Block Wednesday is all about ‘that’ cookie! & my Nose Update

[@donnaduguay7532]

Hi Pat I love your new hat. It looks awesome on you. I just wanted to also thank you for all your great videos. I watch you every morning and look forward to see you. Thank you again 💕

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Your hat with the tag on it reminded me of Minnie Pearl. HOWDY! I like a lot of things in my chocolate chip cookies but they are my husband’s faves so I do them as ordered because he will make them last for months. He is diabetic so one in an evening twice a week would be his limit.

[@pywagner]

Hat is super cute! Supplement protection with some great sunscreens. I apply liberally every morning. Next to peanut butter, chocolate chip is my favorite!

[@sharonwilliams6787]

Chocolate chip cookies are a family favorite. Some members like it plain but I live it with pecans and coconut. Amazing. That's for the update. We have very fair grandkids and some redheads so we have been purchasing the hats for them for years. I may have to add them to the adults gift list this year.

[@terryblair966]

Great show I love the display walls. So glad you are healing.

[@kimhicks1571]

I just discovered your channel and what a joy!! I love seeing what you’re working on, projects you’ve finished and all the quilty chatter 💖 Love it!!

[@sharonwight8497]

Such a good tip about the cutting it has taken me 2 years to learn that and my piecing has improved immensely. Also thanks so much for sharing your journey with skin cancer have friends who have had that done, hopefully that will make others aware.

[@PatSloan]

I hope!

[@lindamuzroll8487]

Pat, I want to thank you so much for doing this sewalong. I love all of the blocks so far. Y esterday, I had the same surgery that you had and feel that this project will help keep my mind off of my altered appearance. I know it will improve quickly as I have had experience with skin cancer all too much! You are such an inspiration to me with your optimistic outlook and infectious giggle!💕

[@PatSloan]

Big hugs!

[@janmunson7328]

Your new hat looks so good on you! So thankful you are healing so well! PTL!! Love chocolate chip cookies with everything in them!

[@allisonmccullough6082]

Chocolate Chip cooooookkkkiiiieeeeesssss!!! I love them and I cant wait to get started on this block! So glad to hear the nose update and that everything is going well... also, I LOVE the hat!!

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Hey, if it works, you could sew a short strip of elastic in the back, just by it's ends to pull the hat in, just a bit tighter? I have to stay out of the sun too. All the best.

[@robinfarley1361]

I am so loving this quilt along. I’m making my block using the same fabric as you and I really love the blocks so far! I also wanted to say that I am so glad you’ve healed so well from your nose surgery. I can’t even tell you had anything done!

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

I love your new hat! Glad to know you are healing good. My Dad had a few spots of skin cancer on the back of his neck. He did construction all his life so he was in the sun everyday.

[@SharonCarbine]

You look fantastic, Pat. Glad to hear about your recovery. Also, it was very thoughtful for you to share your experience so we can learn from you!

[@sherryfaires7931]

Love your hat, Pat! In the beginning I thought you had made your top and hat to match, but after you took it off, I could tell it wasn’t the same print and color…but very close! Your nose has come a long way! I am so happy for you that it is almost unnoticeable now! I love your blocks and enjoy how you go through your thought process and color choices!

[@GiGi-si9mo]

Very happy to hear you are healing and that you had a good report. Thank you for sharing your surgery and your progress. Such an inspiration. Love chocolate chip cookies. Homemade are the best.

[@janetflint8202]

I saw a bag somewhere made of selvages it was cute

[@joyscranfield5527]

Yummy, Chocolate Chip Cookies!!! A very nice block & I Iove brown & pinks together.

[@angelastoutenger7944]

I sometimes add oatmeal when I’m making chocolate chip cookies. Then I don’t feel so guilty about eating them. Lol

[@clarabee72]

Love the scrappy block. Like seeing the shoofly design.

[@lydiafortier202]

Put a thin strip of foam inside the brim to make the hat fit better. I did that with my honor guard cap.

[@mollysmith6055]

Very cute hat, Pat! I'm glad your healing is going so well. I'm glad you said 'we tend to veer' because I thought it was just me being sloppy. Thank you for the color guidance on the Sweet Dreams block, it really helps.

[@dqueenb6692]

Thank you for sharing your basal cell carcinoma removal journey. It’s amazing how quickly you’re healing and it looks great. Love the hat - I may have to try it myself. Your videos are so cheerful and make me smile 😊.

[@caroltytler7205]

So happy your nose is making great progress! You look amazing even though you have a ways to go in the healing process.

[@donnam1358]

I love your new hat!

[@KathleenQuilter]

I like nuts, caramel and coconut in my chocolate chip cookies! Love your SPF 50 hat! Thank you for enlightening all of us on how to pick the right fabric for each block. I may have to remake my first block due to color choices.

[@sandyd829]

Thank you for sharing tips and how to preview fabric choices. Enjoy your positive upbeat attitude towards life.

[@lyndapatrick8303]

I love chocolate chip cookies 🍪, love them with or within pecans, love a variation with white chocolate & butterscotch chips & pecans: so delicious!! Love your new blue hat! Looks great! Was glad to hear the healing is going well, will continue to pray for your healing .

[@cricketsstudios]

YAY!!! Chocolate chip cookies are sooo yummy!!!! Can't wait to chat live on Saturday - I miss my quilty peeps in the Sloan Zone!

[@PatSloan]

We miss you too 💕

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

I hope you are healing up well. Thanks for sharing the free pattern!

[@raisdbywolvz]

You're adorable in that hat! My favorite chocolate chip cookie is the one I'm eating at the time! :) But seriously, I prefer just chocolate chips in my cookie, though I used to work with someone who would bring oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, walnuts, and raisins into the office for birthday celebrations, and those were some mighty tasty cookies.

[@debbierowe5562]

Love chocolate chip home made cookies with craisins. Yummy. I have been craving them so I think maybe this weekend baking some. Pat you look cute in your hat.

[@lyndaryan2458]

Made choc chip cookies yesterday and added coconut to try and use some up. My husband said they were best ever, but also says he doesn’t like coconut!

[@olitanahooikaika3941]

Pat, I ordered the Carole Jones books! I read one yesterday and started on the second one, they ate great.Thanks for suggesting them❤️❤️❤️

[@PatSloan]

That's great!

[@christinehl4310]

Yay for chocolate chip 🍪!! I love soft and chewy cookies; no nuts or coconut for me. Love white chocolate chip with orange and cranberry bits. So glad your recovery is progressing well. Thank you for hosting this sew along and all your tips.

[@yvettehendrickson3423]

Your blue hat is lovely Pat.

[@donnarichey144]

My head is small too, I can fit in a kids one so frustrating finding one my size. Thanks for sharing.

[@zerozero9085]

I've yet to meet a chocolate chip cookie that I didn't munch in joyful bliss!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Hi Pat, I am happy for your Dr. release from your skin cancer.👏👍 I like the hat, it looks nice on you. I was surprised over the length of time for the swelling to go down, but considering how it was built it’s certainly understandable. I love the block and the scrap version too. I am going to get behind on the many projects, as I must get this 4 room disaster completely cleaned up! Yikes, I see a Huge purge coming. 😳😬🤬 🤣😆😂😅 I’ve been watching your tidy videos. Thank you for those & their guidance. 🥰 Sincerely, Chris

[@elsafischer3247]

Pat I always come late. I lived in Switzerland, but I could follow you anyway. Thanks for your tutorial

[@terigreen4217]

Glad I found your KZbin channel!!

[@kathydeel4780]

You have such a good eye for color. That is the hardest part for me. I love your videos. ❤❤❤

[@sonjadalglish6544]

Dear Pat, So glad to hear you are healing well. Love that hat and how it matched your shirt. Thinking about getting one for myself. I’ve gotten some sun damage on my cheek and would like to avoid any more problems. Love the new block. This will be a happy chocolate chip sewing day. Those are my husband’s favorite cookies. Thanks for a great quilt sew along.

[@PatSloan]

This hat is very light

[@sonjadalglish6544]

@@PatSloan I ordered one, the blue one, through your link. Thanks for the recommendation & for the link. Happy to support your small family business. 😊

[@kaleilowe5374]

Have you ever tried chilling the dough, rolling it into balls, then rolling the balls in granulated sugar before baking? Yum!

[@PatSloan]

sounds good!

[@houseinnorthcarolina9439]

Pat, I, like you, have had basal cell carcinoma. I have sun hats too. I've found that because of the large brim they tend to fly off in the breeze. I sewed in a tie on each side (shoe laces) that I tuck inside the hat until I need them. Your hat is very pretty. Suzanne

[@martystaten9045]

Good morning from Texas

[@MsAgent099]

I have a small head too. I'm always envious of people that have cute winter hats on and look good. My hats always come down to my eyebrows. Yuck! I'll try this SPF hat and cross my fingers. LOL

[@sharonmika4786]

Thanks for the reboot! I so enjoy watching your thought process about coloring the block. The scrappy ones have caught my attention 👍🏻💫

[@gingerlawson9612]

My husband had the same surgery you did last Monday and just had the stitches out this Monday. Had to glue some of the places after removing the stitches. Still puffy and will be for a long time the Dr. said. I think I have the same hat you are talking about with the cord in it and I do not like it either so use it for yard work because of the drawstring in it, because of windy day here, to tighten it around my head and that works good. You stay safe.

[@shirleymurray5545]

Good morning from Edwardsville,Illinois where it is 6 degrees.

[@aliceolivares-chawk8307]

The scrappy shoe fly is beautiful!

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Pat! I really like this block, especially the crumb block! More ideas for my crumbs 😊 You're healing up so nicely & I love this new hat!

[@nancyandersen615]

I understand the hunt for a hat to fit a smaller head. So much out there is one size fits all. I don't think so!!!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Love the hat...such an important message!

[@dottiebuckley2873]

So anxious for todays block. Good morning everyone

[@susans2599]

Another great lesson about colour.

[@sheralynn100]

Hi Pat. I love your hat and also have a small head for hats. What I did, is use weather stripping, it is very narrow, and tucked into the rim of the hat, inside the hat. My hat had a slight fold I could tuck the weatherstripping into. It stays in place fairly well or you can use a bit of glue to keep it in place. Hope this helps

[@PatSloan]

Thanks!

[@sadiejosiemom]

Cute hat! They're a great idea because they also protect your scalp.

[@wendyhansen3223]

You look great Pat! I am buying hats for my sisters and myself thanks for sharing. Of course using your link.

[@sandrajohnson4218]

Your nose is looking great and healing well. I love your new hat. I have several from coolbar.

[@sharoncasavant7650]

The red ww looks great! Placement too!

[@eogma7848]

Love the sweet dreams pattern...just watching at this point, but I want to make it eventually. I totally understand about the basal cell carcinoma...had a similar spot on my nose...same scenario...Glad you posted the link for the hat...I just ordered one. I don't like my big one either LOL.

[@karinaeichmann1595]

Hat matches shirt perfectly!

[@jeanettewithrow9641]

I like the scrappy shofly

[@ChiaraOsborne]

Glad to see you healing well. My youngest adores sunhats so we encourage them. I am excited about the Chocolate chip cookie block.

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Best wishes for continuing healing. Love the border fabric for your Kitchen Wonderland. I hope you have enough for binding.

[@MimiKay-S]

I love the fabric your using for sweet dreams. 😍

[@nnickerson7636]

Hi Pat, I like your hat, it even matches you top you have on. Your red and white quilt has turned out very nice, I hope you have enough of the one material for the boarder and binding it looks very nice. Hope you have a good day. 🙂 I like cc cookies with out the cc... lol

[@PatSloan]

It did match!

[@patriciahomer5342]

Not my favorite, but I like them- chocolate chip cookies. I like your new hat. At first I thought you had made your top & hat to match. Cute! I like your block. I'm still trying to catch up.

[@tammychandler2247]

You look adorable Pat.

[@BusyMagnaBee]

Sweet Dreams quilt … your idea to put the dark blocks in the middle and light blocks on the corners made me think that the entire quilt might look somewhat like X’s and O’s. Cool.

[@sonjadalglish6544]

And, P.S. thanks for the reminder to measure after sewing those strips. I should have done that on my scrappy hearts for our Valentine wall hanging. I would have been happier with it, I’m sure ! 😊🌈

[@karenmilligan5583]

Espresso Chip Nestles!! Yum!

[@margm4]

Love the scrap ones😊👍 xx

[@rosemarymcguire7648]

Love the hat! You look really cute in it.

Coconut can go in any cookie as far as I'm concerned!

[@laineelkin822]

I love u. God bless u and ur realness! Prayers and hugs!!

[@bethroundell8424]

I'm not following you chocolate cookie block recipe today. I have been up since 3:45am. At 6:30 I set to making a quadruple batch of biscuits to make cinnamon rolls for my husband to share at work today. They were still warm heading out the door. He said the got lots of compliments and were impressed that I was up so early. That's what happens when sleep doesn't come. My mom is coming home today from a 2 month hospital stay. She was critically ill on admittance & was destined for palliative care for the duration of her stay. A week & a half later her kidneys & heart recovered a lot and she turned into a return to home or nursing home bound patient. They have a new case on the hospital ward so they are trying to move people out. I think she told the team of three Drs that she had no intention to go to a nursing home. She told them that she was suffering from the lack of personal medical care received during covid. Phone call appointments are not good care, the Dr does not see the patient for tell tale signs of failing health. The Drs agreed & started her in Geriatric Rehab. With some diet adjustments and physio therapy. She celebrated her 93 rd Birthday without family, just 3 room mates. I made her a new flannel nightgown, and packed in a carrot cake cupcake and delivered it to the hospital that day. All visitation to the her ward was stopped in early Jan'22. I'm sure she will be glad to be back home. She will have 2-3hour homecare visits per week. No more house work, bed changing & laundry. That might be her biggest adjustment. We will just tell her to embrace being pampered. I have the Sal from last winter to quilt yet along with some others, so I'm into in on this year's. I so needed that last year with the pandemic. Thank you Pat! ttfn!

[@belyndamulloy33]

Thank you Pat!

[@karenraabis5296]

My dad had this done also. It was amazing.

[@eastskye137]

My husband is a total weirdo: He doesn't like chocolate chip cookies! That doesn't stop me from making and enjoying them, though. The softer and chewier, the better. Nut lovers unite!

[@leahholland6272]

Your husband sounds like my grandfather....Gram used to make him chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate, then make the rest of the batch with for her (and the grandkids)

[@GrammyQ46]

Love your new hat!

[@marniehouston7465]

Love the hat. Need one like that for summer. Where did you get / order it from? Thanks,

[@rebeccasewing]

Your hat's super cute!

[@cheryl8280]

Trust you to describe your surgery as "paisley"! LOLOL Soooo glad everything has worked out for you. My daughter had a spot removed from her cheek this past summer. It too was bacel cell carcinoma. But it wasn't as pretty as "paisley". No, it was fine!. That hat is wonderful. May I ask were you got it? I'd like to buy one for her and myself. I WISH I had the ability to blend colours and patterns. I get a patterned fabric, chicken out and go to an alternating solid colour. Wish I had someone around here who could say if two patterned fabrics worked well together. But alas, I'm alone on this frozen berg. Love everything you are doing, Pat. You and my morning coffee are the best way to start the day. Please take care (you've had a rough year) and bit hugs from Canada!!

[@PatSloan]

Hehe ..it is Paisley shaped!

[@maryannolthoff5825]

Good morning

[@karena7950]

Morning Pat ... "request contains an invalid argument" is a message i get lately when i try to click the bell to get notified of your videos ... A few weeks ago, i as getting a message i could not subscribe as the video " contained content for children" ( that may not be an exact quote) ... I am unsure if these issues are on my end or yours, but i wanted to let you know as you recently asked why some are not watching your videos .... I have to manually go into my subscriptions and find your video ... Just an fyi!

[@PatSloan]

i have no idea. it is definately on YOUR end as there is no 'MY END". this is KZbin and they handle all errors, i don't have anything to do with how youtube runs. You will need to get someone local to work with you to figure it out
