Hello Sherri. Thank you for the small project ideas. As I live in a very hot climate (all year round), making large quilts is not an option. We would not use them very often. I am going to make a list of the project I want to sew and then start. I time myself, 30 minutes at a time as I am 77 and stiffen up if I sit too long. We don't get your fabric here and our Rand/Dollar rate is off the roof. So I still enjoy looking and getting ideas from your collections. The few quilt shops we have here as more traditional about choosing fabrics. Take care and blessings to your family.

[@gretchenalberts3017]

I absolutely love this idea

[@carolg.6838]

Thank you for the small project ideas and tips.

[@kandaykerr3653]

Thanks for the "quick" projects. Going to make a few for myself for Mother's Day.

[@vickichandler5872]

Great ideas! Thanks for the links to the different projects. Just ordered the mini spools pattern and will certainly be ordering and/or checking out some of the other nifty quick projects. Thanks again. Be safe, stay healthy.

[@marybradley168]

Hi Sherri, I love all of your quick projects, they are just beautiful. Some look easy enough for a beginner. (like me). Thank you for sharing.

[@MsDjvinson]

That measurement for Jolly Bars is 5” by 10” , I just love them

[@lilscrapper67]

was about to say the same lol

[@sandijames6409]

Was going to mention that too

[@C12133]

I don’t know how I missed this video but it is great!!! You just kept coming back with more adorable smaller projects. I think everyone needs a small project every once in awhile. I like to feel like I can actually finish something, especially when I’m working on blocks of the months. 🤣 Thank you Sherri, you are appreciated!!😍

[@Lealelan]

Thx love all your quick project ideas. I love doing these and feeling like I've got something to show! I've been wanting to do a few little bowls so I'm excited to follow the pattern you posted!

[@mendyelliott9495]

Thank you for all the ideas! I’ve been working on big quilts also. Love the shelving idea! Brilliant!

[@jojorey6886]

I like your happy music in the intro, it makes me happy along with all the happy colors in your quilts. Word of the day: Happy;-)

[@monicakostak9841]

Thanks--i always wondered what the best length was to quilt and i will need to try the 3.5. Also having a quilter quilt a yard size sandwich for a variety of projects is a GREAT idea i never thought of. Cute quick projects too-i've added to my notebook.

[@glennahackney7292]

Love this video and all the ideas you shared! Great idea to do something small after finishing a larger project.

[@suestutzle2779]

Thanks for this interesting video. If I get bogged down by a big project and need to "get away" from it for a while, I'll do a small job. Just yesterday I was sick of the mess on our coffee table with all the remotes, pen, note book etc so I made a rectangular basket to store it all in. Hey presto, coffee table looking good and no more mess. Necessity really is the mother of invention and aren't us sewers lucky to be able to make things for around our home to increase it's function or beauty. It's so rewarding.

[@maryviti6799]

SEW pleased to have “stumbled” into your channel? video’s? (I’m a senior citizen & not sure of much of the “tech” vocabulary). The smaller projects are just what I need to make & FINISH! Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. A new fan, M🍀

[@chrislittebrant5235]

I really like this, there are at least 4 that I will make. Thank you

[@ruthannmolyneaux478]

[@Truthlover4U]

Very nice 🙂. I just subscribed. Nina from Virginia, USA.

[@jeannesnodgrass8073]

Great video! Thanks 💕

[@fritzsparky]

Thank you for the ideas. I like the X pillow and maybe I can figure out how to design an O to go on the other side for an ❌⭕️ pillow.

[@lindafederer2437]

Great ideas, thanks so much

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

[@dianecfromny3912]

Hi, Love all these projects!! Would you please list the project on here also for the mini charm thread catcher?...would love use my mini charms to make that one too! Thank you!! :)

[@JoniTickledPink]

I think the jolly bar is 5 x 10 not 10x20 like you said am I wrong?

[@iolandamoreira9230]

Seus trabalhos, são lindos Parabéns. Tem alguns vídeos em português? Felicidade! um abraço

[@susancole5210]

I’m going to look for the books.

[@donnagood1087]

The drawer liners would work for refrigerator shelves also.

[@celiagtorres]

Do you have a tutorial for the little basket that shows a wider bottom and smaller top, its just by your patchwork little basket. I'll love to make one.

[@susancole5210]

What do you stuff the pin cushions with?

[@Coffeedrinker291]

What is crosshatch quilting?

[@truesy7175]

Great ideas. I just stumbled on to this video. I will work on some of these with my daughter who is learning how to sew. The link to the project bag didn't work. Would you please check and see if you can determine what the problem is? Thanks so much

[@szelop]

Lol! Maybe you invented a new size precut fabric 10” x 20” for larger blocks! Maybe call them Big Jollies 😁!

[@suecollins7343]

Hi there Love your projects, but I can’t seem to find the links, please help. Thank you

[@lesa6399]

I didn’t hear what the foot is called?

[@lindielee8944]

WHAT IS SOFT AND STABLE.

[@sandijames6409]

Its foam, a little heavier than headliner. Its made by byAnnie. It is not fusible. Pellon makes a similar weight product called flex foam which is fusible.

[@KJNAmelia]

The link to the mini charm thread-catcher tutorial went to a page not found error. I think it's because the URL has .html/ at the end. It should be www.thesewingchick.com/2014/05/tutorial-quilt-as-you-go-thread-catcher/ (without the .html/) I recently made one of these, with mini charms, from this tutorial - fabricmutt.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-pixie-cup-tutorial.html

[@AQuiltingLife]

Thank you for catching that! I got the link fixed in the description now. Thank You!

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

How are you Kathy?
