OH NO, What did I do??????????? And Be My Neighbor block #3

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Hello! I will forgive you any day! I hope this little note finds you in good spirits and healthy. I have a busy day in my sewing room and now I'm sewing a little tea mat for my living room end table while I watch you. I hope you have a wonderful evening! Sending hugs! Thanks for posting this video!

[@patriciabryant6574]

Oh so funny today. I laughed and laughed. Yes, just unpick 4” or so up both those seams. We all have big stuff ups from time to time. 😂

[@robinrodgers8390]

Pat, you are soooo corney, in a really good way!😜🤓

[@lindadevito2223]

That’s what I like about you, you are a normal human. We all have made mistakes. I usually have to read a pattern many times for it to sink in.

[@denisepineda1788]

Boy have I had many dates with Jack or Kermit…rip it, rip it!! Thanks for sharing even your mistakes. We all make them. I love the Sloan Zone!

[@quiltingcarole6411]

Girlfriend, we’ve all done the same thing. Don’t feel bad about it. We love you no matter what.

[@deedhc1647]

I like it when Vloggers own up to mistakes because it is so human. It says not to take yourself too seriously. It makes me like you even more.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Woops. Mistakes happen. Thank goodness for my friend Jack.

[@ignb9431]

I saw these videos out of order so I'm glad I came back to this one and saw about the the pattern mistake. And LOL, Jack is a great name! This is my first time hearing it and it is truly perfect!

[@dottykupsky4831]

Thanks for keeping it real, Pat! Can't tell you how often Jack and I get together!

[@phyllisdippert2216]

I am going to make a sign for my sewing space that says " become one with your seam ripper" !

[@loridavison6672]

How fun.

[@GiGi-si9mo]

I am working on that relationship lol.

[@sabrinabuoniconti5008]

Love the color of the pinwheels you have up there. Happy ripping!

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

I appreciate the Quilt News and AR CLIPS.

[@jylromain6439]

Last week as I was pinning a quilt I realized that even though the entire quilt was snowball blocks, there was one block I didn't snowball. Just popped it right in, whole. I felt so foolish. So it's very much appreciated that you share your mistakes. It helps us to feel better about the ones we make. I'm sorry you have to hang with Jack for a while but thank you for sharing.

[@annabraun5995]

Pat, I loved that dark blue fabric too. I think it would have been neat with your cross stitch piece.

[@karenolson2532]

Yes I liked the dark blue too

[@brendaoberle2001]

Thank you Cathy.....l was saying the same thing!! You don't need to rip out the full length!! Happy Stitching Pat! lol

[@sharonoconnor7769]

Love the teal you picked.

[@cindyc7868]

I saw the mistake but thought you were going to teach us something new. LOL I hope Jack is nice and sharp to make your work fast.

[@lynettejohnson3464]

I posted this problem yesterday on the Facebook page. Whew! Was I glad I caught myself before I sewed them all together!

[@bevl3988]

😆 looked at the pattern yesterday and made note to follow pattern to a T. You are human and a very busy person. Love watching you😘 Have a blessed day

[@crhp13tblock52]

I even like it the "wrong" way, with the diamond center!

[@nancywhitten2585]

Glad I’m not alone with goofing on a pattern. 🙌💪🏽

[@debbielombardi5864]

I loved the navy print that was your favorite. I thought it looked perfect with the little bird!

[@karendvirnak5269]

I feel so much better about my goofs when I see others have done the same!

[@victoriastewart2152]

I couldn’t figure out how you were going to do the pinwheels. Thanks for the correction. We live and learn 😉

[@elisecouch1602]

We’ve all done that kind of stuff. Especially late at night. I sewed an entire huge batch of blocks with no thread in my bobbin. And twice last night sewing strip sets I had the wrong sides So I had some time with Jack the Ripper. It’s nice to know you are human too because you produce such amazing things all the time

[@EllenLOlson]

It Happens Pat. Love that you always own it, when something goes wrong. It doesn't matter how many times this has happened over the years, it happens, just need to remember to read the pattern over when you start sewing, especially if you are interrupted or take a break, never hurts to just review where your at ( Jack & I are really great friends and have been for years ...lol). I just did the same thing when in a hurry and didn't check. A lot of ripping happened, so I will be good for awhile again. Enjoy your day and thanks for all your cheerful videos.

[@Tbirdcarr1]

Glass of wine, new movie and rip away, but seriously- thank you for sharing your oops, we don’t enjoy seeing others make mistakes at all, but a reminder we are all human and it’s ok when we do it

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Pat, thanks for sharing your challenges with sewing. You are definitely one of us! I've added this jelly roll pattern and Will You Be My Neighbor to my bucket list. SEW many fun projects ahead!!

[@debbiebraatz1919]

I love the darker fabric no one else likes!

[@EllenLOlson]

Loved the cross stitch on the Teal with the X's .... really makes the bird stand out.

[@lorrainesutherland9226]

I was putting my fabric together for Jelly Roll Sizzle last night. I noticed that the pattern was putting strips together in pairs. I had just watched your video where you were sorting for the blocks. I thought you were going to show us a cool pinwheel short cut. I was trying to wrap my head around how that would work an decided I had better stick to the pairs. The alternative block that would result would really make a cool pattern if you don’t want the sizzle. 🙂

[@TTKnits]

I super loved your super love fabric! It’s gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your oopsie, helps us pay attention! Thank you Pat! 🥰

[@SewingBecca]

I’m so glad you told us about this. Once you said we could do the blocks and didn’t have to have the pinwheel fabric until later I was hyped. Went through my jelly rolls and was getting prepared to start. I could delay the decision for the pinwheels. I may or may not have caught it as I read the pattern. Suspect I would have thought “but Pat Sloan said I could do it this way” rather than following the pattern.

[@kaylongworth3867]

You are my all time favorite quilting teacher and mentor!! I won't miss a day and if I do, I catch up when I get home from various short travels! I am stitching along with you on Secret Lives of Color and am going to try to catch up on Will You Be My Neighbor. I've just downloaded the first 3 blocks and am going back to watch those videos. I'm so thankful you share such great patterns and bits and pieces of your life with Mr. Greg! You brighten my day everyday!!

[@nancyandersen615]

I loved that fabric, too....lol

[@myjane54]

I liked the fabric you chose for your April cross stitch. I liked the fabric you really liked too but thought it might have been vying for attention with the X-stitch.

[@debbieburchell1573]

Your mistake was exactly why I was waiting to start the sizzle. lol I thought you had found a quicker/easier way to do the block and I was waiting to find out your trick. lol

[@merrypopins8594]

Me too! I wondering if she was going to applique them or give us some new technique.

[@PatSloan]

Nope!

[@dcunning123]

Love love love the new quilt news section in today’s video.

[@ritamerrill3902]

You do not have to rip the complete seam. You only need to rip enough of the seam to stitch the half square triangle on.

[@maureenmullarkey7150]

“Nobel Piece Prize”!

[@giselaa6111]

Thanks for sharing your misstake we all do them : ) and the first video everry day that I watch is yours PAT thank you so much for teaching us all : ) /Gisela in Sweden

[@kathleenthorene5846]

Thank you for all your tips. I have learned so much.

[@monicahigbie2589]

Love your dailies. I feel like you are sitting across my kitchen table and talking about our challenges in quilting.

[@donnakimball3822]

I love how honest you are. I have a permanent date eith Jack.lol I love all the info on the quilts

[@lisafuller2027]

You crack me up...a date with Jack! At least its a small rip and only 1 seam to sew on each.

[@darlenewener6520]

You can top stitch your pinwheels making them raw edge applique.

[@PatSloan]

that is an option but I think It will be faster to rip out half of the seam

[@pamelaarbour3368]

I was wondering how you were going to get those pinwheels in there. I thought you might have some new technique! LOL

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

Sounds very much like myself jack and I have a thing going on LOL love ya girl😍❤⭐⭐

[@lindamedlin9453]

Oops! I like the triangles. You are such a busy lady, it's too bad you have to spend time with Jack. Make a pillow to demonstrate string beans. Just a thought. Thanks for all you do. 😄

[@teresadavison1896]

Love the navy blue with small flowers, for your cross stitch

[@marthademarco3211]

love the cross stitch with dark/floral fabric

[@jeannie82024]

Oh nooo, Im glad you’re going to show us how to do it because I’m looking forward to the tutorial. I’m not good at following a pattern.

[@zerozero9085]

Waiting for house to sell, all sewing/quilting packed and sent away in a POD. Bored! So, influenced by you, just bought the Flea Market cross stitch!

[@sharonwight8497]

I saw that but said nothing thought you were making a design change🙃😉🥰

[@minniegonzalez591]

I loved the navy with flowers!

[@sarijenkins1792]

Pat I loved what you picked for the cross stitch but my second favorite was the one you loved. That fabric is beautiful 😍

[@donnacolegrove4113]

Thanks Pat. I would have given up! You preserved and found the right solution for fixing your blocks. Can’t wait to see it all done!

[@marygeorge9688]

Thank you! I’m enjoying your Quilt News segment.

[@viviannolen36]

As you were showing the crossstitch the one you picked is what I would have picked really a great choice

[@gloriamarrs3273]

Don’t beat yourself up. I was doing needlepoint and couldn’t sleep one night. Got up and was working on project. Only to get up in morning to find out I had done all of last nights work on back. I had a lot of unstitching to do. LOL. So enjoy you show. ✝️🧵❤️

[@maryjacobs7046]

Yay, you picked my fave for your x-stitch border! I, too, love the dark print, but not for the border.😊

[@sharoncasavant7650]

It was so nice to watch your video! It's been 2 wks! We moved to VA and I can't sew yet, everything is in boxes, the place needs lots of cosmetic work.

[@festuswilliams9428]

Hi Sharonz

[@celesteac]

OMG!! I made two of these quilt tops a few weeks ago to donate and have the first on my longarm right now... and it's only after I JUST SAW THIS VIDEO. that I realized I snowballed the corners in the wrong direction om ALL my strips. I have diamonds in my background pattern, not pinwheels!! Waaay too late fore to seem rip so going to have to own it now as a "new pattern variation" 🤣😳 and now thanks to you I will have to make this pattern again, the correct way.

[@ruthgooch8575]

I am sorry for your mistake. But thank goodness you addressed it. I didn't start yesterday because I wasn't understanding the corners at a later date. I'm still somewhat of a newbie and in a confused state of mind. Pretty normal for me though. So sorry you have to spend so much time with Jack.

[@crhp13tblock52]

I wonder what it would look like with a variety of pinwheel colors?

[@ajc2268]

My favorite fabric for the April cross stitch was the one you liked the most. I would most definitely have used it. It was more springy. The aqua seemed to make it wintery looking, in my opinion.

[@debbielovell8695]

I just love this video, so many interesting quilt facts. Pat you are inspiring, love having my coffee with you every morning 🥰

[@marilynanderson4109]

You are a joy to watch everyday! I don't know where you get all your energy! Have a wonderful day!

[@sherriejackson5405]

You need to move the squares around. When you do the blocks you put the square in the same block then twist the blocks to make the pinwheel. Since the blocks are already together move the square to make the pinwheel. You'll still just need to rip part of it away. Where did you get the stand for the cross stitch? Love your daily shows!

[@leehart9099]

I absolutely LOVED the same fabric that you did for the April cross stitch! I would’ve picked that one if it were my quilt block. The one you ultimately went with is “nice” and “safe” but the other one “POPPED”. There may be others beside you and I that felt the same way 😊

[@PatSloan]

Oh thank you!

[@nancie4727]

Rather than unstitch the center of the flower on Fleamarket Fabrics, simply over-stitch the rim in a darker shade. This will add dimension (like a real flower) and save you a lot of time.

[@lynnehrmantraut9167]

So today I am going to celebrate being behind on jelly roll sizzle - so no date with Jack for me!🤣🤣🤣

[@robinfarley1361]

I love the pinwheel in teal, it really does a lot for the other fabrics! As for the pinwheels I would Just pull out stitches far enough to put the pinwheel piece down. Less work that way!

[@judisewnsew6514]

Oh! Pat! I (we) love you 😍 ❤️ 😘

[@patandrews6963]

No big deal. Only have to rip out a few stitches, place the square, stitch, and it’ll be perfect. : )

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Pat! I noticed that, too & like some of the others, thought there was a trick coming 🤣 But I did also figure out you would just have to rip a little farther than the stitch & flip needed to go! I'm anxious to see what you end up picking for the pinwheels. I do like this teal but also liked the yellow & gray.

[@trishbishop3923]

Oh no, I do see that you can only rip out a partial seam vs the whole thing! Then add your square and sew the seam back. Some pre planning needed because it depends whether the blocks need two triangles or just one. Hmmm. Happy date with Jack?!?

[@raisdbywolvz]

I was looking at your blocks yesterday and I was so confused as to how you were going to get those pinwheels in. I'm sorry you have to have a date with Jack, but I'm very happy to know I'm not crazy. 😉

[@s.oldfield5982]

Glad you caught it-I made the same mistake! Thankfully, I only had to unsew parts of 3 blocks to fix it, not 14. Ugh, I feel for you. However, 3D pinwheels sound like a fun addition…

[@pegfairchild4525]

Hi Pat. Could you use a piece of the dark blue later for one of the secret lives of color block

[@patl869]

I watched the video out of order too and couldn't figure out what was going on. I have the pattern and I didn't remember any partial seams. LOL. Lots of us have gotten in the groove and just kept sewing and then had to have a session with Jack.

[@junehanson7865]

Thanks sharing you have a good day

[@mariabean8627]

Oh what about making prairie point 3D pinwheels ? That would be cute 💖

[@tammraneese3930]

I saw your mistake yesterday and thought of saying something, but then I thought maybe you had a way I was unaware of and I couldn’t wait to see it! I am sorry you have to do some unpicking!

[@pamelahill7164]

So you don’t have to unpick them all. You just need to un pick one strip on the end only so far back enough to add the square to make the pinwheel

[@fgeorge3]

I agree! That’s what I was going to suggest.

[@tinahansen2442]

Pat, I noticed on the block that you said you could not make it work, that you have incorrect sides pinned into place, that is why it is making a box.

[@dianalonghenry4933]

Bird X-stitch: aqua with white dots allows the bird’s body to be seen easily.

Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@meredithmiller4848]

When you make a pillow with the navy fabric, you might also consider using it in one of the 'Will You Be My Neighbor' blocks so you can display them together.

[@PatSloan]

I'll see if it works! Would be my neighbor fabric is all Christmas fabric so it may not work for that

Hi Dyane.

[@nancysharon931]

Love your daily videos. I am amazed at how much you get done each day. Could you explain again how you sorted the patterns and colors for the jelly sizzle blocks. Thank you.

[@PatSloan]

I did a whole video on sorting the colors, go back to last Friday

[@sharoncasavant7650]

Just use the pin wheel as an applique!!

[@miriamcavani9263]

Maybe this has already been suggested, to minimize ripping out all the strips, just rip out away the last two from the other 4. Keep the two attached.

[@cathinuferrous2336]

We all skim the directions sometimes especially if we think we already know what to do… who invented the seam ripper? Whenever I teach a beginner class I always introduce Jack and say this is your best friend and for success don’t be afraid to use it 😊

[@shirleyhagan9002]

I was also thinking you don't have to rip it all out. Just the top where the pinwheel goes...Good to know you mess up sometimes too! love watching you!

[@festuswilliams9428]

Hi Shirley.

[@lindakQOV]

Have you thought about making 3-D pinwheels on your blocks? You could add those as you sew the 4 blocks together.

[@PatSloan]

no I don't want 3D, it is easy to undo the seams

[@NanaStitcher55]

As I am watching you this morning reveal your oops with Sizzle i am cutting 4” squares. A few of which are 4”x2”. 🙄. Oops. Blessings to you.

[@jackschade9320]

Pat you may want to just take a darker color of your center flower cross-stitch and outline it with one strand. It really makes a difference that may keep you from taking the time to RIP
