Quilting Projects and Kits

[@elysemoore9565]

Hi Kea! Love your videos but your quilting tutorials are my favorite. You are such an amazing teacher and I’ve learned so much from those sewing videos! Gide yourself some grace though- you are a busy lady!! Hopefully more sewing videos will follow, but if not, your community is always here! 💕💕

[@barbaracollins-miller3411]

I loved this video....I really miss your Quilting videos....I use to love to watch you make quilts...it helped me cause I'm new at it...ty for sharing

[@suzetteamos6257]

Quilting Again!!! Finallllyyy🎉🎉🎉 so happyyyy, I’m an OG on your channel so I’ve been here for the wholeee journey. It’s time!! Thanks for the pattern parade!

[@KeaBee]

Thank you so much for staying around Suzette!

[@suejameson1517]

Its really great to see you back with quilts. Please do more videos like this. I’m surprised you’ve obviously had a big problem with Fat Quarter Shop. They have such great customer service and reputation. Loved the Shimmer quilt pattern.

Dear Kea: Please stop being so hard on yourself. I'm in the 12th minute of your video and you just said, again, something like, "There is no excuse. I don't know why I don't have this done." Kea, I haven't been enjoying your videos for very long (a couple months a most), but it seems you have children you love (and don't tell me they aren't work - we raised six), you home school, adore your dear husband, are involved in community (on line and in the real world), you sew commissions, are a great hostess and friend. Good grief! I'd say you were a miracle worker who loves to share her joy. So please get a hug from your hubby, kids, close friends, and know that some things do take precedence to finishing every thing you start. You will finish these beautiful things one at a time. Some just take longer - kinda like kids. Thank you for all you do. PS: Loved your quilt parade! Anytime shared with you in your studio is rich with inspiration and nice-ness. Again, thanks!

[@KeaBee]

You are so incredibly sweet, thank you for the encouragement!

You are living at the speed of light right now with your family, homeschooling, and all that entails. You will get to the quilts and all the cross stitch, so for now, feel free to share any or all projects waiting in the wings with us. I love seeing them all. I kit up cross stitch projects and quilt projects as if I lived alone and had a housekeeper and a cook…..which I don’t. I have a husband that likes to eat my cooking and a home that needs dusting and cleaning, and grown children navigating life, who need our help from time to time, and of course grandchildren that need looking after from time to time. Life just does not go by my rules or wishes, so I’m happy to keep kitting up projects and working on them as time permits. Keep sharing and I’ll keep watching. Blessings and take care.

[@KeaBee]

You are so kind, thank you so much!

[@gardengoosestitcher]

I'm not sure where my sew- jo has gone, but watching this make me want to go pet my fabric and work on something.

[@lynnxstitchescreates]

I enjoyed seeing all of you quilt projects 😊

[@KeaBee]

You are sweet, Lynn! Thank you!

[@jo-annevanzyl4139]

Love you Kea… ❤you’ve got this!

[@mistesmeltzer853]

Love your videos. I hope you will be able to find time for quilting and am looking forward to seeing your progress. I enjoyed looking at your WIPs. Take Care 🙋‍♀️ Happy Stitching

[@KeaBee]

Thank you so much!

[@mathgeek7966]

You have some great quilt WIPs! 🙂Fun to see them - you inspire me to start some new projects. Cute tree skirt with fun Christmas fabric, and I usually say Poin-set-tia. I have about a dozen in progress quilt tops, but two dozen waiting to be quilted. You can do it!

[@KeaBee]

Wonderful!

[@samanthageorge2742]

I just loved this video. I enjoyed seeing all your kitted projects and your unfinished ones. I am a firm believer that it's ok to have things in multiple stages or so close to being finished, and we don't understand why we haven't yet. You'll get there, give yourself some grace! I'm excited to see your quilty bug come back and can't wait to see what wonderful things you sew. 💗

[@KeaBee]

Thank you so much!

[@cathyhodge2799]

Great video! I hope you continue these quilting videos💜

[@KeaBee]

That's the plan!

[@lesliegray2949]

Love the content you share, here’s to getting your quilting mojo back!

[@KeaBee]

Yay! Thank you!

[@bethdeck9825]

Oh I hope you quilt again!! That is where I first found you and I still miss your tutorials, I like cross-stitch but love quilting!!

[@KeaBee]

Thank you so much!

[@debbielutz3732]

Great video I love your quilting videos. Keep up the good work.

[@KeaBee]

Thank you so much!

[@susierosefinlay]

Hi Kea, I really needed this. I cross stitch and quilt also. (And I do other things like make lace, dye yarn, sew clothing....) I'm in the process of moving/reorganizing my workroom. Soooo, I can relate with buying or putting together "kits" for quilts and cross stitch and never get them done. I work as a cashier at one of the busiest delis in Las Vegas. By the time I get home I'm drained and can't get anything done. I will buy fabric for a couple of quilts and forget which quilt the fabric goes to. I now buy fabric for only one quilt at a time. In the evenings I'm working on spreadsheets for my cross stitch patterns and kits....and where they are. And I've started one for quilts.

[@KeaBee]

Thank you for watching!

[@kimmitchell7049]

Would love to see the quilt tops that need to be quilted. I also have so many quilt projects started and kitted and ready to go but I have little time or energy right now. Love all the quilt videos. You are inspiring me to go through all my projects and pick one to start. Thank You for the video!

[@hobbiesofholly]

And…your friend Holly is making another hexie quilt this very day! It’s so fun to make!

[@hobbiesofholly]

I shall continue commenting whilst I watch! I, too, think I’m a monogamous quilter…then remember I’m not!

[@hobbiesofholly]

I made Holly Jolly and LOVE IT!

[@KeaBee]

That is awesome!

[@Craftywithwords]

I would love to see more videos like this. I primarily cross stitch and knit and do some sewing which has left many of my quilt projects in bags, boxes, and plastic containers, abandoned at whatever stage they were in when I put them away. This has inspired me to go through these bags, boxes and plastic storage containers to reignite my quilty bug. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@KeaBee]

So glad to hear!!!

[@Joyv5410]

I just went through my craft area and set up my sewing again. I hear you about unfinished projects. This is the year. Enjoyed the talk.

[@KeaBee]

Thank you! You too!

[@lisaanderson6602]

Thank you so much for sharing❣️🥰 You've inspired me to organize and get my quilting included in my rotations, thank you so much❣️🥰 For you and your family please stay healthy, safe and happy always❣️🥰 Happy quilting and stitching❣️🥰

[@KeaBee]

Thank you, Lisa!

[@angiesc9169]

I love, love, love that Riley Blake Sweet and Simple! I am collecting fabric to do that quilt now. Look at it in a different light. Life gets in the way. When you do have the quilts done you can remember that you loved the fabric etc. plus you like so many of us just can’t resist a beautiful kit. When you do get time it will get done. Don’t stress! Quilting is relaxing. 😂😂😂

[@KeaBee]

Great idea!!

[@Craftmom159]

Loved this.

[@sadiejosiemom]

I'm glad you made this video. I originally started watching you when you were quilting. I stopped watching when you stopped quilting. I recently started watching again when you were in the other studio. Anyway - I hope looking at all your stuff will be the impetus for you to get back into it. I do lots of crafts too and it can be overwhelming at times and I've gone through seasons when I focus on just one craft.

[@KeaBee]

That is awesome!

[@amandabauer1814]

I love this one! I want the t shirt too! Never heard that say before but I love it

[@deliad8826]

I loved this video and glad to see that sparkle in you eyes as you chatted about your projects. I found you through quilting and love all your content. Thank you for your candor. We can all relate and support you

[@KeaBee]

Oh thank you!

[@annroberson8890]

I’ve always let my quilting go by the wayside and have tons I want to make. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@gerryfix1009]

What great quilt projects to look forward to!! 🌲🌲⭐️❤️❤️

[@KeaBee]

Thanks so much!

[@allisonglover5057]

I have missed your quilting videos! Welcome your quilting mojo back I know it’s on the way! 🎉

[@KeaBee]

Yay! Thank you!

[@crishertel]

Absolutely loved this video. Thanks for feeding my quilts bug 😉❤️

[@KeaBee]

You are so welcome!

[@CandaceK]

I really need to use my crafting time for something other than cross stitch so I can get some of my quilt wips done! I have probably 5 quilts actually cut and in some stage of pieced. I know I have 2 that just need binding...

[@KeaBee]

Sometimes I just need a little motivation to get things done!

[@jankubillus7157]

I enjoyed seeing all your quilt projects. Do you know the fabric line name with those darling little girls? They are adorable.

[@candrasowder8236]

Honey, you are fine! My WIPs and kits list of the trifecta of quilts, cross stitch, and knitting/crochet is ridiculous... Enjoy what you do. We'll happily enjoy it with you. HAPPY MARCH!

[@KeaBee]

Oh thank you!

[@auntmoa1015]

I enjoyed the ufo parade. I even went to Jedi girl and printed the Five Fat Quarter pattern. As far as the ones you don’t want to talk about I had just started watching you tube before that happened and don’t remember want happened. But if it was what had turned you off quilting I suggest you pass those items on unless you absolutely love them so your not reminded. I thought you just was busy with cross-stitch and wasn’t taking time for quilting right now. We all go through different seasons with our crafting. I have ufos in cross-stitch, crochet, quilting, hand embroidery and machine a well a other crafts 😁. Hope you catch the bug again.

[@KeaBee]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@pennyhuffman2570]

I hope you find your passion for quilting reignited. There are only so many hours in a day and you are a busy mom. Now that I am a new grandmother I love to create something that I know will be loved by grandkids. I have learned to stash in complete projects because often when I get to sew a project all the fabrics are gone from the shops. Now I just plan a quilt from pattern to backing when some fabric inspires me and I know WHEN I get to it, it is all there! When did tech guy stop filming with you? ❤️ your videos.

[@KeaBee]

Thank you Penny!

[@judyraterink3484]

Norm and Nanette was so cute. You have so many cute patterns.

[@KeaBee]

Thank you!

[@melissaj8384]

This was Super Fun! I quilt like you do - LOL. Monogamous in my mind but not in reality. It's so hard to find time to do ALL of the things we want to do. I get it. Had a great time! PLEASE post if you work on a quilt - it hopefully will also get me to find my quiltybug too. THANKS Kea!

[@KeaBee]

Thank you for watching!

[@grmanat]

Fun video! I am doing the QAL with Elizabeth and I’ve been trimming the HSTs which is taking forever! Love that tree skirt!

[@KeaBee]

You can do it!

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thank you for sharing.

[@KeaBee]

My pleasure!

[@stacierisen8870]

Such a fun video! Your commentary on this was absolutely adorable♡ I actually chuckled out loud. You'll get to them. Try to show yourself some grace. You're absolutely correct about how we choose to respond is on us. You got this! Big hugs!

[@KeaBee]

Thank you so much!!

[@sheliaburton541]

So loved your video. What is the name of your favorite quilt store?

[@denisehenry3540]

Kea where is the quilt store in Indiana that you were talking about? I definitely would like to go check it out. Thank you!

[@KeaBee]

It is called Cardinal Quilts in Vevay, Indiana

[@AllisonNorris13]

I keep missing the name of your favorite quilt shop with the $5/yard fabric .... 1.5 hrs away?.. what was the name?... TIA 😊

[@JanetJabber]

Oh my gosh I loved this video. I am in no way on your level. I am just beginning my love of quilting, basically for the grandbaby. Anyway I am starting with 3 yard quilts from Fabric Cafe. I would love to learn more abt what patterns to use pre cuts. 🌻🌻🌻

[@KeaBee]

Wonderful! Quilting for others is such a beautiful thing!

[@shellymeldrum2312]

Hi Kea, I loved this quilting video so much. I've begin learning to quilt. Do you have advice on cutting? Cutting my shapes seems to be difficult. I'm sure it will get easier. Have a great week.

[@KeaBee]

My advice is to measure, measure, and measure again. Then cut slowly!

[@shellymeldrum2312]

@@KeaBee thank you!

[@AvivaHadas]

pause hit the brakes, when you showed the two rows for sweet & simple, I was "oh that's nice" "I remember that fabric" keep going, when you showed the apple, "Oh I like that little 'shiny spot'" but when you showed the flower, I stopped everything and happily found the pattern on Riley Blake's website.

[@KeaBee]

Love that!

[@AvivaHadas]

@@KeaBee In the intervening 2 weeks, I completely forgot about that flower. (too many UFOs.)

[@junehanson7865]

Awesome video was fun

[@KeaBee]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@michellegregerson4918]

Love your video! I had lost my drive to quilt at one time and had a number of WIPS stacked up. I got my drive back and now I’m down to 2. I now like to cross stitch,but love to quilt again.

[@rcstitches6243]

I have so many quilty tops that need to be quilted. Cross stitch has pulled me away from my sewing.

[@sherryclifton4947]

I loved seeing your Quilty stash. However, it did not make me feel any better about the kits/WIPS I have in MY stash. I could warm my county if I’d just get busy. Be kind to yourself, you are a fiber artist. ❤❤. I made a quilted wall hanging with my Kona panel. No light gets to it and it’s easy to lay my fabric up to it. FYI, Poinsetta. 🫣

[@KeaBee]

Thank you for the encouragement!
