Quilting Window Episode 26 - Lollipop

[@cindyathome]

I have pulled out my Lollipop quilt that is 75% done. I can't wait to finish it. Thank you for reminder tips!

[@francesnesbitt8825]

Thank you for demonstrating the applique by hand. You are so delightful to watch and listen to when teaching your methods.

[@09mclemens]

I so enjoy your tutorials and how your quilts are often inspired by your Sitar family traditions. This is a lovely quilt - so pretty with the batik fabrics. Wonderful technique on how you form the circle for the centers with the freezer paper. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration. Most of my handwork is with wool applique. I need to make a point of having it out when I'm watching TV, especially when we're watching repeats of some of our favorite movies - Marvel Superheroes (Avengers, Iron Man), sports movies (Rudy, Remember the Titans) or space-themed movies (The Martian, The Right Stuff, Hidden Figures), etc.

[@maureenhebert7673]

You are absolutely delightful and charming. I love how you pull out the basket. I’m so glad I found you

[@dawnschaefer2891]

Love your quilts and your teaching. You make everything easy. Thank you!

[@trudyanderson7088]

I did my first Dresden quilt with my granddaughter it's been at the quilters since July due to covid she is behind, I cannot wait to get it back.

[@joyscranfield5527]

Think I have enough scraps to make at least one block...maybe turn it into a pillow. Thank you, your work is truly beautiful.

[@sherylp.9570]

I love everything you do, Edyta!! I can hardly wait for my orders to arrive .. the Olive Branch fat quarter bundle and the Pinehurst Fabric Kit in green! My favorite movie has got to be "Gone With the Wind". 💕

[@traceybell4511]

I've got an applique block upstairs that I have had about a year which is waiting to be stitched. I'm too nervous to do it by machine because I don't want to mess it up. You have inspired me to do it by hand. I'm going to get it right now! Thank you. I love Pretty Woman by the way. At the moment I am watching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies - great fun! Love your videos and patterns. You are so charming and funny. Best wishes x

[@leticia-rl7yj]

Dresden plate is my very favorite and next to the log cabin. Thank you for sharing I love the colors💕

[@jeandigiorgio2619]

I have this block I made in your class some years ago, at Paducah. It was the most fun ever! You're the best

[@KH-ko1kh]

Your quilt design is as charming as you-thank you for the learning opportunity and inspiration!

[@anitahaecker8113]

I have several favorite movies ranging from POLLYANNA to IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE to BANDITS. Thank you for another handwork project that begs for a movie night!!!🌻❤🦋

[@cuash55]

Why in the world did anyone leave a 👎🏻????? The video is wonderful and explanative as per usual, and the block is creative and well- planned in color selection. Edyta, thank you for keeping us busy during quarantine!❤️❤️❤️

[@laundrybasketquilts]

Thank you for your kindness Ashley!

[@Coalgirl100]

I must make this. I usually sew everything on the machine but with nice weather and lots of time I will be hand sewing down this Dresden plate. Thank you for a great project.

[@juliannaburgess9177]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your fabric lines. BEAUTIFUL! What else is exciting, your store is not far from where my aunt lives. TWO FABULOUS reasons to travel....hoping it's soon. Remain safe and well. THANK YOU for your videos.

[@ellensweat5251]

I have not made a dresden plate and this looks amazing. I may have to give this a go. I think I will hand stitch the applique. Thank you Edyta!

[@perrykim5]

Loving all that beautiful color! This looked like such a fun pattern, I went to your link below and purchased a kit!! ❤️💜♥️I’m so excited! Really looks fun!!!

[@addieperry6520]

Beautiful, love all your patterns.

[@judymills873]

Love it and I love the quilt behind you too.

[@katywuste9054]

How beautiful, you have a real eye for colour and your design is stunning

[@connielindholdt9043]

Fabulous color selection!

[@anitabalgenorth2889]

I love to do hand stitching while watching movies on TV. Right now we are watching Downtown Abbey episodes. Our favorite movie is You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

[@Coalgirl100]

I like to watch you’ve got mail when I do hand work. Except taste in movies,

[@levanaspencer9599]

Somewhere in time. Thank you 😊 Always enjoying everything you do.

[@kathleenking9777]

Great episode! Feeling encouraged enough to try this... beautiful. Thank you Edita.

[@stephiepeterson]

So pretty!

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou - anytime!! I have Kaffe scraps and batiks to make the little Dresdens. :)

[@lynlitalien1077]

Love this pattern! Can you please give ideas on quilting this pattern. What thread I should use and should I do an all over edge to edge or carefully go around and echo.

[@MightyKern]

Edyta, I love your videos, your personality and style of talking. it is very soothing and encouraging. I hope to buy and make some of your patterns one day. I am in Canada, and during COVID-19, I just don't want to wait for shipping. ha ha. so... soon I will place an order :-). I would love to see more videos showing your applique techniques. if we buy one of your aplique quilt patterns, does it come with all the shapes or do we still need to order silhouettes too? I would love to see the techniques for applying all those twirling stems and vines and all the pretty flowers and leaves. I very much want to make one of your applique quilt patterns. Thanks!

[@levanaspencer9599]

By the way I love Dresden plates and it is my signature labels . Love it and love your fabrics.

[@beckydevries-wong4885]

Thank you, such good instructions. I just recently found you. I'm so glad I did

[@luciamenezescastagin9608]

Encantador seu trabalho amo muito parabéns e coloque sempre novidades

[@traciowens2778]

So pretty! Slow & steady from Handful of scraps. I would love to do it, but its intimidating!

[@katywuste9054]

Snap

[@tinacecil9739]

I just love your tutorials...do you have anything on a cathedral window? Pretty please.....I just need someone to show me!

[@carolbanks8313]

Did you use the same background fabric for each flower plate?

[@sheilacraft5027]

Love Dresden's! I don't do many of them but, they're sew fun. Sounds corny but, one of my favorite movies is Paint Your Wagon - always makes me laugh.

[@teresefife3177]

Not corny at all! We love that movie! Glad to see how many still enjoy some of the oldies, too. This was a wonderful video on Dresdens. Have to try one.

[@katherinem7835]

Edita. Your quilts are so beautiful. I love the first one you made ❤.

[@marcellarodriguez7955]

That appliqué quilt behind you us gorgeous! Do you have a pattern or video for it?

[@kellyjossis]

do you take the paper out before you sew the circle down?

[@debbiestallard694]

My favorite movie is IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

[@claudettemonty4077]

Where did you buy your small plastic template??

[@18jusba]

G'day Edyta, thank you for this amazing tutorial. I'm a tiny bit confused by one thing. Do you really leave the freezer paper in when you sew on the yellow centre piece? I'm so looking forward to trying this one. Thank you again, kind regards, Karen

[@wordwalkermomma4]

You would take it out from the back side after stitching the circle but before stitching down the Dresden flower.

[@duskbloom]

Edyta sews down the Dresden plate before sewing on the yellow centre. I’m guessing she presses the centre, and then removes the paper before sewing it on? I’m not sure

[@cuash55]

You could and slit the back and remove paper if you wanted but could also remove beforehand....personal preference

[@jeffsbug198]

This is so beautiful! I am new, would i leave the freezer paper in the center or remove it? Thank you!

[@janesublett5272]

Remove the freezer paper AFTER you applique' the center circle. You can glue baste the center fabric around the freezer paper with the same stick Edyta used on the blades.

[@debbiedonnelly7761]

AT THE RATE WE ARE gOInG WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH BLOCKS FOR TWO QUILTS OR MORE . CAN GIVE QUILTS FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS AT RATE

[@gruedademuz]

Beautiful

[@patriciahomer5342]

So you left the freezer paper in the center?

[@viviennehughes4343]

This is my question too.

[@cuash55]

Remove it through a slit in back or before sewing down doesn’t matter

[@debracupples1441]

Thank you!

[@heathermartin8656]

I tried this and I have trouble with my Dresden plate laying flat. Any suggestions? Thank-you for another beautiful block!

[@angelabrosnan9392]

Check seam allowance. If you line up opposite tips of petals , all should be even

[@cuash55]

Starch the fabric before you cut, sew, and press your pieces. Make sure you’re sewing at a perfect quarter inch and that should make them lie dead flat. Alsoooooo, you can use a tailors clapper and wool pressing mat for absolutely flat flatttttt blocks. I stitched one together with some starched scraps today, and it was super flat. I’m using the template piece in sweet mint since I don’t have the acrylic lollipop template (trimming the top flat) but should work with any similar template I’d think :)

[@Kate98755]

I can’t sew with a movie on because I want to watch, documentaries or music...or KZbin videos
