LIVE: Petit Four QAL with Sparkle Star Foundation Paper & 2 New Quilt Books! - Behind the Seams

[@jlfilbeck]

I am home from work, as a teacher, with strep throat so I got to watch earlier than normal. Thank you for another fabulous Friday.

[@dianaballew6329]

Eye delight, seeing all the new fabrics! I like that you also include a little tutorial each time as well. Thanks Kimberly!

[@sandybruce9092]

Earlier today I spent several hours lusting over all the “coming soon” fabrics, etc. so many I really, really, want!!!

[@terrigunning5745]

I always look forward to Friday morning to watch you.

[@sandybruce9092]

I’m really late to this QAL so I’ve already put the papers in my basket and I’m thunking about adding the 6” square pack, too (I love foundation paper piecing!). Probably my biggest challenge is to find layer cakes (or even FQ bundles) of fabric that I really like. Yes, I do have plenty here at home, but it’s the fun of trying to find something new👍👍😁😁😁

[@shelleyopland4041]

I watch every show.

[@lauraruthruff4741]

Thank you Kimberly and FQS for this QAL. I really enjoy putting together these smaller quilts. I work long hours and find it challenging to finish a large quilt. I really enjoy paper piecing and love how this quilt came out. I hope to find more projects from you in the future. I'm also excited about Lori Holts new book. I'm a big fan of her work and am currently working on her Quilt seed flowers to make a bed runner.

[@deloresrast8543]

Enjoyed this video! Loved seeing the new items and sale items. Love that Lori has a new book coming.

[@ingridtinsley4141]

Hi Kimberly, Before your special edition silver machine, you used to have a regular white Juki machine. Why don't you use that one. Also, you are not going to have your machine back from the mechanic, probably in several weeks, so you need to find a solution. You can always use your Baby Lock machine, take the one from the store to your house, or buy a second machine for your house. I hope this helps 😊

[@sandybruce9092]

This is why I have more than one machine!! Actually I have about 19 machines, but more than half are vintage Singers from 1926 to about 1960! (I’m feeling so embarrassed!!!😳😳)

[@Paula-m2q2s]

Another great show with lots of good content. Can’t wait for Lori’s book. Love your petit four’s quilt- looks amazing. Thanks

[@margaretlowans8429]

I'm sorry you were confused, but it's nice to see even experienced quilters can sometimes forget. Thank you for showing this tutorial warts and all.

[@debs.1453]

Thanks so much for showing us how to use our label. I enjoyed this video. I have the Petit four quilt on my list to do. I love the ombre dots.

[@kathleenfangmeyer7574]

Thanks Kimberly and FQS team. Great live, looking forward to next week! Love seeing all the new fabrics ❤

[@caroltemperley2261]

Love your Petit Four quilt, Kimberly ❤ Thanks for the peek at the new fabric for the future. Great show !

[@hallieclougherty2863]

I totally love the Petite Four sew along! The paper pads are so fantastic. I was a very beginner on paper piecing, I love it now!!

[@suzanneramsay7757]

To center your motif in the paper block, you could use a light box or window

[@marlahanks7278]

Oh my, I could sew those Sparkle Stars all day!!!! So fun & cute 🥰🥰

[@sonjadalglish6544]

I love the way the label turned out!! Beautiful.

[@cackley1965]

Your Petit Four quilt is beautiful, thank you for all of the inspiration you provide!

[@dianeandress7963]

so sorry i missed wishing you a happy birthday...hope you had a great day

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thanks Kimberly and team...appreciate all you share❤❤

[@deborahpruden4792]

Tulip Cottage was my favorite today. Feel better!

[@nrobinson7951]

Hi Kimberly and crew. Thanks for sharing

[@Helen_Amt]

Prairie Home Quilt Book looks so cozy, perfect for coldish weather times :)

[@deedodson9661]

Thank you for showing how you do the labels. Super helpful!! I am going to place my order to Sweetwater now

[@Mom2Derby]

As always, a great Friday show! Thanks Kimberly!

[@terryblair966]

Hope you feel better! Have a nice weekend!

[@Frankie-Woody]

So sorry about your sewing machine. Sure I would be in tears. I told myself I was not going to buy anymore quilt books. What''s one more. The Prairie Home Quilt book is on my list. Love the labels you use. Thanks for sharing.

[@terrimccluskey1979]

Thank you!!

[@robyncarpenter]

Thank you for explaining Linen. Wanting to purchase but wasn’t sure of texture.

[@saffronflora]

Love the Sparkle Stars ❤ The Prairie Book looks amazing 🤩 The Thankful Panel would be great made into throw pillows ❤ Family Favorites, love the stars 🤩 Thank you for another great video Kimberly

[@sandykretzer2958]

Love the label idea! Holding it up to a window or a light box is a big time saver for aligning the center:)

[@nedrarichardson7656]

I like the label idea. Thanks for the tutorial! Feel better soon.

[@BrendaH289]

I made a picnic quilt out of Michael Miller for our camper

[@klz4377]

Kimberly, hope you feel better soon❤

[@tammyingle233]

As always, wonderful show. I have to pre-order Sheri & Chelsi book. I have the Christmas one, but have made the patterns into baby quilts, not Christmas. Love the baby fabrics.

[@suejameson1517]

Loved the houses fabric and realised I am definitely a “brights” person! Some of those collections are not for me but must delight others. I am hoping you will carry the wonderful grass cloth collection from Anna’s Treasures by Riley Blake. It’s beautiful and different. Hope you feel better

[@terryblair966]

Tulip cottage is so pretty!

[@colescornerandcreations3870]

Soooo excited for Loris new book! ❤❤❤

[@bethanykalb1301]

Tip I learned recently was to use a UV flashlight to see the right side of tone on tone fabrics.

[@angiedanilovich2661]

Feel better, Kimberly!

[@mindyharris5914]

Love watching you!

[@klsmcarr]

Love the box lantern quilt, might have to joint this pat sloan sew along.

[@heidilehnig3099]

Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks ❤

[@brendawall7846]

The finished one is the flip side.

[@TheBethoula]

Thanks!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

hank you very much!

[@terryblair966]

I love the Michael Miller

[@robertacaruthers7568]

Hope you get to feeling better, Kimberly.

[@terryblair966]

This is a cute quilt book

[@terryblair966]

Hi everyone, Terry from Ohio

[@jorobinson7307]

Love it😊

[@tessahouse9960]

The new Lori Holt book that’s coming out, does it have sampler quilts in it? Her books are always so cheerful, I can’t wait!

[@HelenRodriguez-d4p]

The reason it is showing different is that the pattern is reversed when you sew it together. It is the inverse (opposite) of the print on top.

[@jaynebromley]

I could use more tips on cutting and reading patterns. I’ve mis-read some patterns recently and had issues with the cutting.

[@BrendaH289]

Marcus Bros reminds me of Anne of Green Gables

[@louisecharlton]

I wish the Designer Mystery Box was thicker like it used to be.... then I have room for my 12 blocks and some fabrics. The thinner boxes pop open when a lot of the blocks are in....

[@nicolehanson6323]

When is, or was, your birthday, Kimberly? Mine was March 3! I have never met anyone with the same date as me, and I am OLD! Happy Birthday to us and anyone else in March!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Nicole! Kimberly's birthday was March 7th.

[@nicolehanson6323]

Thank you! Happy Birthday to us!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Happy Birthday!

[@todaysdentalcare4049]

Should we remove the sticky off quilt labels always? Or is it ok to iron them to a piece of fabric and then stitch it in?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

We recommend it but it is not required.

[@coribeckett7400]

Kimberly, you didn’t do anything wrong. The images on the paper are reversed from the actual block. You did it right.

[@katiecassaday1726]

Where can I get Kimberly’s tips on the brown ironing board problem? I have same issue. 😊

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Katie! Kimberly's tips are available here: kzbin.info97MtTjiEwp4?si=d8gWuB4GtGst15yN&t=4805

[@User-ke2pp]

С любовью из России! Спасибо!

[@teri2941]

Is the navy on the quilt on the left available, and name please.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Teri! Yes, that is our Moonbeams Charity Quilt www.fatquartershop.com/strawberry-lemonade-moonbeams-quilt-kit

[@jmedstitchgirl90]

Question are you guys gonna restock my Christmas list from silver Creek samplers

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Jennifer! We will contact her and get back to you.

[@sharonreeves4591]

I bought the Lori Hoit paper, I'm glad I haaven't used it since Kimberly is having such a hard time with it. The Snail Trail paper is problematic also.

[@tammyhinkle5890]

Anybody else not exactly happy about the box forthe Mystery Quilt 24 being slimmer? I really LOVED the width of the 21 and 22 boxes. They gave enough room it fit all the blocks and fabric and instructions and a little more... Cause Kimberly gives so much extra fabric I was able to make 2 each month. I'm afraid the stuff that I want to keep together for the Mystery Block of the Month WON'T fit and I'll have to use something else and have it 2 places...... See what I'm getting at?

[@patbraman639]

I heard you say “that’s how we’re decorating the nursery “.?”l

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Pat! No, Kimberly is not decorating a nursery.

[@BrendaH289]

So now I’m confused… do you put the right side of the fabric towards the paper or not?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Brandy! The fabric in the middle is right side up and the rest of the fabric you need to put right sides together so that when you press your block all sides will face the same way.

[@BrendaH289]

@@FatQuarterShopTX thank you that’s what I thought but wanted to make sure

[@judydaniel3607]

You have to turn the undone ones over

[@vickioneill1766]

You need to turn the one you sewed over!

[@gomezpnp]

❤❤

[@joyceloszewski7042]

What is the name of the small red ruler you used?

[@laurahenry397]

It is the Add a Quarter ruler.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Joyce! We have them here Kimberly's Foundation Paper Piecing Starter Kit: bit.ly/4bXrvU2

[@linda5278]

Kimberly, The backside of the quilt could be the top b/c of your precision, just saying. Beautiful!

[@creativecats4682]

That’s a different Vanessa, right? Not Vanessa/Lella Boutique.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello creative cats! Yes, That is correct V & Co is Vanessa Christenson.

[@lindadavis8082]

The finished block is reversed!

[@terryblair966]

What is her name again?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Terry! Do you remember the bundle name?
