Just found you through another "floss tuber". Like ya'll I stitched in the 80's and 90's and I am just coming back around to it as a lady in her sixties. My Mimi was an avid knitter, crocheter, tatting, sewing, cross-stitch, and embroidery lady. She had a shop back in the day where she taught folks to sew, knit, and crochet. I miss her. I am working on my first sampler and I didn't know you could change the colors. I wished I would have known this because I would have changed the colors on this sampler! ha! Subscribed and will explore more of your videos. Cheers Ladies!🥰 PS is there a page where I can pick up the lingo? WIPS? L&S?

What a stellar tutorial! Just so well done and fits anyone’s budget! I’ve always wanted to try EPP and hexies. I’m going for it and gathering my supplies. Thank you for making the video and sharing your talents!

Stitch, quilt. Bless you sister.

What is the holder you are using for your silks

Hi Shellie. I am using Straw Needles #11 and the Clover Desk Needle Threader. Sometimes the Needle Threader cuts the thread instead of threading the needle. If I use a thicker needle with a larger eye it does thread. But the thicker needle doesn’t slide as nicely through the fabric like the #11. I’m assuming #10 needle is slightly bigger. Have you ever used a #10 needle? Do the Daly needles thread better? Does a #10 go through fabric well? Thanks for your help. And thank you for your wonderful videos. I really enjoy you and Kari. What a great team you make!

You are such a blessing! Love, jersey, pins, lotion

I love your designs. I live, in GA. My local needlework shops are in Waynesville, NC, Annabella’s or the Tudor Rose in Clarksville, GA. Both shops carry your designs, so when I get to their shop, I buy your patterns (I’m not a pdf user if paper is available.). Elayne also has a Floss tube channel, Annabella's. I think JBW Designs meshes well with my CS likes. Due to an eye disease, Aida in a max count of 18 is my best option. Please keep designing these wonderful CS opportunities.

I found Kari’s KZfaq video on this quilt along. I’ve decided to join you guys. It’s going to be a lot of fun. I have tried EPP a little bit a few years ago. I think this quilt along will give me the structure for me to me successful. Looking forward to more videos. I have subscribed to yours and Kari’s channels. Thanks.

Quilt ❤

Great tips, Shelly, especially the pass through thread and circle around the corner! Was wondering how far apart your stitches are when in the straight edge? Thanks a so much!

I’m confused about the 2” plastic template from fat quarter shop. It’s the same size as the paper template. I thought you used this plastic template to cut out the fabric. If both are the same size there is no fabric to wrap around the paper template. Please help me!!!! PS I love your video, it’s very helpful and I’m sure I’m just missing something here! Shirley

I love to quilt!

❤thinking of you and your family😊

You have done a great tutorial. Thank you for being so patient with your instructions. I have sewn hexes before but have never used glue. This is going to be a new experience. I am gathering my supplies getting ready to start with the “Grumpy Susan” sew along.

Thanks so much Shelly for sharing! I think I'm going to try this- you've done a great job covering the bases for starting this- thank you, thank you.

Thank you for this fantastic tutorial and the tips and tricks. Such a pleasure to listen to.

Thanks Shelly really enjoyed the video the two of you make me smile such good team work looking forward to seeing all the finished quilts ❣️

Only 14 mins into video, but you are making me nervous, leaving your rotary cutter blade open and laying it down open. Accidents happen, please be careful. Some viewers could pick up that as a bad habit.

Thank you Shellie you are a great teacher!! I have wanted to do this quilt for a long time and when I came across this I was very excited..I did print off my own paper pieces and I started ..got to be truthful though I was disappointed that my stitching when doing the whip stitch across was slightly showing on the other side so I thought I might do the ladder stitch instead when I came across this stitch called invisible feather stitch and I tried it and boy was it a game changer..love love love it..just thought I would put that out there in case anyone else maybe having the same problem..again thank you for letting us all be included and taking your time to show us and involve everyone on here..

Big Congratulation !!!!!! I'm new to your channel and just love your videos which I have been watching. I have learned some great tips on EPP. I just love the Quaker cross stitch. I'll be watching you and Tiger Lily Design on grumpy susan flower garden. Thank you so much for sharing with us all.

I wish you could get closer when you’re stitching. It’s hard to see but thank you so much for your tutorial.

The Spool holder is so cute and handy to keep your threads on.

Just love your quilt story! You are such a precious lady. You need to add a Dresden block with fabrics you love so your daughter will see you in the quilt too! I am sure your daughter will cherish it always! I know I would cherish anything you would make for me. I feel like I know & love you as a Stitchy friend. Thank you all you do for the stitching community.❤️🥰😘

Hi Shelly, I am not a quilter but I love listening to the ins and outs of quilting. Loved the 3 friends legacy quilt that will go to your daughter. Also a very heart felt story about baptizing the person with cancer. You helped bring serenity to her mind and spirit, something that will help her face her remaining days with grace and courage. Bravo!!

Congrats what a special milestone you are so deserving. Tomato,pins,pouch,bag

I enjoy spending time with you. I so appreciate your positive energy and attitude. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you! ❤

I just loved the video! I have wanted to make one like this. You have given so many tips and easier ways to do things! Ready to get supplies and get going.

I'm really thinking about joining in! I like doing EPP. I think this SAL will make me love EPP. One quick question..... Do your stitches show on the front?

Thank you so much for this video about EPP. Can you tell me why you use polyester vs. cotton thread?

This is so exciting!! I want to try it <3 Thank you for these videos!

I was sewing a flower last night. I always did 2 stitches with a knot starting and ending. Last night I was counting 3 out loud 😅!! I also liked your suggestion about not folding the seam allowance over too tight. I need to double check my needles and my threader, I understand now after your explanation, great tip! You and Kari have given me new inspiration ❣️

Loved the sampler from the museum. Can we order one too?😊

Hi Shelly, Thank you for sharing your instructional video on English paper piecing. It was clear and understandable to us lay persons. Be blessed and please continue to open our minds to learning all the new things that are in the world of crafting. Alberta from Southern, MD...😊😊

I have a beautiful barn quilt painted by a local artist here in middle TN. I love it!

Thank you so very much for your wonderful tutorial. I'm going to join in, but didn't know where to start as I'm planning on using all the scraps from previous projects. Not so intimidating after all. Now I need to get cutting 😊

Loved listening to you and visiting. I just love the spool finish you did.

Can you do squares or do you always do octagons? Your video is amazing and inspiring. I am going to give it a try

I've been wanting to learn EPP. Thank you for this tutorial and sharing your tips and tricks. I think I'm ready now to give it a try.

Great tutorial Shellie.Thanks

Congratulations! I really enjoy seeing everything you stitch and quilt.

Thank you so much for your very clear instruction. I have tried this block before without much success. Your method is so clear. Thank you, i will try it again.

Hi Shellie What a wonderful video that was. I never realized just what there was to doing that. I have always loved the flower garden quilt and I have just about all my supplies to do it. I am thankful for you and Kari for taking time to teach what you know so we all can learn.

Thank you for the time you spent making this video 😊 I love this quilt pattern and have one in process🪡🧵 I've gotten behind in flosstube and haven't commented in a while... I enjoyed the update on VBS (in another video) with your grandkids! Hope you are having a good summer 🇺🇸🐦🍓🌸

Thank you! I really enjoyed your video.

I've been interested in trying this for a long time . I'm definitely ordering my supplies and can't wait to get started. Excellent tutorial!! Thank you so much for the inspiration.

I purchased a hexi punch from Michaels and make my own templates from Bristol board. I’ll have to check if it’s 1 1/2 inches.

I have a tip that I do to hold the template on the fabric. I punched 2 holes in my template, then using appliqué pins I pin in one hole and out the other. The appliqué pins are shorter so the thread doesn’t get caught (much). This was a game changer for me.

I am a multi -crafter as well and am really enjoying seeing quilting!! You have a natural gift of teaching for sure. I have always been interested in EPP, but have never fully understood it until now-thank you!! I am finishing a quilt presently and am really considering joining in😊

Great information!
