The Mason Jar line-up finished up so pretty! 5 strands to do French Knots? Wow!!! But they look stellar so I guess the designer knew what they were talking about. I absolutely love the quilt! Great style and colours.

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

Thank you so much for your comment on my video. I appreciate your commiseration with me over the French knots. See you next time. Happy stitching. Best, K

Your FFOs all look wonderful (that spider web fabric is such fun). The mason jars are so pretty. Your quilts are also beautiful, and will be interesting to see how the colourful one turns out once you do the quilting on it. Congrats on reaching 4,000 viewers! I also enjoy your videos and all your pretties. Take care, and happy stitching, Arleen

Beautiful finishes!

Loved mason jars!

[@maureenlopez9266]

Mason Jar lineup looks lovely! I can imagine that would look so nice displayed in a variety of places. Your FFOs came out so nice. I like your idea of dedicating a day to finishing. I need to adopt that habit. 😂. Have a great week!

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

Oh thank you! It is so easy to put off finishing. It takes away from stitching time. But, it feels so good to have things completely done. Happy stitching. Best, K

Wow, I love that crow strawberry! I think I might have that book. The drum looks beautiful too.

Thank you so much for commenting on my video. There are many wonderful projects in the Winds of Autumn book from Blackbird Designs. I think it was well worth the money. So happy that you stopped by. See you next time. Best, K

You have been very busy with such beautiful finishes. The ball jar stitch is such a happy piece. Congratulations on its finish. Hope you can get your mat board cut by your framer. What a lovely quilt . The colors and squares are amazing. Great FT Karen.

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment on my projects. I did get the mat board cut at HL. I will report on it next time. See you again soon. Best, K

Finally caught up with you tonight Karen. Congratulations on your 4,000 subscribers. Happy to say I've been there since the beginning & have enjoyed every episode. I love those mason jars, they are going to look wonderful framed. Even though I dont quilt, I really enjoy learning about yours. It has given me a deeper appreciation of the time & effort that goes into such beautiful pieces. Till next time, take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪

Congratulations on finishing your Mason Jar Lineup! It is beautiful! I need to have a finishing party as my smalls pile is getting bigger! Happy stitching!

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

It is so easy to put off finishing. It takes time away from stitching, which is what we really enjoy. It does really feel good to get those things done, though. I am pretty good at making myself follow a plan. If I designate a day in my mind when I WILL do something, I usually follow through. Good luck getting yours done. See you next time. Best, K

[@cindygaudet1390]

Hi! Great to see you! Oh Hathaway stitchers are awesome! Oh found her too and imagine consider the lilies and changing it for a first piece! Oh everything is great and finishes are just right, the strawberry is adorable! Oh drum is a great match. The counting is hard is such a cute piece and flat fold turned out well. I am thinking a guillotine cutter may work for matt board, perhaps? Oh,my! I will have to pull out my mason jar when finished totem! Beautiful!

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

Thank you so much for your comment on my video. I am happy to know that you enjoyed what you saw. You are absolutely right that a guillotine cutter would work on mat board, but I am trying not to accumulate more gadgets that only get used once in a while. Vonna Pfeiffer has a cutter for mat board, but she is a professional. The cost at HL was very reasonable. I will share about that next time. See you again soon. Best, K

[@joanneenglishgantt5827]

I loved to see all the fun designs you made with your rulers. I have some rulers that came with my baby lock and have no idea how to use them! You’re smart!

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

Is your Baby Lock a domestic machine, or a long arm? Learning to use rulers and learning different quilting designs is quite a challenge either way. I gave up on quilting on my domestic and was very fortunate to be able to swing getting a long arm. See you again soon. Best, K

[@joanneenglishgantt5827]

The rulers came as part of a promotion that accompanied the babylock crescendo purchase. I bought the Solaris and crescendo together and they both have a quilting feature but the long arms are much more ideal. Wish I had one but then I would have to learn to use it.🤪 I actually haven’t been in my sewing room for a while but you have inspired me! Thanks so much!

[@DeeAZstitcher]

The Drum looks Great! Awesome flat-fold. Vonna is so kind to share her techniques with us. Mason Jars look fabulous, the Backstitching, French Knots ... The most I've done are 3 strand French Knots, I can't imagine 5 !!! Very Nice WIPS especially the Smith Sampler. I only use Petite needles when stitching smalls in hand. I bought a bunch of the Dritz snag nab-it tools, so they can be some of my project bags. Very nice quilt, I like the roof. The Hexagon color path looks very cool.

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

Wow Karen! You have been busy these last two weeks! Your FFOs are perfection and the finish of Mason Jar Lineup is gorgeous! I can hardly wait to see your things coming back from the framer. Your new focus piece is going to be such a lovely legacy of stitching for your family. Today's quilt is a beautiful combination of fabric (prints & colors) and quilting stitches. I love anything with houses and/or baskets and this project has both! Have a wonderful two weeks and see you next time! xoxoxo

[@SquashHouseQuiltsandStitches]

Great finishes Karen...I love the mason jars! I wonder if we ever ran across one another when I was quilt blogging! I also longarmed until we recently moved to a smaller space where it would not fit. I often thought about those early days when we just stitched in the ditch, and could I go back and add quilting once it was bound. Have you done this before? I'm anxious to see how it turns out! I'll be watching😊 Hugs, Candace

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

Candace, If your blog had the same name that is on your comment, I don't think we crossed paths. My blog was Karen's Sewing Room. Very creative. I have added quilting on a quilt that was not bound, but had been taken off the long arm and put back on. I plan to pin strips of fabric at the binding so I can quilt very close to the edge. I'll let you know how it goes. See you next time. Happy stitching. Best, K
