I needed a break from my machine, so I'll join you with some hand stitching.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your voice! Cindy (Saska friend's) from Little Rock Ar
ReplyDeleteYes, there is sound.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your voice! Cindy (Saska friend's) from Little Rock Ar
ReplyDeleteHehe, had to laugh when you asked if we were sewing or doing something, not just watching you. Yes, I'm mindlessly watching you! And...I have a new Bernina that I am yet to play with! Ok, ok, off to start her up!
ReplyDeleteSound is working, wanna come to Florida and help me organize my sewing room, I am soo overwhelmed. My mom and I were both quilters and fabriholics, she passed away in Jan and I am overwhelmed in fabric, tools, books and patterns. I am planning on giving some to our quilting friends, but we never got the sewing room unpacked after the move before she died.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear @ your Mom passing. Hope you are doing ok and that you start to get the energy you need so you are no longer overwhelmed. Hang in there!
DeleteI'm working on my hexies while I watch!! Cynthia in SC,
ReplyDeleteHave sound. Tell us about that large cone of thread.
ReplyDeletePaula in KY
I<3 the quilt cam!
ReplyDeleteIts funny hearing you sew while I blog and stuff. Now Im on a tweet chat with quilters from around the world-#talknt (Talking Tuesdays). And listening to you sew! LOL
ReplyDeleteGo Bonnie Go! LOL
ReplyDeletesure I would use anything old or new fabric in the mix!
ReplyDeleteHeather
Finally caught up with you while you were sewing. The sound works great! So nice to get to sew with you Bonnie...still on my bucket list to do it in person one day!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! First time I checked it out.
ReplyDeleteThe sound is fine for me here in Abq.NM. There's about 160 viewers currently. Guess we're engrossed with your speedy sewing and no one is taking time to comment. Thx for tips.
ReplyDeleteAnita in Abq.
When will you start your next mystery?
ReplyDeletePeggy in NJ
I absolutely love MASSAGE music..next time I get one, think I'll ask if they sell the CDs..so relaxing!!
ReplyDelete"...An awesome quilt in my mind..." Those quilts in your mind seem to come out pretty awesome in real life, too.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have someone to talk to while you're sewing. I'm in the basement like you, and DH is upstairs, so I usually just talk to myself! Sue K
ReplyDeleteI've got sound, too! Now I know what they were talking about with your chain piecing - WAY COOL - butting them up like that - and I see how you just pick one and sew it on. Please tell us about the jar underneath the spool holder on the wall - ;))
ReplyDeleteAre all of your fabrics the same quality or weight? If not do you worry about how your quilt will "shape" up? Will it make a difference in the machine quilting? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJulie in Minnesota
I hope you live cam some time when you're cutting fabric strips. I think that would be cool! (saw the video on slicing up the shirts)
ReplyDeletehey girl - thanks so much for moving the camera - can see you so great now - love the way you have set it up. and you just mentioned Barry M. I love him also !!!!! how funny.
ReplyDeleteoh, hello hello Bonnie - I'm sewing along... Kathleen from California!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh!!! Did I just hear the most prolific quilter I have ever seen grumble about working on a Hexie's for 13 yrs! ROFLOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI had the biggest crush on Barry when I was a teenager! Glad to hear I'm not the only Barry Manilow fan! :o)
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteThis is hysterical! it's great to hear your voice too! You should be doing those pink and green NI zigzags!
ReplyDeleteI know you enjoy reading - have you tried audible books for your I-pod - I love to listen to books while I sew.
ReplyDeleteHi from Melody and me! Erie's tuned in. BTW... my shirt fabric was pre-washed :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Bonnie - sometime will you walk around and show us how you store your quilts, show us your stash, what is in the cabinets and drawers ??? It would be great to have the backstage tour!! Thanks so much for doing this - what great fun it is to get to know you this way! thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello Bonnie, very nice to hear and see you! I'm watching you from Taiwan where it is morning now.
ReplyDelete"Take It Easy" Love the Eagles!
ReplyDeleteHi from Melody and me...Erie's tuned in! Btw...my shirt fabruc was pre-washed
ReplyDeleteChuckling...I just finished a jellyroll race top and am half ways done pressing Just took a break and was glad to see you doing the same thing with strip sets. Suzanne in Maine
ReplyDeleteHello......from Melbourne, Australia, I should be doing the housework but this so much more fun. Recently received my book, thanks so much. Annette
ReplyDeleteThis is way cool. Having a terrible storm, so just sitting here watching you sew and iron on the cam. My husband thinks I've lost my mind. Little does he know..
ReplyDeleteGail in Verona VA
I love Irish music ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie. Working on hexies right now. Love your music! Thanks for all of the inspiration. Faith
ReplyDeleteHow do you crosscut the strips you have sewed together on the accuquilt? I am enjoying watching someone getting some sewing done! Thanks for the insight. Laura from Indiana
ReplyDeleteMy mom made my baby clothes from feed sacks! They held up well - through me and my sister AND some through even my two daughters. Dad claimed I had a new dress every day! Mom loved to sew.
ReplyDeleteGotta tell you Bonnie... I wasn't sure I would like the "quilt cam" but this is great! I don't feel so lonely in my room while I'm sewing... So thanks for keeping me company!
ReplyDeleteJust switched to watch you on my smart phone so I can move back into my sewing room. Love hearing you talk/answer questions, but I would probably forget what I was doing if I tried that. I'm working on making some Yo-Yos - I need to cut more circles.
ReplyDeleteI think the main reason to see the fabric cutting would be to learn proper folding so we don't get those wonky strip centers. Side view would be fine for that, maybe?!?!?
ReplyDeleteBonnie, you won't be able to sew in your jammies when you web cam, will you?
ReplyDeleteGail in Verona, VA
Bonnie, loved this web cam thing - I am really enjoying it. BTW loved your thoughts about the "quality" of fabric - you're soooo right, women used what they had on hand to make quilts, and they better for it. BTW, what's the writing on your chair?
ReplyDeleteBonnie, loving watching you all the way from Melbourne Australia. Like my own little class, but with someone I feel I know.
ReplyDeleteI am cracking myself...I have a tablet that mounts to my long arm....so you are riding on my long arm as I work on melody's quilt.
ReplyDeleteHow do you fit your tablet to your longarm?
DeleteYou only seem to have one speed. High! Do you ever slow down?
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie. So good to see you. Could you share Mikie's blog address?
ReplyDeleteStill scrapping along in SC. Liz
Bonnie, Thank you for sharing. Really neat. I never would have thought this was possible. I moved from Alaska last year back to Arkansas. I miss my quilting buddies so badly. Almost like being at a retreat. Thanks again Melody
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I joined in for half an hour to catch up on my backlog of pressing...tonight I'm sewing. Finished 6 friendship quilt blocks (3 for me, 3 for my friend). Thanks for the inspiration to sew on a worknight, even for just a little while. Time for me to bring the laptop back downstairs.
Megan in Ontario
What's your husband doing while you sew? I would have a hard time sewing at night because that's when hubby is home.
ReplyDeleteTerry from LA
Thinking of taming my scrap stash by cutting into strips to store...what width of strips do you find most used? I am a beginner :-) Venessa
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie
ReplyDeleteI too am canning tomatoes!!!!! And I really do feel like I Amon the jetsons.
I love,this and I love being online with you.
Thanks
Deb
Enjoyin your "show". My 16 yr old son asked what you were making, I explained but not very well. He's made one quilt and one quilt top. We even took quilt class together last fall. Thanks for making this possible. Dawn in St. Marys GA.
ReplyDeleteAndee (commented above) and myself have taken pictures with you via Quiltcam on the laptop! At least now I can say that I have a picture with you! :)
ReplyDeleteOnly a fellow quilter can understand the 'pull' of watching another quilter sew and press into the evening.
What kind of machine is it? I use a Singer Model 237 fashionmate. Its a good workhorse. My second favorite is my vintage Morse. It has a lot of fun cams with many different stitches. Both are circa late 60's.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see you quilting on the big machine.
ReplyDeleteSince my sewing machine isn't in the same room as the computer, I am walking on the treadmill we just purchased. It doesn't seem so bad to tread while I am watching you. Nancy from Kansas
ReplyDeletewith your camera, could you give us a tour of your studio sometime? Just ironed my binding for the quilt on my frame while watching you sew.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, thanks so much for mentioning the Northern Star Quilter's Guild Somers Quilt Show!! We loved having you here with us!! Are your ears ringing? We're still talking about you! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteBonnie you just reminded me of my mother she was a flower arranger and "always add yellow its the sunshine" was what I heard millions of times
ReplyDeleteWoot! I've been practically tapping my foot while waiting for company to leave... Phew, they left before quilt cam shut down for the night. Sew, sew cool to watch you working away.
ReplyDeleteBTW, one guest did comment on the spider web on my wall, started while I was at your workshop in DE this past spring!
Thank you for all you do for the quilting world.
Peace and Joy.
Robin
Was going to sew on my treadle machine today and got out the book to thread it and the lady in the picture had a dress on and clunky high heels. No doubt if I could see all of her she would have been wearing pearls too. I decided I wasn't dressed proper for sewing on the treadle.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt police were one of the reasons I never really finished a quilt from all the block swaps I did in the early 90s. I learned to quilt online but the locals were so militant! I love the modern easy going supportive movement! Its fun to sew along with you! Im in Lewisville making string blocks on my old ikea catalog pages.
ReplyDeletewhat color Aurafil do you use?
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, I am enjoying you tonight. I have a question about hexes. I have been using bottom line to stich them. It's great because it is so fine and doesn't show, but it is so slippery that it is difficult to work with. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sherry
ReplyDeleteBonnie, do you feel like a bunch of people are staring at you? We are! lol This is really cool....like having your own tv show (without all the extra production expenses!) Do you eat and/or drink anything while you are working? I haven't seen you do that.Sally in SC
ReplyDeleteThis is so very neat to be able to watch and hear you! It's like going over for a visit! Thanks for doing this, it's just too much fun and very informative!
ReplyDeleteMary in Texas
Watched quilt cam while I was making dinner. My 404A was having a similar problem. I took the bobbin case out and cleaned and still had the problem so took the bobbin case out again and turned it over and there in a crevice was a big pad of lint. Cleaned that out and voila fixed.
ReplyDeleteNorth East,Pa is tuned in too. This is so much fun! Thanks! Pauline
ReplyDeleteLefthandedquilter,how did you view a recap of Bonnies Web Cam, I would love to see her working on projects.
ReplyDeleteThanks

I just signed up for your classes in McKinney, Tx in January. I'll share a machine with you when you come to McKinney. Dian
ReplyDeleteI'm sewing and my husband is putting thread stands on the wall while we listen to you. I'm putting together 9-patches to make a Halloween themed quilt. It is my second one, and I'm starting to cut down & toss in scrap blocks and left=overs to make 9 inch squares. Or just strips that fit.
