After 2 virtual sew dates today and sitting in my sewing room all day, I get to grab my hand quilting and watch you! Thanks for sharing your skills and time.

[@brendafrye5875]

Your nieces are so fortunate to have someone like you. For me there is nothing more special than giving to family. All your quilts are gorgeous.

[@cherylmarch9293]

Lots of lucky family members getting wonderful, beautiful quilts!! I bet they are excited!! And Happy Birthday wishes to your brother! Also thank you Pat, for making these videos for all of us! It takes a lot of time to make them and share with us while making your quilts and all things you do in your world. ❤️❤️

[@tinatippin5705]

Your nieces and their family are going to have such cuddle fun with these quilts, Pat. The ones for the little boys are so much fun. Sock monkeys, haha. I still have mine with the little dress my mom made for her. She wears a yellow dress. Sweet memory.

[@sandrajohnson4218]

Love your blue elephant scarf. Blue, blue, everything blue for me. 😄

[@quiltcavequilter6952]

What an AWESOME way to share your QUILTY love with your nieces and their families…I gifted my nephew a quilt way back in 2012 when he was a senior in high school and recently found out that he never leaves home without that quilt. He’s 28 now and temporarily working in Montana (we live in Arkansas) and his mom, my sister, said he took it with him and that in all his travels, even in college, he always took that quilt with him. Now that’s what us quilters love to hear. Quilty Blessings are the best. ☺️🥰😍

[@sandyd829]

Tiffanee it is always wonderful when someone loves the gifted quilt as much as you did making it. You are blessed to have experienced such a joy.

[@theresameynardie2158]

Thank you Pat. I wake up every morning and can’t wait to watch your video. You make my mornings bright. I love to hear you laugh. You have a great laugh. I always learn so much and have a good time doing so. Keep up the good work. Have a great day.

[@dianajones9082]

Scrappy quilt looks amazing. Purple really sets the quilt off.

[@lance3665]

I look forward to seeing you each morning. Love your videos.

[@mollysmith6055]

Your family is going to be so happy with their quilts, they are beautiful! Thank you for continuing to show your Quilts From The Vault.

[@karenkijinski6271]

[@janmunson7328]

Lots of beautiful quilts - lots of happy memories being shared with your family 💖💝

[@KathleenQuilter]

Love the quilts you are gifting! I'm definitely coming back to this video when I select the fabric for the flapjacks! Thank you, Pat!!

[@pamelahill7164]

Your nieces are so blessed to have an aunt like you. I hope they appreciate it. I made my sister a quilt for Christmas this last year and she said oh thank you and didn’t even unfold it to look at it. I was so upset I worked on it all year long and put so much hard work and love into it.

[@kathykaplan497]

I know how you feel...these days I never give quilts away to family members....they end up losing them somehow? So annoying.

[@leeannroberts9019]

Beautiful quilts!! Will be enjoyed! Thank you for the quilt show!!

[@gwynwellliver4489]

A box of quilts will be like Christmas!

[@cecilybailey5720]

Love this...the scrappy quilt treatment as well as the words to live by!!

[@heidiyazwa6985]

Pat. Your nieces are soo lucky 🍀 to have you as an aunt. Love all your picks for their quilts. They should be in love with them! Oh and happy birthday Tom!

[@denisepineda1788]

That is great that you are sending those quilts to your nieces. I’m fairly new so I am still trying to make bed quilts for each of my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Once I am done with those 16, I’ll think about outlying family members. Thanks a bunch!

[@shirleymcintyre4732]

Love all the family quilts! Little boys are going to be so excited. You are so generous ❤️

[@craftyak2]

It’s a beautiful way to show your family your love and kindness! You are a great example Pat of sharing what is in your heart. Thank you for the information on the quilt hanging behind you too. Have a wonderful day!

[@robing476]

Beautiful quilts that I know your family will enjoy. I especially love the quilts you picked for the boys. Love the ⛵️ and sock monkeys.❤

[@annakoelewyn3501]

Thank you for the segment on pulling fabric. It was extremely helpful. I never thought about using different scales in my fabric choices. Wow, what an eye opener. Thank you!

[@sarahguidry9802]

I always buy an extra yard when buying wide backing fabric. It's great for sashings and borders. No seaming.

[@janinekoucheki5780]

Beautiful quilts. WOW! I love all of them. Beautiful fabric, beautiful quilts.

[@gayleschaefer6300]

Beautiful trunk show! My act of kindness today was sending my 95 1/2 year old father a CD of Puccini's Greatest Arias. He was thrilled to get it today.

[@emarie7591]

Pat my friend these are amazing. The quilts. Amazing.

[@marygeorge9688]

Your quilts that you are sending to your family are gorgeous. They will be so thrilled. Happy birthday to your brother! Thank you for your time and for sharing this video with us.

[@belyndamulloy33]

Happy Birthday Tom! Love the purple and all of your quilts. Thank you for all you teach! I really enjoy watching😁

[@diane3363]

Thank You so very much for sharing your passion for quilting.

[@krisgessner493]

You are so amazing! What beautiful quilts. I love how they have different personalities. Your family will be so happy to get these. You will have done many acts of kindness. Thanks for the tips.

[@leannsegner6777]

Good morning!

[@GiGi-si9mo]

I love the crumb block quilt. Great job.

[@jacquemeillier6638]

Fun seeing all the quilts you are sending out.

[@lyndapatrick8303]

Loved the show & tell!! Driving 2 people who don't drive to a luncheon, so one act of kindness down will see if I can find others

[@PatSloan]

that is wonderful!

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

Happy Birthday Tom 🎂🎉🍾

[@taksorci4531]

Happy Birthday to your brother! My youngest grandson shares his birthday!

[@junimondin]

Hi Pat, i love your KZbin tutorials and i realy like your laughing. It always makes me laugh too. Deat greetings from Bavaria Allgäu 🌼 and have a good time

[@debranightengale4352]

I also wish I was your niece. Hugs beautiful quilts!!!

[@maureenabramson4224]

Always so fun to watch and learn. I heard of gamboge from an art teacher I had about 15 years ago. She had a gardening article from England that mentioned the color gamboge and found their use of it interesting. I then had to go buy some watercolor paint of this color. Your crumb blocks look amazing. I love this idea. And I love your blocks of Words to live by. The one block reminds me of the quote from the Irish writer, Oscar Wilde of "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken" Lol! I love my Irish heritage. I'm really wanting to join in on the Flapjack quilt. You have some very lucky nieces and other family members. ❤ Habe a blessed day.

[@cindymcfarland4686]

I can't imagine the cost of postage to send those boxes! Your family will love them!

[@sharonbrewer7711]

I 💘 your scrap quilt!

[@judyl3492]

Thanks for the great video again. Much appreciated

[@sheilafruge60]

The sock monkeys♥️♥️♥️

[@stephaniesmith2575]

Enjoy your quilts from the vault.

[@rebeccasewing]

Wow, Pat, I'm really impressed with the quilt on the wall. I had no idea all those scraps would produce such an awesome quilt!

[@PatSloan]

sew up some!

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Pat! What fun to see your quilt gifties!!! Since I've been doing alot of these sew alongs with you, Gudrun & Fat Quarter Shop since '20-I have alot of throw size quilts made. I decided last year to send my Jelly Roll Ripples to one of my last 2 surviving Aunts 💗💗 One of her 2 daughters videoed her opening the box for me. They were all thrilled & surprized to get the quilt. Your nieces, spouses & grand-nephews will be so very happy to receive these quilts!

[@PatSloan]

awww.. that is so sweet!

[@jillvalko675]

Cross stitch tip: you can use an outline stitch with one thread in a color with more contrast. Even a medium gray.

[@marthademarco3211]

Love the words to live by, looks great!

[@carolmcqueen3497]

What lucky family to receive such thoughtful and lovely quilts.

[@joannebreeding2815]

Happy Birthday Tom. Today is my daughter Sara's birthday. Celebrate!!

[@dawnbarry2985]

Loved quilts from the vault. I recently purchased your book using novelty prints. I want to use several of the patterns in the book. I love novelty prints.

[@teresadavison1896]

It’s fun to see your quilts, remembering when you made some of them, and to hear who you are gifting them to.

[@jylromain6439]

Happy Birthday Tom! Those quilts you're sending out are beautiful. It's fun to make quilts for family. I'm working on my g-granddaughter's quilt and thinking I may have it done before she arrives in July.

[@noraharnett1842]

Thank your for sharing your quilts! It’s so inspiring to see everyone’ finished quilts!

[@elainekelley6358]

Love your elephant scarf! Great quilts again. Thanks

[@deanekinsel7578]

I love the purple scrap quilt. I love your energy and ideas.

[@carynwood9158]

I'm finishing my 5th finish for the year tomorrow! Moving along. Then I have to ship. I'm so nervous about sending my quilt through the mail!!

[@lindalosier5989]

So many beautiful quilts!!! I love them all but the sock monkey is my favorite. I made my grandchildren sock monkey hats for Christmas when they were little. I think they need sock monkey quilts as teens. I'm thinking about doing the flap jack & pulling from my stash. I have 2 rolling carts with fat quarters & smaller. Choosing colors isn't my strong point but I think I can do it the way you explained. I always enjoy starting my morning with you. I learned so many helpful things from watching. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

[@sonjadalglish6544]

I can say “me, too” on every point.

[@PatSloan]

You will have fun, join in! And go make some sock monkey quilts 💕

[@kassierandall2647]

I’ve starting sending quilts to family and so far they have been just thrilled- it’s great.

[@susans2599]

I've done the fat 8s flapjack quilt and loved how quickly it came together.

[@susans2599]

Thanks. I used Lollies designed by Jen Kingwell, & because it looked like I was going to be short, i substituted a limey green as the middle horizontel and and pieces, with white as the small end squares.

[@1elsue]

That quilt is soooo cool

[@yiayia1071]

Beautiful quilts. You’re family will be so pleased ❤️

[@dot7146]

Oh my, Pat you are a bad influence. 😂 I don’t really need to start another project. I have so many UFO’s.

[@gaylebenigar7883]

You’re really making great progress on the flea market x stitch! I’m having a terrible time deciphering the color codes. Love the pattern, though. Thanks for all your encouragement!

[@jeanettewithrow9641]

Lucky nieces. What wonderful prizes

[@suejameson1517]

Pat , I absolutely agree with the contrast of pink on Flea Market flowers. In fact, I suspect it’s a mistake. I totally swapped out the mid pink for the very lightest one and that’s far more like it looks in the photo. Thanks for another great video

[@patblood6384]

Your scrap quilt is just wonderful! I have a pile of scraps that I have been debating about whether to keep or toss........well, now I know. I will keep and make scrap blocks. This layout really struck a chord with me. Absolutely love it!

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

Beautiful quilts. Can I be your sister too.? Lol. Love them ❤️❤️❤️

[@lindagear9014]

Regarding the Flea Market sew along, the pink may not be the correct colour but I really like it, it is rich and sophisticated pulls the design together, love it.

[@marykubicek5434]

Thanks for sharing some of your vault quilts.

[@barbaradull1056]

Beautiful quilts and such variety! I am sewing the three sizes in the secret lives of color too.but I sew a little ahead so I can sew each unit together with the background square

[@janetbarry4088]

Good morning all you fun quilters !! I am using a red, white and blue line for our Flapjacks Q.A., wondering what color you would use for the small square's ?

[@daleruthmoore7085]

Maybe use a cream or gold for the squares. Or use reds and blues for the strips, and whites for the squares.

[@AvivaHadas]

Wideback is great for borders.

[@avkgma]

Pat, wish I were one of your nieces!! Is Letters From Home pattern available anywhere? Link in your blogpost no longer works for fat quarter shop. Could it be available anywhere else?? Thank you for always inspiring us. Yours is the one video I look for every morning.

[@PatSloan]

Not right now, I don't have it in a place for you to purchase

[@avkgma]

Thank you, Pat. I appreciate your reply. I so admire your talent and your generosity.

[@monataylor2600]

I am giving away my Glow quilt made with Bonnie Lane (I know, can’t believe it either!) Does Benartex ever reprint a line of yours? I would buy it in a flash!

[@PatSloan]

lucky person getting it! No they do not repeat lines

[@isabelcharles4906]

Love your crumb quilt. Are they half triangle blocks..also how many blocks. I also have sooo many scraps that I want to do the same. Tks

[@karenmcclung5046]

Where did you buy your red/white fabric storage bins on your shelves. Love the purple with the crumb blocks!

[@PatSloan]

at the container store about 20 yrs ago, they dont' carry red and white for many years

[@debranightengale4352]

Pat I love all you do. I need to ask you again, what is the name of the red quilt behind you? I really want to make it. Where can I find it? You help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Debbie

[@debranightengale4352]

Saw you answering my question yesterday. Thank you, ❤️

[@patriciahomer5342]

Beautiful quilts as always! I wonder if your nieces watch your channel? 😆 🥰

[@camillewinkleman5519]

Why not continue the theme of scrappy by doing piano keys between two thin purple borders?

[@PatSloan]

i don't really have the same types of scraps since i sewed them all into blocks on 2021

[@carolcthomas8432]

If this is on your site, sorry I am asking. Direct me to the location. How do you box up, pack up, ship a quilt? I have never done that before.

[@PatSloan]

i do it just like any other package. wrap it in plastic incase the box is damaged. Put a label inside with address and contact info. ship the box

[@carolmcqueen3497]

Please give me the name of the ladies name of the video you shared on Memory. I can't find it. Thanks.

[@annerauchenstein4789]

Can we buy the love notes pattern?

[@PatSloan]

Not right now, I don't have it in a place for you to purchase

[@conniekohler2733]

When you find a fat quarter bundle that you just can't live without!! How do you decide how much accent fabric you purchase?
