Love the idea of a butterfly on each block! And you do you. Haters gonna hate.

This is so sweet and special! You are really putting a lot of hard work into making this beautiful. You do that with every thing you create, which is why nothing you make is less than spectacular! Hugs ❤️🤗

Enjoyed watching~ I like the ideas of dragonflies, or a tree in the middle with a leaf falling on both sides of different sizes and seasons... I better stop there :-) I was envisioning constellations.... laughing. Your blocks are lovely. Have a wonderful Sunday. Best wishes~ Valerie.

I love the idea of a tree with leaves falling! I will need to make another quilt! 🧵💕🪡

I really like making pin cushions and needle books of all types. So you can never have too many in my estimation. Especially as I am learning the value of better quality needles. I never in the past thought much about it until I started doing more advanced needlework and flowers , and using vintage fabrics. Many times going through various types and layers of fabric, certain needles seem to make a huge difference. Also when using various types of textiles as threads. Some needles are better than others.

[@ritajensen8311]

You are right, good needles make a huge difference!🧵💕🪡

So when these blocks are all done and you attach them together are you joining them all to a large piece backing (as normally done with a traditional quilt)? I'm a bit confused. I love the look of the backs of the blocks you have thus far and it looks like they already have a backing to them.

[@ritajensen8311]

Thanks, Lisa, for your question! I plan to back each block separately and attach them all at the end! 🧵💕🪡

[@lindasnyder5048]

What do you do with the project after your done...if it is big enough do you use it as a throw or quilt.....and if it is small a wall hanging...I made some small ones and want to frame them...

[@ritajensen8311]

I usually create small items using scrap fabric pieces, such as pouches, junk journal covers, and fabric boxes. I hope this gives you some ideas. You can also find more videos of my projects on my slow stitching playlist. Thank you for watching! 🧵💕🪡

[@nonstopmom8185]

Well, I have to say I've never thought that you have too many hand movements. There are some crafters however, that have to waggle their fingers around while they talk. Never understood that.

[@ritajensen8311]

I don't know how to make something with my hands without moving them! 💁‍♀️

[@vaundamacpherson5727]

@@ritajensen8311 Nothing wrong with the movement of your hands, Rita!! I did have trouble seeing what you were doing at the top of your work. Thank-you for changing camera. That did help!
