Here is a little quilt block chat. I'm sure there are many different tutorials out there showing how to make this block - but here is mine. And I hope you enjoy the story about my Quilt Challenge for my lovely Mum, or better still - try it yourself!
I have a Liberty Trip Around the World Quilt that I will show you as part of the Liberty series I am working on - and then I will explain how to avoid getting all those squares meeting up in the middle - but I bet you can work it our for yourself!
See you next time
Love

My mom quilted, too. I never paid attention, and how I regret it now. She died in 2007, and I only just recently, on the 13th anniversary of her death had the strength to open up a barrel of scraps she left me. I'm now muddling through sorting, washing and ironing all the scraps and beginning a scrappy quilt.

I love both yours and your Mom's quilts! Gorgeous. And I love how your Mom managed to put some purplish blocks into the one she made. Also a great tutorial on the block-thank you 🥰

Your mum sounds a lot like my mom. She made hundreds of quilts for family, friends and charities. At her funeral, we had many of her quilts hanging over the pews at the church. It was beautiful.

What a lovely idea! Can I share my story even tho it has nothing to do with quilting? 😉 My Mom loved wearing beautiful hats so all of the ladies in the family wore her collection of hats to her funeral. She would have loved it!

The quilts are just beautiful...and such a nice memory. I was thinking of my mom today, too. She did wonderful embroidery..she would do dish towel sets and she gave many away as gifts. A quilting cousin made hers into a quilt and last year she sent it to me..I treasure it. Today we are getting snow..AGAIN...and I was feeling pretty down (it was 70 degrees yesterday!) After my mom died I kept some of her supplies and today I decided to sort through it...I found a towel she had started. It has two little bluebirds embroidered and felt a bit like a hug telling me spring will eventually get here! I dusted off my supplies and am going to finish it! Mom memories are the very best!

@rebeccafoust2963 5 жыл бұрын

I grew up in a house where embroidered items and other handmade objects were everywhere. As a teenager, I was asking mom about a couple of my favorite pieces, and if she still had the patterns etc. .. I was informed she did not do those- my dad did- as a boy.... bluebirds on a pillowcase and a bedspread with a cross-stitched basket overflowing with embroidered flowers and other flower sprays scattered all over. ... thanks for the reminder of treasured memories. yes, our memories of our loved ones are the absolute best.

What a precious thing to do with your mom. A very nice memory to cherish. As for the trip around the world........Girl.....nothing to it....😨........hahaha.....Maybe if you've done it a few times. But never seen it done before.....hmmm.....I know I can do it, slowly....with your video as a guide. Thank you. I think it would be lovely in a pallet of aqua. (my favorite color, anywhere from seafoam green to watery blue. I'm a water lover) You are giving me a lot of inspiration, but I am still knitting socks. I'm getting really good at it.😉

I adore your videos. I recently ( December 7 th 2018) lost my son to cancer. He was only 39 just weeks from his birthday. He had three sons and a wife my beloved daughter in law he left behind besides me his dad and siblings. It has been excruciating and nearly impossible to go on. But strangely I stumbled on your channel and it has taken me out of my own brain. I binge watch and your positive attitude and beautiful simple yet incredible life allows me to escape. Thank you! I’m a Patreon and I want to up my tier so you are able to continue making these videos. I can’t even say which I prefer, everyone of them have been a blessing. 🌺

I made a quilt for my daughter 30 years ago with the help of a friend and have never attempted because I don't trust the accuracy of my cutting and seam skills, but this one looks easy enough that I might try to do a wall hanging. All of your quilts are lovely especially the one you made for your mom because of the memories that go with it. Keep making videos about your quilts :)

Hello Kate ~ That is the quilt around the world block that I would like to try some day. It is the very middle section that I am stumped on. I did try Eleanor Burn`s quilt around the world layout which does give you a very uneven top and bottom. At least mine came out that way. Plus she used the full length of the strips to sew into a tube. If you decide to make another quilt your way please show what you do for the middle. TIA. Enjoy your week and thanks for the video.

@gloriaadams8776 5 жыл бұрын

Busy Beaver Just a tip.If you are sewing the full fabric width and strips, you can get bowing or curving. To avoid this alternate when sewing the strips. One, top to bottom, the next bottom to top, the next top to bottom, etc. First time I sewed strips, it bowed so much it looked like a rainbow. So much, that the teacher asked for it as an example of what not to do, lol..happy quilting

I was very young and excited to get started, but I cut all my little blocks and started in the very middle...and continued my trip around the world sewing every stitch by hand and going around and around that very first block. Fabric I used was double knit and worked up quite nicely. My daughter still has that quilt. Put SO much work into it! I do love that pattern tho.
