Crumb Quilting Adventure - New Piecing Technique plus Digital Quilt | Ep. 5

[@darlene.michaud]

Hello peanut gallery! I came up with a super cool way to turn some simple strip sets into mini crumb blocks! You can whip these up in no time and make a pile of them in multiple colors to use as block starters. I'm totally addicted to this!!! Thank you so much for watching. You are making this my most successful series that I've ever started. Do love! xoxo You can catch up on this series here: tinyurl.com/y9zcg63f

[@lavernwinters6856]

Darlene Michaud I love your method. I’ve got a crazy/crumb that I’ve added to as I complete other quilts. I keep the trimmed pieces of other blocks that have some width to use in crumb blocks. It’s so much fun to make crumb blocks. I live your crumb block videos!

[@carmaarmentrout1021]

This is the third time I have watched this series. I have made two crumb quilts. I make my blocks 6 inch square. Each quilt has 122 blocks. I sashed them. I love just sitting at my machine, getting a piece of fabric without thinking if it matches another piece and just sewing. I sew at our community center once a week. The ladies I quilt with save all their crumbs for me. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. God bless.

[@MrsShirotora]

I can't even finish watching the video before I have to go to the sewing machine and try it. This is my new favorite thing. I knew I'd kept all those little pieces for a good reason! Thank you for these tutorials.

[@v.elizabethevans3714]

I am having so much fun watching your crumb quilt series! I spent Sunday afternoon "playing" using your techniques. I had THE BEST time sewing this way! Thank you so much. I love this series you are doing. Please keep it coming! Your excitement is so contagious.

[@kathycole9443]

You make these quilt blocks so easy. I overthink things to much and then get frustrated. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@TheH20please]

Oh, Darlene! The lay out of blocks at the end was so fun! I'm really liking the no sashing look. Maybe free motion or stipple quilting. You are so fun to watch. Like visiting with a close friend. Thanks for sharing the love. ♥

[@carolbittner4168]

I really love this crumb idea; each finished block looks SO COMPLICATED (like"how did you do that??"). But it's so easy, so simple to do, and SO MUCH FUN. Thanks Darlene I'm gonna try it.

[@rosebailey5575]

I have never had so much fun putting together a quilt than by using your method - Michaud Crumb Method (aka I can sew this shit)!! Thank you Darlene. Don't let the big, bad recording/editing process destroy the value you provide to all of us.

[@vickiebailey5261]

I LOVE YOUR TEACHING STYLE . YOU EXPLAIN TECHNIQUES AND WHY THEY ARE USED . YOU HAVE A STYLE LIKE NO OTHER ON YOU TUBE " . YOU ARE MY FAVORITE TUTOR ! YOU'RE THE GIRL !!

[@bevtabois2010]

I love that the sashing makes the squares look like individual works of art but OMG the wow factor of joining them without it was amazing x

[@carrievaught9972]

That turned out so beautifully! I didn’t quite have the vision at first, but when they went up on the board I was blown away!

[@plumcrazy57]

Darlene, I love you! I have so much fun watching you create! This crumb quilt idea has got me thinging! I have not been doing any sewing for quite some time because of health problems, but darn it... I just have to start doing crumbs! Thank you for being you and sharing so much of yourself with us! Candy

[@anniemcdonald1792]

Love this series. When i move I am setting up a sewing machine. My mother in law is a seamstress and she has been saving me scraps.. So excited to make a crumb quilt. Thanks for all the ideas.

[@carmaarmentrout1021]

I do enjoy watching you having so much fun with what you do. I could watch you for hours. I've always thrown away small pieces of fabric but now am going to save and make a crumb quilt.

[@margaret-mary499]

Omg that was way cool. Looked like you were making a book and you turned the pages and pressed. What a clever idea. I'm hooked now. The layouts were wonderful do love those. I loved the no sashing you can really see all the beautiful colors together. The last four you cut we're outstanding colors. Also Darlene you lighting is great could see it all very well. Again thank you for this series and your time. Your great🌺

[@lyricalstorms]

I love the 12 squares with the dark blue border that you showed at the end! It really pops! Great work Darlene!!

[@grivest6000]

Now I know how to use some of the closes I don't want to wear any more. I was use to give them to good will stores....but if I can use them for doing crumb quilts, why not? Grand kids will like to have that. Thank you! And it will be good to passe some time here and there relaxing.... wow!!! You have fun to teach us, LOL....G.R.

[@phyllisbrookins8088]

Darlene, I just LOVE ALL of your videos, and the crumb quilt series are outstanding. I am going to start on a crumb quilt as soon as I finish 2 more rag quilts (and I got the rag quilt inspiration from you also). I look forward to your daily videos...You're Awesome!!!

[@joenamorado6372]

I liked the last "quilt" the best at the very end of the video. I never used to save my crumbs but I've started saving them after the first video in this series. I'm going to make a crumb quilt using those crumbs and all those scraps that I have sitting in a crate next to my sewing table. 👍

[@terridunning3450]

Hi Darlene, I have been quilting for a few years now but watching your videos has got me stirred up like a hive of bees. i simply love this crumb method of quilting and I am going to be starting one of my own. Terri

[@lindadoyle595]

Ok Chrmb Block Queen I am so hooked on your crumbs You are a super girl and I am doing all your tip. I have no shortage of fabric because I worked in a fabric store for over 7 years. Many thanks kind regards Linda

[@terrioleson6296]

LOVING THIS SERIES!! Makes me want to get out my sewing machine and its been a very long time since I had it out! Thank you thank you!

[@complexbunny7559]

I just love these videos! Thank you for them!! I am on bedrest with our 4th pregnancy. Love watching these videos! 💗

[@kathleenstuartart]

I have found a new love. I'm really enjoying the crumb quilting and your crazy quilts too. You got me inspired to do quilts and I love these. I have made some crumb quilt blocks already and I also made a crazy quilt tote which I love 😊 Thank you

[@marycosta3202]

Do love! I can't believe how beautiful those blocks came out. totally awesome!

[@abuterfly40]

Hey Darlene, I have been making crum fabric for years, just didn't know it was called crumbs. Like you I hate to throw things away. My crumb fabric has been made into pillow covers to change various seasons and holidays. Love your videos. You got me hooked.

[@srf2665]

Loving these videos. Such a creative way to use up all my small pieces I have been throwing in a bag for who what reason! All ready have my first one started. Love the no rules rule! Thank you.

[@CGeeThompkins]

You are the "crumbie" Queen! I love the way you think😊. I like the blocks without any stripping. You gave me an idea for the next time my young granddaughter wants to "use" my sewing machine. I have tons of crumbs she can practice her skills. Thanks so much..

[@thorawilliams8611]

Gee I love the way you sew you are great hoping to start sooN t.t

[@marthathurston2632]

darlene- thanks for the great idea- crumbs are so addictive. i am making a few 6" blocks to take to" sew yeah"- quilt store- so they can see what a crumb is. the plan is to have volunteers use their color of the month fabric to incorporate into the crumb and then when we have amased enough blocks - have a sew in and make quilts for a local charity- sounds like a fun fun fun project. u r the greatest- thx-m

[@picchu56]

New sub here, and I Agee totally! One of the best tutorials I've watched . Your enthusiasm, and willing to teach with such ease is so fun to watch. I can't wait to dig into previous videos!

[@pennyclark1524]

Fantastic Thankyou so much I'm always loathe to discard tiny pieces of fabric I am definitely going to have a go at this it's genius!!!!!!!

[@suewilson3044]

[@carlawolf8260]

[@brendagoulette759]

I was given so much material and have never done a quilt. You make it look so fun and easy.I was stressing about starting one. Now after watching I want to jump right in and start one. Bummer is I have to wait till I visit my mom to use her machine. My sewing machine disappeared during an ugly divorce.

[@BeingClaudee]

You are brilliant. I sew a lot and there is always small pieces left. I think this would be the great way use them. You are so easy to understand. Thank you so much!!! You take care xo

[@cynforrest]

What a HOOT!! Love this technique. Super idea. Thanks for demo.

[@barbarajobling5665]

[@Aileycat1970]

Hi Darlene! Loved this video. I was like, "What the heck is she doing?". Brilliant! I do crumb blocks but never thought to do it the "MICHAUD WAY", I enjoy all your videos. I tripped over your videos one day by accident and now I am groupy!!! LOL. I am working on different things right now. I do use Bonnie Hunters leader and Enders method. Girl it works for crumbs too!!! Aileen in FL

[@teenmorgan4265]

It looks like so much fun that I am going to have a crumb party. . . See how many blocks we can do. Fun Fun thanks

[@jessbettysandlin1487]

Love the crumb blocks--I have started some also.....

[@Treva2000]

Those squared off blocks are beautiful.

[@redgingerbreadpam]

Loved your blocks. Will definitely have to do this.

[@ginawells8230]

Love your Crumb quilt!!!

[@micheleschneck8703]

Love the big mash up w/out sashing!

[@rebeccaflagler2629]

Saw on TV at one time , best square anyone can make.

[@joypeters9204]

Wow those look phenomenal!! I'm glad that I am not the one who has to decide if to sash or not to sash... good luck with that

[@HandmadebyDiana]

thanks hun, I was thinking if I had enough crumbs i might turn mine into a kind of crummy bag LOL I do love your sewing series!! :-)

[@debjh]

I'm sure loving this series Darlene! I just bought a Singer 401A on EBay! You have inspired me 😀

[@nancystockman9719]

is that what Darlene uses?

[@flatrockfilly4725]

Love the blue strips in between

[@ednahalamish1649]

Darlene, thank you so much! You are a genious.

[@tracyruth4247]

LOVE the blocks!!❤

[@bevgilby7073]

I like the small white strips between the blocks.

[@lauracowan5521]

Absolutely amazing! The freedom of this type of quilt making is a breath of fresh air. However, I'm a hand quilter and I've no idea how I'd work my needle through all those seams. Do you think making a knot quilt with this type of piecing would work? I don't know....

[@melaniehefner1098]

Love the red background possibility.

[@marieabalos]

These would look good on the front of a jean picnic quilt!

[@paulawalker9583]

I loved the no sashing look!

[@woodsbound7932]

Yup, the last picture is my favorite!

[@shirley25877]

Love them all you do great work keep it up

[@pinkmarshmallow352]

Fascinating. As always!

[@kathysnowberger2384]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks.

[@dreamzhappen6314]

Awesome! I would've to make this!!

[@noplacelikehome9116]

Super, super cute! I'm thinking about my scrap bin(s) right now... Girl, I hope you buy your thread in bulk! Lol

[@pwnagelol999]

super cool way to use up thoes fabrics that you would normally throw out

[@annphilbeck5174]

Great stash buster for sure!

[@melissaflores3776]

I think we need to call our crumb box our happy box!

[@EverCassandra]

I'm eager to get started, but I don't have enough crumbs yet. I only started sewing a couple of months ago so all my scraps are the from the same few pieces of fabric. LOL I'm saving them, though. Getting there. ^_^

[@toninewell6792]

Love the way you think!

[@JustMe-dn9ff]

I love your show it's so cute and it looks so much like funyouaresofuny
