Georgous blanket...wow💜🇺🇸 Always nice designs, patterns and sewn items. Maybe show countryside where you live to give you more time to sew or complete items. Stress is no good... your right. You are more important to us and want you around a long time. Yarn looks luscious😊 KZread waynesville NC USA 🇺🇸 veteran. Crocheting a 30x30 tourquoise crocodile stitch baby blanket...sooo much yarn needed 2000yds+. Most baby blankets 700-1500 yds.

Great to see you, Emma; from Northern California, @ 4000 ft, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains! Bit chilly here, too; feels sew much better than the excessive heat we've had this past summer! All 3 of my children's quilts were worn through, especially the double bindings, before they had their quilts 6 years...all repaired; all are in their 30's, now.

All your projects are so wonderful and inspiring! Everything is beautiful! especially like the little purses and the larger version. I have been knitting pumpkins for my daughter and my grand daughters play with them all the time. I also started practicing spinning with a drop spindle, lots to learn but it's fun.

Wow you have been busy!! It’s lovely to see you and I love the colour of your hair😊 I’m bi-polar so I struggle with dark night and mornings😔 I don’t no if this helps but when I’m layering the quilt up I use quilters pins over the front,there a cross between safety pins and nappy pins so they are long enough to go through all three layers,it stops it all moving when you pick it up. I do spray the 2 layers bottom,wadding then I put the pins in… I love the sewing box I must get a pattern that will be ideal to keep all my cross stitch bits in. I have made the purse before and keep saying I’m going to make another but you no what it’s like!! The little basket is so sweet also.

Hello Emma, The penguin quilt is absolutely stunning!! You did such a great job! You really have been busy! It must be difficult keeping up your creativity for your work projects, & still have some fun projects to work on for yourself. I love your little pouch! It’s so sweet - I must get it to stitch up!! I am still busy working my way through the cross stitch bird series that I had started before I got sick with Covid, & then a sinus infection. I wasn’t able to sew at all while I was sick. So I am trying to play catch up a little, & get some things done! I do hope that all is well with you, & I look forward to seeing what treats you will have next!

Loved seeing your recent & future projects & as far as I'm concerned, the longer the podcast the better. The penquin quilt is lovely (love the backing !) & your son's reaction is very sweet. Merci beaucoup for the quilting tips. I've been gleaning info on the topic as I've got many english paper piecing cushion tops & now a machine pieced quilt top but I've not yet got to the quilting phase as I find it very intimidating. Looking forward to seeing your progress on the Jane Austen inspired quilt &, when you get time to start, the Sense & Sensibility one. Kind wishes to you xxxxx

Please never apologize for a longer video, the longer the better. Just love your videos Emma, you are truly a treasure. Love the penguin quilt too! I, too, have always struggled with the layering before quilting - and yes, it is very exhausting. As i have gotten in my late 60s, i have a woman who does it for me. I downsized and dont have the room, and i just cant seem to manage it anymore. Yours looks great. A wonderful job quilting too Emma. Very interesting about 80W thread too, would never have thought that!! That purse is lovely, absolutely lovely and the workmanship is fab! Well done. I didnt get the Barton Cottage kit and i regret it. You mentioned they are coming out with a Pride and Prejudice? If so, i will make sure and grab that one. Thanks for the heads up!

Your quilt is nice. I have a challenge with my king size quilt.I am still doing the hexagon quilt that became a challenge, I put it away for a while. Because it had become a challenge as I somehow got it a bit twisted . I think I will need to cut it in shape and then add to where it’s needed again, I learnt the hard hard way, , will make another in rows rather trying to build on small pieces and put them together. Your little bag is lovely I love the materials, wish I lived near you if you did classes I would learn so much. Thank you for sharing, and so lovely to see you again, been a follower for a long time.

My grandmother used a half size of that first purse shape, with a mirror on the inside lid, as her make-up case, years ago. Amigurumi toys for babies are better made with cotton, less pilling and holds up to washing. If you start with 6 sts, you get a dome shape, 7 stays flat, 8 wrinkles a lot. Cotton yarn that has a harder texture, makes uneven stitches, no matter how good you are. The fabrics in your pretty book. Look like Lori Holt colours.
Omg Emma, I just spent nearly $200 at the Green Fairy. So many good deals even with the conversion from USD to Aussie $s.

When placing your backing on the floor, tape the edges to the floor, pulling it a bit, with painters tape. Not too tight, you don't want to stretch it, but not too loose, you don't want puckers. My batting grabs fabric, instead of smoothing over it, so if there are big wrinkles at the beginning, I lift and position instead of smoothing and petting the batting into position. 💖🌞🌵😷

I did tape it to the floor, but I always find things shift when removing it, no matter if I use pins, spray baste or a combination of both! But the ironing worked a treat! So I’m glad about that. What batting do you use? I’d be curious to try it 🌸

I've always hand quilted on my lap (no hoop) so l don't get tucks and puckers because of the way it lays in my hands whilst stitching. I usually spray baste, then pin, then tie the quilt (removing the pins) and then I quilt at my leisure. I use the quilt and can wash it whilst l'm in the quilting stage.

That penguin quilt is so CUTE! It was so nice to listen and half watch you ( i looked for the important bits!) While I got the table I've been making my porcelain pindishes (you bought one of my magnetics at FOQ and shared it on your video, thankyou for that!) on cleared off, wiped down and ready for me to start applyimg the onglaze decals. I'll be putting another video on once I'm ready to start wiping everything down with white spirit and then applying. I have Ally Pally this week, show number 7 of a block of shows over 10 weeks. I have not had time to make ANYTHING for fun, except for 6 pumpkin yarnbowls that I'm taking to the show. They were fun to make, but still they are stock. Next week, I have some UFOs to finish, sewing ones! I'm so excited! I have a book by a Japanese clothing designer and ive been playing with her designs, adjusting them for my non-Japanese build. Theyve been fun to make. My aim is to have a me made slow fashion wardrobe. Exhibiting at the K&S shows and FOQ has been brilliant for collecting the fabrics for this. Lots of linen, viscose, cotton, cupro...... I'm hoping Rosenbergs and Rainbow Fabrics will have some lovely woollen fabrics in my taste - subvertive, slightly gothy, weird and sci-fi. And i need to make a waterproof cover with ties, for my new memory foam cushion for my throwing stool.

What a good video, I should've turned off after your sons quilt because of all those lovely projects you made, now I want to crochet baskets. make notion purses with clasps, buy new fabric, I'm all over the place now 🤣I really enjoyed making your pattern for the house purse, first time I've followed a pattern and I loved it, made two, one in Liberty, the other in Rose and Hubble floral. I have also used the machine, first time in a long while and I have missed it. I am excited about what you done with the faux patchwork fabric, I bought some Rose and Hubble (I have a few pieces from them) and I couldn't use it as is so your idea about stitching in between is perfect. Book reviews, I love the books, I get all enthusiastic about a book then shelve it lol, that' going to change haha.

Thanks for the catch up. I’m a huge Jane fan as well, but pride and prejudice is my outstanding favourite. Maybe then followed by persuasion which never used to be a favourite. I remember one of your videos that’s a couple of these old now. I think you also had some fabric from Jane Austen type line and I remember looking for that too but couldn’t find any because obviously it had been out of print probably by the time I saw the video you get me looking for all this fabric lol. Now I’m about to try and whip up some Halloween little projects. We don’t celebrate Halloween here in Australia. Not in my home anyway, but I thought a nice little table runner in my entry hall would be nice. I have a month by month little quilted mini quilt, which is Halloween themed so it should go well together. But I’ve also been thinking of some autumn related projects, especially maybe a mini runner with some pumpkins, but may I suggest some beautiful bunting of multicoloured autumn leaves so nice to string up whether it be across the window or an entry I certainly don’t have orange fabrics. I’m a purple person so I would have to go and source a couple of bits that suit the season. Also Jordan fabrics have a tutorial for a table runner that is a machine sewn with a little bit of machine appliqué . Table runner using grunge in autumn tones and it’s something on my to-do list. That may interest you as well. Anyway look forward to seeing you again and I have to do a bit more doing rather than talking. I’ve been a bit of a slump with sewing 🍂

I’m sorry you’ve been in a slump Tracy. You’ve shared so many good ideas here, thank you! Now I want to make everything you suggested! I don’t do Halloween really but my son is interested in it so might have to make some things for him. I’m sorry I get you hunting for fabric! They brought out two Jane Austen themed fabric ranges, the one I used in that video was called Pemberley by citrus mint designs I think. I have their newer one called Emma on bolts ready to make into kits, hopefully soon! Take care Tracy, I hope you get your sewing mojo back soon 🌸
When using spray baste, I have found that it sticks better if I spray the fabric instead of the batting. 💖🌞🌵😷

Thank you Suzi. I did both actually, sprayed it on the backing and sprayed it on the batting for the top layer. The pressing afterwards worked so well 🌸
Hi Emma, thanks for your lovely video. You have such a nice calm manner. I'm just doing an EPP sofa quilt and a cross stitch picture for my daughter, which I started 20 years ago when she was 11. She's now 32!! I look forward to your videos, but I've not seen all of your last ones yet. Thank you.😊

Thank you for the video. All your makes are lovely. I think a certain little boy would like a penguin reading book cushion to go with the quilt. I love the embroidery on the purse.

Oh, what a gorgeous penguin quilt, and what an adorable reaction from your son! ❤ Yes, very important to have things on the go just for fun. I remember one of the very first, if not the very first, of your videos I saw was one where you expressed how stitching helped your mental health and how it helped you to be calm. Never lose that, dear Emma. I hope to make your larger house pouch /holder when it comes out, but I will wait for as long as it takes for the pattern making process to complete. So look after yourself, Emma. I'm sure I'm not the only one who drooled at your Jane Austen quilt box😂 And that Embroidered Crochet book - I have just bought that book!!! I want to make the mushroom bunting first, or maybe the triangular woodland creatures one😂 Love your crocheted basket - and recognised the embroidery from the book - looks even nicer in real life - you've done it beautifully. So thanks for another lovely chatty catch-up. Lots of love xo

So glad you enjoyed seeing everything in the video, and I’m glad you have the book, isn’t it lovely! Yes you are right that sewing helps my mental health, I must always remember how important that is. Thanks so much for watching 🌸
This quilt is so cute 😊

The beauty of QAYG is that you can finish it at any stage and carry on whenever you feel like! Because the edges are always finished. So it could start off small as something to throw over the back or a chair, and then you could add to it in the future 🌸
Lovely stuff Emma 💖🇦🇺💖

Beautiful projects, Emma. I have both of those books on my wish list. Hopefully, Santa will bring me them! I am busy with Christmas making at the moment, I have just finished 2 knitted gnomes for gifts, and I am almost finished making a Christmas table runner. I really do want to get back to my quilt as you go quilt, though. Hopefully, I will have that finished next year 🤞

You’ll have to show me your gnomes in the next zoom Julie, I would love to see them, they sound adorable! 🌸
I wanted to do the Jane Austen coverlet too! Really excited to watch you piece it
Fun to catch up with you! So impressed with your many talents! Penguin quilt is adorable! I favor less rather than more quilting myself. Take care and see you in your next video!

Yes I’m in the less quilting camp too. I like more in show quilts that go on walls but for a snuggle quilt I think less works well. Thanks for watching 🌸
Love the penguin quilt Emma and great to have a catch up with all your beautiful projects!🥰Here is unseasonably warm, up to 17 degrees some days. It’s been better weather in September than July/August, but I’m looking forward to lighting the fire & working on some projects when the weather isn’t so good😊

Hello Emma, the Penguin quilt is so adorable 💖🥰 All of your work is just perfect. Best wishes to you and yours. Bty..I, too, have purchased the Sense and Sensibility kit for a project for next year. I love the house block and all of the fabrics in the line.

Hi Emma, I love the penguin quilt. It’s so beautiful. I am a massive Jane Austen fan too! I am working on the Sense and Sensibility quilt right now! I made the centre Barton Cottage block and started working on the surrounding blocks. I love the fabrics of the era too. I do have the Jane Austen coverlet kit which is next to do for me. I have heard from people who made it that it’s quite challenging to make. Can’t wait to see your quilt.
