I also have house blocks in a plastic container that I made last year😂 Thanks for reminding me about them.

[@sageabovethemoon21]

Thank you so much for sharing this!! It was enjoyable and so affirming for me to know I really am not alone with my many projects at once” approach!!

[@carolmclean2294]

Thank you for sharing your quilting space and ideas with us! I am a self taught quilter and your tricks of the trade are so useful. Really appreciate you paying it forward to the quilting community. We need to keep this beautiful craft going so we can pass it down to the younger generations. Oh .... btw I just got your collection of clover hollow fat quarter bundle delivered today and can’t wait to mix it Corey Yoder sundrops!!! Blessings to you and yours!

[@rhondaschraub771]

Second time to view. Terrific ideas. Will implement a couple of more tips. Thanks!!

[@angief1330]

You are so easy to listen to, I enjoy your chats, thank you.💚

[@colleen6960]

Thank you, I really enjoyed this video, & found it very very helpful!

[@jeanniesaunders3195]

Great ideas! I look forward to watching you every day. 😊

[@nancyheneghan4760]

Love the idea of writing down all of the works in progress. My list will be long but like you said revisiting the list will give you more incentive to try and get a few more done. Thanks for that idea.

[@C12133]

Thank you, Sherri for all of your great ideas!! I signed up for 4 Blocks of the Month, so I feel like I could benefit greatly using your ideas. You and your daughter’s fabric lines have been so beautiful!! I love the village pattern that you are working on, I think it was one of the first patterns that I bought after learning how to quilt. 😍

[@christineplumstead]

Today is a GREAT day! I received my first ever purchased fat quarter bundle. How exciting is that? But it gets better it is Summer Sweet! 😍. I ordered it on line and when it was delivered today I couldn’t have been happier! Love all the fabric line, I am going to use it to make Lori Holts Farm Girl blocks! 💕

[@rebeccaforbes8629]

Thanks for such good suggestions! I feel like I have hundreds!! of WIPs and I love your ideas. Thanks and stay safe. :)

[@starbrown1219]

Great ideas as always. Thank you.

[@angelastoutenger7944]

Just subscribed to your channel. Don't know why I haven't done it sooner. You have such a soothing voice! Great to see that even an experienced quilter has WIPs. Have been purchasing the Art Bin containers recently and love keeping my projects in them. Currently working on a pieced backing for what I'm calling my Stay At Home quilt. I have sewed some bigger houses but wanted a small house pattern and the download will be perfect. Thank you Sherri.

[@rmcrms5]

Wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing some great tips.

[@cj6337]

Thank you Sherri. This was awesome. You have inspired me to refreshing my way of keeping track of my works in progress. I am also in addition to my list going to take a photo of what I have completed so far of each project. Thanks again CJ :)

[@MsDjvinson]

I just finished the binding it was a fun quilt.

[@kandaykerr3653]

I have the quilt journal from FQS but I think the sheets will work for the prior projects. 😁 Thank you for the information.

[@debbielee7117]

It is a lot of fun to see other peoples WIP. Very interesting!

[@tenawolfe6863]

So glad I found you. I really enjoy your KZbin!

[@BlueEyesBrittany]

Great site and quilts

[@withrowjeanette5787]

Thanks for video. Much needed info

[@anna-mariedavies7678]

Just found your channel! Great video, thank you!

[@juxydoss6750]

Just started watching. Enjoyed your presentation so much. Will continue to watch.

[@aida5112]

For some strange reason, I am smiling warmly throughout this vid. I wonder why?

[@denisenewman5986]

I have been using a wipe off board, but I like the sheet much more. Thank you.

[@pamelacarter-wiley2644]

Just subscribed to your channel and really enjoy your videos. I have just downloaded the free house quilt instructions. Thanks! Also have your new planner and see that you have incorporated many of the tips you present here. Just love it!

[@-sstevens5444]

Getting back to quilting after 20-years. . This was helpful in so many ways. I use pizza boxes from Amazon [14" square]. As I locate material and blocks from classes so long ago. I have been looking for the 'House' pattern too. 👍💜😎

[@barbarakempen2482]

Thank you, I need help keep project together & on task to finish them up!!

[@donhardman6919]

Hello from New Zealand Sherri, I am a subscriber and I love watching your videos. First and foremost I love your very first point you have put in your website "I Love......."which is God and this wonderful world, and you love your husband and family. Just so lovely to have found a like-minded person. Please continue to stand firm in Him and your quilting videos. Blessings to you Sherri. Thelma

[@floridastitcher1]

I’ve been looking for a way to label my bins. Thanks for the tip

[@marybradley168]

Hi Sherri great video for a newbie like myself there are a lot of fantastic tips. Thank you for sharing.

[@kimberlygray227]

Great topic

[@rachelstone9026]

Great video! I am subscribed to your blog & have read all your organization posts, they are so helpful! Thanks for putting this into video format, getting a visual is helpful & inspiring. Would you do a video explaining how to pair fabric scale & quilt patterns? Also, what are your tips for choosing color? Thanks, Sherri!

[@GeminiPeg]

I subscribed to your channel recently and I’m trying to get caught up. Thank you for the great organization tips.

[@jojorey6886]

I usually make three quilts tops then I begin quilting them and I finish them. I’m afraid I won’t finish projects because I’ve been known to do that with other crafts like knitting. I was working on my third quilt top and I ran out of fabric, I ordered more but won’t be getting it for another three weeks so now I have WIP. I did realize I do like making different blocks, I didn’t realize this until I started the Little Miss Sawtooth quilt pattern, each star is different and I really enjoyed it. I’m going to begin doing that more now instead of racing through repetitive blocks. I love all the quilts that you show us and I’m going to start the little house quilt.

[@rholandaboland7868]

I tried the link for the maker valley list and it says 404 page not found so I think link might be broken. So I went to their website to have a look and can't find it there either

[@alaskaway9076]

Just found your channel. Really helpful tips. Love the UFO challenge. Thank you.

[@kellyhipkins5616]

Wow thank you for being so detailed on this. And the link to free pattern is no longer there Thanks so much for sharing all this

[@debbiebrugman1289]

Hi Sherri, love your tips. Thank you. You mentioned a tracking sheet by? of projects you want to make but I don’t see it in the links. Is that something that is still available?

[@lindahalloran3643]

How would you suggest storing material for block of the month quilts or quilt kits? It’s so much material to store until you need it each month.

[@lisascenic]

Thanks for this thought provoking video. The blog link doesn’t seem to be working, and I couldn’t find the right article by searching. (I suspect I wasn’t using the proper search words.)

[@carendiard9334]

Love your videos! Where can I find the little house patterns? Thank you

[@roxannesmith6656]

Love these houses ! But I can’t get the free pattern ? HELP PLEASE ! 😊

[@cynthiatriller5879]

Hi Sherri! Just printed out the village pattern. You mentioned you are using a flying geese ruler to make your roofs. What brand do you use? Just discovered you from watching the sewing room tour and love your sweet calm voice! One more thing. Do you use starch or just flatter or best press on the bias roofs? Thank you so much. I have subscribed to your channel😊

[@nanmckee54]

Great tips! What is the flying geese ruler you are using for the Village quilt?

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

It's called the "Fit to Be Geese" ruler by Monique Dillard. The easiest way to find it is from her website: OpenGateQuilts.

[@Thuuunderous_Wizard]

Love these houses. But the pattern is not available anymore. How can I find it please. Thx.

[@tigerlily9051]

Hi. Are the Sunday Best helps still available? I would like to try these blocks and plan to buy the book..

[@Kpmomof4]

What is the plastic container with handle again from please?

[@mamakaka73]

Top 12 wips!!! Lol, I couln't handle that.

[@celiagtorres]

Little village houses pattern is not available, could you please be so kind to do it for us. Thanks.

[@marilynbentley9707]

I’m just finding this. Video and it seams the patter is no longer available online. Can you help? Enjoy your videos!!!

[@EBennett517]

The link for the "Village" pattern is now giving an error.

[@samwise8562]

How do you keep your blocks from becoming a stringy mess?

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

I think pressing and using quality fabrics are the best tips. But starching your fabrics before cutting/sewing will eliminate nearly all of the "strings."

[@reneejohnson5041]

LOVE your ideas, tips and tricks on keeping works in progress organized. Sooo excited to implement them in my quilt room. A lot of the storage and labeling I’ve been trying to do. It’s good to know I’m not the only one that has more than one project going at a time, I though it was my ADD. ☺️ Love the wire mesh organizer. The file idea will be so helpful. What was the last sheet you said that helps to track projects for 2020 you were going to give us the link to? Couldn’t find it. Thanks so much for all your wonderful tips!!

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

If you click "show more" under the description above you'll find the link to the works in progress sheet tracker. Thank you!

[@reneejohnson5041]

Sherri McConnell thank you!

[@mariawells8026]

Ditto what Susan Cryderman said.

[@myrleenmanley]

Just found you this weekend. Nice organization ideas. You might want to review and see how many times you say “um”. Probably over 100
