How to repurpose pieces of fabric and turn them into beautiful quilts by ARNE & CARLOS

[@lisabissett9940]

A friend lived near a ribbon factory and used salvage to make wonderful crazy quilts. My family treasures those she gave to us.

[@bnyzhny]

Superb!!! Absolutely Elegant!!! Please more videos on quilting 👏👏👏😍

[@marshaflorom5036]

What joy! I love quilts! Thanks so much! Great video! Marsha

[@paulam.5785]

I can't believe those beautiful patchworks were stuffed into walls. So glad you have saved them.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We know!

[@yowgyrl]

So Carlos is the practical one, and Arne is the one that gets distracted by shiny things! Love it!

[@ARNECARLOS]

That sums it up

[@nahyunkim6335]

Wanna call it Memorial quilt. How lovely!!

[@teresabourgoin2948]

This video came at the perfect time. My parents are in a convalescent home and my dad passed away last Monday. I saved all his dress shirts from his closet. My Mom is so lonely without him as they have been married 62 years. Her space is small and she can’t have a lot of personal items there. I will take those shirts today and start her crazy quilt from them. A quilt is something personal she can have. Her birthday is in three weeks. A quilt from dads shirts will be a wonderful gift for her. Thank You so much.

[@moniklds]

Beautiful!

[@DarcieGlam]

Great idea!

[@jeanandrews6977]

What a lovely idea and it will bring your mom so much joy.

[@amyahdocq8835]

What a wonderful idea... would like to see it when finished

[@bajaboolie]

Just discovered this channel via this recommended video. I think my grandmother somehow had a hand in putting it on my feed. I am currently making a quilt using leftover pieces from her dresses. I also have my mom’s old taffeta wedding dress from the 1960’s that I don’t know what to do with, thinking that material wouldn’t work for a quilt. You guys have helped me realize that rules are meant to be broken & to think outside the box. Thank you!!!

[@anushashyamkumar5036]

I enjoy watching you both !! Its very relaxing :)

[@lynnbean7200]

That first tablecloth with lace is absolutely beautiful. I just love it.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

You two are so creative. It is nice you have each other to bounce ideas off of. I love your quilt ideas.

[@linettelow]

The way Arne sniffed the beautiful lace like a deer in the garden made me chuckle and smile :D Your passion as designers is evident and so inspiring. Cheers for adding warmth & sunshine to our days. ♡

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@cindytenis7275]

Loved this video. I’m getting enthused! More, more, more!

[@sammiller1649]

So nice to see Arne in his element! His passion and creativity was really obvious in this podcast. Thanks guys!

[@lynnbean7200]

Arne is amazing. Boundless creativity.

[@zz-by4jb]

You two just make my day! Your joy and the beautiful inspiration you share is wonderful. Your quilts and fabrics are lovely. Thank you so much for again sharing such personal pieces from your lives. I hope you had a Happy Birthday Carlos 🎉🎂🎉 and I hope you and Arne and Freja did something special.

[@julbea]

Love to see the passion you both have for past treasures.

[@iHanna]

This is SO my style of quilting, the free form style! Thanks for sharing your pretty quilting ideas, I hope you do it again soon. It's awesome!

[@rachellelewis8705]

You two are so good with your hands. Really admire your creativity.

[@alicebair1811]

I love lace as much as you do, Arne!! 💜

[@wendyferraro8552]

Gentlemen thank you for the video! The quilt with all of the beautiful designer fabrics made my heart go pitter patter, but alas it something that I will not do for the fact that I have no experience working with those types of fabrics. However, when the second quilt-in-progress was pulled out it reminded me of the set of quilts I finished for my daughters, completed with my father's shirts. He passed 10 years ago, and some of those shirts were at least 6 or 7 years old themselves making them somewhat threadbare. All were plaid, fitting for an older American man, and the quilts were finished off with a dark chambray to resemble blue jeans. Tears were had all around. (The girls made me promise to save enough fabric for my own quilt) It is my favorite thing to do to make a quilt to remember a special occasion or friendship. I may never make a masterpiece but I will make something that touches the heart and for me, that is much more important.

[@Lory_D]

Beautiful heritage.....each piece has a story...love it.

[@deborahgiles8214]

That is a stunning collection of textiles. I love your projects. One of the things I get most excited about is "transparency" and layering of fabrics because of the endless variations and beautiful effects that can be created. Thanks for sharing your creations.

[@darlenecuker9711]

Brocade. The fabric with dyed threads woven into a pattern. Thanks again for a lovely video. This is so inspiring.

[@margaretbedwell58]

This is the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@sharonmiller2940]

You two are so enjoyable to watch. I'm in love with your work!

[@Marisol0625]

You both are so talented . . . Enjoy all your videos.

[@susanthompson6803]

I am so thrilled that I came across your KZbin! I have a great deal of fabric in storage in another town, and you all really made me long to be able to get to it and do something with it! What, I don’t know, but it would be so much fun! I will be on the look-out for more from the two of you! Have a great time quilting!

[@patriciacoughlin1654]

I am so in awe of you two. 💛

[@wendyproud2201]

This is inspirational and feeds my need to preserve our histories.

[@reneevrieling8386]

Thank you for the Inspiration...your passion is obvious and Beautiful!! I really enjoy watching your videos...Thank you!!

[@Megan-qq1lo]

This is a fabulous idea! My mom and I are going to gather family/heritage fabrics to make a quilt. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@carolcharles770]

You two are absolutely amazing with your work x

[@missygeorge1315]

Arne’s love of all beautiful fabric and lace is wonderful. My friends know I sew and make quilts, so they give me scraps all the time. I love everyone of them.

[@alisonjones3057]

I don't knit but I do embroidery , so I really enjoyed this video . It would be great to see more textiles , embroidery and making textile journals ! 😃 Thanks xxx

[@carola.6990]

OMG!! So sweet seeing how excited you are with the gorgeous fabric. 🤗🥰🇨🇦

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@wakanavkirachel8068]

Already you two have Broaden my insight and medias-choice .. subscribing. And, sharing. [also saw just now your journaling posting... and your wording of..." help keep your ideas'" again, was an eyeopener for me... ] That you would layer, and layer... well.. yes!!! Never thought of that.. some have, I didn't!!

[@veroniquevialard313]

This video makes my heart smile! Glad you are back and hope that you enjoyed your time away!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We did, thank you, we hope you had a nice summer!

[@leighrinker]

Fabulous. I can't wait to see more. My culture does a lot of crazy quilts. I have my father's clothes that I am going to make a quilt with for my mother and then one for me. I made Christmas socks with my mother in laws clothes after she died during the winter holidays. It really helped me with my grief.

[@paulinewqi]

Wow!!...just discovered you 2 masters on KZbin. .. Hopefully to watch more... Thanks for sharing. ..

[@dorothygriffiths6626]

Hello lovely Guys, a wonderful vlog tonight. Like Teresa I have my darling husband’s shirts which I cannot bear to part with. He was a climber and I have many old shirts that he wore on the mountains. You have inspired me to make a quilt from them all which will not only keep me warm but will help me feel connected to him. Thank you both, as always you are so inspiring and fun too😃😃. Big hugs and loves to you both, Dorothy xxxxxxxx😘🙋🏻❤️ Teresa, many good wishes to you and your lovely Mumxxxxxxxx

[@justmakeitwithloveangelajo7439]

[@catherinemorgan9916]

I love all of this so much. Thank you for sharing.

[@nancyfrix6858]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video! I have always loved & saved fabric as well.

[@mayolson2]

Foundation piecing is my favorite quilt. It is so interesting what you can come up with!

[@elizabethdelong6431]

The fabric with the bird is very beautiful! The lace patches are so elegant! Quilting should be very personal and tell A story of your life!

[@grammadovey5706]

Oh my goodness, this was such an exciting video to watch! The passion for the fabrics was intoxicating! And the walk down memory lane was so touching! I've watched your knitting videos, but have never seen Arne so alive and passionate. What a beautiful, inspiring video! And it was also inspiring to see you using reclaimed fabric for those stunning quilts.

[@beverleyscorgie7487]

Hi.... fron South Africa I.love you ideas, like things like that.beautiful

[@monicabermea7652]

Precious precious beautiful work!

[@jacquelinehorton9983]

[@maggiebowden1399]

Yes you are so right, you’ve inspired me to get my collection of scarves and use them. Once again thank you x Maggie x

[@ARNECARLOS]

Go for it!

[@janikabertone3209]

After seeing this pot I wish you two had a post office box. I would love to send you some old quilt squares that are sitting in my cedar chest. I will never get around to doing anything with them. Sigh. Keep the pods coming I truly enjoy watching you both. So talented.💠💠💠

[@patriciadoutreligne9749]

So beautiful... Thank's from Spain

[@jacquiwilmot9602]

oooh! i LOVE YOU GUYS! You have given me that extra inspiration to bring out some of my precious lace and trimming and start applique again. Please do more with beautiful old fabric, it makes my heart sing! xx

[@destinbelleknits5788]

I haven’t thought about my grandmother’s “rag bag” in years! She had scraps from everything .... thanks for bringing a precious memory back to me....

[@robindudleyhowes]

Wow I just found your channel! I love all of your textiles and the way you put them all together thanks for sharing!

[@nadiak9099]

OMG! I loved this video! I already repurposed worn out flannel pyjamas and cute baby blankets I just couldn’t give away into rag quilts & I love them. Recently, I made a super quick patchwork blanket out of a bunch of pyjamas my daughter loved but had outgrown. I also can not bear to throw away fabric - you gave a whole new world of inspiration for my next quilt! Thanks so much! I absolutely love your design inspiration videos! The art journal one was also amazingly inspiring bcs I also can not throw away pretty paper but didn’t know what to do with it. Please, keep making these inspiration videos, it gets creative juices flowing! :-D

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are so glad you enjoyed it! we will continue...

[@KarlafromOZ]

I've started making a crazy quilt from my mums dresses, her gowns and deb dress ect, all the fancy stuff she had. I've made first a cushion for her from some :) :) i know she isn't into what i do at all, but it's still something i've made , so part of her life is still around.

[@judithtaylor6916]

Absolutely gorgeous fabric, sequined material and lace.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@bethiebigs550]

The first lace quilt was amazing! They were all beautiful! I love making crazy quilts as well. Thank you for sharing!

[@Lola.2248]

Good morning Arne & Carlos! So wonderful to see you both! WOW!!! Gorgeous fabric samples!!! I LOVE your ideas! Inspiration along with tutorials are very important. Sometimes you know what to do but can't come up with an idea. Others, you have an idea but don't know how to implement it lol! Showcasing both as is so incredibly done here is the complete package!

[@annieboulton5759]

Beautiful pieces. Thanks for your video. I would just love to have a rummage through your stash guys lol xxx

[@scarlettskies100]

you are inspired and inspiring glad i found your channel.....subscribed

[@dianefishburn9913]

Thank you! I am so inspired. I was in despair about what to do about the old doll clothes(some in pieces) and old linens some made by my great grandmother. Now I have so many ideas!! More quilt videos please! Also I would love to hear ideas about other ways to use old fabrics and linens.

[@Dailywhatnots]

So inspirational. Thank you!

[@melanienicholson2834]

I adore your creativity. I came just in time for me to make my granddaughter a quilt. I want to try my hand at making new fabric out of scraps and than cut out cats to applique. I just finished my grandsons quilt. So time to put all this creative thinking to good use.

[@indesrpringles5356]

Lovely work, very inspiring. Will def start a quilt with all the scraps I've collected over the years. I do my own stitching. Thank you. Greetings from Mussoorie, India

[@gretataylor8987]

I love to see all the ways you both use your creativity! The patchwork pieces from fabric found at Arne's family home remind me a great deal of two patchwork quilts that I have that my great grandmother made. Lucky for me, my mother had her tell her the story of the different fabrics used in the quilt and Mama wrote them down. It makes these two quilts even more special knowing their history! Love your podcast and look forward to spending my Sunday afternoons with the two of you.

[@TheMellis01]

It’s all so beautiful, they bring back so many fond memories. When I was young I became the very proud owner of a patchwork quilt and that has kept me enthralled with all of it, the quilt was made with leftover pieces of old worn out clothing and then I embroidered different pictures all over it. (As well as all my clothes and anything else I was allowed to. Lol.) Thank you so much for the video with wonderful ideas and influences, and a truly awesome trip down memory lane. Thanks guys ❤️👋🏻😁

[@carinaschembri9802]

Wow love you art very much. Man märker tydligt på er att ni älskar detta, när ni visar upp era tyger mm. Kommer se igenom allt ni gjort. //CarinaSchembri/Sweden

[@carolekinsey7835]

Loved this idea. It's a perfect way to create memory pieces. Favourite bits and bobs of beautiful pieces of... well...anything material. Haha and who can resist a pearl or two, or three or four or.... Very creative and beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! I love crazy quilting. Tend to piece everything and then put squares in my UFO bin until I get motivated for the embroidery- which usually happens when you all feature embroidery. Thanks again for sharing your craft and your passion. :-)

I have large jars of teeny tiny fabric scraps from dressmaking and now I feel inspired to start making a crazy quilt
