 Год назад

Have you ever done a podcast or a video of how you design fabric?

@jaynebromley Год назад

There is an organization called Kennel Quilts where people make kennel quilts for cats/small animals who are impacted by hurricanes, weather events. You might check that out.

@emilygibbons9216 Год назад

I love the idea of making the dog beds for beginners! Might need to add that to my goals for next year! Loved the whole episode thank you!

@coribeckett7400 Год назад

Since reading is such a priority, what about starting or joining a book club? I can see myself doing that next year. 😊

@karenwood2928 Год назад

I make pet beds from scraps too! Looking forward to the Happy Go Lucky sew along. Already ordered the pattern, and can't wait for Simply delightful to ship. Wondering if I somehow missed the live stream with the new fabric line? Will it be posted on the channel eventually? Thanks!

@karena7950 Год назад

I would love a Happy Go Lucky SAL in 2023!!

@montanakath7987 Год назад

Sherri, how is what you do a B-? You are amazing in what you get done! Thank you for inspiring me.

@cathybarnes8303 Год назад

There's a book called NO SCRAP LEFT BEHIND that uses small pieces. I have two in the works.

@cherinamcfadden4232 Год назад

So my New Year's resolution each year is- BE A BETTER ME. This is so anyway I improve is attainable. It helps me be kind to myself. I will make lists of things because I work better with lists.

@elizabethmurphy1978 Год назад

What happened to the double wedding ring quilt? I was hoping to follow along.

@gillyanderson2494 Год назад

Regarding reading: I’ve kept a list of all the books I’ve read since I was 16, I’m 67 now. It’s fascinating looking back to see my reading history.

@almagrogan5169 Год назад

To fill the dog beds you can also use the socks, that the dryer ate one of. Everyone or most everyone has that box of socks that are missing a partner.

@brendawall7846 Год назад

Cedar Hill Quilt Guild collects scraps at their retreats and makes dog beds for the shelters

@deniseg7340 Год назад

Another awesome episode - always look forward to "hanging out" with you all! Love the idea about pet quilts - a crib size is probably just the right size - maybe one of the smaller lap sizes for large dogs. Seems like a great way to use up smaller cuts of fabric and the perfect opportunity to try out Free Motion Quilting or some of the walking foot techniques along with using those left over pieces of batting (using batting tape to piece together small pieces into usable sizes).

@maryfriedley4074 Год назад

Just listened to pod cast if you do dog beds ask the agency where you are donating, most of them do not want stuffing or polyester batting in them. Just so you find out do and don't s before

@christineplumstead Год назад

I didn’t even know there was a Facebook page! I just asked to join. If you want to grow the page maybe more publicity on the pod casts. Love your pod cast. Great job! 🥰

P.S. I couldn’t find the next show that was supposed to air on December 14th, 2022. I looked on the blog, through the shows on your channel at RU-vid, through all my incoming video and wasn’t able to find it.?. Thank you, 🥰 Chris

@KTquiltsandsews Год назад

Please please "A+" s for all of you! All three of you are awesome and have delivered much joy to almost 100,00 people. 😍

@deidrapowell8762 Год назад

Animals totally feel. I work with a few rescues. All our animals are rescues too. I wanted to make dog beds but was told by a shelter here they cant use. I will ask a few more. I have been saving scraps for a while and still haven’t filled the one i started which surprises me❤

@debbiebrugman4543 Год назад

*DOG BEDS FOR VETERANS: my friend Jackie was a U. S. Marine 🇺🇸 Every year she participates in Stand-Down San Diego. This event is for homeless veterans, veterans at risk of homelessness or unemployed. One of the things Jackie does throughout the year is make dog beds to gift to veterans in need that have dogs as companions. I save all my quilt scraps, clean old towels and t-shirts, sweatshirts, anything soft, etc (cut up) for her and I collect from others. One idea I am currently working on was in a comment from Zane Ruby in episode 71. I have an old clean T-shirt hanging on my sewing chair and as I am working on blocks/quilts I place the cuttings and trimmings and smaller pieces of batting in the neck. When it is stuffed I’ll sew the neck up.

@cherieiduke1723 Год назад

When I volunteered at the dog shelter, we would NOT take those scrap dog beds... the dogs chewed holes in them and made a mess... if they come open in the washer it jambs the pump

@lisastack4875 Год назад

This was not the first time Vegas Val's home and sewing area have been mentioned. I would love if you could convince her to let you at least film her sewing area. This is a popular topic so I'm sure lots of people would be interested!

@awa1179 Год назад

I heard you mention a Happy Go Lucky Sew Along. I’m excited about that! Is it already planned with dates, or is this just in the planning stages? I ordered my pattern before I knew about the sew along, but haven’t picked out fabrics yet.

@teresatierney4817 Год назад

I really want to make a pet bed. How small do the scraps need to be? Do you quilt through it like batting? Or is it more like stuffing? Let’s sew along.

@tracyvirginiabeach8069 Год назад

Iam getting ready to retired in a few weeks so. I will be more active in here and sewing alot.

@cathyblood6864 Год назад

Maybe Billie can be a pattern tester for my small animal quilts. I have lots of original designs. I keep meaning to put them out.

@christinemoore5547 Год назад

I feel like I have joined to many sew alongs and feel overwhelmed to keep up. I have all the patterns printed out from 2022 but have only done one quilt block. I have no idea on how to keep organized to be able to complete any one of the six sew alongs and now with all the new 2023 sew alongs coming out….I feel wow this is way more than I can ever complete at my age. I have also picked up cross stitching and now I have fifty six starts in progress and have only got three completed. I love everything and love doing it all but the pressure has overwhelmed me. Any suggestions on how I can try to stay focused especially since life sometimes have other plans. I think I really need some help. I do have so much fabric to be able to finish all my quilt alongs. I have stopped buying fabric because I have literally filled six very tall book cases full and that is not counting the four plastic huge totes full of backing material. Please help.

@Sylvia907 Год назад

I know this feeling. I’m putting 2 years of blocks together to catch up. Your not alone

@dko3623 Год назад

My suggestion would be to pick out just 2 of the Quilt Alongs - one that is easy for you in skill level and has fabric and pattern you enjoy. For the second one, choose one that has fabric you love but stretches your skills or is a pattern/blocks that you have not done in awhile. You can alternate between the two, depending on your time, energy and mood.
