I really appreciate you showing the thread jam parts. making art always has it's challenges and it's good to see how you manage! ty ☺️

[@demi6342]

This was so helpful! Thank you so much. I've never made a memory blanket before but I do sew and have a sewing machine and my brother in law asked me to make a memory blanket for his son's so your tutorial was extremely helpful. Thank you ❤️

Of course!!

[@mgs783]

Oh a wonderful revelation for me...I have a mini pair of blue jeans I will incorporate into my son’s memory quilt which is over the years memories of his adventures! Thank you for sharing your techniques and thought process❣️. That baseball onesie is adorable. Great idea using the back of the other T-shirt as the backing for the onesie! Such a special project.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

I am SO glad this video sparked some ideas......that's one of the reasons I love making these videos!!!! I really hope you keep me updated on your memory quilt, that sounds exciting :)

[@wendymckeogh7841]

[@veracampbell9583]

Thank you so much for this tutorial

[@marges8631]

Love this block. Would love to see a series on making a memory quilt using baby clothes!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Thank you so much Marge, maybe that's something we can do in the new year :)

[@ilovemeidastouch]

would love to see ea block done & whole thing put together

[@carmenbailey1560]

Awesome job. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@anitra7747]

I love how your videos are polished but still Real! I had to invest in a hump jumper to help me sew denim and bulky seams. My machine will skip stitches unless I lock the foot in place or use the hump jumper. This was such an inspiring video! I love to learn more techniques and you are full of tasty morsels! Thanks Lisa!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

I always am so glad to hear from you Anitra, you are so appreciated!!

[@annashmead2029]

Thank you for this. I have never attempted a baby clothes quilt, and I have a few outfits from 47 years ago of my sons. I am going to do it now. Your video was helpful & encouraging and thank you for "keeping it real", that does help to know it happens to us all.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@crownwisdom4]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this applique process to KZbin!! I LOVE that you "kept it real" with your thread jams! I'm working on a onesie quilt for a little girl I used to nanny and your video has been invaluable! I'm not on Facebook, so I REALLY appreciate you posting to KZbin! I've subscribed and would love to show you my work in progress if I can figure out how to do that! Computers are NOT my strong suit! Thanks again! Best, Steph

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

So Helpful, Thanks

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You're welcome!

[@deneseswackhamer7767]

Thank you, Lisa! Love the idea of stuffing the feet of the onesie! I've always had issues figuring out what to do with the footie onesies' feet. I don't know why I never considered stuffing them. 🤪🤣

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

I know right....the little stuffed feet??!!! Super cute!

[@susanschleede6591]

Thank you so much. I am going to be appliqué-ing an outfit on a block and had no idea how to do it.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

so glad this video was helpful for you Susan, thanks for watching!

[@eexner4242]

Thank you for showing us your struggles! Have I missed the video where you show how you put together those quilts that are not in “traditional” rows?

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Check my video play list for my past videos.

[@selvienaickerwherecanibuyt6324]

Thanks f the video like to see the finished one n do u cut of the extra blue material when u quilt Thanks ❤

[@patdaughety-vs3rw]

Hi Lisa, love your tutorials. How do you quilt your baby clothes memory quilts? Thanks Pat

[@TaylorWestbroek-z3k]

I love this!! I’m working on a quilt with my favorite outfits of my kids baby clothes 💕 once finished with the blocks and everything, how should we go about quilting it? Tying? Or how would I machine quilt it (my mom has a machine) would you just go around the baby clothes and only quilt the extra space on the block? Thank you!

[@conniejurgs9427]

Thank You Lisa, this is so very helpful for the client quilt I'm working! Happy Thanksgiving! You are so ver giving of your talents & helpful videos!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Hey Ms. Connie, I'm so glad this video was so helpful for you :)

[@Amal2365]

😍😍thank you for sharing

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

my pleasure, thanks for watching & I hope this sparks all kinds of ideas for you :)

[@patdaughety]

Hi Lisa, Love your tutorials. Do you quilt over the baby clothes when you are quilting the quilt?

[@Love4Scrapbooking]

Hey Lisa, I came across this tutorial and wanted to say thank you. I was unsure of how to add small items like this to a quilt and this was very helpful. By the way, the piece of paper in the top right corner with the numbers on it, is that the pattern you came up with for this quilt on how to lay it out?

[@thedenimlily]

Lisa I am about to start one of these quilts for my 2 year old grandson. Have a question about how you would quilt a block like this? I’m thinking about quilting my blocks individually putting them together with sashing. But these outfits are small but still pretty big to only quilt outside the the garment. Any advice you could give me would be appreciated.

[@karaholland7249]

Do you have to use a blanket or zig zag stitch? I have a straight stitch only Juki machine & would love to sew full baby outfits into my quilts, but I didn’t know how it would hold up with a straight stitch...any pointers?

[@donitaseiler7243]

do you have a video of how you quilted the 3d memory quilt

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

No, I'm sorry I didn't film that part because I ran out of time

[@southernsewingco]

What type of stabilizer do you love for the back of the quilt blocks?

[@sprklhair]

wondering,,,,, how are you going to quilt these blocks after adding the batting & backing?

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Hi Debra, I have pictures on my Facebook page of this quilt all finished if you wanna see :)

[@crownwisdom4]

@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Hi Lisa, Would you consider putting it on KZbin as well, for all 3 of us Non-Facebookers!!🤣😅

[@francesmartire1110]

When will you be doing the next part?

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

thanks for reaching out on Facebook, I look forward to talking more with you

[@berthajackson6440]

I never quilt before what type of fabric do you use

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Hi Bertha, typically we use cotton when making quilts, however....you can make a quilt with all types of fabric, you just need to know how to deal with them all.

[@frogkermit3639]

Did you glue the snaps shut?

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

No I didn't glue them :)

[@BernadetteSchell]

Can you show us the whole quilt finished?

[@tarajohnson7411]

How can I add a bby hat to a quilt?

[@tomib6186]
