Your world piece is absolutely beautiful!!🥰

[@cherylmalinowski7011]

Cleaned the cutting table. Yea

[@roseanderson4928]

You should use your crumb blocks as the back for your original quilt from those fabrics. Karen from Just Get It Done Quilts does this regularly. She calls it her afterquilt and they are fun!

[@pjinlaca5489]

I’m so laughing at the number of us who said our sewing studio is the cleanest room in the house. I mop and dust all the time because it just makes me crazy when it isn’t clean. I’m going to buy the desk set right now. I need another gridded notebook for quilt design and the other things are adorable! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@suekadrmas4298]

I try to pick up every 3 projects....try

[@sharoncasavant7650]

Clean the table? Soon as I get everything off lol!

[@jennifermaddock4382]

My quilter friend Betty has a sign that says "A clean sewing room is a sign of a broken sewing machine"! I generally agree, although I have spent a couple of days working on finding the floor of my sewing room and putting things I don't have to have immediate access to in the basement. I did vacuum the rug for the first time in many moons. It does feel better to me.

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

OMG...I had to crack up laughing when you said..."famous last words". I take on so much that I overwhelm myself with too much too do and then it seems like I get nothing accomplished! Used your link to order the Desk Set. I've been going to order it but thought I'd use your link...great way to support our fellow crafters/quilters!!!

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Love your border on the world peace quilts

[@helenannejudisch7880]

Well, that was easy because I cleaned it off yesterday. A friend called and asked for help layering a quilt, so cleared the table. It's still empty because so have a couple projects to layer also.

[@bellaannecgoff2335]

❤️❤️❤️

[@gaylemitchel4200]

I just did this yesterday! Had more fabric than bins, so rearanged all my fabrics in their bin to make room then still had to go buy 2 more bins! Refolded on my folding on my cutting tablebut had to clean it off and dust it first...yup, it was groady.

[@PatSloan]

Wonderful!

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

❤❤❤

[@shawncrafty]

Love your world peace!!

[@tblack4719]

I made vinyl project bags using orphan blocks - they’re so cute.

[@sharonclass4133]

I just love your videos, Pat. I look forward to every one. Thank you

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Hi Pat I love the backing it’s going to be gorgeous little !✂️🧵❣️💕

[@nancytyler314]

Love the way your Florida quilt turned out!

[@nnickerson7636]

Hi Pat. I think I will do the bonus pattern in wool or felt for a table topper 🙂 . Thank you for all of the information on quilt tops yesterday. Hope you have a blessed day. 🙂

[@tenawolfe6863]

Your blocks remind me of Gee’s Bends Quilts.

[@PatSloan]

i love this style block, I found out about them prior to Gees bend, .. their quilts are amazing too

[@donnaferguson5588]

How about using the crumb blocks in center of the hope quilt back, then use your choice of backing around it to highlight them as "back art"?

[@stephaniesmith2575]

I bought a little rechargeable dirt devil years ago. It is a wonderful addition to my sewing room because it is hand held. I run it over my cutting area, around my sewing area surface, pick up any threads that have fallen to the floor.

[@marydrisgula9829]

I’ve been wanting and dreading cleaning off my work table - thanks for the boost 😎

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Make your crumb blocks into a large block and incorporate it into your backing.

[@jillvalko675]

I think your crumb blocks would be great on the back of your Hope quilt. Then they will be done! My sewing room is ready for a good cleaning. Thanks for the reminder. :-)

[@lyndapatrick8303]

I vacuum whole house 2-3 times a week & dust it once a week- cause I dislike dusting...., sewing room sometimes gets extra vacuuming as I tend to create a lot of random thread 🧵 bits . Like your idea of narrowing up the solid sections in the jolly bar quilt 👍

[@dianaedgington8009]

Way to go!

[@marciedecker2660]

Love the notebook, etc.

[@donnapelfrey6954]

Good morning from salem ind going rain here to day sewing day

[@katiecunningham6717]

Hi from Jeffersonville Indiana!

[@kellyr3161]

I love your notebook kit! Where did you find that at?

[@kellyr3161]

I found it🙂

[@joycekwetherbee6030]

i did clear it off 2 days ago and it has bolts back on there again today trying to pick which colors I am going to use for a female baby quilt.

[@paigec-j]

I love your shirt! Where did you get it?

[@PatSloan]

thank you! I think i ordered it from Chicos last year

[@tinatippin5705]

How did you know?! Today is cutting day for my Hope Quilt, and before I start a new quilt, I clean my cutting area. It usually means cleaning up after the last sewing project. The Office Bundle has my name all over it. It's a great day in the neighborhood! Thanks, Pat.

[@gingerlawson9612]

My sewing room is on my schedule to do when I clean the basement every other week like dust and vacuum. I clean up after every sew time I do, like put away material, put my material that I cut in a box ready to sew the next time, because I cut my whole project out at one time. Clean off my sew machine and put a cover over it, wind bobbins if need to keep ahead etc. so when time comes to sew I do not spend time putting away things I can set down to sew. This took me many year to incorporate this, instead of willy-nilly sew and clean up a month later. With your reminder I do a little more each time that I see to do, because sewing is the only thing to do during C-19 for me now, and it a another room to keep clean and organized like the house.

[@recreationclerk3135]

Beautiful blouse that you are wearing today. I love the fabric. Did you make it?

[@margaretdooley-duncan6562]

I just have to say that I love the top you are wearing.

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

I vacuum my area at least once a week 🙄. But, when I am going to actually begin quilting I will vacuum again because I don't want stuff all over the quilt. I did major cleaning of all my different areas the other day cause I couldn't get my machine to sew right

[@lynnehrmantraut9167]

Just ordered the desk set - too cute to pass up!

[@susanvoth5831]

Well, I just had to go straight to the Fat Quarter Shop and buy that desk set by Lori Holt! You are right Pat... it is so cute❣️ Plus, the notebook has grid paper and I’m a pencil and paper planner of quilts and quilt blocks. Thank for sharing.

[@lorriemcdonnell7027]

Love your crumb blocks, Pat. The Lori Holt stationery set is sew cute! I love mine.

[@lucillecastonguay246]

Thanks for this great video. I gave up on my crumb quilt. Don't want to have too much going. My break off point for daily sewing is March 31. Will continue some thereafter, however, it will be time to concentrate on spring cleaning (1st room will be sewing room) and gardening. Have a great day.

[@brendastonesifer6609]

What kind of batting do you use for your mug rugs to prevent moisture from going through?

[@junehanson7865]

That is a good idea my room is a disaster

[@ingridtinsley4141]

Hi Pat, I was thinking that maybe you can make a book mark with the one row of the cross stitch 😀

[@conniemiks3962]

Where did you get the sewing kit with the book?

[@marlahanks7278]

I finished 12 more crumb blocks Tuesday! Think I have 23 or 24 now. I had several small pieced blocks (that I didn't make-guess I got at a retreat or something) that I've been hanging onto for quite awhile thinking "I'll do SOMETHING with them". Decided now is the time! Used them as starters & just kept adding around them. Saw a pic the other day that someone used them as the base of house blocks!! So that's what I plan on doing :) I'm so excited.

[@PatSloan]

that is great!

[@mindytaylor523]

My focus ran amuck yesterday so I pulled out strings and scraps and did some random sort of crumb log cabin blocks. Maybe that’s called improv? Not sure but they turned out cute. Nice to have something easy to sew when I can’t focus good.

[@lynnehrmantraut9167]

Your crumb blocks are amazing - they’d be great on the back of the quilt!

[@nancyandersen615]

For once I am ahead of the game...lol!! Did that the other day so I could be productive again. Don't know about you but when my room gets too messy I just walk in, turn around and walk out. Slowly reorganizing but work area is definitely clean again.

[@katiecunningham6717]

I ordered book 3 yesterday

[@amylynn1345]

Sooooo.......do you clean your own bathrooms? 😂 I don’t hubby does the cleaning! We split the chores when we became empty nesters! He does the cleaning and I do the shopping, cooking, and laundry! ❤️ works really well for us! Love how your world piece quilt turned out! 🐰🥕

[@PatSloan]

silly girl

[@rachelburgener819]

Sooooo.......I don’t think she is going to answer that question!!?!!😳🤔😝🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️😀

[@JulsErazo]

Maybe... maybe... you give us the homework of doing some crumb blocks, so when you have the time, you will tell us: ok ladies! Its time to do a quilt from the crumbs blocks you did! I kind of love the idea of doing stars with them! Thanks Pat!

[@PatSloan]

you can assign yourself that!

[@rosemarypowell6635]

I have a very small room.(8’x11’) to creat in and it’s multi functional as I love to create ,so my goal is ti tidy up at the end of each day so when I go back in it fresh and ready to make something beautiful ☺️

[@suefarely2731]

Hi Pat, is there a new fabric line in the works? I'm ready for one. :)

[@imogenethomas1138]

For once, I’m ahead of the game! I cleaned my work surface yesterday!

[@pattyward8898]

So am I cheap buying JoAnns 80/20 batting? There’s always coupons, or batting is on sale.

[@janejarvis6725]

The cleanest part of my house is my sewing room. Lol. I’m always vacuuming and cleanup at least after every project. When I teach it has to look even better.

[@jenniferbonynge5899]

Your suggestion today is SO timely! I spent hours yesterday cleaning my sewing studio, actually getting rid of a few items. Now all is dusted and the floor has even been mopped. ;0)

[@gaylebenigar7883]

Since I removed the carpet in my sewing room & installed a laminate floor, I am astounded at the amount of dust generated by my sewing! So I now dust at least twice a week!

[@coleenrobinson7851]

Hey Pat! Your so inspiring. I was tidying up my sewing area yesterday and I came across a fabric that I would like to send to you, but I can't find your address. I see other posts that people have sent. Can you sent me the information? I love to see your posts every morning.

[@ritaholverson5260]

S

[@chicletlux]

My sewing room cutting table is so messy I’ve moved my mat to the kitchen, lol.

[@vickyadams3007]

Why don't you put them on the back of your Hope Blocks Quilt?

[@miriammoore7981]

Leaving for work now but when I get home. That’s what I’ll do as my machine is being serviced and I can’t sew!

[@stephaniesmith2575]

It takes about five minutes, cuts down on dust. I do it every time I see and it cuts down on dust, threads don’t wrap around my vacuum brushes and I fell like I have completed the sewing day.

[@janmishler6524]

I can't clean my areas in one day! Maybe a week, if I hurry. 😂😀

[@PatSloan]

your cutting surface is just one spot, hopefully that won't take a week, but if it does than you really need to do it..haha!

[@trudyanderson7088]

Where did you get your office set?.

[@Linda-nw7xp]

Hi Pat where did you get the adorable office bundle I live in Canada and would like to order one. Thank you in advance.

[@trudyanderson7088]

Hi Linda Cowburn, I searched the office set and they sell them thru fat quarter shop it is a Lori Holt product.

[@janemcnaughton4201]

It's my birthday...... I'm not cleaning today!

[@katiecunningham6717]

But I don’t want to spend my sewing time cleaning 😂 it is much more productive when you have a clear and clean work area. I was thinking last night I needed to straighten things up
