[@Pam-eu1rb]

My favorite is s.a.b.l.e. stash accumulated beyond life expectancy 😂

[@debramcfarland9975]

I think I have one of those.!!!

[@SewtheDistance]

😆 I can relate!

[@karin0963]

Funny! I never heard that.

[@GG.098]

What a fun time to play along with your son and he wanted to be there!

[@SewtheDistance]

YES! It was his idea to make the video. We made a few videos while he was here. It was so much fun!

[@debkay1954]

Oh my, he looks just like you! This was so fun. ❤️❤️❤️

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@ccreel64]

How sweet of your son to play along. 🤗

[@SewtheDistance]

He's the best! It was his idea. I wasn't sure about it but I am glad we made the video now. So much fun!

[@lindalosier5989]

A couple had me stumped too!! Mom's and their sons are the best!!! Thanks for sharing him with us!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Awww! So true! I am blessed with two sons. They are both great. It was our pleasure! Thank you so much for watching.

[@rosierust4991]

Your son is a good sport! Enjoyed this! Some of these,I didn't even know!!! Okay most!!!🤣

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much 😁 It was his idea, believe it or not. I am glad we made the video. I told him I wasn't sure about it. I was wrong. This was fun!

[@franceb3170]

This was fun to watch. Kuddos to Mitchell for agreeing to do this and staying engaged the whole time!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks so much! It was actually his idea. I kind of drug my feet with it but am now glad I did it.

[@charlenegeorge2536]

Your son is very handsome, glad he could come and visit!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! We had a great time. He is coming back in August. Can't wait!

[@robinaruzza2128]

I have 3 grown sons and enjoy having them look at my quilting projects when they are visiting. My 2 year old grandson loves sewing on my machine….he thinks he needs to put on my red reading glasses when he sews. I live in South Burlington Vermont if your son needs something and/or have a spare bed in my sewing room if you need a place if you visit him.

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh wow! Thank you so much! We rented an AirBnB in Shelborne the last time we were up to visit. I will keep that in mind! Mitch went to college at Champlain and stayed up after graduation. I am sure we will end up moving there at some point, too. Love Burly!

[@lindaeselunas1639]

How fun to have your son with you. He's so sweet!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! We had a great time!

[@desleybartlett322]

Great to see your son participate with you. He looks very much like you.

[@SewtheDistance]

😊 Thank you! I will miss him when he goes back to Vermont.

[@janicec1196]

Here's another one...F.A.R.T. Fabric acquisition road trip. That was fun!

[@SewtheDistance]

OH! Love that one! 😆 I will have to remember that for next time. Thank you!

[@lauraruthruff4741]

How fun!! Your son was a great sport doing this with his mom!! ❤️

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks so much! It was his idea. I was the one dragging my feet. LOL! I am glad I did it now. We actually recorded a few videos. Stay tuned!

[@konniebrockway3178]

It's such a fun post! Your son is such a good sport, and the two of you have a great dynamic!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! We have fun together! Glad it shows on camera.

[@paulinebuttigieg6165]

How old are you to have a son that old? You don't look that old. God bless you and your family. Thanks for the video.

[@SewtheDistance]

My pleasure! Glad you like this video. Thank you so much! I am 52 and he is 28. 🥰

[@barbarajohnson1572]

Very good sport of a son... he really gave this a good try! Son's are the BEST!

[@SewtheDistance]

They really are! All his idea. Thanks so much for watching!

[@sharonbrignac4810]

That was cute with your son . Thanks to you both for sharing.

[@SewtheDistance]

😊 Thank you. It was our pleasure. ❤️

[@kimberlykring2475]

Love that you did this with your son!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun!

[@marybeth4002]

How cute - enjoy your time together while he is home visiting :)

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! It was great to have him home for a bit.

[@kathleenstorer691]

Love this! WOMBAT stumped me lol! So cool that Mitch played along!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! It was completely his idea. We have a few others, too. 😂

[@marionbarber984]

I think I got 20% correct! Wombat? Qal? Fmq? Say what? So that's how they measure a fat quarter! What fun! Thank you Kris and Mitchell. Marion in Oregon.

[@SewtheDistance]

So happy it is helpful! We had a lot of fun making this. Thanks so much, Marion!

[@deborahlunsford6983]

I love to see moms and their sons. So sweet!!! I have two myself.

[@SewtheDistance]

Sons are great! Love my boys!

[@iveywelshans2767]

Awwww- my mitch! Best video evahhhhh.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you, Ivey! We need to get together soon!

[@sewbeitquilts]

I’m with your son on the UFO and QAL!

[@SewtheDistance]

I hadn't thought about it before! So true. 😆

[@DH-qz2so]

Oh, cutie pie son! what a good sport! How fun!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! So happy you loved it!

[@angelavorhees5946]

Lots of fun. First-time viewer. Reading the comments gave me and my husband a few good laughs. Knew all but 3. It's cool that your son was game to play along.

[@SewtheDistance]

Welcome aboard! So happy you love this! We made a video last year. Mitchell is great at picking colors and we made a video where he picked the fabrics for a quilt. So much fun! Great memories in the making.

[@ramonakipking5623]

😂Mom! He isn’t a quilter so he won’t know! But he is a Great Sport to play along!

[@SewtheDistance]

😆 It was completely his idea! I promise! Thanks so much for the laugh and for watching!

[@peggersf9709]

👋👋. I knew all but 🐸, and I love frogs ❤❤. I’m going to start saying frog instead of a date with Jack.😂😂

[@SewtheDistance]

Love it! Frogging sounds so much better than ripping. 😆🐸😆

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Nice that your son played along!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks! This was completely his idea! We have another one made, but I am not sure if I will post it or not. His microphone wasn't on in the next one we made. I am going to try to fix the audio. We will see!

[@debramcfarland9975]

I thought you were going to introduce him as your husband. What??? Can't believe it!!!

[@SewtheDistance]

I am so flattered! 😆 And he is my youngest! Thank you for this! It made my day. ❤️

[@nancylaventure1403]

How fun!! Have fun with your son!!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! Miss him already, but he is coming back in August. Can't wait!

[@peggycarper4040]

Great young man to do quilt game with Mom You did good !!

[@SewtheDistance]

Awww, thank you! It is all him!

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

My son played along. He did pretty good. That was fun

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! Love that he played along, too! Thanks so much for watching and sharing!

[@delwyngraham4033]

Nice having fun together 😊should have asked what a layer cake and jelly roll charm square etc😂

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks so much! Great ideas! I think he would know those just because of gift-giving. He always buys me precuts for holidays and my birthday, but he might not know some of the other ones. I was kind of surprised that he didn't know a fat quarter at the end of the video. Thanks so much for watching and for the great idea!

[@terrigunning5745]

Cute. My husband could get some.

[@SewtheDistance]

Love it! Thanks so much for watching and playing along!

[@brendalockard1677]

It’s fun to see if they know the names of the precuts that I show them. Jelly Roll, Layer Cakes, Charm packs, mini-charms, etc!

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh, that's a great idea! He would probably do well with this since he always gets me precuts as gifts for Christmas, my birthday, Mother's Day, etc. but I may be able to stump him with a few! Thank you!

[@lilyfoss2924]

Oh my goodness that was so much fun.. I think you should have your son on there every week lol really enjoyed that it was fun

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks so much! He probably would be on all the time if he lived closer, but he lives in Vermont and we live in Pennsylvania. He is coming back for a visit in August. Can't wait!

[@IOSARBX]

Sew the Distance, I subscribed because your videos are super cool!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you!!!

[@mydanshi9683]

That was fun. I didn’t get the pattern ones ‘cos I don’t follow patterns. I also have PHDs, Projects Half Done.

[@SewtheDistance]

Love that, too! That's a great one!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

He looks just like you. There were a couple I didn't know.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 🥰

[@pamlacey136]

Such a fun video! So nice that your son agreed to play along!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! We had a great time! It was his idea. I wasn't on board at first, but I am glad I did it now.

[@saraharrell1768]

Shows how much our family knows what we are doing. My 3 daughters would not know anything.

[@SewtheDistance]

True! My other son wouldn't know a thing. Mitch is my artist, so he really enjoys this stuff. Thank you so much for watching!

[@dawnmarkiewicz1916]

Good conversation 👌 👏. I didn't know them either

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! Glad it is helpful!

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

Asking a quilter the number of UFOs they have could be construed as impolite! Fun interview!

[@SewtheDistance]

LOL! YESSSS! It is like asking your weight! 😆

[@amydykxhoorn8844]

What a good sport!

[@SewtheDistance]

He's a great guy! It was his idea. I was kind of against it, but he talked me into it and I am so glad he did. We had a blast! We recorded a few more, but I am not sure if I will be publishing them or not. We will see!

[@lisaroper421]

He looks just like you! ❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Do you think so? He REALLY looks like my husband, but hey, I'll take it!

[@user-oq2bg9pj6n]

🤣🤣 I think Mitchell you and I learnt something today. Some of those, well most of them really, I had never heard of. Last I knew a wombat was a marsupial running around out in our outback. Who knew!!!! Great video Kris.

[@SewtheDistance]

😆 Thank you so much! I will forever called them Whomp Whomp Bats from now on. 😆

[@user-oq2bg9pj6n]

@@SewtheDistance 🤣🤣

[@sewterie]

I can't. That was adorable. Hi to your son.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 😀 He says hi too!

[@hze1234]

I concur. WIP is not a quilting term. We use it in projects (work in progress)

[@SewtheDistance]

I had no idea!

[@dianehuntley2493]

Great sport Mitchell😊 nice video😊

[@SewtheDistance]

[@fransak2723]

“Work of Fame” LOL! “Remember something today” Your son is a riot! I’d never heard of WOMBAT.

[@SewtheDistance]

Right? I love the way his mind works! Thank you so much for watching us! It was fun to make this video.

[@allisonmccullough6082]

How fun!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! We had a great time!

[@robinaruzza2128]

It is beautiful here in Vermont, you would love it!

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh, I do love it there. We get up a few times a year. Mitch has lived there for almost ten years now. It is beautiful there!

[@karin0963]

I enjoyed this and meeting your son. I love when people include men in their videos. It's funny to see how they try to figure out what we do.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! It was a fun time! 🥰

[@MillsSkits]

Too fun! 😆

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! We had a great time, too! ❤️

[@SharonRStudio]

This was cute!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! ❤️

[@maryh4554]

I began quilting again this past year and have watched many quilting videos. I did not know what most of those acronyms meant. I learn something new most days.😊

[@SewtheDistance]

Wonderful! I am glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching and sharing! Welcome back to quilting. ❤️

[@sandyheller5438]

The best video ever. Your Son is adorable 💕

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much!!

[@Sewwithdebee]

That was great

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! So happy you liked it!

[@tracymason7483]

Very interesting

[@SewtheDistance]

Glad you think so! Thank you for watching!

[@knittingnana2939]

Never hear of the wombat, but, alas, i have a few.

[@angelavorhees5946]

I hadn't heard of it either, and yes, I have a few, lol.

[@SewtheDistance]

Me, too! More than I care to admit. 😆

[@jennrea4275]

You forgot about HST- half square triangle.

[@SewtheDistance]

I had 30 written down. I missed a bunch. ❤️

[@jilbertb]

I changed to UAP's, like the government did. Unidentified Abandoned Projects

[@SewtheDistance]

😆 I love it!

[@JeanMcDoniel]

Thanks for showering how fat quarters are cut...I'm making a quilt that calls for 12 of them and now I can cut them out of my yardage.

[@SewtheDistance]

YAY! Happy to help!

[@francespiquemal8813]

SABLE (Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy)

[@SewtheDistance]

Ohhhh! LOVE this one, too! I think I have a SABLE! 😆

[@SaraMc-ez2mv]

You should have asked about hst’s and phds too!

[@SewtheDistance]

I should have! I had 30 on my list and tried to pick ones that he may know. I will have to use those next time for sure! Thank you!

[@bonniewoodfine136]

Great little game ....you certainly don't look like you have kids older than teens .

[@SewtheDistance]

Awww, thank you! My oldest is in his 30s! Time flies!

[@sarahshaw1937]

I call them UFP's - UnFinished Projects

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh, that's a great term, too! Thank you for sharing!

[@beckymartin203]

I had never heard of WOMBAT

[@SewtheDistance]

It will forever be Whomp Whomp Bat now. 😆 Thanks so much for watching!

[@teraramage6210]

I didn’t know what RST was!

[@SewtheDistance]

So glad it is helpful! This is used a lot in patterns.

[@jennaforesti]

QAG

[@SewtheDistance]

That’s a good one! I had a list of 30 of them but the video would have been so long. 😂 Thanks so much for watching!

[@debcobb9739]

I've been sewing and quilting for more than 60+ years and most of these I have never heard...I like to just say what it is instead of all the supposedly shortcuts.

[@SewtheDistance]

It was just for fun. ❤️

[@clararutz9817]

I agree, I've been sewing/quilting for 57 years and I also never heard of most of these!
