Suggestion...a Magic Marker or any regular ink pen will normally “bleed” on any fabric. Strongly suggest signing backs of any quilting squares, fabrics, etc with a Pigma ink pen. (Pigment ink) They are colorfast I believe and will not bleed .
True. I was hoping they'd make the marking on the batting and not the actual fabric, but I did not specify that, did I? I get so flustered when I make these videos. On my next video I will definitely correct myself. Thank you for pointing that out. xo
Now you've got me thinking! I think I do it in two movements if it's around the edge of something like this. My grandma taught me. I'll blame it on her. ;-) lol Thank you for watching!
I saw an exhibition once of inchies on canvas. Made an amazing huge wall display. Ive done lil cross stitch ones years ago. I will of course join in. X
This is a great idea Lauretta, l have heard of these years ago but never made them, such cute little pieces of art, l will add one to your piece when l send it so l would like to enter this challenge too. Hugs Susanna xx 😊❤🧵
What a wonderful idea!!! You have created very beautiful Twinchie & a 1/2's! I really love the glass button idea, you are so correct, there aren't a whole lot of things you can use them in/on, these are perfect to use them on! I am excited about creating some of these too!!!
These are so sweet!! Just love the look. ❤️. Oh, I’m excited to do an inchie for you! I’ve never won anything! And I’m not whining! But it is so much fun to think you would have something from me! I am working on my square from your kit.
Fantastic! Just shoot me an email and I'll give you my mailing address. I can't wait to see what you make. (I am making a prediction that it will be FABULOUS.) :-) xo
I am going to give one a go. I’m not a stitcher, but what the heck. I don’t have to send the first one! In paper crafting theses would be twinchies. Inchies are actually 1” square. I used to swap the paper ones quite a bit. Great idea!
Thank you so much, Rhonda! (I've always wanted to see the Blue Mountains in Australia. Every picture I've seen of them, they are just gorgeous.) Thanks for watching and take care! xo
Hi Lauretta would absolutely love to join, I love inchies mainly 1 x 1" but in paper, but oh yes a fabric piece in the size you requested absolutely would love to make one. Will email you tfs ❤
Hello Lauretta, came over from Monique’s and I love these inchies thingy . I would love to join in and will email you later and thank you for long timeline 😊 , oh and I have just subscribed 😉 Tfs, hugs 🤗 ivy
What precious pieces! And what a good idea to have you subbies mail you one. You’ll end up with quite the eclectic piece and I am already jealous cause no doubt it’s gonna be something to behold! 👍🏽😁 Count me in. Do you want it on batting or whatsmecallit? Not being a sewer and/or quilter I don’t have that 😕 Maybe I’ll look into getting some... Felt would do too you said. Great! I don’t have that either 😂 I will figure something out. I think the objective of some kind of backing is so the thing won’t stretch. I mean, makes sense, all inches being proper you don’t want a sagging one in amongst them! 🤪😂 Have a super Sunday. Hope all is well with the new family edition (and your house slippers!). Be well, take care ❤️
Oh, Gwen . . . the slippers have all bit the dust! Along with a pair of flip flops, shoe laces on my son's shoes, my husband's reading glasses . . . a pencil . . . It's an adventure! Please don't feel like you need to purchase anything special for the Twinchie. If you don't have batting/wadding, or felt or flannel, just use a regular old piece of cotton to baste it onto. Email me and I will send you my address. Thanks a bunch! xo
Hi Lauretta, I just discovered your channel and am really enjoying it. Your work is beautiful! How do you cut your perfect circle, square and hexie shapes? I want to try the inchies!
Thank you, Vicky and welcome! I use a rotary cutter for most things with straight edges like the squares etc. The circles, I use a gadget called a circle cutter from fiskars. I hope you try making them. They're super quick and fun. Take care and stay safe. xo
Hi Lauretta, i would love to participate in the challenge. I have never done anything like that , but i am a sewer so i dont think i would have a problem. I am so glad you will give this enough time as i am in lockdown and the number of cases are over 10 thousend a day. Its very scary at the moment and i cant go out. This second wave is much more in cases than the first one beginning of March. I cant get to the postoffice because we are not alowed to go there. But maybe i have the time to make you enough twincies for a whole quilt.lol I will email you. Tfs Hugs xxx Sonja ( I like your email adress)
Awww, that's so sweet, Sonja. Yeah, I'm really hoping Covid numbers will calm down by January. If not, I'll just extend the date. Take care and BE SAFE! xoxo
Hi Lauretta, i keep sending you emails but it keeps saying the email address is incorrect. I send it to the address you state in your description. Can you please tell me what your correct email address is? I don’t know how else to contact you for your address. Hugs & blessings
