I taught a crochet club for 4th and 5th graders. Parents loved how it raised their self esteem. I would have loved to teach them to machine sew. I think they need to bring home economics or fiber arts back to high school curriculum.

We did home economics and learned to sew. I never stopped and am still sewing 50 years later. We get lots of rain here in Scotland and having a good hobby keeps you sane.

Q

I wish you would also list actual yardage for those who don't use precuts as well as doing different sizes

@rainydaydiva6320

A layer cake contains almost 3 yards of fabric. So, you would need 3 yards of fabric if ur using yardage.

Love Mistys option, think it I would make it white teamed with blue/white floral to make a lovely fresh, light an airy look.

Thank you for the tips. I love all 3 of you. Putting 4 blocks together is easier on people with back or neck issues to work with a smaller section. The. The strain is minimal when putting it together at the end.

Always enjoy the triple play. I worked in a K-12 school library for 29 years and had read The Quiltmaker's Gift to a 4th grade class. They wanted to make a quilt for a hospitalized classmate. I cut the 3 inch squares of various fabrics and colors. They each chose 9 for a 9 patch block. I have a collection of old black head Singers, a handcrank, featherweight, 99s, 15s, variety of others. I set the machines (6) up on the library tables on the elementary side. The class came before their lunchtime. On the whole most did ok sewing. But, the guys in the class came back after a quick lunch and "unsewed" some of theirs to resew. They were more picky than the gals. A most rewarding time in the library.

My favorite was quilt #3, except I wouldn’t use a flowered print. Very cool 😎

Just a few minutes in and already I want to thank you for talking about mental health for young people because it’s reached crisis level in our country as the pandemic slowly winds down. Public schools in our area do offer something similar to what used to be called home ec-it’s now called family and consumer science. And they do offer a clothing design course, but I don’t think it extends to quilting. (I teach English so it’s not my area so I could be wrong) I have always wanted to explore the potential interest in offering quilting as a club at the high school level, but was always too exhausted by my regular duties. I’ll be retiring after this year so maybe I’ll be a volunteer. 😄

Thank you for being a teacher! Especially these days!

My daughter is a fourth generation Home Economics teacher, now called Family and Consumer Science. She teaches 6th, 7th and 8th grades and teaches quilting in all of her sewing classes. Love that she is teaching the next generation of quilters!

Thank you Jenny for taking the time to show us the magic of how the 2 1/2 inch yellow strips unfolded came out. So then when Natalie lined up the yellow strips, and cut them into 2 1/2 inch triangle blocks it made sense. I loved all three quilts. Thanks for showing us this Jacob's latter block.

I just love Triple Play Day! All there are amazing. My favorite is Misty's quilt.

OK - Misty’s quilt is also beautiful and totally out,of my color box as I don’t usually use such light fabrics. But - this line looks great and another super color choice for teaching me this over 43-years of quilting person ( I learned way back in the hand piecing only time)! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!

Jacobs ladder was the first pattern I ever made. On a whim I booked a quilting class to make a quillow. Here I am 20+ years later, still hooked on quilting. I'll definitely make one of these.

I love triple play fridays!

I like the speedy techniques shown in this video. As long as there is no BIAS cuts ( bias is my personal enemy) it really helps to sew up my blocks.

Good evening lovely ladies, WOW Natalie, you look so pretty with your new haircut and freshen up colour, it so brightens up your bonny face, making your eyes sparkle, Jenny you have two bonny girls standing beside you. I loved how ordered Misty's quilt was in colour and layout, although Jenny's star style was lovely, if a bit busy for my eyes and brain. Nat, i loved your reasoning behind your bright, cheerful yellow quilt having been brought up doing crafts literally almost before i could walk. My lovely Mum, was a crafter by necessity because she didn't keep well to be able to work when we were small, and not have very much of a wage coming in even with my Daddy working all hours he could. With her brilliant hands and brain taught me to never be afraid to try and so i am a multi crafter and enjoy so many crafts and now because of you and another talented lady on KZread, i am trying my hand at making a quilt. Learning sewing is a life skill that we all need to help bring our planet back to thrive instead of being just one big dustbin of rubbish. Teaching children crafts breaks out their imagination that they never knew that they had and sets their little minds growing and being able to conquer many things because they learned how to use their imagination to start with. My brother's friend, who used to make life impossible for me when we were at school, now wants me to teach her some of the things that come to me naturally, but she had never attempted. She is now learning how to sew buttons on cardigans, shirts, trousers, etc, things she would just throw them away and buy new. It's funny how i new feel useful after so many years of being the odd ball amongst everyone that was "normal". Thank you ladies for sharing both your love of sewing and for bringing twists on patterns that have come through the ages. Jenny i would be like you in having a rummage through the thrift shops, it's amazing what you can pick up, although some times i can't understand why someone would throw these things away. Have a wonderful evening girls and see you again soon on our screens, crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil Village, Scotland

I am always so amazed at how different the same block is used to create beautiful different quilts. Love triple play and love MSQC!

I have made each of our grandchildren a quilt for graduation. Made the Jacob's Ladder quilt for my oldest grandson, Jacob, using the Missouri Star pattern. It is 96 by 104. It turned out great with Jenny's help. Always look forward to triple play and I love each of your quilts.

Can you do a mini video of Natalie's tip ? I could not figure out what you were talking about .... the tip sounded like something that would really be helpful to me

Great video for QUILTING 101

All of these quilts are so beautiful but Misty's quilt is such a great blend of modern & traditional, the fabrics used look amazing in a Jacob's ladder quilt. I also love the way she alternated the center squares to get the chain affect through the quilt. Thank You so much for sharing Your creativity & knowledge with us every week. Love all of Your tutorials :)

Jenny, I am also left-handed and I too get messed up putting them together. I am a beginner quilter (because of covid), so I am ripping seams all the time. I am very fortunate to have had two grandmothers-in-law, that took their time to show me how to quilt and that was many years ago. When I was not able to work because of Covid, I decided to start quilting. I am very artistic and make my own jewelry and figurines, so this is another chapter in my life and I love it. I am making the disappearing hour glass quilt out of the Buzzworthty fabric.

I love Jenny's quilt! I am a lover of stars.

I love yellow, Natalie your quilt is definitely my choice.

It's funny, I pulled my Missouri Star Jacob's ladder quilt pattern two days ago to make another quilt. this was fun.

I just made a variation of Jacob's Ladder for a niece and her husband. They are expecting their 1st baby in July. She LOVES the quilt I made! And of the 3 made in this tutorial, Misty's has my vote. I love it! I also love the soft colors she used.

I always look forward to the Triple Play day. Misty's quilt is my favorite this time.

I really like Misty’s quilt. It looks so elegant! These quilts all look like they would really take a long time to make, but with the short cuts they have shown us on the 4 patch and hst’s, it makes it so much quicker

Natalie, I just bought material from that line, creativity glows. It glows in the dark!

Thank you so very much! Jacob's Ladder has always been a favourite of mine. Now with your shortcuts any fear is gone. I can hardly wait to pull fabrics all 3 variations.

Sew true how sewing mends the soul. Great patterns, Thank you!

Love to see how each of you use the same block with such variety. Beautiful!

Verynfun to see the same pattern turned in different layouts and different color ways as well. Thanks for couple great tips and great tutorial 🧵🪡

You girls are all so smart.

Love the quilt Natalie, especially the backing. If you used this as a picnic quilt, it wouldn’t show the grass stains. Cool.

I love all three of these, they are different but use the same squares. Thank you.

Great color on your nails, Natalie!!!!!😄😄😄. And Jenny, I love the black.

Natalie looks great and Love her nails!! great job all.

I think you ladies hit a home run again! I also think you have dream jobs! You don’t have to make room for all your fabrics and notions at home. I doubt that you have to order supplies! 😁 The hardest part is choosing which fabric you want to work with. Thank you all for sharing your ideas and talents with us! Thank you, Jenny, for sharing your love of quilting with your family and all of us! We love all of you!

Eunice from Inverloch Victoria Australia: The most consistent thing I gain every time I watch your "Triple Play" is three beautiful women loving and respecting and enjoying their relationship 😀 ❤

Thank you all! LOVE all of the videos!!!!!! ❤️

Love them all. Jenny, yours has almost a secondary large star pattern. ...ha ha,I posted my comment about the secondary star pattern before I watched the video.

Love your all your quilts. I enjoy a bright scrappy like Jenny's and Natalie's, as well as the calming , coordinated look of Misty's. Thanks for sharing those cutting and sewing tips, as well as your little mantras to keep you on track. Thanks for another great triple play!

Three more beautiful quilts. I have not ever made a Jacob's Ladder quilt and did not really know much about the design. Now I do and now one more quilt added to my todo list. Thanks ladies!

Very cool tutorial. I did laugh at myself a couple of times when I said out loud, “Both sides!” when they kept saying “either side of the line”! 🤭

I love this 1st quilt. It reminds me of fish swimming in both directions.

I love that the company is doing this for young people! I can't believe there is no home economics in school any longer!! Thanks for everything you ladies do and do well!

LoveTriple Plays. Decisions hard, but I think I really loveJennys,as the different layouts, especially with the black, really appeals. But all are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing 🥰🇦🇺

J adore tout ce que vous réalisez. Votre histoire familiale m a beaucoup touché. Vous êtes un exemple de courage et de résilience, bravo.

Love seeing Triple Play!

Stunning! Love Triple Play days 🥰

Love all the quilts, but Natalie’s really makes me smile. It is so bright and cheerful. I would never consider using such a bright yellow for the background, but it is perfect! I made a Jacob’sLadder as one of my first large quilts. I made it in calm colors as I was giving it to a person who had just had surgery. I bought the fabric on line, and didn’t realize I bought a half yard bundle. I had over 15 yards of this fabric, and made multiple quilts with it. After 5 years, I have just a few small pieces left. Thanks for such great versions of this very versatile block. They were all beautiful.

Watching 3 different ways patches are put together is so inspiring.

Thank you for another triple play. Love all three. Hope to see another triple play book with this years quilts.

Triple Play, Yay! Great Job Girls!!! I Love All Three. Have a wonderful weekend, 🥰 Chris

Watching you three ladies interact and share tips is a highlight of every triple play. The quilts are great too.😉 Thank you for all you do!

OMGGG OMGGG! I am the Studio Director for the Creativity Shell. Thank you so much for sharing our fabric with with everyone!! The quilts look so amazing!

I usually like one of the three but really enjoy seeing how all three women have a different take on the idea of the week. This time I really like all three and hope to make one soon!

The fabric Misty used for hers was gorgeous.

love these triple plays!

I love triple play! It should be a national holiday....

Triple Play is my favorite MSQC show!!

Loved all three! Thank you Jenny for doing a dark background quilt. Both stars are beautiful. I can't wait to do all three versions.

All my family members have at least one pet in the house, not to mention my two adorable grandchildren! So no one wants a quilt with a pale background. I have to plan quilts that will not be spoiled by a little smear of dirt, because I want my quilts to be used now, not after I am dead. So a good multi-color, with darks and brights predominating has become my grandma style of quilting.

Great triple play.

I appreciated that you had a lot of the prep done ahead of time. This might be the most fast paced triple play you’ve done. Great fabrics and interpretations, ladies!

I love it when you share your ideas, sew very helpful to us all.

I can't tell you enough that I'm glad others don't get too hung up on the seams either. Girl, I'm all about getting that quilt made and don't sweat one tiny seam!

I just love you ladies and triple play Fridays! Thank you.

Natalie "I'm a big fan of communication." haha..Cracked me up. I agree!

I love triple play but this is going to be a favorite. All 3 are striking

Natalie you are looking so good!!! keep up the good work. You are inspiring for me to get healthy.

Misty is the winner for me this month. I love watching the quilts each of you makes for the triple play episodes. Thank you for all the great ideas!

i like all 3 of these. i love triple play its so much fun.

Love all three quilts with the new tips. Love daughters and mother

When children feel successful at anything, making something, help them feel love, for themselves and a quilt. It has to start somewhere, great job Natalie.

Amen! Honestly I feel the same way as an adult - creating something, especially with peaceful chain piecing, and then feeling accomplished when it's done (even though it's never perfect) does WONDERS for maintaining my mental health 🧘‍♀️

I love the triple plays!

Thank you! I’m excited to hear of Creativity Shell. What a great organization! These were all awesome! No favorite this time which is rare.

I always enjoy triple play the different ideas each of you have for the same pattern. All three quilts are beautiful.

As Lawrence Welk would say, "Wonderful, wonderful... Always creative, unique and entertraining. Thanks for sharing your ideas, shortcuts and humor. Blessings to y'all.

Just now able to closely watch this video. Natalie! Good to see you and what a great quilt!!! Thank you ladies for all your work and sharing with us ❤️

Thank you for the triple play.

I always look forward to the 3 of you and wonder what treat you all cooked up. They are all beautiful! Thanks.

I look forward to triple play and usually Natalie is the winner for me. This time her quilt was too loud for my taste and Misty’s was the winner. Thanks for all the great demonstrations

Some very cool tips shared! I am visualizing Natalie’s quilt made with muted grey for the “boxes” and bright solids for the squares and triangles.

My father’s name was Jacob and I must, must make these options in honor of him. Thank you for the inspiration❤️

Such a fun idea. This was one of my favorites!

Yay, Triple play. I wish they would bring home economics back in school. I loved it back when I was in school. It always feels like an extra special day when I get to see triple play. You ladies are amazing and special to my heart. Thank you for triple play.

Love them all! In a rare moment, I could definitely see myself making each version, with a different fabric collection, which would make them all look totally different. Thanks, Natalie, Jenny, Misty & MSQC Team!!!

Love all the quilts today!

Being an abused child, I found comfort in my home ec class with Mrs. Geisler as my teacher. She taught me how to be creative and respect the experience of sewing. Today, as my husband is enduring health issues I find solace in my sewing room quilting. ❤️

All are so beautiful!

Natalie I think the line of fabric you used is so great I alos can't believe there isn't home ec in school any longer! I tried to teach my dauhter to sew but she doesn't have the patience to so it. I have 2 granddaughters who have shown interest in sewing and I bought them borh sewing machines. They are very busy with school and work but I offer to spend time sewing with them as often as I can. I am thinking about teaching them to quilt. I made quilts for them and they love them so much (Partly thanks to your very professional quilting done to them! Thanks to all of you ladies for your great quilting tuitorials!!!

Love them all

Beautiful quilts! And Natalie's hair style is very attractive!

This is one of my favorite Triple Play Tutorials! You girls are hitting it out of the park! My daughter has adopted two foster daughters. And Me, Grammy, has helped them sew bedding for the dolls, make biscuits, and crack eggs! They are becoming more confident as they learn new skills!

Love all the quilts! Thanks so much for sharing!

Love these triple plays! You give these old blocks, new life. Would have a hard time picking a favorite one on this triple play! Guess that means will have to make them all! LOL

Hi ladys, just thought I'd share I never wanted to quilt until I was laid up with covid, and watched so many of your tutorials. Now I think I can quilt 😆. I am inspired to try tho. Wish me luck on a small project.

Wow! Beautiful!!

These are all gorgeous! I’ve never done Jacob’s Ladder. Might have to give it a go when I’ve finished the double pinwheel one from Jenny’s earlier video.

Love love love you three together!

It's so nice to see all three lady's again. Misty is so cheery in sunshine yellow. Natalie is so pretty. I lost 20 pound's so far during this virus scare. But Natalie, & Jenny have been getting healthier, & healthier every time I see them. Very good job ladies. You're looking so great. This video is very informative. Thank you.
