[@karenlittle2905]

Wow -- what a month! It makes my head spin :) Moving is an adventure -- it sure has its ups and downs during the process. Been there, done that too many times in my 75 years of life! You will need some new clothes whee you are going -- they do have true winter there! Good luck in the adventure -- I'll be watching and applauding you along the way.

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Yep, I will have to add to my wardrobe for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@szelop]

I loved the roses in this line! I started a quilt but it was in the teapots!

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Nice! I did that one too if you’re talking about the man Hatter’s tea party quilt.

[@lindafugate2938]

Happy belated birthday! A little trick I used when packing for a cross country move - use a box number & room location on boxes. Then, using a loose leaf binder list everything in that box with the corresponding box number on a page. Example - box 1 is kitchen & has cooking utensils, kitchen towels, & dish liquid. The next number can be a different number location. Just be specific. The binder is in case there is little / no service for a data retrieval. Also list room names that match the boxes over the doors to speed up unloading. 4 people unloaded my entire move in about an hour with this system.

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Great tips! Thank you for sharing.

[@CottonCutsClub]

Wow you had a great month! We can't wait to see Calamity come to life.

So glad you are moving close to my area. Welcome!!!!

Oh and wanted to let you know I am now a proud owner of a 1950 Centennial Featherweight. I’m so excited to sew on it.

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

@brendaogden3404 that’s amazing! Congratulations!

[@carmenmullins8901]

Happy birthday and welcome to the Commonwealth of Virginia! :) I am a Texas native living in Virginia and just got back from Plano (visiting family). You will love living in Virginia. I met Becca at Quiltcon earlier this year and hope to meet you in the future. Have fun with the move and I hope you are able to get settled quickly. Take care.

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

I'm so excited! I can't wait for this new chapter.

[@donnamoxley8624]

Happy Birthday Ian!!! My sister lives in Fredricksburg. They love Va and Im sure you will too!

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

I can't wait! It is going to be exciting.

[@soniawebers5139]

Good luck on your move to Virginia 😊‼️

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Thank you!

[@susanonealsmith8434]

Oh wow!! So excited for you!! Moving to Museum Central, perfect! One more summer, and you’re outta here!☀️

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Can't wait! This summer is going to be SO long!

[@janetfitzgerald984]

You're a sweet soul, Ian. Happy Birthday. Here's to many more filled with love, good health and happiness (and a smooth move!!).

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Thank you! Yes to all of that!

[@gracepatane9384]

WOW - I can’t believe the volume of quilts that you make and put out, and each one is prettier than the other. Do you give away most of the quilts that you make? I had a suspicion that Virginia was going to be your new home, and I hope that your move goes well, and that you’ll be very happy in your new surroundings, and also that you find a good quilt guild!! I think you will be very happy with the east coast! I live in New York, out on Long Island. I tried a very brief move to Arizona, but made my way back to NY after about 5 months!! But, you don’t know until you try it!! Good Luck to all your quilt show entries! Hope you get lots of ribbons!!!🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Thank you so much! At some point I would like to put the quilts I want to sell online but that will have to wait until after the move.

[@DonnellsStitchery]

That colorway is gorgeous too. I signed up for dusty Rose

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Nice! I can’t wait to see how all the colorways come out.

[@DonnellsStitchery]

@@OffKilterCrafterIan me too. Dang I should of stuck with my first thought of Virginia

[@peggersf9709]

👋👋 🎉Happy Birthday 🥳. I’m a Gemini also whoop whoop 😂😂😂

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

WOOHOO! Gemini are the best!

[@SuseMck994]

Thanks for the bandaid tip. I have just finished a quilt for my daughter's 18th birthday in mid June and whilst lint rolling it before wrapping, I found a tiny hole (Jack was too aggressive at one point). I haven't done anything about it, figuring that if she ever even sees it, she's gonna think she did it (hey, don't judge me😂), but I'm now thinking i may confess and add a bandaid after her birthday. Now, just need to keep an eye out for the perfect bandaid.

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Use some Fraycheck on it too to help it keep from getting bigger. Check out the Sarah Hearts website for some great labels.

[@michele.the.quilter6174]

Hope you had a great Birthday!

[@LambChop00S]

Happy Birthday! Good luck with the move. And wow!! Really love the quilting on showering stars. I love the quilt before and now - Wow!

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Didn't Beth do an amazing job?!

[@noninunes6627]

Happy birthday!!! Congratulations on your relocation. If you need any packing advice please let me know. I was part of a military family that moved every year for ten years.

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Yes! I need all the advice since I have never moved states before.
