[@morganosborne9258]

You make so many of us happy with your enthusiasm and willingness to open up about the struggles that come.with sobriety. This was such a lovely thing for you to do and the project is simple amazing. (She picked you some fabulous fabrics to work with too!) Keep them coming. I have a list of nexts (as soon as the crazy subsides around here( I believe this one has to move up the ranks.

[@lucyclabaugh2931]

Love you and your studio ❤, keep doing what you're doing, art and sewing art help my DXS, as well, and my grief, I truly am Thankful, lots of ❤ Love and appreciation. ❤

[@jennystrahley927]

Rob you are so fun and talented! I enjoyed your dark video, I thought it was a creative way to entertain. I kept waiting for the police to show up lol. Kudos to you for your Random Act of Kindness. Congrats on being a part of the Stitchin' Heaven Team. Can't wait to see more videos from you.

[@AudriannaB-World-Peace]

I am not a quilter and unfamiliar with all the machines and techniques, but even I could see how he was doing everything and the binding technique. I am familiar with sewing and stitching and cleaning my machine, an old Singer...and I love it. Such a kind thing for you to have done...overnight...what a lot of work and that beautiful freehand swirling stitch on that Bernini was really gorgeous!🌟❤️

[@patriciabryant6574]

Thanks for the fun! A different video for sure!

[@colleendee5781]

Rob - great job! I didn't know you had joined Stitchin Heaven! Looking forward to seeing you and learning! You are an awesome person and teacher!!!

[@StitchinHeaven]

Thanks, it all just came together in the last month

[@kenskill3201]

Great video & what a lovely idea of kindness the only part missing was the response to the kindness from the lady as she see it all finished.

[@Angie-gk8bp]

Haha!! I love your video!! It was the best,. 😻❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dianabinkowski3927]

I love that pattern and ordered the book. I started quilting because my Vietnam veteran started his journey of dealing with Agent Orange poisoning. Taking care of him, I needed a stress outlet. Quilting did the trick. I sew every day, one way or another. He passed 2 1/2 years ago but I am still quilting. Thank you .

[@judytyler1870]

I stayed up until midnight watching you stay up all night to kindly lift the work load of your coworker. Loved the video, the quilt and have enjoyed your videos for years!

[@ellenhofer3343]

This was so much fun!

[@colleenjolicoeur6059]

Had my own wonderful up all night sewing experience on the eve of Grandma's 90th birthday party. All the family were instructed to bring in 10 inch blocks with a photo on them and I brought in my finished evergreen tree strip pieced front. Just assemble and go right? Nope. Family are not sewers so no blocks showed up just cool fabric photos. All evening I sewed them into the blocks and the family drank wine and visited and encouraged me along. LOL. Then no quilting started until 11PM. Guess I had better stay at my auntie's house and learn her gorgeous PFAFF machine, An experienced night shift nurse from way back I did get into the zone and had it ready by about 4 AM then slept very soundly on the sofa. Success!!! That was so fun.

[@lorrainemoore8165]

Sounds like my family! And I'm a retired night shift nurse so I can relate. Congratulations on your Grandma's quilt 🧵❤️🪡

[@lorijacobs7341]

Way to go Rob! What a fresh take on a video! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this!

[@dustyfox5989]

We are sew excited to see Rob joining Stitchin Heaven. We love his creativity, contagious enthusiasm, and thoughtfulness. Great video! We enjoyed the project and a sneak peak of the shop. We look forward to more Sew Well videos! 😀👍❤️

[@juliejeavons6949]

Instead of the shoemaker and the elves, you are the quilter’s elf. Awesome quilt

[@jasmineshuman]

Awesome! Thank you for showing this.

[@janicerhoade979]

Nice act of kindness

[@minnie95360]

What??? We did y see her reaction😢... Entertaining as always. Thanks Rob!!!!

[@Lani-Grace]

I'm also ❤❤❤❤❤ learning, and I'm learning a lot, thank you and God bless ❤️

[@happysmile1185]

You are wonderful thank you hope I get a chance to meet you on my do it soon list.

[@irenestonecipher821]

Great teacher, I’ve been fortunate to have taken his classes in Oregon and Arizona. Looking forward to seeing and learning more!

[@StitchinHeaven]

Too kind, and Thank You!!

[@Lady-Seawulf]

AWESOME!!!!!

[@lauramcfall9051]

Love it!!! Sew much fun!!! I love making things for friends & others. I made my stylist a tote bag and she was thrilled - no one had ever made her a gift before. 😍

[@janisfelsted1172]

Rob, you're amazing. I'm glad to learn where you are these days. If you're ever planning a vacation in Idaho, let me know. I own a little quilt shop and it's a one person operation, so I'm always behind and stressed. 😂 There's a park across the street from me where your kids could play, and an airbnb across the street from that... in case you ever want to break into another quilt shop, while your family is sleeping... I'll let you know where to find the key!! 🥰

[@cindyhappel7376]

Rob I cannot believe you did that entire quilt in 24 hours!!! It wasn’t an easy quilt with all those colors!! I also was amazed at how easy your binding went on without doing the pressing to one side and tacking it down, but it turned out perfect!!! My husband and I always try to pay it forward with random acts of kindness when we’re at restaurants by paying for someone’s meal. The best one I ever did was in the grocery store and a woman was in front of me and didn’t have enough money so she was asking the checker to take this and that off, so I just told the checker to put everything back on and gave the woman $50 to cover the rest of the bill and leave a little. She was very thankful, but her daughter who was about 5 was truly happy she got her ice cream!!! Pay it forward!! It definitely comes back to you!

[@StitchinHeaven]

Great story, thanks for paying it forward. always a blessing to put others first

[@daleodberg6714]

Awesome 🌸

[@darleneappleman3911]

U are great rob

[@user-it3ol2mr3s]

You’re beautiful “kindness”

[@sharongreene3851]

Thank you for sharing your story. I am relatively new to your videos and really enjoy your energy and fun personality!! I’m feeling the need for a road trip one day so I can experience Stitchin’ Heaven in person. I promise I won’t break in!!! ❤

[@margohays6242]

That was so fun to watch!

[@LisaMayfield]

Such a fun video! Nicely done!

[@anitawilliams4861]

Wow! What a gorgeous quilt! I know Kristie must have been very grateful ☺️

[@courtneyblock6795]

Oh man I wanted to see her reaction! I kept expecting the police to show up. what a hoot. every quilters dream to spend the night in a quilt shop.

[@OutRagaous]

Not the heat, it's the humidity! So felt for you in that stealth jacket. Hopin' the a/c was working. Brutal heat this summer in Texas. Enjoyed the personal moments, too. Continue to enjoy the journey. 💝

[@nitababcock3977]

Awesome Rob! Beautiful quilt. I thought it looked familiar.

[@aidamounkes2412]

SO FUN! I love this video!!!

[@annacostanzo8917]

Too much fun!! Enjoy your videos!

[@MsPjlewis]

That was awesome, Rob!

[@sarahshaw1937]

Like the HST hack

[@brittawrolson5936]

What a great video! Exciting, and a very Fun way to surprise and help your friend.

[@leiahc6252]

This was AMAZING video! I have wanted to learn about this since I first saw your show, and now I am getting the kit! I am a color junkie, and this Quilt makes my heart SING!

[@StitchinHeaven]

So glad you enjoyed the video, I had a blast making the video and love the quilt too!!

[@pamelaleitman9200]

What a nice thing to do. Pretty quilt !!

[@sarahhockenbrocht4566]

Nice job. A random act of kindness I received was a lap quilt I won a few months after my hubby passed. It was like getting a quilty hug when I needed one. It was in floral prints purples with greens which are my fave’s.

[@StitchinHeaven]

Thanks for sharing, quilts do make great huggers!

[@camrynwalker4265]

So fun!!! Thanks for sharing y'all

[@colleenadair9904]

Amazing effort! And absolutely gorgeous quilt. What a wonderful man you are.

[@sharonoconnor7769]

What a beautiful quilt! You are so funny, and this is great video. What a wonderful thing to do for your friend.

[@sandracedar368]

That is fantabulous! You are fantabulous! Thank you for you🤗

[@davederrick9431]

Since COVID I have made 3 quilts and donated them to charities through my church.

[@dawnnewlon9069]

Great Job!

[@bina64]

Sew glad I found you again! How ‘bout giving me all call next time you move so I know where to find you. LOL LOL

[@janehague8194]

Wow what a beautiful thing to do. I wish Someone would be Kind to me. Just out of the blue. I've just lost my mum to Lung cancer and it would be great if I could afford to get the fabrics and the Pattern to make the same quilt as you have just done. Please keep up the great work. Happy Stitching everyone. And I'm sending you Crafting hugs all the way from over here in the UK. 🇬🇧💞💞💞💞

[@penelopesummersby5718]

You make it lookso easy. Thank you for the fun video

[@StitchinHeaven]

It was super fun to create. Thanks for the comment!

[@dianareddell1496]

That looks gorgeous! Great job, Rob!…now go get some sleep!

[@TheJAG1357]

Beautiful quilt. Enjoyed your video. Thank you.

[@StitchinHeaven]

Thank you very much

[@franhoadley7189]

What fun!

[@susanbradley3174]

I love your excitement about quilting. I get almost dizzy from too many choices in a fabric store.

[@connierivera1758]

This was so entertaining! Loved it!😊🎉 Thanks Rob!

[@StitchinHeaven]

Thanks, I had a blast doing the video and the quilt

[@AnitaSouthall]

Best wishes from Geraldton Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@lindalosier5989]

Beautiful quilt. Your quilting design is perfect fot this pattern ond oh the backing was fabulous!!

[@StitchinHeaven]

Right! That backing find was really exciting for me too, Rob

[@Saucyakld]

It should read 'breaking into his quilt shop ' 😂

[@cheryljackson7154]

I thought this was hilarious. I wish someone would break into my sewing room and make me a quilt. I might just have to make a visit to this store. My daughter moved to Ft. Worth and I make the trek down at least once a month. I live northeast of Tulsa, so it's about a 5 hour drive. What's another hour or two? I would love to meet Rob. He's just a great guy.

[@StitchinHeaven]

come visit we have cottages available for rent:) stitchinheaven.com/pages/the-retreat-center-and-the-cottages

[@bertaquilt]

Light would be helpful.

[@katrinahough290]

Your adventure reminds me of a weekend accreditation visit to our school. We worked all day, taught adult classes in the evening, then after that we worked on fixing the paperwork that the team had ready for us. The school security came to the office window, some where around 12 AM, we told them call the principal, we had work to get done!. Saturday and Sunday were more work and reworking paperwork. Needless to say, we were exhausted, but we got the job done! Congratulations on your new endevors! I've enjoyed your videos since your M* days!

[@kellystallard2371]

You are a total nutter and I love it!!! Wonderful show!!!

[@janrobins311]

Hey, Rob! I loved it. Can you show me a close up of the binding technique? Please.

[@StitchinHeaven]

I will work on a binding by machine video real soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@sweetibbies]

I have given bottled water and fruit to people on the side of the road. When they are down on their luck.

[@terianderson9788]

Loved it, but what was the reaction? I want to see what everyone thought of you doing a quilt overnight!

[@StitchinHeaven]

She loved the quilt, but I loved it more and decided to make it the backdrop for my new show, Sew Well!

[@blairseibert1778]

Rob, I love your enthusiasm. Keep talking about sobriety!! Quilting is therapy for many of us. I've watched this a couple of times. The first time was before I bought the book, the second time was after I bought the book. I'm a little confused because the book mentions 14 different fabrics. (15 with the single background). I made a list of your fabrics combinations and came up with 16 fabrics per this video. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to change out what's in the book and what's on your video. Does Stitchin Heaven provide some kind of pattern for this quilt if you buy the book? That would be so helpful. I LOVE Churn, Churn, Churn from the book too! I've got that up on the wall now. Thank you for clarifying.

[@luluplumb9644]

Fun watching, but the ornery side of me hoped the cops would bust you at the front door leaving! An extra little punch of intrigue.

[@coreygilles847]

Ah…the dream of having a friend with a quilt shop…

[@StitchinHeaven]

Yes, and better than owning it yourself, then it becomes work, haha! Rob

[@margrettudor2115]

I LOVE your enthusiasm! So glad you are doing SEW WELL! Your always a glorious inspiration for me♥️

[@charismascorner]

You are amazing Rob!!

[@StitchinHeaven]

Takes one to know one!

[@susanbell8731]

I wish we could have seen Kristy come in and see it.

[@dreed5530]

Interesting but.... actual lighting would have been better for this video. It would also have been nice to see the reaction to finding the finished quilt. That said. It looks like a nice pattern. Thanks for sharing.

[@maryannnations5196]

How did you do that-looks great! Are you no longer with Michael Miller? Welcome to Texas, hope to meet you, I live in Austin!

[@StitchinHeaven]

Thank you, it was a blast to create. I did resign from MMF and will be bouncing between California and Texas, make sure to follow along so you may swing by for a hug one day

[@manations1]

@@StitchinHeaven Sounds great, I look forward to them and hopefully meeting you one day. I live in Austin. I enjoy your videos and Stitchin Heaven.

[@ranjanarao5303]

What is the use u doing in dark so we can't make it. Clearly. Very smart.

[@scottydog6539]

I was disappointed watching this video. I wanted to see her reaction in the morning discovering your very sweet favor.

[@maryannnations5196]

Fabulous, how did you do it! Are you no longer with Michael Miller? Welcome to Texas!

[@karin0963]

That is my question. Yes, welcome to Texas!! 🤠

No one is there, look for any light switch!

Would love to see this in adequate light. 😢

[@ritawhitney210]

Rob you still with Michael Miller?

[@StitchinHeaven]

No, I am putting all of my creative energy into Stitchin Heaven

[@joycedietzel7503]

Wish I could have seen what you were doing, every thing except the actual sewing , were to dark to see the detail! Please cut out the acting, and just demonstrate the quilting! ~~joyce

[@DL-by8el]

Don't you want to prewash? Remove the music

[@StitchinHeaven]

I never prewash for quilts, only garments that I do want the fabric to shrink in the future. I also do not wash most of my quilts, so there is no need to wash and press the fabric before I start.

[@lemaykevin]

Rob, I do love your shows and quilting, but this video you're doing in the dark is the worst I have ever seen you do! I've watched half of it and totally got bored. Man, i know you can do better than this. this is just my thoughts.

[@StitchinHeaven]

I am sorry you felt that way, and I do appreciate the feedback.

[@luluplumb9644]

Fun watching, but the ornery side of me hoped the cops would bust you at the front door leaving! An extra little punch of intrigue.
