Chatty Catch Up - What I've been making May 2024

[@gracepatane9384]

It’s better to take a chance, & have no regrets, than to not take a chance, & regret it for the rest of your life!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you Grace! Hopefully I made the right decision!

[@jeanmcintyre4662]

The monthly patterns are so cute. I also love the way you combine embroidery and the quilting. Thank you for sharing

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Glad you like them! thank you so much

[@annfindleton9514]

I really enjoy your videos, you are such a talented girl, your parents must be extremely proud of you. I hope whatever venture it is that you are thinking about goes ahead for you, I wish you all the best for it, it's a true saying that life isn't a rehearsal so take your leap and enjoy the ride ❤

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

thank you so much! that is so so kind of you x

[@janwebster3749]

You have being so busy but as I have said you flower of the month is brilliant love it.

Hi to my favorite girl .

Thelma writes: Hello Emma from NZ. I have just managed to watch this video, like you, I have been very busy of late. Your appliqued hexagon blocks look gorgeous, and also you crochet blanket. I have recently finished a mini throw crochet grannies for my chair in my sewing room using my stash of cotton yarn. It is amazing what you can using your stash, may that be fabric or yarn. I love your Liberty fabric, looks pretty. How are your parents? Hope you are all well in the UK. I look forward to see you with more Sashiko project. Thanks Emma for sharing. Thelma, NZ.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Hi Thelma, thank you for watching. We are all doing well thank you. Your throw sounds lovely! Take care

[@t.k3025]

Love the blocks, especially the tulips. I so enjoy your talent. You are so inspirational.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you so much! that's so so kind

[@kathysmith5411]

So thrilled to see you as a contributor to Alice Caroline Festival in June ❤

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you! That means a lot

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

lovely quilt blocks - the idea of combining so many different techniques in one project is so fun and would be great for learning new techniques.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

thank you so much!

[@sharonzotoff3975]

The crocheted blanket is so super cute! Can't wait to see it when it's all finished. The daisy bubble flowers would make a really cute scarf all on their own.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Oh yes they would! Great idea!

[@helencooper2853]

Hi Emma Everything you make are such amazing and beautiful projects. I enjoy your videos. Cutting and pasting and laying out your quilts on the floor is so back breaking. I have a flannel sheet that I hang over my closet door. That works for me and when you’re done it’s easy to take it down. ❤️ Stay safe on your car trip.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

thank you so much Helen, what a good idea to use a sheet on the door, I must try it. take care

[@julieagar4483]

Your makes are all beautiful, enjoy your teaching sessions at the festival of Quilts. Your zipper bag is beautiful. I look forward to seeing your progress with your crochet blanket. Good luck with all of your future plans.❤❤ Julie Tasmania Australia.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you so much Julie 🤗

[@bluemerlinmakes]

I really like these catch up videos. It's so nice to see what you've been working on 🙂 And I'm so curious about your exciting news! Enjoy the sweet peas and the roses of May and June 😊

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Aww thank you! It looks like the big news is going ahead so will be able to share in a couple of weeks 😊🌸

[@jacquelineknox1977]

So lovely to catch up with you again Emma. Your sewing and crocheting are so pretty. I have never seen the bobble flowers in crochet before. They are so effective. Looking forward to hearing of your future plans. xx

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you ever so much Jacqueline, I might just have something exciting to share in a couple of weeks 🌸

Another lovely video from you. I love your flower blocks 😍

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thanks so much 😊

[@jennysharman9515]

It was lovely to hear of your projects and plans. I love the block of the month and am thinking of starting that. Either as a monthly hanging or as a quilt. I also love the crochet blanket, such pretty colours. I’m not very good at crochet but that is very appealing. I’m going to check it out anyway. ❤

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you Jenny! I hope you can join the block of the month, it’s no pressure and they make lovely quilts. The crochet blanket is great because it’s free so you can have a look at the pattern and video tutorials before you commit to buying the yarn. 🌸

[@rebeccajonesbrooks2408]

I love daisies and like the daily bubble pattern block. It inspires me to do something similar with EPP. thanks for sharing your projects!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you! 😊

[@marybull3715]

Hope you are feeling well, I found your pronunciation of Sashiko fine, it is how my son in Japan says it. he has been a permanent resident there for about 12 years now. lovely to hear all your news, organising for events must be tiering and stressful, Seems to me you have been really busy, looking forward to future projects with you but a bit up to my eyes at present, I will be coming back to look at your videos again and again!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Aww thank you Mary! Really appreciate your support. I hope things calm down for you soon 🌸

[@marybull3715]

@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox Thank you I hope it will soon calm down. Off on Friday to Germany to stay with eldest son and family for a week, so once home again I have the A.C. festival to look forward to, and I hope more time sewing.

[@lauraperino7942]

I really like the fabrics you use and the colors, because I love pink, and light blue and green. They are a little bit different for shape of the flowers from those found here in Italy. Where can I find them? My compliments for your creations🥰

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

thank you! check out Alice Caroline, they sell Liberty fabrics which is what I mainly use

[@The4amQuilter-eo1dk]

Emma…. If there’s an opportunity.. take the plunge… because in the end you don’t want to regret not doing something… take the plunge and see where it takes you… good luck….🌺👍💐☺️

Such cute projects!!! Love the bag. I had to think about your long journey, you should come over here to America if you want a long one! It takes me two full days to drive North to one daughters house and three full days to drive South to the other daughters!! My two girls live 1800 miles apart! I looked it up and England is 600 miles long.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Oh that is long! Thanks for watching

Emma do you sell complete sets as I am not good on the computer,but would luv to follow you on patroon but need help to obtain your beautiful creations luv teresa

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Hi Teresa, I sell each block each month made from hexiform shapes. Check my website and if you sign up for my newsletter you will receive the updates when things are for sale 😊

[@peterlilley6836]

Emma what are hexes form? Sorry just heard this I want to make one of your boxes much luv teresa

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Hexiform is a fabric shape used instead of paper in epp and is left in to give a nice texture

[@judygiesbrecht8297]

Would love to participate in the sew-a-long but the conversion to Canadian makes it undoable at this time. Will you put the pattern on your website after the event ends?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I think it will be next year when I might be able to do that. Sorry the conversion isn’t good 🌸
