Susan, I have made many grandchildren wedding quilts(I wasn’t quilting that good when the kids got married). We’re a blended family and the gnd kids all seemed to marry about the same time! So, I’ve made 5 so far, the same pattern but personalized. If you ask them they will want double wedding ring quilts and the ONE I made for hubby is my first and last one. It took a year. I use Jan Patek’s pattern Morning Song I probably picked up at Houston International Quilt Festival years ago, appliqué and piecing. I personalize for each couple, from Texas, LA, Colorado and even London! They’re very nice, queen size and their favorite colors. Also, they don’t take years to make😉 Have fun, Lonnie Schlough in Texas Aka Cleocat

Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of your sons wedding! I can not wait to see the quilt you will fashion for them! It will be amazing…there is that saying the cobblers children have no shoes..lol..You will have such beautiful wedding memories dancing thru your head while you make it! Love listening to your story of Corliss..in honor of your sons wedding, maybe the young girls can get involved in helping a bride to be prepare her trouseau..what items did a young bride need for her wedding…no Bed Bath and Beyond registry back then. Thanks for all the eye candy!

I am glad to see you back! I too am interested in knowing who created that beautiful green fabric! I think your conversion on the Little Pear Tree is stunning and am hoping you will consider sharing it at some point. I love what you are doing with the hexies and you have given me some ideas of what to do with mine. I followed every adventure with Mary 1840 and look forward to every chapter in Corliss’s adventures! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise on these videos! Congratulations to your son and daughter in law!!

Awesome video!

Beautiful projects and ideas, very inspiring. Your fabric is beautiful for the EPP, can’t wait to see what you decide. Corliss and the sewing circle story was wonderful, I can just imagine her going there the first time with all her sewing. I can’t wait to see what she will do next, possibly a group quilt? My son got married last October and from July to October it was a whirlwind but to see them on their wedding day was absolutely joyful. Congratulations and I am so happy for everyone. I wanted to do a wedding sampler as well but couldn’t find the right one. So I decided to do samplers from the heritages on both sides. Of course I had to start with a Scottish sampler, we even got a bagpiper for the wedding. Working on a Quaker sampler now, going to do an Italian, German and hopefully a Russian sampler. The Quaker is almost done so not sure when I will give it to them yet. But they both love all my samplers and always are interested so I am sure your son and wife will be too. A wedding quilt sounds lovely. Have to order more EPP for I gave mine as gifts which were very appreciated. Thank you for sharing your projects and stitching.

Sounds like the wedding was so sweet! Congratulations to you and your family, Susan! Love the progress on the hexagon quilt. It’s going to be beautiful!

Hi Susan . I wanted to let you know that Vonna Pfeiffer has a tutorial in the issue 2021 Summer issue Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher with Blackbird Design United We Stand. What a great idea about getting started now in celebration of our Nations 250 birthday. I love your color choices with your quilts.

Always enjoy your videos and stories. What a beautiful couple. Being a mother of 2 newly wed sons, I completely get your feelings. Congratulations!

So glad I tuned in today to watch your video! I live in NC and was unaware of the quilt collection now on exhibit at the NC Museum of Art! Road Trip before the exhibit closes July 21st. You always offer such interesting information. And congrats on your son's wedding!!

Wonderful! Just two years ago we had a family wedding. A year of preparations and whoosh! it's behind you. I can relate to emerging from the wedding bubble. They are a very handsome couple. Good to see back. I loved the backing fabric on the blue ground you're considering for "Liberty Rose," so pretty. I look forward to your next Corliss installment. ❣

Congratulations on your son’s marriage!! So happy to see your floss tube 🥰. THAT Hexie quilt, 😍😍😍!!! I have no words as to how very beautiful that is!! I tend to only be drawn to small prints HOWEVER, after seeing yours I am awestruck as to the fabrics you’ve used that work so beautifully with each other! You are such a fabulous needleworker & your eye for color is so more advanced than mine. I always want red/green all the time. You are like the Professor and I feel like a pre-schooler coloring for the 1st time 🤣. You are amazing & I love your stories & Flosstube. My brain is in a jumble! AND I have my 4th granddaughter 💝 coming this fall 🥰. I’ve gotta get it together, got a sampler & another blanket to knit. These hands are starting to rebel, but that’s not an option! I’m sure the Wedding Sampler quilt for your son & DIL will be treasured by them! Can’t wait to see your progress! Sorry that I’ve written you a chapter in a book (sorry about that 🥴) but I just enjoy everything you do & you are SO very inspiring to me, and soothing & comforting to listen to! Ok, I’ll hush….God’s Blessings be with you till next time!! Donna in GA

Beautiful wedding, congratulations! Enjoyed your update on Corliss!

What a lovely video from start to finish. Great wedding photos, and clearly a beautiful, joyous day. Thanks for sharing, Susan!

Such a pleasure to see you back on flosstube Susan! And what a gorgeous wedding - I'm so happy for you all. Really enjoying the story of Corliss and I can't wait to see how the quilt progresses as well. So glad you're back, there's such a hole in my flosstube life without regular Susan videos!

You know Susan, i love the story you weave around the stitching. I really enjoy that. I hope you keep doing that. And I'm glad you shared pictures of your son's wedding here as i don't have instagram. Such a beautiful couple.

Oh, Susan, you were radiant at your son’s wedding, such a lovely couple. As always, I enjoyed this so much. I have been visiting with Eva, David and Vince, and completed my first hexi-flower. I will post on Instagram. It is very relaxing and something I can do easily as we sit and chat. Love the story telling, and Corliss’ journey. Thank you for sharing your creative expertise, my friend. ❤❤

Love Love Love that green fabric !!!!! can you please share who its by please it will probably be out of stock but I would like to know. It is so enjoyable listening to you. Thank you, and I love the blue chintz and your hexagon quilt

What beautiful wedding photos, Susan! Thank you for sharing - and all best wishes for your son and daughter-in-law as they begin their married life. 💕

Love this. Especially doing the fictional ladies. They’re fun to hear how they stitched back them. Congrats on your son’s wedding.

Great video. Always enjoy seeing you and your beautiful projects. Love the haul. Oh the wedding pics are so good. Thank you for sharing.

So wonderful!

Lovely episode, Susan! I especially loved your hexie project, having two of my own in the works at present! Thank you for sharing glimpses of your son's wedding...wishing Congratulations to you and the happy couple.

I so enjoy your stories and I have your kit for Mary’s doll quilt. I love the hexagon quilt you are making and the colors are my favorites. You are so very talented and I wouldn’t miss one of your programs or tutorials. I have studied the women of the civil war and use lots of reproduction fabrics. You keep me inspired when I lose my desire to quilt. Dona in Oregon. 🧵🪡🧵🤗

I absolutely love the changes made to the Scattered Seeds project to go with your fabric. It’s going to be stunning (as Brenda would say). Life is too short to work on something that doesn’t make you happy. I don’t like the thought of time wasted on something that I’m not crazy about. Why stitch on something that doesn’t make you happy when you could be working on something that makes your heart sing?? Great idea on making a quilt for your son and new daughter!! I’m so sure they will love it as much as you love making it. I am stitching on GigiR’s Maria, Joseph and The Donkey as my Sunday stitch and am doing the entire chart. I’m almost finished and as soon as I finish this model stitch for TabbyCat, it will be my focus to get it finished. I’m loving it!!!

You mentioned the project did not make your heart race. I say I have to have a relationship with everything I make. It talks to me. And if I don’t have a relationship with it, I don’t wanna make it. I’ve only had one picture that I really, don’t have a relationship with and it’s because I don’t really like the thread. I’ll probably change it out and get something different. I made a picture 40 years ago. I started it. Worked on it constantly. It was half done. And I just put it away because I Wasn’t having a relationship with it anymore. Then I decided to throw it out. But something told me not to. So I kept it about 1015 years later I dragged it out finished it would you believe it’s one of my favorite pictures that I have in my house now. So I understand we have to love and have a relationship with what we have can’t explain it to people if they don’t have it with their pictures but I have it with all of my pictures. I like that green fabric too. It looks really cool.

Hi Susan, this tutorial is so thorough and precise, thank you! I've never been able to follow seeing a ladder stitch done as well as you demonstrated. I'm getting ready to start Grandmother's Flower Garden in reproduction prints. I haven't commented in awhile but always enjoy learning from you ❣️ 🪡🪡

Susan, I just came across some youtube videos made by "The Quilt District." She tours the Sewn in America exhibition at the DAR museum in DC and is hosted by Alden O'Brien (I hope I got that correct), curator of the exhibit. It is very interesting, and I hope you get a chance to view it.

What lovely interviews with Miss Jean and your two new friends. Thank you for doing that!

Yes! I save fabrics to touch and look at. Eventually I will use them 😊. I love your lessons and stories! Thank you so much! Enjoy your family time and celebrations!

always such a joy to hear your latest instalment of the girls sewing journey, good luck with all the wedding plans and congratulations!

I so enjoyed listening to more of Corliss' story. Thank you for the time you've dedicated in researching and creating her world. ❤

Enjoy the wedding! How exciting. 💕

Oh Susan Congratulations on your son’s upcoming wedding! So exciting for your family. Once again I loved all that you shared. Hope to see you soon.

The Quilt Digest on KZbin has a video, Sewn in America part 1!

I love your videos. They are so informative. I have learned so much watching you and you have sparked my passion in quilting especially for reproduction fabric 😍😍

I know what you mean about saving fabric you love. I do that too and just recently I had a quilt top machine quilted and it’s on my bed. My poor husband, if he’s heard it once he’s heard it many more times than he’d ever like, hears me lament how I wish so much that I still had yards and yards of certain fabrics I see in that quilt. I know that I should be enjoying and thankful that I have those fabrics in that scrappy quilt but oh how I wish I had more so I could make more things with those fabrics. I love what I love and apparently I need tons of yards of it! Love your story. Those hexagons are somewhat like potato chips, you can’t just make one! Enjoy this wedding season and see you when it is over.

You are so fantastic and I love so much! You bring so much joy to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m so grateful for you. I couldn’t be more sincere.

Absolutely brilliant, Susan. I love following the story of the two little girls. You are such a treasure. Best wishes on the upcoming wedding. Such a happy time for family. Thank you for sharing and keeping me company. ❤

Wonderful tutorial, my friend. I can’t wait to give this a try. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge. ❤❤

Loving the story and congratulations on your son's wedding!

It always makes my day to see a new flosstube up from you, Susan! It was so enjoyable to sit and stitch while listening to Corliss' story, and I can't wait to hear what's next. Selfishly, I will miss your flosstubes while you are focusing on joyful life events, but so much love and happiness to your son, and I hope you have the chance to fully appreciate and soak in all the joy of the coming events.

The DAR exhibit was wonderful. Took a trip to DC from PA to see this exhibit as well as the stunning Amish quilt exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Well worth the travel! Also just planned a road trip to NC next month to see Layered Legacies: Quilts from the Museum of Southern Decorative Arts at Old Salem.

What a delightful story you have created about Corliss and the sewing circle. It was so fun to hear you tell it. Congratulations on your son's upcoming wedding. I know it will be a beautiful and memorable event. Enjoy yourself and we will see you next month! Pam Miller

I love hearing about the Sewing Circles!

As a avid book reader all my life, I have enjoyed following your fictional story in these videos. Not to mention all the beautiful stitching you share:)

Love hearing the story.

Fascinating, as always. Susan, you are very inspiring.

Hi Susan, I'm ready to make my quilt sandwich (thank you for all the tutorials to get me to this point and beyond!) and I'm trying to select a backing fabric. I have something that is in the style of ticking, (not in thickness) and because I have a good size piece and not just scraps like the rest of the quilt I was considering using it. Was that something that would have been around for Mary to use in 1840? Thanks so much!

Susan, how I love your style, your imaginative stories with historically accurate , critically researched material. Your individuality is so refreshing, your manner and conveying of information so relaxed and welcoming...I look forward to your videos....R

I have been sewing them for years by basting through the paper. I have 265 made and wish I had seen this method . .hahaha... I love that its easy to remove the papers. And that the basting stays in... Thx sew much😉😆💕
