TEMPERATURE QUILT PREP | Cutting Fabrics and Organising

[@elizabethlampi7667]

Great tips on getting ready. I have to admit I really like each of my projects to have a separate basket/tote box so I can grab what I want to work on, having everything in that one space, and have a play. Thank you fir sharing your process 🫶🏼

I have never heard of a "Temperature Quilt" but I find it fascinating! I can't wait to see just how this quilt goes together. You are adorable!😊 Leslie from California, USA

Hello Rachel, Thank you for sharing this video showing how you are organizing your temperature quilt project. I can't wait to see your progress. ❤😊

[@maryt2887]

Rachel, I don’t think you planned the video to show you in front of the Christmas tree, but I have to tell you that you look like an angel with a beautiful golden halo around your head and shoulders. 😇

[@stitchwithrachel]

Oh thank you! I just thought I'd film by the Christmas tree because it gives nice lighting but I'm an angel now 😇😇💖💖

I started a temp quilt in 2023 but got side tracked so I will try and sew along with you🙏 I’m in Texas so our temps are all over the place. Looking forward to everyone’s progress

[@angelacornell4241]

I’m in Mississippi and we have similar variance - 10-104 last year 😅 - but if want to join on the crazy journey I’m right there with you!

[@treyshields7848]

I’m excited to get started!

I save my old rotary blades for paper projects or for cutting template plastic, etc. Some quilters have a separate handle for their paper blades, but since it only takes a minute, I change mine out every time. I have a green ribbon for fabric and red ribbon for paper that I tie on the handle as a quick reference. The ribbon is small and fits in the plastic blade holder 10:17 with the matching blade... I've taken a fine sharpie and written "paper" on the red ribbon. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@stitchwithrachel]

That's a very good idea! I often wish I had a rotary cutter for papers so I'll definitely do this ❤️

[@suzisaintjames]

@@stitchwithrachel , my old blade had a nick in it, after my sister borrowed it. She bought me a new one, but I kept the old for paper projects and I've used it so much that I've worked the nick right out. Yes, there was a skip for a while, but it's gone now. If you go through a lot of blades, there's gizmos that will sharpen a dull blade, but do nothing for nicks. 💖🌞🌵😷

January 25 2024 Maryland USA: Just popping in and found your channel. I have heard of the temperature blanket that is crochet and was beginning to get on board with it. However, I love how a material temperature quilt is such a heirloom piece. I am ready to get in gear watching this video and get on with this make. Great ideas with the storage containers.

[@VJG123]

Hello from across the pond! I enjoyed your video. I've often thought about making a temperature quilt. I look forward to watching your progress.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Thanks for watching! I'll be sure to share updates x

[@ceasewatercolorarts]

I live in Florida. I should make a humidity quilt. LOL

[@stitchwithrachel]

Yes!!

[@TrueBlueQuilts]

I am soooo tempted to make a temperature quilt BUT I have too many half-done projects to work on instead. Your fabrics are lovely 💙🎉💙

[@stitchwithrachel]

We don't mention half completed projects around here 🤣🤣 I have too many too but it's my aim for this year.. just small amounts on outstanding quilts each day.

[@whatmandymadenext8120]

Those fabrics ❤your very organised 😊be interesting to see your sisters as well 😊

[@stitchwithrachel]

Thank you! I've roped her into giving some updates on her quilt periodically xx

[@joyphillips3069]

I put an X on the top of the plastic container with a marker for the old blades and needles

[@1000scarves]

Thank you so much for this, I really needed a guide on what I should do to get ready for the quilt start. I'm really excited for this quilt-along! 🧵🪡

[@pennyballard8615]

Thanks for another great video Rachel, I'm going to buy a couple of boxes, what a great idea. I have taken my temperature readings back to June 2023 so that I can complete my Sofa Throw, (I'm not doing a quilt as such), before I go back to the UK for my summer holidays, then I can buy my backing and wadding. Thanks again for some great ideas, can't wait to see you get started. Happy sewing and Happy New Year.

[@orapronobis2149]

Just a tip if the circles when cut is a bit jagged then take an emory board that you use for your finger nails and just rub gently.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Ooih excellent tip... thank you ❤️

[@jacquelineknox1977]

Thank you Rachel for all the preparation ideas. I need to go out and get myself a box and some individual bags I think. Not long to go now!! xx

[@stitchwithrachel]

It'll come around so quickly xx

[@marshaadams6196]

Hi Rachel, I hope you are feeling better!

[@stitchwithrachel]

I am!.. and in time for Christmas too. Thank you ❤️💖

[@vbabs_hb1666]

Hi Rachel! I love your videos on Tik Tok. I requested to join the Temp Quilt a long. Hopefully I will be accepted! you have inspired me to hand sew... 🥰

[@stitchwithrachel]

I'm glad you are enjoying my videos, I'll have a look at the Facebook requests shortly and providing you answered the entry questions you will be accepted

[@UniquelyPenny]

Love that your sister is doing quilt as you go block. I was going to do flying geese but can’t get template so might switch to that. How is she representing high/low? Two blocks per day or doing half the block one and half the block the other?

[@stitchwithrachel]

Thank you.. because she's doing a quilt as you go block, she has 2 fabrics for each block, so the middle fabric is the high and the outside fabric is the low temp. It's a super good way of doing it, I'll share photos once she's started xx

[@jennybaker5713]

I need to catch up. I am doing one like Rachel's sister. Do you think I can machine quilt/join my squares now and then hand sew later?

[@lindaabuhasou2635]

Tx 4 video. What is a temperature quilt

[@MT_Country_Gal]

I have my first one done!! Is there a # to use on FB to share our progress?

[@stitchwithrachel]

Yeah you can use #ourtempquilt24 on fb and ig to share your progress xx

[@cathybausch7502]

What's your preferred needle for needle turn applique?

[@stitchwithrachel]

I like a milliners needle, a size 10 for needleturn as I like it a little thicker to help move the fabric

[@deliaholliday5280]

Hi Rachel do you have a embroidery shop looking for ladies swear shirt with flowers on it

[@stitchwithrachel]

Hello, I do yes but I mainly do children's personalised items x

[@rosywilson3076]

Sorry, but the twinkling lights behind you are really distracting 🙁

[@artycraftyhealing1646]

Each to their own …. I love it find it inspiring… we are an odd bunch on this planet 😂
