I'm so glad I found your channel. Now I have some ideas of what to do with my wedding dress fabric and trims/buttons.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you found it useful!

[@judithdaus6083]

THANK YOU! Wonderful ways to use lace & trims!

[@kimbeckner9240]

That’s a running stitch, Arne! ❤️. Love your scraps. WOW gorgeous!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you

[@elisabethkeane9988]

I love how you work together . Like my husband and I. I realise you are very talented people. I also have a lot of talent. I wanted to show you. Because you asked to see peoples work. I hope you both recover from the flu . I sew I had a shop. I also crochet and knit. Draw do pottery and paint. But e are all learning constantly. I have worked on panto costume. But patchwork is so inspiring to me as well. I love journal making . But my first love is my children and grand children. But I can show you my evening bag if you like.

[@velmad3091]

Amazing work you do, cute with the little flowers. You always make me smile. Carlos you looks stunning in red color.

[@dianepiatt5503]

Snow is falling behind you. ❤️

[@pilarpilar1559]

Hei Arne and Carlos 💜 Thanks, this's so beautiful.

[@bestcrossroad]

You’re both so sweet. Love your patchwork with laces!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you! We will do an quilt update soon.

[@JohnlynHD]

Your quilts are wonderful. Not only beautiful in their design but loaded with memories. It’s amazing that you have kept so much from previous generations and treasured them. You must make sure that your family appreciate these items and take care of them for future generations....even your amazing dolls, mice and dolls houses. I love them all.❤️Angela

[@vintagesouthernpicks3555]

Very inspiring! You have such pretty crazy quilts. Happy to see 2 guys enjoying the art!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@catnapper3923]

Hi guys! Love this. I want to quilt; you are good teachers. Xoxo and thank you

[@judyzeigler3980]

Lovely, it is very interesting, open ups so many ways. So beautiful. 😊

[@elsiereyes9510]

Just “found” you guys …enjoying your videos and “vibe” so much…instructive and inspiring… thank you so much for sharing your craft and skill

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome to our channel Elsie!

[@rosesbaker]

I just discovered you!!! Oh my goodness I'm having such lovely flashbacks of my wedding dress in 1967... hand cutting the flowers from Chantilly Lace to hand applique onto the bodice and sleeves of my dress, with hand placed pearls that randomly followed the lines of the motifs. My mother made my beautiful dress with a drapping train... and created my lovely head piece and veil. We just celebrated our 55 Wedding Anniversary this past Christmas Eve (2022)... please keep sharing. Cheers

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome to our channel Rosemary!

[@angiedivaris769]

This popped up on my you tube today and I loved it. Thank you very much for all your creativity ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gjmiller138]

Very beautiful and delicate, your work is lovey as always.

[@daisyroe5372]

Lace your grandma made? Wow! If you know how to make lace, please show us. Thanks for sharing. This was very special. Thanks again.

[@quiltingforthesoul]

Thank you for sharing I’m going to do a crazy quilt. So I’m watching a lot of videos on KZbin . I have some many projects going on I need a stress relief. Thank again God bless you and your families.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Happy quilting

[@veronicabrandolino1823]

Beautiful sewing 😊

[@mariabergmann9084]

You are motivating me so much. I have a ton of fabric even some scraps from Liberty of London and can't wait to tackle a crazy quilt..I am too a sucker to buying old fabric and lace in thrift shops and the cupboards are bursting by now. Thanks for sharing your awesome ideas,

[@patriciacoughlin1654]

A million compliments to you both. Arne and Carlos. 👍👍👍💖💖💖👍👍

[@mistyblue5312]

Wish I lived next door to both of you. So much fun! Could u pls do more Norwegian Christmas cooking videos? Love all your talents!

[@rosehill5097]

Very cool and beautiful!

[@lw3396]

oh you are making crazy quilts which is my favorite past time. I am much more inclined to this type of art than knitting, so this works great for me. Lovely work you are doing

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@carmenbailey8209]

Inspired for sure, thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@virginiaspencer340]

So beautiful, you make it all look so fabulous- who would have thought of mixing up all those fabrics and lace!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@lottiefaith6935]

I was so happy to see another crazy quilt episode pop up! It can be quite consuming. I find myself eyeballing bits of lace and fabric everywhere. I've recently started a hoarder's crazy quilt to get rid of some of the material I hang onto to use someday...I have family clothing or material I just like that I never use but can't bear to part with. I am cutting a hunk off and making a square, I'm not worrying about color or placement, I can make it pretty with the embellishing. It is a use it or lose it quilt!

[@hibird357]

Come to my house and we can have a sew party. Ive totes of clothes I plan on making into crazy quilts for my kids now into their 30's. And one dear 👼 never finished her quilt. Anyway lots of love for ypur quilts.

[@ailishhalford4461]

The stitch you used to attach the flower is called a running stitch. Nice video thank you. Lots of inspiring ideas.

[@elizabethtaylor4448]

Great video guys. So inspirational. I really feel like I need to tell you that you can get sharpeners for scissors. Look on Amazon. Fiscars make one that will bring new life to your scissors. You don't have to buy new ones. Let's be sustainable. Xxx

[@mariaruiz3848]

Wow love your work. So delicate and beautiful. Thank you so much for the lessons

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@helennorbury9765]

OMG you two are so relaxing to watch. Thank you again for another fantastic video xxx

Im loving the scrappy block quilting. I found you through watching Kate @TLHH.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome to our channel Rita!

[@jacquelinerhoden4428]

Thanks for sharing. I got some insight of how to do an assignment.

[@rebupc]

I hope someday we can see the finished quilt, the laces and the fabrics are lovely and your work is so beautiful!

[@vickiserre9457]

I absolutely Love 💕 these lace ideas!! I just found you today and will keep following.

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@susanarellano2364]

Awesome lace scraps….

[@deniseconsiglio-lahti6443]

You two have lots of patience . Thanks for the video and sharing your talents.

[@chronicstitcher7933]

That's a really neat idea.

[@janikabertone3209]

Good to know you have good scissors. Now go find them. Love your videos💞

[@andreasobocinski2158]

Just found your channel in my selection choices as my interest in patchwork Grows. Very unique vibe that I enjoy as you collaborate.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome to our channel!

[@oliviasifontes9060]

Precioso trabajo. Me encanta. Bellísimo. Your work is beautiful. I love it. I’m your fun.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@fleurdrose5504]

Thanks, good ideas!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@peaceloventaurus518]

Arne, you are so intricate in your cutting. I enjoy listening and watching you two very much. I have many laughs every time. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I think this would make a beautiful bedspread. They don't sell bedspreads anymore around this part of the U.S.A. If you want a bedspread, you have to make it (or hire someone to make it for you). You are working with a lot of fabrics that I would never wear. However, I do have some fancy scraps that I need to do something with. Thank you for this lesson.

[@elizabethharris6504]

Okay, I'm inspired now. Thanks for sharing! I just found you 😃

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching.

[@26debsterdots]

I actually have a crazy quilt top done and waiting to be embellished. It is very bright colors with black. Thank you for the inspiration here in this tutorial ! You are both amazing !

[@kellyhipkins5616]

Wow so beautiful

[@helengannon8855]

Lovely work you both have an eye for beautiful things and how they work best together.

[@szumikovski]

OOhh, this has so many potential applications...bed spreads, pillows, vests, purses- la! the possibilities!

[@busybeaver793]

I just discovered your KZbin channel. Now I will definitely need to start a crazy quilt. My bucket list is getting longer!

[@lisagilmore4519]

Hello guys, great video. I quilt but have never attempted a crazy quilt this is inspiring. Have a great evening

[@paulinehunt4069]

OMG You really have to try crazy quilting. So imaginative. Masculine or feminine. These guys are great. Just found them. Have subscribed. They have come the closest to what I am looking for. Thanks guys.

[@paulinehunt4069]

Just did one for my husband Old jeans and plaid shirts and a little girl baby quilt, Old jeans and lace with pink roses.

[@maylien]

We are, as always, your appreciative fans!

[@annamariaquagliero6932]

Thank you for your fantastic. video 😄💐

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@monicabermea7652]

You both inspired me on the last video. I made some crazy square blocks and embellished with some decorative stitching in different colors but didn't have any idea how to embellish more. I looked all over KZbin for ideas and when you popped up I was amazed. Thank you so much!! 🌹

[@puffyjo]

wow its snowing there already. we in Canada will be getting snow soon, Well this was really inspirational I just got a new sewing machine for my birthday last week and I can't wait to look around and find some material , and i love thrift shops , so that's where I will looking . thanks guys

[@kaylaralph7041]

The antique handmade lace is simply beautiful- a real pleasure to see.

[@bonnierinks3206]

I love the look of the crazy quilt. I think I may use some family heirloom items and make Christening blanket.

[@artiejohnson703]

Just found your channel, you both do beautiful work. Thank you sharing your time with all of us. New Subscriber, I am new to lace embroidery on quilt squares. ❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome to our channel Artie!

[@tonyastokley5165]

Your both really awesome souls ! Ty for sharing your creations ! I’ve subscribed to see what fun your having ! Ty

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome to our channel Tonya!

[@gloriaadams8776]

Terrific video. I love crazy quilts, especially with lace. It is so nice to see that you do value special laces.Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@jayathome2898]

Hi I thought of a great use for your antique lace. Place it around the bottom tier of a white wedding cake for members of your family, or baby christenings. It will be in all of the photos that your family takes, so each occasion will have a little "piece" of the lace to cherish. The top tiers can be cut and served, and then the lace removed before serving the bottom layer.

[@maryalgar8779]

Ooops - saw the snow later in your video. You certainly have a beautiful stash of fabrics and lace. Lovely to have something your Grandmother made.

[@lyndasnart7823]

Once again a great video with good information I always look forward to your videos from Australia 🇦🇺

[@stitchersdelight]

Thank you for another enjoyable video. There is something so soft and romantic about lace, you can change the entire feel of a piece just by adding some. Beautiful flower in the background as well, have a joyous, relaxing week !

[@fussygirl65]

I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my quilt scraps thanks for the upload!

[@donnashirk295]

I’d love to dig in their stash 😉

[@ARNECARLOS]

You would find a lot of surprises.

[@donnashirk295]

ARNE & CARLOS I’ll be in Paris the 2nd week in March, any shopping recommendations?

[@marywilson6760]

Another inspirational video from you both. Your cream and white quilt is absolutely gorgeous. A stunning heirloom. I love the pink, and blue colours on the block Arne was sewing on. But my favourite is the piece next to it with the red flower and green leaves. Every piece will be unique. Thank you for another enjoyable video, you explain things so well. Thank you.

[@marywilson6760]

Thank you Arne and Carlos. Will be watching next week. I have your videos to look forward to every week now. Thank you :-)

[@claudiaforrest6669]

Gorgeous work!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Claudia!

[@zcvvabbovvida1585]

OH! I learned so much watching you both....TY for taking time to help all of us to improve our methods. I live in MN...60 miles south of Canada. I am disabled cannot drive any more. With the Big stores blocking the use of food cards to smaller states we need to make all we can from old clothing. My patch work quilt will keep out the 50 below weather! I do not have lace or other frills but I try to do the flowers by hand. God bless you.

[@antoinettemccollum729]

You make shopping for fabrics take a different view. Such luxurious laces, beads and such. Love your way of patchwork.

[@gloriaf7648]

Thank you for sharing and inspiring. I envy your creativity ( and your stash of fabrics ) ;)

[@alisonmary1443]

Your Grandmothers work is simply gorgeous, I will be waiting however long it takes to see this being used in a project, if of course you will be sharing that moment. Now I think Freya needs a Nanny, I am old, I will love her very much and you can pay me in fabric scraps lol :D but seriously I very much enjoyed this and thank you both so much for these teachings. I am halfway through the baby shawl and I am very nervous about washing and pinning it but the Fine Lace Wool is beautiful to use.

[@jeanjohnson7221]

Once again I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful.

[@paulinewqi]

You both have a treasure trove of the prettiest stuff in life.... Thanks for sharing...😘😘

[@lescreasdevivi2092]

Bonjour a vous 2 je vous remerci pour ce superbe partage j ai adore bravo je m abonné à votre chaîne 😉👍👍👍👍😗

[@roseflowers935]

Oh, it looks like it is snowing from looking out the window behind you! Thank you for another lovely video, I look forward to many more. :)

[@helenbugsynelson]

I was mesmerized by the snow coming down outside as you sit cozy in your house, working on your patchwork projects. How much snow did you get that day.. It looked like it was coming down wet and heavy. I live in southern British Columbia where we do still get snow in the mountains around us and the skiers love that, but I'm just as happy if it stays up there on the mountains. Many times I have wanted to use my tidbits of lace that I have kept from many projects over the years, but I was always afraid I would either ruin it or miss it because all of it has special memories for me. My mother has remnants of lace that her mother and grandmother made by hand. It comes out to be admired from time to time, but I know Mom would never dream of actually using it. Mom is 86, so you can figure that some of that lace is probably close to 100 years old by now.

[@francinerollin2184]

Hi Arne and Carlos, love the lace crazy quilt, that is great no waste of fabrics, lace and even silk ribbons. Thank you guys for sharing and have a great week.

[@susancychowski582]

I just found you two love your beautiful work hello from Australia 🇦🇺

[@kathybretl5280]

Thanks so much, as always, for your amazing inspiration!!!

[@donlyons8520]

How do you attach the backing fabric to the finished embellished front square to anchor them both together? Also do you not find that cutting into a line of some of the lace strips it leaves an edge that frays.

[@dianescott3515]

Another great podcast! I’m envious of your amazing stash 😊

[@msareli1]

You guys are adorable!

[@carolynveith9167]

I really understand you saving your grandmother's handmade lace for something special. I have several pieces made by my great-grandmother, and I'm still looking for the exact project to use it on. I also have my grandmother's wedding dress, made in Paris and is made of alternating strips of fragile pale pink silk ribbon and lace. The dress is over 100 years old, and the silk is disintegrating in places. Maybe in another 100 years I'll be ready to just recycle the lace. Oh, wait.......

[@sheryltisdale]

Awe! The antique handmade lace is beautiful! Love watching you guys, thank you

[@missmaryh6932]

Gorgeous quilting thanks for showing us the delicacy. Love the way you do those items. Lovely to watch. BEAUTIFUL textiles,you have such excellent taste.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Miss Mary H Thanks for your lovely comment!

[@annieboulton5759]

Just the best. Lace, lace and more lace. I buy everything in my local charity shops that are lace. Love sitting with you two guys whilst I am crocheting. I do quilt though too. So many wonderful fabricey crafts to do but not enough time lol xxx

[@moniklds]

Hi Arne and Carlos! I could watch you do this for hours; I so enjoy it!!! I love also, the clearness of your videos, it adds to everything else that you do, it must be your camera or something but it is sooo clear and all the colors around you come out beautifully. Keep cutting out squares and laying them... Thank you both for sharing these beautiful 17 minutes! Love to both of you from Argentina ❤️❤️

[@dorindacontreras1094]

Always love when you share. I always appreciate when you share your grandmother's work. It is so inspiring. She must have been more than an amazing woman. I don't know how she found all the time to do such cool things. Dairy farms are so much work. Thanks for the fabulous tutorial! I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Knit Stars tooooo! Yahooo!

[@wengweng8476]

so wonderful the layers !!!!!! it gives it such an beautiful touch and every square is so unique and very green i think il make a memory quilt for my daughter using bits of my grandsons first years baby clothes xxxxxxx thanks so much xxxxxxx your both so wonderful xxxx

[@-ANDREA--]

OmG Arne, applique?, appliquee?omg you make me laugh !!!! I love you guys !!!! Can you frame those antique lace? and admire them everyday?

[@joannahayes2009]

As usual, I loved it. Very inspirational :-) I also have a lot of lace and tatting heirlooms, from my grandmother and great-grandmother. Some of them need some tender care, but I think incorporating them into a project is a wonderful way of preserving them while also enjoying them, instead of them being stuck in a bag forever!

[@angelikaimnaehglueck]

I agree totally.

[@sarojm893]

Oh wow. This is awesome. You have the most fantastic fabrics and laces Arne and Carlos. Thank you for showing how to use them most effectively without waste. So very happy that I found your channel.

[@cathy1703]

I just love your crazy quilt videos. I always wondered how to make one. I’m going to start one with my collection of fabrics and lace bits! Thank you for the inspiration 🌷

[@debsievert4766]

Very inspiring. 2 years ago, my parents moved from the north woods retirement home of theirs into the city, into Assisted Living. I have my mother’s wedding gown. She no longer cares about it, but I can’t part with it. Carlos, you & Arne have given me such inspiring ideas for this heirloom! Lots of tulle, lace, and shiny satin! The gown is nearly 70 years old now, and I will be using it for memory projects for her granddaughters. Christmas balls from wedding gowns is a category on Pinterest. Maybe you 2 would want to try some as well! Your white, satin and lace layered patchwork is stunning!! I’m off to try my hand at it! Thank you again.

[@rosemaryl.]

Love you Two. I enjoy Crazy Quilting also!

[@lizryan6289]

I love your work and I will be sewing a crazy quilt soon. 💕💖💖
