Quilting #2 Flying Geese Quilt, Jan Patek, Leaders & Enders, RickRack Remix, and a 30's Baby Quilt

[@traceys1860]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have blessed me more than you know.❤️

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I'm so glad to be a blessing in your life!! Thank you for your encouragement!

Such a lovely time quilting with you. We have the same taste! I love all that you have going and your tin of treasures. I so get that. I just love all my quilting & stitching treasures, containers, bags, baskets to hold it all in and carry it all with me, civil war fabrics, Valdani, buttons, books....I consider collecting & admiring the treasures another hobby in itself. 😊

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Yup, we are alike! I was going through my fabrics last night choosing fabrics for more projects bags and just loving each piece I touched. It’s funny when I wanted to make a Christmas bag, I kept thinking, ‘I can’t use this fabric because I need to save it for a quilt.’ Sometimes it’s the collection I value more than what I use it for. Thanks for watching!

[@theknottyoaktree1017]

I love your gift of storytelling, it's so lovely to stitch with you while you share your beautiful stories. I love your quilt and your fabric selections.. I love the scrappy interest it exhibits. I'm a lover of old things as well, I think for me it's the bit of history it holds, and the wonder of it's journey through time. I use to deliver the Sunday newspaper for extra income because we too homeschool and are on a single income with 4 kids... anyway there was a vintage trunk on a customers tree belt, you bet I took it and called the customer inquiring it's history. It turns out it was trunk that was made in Italy for the journey to come to America.. WHAT!!! It even has the top insert for the under garments tray. It gives an item so much more life when there is a story to it. I think that's why it's such a wonderful idea of you to have a journal for your stitching projects to not only tell your story and remember notes if it turns into a UFO/WIP but also it will tell the story for your kids. Anyway I love see your old goodies. Personally I love to collect vintage kitchen gadgets, linens, and doilies. I especially look out for anything with tatting on it. I learned to tat several years ago but didn't progress past an entry level. Mostly due to it being a dying if not near dead art. Well enough chatting, I need to move onto your next video :) -Jenn

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Jenn, I just love hearing from you!! Oh, yes, old things have such a dear patina and uniqueness in character. I am looking around my house to find more treasures that I've forgotten about and tucked away, so I can bring them out and display them after seeing fun inspiration on Instagram and the Blackbird Designs books,. That trunk sure sounds amazing!!! Makes me want to go to antique stores, but oh....I'm just about our of room for anything new in my home. Happy stitching!!

[@doreenjupp5569]

You are valued more than you know.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Doreen Jupp What a thought to treasure and carry with me. Thank you and I tell you, as well, you are valued and appreciated more than You know!

[@nancybrindley8921]

And I love all your ends of videos....You are wonderful!!!!!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Sweet words shared by a friend!! Thank you!

[@dianneshaddock]

Love the leaders and Enders idea - usually just use scrap to do that - now there’ll be another quilt in the making ☕️🪡

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Yes! Isn’t that an amazing concept to get more sweet fabrics made into quilts!

[@maryellenmcinnis7693]

Love making leaders & Enders. Free quilt or at the very least it helps one whip up a quilt quickly. I have them sorted by size. Love the Boc-loc rulers. Love old things and now hubby & I are old! Quilts, crocks, scoops, cranberry scoops, clocks, books, barrels, dishes and the list goes on. Thanks for sharing.

[@melissatest7963]

Love your videos. Love the verse of the week also. A friend suggested I keep a small bible in the bathroom and highlight/tab favorite verses. That way anyone who uses the facilities can read it.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Yes!! The best seat in the house to get a devotional or bible reading!!

[@donnaholt7012]

You have inspired me to start to hand quilt.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Hurrah!! I just love to inspire stitchers to try something new. I'm so glad. Let me know how it works out for you, Donna!

[@stitchingwithpatsmith]

I love old things such as crocks, jars of all kinds, baskets, and old containers. My husband and I were married 45 in August and he jokes that I now like old men too. I am inspired by your quilts and can’t wait to see more.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Yeah as we get older, the older guys (our husbands) are nice to have around as well! That's funny! Glad you found me and thank you for watching and commenting!

[@theresachucle5362]

Another great video enjoyed watching and love 💕 your quilts. I love 💕 the baby quilt I enjoy cross stitch baby blankets their just so cute. Have a great afternoon and happy quilting 😊❤️🤗

[@patricedodd2068]

As always another excellent video. I love watching them, Thank you!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Patrice Dodd I appreciate the encouragement!

[@donnadoregon1008]

I am really enjoying your quilting channel and I really like your mid size hand quilting stitch I have 2 scrappy quits that need finishing, I’m going to try doing a stitch that size. Thank you for showing it. I use hand work especially cross stitch for my personal therapy too, it puts my mind into a happy place!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Donna D Oregon oh I’m so glad I could be an inspiration to try a different size of stitch. I try to use a needle thin enough to go through the fabric but with a big enough eye for the pearl cotton that I need to. Let me know how it works out!

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

Bonnie, we have such similar stories. First cross stitching then quilting then back to cross stitching. My mother was also my best friend and she did live next-door to me and passed away four years ago. I miss her so much it hurts. I was her sole caregiver and I wish I was still taking care of her. But I also know she is in heaven with Jesus and she’s able to breathe and walk and run like she couldn’t do here. And I will see her again, that’s what gets me through. But I also have many fond memories as you do with your mother to cling to.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh girl, yes we have so much in common and so much to be grateful for! My Mom is the one who shared her love of Our Savior with me and showed me unconditional love. I've had her as such a marvelous role model as I've been a parent and a friend. She just loved to laugh and loved sweet and simple pleasures. So very glad you found your way into my Sewing Room!!

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

Log Cabin Stitcher we are blessed!

I’m on this quilting video watching kick!! On to the next one! Please don’t give this series up!! I feel there is such a need for quilt KZbin! Beautifully done! 💗💗

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Cocohamas Stitchery So glad you enjoyed it! It means a lot that you watched my videos and I really appreciate the encouragement to keep going with something new in addition to the Flosstube.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Wonderful video!! Your quilting is beautiful and the colors are perfect!! Love to hear the stories too!! Handwork is therapeutic and just so enjoyable. God is good!!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Amen!!!

[@flanneljammiesfarm3158]

Hi, Bonnie!!! I suggest you call Dyeing to Stitch in Virginia Beach, a cross stitch store that is ALSO the home of R&R Reproductions linen, 757-366-8740. R&R linen is lovely! I so thank you for the shout-out and hearing that you enjoyed my channel! I love the story of your mom’s fabrics and your first project bag is so pretty. How fun to think of matching needle books for your project bags! Dandelions are a very important early Spring food source for emerging pollinators; I know you don’t like them in your garden, but maybe leave a small patch for the bees. 😊 I’m in the Scattered Seed club, too, and so enjoy it. ORT: old ratty thread or old ratty thing, basically a scrap or leftover. What a happy visit with you today!!! Thank you for sharing your faith and your tablet of verses. All is grace, and Jesus is Lord. Looking forward to your next episode! 🍂🍁🍂 Donna Rae

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Donna Rae!!! How awesome that you found me! I feel like I know you from binge watching you and your life in your little paradise! I love bees as a life-long gardener and love that my bees can enjoy a safe, organic place to gather from. You made my day! Thanks for the suggestions about calling the R & R ladies. It’s in my notebook now! And now I can get up and do my Happy Dance cause you joined me in my Sewing Room!

[@teresawhisson7982]

Thanks for another fun video. I like everything that you like! ❤️❤️

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Ahhh!! Thank you for your encouragement! It's kinda scary gearing up to push the start button on a video, but once I do, I'm all in and thinking about the sweet comments like yours I hope to get!

[@forgetmeknot5260]

Another great video!Remember you had a mom that shared the joy of needlework,not all of us had that.My dad sent me to a neighbor that taught me to knit at the age of 12,I have in my heart that memory to this day.If it wasn't for that I never would of ventured into the world of needlework.My dad also suffered from Alzheimer's and he was my rock and I am who I am today because of him.Sew i totally understand your loss.I love the same fabrics as you do and looking forward to many more videos.Thank you for sharing.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh thank you!! I'm glad you had your sweet Dad. Good memories and we bear the pain of loosing those we love. The love we gained helps ease the pain. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@rebeccamoore1268]

Beautiful flying geese quilt. Love the red and all the geese colors. My kind of quilt too.

[@stitchinginthevalley3282]

Bonnie, live your quilts and cross stitch, so beautiful!!! Be blessed, and stay well! 💜Lori

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Thank you so much! I see you have a brand new Flosstube as well. Hurrah! I'll look forward to watching it when I get to sit and stitch tonight.

[@rubiegarnetrose]

What a beautiful flying geese quilt! I’m new to quilting I’ve made only a few. I really love the colors you have chosen for your quilts I think I’d like to make one in those colors... reminds me of Little house on the prairie.♥️😉

[@Merrcraw15]

Hi, Bonnie, I think I'm all caught up on your videos. Have enjoyed them all. Thank you for sharing your heart. I feel we have a lot in common. I have the same ME tin. I also use YL essential oils everyday. I have recently had the opportunity to go to two estate sales in my area and "rescue" some old treasures - found an old church pew, rolling pins, cross-stitch and quilt saves... Hope you are able to enjoy some stitching time. Praying the fires are brought under control very soon and the weather cooperates. Take care.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh, A Kindred Spirit indeed! Stitching and YL Oiling!!!! So very, very glad you found me and have enjoyed my stories. I was having a bit of a sad day yesterday with concern for my sweet Dad so far away. Inner Child is my go-to Young Living oil blend when I'm missing my Mom and wishing I could be with my Dad. Smells divine as a side benefit.

[@Merrcraw15]

@@logcabinstitcher7274 so sorry for your sadness; as believers we have an unwavering hope. I pray you can rest in that truth.

[@kathynewhart6738]

Loved visiting with you I have already learned so much ❤ I really liked civil war and 30s fabric when choosing quilt patterns I definitely gravitate towards traditional ones

[@cindyhansen9228]

Another podcast you might check out is “pumpkin hollow quilts”. She does cross stitch and quilting.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Yes, I have seen her videos, but it reminds me to get back and watch more. It’s truly amazing how many awesome videos are out on Flosstube. Which makes me so grateful you found mine!

[@Lllr55]

Love your quilt stories! I have lots of the same fabrics that you used for the wild geese blocks! I have a few of the rulers to make them....it looked so simple when I watched the shop owner . When I tried it at home it just didn't make sense to me! I use stamps by Cindy Blackberg , cut on the outer line, sew on the inner line and I hand piece. Sadly, she retired and not making them anymore. Log Cabin quilts are my favorite! I paper piece when I can find the printed papers. So much simpler for me. I'm not a fan of rulers. Lol math makes my brain hurt! I love Young Living Essential oils too. I use the Peppermint oil when I have a coughing fit and it stops my coughing very quickly when I put some under my nose. Perfumes are a trigger for me and soy based candles kill me!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Laura Richards I’m glad you love the Flying Geese as well! Have you tried the foundation by the yard where the pattern is printed on muslin and you do the process like foundation piecing? It’s another way I do flying geese. I often search KZbin for video tutorials on projects I need to refresh on. Oh yeah, after you get the artificial fragrances out of your home, it messes your sinuses up when you go somewhere and experience them. I’m so glad you’re using the REAL essential oils Young Living provides. Have you tried our Eucalyptus Blue? I have an empty bottle in my sewing room and I smell it when the fibers are in the air and bothering me. Smells just like the Eucalyptus tree in my backyard.

[@Lllr55]

@@logcabinstitcher7274 I have tried the muslin foundation with a pattern printed on it. I made a New York Beauty wall hanging. I'm still trying to finish hand quilting!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Laura Richards I want to try a New York Beauty also, so I bought a book with paper pieced patterns. Figured it would help a lot!

[@Lllr55]

@@logcabinstitcher7274 it will for sure!!😊❤

[@nancyseefeldt8378]

Love your needlebook! Many stitchers make small zipper bag for threads scissors ect. To put in your project bag. Just a thought as you said you are thinking of making something to go with them. Your quilts are wonderful!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I like the idea of a small zipper bag. I ordered several sizes of zippers this morning, so I can give that a try as well. Thanks!!

[@nancybrindley8921]

The ric-rac quilt is amazing!!!!!! where to get pattern?

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Nancy Brindley Glad you like it! Actually it was just a layout I saw on Pinterest when I searched Half Square Triangle Quilts. Half Square triangles are so versatile and there are many different layouts to choose from. The dark fabrics and the limited color choices led me to this layout rather than another one I had planned on.

[@littlesissie1]

What size is your quilt behind you? Love it

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

The Quilt is 67 inches wide by 84 inches long. Remember you can make a quilt like it in whatever size you might want to by adjusting the number of flying geese blocks.

[@clarec6659]

What size needles do you use when quilting. You have inspired me to pull out some of my projects plus use leaders enders. Happy stitching

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh, That's great!! I'm so glad you got inspired! I like the embroidery needles and I use the smallest one that I can fit the pearl cotton through. I like Valdani size 12 pearl cotton. I get the variety pack of embroidery needles size 5/10 and use the ones in the middle. I haven't quilted since I started cross stitching, so I'll have to do some quilting this week and maybe update this reply!
