Dear, sweet Joy - if I lived closer, I would come over and give you a big hug. Watching you going through all the struggles of owning an RV has pretty much convinced me that I should never ever consider getting one.. ( But the thought is so romantic - heading out on the open road, with adventure ahead, and your own bed at the end of every day). Thank you so very much for sharing your life with us. I'm so glad that I "know you"!

Joy, I hope your stress level drops soon for your health. I’m sending hugs to you and Jerry!❤

My goodness, Joy. I laughed so hard when you described how you attached your little quilt to the ceiling. That's one reason I love watching your videos. You could be a standup comedienne.

I love how you don't keep your anger/frustration bottled in, but after you have your (deserved) rant, you're back to your funny, laughing self again!!! Your videos are so much fun to watch! 🤣🥰😉

Wow! What a week you had!! I have heard other people complain about RV’s. There nice when your traveling with no problems but they always have problems!! Thank goodness for sewing, it is such good therapy!!

I love that idea of making a quilted bag out of that beautiful beautiful fabric quilt sample.

The "Little Quilt" looks very nice! You are correct! The little quilt "looks lonely" up there! You need to "make it some FRIENDS" to hang up there, as well! 🥰

If you want to hang your white board, use the 3M Command mounting strips. Work wonderfully and no holes in the wall.

Hi Joy! Sorry you've had the run around on your RV. Feels so good to be home....I know the feeling! I understand how Jerry enjoys his RV. My Mom sure enjoyed hers...now she's in Heaven. So nice to see everything you show. Very nice! I'm sure hoping to get back to sewing some new clothes soon! Sometimes it gets overwhelming. 😂 I'm finally getting the little things done around the house that I keep putting off.😊 It's always something!❤ Prayers for you and Jerry!

My best friend in elementary school had a metal red/black plaid lunch box that had the matching thermos. I loved it and was so jealous. My best friend’s name was Susan Guess. She had three older sisters, I had three brothers. I’m 67, funny how you remember those things.

Ohhhhhhh, I'm so fabric-jealous. COCOA BLUE FROM EDYTA!!! Yes, all her lines go together!! I love her fabrics!!! Enjoy.

The first batik you showed (darker blue) is absolutely gorgeous!! I also think your little quilts are going to look great on your sloped ceiling. Plus, I like all of your new patterns. So there!! We also have an RV, I decided we had a lemon 1 day after we took it out the first time. We took it back under warranty, and got NO results, so my husband is now the chief RV fixer now. You're not alone.

I have been watching you for 6 years! I watched before I figured out that subscribing was a good idea!.I remember you saying you like to know what other youtubers we watch. I stumbled onto a new one for me a few days ago, I think you will enjoy her channel. Marnae's Country Farmhouse....I watched a sewing video of hers. I was wondering about her....I watched her first video. She is an amputee that can sew, cook etc. Very interesting! She is amazing! Look her up if you want...I will definitely continue watching you!! See you soon I hope!

Omgosh, sorry about the RV problems. And that hospital stay sounds awful. Bad nurses can make a stay so much worse! NewLook are my favorite patterns. I have some of the ones you bought. I love your videos, I always enjoy having a cup of coffee and watching you. PS great idea to make that zipper pouch with that quilt piece!

I’m not usually drawn to orange and tan, but your Trip Around the World is very nice…maybe because it’s small and a dense color pattern. Dont give up on it!

So sorry for your frustration, but the RV makes you and Jerry so happy- keep it! I love hearing and seeing your travels, too... So great to see you, Joy- thanks for checking in with us! Love to Jerry, also!

Good to see you Joy. Love the fabric and patters you bought. Glad you are home and Jerry is doing well. Have a good evening today and a blessed Sunday tomorrow

The little quilts would look cute on the door right below it

I love that border on the Trip Around the World. Sorry to hear about your RV troubles. Nice fabrics!

Joy, I absolutely love your sewing/quilting/crafting rooms! They’re so light, bright and welcoming.

I thought it was Friday half the day and my husband said no today is Saturday. 😂 So sorry for your troubles about the RV

That little quilt on the ceiling is cute, Joy!

Oh Joy, you are such a hoot! When I watch your videos I am so tickled and so inspired when the video is over I get up, start laundry, vacuum, mop, do laundry and work in my sewing, quilting room. My sister asked me if I have ever bought the same fabric more than once because I forgot I had it! Ha, ha! When have I not! Keep making these videos please.

Friends of mine had a RV that was so bad they traded in for a new one after just 1.5 years. In the shop more than they used it. The new one seems better.

That quilt is beautiful!!! It looks so difficult.

I had the red plaid lunch box too

So sorry you have to deal with so many problems with your rv. So frustrating. How is Billy doing since she lost her husband. She is so sweet. Is she ever going to come for a visit with you? I would love to see you two together. Thank you for all you do Joy. God Bless you and your hubby. You are so talented to be able to do so many things.

I admire you learning all that software stuff. Makes me want to stick to my Janome free motion foot.

Joy. You did a great job buy fabric. I love batik fabric. Love to hear from you. Have a great week with your sewing

I am so sorry about your Motor Home. I love your chanel.

Joy ,Your Wonderful no matter what!! Brad Martin on youtube has a great video on edge to edge quilting on the Babylock invision he showes some tricks that are great and make a world of difference. Have fun!!

Hi Joy! What a joy for me to see you again! I felt the need to comment and let you know that today I remembered you and the RV and wondering if you guys went in any trips lately as I haven't watched y-tubes for some time. I came back from my walk just to see y-tube recommended me to watch your video. I am sorry for your experience knowing how excited you both where with that RV! I hope your get the whatever problem it has ( the RV, I mean) fixed and forget all the mess! I am sorry to hear about Jerry being taken to the hospital! I think they have reduced both the quality of the services and the resources in those hospitals. May God keep us healthy because He is the only One who does the healing and we cannot put our trust in anything these days. I like your choice of fabric. I lost interest for sewing (as I lost interest for cooking and doing anything for the past three years) since there is nowhere to go and wear the clothing anymore. I am glad you are so energetic still . Kisses!

Your quilt on your ceiling is really pretty! Don't worry that it's small. Little by little one goes far, as the saying says. Just keep adding little quilts until the whole ceiling space is filled.

Joy, you are too adorable! We just sold our RV after living full-time in it for almost 9 years. It was a headache to get things fixed in it. We travel from Oregon to Indiana. One time to get out window fixed and our door. I'm so sorry you had a rough time... And I truly understand. My husband was upset a little when I said. I didn't want to travel anymore, but there's a season for everything, isn't there? I hope the. cardiologist appointment went well. I'm a retired nurse and I worked in cardiology and as an open heart nurse. I left that area, went into teaching and became a research nurse. And that's when I retired.😅

That small quilt is lovely, combination of colours is good choice, ditto for the top and wide leg pants

Love all the fabric you bought. Have a great weekend. Bless you & hubby.

Box your corners on the bag. Will be adorable. So easy to do.

Yes! Would love to watch- and sew along-as you make those pants! I hate that the RV repair is such a stressor. The tiny quilt is lovely. See you soon!

Looks like a nice placemat!

That is pretty how you did that very fall color

I was at JoAnn's a few weeks ago and my receipt also said "Suspended"!! Like you, I thought I had been suspended! I asked the clerk what it meant and she had no idea. I'm so sorry you're having so much trouble with the RV center. It seems you love your RV, not so much the RV center.

Love your black top and your little quilt on the ceiling. I have similar problems here........what a crazy world !!!!

Lovely fabrics!

It’s beautiful!

Fabric Haul 😊

I was a redhead. Love oranges and yellows and avocados. Now my hair is gray!! Those colors look awful on me now

🙏🤩 Enjoyed this vid - thx, Joy. Sorry about the RV troubles. Seems that place, & the RV industry in general, need to get their act together. Glad you got to hang out on Zoom w/ Philly. Beautiful fabrics, little quilts are cute & nice to see the close ups on the patterns. I’m only a quilter - but when you show us I enjoy sewing clothing vicariously through you. 😅 Looking fwd to what you come up w/ for future vids. I enjoy them all. Best to you & Jerry.

I would love to see you sew that stash. It looks like a beautiful art project now.

The little quilt is so cute! I watched Whitney, TomKat Stitchery, video on 10 patterns for sewing with quilting cotton. Excellent video.

Hate you had such a horrible time at the RV place. In reference to that, your construction worker, and that nurse, no one wants to work or give quality customer service anymore. People just don’t care. I don’t understand it. Glad for safe travels home. Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend. God bless. 😀❤️

I would like to sew along with you again that was fun

I have a great time with my embroidery machine with my quilting edge to edge keep smiling because I can quilt so far small thing’s using my 8.7 sq hoop.

Hi Joy. When you sew with your BSR, you can't set the stitch length because the feed dogs should be down. The length of your stitches is dictated by the speed that you move your fabric. If you move your work to fast, the BSR will beep at you. Always use a microtex needle, as a "quilting" needle is better suited for piecing. Hope this info helps you.

We call screaming in our home, venting. lol

I enjoy u very much.

You know what would be fun is doing another sew away the Blues for the winter months that way we all have something to do not that we don't already

Happy Saturday Joy

I went to the Expo and was so disappointed. Looked forward to it for weeks, paid $10 to park and the $15 entry fee, was there less than 3 hours. Will not go back next year. Chalk it up to “live and learn”.

Joy, so sorry that place is so bad. If you two ever wanna take it to the one in Phoenix, I live just outside of Phoenix in a rural area near Sun City West and Sun City Grand and we have an RV hookup here at the house as well. We had friends who used to bring their rv down and camp out in our driveway for a month or so in the winter months when it's cool, but they are no longer coming because they sold it. You and Jerry are welcome anytime! We are Christians as well and attend Calvary Phx in Glendale, so we'll take ya along if ya ever wanna head out to the wild wild west. :)

I’m always on the look-out for patterns that don’t need a zip at the back

The white envelopes are probably new stock. The green are old.

I used end to end quilting from Designs by JuJu with my largest hoop 6”x9” on my first embroidery machine to quilt a twin quilt. 108 hoopings😯! My largest hoop on my new Baby Lock is 8”x12” so it is better but the largest I’d do is a twin. Becky Thompson has some end to end quilting videos with Designs by JuJu designs. There are other companies with edge to edge /end to end designs for the embroidery machine from Amelia Scott Designs and Kimberbell are a few others. I think it’s great I can quilt on my embroidery machine.

Next month I'm going to make the Butterick walkaway dress

Bring your own from now on girl

A chainsaw to cut the meatloaf !!!! 😄😄😄!!!!!

Agree with you, and not a fan of the little quilt colors, or of oranges and browns generally. I won't buy a vehicle with brown/tan interior either! I'd be depressed and get angry every time I got in it. Ask me how I know that!

It means it is ready to go to the register.

I have a name of a guy! Haha. How many times have I said that. Took me 3 months , to find a roofer. By my self!

do 6753 tutorial, plz ! ❤

The white squares are to hang your white board

I just came back from JoAnns. Butterick patterns are $1.99 this weekend. As usual, my JoAnns in Kansas City is a mess. One I really wanted- not there. Probably 50+ patterns all laying on top the cabinets. (Yes I had to look through them all too!) I was only half way through your video when I sent it- should have waited until the end to see your suggestions up close. I like that mandarin collar jacket 6753. I’m interested in seeing yours finished out of the quilting cotton? Is that what you plan to do?

I have done a few sewing videos where I just at the machine sewing and I'm not talkin except for in a few parts

Joy, Your blood pressure must be sky-high. Maybe you should fire-up your Wii to relax. Take care.

Where did you get that great shelving unit?

Do you know about the lutterloh system. How does it compare with other systems.

Hi Joy. Have you heard of the Newmar international? I'd love to meet you there!

It seems you've had nothing but trouble with your RV Joy, maybe you should get rid. 😊

I love to make clothes out of quilting fabric

Love your videos BUT you need to get closer to the camera. It’s hard to see details when you are far away!

Joy, you need a chill pill. Lol

The hospital experience sounds horrible. A letter should have been written to the hospital Administrator. Jerry’s experience was horrible.

Pretty fabrics!
