Welcome to Quilting Window with Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts! In this first segment of Quilting Window, Edyta shares her techniques and tips for using Laundry Basket Quilts laser cut "Fabric Silhouettes".
I don't know if you will ever see this, but I just wanted to tell you that I have never seen such amazingly beautiful quilts in my life. You are a master at combining colors and patterns, and at creating appliqué designs. God has blessed you with such an amazing talent, I am so thankful to have seen these. The beauty you have created has actually brought tears to my eyes, Ms Sitar, really and truly. I am completely overwhelmed. May you continue to create for many, many more years...thank you so much for sharing your talents with us all.
I am SO thrilled to be able to watch quilting tutorials by you. You are such a great designer as well as a great quilter and teacher. It is a real privilege to be get this type of training by someone at your level. Thank you SO much.
Thank you Editya you are such an inspiration. I am trying to put together a memory box for my grandchildren and a quilt that is unique and represent each one, but retains the elegant "true" quilt style. Over the years they have sat beside me with their own sewing box or getting up to use their sewing machine gramps bought very cheaply in a spotlight sale (new $99 last year 2018!) To see an eight year old have the confidence to get up plan out her work and sit down and machine stitch is such a joy. She visits with a list of items to make now because she has a small stall once a month at school to raise money for a charity. Because they have watched you and at the ages when they started 7 and 9 they were sponges. I was so hard on them they had to earn a needle for the machine Yep, I did! They both had to tell me what everything did and why and all the safety first information and last of all sew with no needle in - I did that to show them how quickly it is to loose concentration and then feed your finger under. As soon as they passed the needle ceremony was a big deal for them. Sorry to be so "wordy" but I wanted you to know that I learned a lot from you and you have also taught my grand daughters who are now 9 and 12. Thankyou.
Wow, have watched and listened to many videos on applique. You make applique seem so wonderful and looking forward to using your technique in my future applique projects. You made me feel relaxed not anxious and impossible to do this and other projects.Thank you so much, I hope to see more of your work.
I am a new quilter I saw your video with the specialty quilt design for accuquilt! :) I cant wait to start!! :) I just ordered my sewing machine and I am super excited!! I want to learn both hand quilting and sew quilting.
Thank you so very much I learned a lot, and your quilts are absolutely amazing, would love to so some of your patterns! You are amazing teacher! thank you again!!!
I am discovering you and your work and I am so impressed. A local quilt shop has sold me one of your quilts--Spring Sprout and I am having so much fun with it. Do you shrink your fabric when working with batiks and also do you press the finished blocks from the back? Thank you for being so talented. I will be making more of your quilts. I absolutely love them.

Wow! I've never seen anything so beautiful! I just stumbled onto your quilts a couple days ago and I want to do one!! You make it look incredibly easy and fun! Brilliant! Simply brilliant! I love quilts with birds (and flowers of course!) This is perfect. One question about background fabric...which batik did you use? I suppose any sort of neutral would work...and nd how much yardage? Thanks!
This has to be my favourite pattern Edyta - are you getting more of the Spring Bouquet pattern in? I have a few of your beautiful pattern books and love them!
Hello Maaike, thank you for watching my video. The pattern can be found here on our website: www.laundrybasketquilts.com/online-shop.html#!/Spring-Bouquet/p/34455362. Happy Quilting!
Could you tell me what your settings for zig zag and blanket stitch are? I have a Bernina, and it looks like yours might be too. I haven't done a lot of applique, so this would be a big help to me. You do amazing work!
Edita, all your projects are excellent. I'm from Russia and my bad English can not convey my excitement. I study at the master classes on the Internet. How can I get all that you offer, especially the books? How can I be your apprentice? With love from Russia
I like the pattern and the colours but not the hole process. We have forgotten to use our hands. Applique and quilt is much better by hang. It also gives you joy and relaxation. Cut the fabric by laser , use nylon threads sew it. Ιt is not the normal way to make handicrafts. It is a way to make something fast and easy. but without any spirit in it.
I have degenterive joint disease and my thumbs are not stable so i am unable to use scissors to cut the small pieces. i appreciate some one doing the cutting for me so i can make the quilt. it is not a fast way for me. it is truly the only way otherwise i wouldn't be able to indulge in my favorite hobby of quilting. so please don't be so quick in criticizing
Thank you Edyta, I'm inspired, just purchased my 1st block. "Ready Set Go" as you would say lol 😀 ,wish me luck!!!

Edyta could you please tell me does main patterned for the flower bouquet come with all of the flowered pattern blocks in it so if I want to use my own colors and fabrics. That would be the pattern that shows the full quilt on it. Thank you
I would like to order the blocks of the month, but I would like to hand appliqué them. Is this possible? I love the laser cuts and you are such a great teacher. Thank you 🌺🌸🌷
