Please don't judge too harshly the person who yelled enough already! at your bingo night. Chances are they were having a sensory overload moment due to some psychological or medical condition. They might have had to screw up their courage to come out to a gathering like that. If you do have an opportunity to see them again, you might find a gentle way to suggest that noise cancelling ear protection might help them enjoy community gatherings more comfortably.
Thank you for the inspiration Jeri! I ended up making a wonky lap quilt to keep in our travel van!
My gingers were $10 in the 1980's and the pinking sheers came with them
Just wanted to ssy good morning( morning in england)
I love the sound of the book you mentioned; I will see if the library has it. Thank you for another enjoyable video too! 💕😊
Cutting would be so much faster with a rotating mat.
Hey Jeri! thanks so much for this video. love watching you create this quilt in real time. i'm picking up lots of tips from you. so glad that you found your way back to KZread and you are finding it supportive of your journey. linda from California
I love watching and listening to you. Your ideas and project inspire me. The quilt is beautiful. I’m a sewer and if I don’t sit right my shoulders hurt, please watch how you sit in front of the sewing machine I don’t want you to hurt yourself. Please forgive my if I’ve said something I shouldn’t have I’m very sorry I would never say anything to hurt you or anyone
I just love the baby quilt, pink and green are my favourite colours by far. The block also is an old favourite, I made two wall quilts using this block and my hand dyed fabrics about twenty years or maybe more ago. But, this one with pink and green, it makes my heart happy and makes me want to make one of them too. You ask us to just play, but my body wants me to sleep more and my hands and feet are so so sore now with Neuropathy (thanks Covid in February) that I’m flat out getting a full hour’s creative work done a day. I’ve been disabled for about 20 years now, and I’m not complaining really, I’m usually positive not bitter, it’s just so lonely here in my further disability.
I've got 3 of those DMC boxes.
That baby quilt. ❤ Beautiful! Love the colors!
This baby quilt is amazing. I love it. The old guy at the Bingo is just a party pooper. Someone has to always rain on your parade. So enjoy your videos I am so glad I found you and look forward to seeing your videos. I also started watching k3n she has some good stuff too. I love listening to books while I’m quilting or hand stitching or knitting because I love to read but have got so many things I want to do and just sitting and reading is gotten to be I don’t want to do when I can listen and do something else too. Thank you for sharing ❤
Right?! I love audible! Or you can get audio books from the library. And thank you for agreeing with me on the cranky man. They canceled our Bingo for Friday and added a Trivia game…. I’m wondering if it had anything to do with what happened?!
I get a lot of my auto books from the library. I like free. 😊Have fun with the Trivia 😂
Just added to my wish list “How to fly a horse “. Listened to preview sounds fascinating. Thank you for recommending.
Hope you enjoy it! 💜
Always learning. Always grateful. 💖💖💖
Always! 💜 Thank you for being here! 💜
Yes, in Hobby Lobby the last -last- time looking for a coupon, it was “We are no longer offering coupons.” Did I mention “last” time?
Oh them too! It was Michaels for me... They are just going to loose customers. I mean usually the coupons were good for one item, and we paid full price for the rest because we were there. Foolish move on their part. 💜
What a interesting video, a little bit of wonderful ideas , you are very easy to listen to , thanks
So nice of you Thank you for listening Cathie! 💜
Yes to the "How to make a KZread channel"
Good! I'll do my best! 💜
@@JeriBellini My name is Sherry Conte and I'm the one who sent you the email about how to start a KZread channel. Thanks so much
quilts always take me longer to make than I think they will!
Isn't that the truth! 💜💜💜
I came across your channel today and have been binge watching. I love your channel and everything you make. I’ve done a little slow stitch and love how relaxing it is. You have given me so many ideas now that I can try. ❤
Welcome!! I'm SO glad you're here! 💜💜💜
Cool Jeri 🐞🐞🐞
Thanks Lala! 💜
dawn Collins, artist from California, got me here...not a stitcher , more an advocate, & her summer project inspired by you, is as fun on paper with ink & paint as needle & thread...dittos to comments on loss & found creative outlets from inside out.
Glad you're here, Dawn is one of my moderators in my FB group. 💜
I've used t-shirts or plastic grocery bags. But this is genius! TFS. Video shared. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞
Thanks Lala! 💜
Beautiful basket👍🧡
Thank you so much 😊 💜
My Dr said dont fall. So I am working on that. Let's stitch❤
Love that! 🤣 Lets! 💜
They're beautiful! ❤
Thanks Stephanie, I made thousands of them! So easy and look great on things now, like journals and even baskets! 😂 💜💜💜
This is a great idea. I'd love to have a go at it. I'm wondering -- have you tried runningba head of glue down the inner cord & wrapping, say, 5 or 6 yards ahead so that you can sew a couple of coils before wrapping again? I ask because I'm looking for a hand project to do while watching tv in bed. I don't think I can handle the glueing part in my lap.
That's a great idea. I'd wrap a little, then glue a little, then wrap then a few dots of glue... I don't see why that wouldn't work! 💜
Hey, great technique for joining the pieces. Hadn't seen that before.
Glad it was helpful! 💜💜💜
I can definitely see myself making one of these. Thanks,Jeri.
Go for it! 💜💜💜
I have just spent a most marvelous day watching your videos. My head is whirling with so many ideas. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity. I love your wonderful dots. Very inspiring. Jx ❤
Wow, thank you! I"m so happy you enjoyed them! 💜💜💜
Jeri, I'm so glad you shared your thoughts and what you said really hit home with me. I don't have ADHD but I have auditory processing disorder, sensory issues and have struggled all my life including chronic health problems-lots of surgeries since the age of 4 and through my adulthood. There isnt a day that goes by I'm not in pain. I too get easily overwhelmed among other things. I'm in my late forties and I've noticed as I get older, things are reappearing I fought years to overcome or manage-if you will. I work hard to take it day by day, hour by hour. Art and creating has been a tremendous help in so many ways. I post videos on KZread of some of my creative endeavors and have gotten a few very unkind and rude comments from people. Especially about my talking-which I struggle with because of my APD. I wish people would be kinder to each other and be peaceful. This world needs it so much. Your kindness, videos, creativity, projects and everything you share are a blessing and I'm sure to so many feel the same way. I was thrilled to discover you and your channel. Thank you for all you do to bring joy and inspiration in so many lives. Hugs! ❤
And Stephanie! I visited your channel and it's wonderful! I especially LOVE your baskets and one of these days want to make one. Have been wanting to try my hand at a vessel FOR EVER! I'll definetly link to you when I do... You're so talented! Don't let the poopy people spoil it for you girl! 💜💜💜
@@JeriBellini Hi, Jeri! That is so cool! Thank you. They are a blast to make! I've got more videos coming up soon on more ideas how to make them. Also boxes and different shapes of vessels. I do a lot of stumpwork embroidery and terrain with embroidery and mixed media so I'm going to show how to incorporate that as well. I love making scrappy snippet rolls and a fellow stitcher and lovely lady Darlene Winter @DWinters58 here in KZread showed how she makes her snippet baskets by folding the snippets. I was inspired by that to come up with my scrappy snippet bowls, pots and boxes with lots of stitches and it grew from there. I recently was asked if I would make different shapes so that is on the list! Darlene explains how she makes hers on her channel at the request of a few of us last year in a stitch group we had together called The Ugly Stitch Club. She was so gracious to share her process. The gorgeous dot blocks you make has given me a idea that I was going to reach out to you about it soon and ask you what you think. I need to make it first and show you before anyone sees it. Lol I give credit where credit is due and your art is an inspiration and had me thing about a scrappy collage of sorts for making the dots-from a fabric master board. Still working it out in my head. And thank you for your encouraging words. I vowed this time around that I won't give up making KZread videos no matter what!
Thanks for sharing, I will try this 😊
Great, have fun! 💜
Love this, thank you 😊❤️
You are so welcome! 💜
Thanks so much for sharing your mom’s TShirt blocks. I recently lost my little sister. Was given some of her clothes. A lot I donated bc they didn’t fit and felt overwhelmed but saved a few. Love this idea and especially how to use T-shirts other than the usual tshirt block. Also I’m feeling better about my style choice…it’s denim and tshirts too! ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss.... Sounds like you saved some wonderful pieces of her clothing. Sending hugs to you, 💜
I really needed to hear this today. I have Lyme Disease and have to do routines also to get my inflamed body going in yhe morning. You encouraged me because alot of times just getting animals tended to and husband out the door can sidetrack me from what I need to do to make the day successful. Your talk puts me back in focus. Thank you Jeri❤
You are so welcome, please don't overlook yourself, you will be of no use to anything. What's that they say if you're going down in a plane, put your own mask on first! 💜💜💜💜💜
Love this project, Jeri❣️ I have tightly crocheted or knitted baskets with fabric strips, even some flat pieces like placemats, chair mats, and small rugs. BUT...I'm wondering what you think about laundering these types of fabric pieces. What's been your experience with coiled pieces made with fabric wound around cord? Thank you.
I've washed my rugs in the washing machine, however the things that are wrapped around a coil/cord, I would not immerse, I would wipe them off with a damp rag. If something really disgusting fell on it I would swish it around in warm soapy water and let drip dry outside. 💜
Awesome blossom KZread Friend Jeri. Confession...I was making my teddy bear overalls while you were chit chatting and knowledge expanding us. x's lj
Hey LJ, make a little basket for your teddy! 💜💜💜
I know that both Jeri (on this channel)and Kathryn (on her channel at k3n) have both explained and demonstrated plying fabric strips into yarn for cordage, basketry etc. This is essentially what spinning wheels do with plyed wool. So, I'm wondering if anyone has tried plying fabric strips on their wheels? I loved plying wool on mine, so I'm gonna give it a try if i can get strips small enough. This wrap technique is also fun, which I have done with yarn of all sorts, and have used "rafia" cord as the base/foundation. There arent enough hours in the day....❤
What an interesting question and one that has my mind going in so many directions! 💜💜💜
Right now, I'm hand twining TShirt material because of its tendancy to curl in on itself, making for very round "smooth" cord. Also anchoring cord to a very thick ethafoam base with T pins, allow both hands to twist the materials together. (Ethafoam is used as packing material, and is more pliable than the old Styrofoam). Wrapping the twisted cord around the ethafoam base as I go, will also allow me to handle the yardage I hope to make, and helps keep things relatively taut and out of the way. The wheel has yet to come into the picture...lol.
I made .... and still have .... one of these baskets. I made it in the early 80's .... FLASHBACK !!!!
Isn't it intersting how ideas just keep recycling! Love that! 💜💜💜
Thank you! I have some leftover jelly rolls that I will use for this. You are so clever! Blessings.
Great way to use them up! 💜💜💜
K3N sent me! ❤
Love that woman! Glad you're here! 💜💜💜
Brilliant thank you ❤😊x
You’re welcome 😊 💜
I think the needle maybe a “chenille”
OH! Good to know! 💜
Love the wave, it makes me laugh ❤️
Thank you!! 💜💜💜💜
Hi Jer, how cute is this? Totes adorbes I think the kids say? 😁❤️
While youre wrapping the fabric around the fiber cord, it seems like the ball of "yarn" should be being passed around the cord as you proceed, yet i don't see the ball? Are you using individual strips and securing them as tou go? I cant tell ...
I cut off a length of "yarn" but you could pass the ball around too if you didn't want to cut it off. I like the little knots from adding new pieces. Thanks for watching! 💜
Wow. That bag is a unique masterpiece. I am so impressed with your patience and artistic talent. I absolutely love it❤️
Thank you so much! I want to make another one, I love making these patches! 💜
Love it. made rag rugs with it so awesome 😊
Yes, I have so many of these rugs in my house. I was trying to use up my quilting cotton as I like to use recycled now. 💜
That basket is adorable 🥰
Thanks, it is so cute holding my Orts! 💜
Huh, I never heard of fiber cord before. Cheap Engineer in me probably would go with rope. 😊
Ha! Yes, you could use rope, it's just not as pliable. 💜
I love it Jerri.
Thank you Dawn! 💜
