I don't know about you, but typically when I see a youtube video that's an hour and twenty minutes long, I'll pass it by. Not with you, though. I am one of your subscribers and I always love every single minute (and hour) that I visit with you. I always feel like I'm visiting with a friend. You are such a kind, humble, talented lady. I appreciate you. PS The porch swing quilt -- wow! I wish I could find fabrics in those vintage colors. 😍

[@marshawallace7522]

I totally agree with your comments!

[@donnahutchinson2464]

I disagree. You tube videos can be paused or stopped at anytime to continue another time. I appreciate the great videos that Tammie releases. She is so positive and sweet

[@user-qh5tf8yd2y]

@@donnahutchinson2464 Yes, the ability to pause the video goes without saying. My point was that I do *not pause, but rather that I always stick with Tammie's videos from start to finish and "I always love every single minute because "I feel like I'm visiting with a friend" who is "kind, humble, and talented." I think we're actually saying the same thing. We love Tammie! 🙂

I am laughing because lots of followers are saying what I was thinking - that every quilt deserves to be finished. I know it would take a lot more work, but my vote would be to complete your quilt as you first envisioned it. What a trip down memory lane it would be embroidering the flowers if you can find them! Such lovely quilts on show today. Congratulations to those whose we saw today. Such a lot of work in many of them. Well done everyone

Another video full of instruction and learning from you. I love that you’re sharing your quilting journey with us. You are such a talented quilter and I look forward to each and every video you share. You’re a favorite indeed! Regarding your scarecrow quilt-my vote is to remove the 2 sunflower blocks and replace them with plain blocks. Call it finished and put it on the long arm for a beautiful addition to your Fall collection. We’ll all wait for your decision and look forward to seeing that WIP as a finished quilt. Good luck! Have a great week!😊

I enjoy hearing about your quilting journey and seeing your early quilts. I too would make throws etc. to "practice" on and have something usable. I would either replace the 2 sunflower embroidered blocks OR add another 2 in the opposite corner and call it good. BUT absolutely finish it BECAUSE Every Quilt Deserves to Be Finished❣️ Someone whom I admire has a similar slogan 😉. And it is a part of your journey. Now, I am going to watch the rest of your video.

Very inspiring xx God Bless you xx

[@tammieearnest]

Thank you so much!

[@jennystrahley927]

It's so fun to see quilts that are from some of the same patterns that I have made or plan to make! For example I've been collecting Lori Holt fabrics to make my Vintage Kite quilt. I hadn't thought of the possibility of making it with white, blacks, grays--Sharon's choice of fabrics makes the quilt look so pretty, and the Fox quilt is simply adorable! I've been hoarding a fat eighths bundle of Corey Yoder's Spring Brook, and seeing Elizabeth's Jelly Roll Race quilt reminds me how pretty and Spring-like the fabric is--I need to get my bundle out! I don't have the Christmas fabric or pattern that Jane used, but I thought I'd tell you that from across the room I thought the gray thread that you used for the quilting was actually embossed on the black fabric--nice! Cute Christmas quilt! Elaine's Scrappy Spools quilt is really pretty. I like the fabrics she used. Mine is all finished (yay!). I used the Stitch pink 108 for the backing fabric on mine. I also enjoyed seeing the quilts that already went home--beautiful as well! Sorry I'm so chatty but I really enjoyed all the quilts in this video. By the way, love your Porch Swing quilt! It was fun hearing about your first longarm adventure.

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks so much Jenny! It’s so fun to hear how you are incorporating the same fabrics or patterns into your own quilting journey!

[@bjd120]

Love the scarecrow girls! My first thought was to quilt it as is and use it. It’s a wonderful story. My second thought was….if you want to finish the embroidery …. Then either finish it using the sunflowers…if you can find the pattern…or use different flowers in the other blocks…randomly scattered about. Either way…it’ll be beautiful and loved.

[@marshawallace7522]

And all the white blocks don't need to be embroidered. Perhaps only embroider some of the blocks randomly. That way it won't take as long to get it done. I do like the sunflowers so please include them even if they are the only ones you use. Personally I would probably separate them and put them near the center with the scarecrow girls between so they are also featured blocks. But it's your quilt and if you just long-arm it as it is, it will be well loved and finished❣️

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks for your thoughts!

[@donnakluck9135]

Have you considered adding sunflowers to those blank blocks that are around the edges? Once you start making them again you might want to do them all or maybe none. It all depends if your time is better spent on something you love more. Remember those negative spaces will show off your lovely quilting.Look forward to seeng it finished with or without sunflowers.

[@tammieearnest]

[@CattyWillow]

If the embroidery designs are saved on a card that fits in the Bernina machine, then you might be able to stitch them. If you need to use computer software to transfer the design, then you might be up the creek. I have old Bernina and Pfaff machines that cannot be used because the embroidery software became obsolete. I recommend you just finish the quilt as is. Can Amara stitch over those designs? I don't think mine would like that--but it likes to look for reasons to challenge me. Perhaps try a hand at freestyle again?

[@tammieearnest]

I sent the quilt to someone else to finish the embroidery. I may try a custom longarm finish since it is my quilt. Thanks for the encouragement!
