Christmas Stars & Critter Quilt #2 kickoff!!

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Love watching you create the critter quilts

[@margm4]

Hi Pat, I too love bags. I used to make my own. Thanks for the reminders of when I was known as the bag lady! 🇦🇺❤️

[@vickyerhind]

The critter quilt is going to look great, can't wait to see it finished 😄

[@nrobinson7951]

Hi Pat. Thanks for sharing

[@tinafulbright2459]

Congratulations Linda on winning Pat's gorgeous quilt❤❤

[@sonjadalglish6544]

Love the trees on the Heaven and Nature Sing quilt. And, also love that red & white quilt. That is a winner.

[@cinn1217]

I love LUG bags, especially the back packs. I also LOVE the lady that won your quilt, her birthday and her husband shares her love of you. 😊 a happy day.🍁🍂🎃🍂🐈‍⬛️🍁

[@rachelrushing8063]

You amaze me! That critter quilt is already so cute!

[@SharonMcGlasson]

I used to be a bag collector, as well. I spent a lot on name brand bags. Nowadays my bag budget has shifted into a fabric budget. 😂

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

Me too. Lol

[@playme129]

I really like the elements in this 2nd critter quilt.

[@PatSloan]

there were so many great critters send in!

[@jennyhibben1719]

Thanks Pat - I so agree about bags - I'm on the search for the "perfect" bag, keep buying them, no, it's not quite right... so I have to keep looking! haha. A quest for the ages. Love the critters - marvellous. You're a wiz.

[@sharonoconnor7769]

I love Baggallini bags, they are practical and last forever. I’m always looking at bags,and I will make a bag in a heartbeat if I have a special need.

[@pennydoyle1806]

I like those critters.... think it is going to be a cute quilt. You are talented.

[@vikkivanveldhuizen2290]

I’m a bag lady too. Love to buy them as they are probably the only thing that fit me perfectly. 😮😂😂😂

[@kayrudel1816]

Good morning from Texas. So much cooler now. High 80 today.

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

I used to carry a purse, but now I just carry my phone, which holds my driver's license and 1 credit card. I'm in love with red and white quilts!

[@janrichardson8715]

Another critter quilt, how exciting!! I find it amazing how you are able to fit all of the animal blocks to make a beautiful quilt.

[@kathydaniel4818]

I’m hooked on Vera Bradley bags! They are quilted, have nice florals to choose from, and they are washable!

[@PatSloan]

those are nice, not seen them in awhile

[@marcellarodriguez7955]

Wow!!! That red and white quilt is beautiful!!!

[@Joy-eq6qg]

You have been busy taming your critters! Critter quilt #2 will be so nice. The tree quilt is lovely & as suggested, I'll watch Kendall's video for his tips & cutting instructions; I want 4 block wall hanging. Wendy Shepard's red & white quilt is stunning (mom would have loved it!). Great visit today, thanks for having everyone into the Sloan Zone. Did you enjoy your long weekend? See you tomorrow online 😊

[@PatSloan]

thank you for watching Joy!! I work on the weekends and take time off during a week day or an afternoon instead. I don't have a traditional work schedule. Running my own business for 30 years has created it's own schedule.

[@rachelrushing8063]

I love bags! 😂 now I’m crazy about picking a purse. Takes me forever and I use it forever, but I truly love to collect other carry all bags! So fun!

[@patriciabryant6574]

Ha ha, good luck with not getting any more critters Pat!

[@robinschar666]

I have been showered with a new Coach bag each Christmas & my birthday the last few years. I too love bags, totes you name it! I think I come by it naturally, my mom always had matching bags & shoes.

[@PatSloan]

that is a very nice birthday gift

[@hobbstamper]

@PatSloan. Yay! This video clip is perfect!

[@marieerickson9695]

The Christmas trees are amazing I made a test block over the weekend…it took way longer than I thought! Then I watched Kendall’s video and that helped! I love the critters and watching your process is remarkable!❤

[@juliehassel8432]

I use a flip belt for storing my phone, keys, etc when I walk. It's awesome!

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Hi. What is a flip belt? Thanks.

[@debbiepenalber1369]

I love purses as well!

[@cathydillehay8061]

I have made so many bags. I have them in all sizes and multiples of some patterns. I cannot imagine going someplace without a bag. Love em!

[@sharonarwood4764]

Something fun with quilt #3 would be for you to do a raffle and put money towards painting that beautiful sewing machine :) I know I would buy tickets

[@brendawall7846]

My go to is Vera Bradley bags. Always buy them at outlets or on sale.

[@lindathomas6684]

I'm looking forward to you building the animal quilt! ❤❤

[@susanhartley8207]

I love the critters! It is amazing to me how the colors and sizes go together so well .

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

I am a bag lady too. I also used to have a lot of purses many moons ago, but now just 1. Now juat totes for crochet and totes for carrying and traveling

[@evecarr7440]

I used to be a bag lady before I retired. Love Brighton bags and I have several.

[@bevh2241]

I hate having to carry a purse. The smaller the better. Never carried one until cell phones. Love your fabric choice for the Christmas quilt and the red and white quilt sets my hear a twitter. Would like to suggest switching the dragon fly block with the chicken next to it in the critter quilt. The corner looks kind of washed out because of the light background of the dragon fly.

[@donnahawley5524]

I use a Baggelini bag too, wear it cross body. It is the Triple Zip bag. Just big enough and not too big.

[@denisepineda1788]

I used to be somewhat of a bag collector when I worked. Now I buy a purse and use it until it starts wearing out and then I buy a new one. But boy do I collect fabric and everything quilting!! Now I just need to get better at sewing more and buying less!!

[@leighholland7709]

I am a purse-aholic! Love the critters.

[@DianeArrighi]

Very cute! I think you should switch the red fox and the dragonfly for balance. Love watching your videos

[@karenolson2532]

I'm a back pack girl. Love the Christmas tree quilt

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

I love bags too. I have lots of Dooney and Berg.

[@martiparsons3141]

I''m getting ready to make a Frankenbag from an Agilejack blog. I have a Molo panel I bought at a quilt show several years ago that I want to use as the base for the front panel.

[@AllisonNorris13]

💜☮️

[@marthademarco3211]

I used to love all kind of purses but now I carry a small wristlet or wallet with a shoulder strap that's it.

[@paulalukas5585]

The critter quilt looks really good!

[@saraharrell1768]

Love those critters. I have been doing some asst pieced blocks. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cathypearson3823]

Hi Pat, love seeing all the critters! The tree in the center of the row you were showing us has a contrast issue. The squares beside the top of the tree are too light and makes it look like a rectangle instead of a tree tip. Look at the video and you will see it. Thank you for bringing us such wonderful content. Cathy in Alberta.

[@marlahanks7278]

I didn't notice to begin with, but I see it now.

[@jayneterry8701]

This sounds like yesterday's new lol but I finished your challenge! I made a rug mug doing matchstick quilting. Its Halloween orange with black cats ☺️

[@PatSloan]

I hope you enjoyed the computer designing

[@leahholland6272]

Yes! Love the little fusible animals... they would fill in nicely!

[@marthacook]

I cannot resist shopping for bags but I do have a limit lol. I did enjoy seeing your computer work. Amazing. Love the little critters you added.

[@alindac1]

I am also a bag lady!!! Lol! Even though I hate carrying purses or bags, I have a lot of them!!! But there's nothing wrong with being a bag lady!!! 😂😂😂

[@michellecobb3530]

I have a bag love too

[@darlenerichter1013]

The critters are adorable ❤️ maybe a row of the miniature butterflies? I know that involves making more but I think it would look beautiful

[@syllydaisy5412]

hi...i just thought you could add some smaller blocks onto the background fabric of the unicorn...there’s so much space around it...and the grey is a bit overwhelming....

[@kiajohnson8595]

My daughter has a closet full of bags.....I only have one! Where did she get that from????? But on that note mine is from Italy leather market and I think I want a new one. Have had that one for 7 years, definitely time I'd say HA

[@bellaannecgoff2335]

❤❤❤

[@annacochran9420]

Joining late hi everyone

[@margespagnolo2375]

I love the Heaven and Nature Sing quilt. But your strip you showed today made me confused because the middle star "tree" looks like it doesn't taper to a point. Then I realized it's because you used light fabrics for the side blocks. Of course this was from the distant view and maybe it takes on the proper shape at a closer view.

[@sarahguidry9802]

I just bought a clear vinyl bag for public events in our community. Not stylish but necessary.

[@PatSloan]

I'm ony phone and comments are not working well 😮

[@lynevans4855]

The middle tree in row 3 looks very flat on top. I realize it's because you had light colors around it but on camera it looks flat like you forgot to peak the tree. Wendy's red and white quil t us spectacular!

[@PatSloan]

that is what gives it personality!! not every tree is identical is it?

[@Ritabean1]

😅you are so sweet

[@diane19456]

Hi Pat, I used to make bags to sell at the church bizzar. Love your bags. Have you tried making bags?

[@PatSloan]

I have made tons of bags in the day.. not recently. I prefer to buy them now

[@carolmcdonnell7936]

Love the darker fabrics you are using for the Christmas quilt. What are they? A bundle? Thanks!!

[@PatSloan]

yes it is listed on my project page for this go to www.ilovetomakequilts.com/ and see the project page.

[@carolmcdonnell7936]

Thank you!

[@konnie9325]

What is the orange and black quilt behind you. I love it and want to make it. ❤ I’ve been looking for a new quilt to make and have not found one that has grabbed me till I saw this one.

[@PatSloan]

it is in the 'Perfect 10' layer cake book called the Birthday Quilt shrsl.com/49de9

[@cathlyndeutsch9209]

On your middle Christmas tree star block you loose the top of your tree because the fabric on either side is too white and you can't see the point. If you go back and look at your video you will see what I mean.

[@debbielong1168]

I bought the download version at Annie's but it won't let me print it, don't like that

[@carolcolbert6329]

Quick question, please. CAC the feather quilting design used in the red and white quilt be an E2E? I just bought a longarm machine and about all I'm thinking I'll be able to do is E2E and I LOVE feathers!! Thank you!😊

[@PatSloan]

Yet it is edged to edge

[@cecilybailey5720]

I am curious about you computer program for layout ? Yuma have mentioned that this is no longer available...but is there something you can recommend? Thank you for this adorable animal quilt!

[@PatSloan]

i recommend Electric Quilt which is written for quilters with loaded quilt blocks and layout. Great support. Get at amzn.to/45pKGBq

[@peggyisme]

What quilt is behind you? ***Never mind, I found it. Fall Layer Cake - from Perfect 10 book***

[@PatSloan]

yes!

[@peggyisme]

@@PatSloan It did not look like Sweet Childhood Memories!

[@halfpint7094]

I love seeing how you work out how everything needs to go together. ☕️🍩😊❣️🪡🧵

[@virginiacollis4580]

Those quilts should not be separated. Shouldn't they go to the museum all together? That way everyone that made some can all feel great that they are in the museum.

[@PatSloan]

no they will each go to a facility where they can hang all the time and people can enjoy them.
