One of the best piecing/quilting videos I have seen, and I have seen them all! I have to keep watching it as I am a new and not very adventurous quilter, but I am making progress.

I was watching a new person to crumb quilting the other day. It was lovely to hear her say your name and said your the queen of crumb quilting,, people should definitely watch your channel. I thought how nice that was.

Yes, definitely the Crumb Queen. I can’t find my four inch squared off blocks I made 12 months ago. Guess I’ll have to make some more.

What have you done to me? I am allll excited because I just started sewing and I have ends of material lying around. Now I have discovered a whole new hobby. I lovvvveee this. Thanks for the ideas!111🎉❤

I like how clearly you explain step-by-step what you are sewing and why, also bringing in alternate ways of getting similar results. Darlene, you should be "teaching" your quilting knowledge at schools!!

Just what I needed: another craft addiction 😉🤣 edit: the wonkier the better 🤩

Yes Darlene, the addiction is real. This is the only kind of quilting I want to do. Thanks so much for teaching us!!

Darlene, I’ve been following you for sometime and I have to say I always enjoy your creative quilting. You say everything in easy to understand terms and you don’t get wrapped up in perfection! I’m the same way & have been making crumb & strip projects for years. It is very real addicting but very relaxing too. I just want you to know I think you’re the queen of crumb/strip quilts. I appreciate all you do. Stay well and I will be following you as always.🥰

This is remarkably informative! I am a newer quilter, and need courage to do this. Also, Darlene did not assume too much knowledge on my p[art, which was welcome. Her detailed narrative really helped.

❤thankyou

I love this! My daughter just asked me for a bed runner and she said color and style don't matter - so this is the perfect method! Thank you!

BEST VIDEO EVER! I enjoyed watching this process and now I'm ready to spend some time at my machine.

Oh my giddy word I may need an intervention here!!

Thank you for this tutorial. I am new to quilting but I am using the scraps left over from the baby quilts and wall hanging I made to make a crumb block and make some mug rugs.

Live crumbs! Can never have enough videos with them!😂

This is just absolutely fabulous. I just can´t wait to get into scraps sewing 😀

Really great, stimulates the imagination, opens possibilities. Thanks. Jill

This is gob-smacking awesome. Thank you, Darlene.

I just love your crumb block video's... love the sound of your sewing machine. 😊

Lots of great ideas.

Love it, I started my first crumb throw blanket, it's fun, plus when finished it's not all uniform and amazing

I love this! I will start asap

I had fun watching this video. I kept thinking that it would be such a riot to get to sew with you!!! 😂 thanks so much for sharing these terrific ideas!

i always love watching you i miss sewimg need to jump back in

Your table and machine look incredibly loved. The tutorial was great. Thanks

I just started my first crumb quilt for a wedding gift for my best friend 💝 I was using a combination of method 1 and 2 but now I've got 3 more to incorporate and really shake things up! Instant subscribe seeing the "Queen of crumb quilting" comment lol Where are you from, Darlene? I recognize the New England accent, but can't pinpoint a state 😂 hey from northern Maine 👋💝

One strategy I noticed that I really like is to make two similarly sized sets of strips and put them right sides together, then sew sets of two lines of stitching about a quarter inch apart, then leave a 2 inch gap and sew another set of 2 lines of stitching. Carefully cut between your pairs of lines, then cut in the middle of the wider gap. I set up 3 or 4 of these and chain sew.

Well, I thought I had heard of everything lol......definately interesting!!

I love watching these videos over and over ❤️ Love you Darlene…. I know that’s weird to say, but meh, you’re amazing! (My fave videos are still the mosaics tho!)

Very helpful to watch snd learn. Thank you

Very clever Darlene! Superb ideas...

Love this! Thank you

Love your show.

Thank you!

Amei as dicas!!!

Love you and your show.

I love what you do with the scraps. Mine seem to be squares. Because I have bigger scraps I guess. Thx

You just covered this❤

Assisti muitos vídeos seus, e fiz alguns projetos baseados em seus tutoriais. Você é fantástica. Gratidão

All my LQS sell scrap bags for under $10....i have a 50 gallon tote full of scraps, i keep the whites n beiges out for other projects. Off i go for mindless sewing today :)

I never realized they had a name. Been making these for 40/50 years.

Супер Спасибо огромное

Good video

What is your sewing machine model. I like the way it sews

Your machine is so quiet ! What brand do U have ? ❤

Method 6: Mix and use all 5 methods combined :-)

I love 🎉 Tell me how to use the crumb😂

Do you make a crumb block using a 5 sided center to begin? The first crumb block I made started with a 5 sided block and I like that pattern and have tried to steer friends to that video and have been unable to find it.

I have started many with 5 sides. I’m sure I have many examples but so many videos and I can’t take the time to try and find that. There’s a link in the description to my crumb quilt adventure. Send your friends to that.

Please what is that little sewing cloth you are using that is always u der you needle. Thank you

I started my first crumb blocks yesterday. Although I was happy with the process, I didn't like the result. I think, watching this, my mistake was using pieces that were too varied in size. I mixed big and small, I should have kept it to one or the other. I will try again with more of a strategy this time. Thanks.

There is no strategy for crumb blocks. Varied sizes are awesome! There are no such things as mistakes. And don’t judge on your very first block. You said you were happy with the process, so just keep doing it for the sake of the process. Doesn’t matter how they turn out because they are all perfect.

I have a video explaining it here kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y3ppqdJsY8Sul7A.html

I just don't understand the concept of cutting the scraps up smaller and smaller. It creates more seams and less actual inches of fabric exposed. Would have liked to see a finished block using this sew and cut technique. I try to keep my crumb cutting to a minimum

I have a gazillion finished blocks in my videos. You can crumb any way you want. No rules.
