Since I have just recently found you, I am binge watching some of your older videos. Love your charity shop finds and that you make a back story for the UFOs. I love scrappy quilts too. Although I am not into EPP yet, I do have a Lucy Boston book and love her quilts. Today while watching from California, I am busy working on a crazy patch block. Love hearing of your projects. Will start my Temperature Quilt soon.

I really have enjoyed watching your videos on your arts and crafts that you do. It’s amazing how many different things you enjoy working on. I don’t do so many different types of projects that require different kinds of stitching. I just do quilting and cross stitching and embroidering. But it was really lovely. I might suggest to you though it’s nice that you give everything away that you do because you are a very person I can tell. But you might want to consider saving a few of them for yourself. Because after, you give everything away, you will have a lot of nothing except memories and hopefully pictures that you take while you have to look around at in the early mornings when you get up and look around at your walls in your house. You’re young and just starting out and I didn’t start saving a whole lot until I was in my mid or late 30s I took a lot of things away. But then I started doing it for myself and today I can tell you I enjoyed walking around every day looking at where my life has been because each thing I make has a memory that goes with it that’s what makes them so special and I don’t have them. I have a memory and I put them in the memory book. Those are my memories. You have lovely things that you and I enjoy watching your video a lot and I share it with other people. I think they like it too at least they indicate to me they do.

Rachel, I just found you today. I have watched several of your KZfaq videos. I like them all the same. Wish I could say I liked one better than the other but I can’t because they’re all just really good. I hope to resume watching them again later on this afternoon. All of your projects are just lovely. I love the colors I love the fabrics. I love the Crosstitch and the stitching on the mat with the flowers and the roosters. They’re all just lovely. I’ve done those kind of projects in the past many years ago and I think you’re inspiring me to try it again The quilt or should I say the Afghan you made is just lovely working on your quilt that you purchased repairing it is just really lovely. You will be very happy when it’s finished and you have it displayed in your home. I’ve been doing these things for a mini mini mini years and every morning I get up I come walking through my house and I see all the things I’ve made over the years. You will feel the same way years to come. What’s nice about it is you can see where your time has gone and what you’re doing with your life. Your life is young still and you’re starting out young like I did but when you get older much older, you will remember me telling you, how you will feel when you get up every morning and you come walking through your home and seeing all the things you did with your life. It’s very very lovely everything you’ve done.

Lovely projects ! Ive been doing a review of EPP , looking for a project with hexis and diamond path! I bought an old project with pieced hexagons completed My thought was to make a small row quilt , separating the hexis with a diamond path. Ive only done some EPP in a class and I want to make some patterns with salvaged vintage fabrics I've thrifted . The premade shapes are pricey now, so I plan on using freezer paper to trace a template on then put in my copier to run off enough to finish 😉 It will be interesting to see how others have designed them and bordered ! 🎉

@annettegraff8323 2 ай бұрын

Ps I cut the shapes out of freezer paper then iron on back of fabric Its removable as you proceed. It's great for needle turn appliques as well or machine embroidery!

Lastly, as a tip for anyone reading this, I make my own paper pieces. I invested in a couple of different sized hexi paper cutters. Fiskar makes them. I use index cards. I can make a lot of them in no time at all. The tool is a great investment in the long run. 😉💕

@stitchwithrachel Жыл бұрын

Glad you have found my channel and have found some inspiration. When quilting EPP you should avoid "stitching in the ditch" instead quilt at least quarter inch away from the seams. Either hand or machine quilt. Have you watched The Last Homely House? As she has many epp videos. Also recommend a Facebook group called "English Paper Piecing" lots of advice and inspiration there.

Hello and welcome to my channel! I think you'll really enjoy EPP if you like other slow crafts too. Quilters cotton is of course ideal but I just started with any cottons I could get my hands on, poly cottons, old clothes, bed sheets. It all works the same way xx

My question is: can you change the colour in one "cross" or am I obliged to follow the colour and where they place them??

@stitchwithrachel Жыл бұрын

Hi Claudette, I am sorry to hear about your husband. You are not alone for having multiple projects on the go! Yeah I switched the colours around, especially if you've built up a few boxes. However only swap for the same around of fabric so you don't leave yourself short. I changed mine as some blocks had 2 sets of blues so I changed it around.
