Sew With Me / Ohio Star Quilt Block / Block 4

[@JB-wu9dc]

I'm just joining in, better late than never. Enjoying your tutorials and your darling kitty.

[@lowentx]

So glad Jax could join us. 😆

[@viviajohnson696]

It's so nice to see a quilter on KZbin with a cat on screen. My cats are always "assisting" me. Authentic!!! You do a great job. Love your videos.

[@juanitamayes6329]

Love Jax .... He's my favorite part of all your videos. He makes me laugh.

[@tanyayakel5987]

The cat seriously. Love it. I get tons of help too. Just got a new kitten and haven’t tried sewing with him yet. I’m sure he will be very helpful as his name is Patchwork. Lol.

[@vedatobias1702]

Jacks is so cute! You never have to apologize that he is helping you make a cute block!! I have 2 kitties. He is adorable!!

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Watching these while I nurse my newborn and living vicariously through your sewing. Soon we are moving to a place that will have room for me to set up a sewing space, and we will be going from home schooling my preschooler and online schooling my fifth grader to them both being in a school building. So I'll be able to care for the baby and have some personal time to sew and paint and draw again. Our new home has a long back deck facing a pond and a main road, so I want to make large scale barn star quilts to hang over the railing on nice days

[@kathyrackow880]

I see you have your sewing buddy with you today. Another Fun Star. Thanks Erica!

[@marshabatson1757]

Thanks for the great tip at the very beginning with the way you used the square ruler to mark the quarter inch above the “invisible” center line. They are lots of tricks to rulers I have not learned yet! It’s a beautiful quilt block too!

[@jlhoeting]

Jax is the best! I have two tuxedoes that are constantly interfering with my sewing. 😸

[@trishwitters2629]

Thanks for another method on sewing flying geese. So many good tips in this video. Thanks for another great tutorial….and I love when Jax makes an appearance! Too cute!

[@susanbraun698]

I can never remember this method of doing flying geese when doing it on my own. Glad I could see it again and it is in your PDF.

[@KittenBowl1]

Hey Erica, love this tutorial for Ohio Star block! So easy to follow and with such cute fabrics too, such a charming block! And your kitty assistant Jax is always adorable!! 💕😸

[@turpenju1]

She's a great teacher and does a wonderful job. She can also pick beautiful fabric that looks great in a quilt.

[@jennifer7a6]

Love this one! I’m really enjoying this quilt along! Jax was my favorite part of the video, lol

[@laurellecoppard7952]

I love how Jax is just watching everything you do. I'm sure he thinks you are talking to him :-) Loving these blocks.

[@nrock76]

I am new to sewing/quilting, your videos are the best! Thank you for this monthly block it is so much fun. Give Jax a kiss for me!

[@Sew4Fun]

I really enjoy these videos. I'm not in a place where I can sew at the moment so your videos are scratching my sewing itch and I'm learning a lot at the same time. I also need a Jax fix every so often, so we've got both!

[@lauriewillis5988]

I love Jax! :) He's adorable and I really have learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you!!

[@reneejohnson5041]

another awesome video! Thanks for the details and tips you give. Love this block. Thanks for the reminder on the tip on how to make those flying geese!

[@denisepineda1788]

I love the fabrics you used for this Ohio Star block!! Your cat just cracks me up. Thanks for the video!

[@leaht4505]

I really love this block! Thanks for another excellent tutorial. Love Jax trying to get in the video too😉! Thanks, Erica💕💕

[@brendavannucci4339]

I love all your videos! You're so easy to follow when making a quilt! Thank you for being you❣️

[@terrynero81]

Please don't apologize for the cat, he makes the video so much fun. Everyone who watches you knows how fun it is to watch you work around him.

[@jobabs]

Such a cute scrappy block.

[@margaretcorrado8269]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You make every block seem doable. But have to say Jax steals the show. He is too cute. 😻

[@bumblebeeflyaway]

I'm new to quilting and I am really learning a lot from your tutorials. Thank you!

[@angelastoutenger7944]

Beautiful block! Thanks for the tutorial Erica. Jax was certainly getting into it today. See you next time.

[@marilynwinder977]

Thanks for this tutorial! As a newer quilter this is very helpful!

[@jodyclemens4992]

I love your method. The block pattern is made so professionally … what a fun quilt. Thank you for sharing your method.

[@kathiefife9111]

Love everything about this video! Especially your sweet helper. :) it’s good to see how you use the creative grid rulers. I love how they don’t move, but the extra .25 & .5” on those mess with my brain and I have to use another ruler on top to make sure I’m cutting the right size. Enjoy seeing how you coordinate fabrics. So nice! Thank you!!

[@wandahoyt9250]

I love watching your videos

[@cweirich40]

Thank you Erica, your instructions are easy to follow.

[@shellylemons]

Children and pets add character to videos. I love them.

[@trishcarpenter8934]

Love, love, love this block! And not just because I am originally from Ohio! Your tutorials are so helpful and informative and inspirational! I'm enjoying the journey of learning how to quilt this year (my newest pandemic hobby) and my skills are definitely growing. Thank you for all that you do!!!!

[@robertaarrowsmith2860]

Do not apologize for Jax. He is enhances your wonderful tutorials. 😻 I love the Ohio Star. I also prefer the way you made you Flying Geese. I think it is more accurate than some others, and less time consuming than the paper method. Thanks, Erica.😻❤🧵🪡

[@jilldickson3059]

Just love your videos Erica. You are a natural teacher - whether it's blocks or bags, I love'em all!

[@SammiJarrad]

The cat attacking your quilting stuff is adorable and makes me laugh. I’m really enjoying this quilt! 💜

[@sherisouthard1766]

Jax is too cute! 😊

[@kated4359]

I’ve made Ohio stars many times, but I watch your tutorials, because you ALWAYS have clever new ideas. Thank you!!!

[@sherikenney1401]

Thank you for this detailed tutorial! Your videos are always so very helpful and fun! 🥰

[@cindyf181]

This is a beautiful block. Your instructions are very clear.

[@patriciakalisak4300]

I love your series. Jax is so cute!

[@jeniferbeatty5983]

Thank you for the tutorials, I am very grateful for what you do for all of us.

[@Quiltycrazy]

Nice block. Another one to make! Love your cat, so friendly.

[@littlebit3l]

Love following you. Have recommended your channel to friends. You really have a gift for teaching

[@judyriddell]

What a wonderful tutorial! I am a new quilter and attempted to make this block yesterday. It did not go well. I cut each piece and tried to machine sew. NOW I know to square, use my rulers, iron and nest seams. Shew, I have a lot to learn! Very thankful to have found your channel. Also, I love Jack!

[@erica_arndt]

So glad the video helped! :) Keep at it, the more you sew the easier it will get!

[@joannsmith8189]

Thank you for your video, I’ve been waiting on this months block! I’m really enjoying watching and learning, thank you so much 😊 x

[@marileetreat4403]

Thank you, Erica! Your tutorials are great & I’ll definitely be doing this block! I love Jax being part of the fun too! He’s beautiful!! 😻

[@robinlong4216]

Erica. I really enjoy your quilt videos!! I’ve made one of your bags and the sewing machine mat as well. Thanks for filming the videos. I love to see a new notification when you release a new one.

[@louisianalady7105]

Squaring up definitely makes for a beautifully finished block! I learned the hard way, but I learned! 🥳

[@deloresrast8543]

It looks perfect!!! Thank you so much for the free monthly tutorials!!!

[@swiinka]

I'm really loving your quilting basics videos, so informative. Quilting has always seemed complex to me because I'd always see the end result, not the process of making one, but now I realise it's just basic geometry and precision in cutting and stitching. My engineering self really loves the idea behind it. Magic! (also, no need to apologise for Jax, people with pets will appreciate and those without will never understand anyway :D kinda glad my cat hates noise and as soon as I get onto sewing she excuses herself from the room!)

[@erica_arndt]

Yes, it's actually quite easy once you see it done! Of course there are more complicated quilt processes with diagonals and y-seams, but this is a beginner course :)

[@LindaM-vd5wk]

Thank you for sharing the Ohio block. Your choice of fabrics are always so cute. I am a beginner and made many mistakes. It helps to focus and follow directions. I also decided to purchase the creative grid rulers even though I have similar rulers. The non-skid dots help a lot. Thank you for being real. You help to make learning fun.

[@donnaflores1566]

I love all your videos. Your teaching technique has helped me learn so much. I’ve made a dozen zipper overnight bags, several other bags and pouches.

[@myrnamaljers6064]

Love your videos! You are a very good teacher. And I have cats also, Mia opens my sewing draw to steal the pins. :)

[@kelliwoolsey542]

New to quilting and this series is awesome for me.

[@carmenallocco6497]

Your tutorials are terrific, neat ways Tom do things and your shortcuts are great. Thank you Erica I love the block idea too.

[@margm4]

You’re a wonderful teacher…all the hints and variations at the end. Thanks 😄🇦🇺 PS, your cat likes to live dangerously at times!

[@lyngoldrick9175]

Thank you so much for your tutorials, I have enjoyed doing each one with you, you are an inspiration, best wishes to you and your lovely cat

[@bethdeck9825]

So gorgeous! I’ve been having so much fun doing this with you, you are a super teacher and I wish I had your energy ! Although being retired I don’t have too! , thank you for sharing your time and talent. God bless!

[@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic]

You explain everything so that it is easy to understand. How do you have the energy for everything you do. Home schooling plus the videos, taking your kids to their different activities and sewing and craft projects. Amazing.I have 4 rescue cats and they take turns to see who can distract me the most or get me to stop so I can give them all of my attention.

[@eleanorcm7033]

Thanks for making this video. I'm planning to try my hand at quilting in the new year. I much prefer this orientation of the star. Also love the kitty wanting your attention 😂

[@Woody1uk]

Loving the sew with me series. Thank you for making these videos.

[@lisawalters5482]

Yay! I'm excited for this next block and every block so far. I'm trying to copy your fabrics as close as I can bc I always love your quilts. Lol. Tfs!

[@peggycunningham5587]

And please don't apologize for your cat. Love seeing him in your video. Thank you can't wait till next block❤.

[@lisa5335]

[@christinebell8980]

I did the block on point. It is amazing how it changes the look of the block. Thanks for these tutorials. I always look forward to them.

[@VickiBowers]

13:04 Jax there on the right edge of the screen like he's waiting for his turn in a card game 😂💕🐈‍⬛

[@cathywirt8995]

Love watching your videos. Jacks is just like my tuxedo, Fred Astaire. He steals pins and runs out of the room! I have to chase him down. Lol

[@mariaorchid8592]

Erica thank you so much for this cute tutorial. I love your cat also. All the best.

[@Beverly2020]

This block is adorable and instructions very good. I’m a dog person, but your cat is precious and so full of personality.

[@ruthsmith6585]

[@karenhickey3377]
