VLOGMAS Day 12: Fabric MYSTERY Solved!

[@ChristineKrannich]

Misplacing fabrics is why I started a daily sewing log. I include where I put stuff so when I forget later, I have a place to check. A friend who also suffers memory issues suggested it.

[@amberpoynter3303]

That is a fabulous idea!

[@amydement.]

That's so smart!

[@anunmaker]

Bucket list item, huh ? Well, a proper studio space with room for a long-arm, and the long arm, too! Actually, a warehouse where I could have all my crafts and room for a large table or comfy couches and chairs where my friends could gather, would be ideal! And more storage space!

[@gigi3242]

Love the lost/found unfinished/finished quilt top, and I see where the quilt slider unit got its talents from, lol Quilting/Crafting bucket list item: a more ergonomic crafting space that is dedicated to crafting. Have a lovely weekend.

[@amydement.]

Thank you. A custome space designed for you sounds like a great dream item.

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

I’m glad you found it. It’s so frustrating when something gets misplaced. I’m usually not too bad at remembering where I put sewing stuff. My husband is good at tidying up and moving things then denying he’s touched it. I love the colours in the quilt you sewed today. It’s beautiful and bright. I have 3 and any one of them would be amazing. I’d love a long arm but I have two subluxated ribs so I’d need an automated one and that’s a lottery win purchase. I’d really love to go on a quilt retreat. They aren’t really a thing here but I hear friends from across the pond talking about them and I’d really love to go on one. Realistically that’s another lottery win. I’d also love to go to quilt con maybe when I win the lottery I can go on a quilt retreat then go to quilt con and buy my automated long arm there! 😂🤣😂

[@carolyncastino7498]

Of course the fabric was exactly where you put it….knowing you would not forget where you put it! Riiiightttt

[@amydement.]

Riiiight!!!! 😂

[@imogenethomas1138]

AMA Amy, have you considered teaching an online class? Maybe about color, or inspiration for scrap quilts? There are so many things we could learn from you.

[@judymoen674]

On my bucket list is wishful thinking. I would love to be able to see what I am stitching on my long arm,”macular degeneration”. What I do is memory and I have to wait until I’m done to see what I did. I refuse to quit, quilts aren’t as finished as before but finished. Not feeling sorry, feeling grateful I can still see to piece kinda and quilt. Love everything about your videos and inspiration, thank you so so much 😮

[@megfreeth4377]

Everything I use has to first pass the floor test, e it all ends up there at some point.😂 my wish list is a long arm quilter and room to put it in. Ooh how I love dreaming. Good blog x❤

[@MichelleFrazier-ze3xu]

Your are so brave to do all of those thread colors. I typically use a rainbow variegated thread and call it a day, LOL:) Additionally, I have a whole closet full of flimsies (also out of the way of the doggies to prevent dust, etc.), so embarrassing. I like piecing more than quilting (even though I have a longarm) so they just accumulate. Someday I will get them all done....

[@jeandryja6992]

Gotta love it when things hide in plain sight 😅. Dream item is having space for a design wall! The dog has taken to napping on the bed in the guest room and I have always used that bed to lay out quilt blocks.

[@carlaatkins2619]

I love that dream. I have a huge insulated foam board just waiting for a wall to magically appear. I was going to put it in the garage but my new, scaled down abode doesn't have a garage and only one bed room.

[@amydement.]

Great dream

[@DebbieDoesDIY]

I really enjoy your videos and look forward to watching them every day this December. Thank you for being your beautiful, honest and open self! My sewing dream is a BabyLock Sashiko 2 machine. I took the Sashiko daily practice series on Creative bug with Lisa Solomon and have been obsessed with anything Sashiko ever since.

[@barbmckinlay5108]

I taught my little papillon to come running when I yelled cleanup aisle five. She was my little helper. I should have trained her to find missing fabric and yarn. Fun episode Amy. My dream would be for my sewing studio to be magically organized.

[@NemoMeImpuneLacessitNevermore]

Time, space, and the executive function required to keep my sewing room from getting so crazy. 😂 With you on Will Farrell, but I do like Elf!

[@marygersetich8709]

If I can't find something fairly quickly, I usually stop looking for it because it's sure to show up when looking for something else or just general cleaning!

[@amydement.]

That's a good way to look at it! 😂

[@karriesteel6191]

More time.... definitely more time to spend at my craft

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Hey, Amy! This is my attempt to be brief: LOVE your secondary quilt. Need to re-watch your video… hmm…5 Ways to…? Great improv sliding quilt system. Will Ferrell? Nope, not a fan! However, I did finally did watch Elf last year, and I quite liked it. I’ve always enjoyed Bob Newhart’s dry humour. My quilting dream? Yep. exactly what you said. After all, why NOT have lofty aspirations? Oh, yes…and the studio space to cot ai it ALL! And Amy…For me, every one of your videos is ‘like having a friend in the room to talk to’-and to laugh with. 😁 Thank you for that!. Stay well! Snowy-correction-VERY snowy Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@carlaatkins2619]

14:38 Lost Fabrics are a joy when found. I have a pansy print that went missing in June 2023 then I moved in July. So, I found it in a box of old clothing I was saving to make scrapy organization this past September 2024. My dream is to go on a quilting retreat. However I have health issues and never know when I will have to go to the ER/Hospital. Travel is very limited. On the other hand I'd like to get some Handi Quilt rulers for FMQ. 🎶💐💖🫂 From Albq., NM

[@amydement.]

♥️♥️♥️

[@paulaneary7877]

Really really cute quilt at the end there. My quilting bucket list item is to make friends that quilt where I live so I can have some friends that are interested in what I am interested in.

[@amydement.]

I hope you find some great quilting friends!

[@BethNeutze]

It can be so frustrating losing something, but at least you forged ahead and found it after all. At least you're not alone. My quilting dream is two parts: a professional organizer so I'd have a fighting chance to find what I'm looking for and a mobile longarm technician to get my machine working the way it should with no drama. The 2nd wish is the most important.

[@amydement.]

A longarm technician would be amazing to have!

[@debrastephens8476]

I want to thank you for putting your fabric safely away. Now I don't feel so bad when I do that. Lol

[@amydement.]

I'm glad you can relate! 😜♥️

[@MarthaEast]

Yes, I often misplace things and find them later.

[@marygersetich8709]

My dream list item would be more energy!

[@amydement.]

Don’t I know it! If only we didn’t need sleep!

[@carlaatkins2619]

😂❤😂 SAME

[@taniauntalan459]

My bucket list item is a sewing room big enough for my long arm! And a trip to Hamilton, MO! My favorite Christmas movie is Miracle on 34th Street. I don't remember seeing anyone mentioning that one😊

[@livingandcraftingwithms-Alex-]

my dream list includes a long arm with robotics, a new sewing/embroidery machine, either the brand new Brother sewing/ embroidery machine or either the Stelaire or the Luminaire 3 along with new furniture and cabinets and the new Tula pink line

[@amydement.]

That’s an awesome dream list!

[@szelop]

Everything I put up is safe lol! Loved your new quilt top!

[@laurastratton8614]

I want my guest room turned into a sewing room and my current room (also the laundry room) made into a room with built in shelves and closets. Then I want a true sewing table for my machines so my shoulders aren't hiked up around my ears while I'm trying to learn to use a ruler foot. But we still need the guest room. Mostly I wish my long-arm person wasn't 6 hours away. She's my daughter and best friend.❤💜

[@amydement.]

Aww. Distance is difficult indeed!

[@laurastratton8614]

[@fransak2723]

Hello Beautiful! I’ve been enjoying these videos showing your day in “real” time as opposed to just sitting in front of the camera. I spent my day at the longarm with a good bit of frustration. I’ve only had it for a couple of years and I don’t love doing it. My dream would be to sell it and pay someone else to do it for me.

[@marysejkora9405]

My dream is a sewing studio big enough for my family of quilters with a place for cutting table(s), sewing machines, long arm, huge design board, and a dedicated space for my Accuquilt. Oh, and lots of shelving for fabric ‘cuz I already have a lot of that 🙂

[@coreygilles847]

I would love to go to a quilting retreat...perhaps by the ocean. But I am disabled with a lot of allergies and the thought of figuring out what I would eat and such for even a few days away from my normal haunts feels too overwhelming

[@bettylarks8134]

My quilter's dream would be to have a longarmer live very close to me and be reasonably priced so I could get all of my tops finished and not break the bank.

[@jenniferkihano486]

My dream is to have my sewing room completely organized and all my UFO's finished!

[@nancybailey1635]

My dream is a finished basement to house my stash, sewing/cutting tables, my Longarm and boat loads of storage, for my boat loads of fabric.

[@patriciamccoppin6852]

I ve misplaced patterns before. It’s very frustrating. On my bucket list would be more time. I would like to devote more time to practice free motion quilting on my longarm. I don’t have robotics on my machine. I also would like more time to use my embroidery machine. I have all these things I want to do. I need more time. My ask you anything is when you have limited time what part of quilting do you choose? Example sorting fabric, designing a quilt, cutting fabric, piecing blocks quilting the quilt or binding. My favorite part is making the blocks. I like making the individual blocks the most. Making backing for the quilt is my least favorite thing.

[@SuseMck994]

Automated longarm ..... but it wouldn't fit in my house currently. Imma gonna need a family member to move out first - if i start saving my coins, they might happen at the same time in 2045 😂😂

[@jillhenige761]

Love how you keep everything real. My dream right now is to have a long arm. Hope that can happen in the next year.

[@paulaneary7877]

HAHA! I haven't been able to find my orange handled scissors that I have used for the past 10 plus years for about a week now. Kind of freaks me out, since I live in about 400 square feet, mobile home. My sewing room is my bedroom and kitchen. Where the heck are my scissors? I looked for the first two days, then my mom lent me her scissors so I could continue working on holiday gifts, thank God for my mom! HaHa!

[@amydement.]

That is a real mystery - I hope you find them

[@lolagonzales1285]

More time would be amazing.

[@annmarieturk2959]

Love the quilt top!!!

[@amydement.]

Thank you

[@cherylbrown4058]

I’m not a Will Ferrell fan…however, I love Elf. My dream would be organization of my fabric to make it more accessible and user friendly.

[@MichelleFrazier-ze3xu]

For AMA: I want a go-through of all of your lipsticks (pictures) and what they are!!!!

[@lynnmcentire4014]

I also misplaced a quilt top for several days before finding it in the project box it used to be in. Why I put it back 🤷‍♀️My quilter’s dream would be a long arm

[@dpapple2884]

What did you use to stuff your pin? It looks like a good gift idea

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

My dream would be to have a clean cutting table.

[@jeannehoffman1060]

Embroidery machine!

[@katf009]

I’d like a much bigger space so that i could have quilting friends over to visit. My current space is barely big enough for me.

[@cherylpalian3254]

This sounds like the story of my life. It happens to me all the time.

[@kimberlykring2475]

[@LauraSup]

I was hoping Santa would bring a digitized longarm this year and plans were moving forward to make it happen. Unfortunately, I tripped or fell over on of our 6 dogs on Tuesday night. I didn’t go to the ER until Wednesday morning. Today, an MRI confirmed that I crushed my L1 vertebrae and fractured my L5. I’m waiting to hear from the spinal surgeon. There’s definitely a procedure/surgery in my near future! I guess it’s one way to slow down!

[@jeandryja6992]

Ouch sending healing thoughts your way.

[@amydement.]

Oh no!!! I hope all is on the mend soon!
