Aw! The little ugly duckling fabric square doesn’t want to be left out. She becomes a beautiful swan when surrounded by others.😍🤗🙏

[@suehorn4182]

I have been watching you for years. I love the simplicity of your blocks, the calming music. So many channels are so regimented with their cutting, starching etc. I can watch your videos and just admire your work and relax. Thank you for sharing.

[@bethshibleyquilts]

Wow, thank you!

[@donnakatz7100]

Love when I come across an older video😊❤. So fun spending time with all of you! Thanks for sharing 😘🫠🥰

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Good Afternoon, Beth, I really enjoyed your video today and I found the music relaxing as you were sewing. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful time on your camp out. 🥰❤️🥰 Chris

[@yvonnephillips4680]

I really like four patch blocks and your on point version is lovely. Any "ugly fabric" is certainly well hidden. ❤🇭🇲

[@131dyana]

You are truly blessed to travel so well. thanks for the idea.

[@karena.2416]

How blessed you are to be able to travel and quilt. It is a pretty, cheerful quilt!❤

[@karenbackus1531]

We used to camp in our RV. Once I took a bunch of cut pieces to make charity quilts while we were on a long trip. I tried to think of everything I needed from sewing machine to thread. Just one thing missing: the power cord! After trying to buy one to no avail, my husband bought me a new machine. He was a great guy and so supportive. Loved your video!

[@bethshibleyquilts]

My husband would do the same!😊

[@monarashed8906]

Beth, it's not only your sewing is beautiful, not only your ideas are beautiful; your soul is so beautiful too 😍🤩

[@lindafitzsimmons2526]

Thank you for letting us tag along on your get-away! I love traveling, Airstreams & Featherweights and with you, your relaxing music and what I’m sure, will be a beautiful quilt it was a perfect coffee & me morning. Looking forward to seeing the finished project once you’ve rescued your “not so pretty” fabrics into your “Ugly Fabric Make-Over Quilt!!”😊❤

[@lisasnyder2811]

Absolutely beautiful. I love scrappy quilts that is what my grandmother taught me

[@suehorn4182]

I love your music…..very relaxing while watching you sew. Those ugly squares turned into a beautiful quilt. ❤

[@Loridye3605]

That quilt is so pretty. I love scrappy quilts. Thanks for scaring with is Beth!❤😄

[@juliemorrison4348]

A great scrap quilt Beth. Have fun on your trip.♥️🇦🇺

[@amandastratton8242]

That is going to be an awesome quilt Beth, all those not so liked fabrics are pairing well with each other Thank you for showing what you do sometimes on your trips xx

[@rfinnie1]

Beautiful way to use your scraps. Thank you for sharing this block with us!😊

[@tinacassese2882]

Beth, I really think the background colors make this "ugly material" quilt pop. It always amazes me how you can use your scraps in simple but elegant quilts. I've been using my scraps for crib sized quilts, place mats, and runners for our church bazaar next summer. I appreciate all the ideas you're not giving me.

[@annsimmons3367]

Now that is the kind of vacation I would love!

[@selinab8532]

love the patchwork, a very pretty quilt thanx for sharing

[@lindsayjones4147]

Thanks! Beth, you help me stay in today! Your calming demeanor and sewing gift. Sending prayers for you and your family. Blessings, peace and comfort! Lindsay Jones

[@bethshibleyquilts]

Thank you so much for your encouragement and support!❤️

[@irenecarrizales6590]

Such a calming tutorial to watch! Loved every minute of it. You’ve inspired me AGAIN! Thank you.

[@scottydog6539]

Really nice air stream get-away. Love your tiny machine.

[@kathycarroll7885]

Thank you! I love watching how you combine fabrics. That is so cute!

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Beth! What fun to get to see all those Airstreams all in one place!! Looks like a beautiful day! I've been told many times "it's YOUR quilt, do what you want!" as far as adding the flannel 😊😊 Many years ago in Guild, we did an "Ugly Betty" fabric swap. At the time I didn't have all the fabrics I do now & I looked at them & couldn't really find an "ugly" fabric, so I just picked one to exchange. We had to put a certain size piece in a brown paper sack, exchange them & make something with the fabric we were given. Allowing us obviously to add to it. It was quite fun & I got a really cute little wall hanging back with what I put in my sack. Watching you & Pat Sloan, I have a little tub of 2 1/2" squares. I was going to do a checkerboard-type block like Pat does, but I like your idea as well & could cut up lots of my 2 1/2" strips to use, also. 😊😊

[@bjworksit1174]

Small but mighty neat sewing space. Great take along project.

[@shirleycramer5561]

Thank you Beth for another winning tutorial. I so enjoy your channel. ❤️

[@pamlacey136]

I am not a camper but I love your Airstream! That along with your Featherweight and your cozy sewing corner are the perfect setup. This is going to be such a cute quilt. A square in a square is one of my favorite blocks so it looks so good. Happy quilting and camping………………..

[@juliatepe5760]

Another block I must try. I am "camped out" in my sewing room on this rainy day😊

[@cornucopiafoundationmediak2834]

What fun! Thank you for taking us along with you on your trip 😊

[@paularodery8074]

Very relaxing music. You are a true quilter, taking supplies with you😅. Very enjoyable video.

[@bethshibleyquilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@marionbartley214]

Hello Beth, cute little blocks, thanks for sharing.

[@denisepineda1788]

This shows what you can do with a simple 4 patch. I really like the denim and yellow that you sewed to each side of the 4 patches. It really unifies this scrappy quilt. You are right, it is an easy way to hide an ugly fabric!! I will have to remember that.

[@susanbaker8023]

That looks like a fun time. Plus sewing time, what could be better. You know the old saying about ugly fabric. If it is still ugly, you haven't cut it small enough.😅 Looks like you accomplished that. Very nice. Enjoy yourself.

[@michele.the.quilter6174]

The blocks look beautiful together!

[@bevtam.9429]

Thank you for sharing your holiday project. Really loved the colours in the blocks. xx

[@judithburke1539]

I hope you you are having fun with your Airstream friends. It looks warmer there than here in Oregon. It was 31 degrees Fahrenheit the last 2 last nights! Burrrrr 🥶😯

[@bethshibleyquilts]

It’s been pretty windy and chilly… but not too bad👍

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Putting any block on point not only dresses it up, but allows one to get more quilt real estate without much more effort!. And using these triangles to frame provides a lovely neutral space for the eye.

[@nanny09adam]

I had an 34 foot airstream years ago. It was before I was quilting. I made many friends along the way. My favorite trip was the international rally in Hershey PA. Enjoy your travels and quilting

[@bethshibleyquilts]

That sounds fun!

[@lorihermann2063]

I am enjoying seeing all those Airstreams together, and your small Sewing area!!

[@lowannapersinger8436]

I love it !!! You are amazing!!!!

[@cherylbrown4058]

Your framing colors definitely tame down those uglies! Great quilt! There is something so satisfying to just sew four patches. I always have a small basket of squares close to my machine.

[@sharelynnbell6718]

The sewing machine you are using is just like the one my mom had and I learned to sew on

[@helenwilliams7112]

Thanks for this wonderful idea for scraps! I love the idea of a binding drawer! I bet I have enough binding leftover to start one 😉! Loved that you put this on point! The yellow & blue coordinate with the other fabrics too!

[@elsieelm2763]

My favorite scrap quilts. 😊

[@bettiebrown2409]

Its looks like you all is having fun besides Sawing ❤❤😅😊

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Lovely project Beth XxX

[@kimworkman2425]

The blocks look really nice

[@SaraGarcia-fe5sv]

Thank you for sharing your great idea what we can do with those fabrics we a not so fond of.😃 wonderful to take with on a RV trip 👍

[@wilycat5290]

The ugly ones mix and mingle with the pretty ones. It all works. I always love your quilting contributions. Have fun on your Airstream trip....the area looks nice 😊

[@rosinyberg8747]

GREAT lesson!!! Love that quilt

[@fayeglin835]

Looks fabulous

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

I have that exact same print of the pink and brown! I think it’s ugly also! Haha! Great idea on what to do with it.

How cool, love the airstream

Love the ugly quilt blocks…love how you set them on point! Enjoy your trip!

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Love this style of scrappy quilt. I've been cutting and saving 2.5" squares for a project like this one 😍 Also it was great to see all those airstreams - something I only usually see in American films 😁

[@Catnip170]

Just came across your channel and love this video of your ugly fabrics. Your peaceful video was just what I needed to start off my day and give me some ideas of what to do with some of my fabrics. Thank you for sharing this.❤️🧵 💭

[@gigi2fun]

What a fabulous idea!! Thanks for sharing!!! Enjoy your travels!!!

[@itsmelaura1533]

I hope you had a great time on your vacation! I do like the blue and yellow fabrics to beautify the "uglies"!!

[@carmenbailey1560]

A good way to add some pizzazz to a four patch. I personally just sewed a fair amount of them, so I’ll have to keep it in mind using square in a square. Thanks Beth for sharing. 👍❤️😊

[@blairseibert1778]

I love Airstreams!! Thank you for sharing your sewing and Airstream journey

[@lyndaslocum7404]

Cute sewing machine. Have 2 baby nephews due.

[@pattweimer9268]

Since I am "scrapy", challenged, I can only be amazed by your ability to use/put together/ even own some of these fabrics. Totally congrats on that skill. I have brain glitches even with very carefully planned "scrap" quilts. I can buy multiple fabrics and come up with a plan & a pattern as I'm buying it all. Scraps are my "Waterloo"???!!! Love your skills, so enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@bethshibleyquilts]

Thank you so much!

[@dianneeverett1633]

Nice calming video. I've never seen inside an Airstream but understand they are quite nice. Really cool having so many like minded people together. Your blocks are great.

[@apiecemaker1163]

I just made a strip quilt from 6$ ugly thrift store fabric. I washed it and cut it in strips. It ended up making the prettiest scrappy quilt. Such a nice way to quilt and not think. Very relaxing to not have to worry about matching and perfect piecing. Hope you had lots of fun on your getaway.

[@lindalosier5989]

Love it!!

[@debbieouterbridge6707]

Yet another gorgeous quilt Beth even with your "ugly" fabrics, they always turn out lovely

[@HelenWells-ny2sz]

I absolutely love this! I love that you are using flannel. Such a cozy quilt.

[@norahmcphee4928]

Good evening Beth,, I love when you take us with you in your campervan, because it reminds me so much of my own trips in our homemade caravanette that my dad made out of an old Ford Transit van. The big Airstreamers are beautiful machines and haven't changed that much since they came out, but wow do you have space in them. Sorry, i'm totally off topic but my dad was car mechanic and i adored him and loved getting in amongst the various vehicles he sorted. I love the old models of vehicles just like he did and find beauty in them, so thank you for sharing your holiday snaps with us. This quilt top is just perfect for something to do while you're away and with your wee portable old sewing machine, it's ideal and doesn't take up much room. How does your daughter enjoy being away in the camper? or is this down time for you to recharge your batteries once more, because i can totally understand that. I have an Autistic son and grandson who gets no help from anyone, so i can totally see the recharging of our own batteries as a necessity just to be able to cope with home life. My son is getting better bit by bit, but my little grandson is 8 and is mute and gets so frustrated because we can't understand what he is trying to say, but onwards and upwards, eh. I asked him on Thursday what was the matter and he said "matter" back, crikey you would have thought i had won the lottery. People will think, so what, he said matter, but it is an enormous boost when we can get him to say even one word. I hope that you have a lovely time away flower and enjoy meeting up with your Airstream friends. Sending crafty hugs, Norah, Glenochil, Central Scotland

[@carolentringer8836]

Blessings to you and I am celebrating with you over your grandson’s word. The love of a mother and grandmother is inspiring and a gift ,

[@susanmei9980]

Hello, it’s so encouraging that your grandson said a word! 🎉 I hv no experience with autistic kids, but as I was reading what you wrote, it brought my mind a friend who taught her infants baby sign language before they were able to speak. The children were able to sign whether they were hungry or thirsty or tired or needed a hug or whatever it was. And you know those children learned to read adult level reading material before they ever entered kindergarten because their language center developed by using the sign language. Isn’t that interesting? I wonder if something like that might help an autistic person who is mute to learn to communicate better? If so it might eliminate some of the frustration, and also gradually help them with their speech. Just an idea from someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. 😃 🌷

[@norahmcphee4928]

Many thanks Susan for reaching out to me with your incisive words because i too have thought about children like Harry being taught sign language. I learned basic sign language many decades ago and really need to take a refresher course. Your friend had a good brain on her to teach her children this very useful tool, but it also gives her children another ability to their arsenal of talents for later in life. Harry could speak really well until suddenly he stopped for no apparent reason when changed to a different room at the Nursery that he went to. The amount of staff was less and the lass that was in charge of that room, Harry just screamed any time he was taken back there. Now i had an autistic (if he had been tested), son (who was double jabbed with the MMR vaccine), and now Harry, who had nothing wrong for the first 3 years. Do you just suddenly become autistic overnight? i don't think so unless there has been catalyst to bring it about, but my son and grandson were definitely not born Autistic. THank you flower for taking your time to write to me and show caring, i very much appreciate it. Norah, Glenochil, Central Scotland

Your airstream look amazing. I don’t think we have those In the uk. I can’t see any ugly patches they all look lovely jumbled up together. another lovely quilt top Beth . Enjoy your trip away.

[@kittycat1234455]

For ironing you might want to get a wool pressing mat. They are sturdy and come in various sizes. They have them with one side for pressing and the other for cutting.

You’re braver than me Beth 😉 I would resort to my “ safety blanket” of freezer paper for those diagonal triangles.

[@susanmei9980]

I’ve heard it said that if a fabric is still ugly, you hvnt cut it small enough! Lol 😂 Your quilt is gorgeous!🌷

[@julliesimmelink4701]

great idea! always looking for a simple travel project!

[@NannaLiz]

Well, that's just as cute as can be. You should see the ugly quilt I'm working on. Yuck. I bought a jelly roll that looked so pretty, but when it was unrolled, the strips were dull and I couldn't tell if it would be for a boy or a girl. To top that off, I'm making a bear paw pattern with scads of triangles, another ugh. Then! I sewed the paws the wrong way and had to pick out and do over. What a mess. I need an Airstream vacation! What does your husband do while you're sewing? Yeah, nosy question. Thanks and have a fun time!

[@bethshibleyquilts]

My husband did a bit of work and took our daughter to play some basketball 🙂

get you one of those little wool ironing pads you can get one that is about 5x7 And they are fantastic!
