Yes I’m much better thank you x

[@lesleysmith7452]

Hope you feel better very soon. I’m not so far away from Harrogate so might come along at some point. Your granny squares are gorgeous 💕 I did try crocheting but I was rubbish ! Can’t wait to see your Nicks dress xxx

[@runningsewandsew]

Come along to the Harrogate Sewcial

[@nicky-Sewandsnip]

Hope you feel better soon🌻

[@runningsewandsew]

Thanks Nicky, yes every day I've felt so much better. I do hate being ill as I feel I loose so much time! x

[@annewyman2039]

Get well soon 😊. Funny when you were filming at the second shop I thought that looks like Barry's in Birmingham- along way from the North! Made sense when you explained that Leon's are part of the same group.

[@runningsewandsew]

Thank you Anne, yes it was so interesting when they explained the links to us. xx

[@dianehess3706]

Hello Judy! I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. I was a school bus driver for a few years so I know kids spread germs like glitter. Take care of yourself. I enjoy your videos but you come first. I don’t crochet but I knit and it’s knitting season now 😊. I did try crochet but it hasn’t clicked for me yet 😅. Mitered squares are my meditative knitting. I put on an audiobook and knit for hours! It the same with embroidery or coloring. I love the fabric for your Nicks dress. Can’t wait to see it. Rest and take care of yourself. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤

[@sweet_pea_green]

@@dianehess3706 I love that - “scatter like glitter” 😂 oh so true

[@dianehess3706]

@@sweet_pea_green Yep it’s soooo true 😂😂

[@runningsewandsew]

a community virus is a good one! oh the memories x

[@janetyler1642]

Lovely to hear what you have been doing Judi. You are doing better than me with the granny squares. I have only perfected one pattern 😂 Lovely fabric purchases. Hope you feel better soon ❤

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh Jane thank you. How are you my lovely xx

[@runningsewandsew]

Will what app

[@KarenScott6]

I know how frustrating it is when things do not join up properly. I once made loads of blocks which had to be made and then cut to make other blocks. I made them all (king sized quilt), laid it out so the colours flowed down the quilt and only then found that I had made an error in step 2. I did put it together, put the wadding and backing on and let my daughter and her friends use it as an enormous play mat. I only tacked it together and practised machine quilting on the occasional square because I tend to hand quilt. I made my daughter a big quilt during lockdown and a charity baby one since. I have still been buying fat quarters. I am aiming to make a quilted jacket, but not decided what piecing pattern yet.

[@runningsewandsew]

I love the way we all find uses for those pieces we don't use xx

[@JaneyJane_sews]

Love the striped knit. But Bay City Rollers did pop into my head. Just showing my age. 😊 Hope you feel better soon.

[@bernadettebyrne3970]

Hope you are feeling better soon.

[@runningsewandsew]

Thank you Bernadette, as the week has gone on I've felt so much better - but there again I'm full of steroids!

[@sweet_pea_green]

Can’t wait to see your Nick’s dress. No doubt you’ll get the stripey wool and angora made into an Amara vest before me 🤔😆. Leon’s was definitely my favourite - there were a couple of fabrics on your walk round I missed, and wouldn’t have minded. We’ll have to go back 😆

[@runningsewandsew]

Can't wait! X

[@angelalysandrou4830]

Hope you feel better soon.Your quilt pattern looks gorgeous, I’m also a quilter, haven’t done much lately as I’ve just got back into dressmaking again. I’m also going to the knitting and stitching show on the Thursday

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh have a wonderful time, I think my knitting and stitching show shopping list is just a few fat quarters! x

[@gingerninja_sews]

Such a lovely vlog Judi thank you😊

[@runningsewandsew]

Glad you enjoyed it. xx

[@janicecoulson5388]

We had a similar project in Skegness years ago, think it was full of paper ends, all sorts of craft stuff. Used to get no end for my Brownie group for free. I miss my sewing club, we sold our house in March, packed everything up. Still in Newark 6 months later, Land Registry problems

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh Janice, I do hope you are sorted soon and you can sort the Land Registry out ... hope you have a really good solicitor xx

[@karenegan2640]

I wish I had known you were coming to Bolton, I’d have loved to meet you, that is my local Abakhan x

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh sorry it was a quiet trip to distract me from the day x

[@debsmith3263]

I hope you start to feel better and a clearer head soon.

[@runningsewandsew]

Thank you, I had a long walk with the dogs and Hannah early this evening and it’s helped a lot. Xx

[@GoingGreenMom]

When you are hand piecing a quilt, where do you stop your line of stitching? Like do you sew edge to edge, or do you sew seam allowance to seam allowance?

[@runningsewandsew]

Great question…. I’ll explain in my next Sunday sews xx

[@christineowen6658]

Have a look at the Attic24 blog by Lucy its crochet blanket heaven. Hope you feel better soon xxx

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh I will - thank you x

[@angeliaharron]

Hi Judy, why not put the large swoon on the back of your quilt? Thanks Angela

[@runningsewandsew]

What a fantastic idea!

[@pollydolly9723]

I think your Nicks dress will be lovely....perfect for this time of year! I think if you were *really* friends with Mr. Morris, you'd refer to him as "Billy". Hahaha!

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh we have to learn about Mr Morris for our room guides in Castle Howard. The ninth countess was part of the Morris community and the house was redecorated by him during his life time ..... its so interesting to have these connections. x

[@helganeufeld230]

Have you seen the Sew Liberated Nest sweatshirt that uses a quilt square?

[@runningsewandsew]

Im adding it to my list of things to check - I seriously do have a note book where I write down suggestions made on my vlog ❤️

[@elizabethevans5931]

Lovely chatty video! I watched with a cup of tea. Could you please type the name of the sewing pattern you are wearing? Cheers!

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh I'm so sorry .... I should have put it in the description box. its the Linden sweatshirt by grainline studio and its a wonderful make xx

[@elizabethevans5931]

Thanks so much!!! I just retired from 30 years of teaching and so don't really need any new clothes, so I too am leaning towards quilting. Is the hand piecing you mentioned by any chance EPP?
