Great Quilting Haul! What a way to start 2025!!

[@anncantlin9710]

I love that you use Joanne’s and don’t act like it’s bad fabric . Good for you👍

[@pickinstitches]

Thank you! I did have a blue that had a crazy dye bleed, but as long as your careful and prewash.

[@rosehixon2790]

Kellee, I really like that you show me why that you bought each fabric. A lot of KZbinrs just show that they went on a Fabric spending spree and I really don’t care what somebody else has purchased. You are the exception because you have a purpose for things you buy and it’s nice to see how you’re finishing our sampler quilts. You are a great KZbin presenter and I love following all of your videos. Happy new year.

[@pickinstitches]

Thanks so much! I try to show why I buy fabric for each quilt so that it is a bit more helpful. I really love getting to share my projects!

[@WaterfallFW]

Cute quilts

[@pickinstitches]

Thank you!

[@pickinstitches]

Thank you!

[@judimills6713]

Joanne’s sells Moda 108” fabric for backing as well! I shop Joanne’s and Hobby Lobby for great fabrics! I also take my quilt tops with me makes it so much easier to make a decision! Thank you so much for such informative and inspirational videos! I see you do only see sampler, have you tried Bella Rose Quilt subscription box, it absolutely fabulous it’s a bimonthly box so 6 per year but so awesome! 😊

[@pickinstitches]

Thanks so much for the tips, I need to check online. I dont think my Joanns does much with quilting.

[@judimills6713]

@@pickinstitches they sell it in my store here in Georgia but it’s in a different place they have a lot of quilt backings as does Hobby lobby.

[@pickinstitches]

Im Jelly!

[@joycevasey2312]

You did great girl!!! Good luck finishing those quilts. Hopefully you will share them with us.

[@pickinstitches]

Thanks for the good luck wishes!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

If you watch the sales you can get flannel for $3 or $4/ yard at Joanns. I have an assortment of 5 yard pieces for quilt backs -- plaids, tie-dyes, dinosaurs, florals, celestials, snowflakes -- they don't have to be baby themed. I love flannel for a backing. Just pre-wash. Thanks for sharing

[@laurarose6829]

An 11 inch piece makes a reusable paper towel

[@pickinstitches]

Flannel is the best backing fabric! I'm just a TX and then TN gal. So it's not super cold... but flannel feels great!

[@sheilaobrien4459]

Thanks for sharing your fabric combos! Wow, you have a lot of quilts, for gifts, or perhaps you sell some! Really like that teal blue leaf print backing in your first quilt, I'll look for that in Joann.

[@pickinstitches]

I love finding those unique prints, I'll have to show you the finished quilt!

[@nummielewis4325]

Awesome buys,.

[@pickinstitches]

I am excited to get started on these!

[@virginialegault4699]

I have the best luck buying backing from Marshall Dry Goods plus background fabric. Just got for $4.95/ yard. I also buy bundles of backing 10 3 yard 108” pieces . I buy bundles that have colors I normally use.

[@pickinstitches]

Oh! I keep forgetting about them. But when I buy things online I always seem to just add to my stash because the colors are so hard to match.

[@terrimccluskey1979]

Kelly, You did great. I think the Haul was worth every penny. I agree, you can get some good fabrics at Joann's. I go there when I don't want to wait or need something right away.

[@pickinstitches]

I love finding good deals! I always have to check the clearance racks too!

[@kathydruge6165]

yay!

[@pickinstitches]

@@kathydruge6165 thanks!!

[@tinamcmahan5107]

Kelly what a great hall! I think you were very frugal. I mean some quilt kits are more than that. You even got a whole bolt of fabric as well. Thanks for sharing your haul and letting people know you don’t have to purchase big name brands to have a beautiful quilt!

[@pickinstitches]

Thanks so much! I always try to be mindful of my budget!

[@karenmorton3849]

Nothing like a fabric haul to make your day! I'm going to my local fabric shop today! (maybe I shouldn't have watched your video first!😆) Love your large tote. Thanks for a fun video.

[@pickinstitches]

@karenmorton3849 good luck!! May you find exactly what you NEED, lol!

[@lindabostedt1224]

you got a great bargain!!!1

[@pickinstitches]

Im pretty excited to wrap these all up!

[@melissawriglesworth7123]

I have been getting fabric at Hobby Lobby lately. The colors seem to be more on trend with my sew sampler quilts. Great haul. I use Joann also. Great deals on books.

[@pickinstitches]

Hobby Lobby has some great fabrics for sure! I need to get back in there too!

[@RawKnitter]

You are incredibly productive! 🌸 How many quilts do you average per year? Good for you, getting ready to finish your UFOs! 👍🏻

[@pickinstitches]

@RawKnitter thank you! Lol, I haven't counted. I'm not too good at the note keeping etc. But im.going to try to put together a quilt show for 2024. Or at least the ones I haven't given away yet!

[@Andasibeorange]

That dusty green would go great with your Camille quilt. She has a green like that in the line and it is fabulous!!!

[@pickinstitches]

Great Idea!

[@brendaryan306]

When I first learned to quilt in the 90's, the quilt shop/teaching studio taught us to just use muslin as a backing. The quilting fabric was super expensive then and in limited supply. When I came back to it just before COVID, everything was now machine pieced, and we are using quilt fabric as backing. Times have changed. Sadly, my JoAnns has eliminated their quilter's showcase fabric. I am very lucky there is an SR Harris nearby where all batiks, Timeless Treasures, Andover and some Moda, etc. are all half price. You would love it

[@pickinstitches]

It is amazing how much things have changed! Some of my favorite quilts growing up had flannel... but our homes are warmer these days and Im not sure Id use it if it was too hot!

[@cherylwhaley2427]

Beautiful fabric. I love your videos.

[@pickinstitches]

Thank you so much!

[@JillAnnDenton]

I didn't catch the name of the quilt with the big flowers on it? I love it so much!

[@pickinstitches]

@JillAnnDenton its called Perennials from the November FQS Sew Sampler. This Sew Sampler- tinyurl.com/PickinStitchesFQS

[@KerryHull-h6h]

It still averages about $5 a yard that’s impressive 💕

[@pickinstitches]

I got too many yards! I think 20 were not needed, lol

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

Oh I love that aqua with the white birds n swirls. It IS SO cute! You will use it and be happy you have that bolt! Love that quilt book idea! So organized!! Thanks for the link, I am buying one! 🥰 Fun haul!!

[@pickinstitches]

That aqua fabric is so much fun! I can't wait to use it!

[@glenicelange4651]

WOW you are so lucky to be able to buy so much fabric for that price. I was only able to buy wide back fabric for 3 quilts on sale in Australia for that price

[@pickinstitches]

I don't always find such great deals but I try! I do love a wide back!! Unfortunately none of these are over the standard 40 inches wide.

[@KerryHull-h6h]

That’s amazing cost for 37 yards of fabric, good job👍

[@pickinstitches]

I just realized I bought 20 yds I didn't NEED! LOL:)

[@pamward7676]

I think you got a deal. The finishing kits the last several months for sew sampler have been costly to compare with what you spent.

[@pickinstitches]

The finishing kits are so pretty though!!

[@judyzeigler3980]

I love all the things you do. And I am always worried about JoAnns fabric. But with the sales going on I have revisited Joannes and picked up quite a few yards of fabric myself to do a backing for a baby quilt and I’m finding it some of the fabric is a lot better quality than it used to be not all of it. I’m pretty picky too but yeah, I have picked up quite a few sales yards😊

[@pickinstitches]

I’m glad you found some good quality fabrics! You do have to be careful but the prices are usually too good to pass up.

[@marieerickson9695]

Love your purchases!❤

[@pickinstitches]

Thanks so much!

[@waikikialoha6300]

Your quilts really are beautiful and I love the fabrics you bought for the borders, bindings and backings. Great haul!!

[@pickinstitches]

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to start sewing! I have all three startched and one border cut and ready to install.

[@janetmartin7719]

$175 for 37yds of fabric….you did great! I love your quilt tops!

[@pickinstitches]

Aww thanks so much!!

[@anitamartin7639]

$175. Is fantastic for how much yardage you got!! Thanks for sharing

[@pickinstitches]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@ellenbarrett2993]

Love quilt 2 colors you chose

[@pickinstitches]

Thank you!!

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

Wow!!!! That’s an awesome price!

[@pickinstitches]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@wendynowlen1326]

Love it! I am making a baby quilt for someone in WA state. I bought the exact green with white trees and blue with white stars from Joann’s! I have extra so may use it with Dec sew sampler also 🤯

[@pickinstitches]

Awesome! I think I have the star pattern you are talking about. I bough it to make the pillowcases for my scout troop next year :)

[@brontebenoit6181]

A great haul! 🎉🎉🎉

[@pickinstitches]

Happy to share my new fabric finds with you!

[@michellejaggard9657]

Kelly you did fantasic. I also shop at Joanns but I have to feel the fabric there to make sure what I am getting, would not order on line.

[@pickinstitches]

@michellejaggard9657 yes! Totally, I buy a lot online and pick up in store. And their return policy is really good if you don't like the fabric.

[@PurpleReign69]

Where did you get your black and white bag that you transport your quilt tops in?

[@pickinstitches]

Its a bag for closet storage from IKEA. let me see if I can find it.

[@Catenucho]

Alguien sabe de tiendas de telas con buenos precios en Dallas... agradezco su atención... gracias !!!

[@pickinstitches]

No lo sé, but you certainly have Joanns there:) stay warm!!

[@Catenucho]
