Wow...you are VERY creative and these projects are amazing and have a very artistic and stylish look. I'm sure you've inspired many sewers, and because of this unique method you've developed even inspired people to start sewing. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the world.

[@bettyschmid6248]

Having my first coffee this morning and ran across your tutorial on rope “do dads”. I’m on my second 1000 ft of cotton rope now. I’m just as addicted to it as I am to quilting,, HELP 😂. Wish I could show you what I’ve made so far. After seeing your large Market Bag I do believe it will be next. For the past few years as Christmas gifts I’ve made some type of sewing project for my family; which seem to grow each year. Gifts have been aprons, pillowcases jellyroll rugs and pat year was Sliced Rugs. 17 rugs each year😂. I am so blessed to be able to do all the stitching I do and plus watch tutorials such as yours to inspire me. KEEP ON STITCHIN❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

The rope bowls are very addictive. Nice to sit and make something so beautiful so quickly

[@MsDjvinson]

You are just full of knowledge 😊

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

+Tamson Darland I have been so pleased to give something useful, attractive and homemade as gifts. Not one eye roll with this batch.

[@tamsondarland8951]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I think this idea is really nice. I like all the different items you can make from the clothesline. Thank you also so very much for the wonderful step by step instructions for each project. Video taped very well the step by step instructions. Would love more videos like this video. 💜😇👍

[@kimberlyevans7853]

I was watching a channel with the same project ideas I think crafty patty and between the 2 of you I feel like I could start a business from making these type of gifts. So very informative, and love your style of video here. I definitely have to watch more. Thank you so much.

Ok! You are my new hero. Just retired in June 19. It’s fate that I would find a crafts person of your caliber to help me with all the fabric I have in my stash!!

[@mgs783]

Good camera work with dialogue! Love the idea of the thread being decorative. It would be cool to use glow in the dark thread for a nightstand dish 😉. Oh the possibilities 👍❣️

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Give it a go. Let me know how it works

[@susieinthecountry4434]

i like your hairstyle in this video, just a random comment. I enjoy your blog and instagram. thanks for sharing.

[@cheryllynnalston-morton9512]

You are AMAZING!!! BRAVO!!!

[@BURZZA3G]

You are amazing that looks like such a fun project! What is wrong with people who do this thumbs down stuff? I will never understand why you tube allows it anyway. It is nothing but negativity. If they don't like what they see they can move on, no one needs to hear it...OK, I'm stepping off my soapbox now. LOL

[@iristinajohnson8887]

The last one would be a nice beach bag as well

[@mildredridgway9819]

These are fabulous! I’ve got 11 months to get these done!!

[@MamaJLW]

Today is a difficult day for me. Yesterday there was a mass shooting at an elementary school in a nearby community. Our news is full of the details and I'm on overload. I needed something to listen to that was more engaging than music, preferably funny. KZbin tutorials usually hit the spot. This video re-dropped on my connect screen for KZbin. I immediately clicked to watch again because it's Karen Brown. Of the MANY things she does well, she's my go-to for a soothing voice, no muss nor fuss and something fascinating to discover. Karen, if you read this, thank you.

[@American_Honey]

Thank you! Very easy to follow instructions!!

[@virginiapritchard1471]

just what I needed.

[@TheVeraLucy]

The GREATEST video EVER!!! Very nicely done, good music, good voice, brought me happiness with those projects! Let’s sew them!!

[@barbarastclair9429]

I love all your videos. I'm not a quilter. I upholster professionally, and have my workshop attached to my home. When I have some 'me time', I craft. I find your videos helpful for both sides of my life and I have told friends who do quilts about your videos. I'm thinking of using my scraps from my many projects to make rag rugs and now after watching this to make some of these projects as well using scrap ropes (instead of actual rope). Thank you very much for these wonderful videos and thank you for being you.
