Loving your Barn Star Sampler blocks Pat! It is so good to be getting to the slightly smaller ones now 💕😂

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Hi Pat I’m hoping for the Block a day quilt that you would have a great awesome border the way you always do, because I really love how you finish the quilt, with the borders ❣️🧵✂️🪡❤️💗💓💕💖

[@GiGi-si9mo]

Great tip with the light. Wish I knew about it last weekend when I was sewing a quilt with white on white fabric. Thank goodness for Jack. Had to take out a few. Now I will know. Thank you.

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Wonderful news that you and Gregg are headed out on a trip! Have SEW much fun!!!

[@jangloss6837]

Good morning dear quilt friends ❤

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Pat! Love the piggies!!! What a very sweet & touching poem by Wanda 💗💗 I think she touched on mostly everything you do for us!!

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

You enjoy your break ,you deserve it ❤️

[@mariawells8026]

Oh my goodness Pat, the Barn Quilt is gorgeous!!! Can't wait to see it all! I'm very tempted now to buy the book and make it. That poem was so sweet and lovely of her to write for you! Thank you for all you do.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Awww, Pat, that poem is perfect and special, she sure does have a tala t for writing 🥰❣️ Have a good weekend, 🥰 Chris I will go into shock without your morning videos, but have a good well deserved vacation ❣️

[@nancyandersen615]

Love your block a day quilt. In my humble opinion I think a teal inner border would detract from the chain that runs throughout your quilt. Love Wanda's poem. Her words express all our thoughts of you.

[@noraharnett1842]

Your carpenter star is beautiful! I finally got my book last week and it is a beautiful book. Love the poem…. It describes you perfectly!

[@patricialeshkow6387]

You certainly deserve a break! Enjoy the time.

[@sharbubr2802]

Your barn star for this month is wonderful. It couldn’t be any more beautiful.

[@NanaAngie]

What a beautiful poem, you should frame it ❤❤

[@jocropley]

The poem is amazing .

[@JeanetteMastin]

[@sewquilty]

So Glad you are taking some time off in April. You work so hard--you need a little "refresh" self care time! Yes, I am MADLY sewing the last of the March Blocks-LOL! Love the poem.

[@diane3363]

Oh Pat what a wonderful tribute a poem just for you! I agree with the author100%!

[@nikkireynolds9514]

Your critter quilt is turning into quite the community quilt!

[@designsbychristinacunningh8520]

That poem was priceless!!! Loved the pig too. Thanks for sharing!

[@karenbeck8769]

We vacation at the shore in Ocean City, Maryland every year. One of our first stops is to buy Berger cookies (4 boxes at a time). They are my grandaughters' favorites! I hope you have a wonderful vacation!

[@joyscranfield5527]

Barn blocks look fabulous & big. Sewcialities block, as always, is a hit. Lovely visit today. Taking a couple of weeks off? Good for you & Mr Gregg! You have to recharge at some point...enjoy your travel time...be careful & stay safe on the highways. See you online tomorrow!

Love your barn star block . I also miss your beautiful tulip quilt that's usually behind you in the spring , love that one . looking forward to the new tulip wallhanging .

[@Oceanquilts]

Love that 🐷 piggie!!!!! And us peeps from Maryland say Baltimore a lil bit different. It depends on which part of Baltimore you are from. We do crabs first and Smith Island Cake second, and Berger cookies third😊

[@collinsjohnson-uk8vc]

Love, love, love the scarf! Very stunning!

[@dawncunningham6558]

Have you considered using your Selvages from your fabrics as the title of the books for the upcoming Holiday Hoopla Library quilt? Always enjoy your shows, the poem from Wanda is perfect. Need to frame it & put in your studio.

[@pamelaarbour3368]

Beautiful poem.

[@darlenepalmer9837]

Yes it is. How special.

[@lisapearce2147]

Berger cookies are the best!!

[@gailwhitaker4670]

Oh my, I have so much trouble finding the right and wrong sides of the white-on-white fabric. I'm going to order the UV flashlight. Thanks for adding the flashlight to your list for us to check out.

[@jeanfuller199]

I’m so excited to make this quilt along with you! Jean

[@GrammyQ46]

Love your Barn Star block

[@cindyunruh7976]

I’m doing the barn star sampler with the author. It’s a once a month also but I’m sew excited with this quilt. It’s hard to not jump ahead!

[@barbaradull1056]

Love your colors in the barn star block also how special to have a poem written for you

[@maryswarts2282]

Will put block a month together today...now I MUST make a tulip door hanger❤😂

[@sarahguidry9802]

My 10 year old grandson was walking by just now and said, "Grams a scorpion will glow under one of those flashlights! We should get one."

[@collinsjohnson-uk8vc]

Happy Sunday

[@collinsjohnson-uk8vc]

How are you doing today?

[@patricialeshkow6387]

Like the idea of the ultraviolet light. I do have difficulty when using white on white as background

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Lovely poem for a dear person! Loving your BSS. Still trying to find the book. Travel? A well deserved vacation I hope!

[@annabraun5995]

I really like the Kaffe fabric.

[@victoriapaetow4376]

Good morning:)

[@claudiamccartney4381]

Fantastic poem!

[@barbarageorge4555]

A question for Pat. How many books and magazines have you written? And do you have a copy of them all? I’d be curious to have a visual of all your publications through the years. It’s probably amazing.

[@herredness13]

I would be curious to know how many bags of gummies you get in the year. Probably a little late to start counting. Would be fun to have a guess at the end of the year.

[@teresaayars3164]

Busy day!

[@collinsjohnson-uk8vc]

Happy Sunday

[@bettysue52]

ok, someone needs to show me how to tie my scarf that way!!

[@virginiacollis4580]

The real border and then the raspberry wilder border is perfect! Don't CV change it ...not the pink.

[@sonjadalglish6544]

You are amazingly busy! Love the Barn Star Blocks. Your color placement is awesome!

[@collinsjohnson-uk8vc]

Happy Sunday

[@dianalonghenry4933]

How big will the Barn Star quilt finish at?

[@PatSloan]

Look at the book, it tells you

[@johnmorganjr.2982]

Pat you need to cross stitch Wanda’s poem.

[@patz780]

I noticed that today’s two blocks are identical where the first two blocks had the same color ways but different fabric. Purposeful? Why the different choices?

[@loriv895]

She talked about her choices around the 8:00 mark.

[@patz780]

@@loriv895 Yes, she spoke of her choices on today’s block. I was observing that the two blocks today were identical, where the two blocks of the last two weeks were slightly different fabric choices. I wonder if today’s identical blocks were because she had a fellow quilter assist her this week?

[@PatSloan]

it is just what I felt like doing.. i pick all the fabric for all my blocks on all my quilts. Dont' read into things that are not there my friend

[@elainekelley6358]

Wanda, what a gift! that poem is great.
