I grew up thinking all quilts were made from two layers of fabric with wool laid between because that's what we made in school on the borders60+ years ago aged about 7. They don't teach kids really usefull things any more it seems. Patchwork was an alien thing I learned about when learning about history. Eventually I came accross strange USA practices of purchasing New cloth ! in order to make quilts rather than cutting up old clothes. My Nain was lazy and used old blankets as wadding rather than gathering wool from hedges but at school we were told to bring in our own harvest to make our pot cloths as gifts for our Mamau

I enjoyed watching this video. Your explanations were very clear but I would have liked the written sentences to have stayed on screen a little longer to have time to read them especially as the light colour partly disappeared into the background. I'm looking forward to watching your embellishment video. Thank you

Hi! I could really use some help with a vintage sewing machine 😅. I recently got a Anker automatic rz deluxe and i don't know how to make it work. Btw I don't have the cable for it. I don't know how to take care for it exactly, like what oil to use and so on. After a few days of trying, i got the thread in the right place, but the problem now is that the weel doesn't make the rest of the machine work. Could you please help me? 😅❤

What is the hoop stand you are using?
@eleanorbirchellhughes2 ай бұрын
@@qltygrl3187 Hi, it's a stand for embroidery hoops which sits on the table top, I think I found it on eBay. It's great for small projects that fit in an embroidery hoop but for a full size quilt you would need a specific quilt hoop stand, I think they are available in floor standing or one you sit on, hope that helps 💚

Hello Eleanor. Have just subscribed to your channel and have been delighted with your tutorial about making a needle case. Yours is the only one I've seen that presumes that viewers know nothing about the topic (and I didn't). This then made your fabulous beginners instructions easy to follow. Thankyou so much because now I feel confident about giving this new interest a go. I am a patchworker so do understand about fabrics but had no understanding really about the construction of the project from the absolute beginning. I have many lovely pieces of old lace and embroideries and now feel confident about putting them to good use in Christmas gifts etc. Thankyou so much from Australia for your help with this. Do hope your hand is better by now ❤️

The quilt being so lovely is the main reason I watched the video. I don't know how to be an exhibition judge, but to me part of the "quilting" is the way the top is put together. Some quilts don't need a lot of stitching through all three layers to be complete. So in short, I disagree with the judge who remarked about the quilting, and the one who said color isn't applicable. Also you have a lovely storytelling voice that draws the listener in to the story about Aunt Edie.

These are stunning. The shade of blue used is one of my favorite color palettes; I used to have Blue Willow style kitchenware. Like many people, I have been looking for ways to use pieces sewn by my grandmother and mother.

I am so excited for you. Not only are you able to have a solution for your health issues but you have a vintage Singer! Your repair man is going to be so thrilled to see your new machine. I was lucky this winter and got a 1946 Singer 201 and it was crusty and clearly had been in a shed or an old storage building for decades. When I took it to Steve (who also waxes poetic about vintage machines) and he unwrapped it, it was like being with a kid on Christmas day who got their favorite present. I am a new sewer and just finished my 5th quilt top and second complete quilt, all made on my Singer. Take care and enjoy. Looking forward to seeing what you make. Cheers from Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes (!) and hopefully the next VP of the US, Governor Tim Walz. And yes he is a down to earth as he appears. All the best to you Eleanor.
