Hi Rachel, Thank you so much for sharing this pattern on your channel! I love what you've both made - they're adorable! This is been delightful to watch and have you share your honest opinion xx Ali

[@stitchwithrachel]

You are very welcome, and thank you for blessing us all with an amazing pattern, and so many helpful tips on your IG ❤️

[@user-rb3ob5lr5b]

Didn’t realize this pattern was free until I watched your video!! Thanks for sharing this information and providing the end results! They are both very nice.

[@ambermeyer9655]

Thanks Rachel for sharing this pattern 😊 think I might make the ladies in the office this for women's day ❤

[@user-fs5vi6if8i]

Lovely video, Rachel. Notepad pattern is great. Thank you for sharing. I will sign up to get it. How wonderful to have a sister to sew with! 😊

[@jaynegreen6279]

Thank you so much for sharing. I got in on the free pattern looks like just in the nick of time! Looking forward to sewing one up! Your quilt on the wall is so nice! Love the colors!

[@gretroman8235]

Well done on both projects. Could be adapted to many styles of notepads for gift giving. Great job.

[@dominika4902]

You chose beautiful colors of the fabrics. I also sewed FocusFinder, Ali created a great project.

[@Lehcar1]

I’m just loving your channel more and more

[@stitchwithrachel]

Aww thank you, I appreciate you 💗

[@user-gb8sc3ib1w]

I imagine all sorts of designers will want you to share their pattern because we enjoy your teaching style. Thanks! Side note: going to need your sisters shirt. Love cats!

[@louisel.sinniger2057]

My word! These turned out lovely. Loved either printed materials. The sky’s the limit with what ever strikes your fancy. Thank you

[@stitchwithrachel]

Absolutely, thank you for watching ❤️

[@Roxanne-xx9nv]

Those are so cute! They will make great Christmas gifts. It’s fun to see you and your sisters different style. You’re blessed to have a sister to sew with.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Yeah they will be brilliant for Christmas gifts, even a Christmas themed one for your festive planning. 💖

[@Sewmena918]

You both did such a nice job on your covers. Beautiful!

[@stitchwithrachel]

Thank you so much!!

[@CindyOgilvie]

Dueling sewing machines! How fun! Both projects are lovely.

[@TheHawkeyeQuilter]

Quilting can be such a lonely journey -- how nice to be able to spend time quilting with your sister. Great fabric choices. Love the thick strap on the Focus Finder -- but who doesn't need some dingle dangles!

[@stitchwithrachel]

It was so refreshing to sit and chat chat while sewing and also bounce idea off each other 💖

[@sheilamiller1002]

Another lovely video Rachel. Thank you. (Now I want to make the quilt and the notebook cover! 😂)

[@stitchwithrachel]

Go for it! Thank you for watching ❤️

[@ariadneferreira2252]

This is so awesome! What a lovely way to spend the day- sewing with your sister! Thank you for another wonderful video! ❤

[@jacquelinestrand6283]

Both are so beautiful❤️

[@pennyballard8615]

Rachel, they are both lovely, I am going to get some pads and make them for Christmas presents, I have just got my free pattern. Love both of your fabric choices and had fun watching your video. Thank you. xx

[@stitchwithrachel]

They will make such lovely Christmas gifts, oooh I might make a Christmas themed one later in the year with a Christmas pad for all those lifts you need at that time of year 💖

[@user-zg1hu3my3c]

So glad I found you. You're a delight to watch. Always smiling and bubbly😊

[@ird645]

Your Liberty quilt is so beautiful. I'm impressed that you get so much done so quickly.

[@sallylines3141]

What a simple …but effective note pad holder! I have done one very similar with card stock…….always so useful. Thanks so much, your enthusiasm is always infectious and it’s lovely to sew with friends and family. Your Liberty Quilt is beautiful 🎉

[@claudettebettis9463]

Love both projects. Thanks for sharing. I did request the pattern.

[@cristinatomas4100]

Gracias 🩷

[@gracepatane9384]

Very nice job, ladies!! You couldn’t be more opposite on fabric selections!😂😂😂 You are so lucky to have your sister to sew with!! And, I very much enjoy watching you! 💜

[@stitchwithrachel]

I know, such different colours 🤣

[@debbiebrewington7635]

Love the Notepad Covers, both are beautiful. The stitching is perfect! Thank you so much for sharing. 😊

[@dotathillcrest]

Thank you Rachel, love to see you sewing together. Signed up for the pattern.

[@judyzeigler3980]

Both look really nice. You both do such beautiful work. And yes I believe you both are very different when it comes to style and design. But you both make beautiful stuff. I’ve seen your sister stuff before. It really looks nice and of course yours does. I watch you all the time. Love it. Have a wonderful day. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@quiltgirl9839]

I downloaded the patterns, thank you. This will make great gifts and great items to purchase at a Guild Boutique.

[@stitchwithrachel]

You're welcome, it's such a lovely pattern.

[@melariejohnson9795]

I love your bright colors. However, your sister's botanical print is fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Wonderful to see the pattern in different fabrics 💖

[@phyllislyttle2280]

Beautiful work, so happy i found your channel. Thank you ..❤

[@bonniegodwin2055]

Here’s what has been under my needle all week. I haven’t been feeling great so there are clearly mistakes with my triangles are up and down.

[@bonniegodwin2055]

Ughhh I can’t get the picture to load up 😵‍💫

[@gabrielleseeley4117]

Super pretty! The quilt on your project wall is beyond gorgeous. Congratulations 😊

[@stitchwithrachel]

@@gabrielleseeley4117 thank you so much

[@sherrylesina7224]

I loved tghe way it turned out. I just finished signing up for my free pattern. Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@Daisymoo07]

These are beautiful! I love that you and your sister have such different aesthetics ❤

[@stitchwithrachel]

We do! So nice to see how different the patterns come out with different colours

[@asimpson3788]

I love how you and your sister have totally different taste in fabrics and yet you share a hobby and are obviously really close but still you have your own styles! Hope that made sense! 🤣 x

[@stitchwithrachel]

Yeah totally, and I think that's what is great about all the fabric choices out there.. so many possibilities

[@maryt2887]

It’s so interesting how you and your sister have very different tastes. (I don’t have a sister, so this fascinates me.) Both notebooks are lovely. I signed up for the pattern about an hour ago, and I just received it. You always find the most interesting projects! Thank you!

[@stitchwithrachel]

I hope you enjoy stitching it 💖

[@wendydoyle65]

Feel better soon an thanks for the tutorial

[@nildamager1649]

Beautiful and so practical 👍

[@ncmckinley]

Thank you for guiding us to the pattern. I’m heading straight to TJ Maxx to see if my local store has any of those William Morris notepads! Will definitely be making these for gifts! Hope you feel better soon.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Hopefully they do, they had a good variety in my store. Although it's TK maxx here.. how strange!

[@Auntie7024]

Very cute! 😊

[@amelia13131]

Lovely! 😊 Hope your allergies are better soon 💕

[@dianehuntley2493]

Very nice😊 enjoy your videos!

[@roseanndeighan5872]

Superb notepad!!

[@stitchwithrachel]

@@roseanndeighan5872 thank you!

[@Satuskanal]

So beautiful and practical, can not see se pattern...😊🪡🧶🧵

[@Love2Quilt]

Hi from Illinois

[@stitchwithrachel]

@@Love2Quilt hello 💖

[@nancimcgreevy5328]

You are so lucky to have a willing sister to make things with…when can we meet her? 😊

[@stitchwithrachel]

It was such a lovely day, and I think it's given her sewing mojo back. I don't think she will want to be on camera so headless shots for now

[@user-gb8sc3ib1w]

The headless comment had me LOL. I’m very much a watcher of videos vs ever wanting to be on camera. 😂

[@kimdodd6677]

❤🌹❤🍁

[@feidie64]

I am not sure that I made it in time for the free pattern :( It did show me the shopping list so....

[@marionmathews9852]

These turned out so beautiful. I love the dress/top that your sister is wearing……the fabric had me drooling. Is it a garment that your sister made herself?

[@stitchwithrachel]

It's lovely isn't it. It's a jump suit by lucy and yak 💖

[@marionmathews9852]

Thank you for the info

[@gracepatane9384]

I have a quick question, Rachel. Was this pattern in the Alice Caroline S-A-L? I only ask because mentioned a deadline to download patterns. I signed up for the S-A-L, but haven’t downloaded any of the patterns yet. I am recovering from spine surgery, & I’ve been under the weather.

[@stitchwithrachel]

No no this is completely separate. There is lifetime access to the Alice Caroline patterns and videos so you don't need to worry about downloading them. This was a free make along with Arabesque scissors and the free period ends on the 5th, but available for general purchase after that

[@gracepatane9384]

Thank You for the information, Rachel.💜

[@bonniegodwin2055]

Hi Rachel, great project! What is your sister’s name?

[@stitchwithrachel]

@bonniegodwin2055 thank you, its Meg 😃

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

It would have been nice if you’d actually given a shoutout or thank you to Ali from Arabesque Scissors. You never once mentioned her but are happy to give away the link to her free pattern.

[@stitchwithrachel]

@alexandra-zaza-burns on reflection, it would have been good if I thanked her personally. However, I was feeling really unwell in this video, so it simply slipped my mind. I have been in private communications with her and she was happy for me to share the link. However I have mentioned the pattern (focus finder) by name and provided the link, and therefore, I promoted her newsletter.

[@stitchwithrachel]

I feel quite upset by this comment 😔

[@gracepatane9384]

You acknowledged the pattern by name, & provided the link. It’s not like you were trying to take the credit for it being your design, & your pattern. Some people get a little carried away with things. Don’t let it get you upset.

[@nicola.p]

⁠@@stitchwithrachel Don't be upset, you have no reason to be. You directed people to her site to get the pattern. She will still benefit from that promotion, it wasn't like you took her pattern and are giving it away directly yourself and bypassing the designer.

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

@@stitchwithrachel I’m sorry you feel this way but if you make a video using someone else’s free pattern it’s nice to mention their name. Every time you mentioned the quilt you are doing by Alice Caroline you mentioned her name, you didn’t mention the name of the quilt you mentioned the designer by name. If it was your design being used I’m sure you would like to have been acknowledged.
