Do you have something to work on too? A binding? Some cutting out? Some straightening up of the cutting table and clearing of the ironing board so you can find it?
Why not come and join me!
I'll stop and scan the comments below and answer your questions as I go along. I can't answer them all, or I wouldn't get ANY sewing done, but I'll read them randomly and we'll have a really good time!
I'm going to leave the QuiltCam up for about an hour or so----
*Note* If it says OFFLINE below -- you missed it! It's live streaming, not a recording, so you can't play it back like re-runs, you'll just have to join us next time!

yes....sound!
Hi from Lynn in Florida...can't believe you are HERE the night before you leave for Bali! You're just too much! Don't stay up too late now, y'hear?
The word is flying around on FB! Sound A+
Oh yes you have sound. LOL
I have sound on my laptop.
Hello Bonnie, I am here continuing to work on "My Blue Heaven. Didn't we have fun ironing on the patio in Wellsboro? Donna from PA
My DIL has a speckled glasstop stove and she says it is hard to clean. She says she won't ever have another one.
Hi Bonnie,
Yes there is sound - loud and clear here on Long Island!
Bonnie - what brand iron are you using? I need to replace my soon - so I'd be interested to hear from you.
Betty
Wow! I finally get to tune in! Mom's health is failing so I'm with her 5 nights a week with no internet! Glad to see you in action!
Bonnie you need to hire a stripper to strip for you. LOL
Sewing with you again Bonnie! Will so miss you while you are in Bali! Have a great trip!
Hi Bonnie,
This is Carol from Maryland...Thanks for sharing your blogs and info with all of us!!!!
I know that you use a longarm, but what is your opinion of spray basting a quilt? ramona from Maine
Hi Bonnie,
I just ordered a dry iron without holes from Amazon. $14.95 I think. I started using it today. Reminds me of my mother's old black iron we used years ago. Love watching you on Quilt Cam!
Kathy
Bonnie are you going to be at the Minnesota quilt show?
Linda from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Hello again from New Zealand. Glad to catch you again.
From Helen
Hey Bonnie! I'm sitting here working on my yo-yo's, which is going to be my jubilee project. I wish I could sew but I've just moved to Tampa and the place is so small that I have to set up, sew and then put everything away. Sometimes its not worth it!! I love sitting here working and visiting with you!! Have fun in Bali!
Hi, Bonnie,
My first time tuning in. This is a great idea! Motivates me to sew along with you.
Enjoy Bali!
Brenda
Just finished a little "Twist n' Turn quilt - too cute - can't wait to make a bigger one - only going to sit and watch you for awhile since my project for this evening is a small quilt that has been on the longarm for few days waiting for me to get the courage to start it ...
Sue in Aloha, Oregon
I blame Andee (and you in a round-about way) for what I'm working on. "Hawaii Sunset 1845" units; 600 flying geese units (1.75"x3"). Both Andee and I admit that we probably would NEVER have attempted this quilt had we not finished off a couple of your mysteries!
So, I feel a little "Bonnie-like" tonight.... the same fabrics for 36 blocks at a time...
Hi Bonnie,
Its Carol from Maryand again! I am almost finished a Card Tricks quilt in different shades of Purples, my favorite color!!!
I want to make a black/white/red quilt - scrappy of course
Sue, Aloha, OR
Hi Bonnie
Good sunday nite to you. I just purchased a Singer 185K. I love the stitch it makes but it is lound and sound a little bit clunky. How does your 185 sew? I wonder it the more I use it the quiter it will sew.
Bonnie T in Virginia
My niece asked for international orange and neon lime green for her graduation gift. I collect pieces for a long time. It came out beautiful - surprised me. Have a great time in Bali, maybe next time I'll be able to go.
Quilt colors: I'm putting stuff aside fo a gold/yellow/orange modern quilt. I have several thrifted shirts that will fit right in!
I took your class in Columbus and loved every minute, but it's currently languishing while I finish some more immediate suff.
This is my 1st time catching you on the cam... nice as I'm inmy sewing room too.
Just tuned in, been watching downto abbey reruns, hope i havent missed much. Caught color combo ideas... Well, ive been collecting civil war purple color fabrics. That pretty dusty grape,etc. Anyway, want to make a quilt with those. Maybe mix with golden beiges,etc. I dont know....
Have a wonderful trip.
Hi Bonnie, love quilt cam... I am busy quilting on my RRCB!
Kate in california
Hi Bonnie,
How many days will you be in Bali? I am envious.
Hi yes, Helen here again in NZ, yes we are coming to the end of winter. And yes, in 2016 you can come and stay with me in Wellington and visit my quilt guild. The flight is only 3 1/2 hours from Sydney or Brisbane or Melbourne. Where will you be in Australia? That would be awesome. It is Monday at 12.30 and I am home sick so sneaking on the webcam to watch you. I am a new quilter so i am learning lots from you. Thanks so much.
s.h.malanchak@paradise.net.nz
Bonnie, have you ever considered teaching an on-line class?
Hi Bonnie,
Greetings from Prince Edward Island. I am so excited, I just bought myself my very first featherweight.
I love mine. I bought glasstop stove cleaner at Lowe's that works really well!
I bought two kinds-one was a thick liquid that you put on and let it soak. Then there's a spray you can use for quick clean ups. I also use a single sided razor blade when I burn things on it.
Watching again tonight. Ray (aka Mr Fluff n Fold) is in Alaska catching me some halibut, so I've been sewing lots. AND pulling old UFOs out to give away - it feels great!
Have fun in Bali!
Hi Bonnie,
My 11 year old son just came to The Girl Cave to say goodnight and first thing he asks is "How's Bonnie tonight? Is she still working on that border?" Guess you are reaching a new generaton!
sharon
Hi Bonnie - you have almost 300 viewers tonight - i love the feedback and tips and inspiration - keep up the good work - we'll miss you while you're in Bali - have fun!!
Hi Bonnie,
Watching your QuiltCam for the first time tonight so I've missed a lot of your quilting.
A couple questions: can you tell us what you are sewing on now?
And can you tell me about the "Quilt!" picture above your machine?
Betty in Virginia
Hi,
How is the tickness of the tangerine prairie cloth (fabri-quilt inc.), is it the same tickness of kona cotton?
Carole from Canada
Jody, that is a great idea! Bonnie, I only just heard of Craftsy. I'm looking forward to learning more about it. An online course would be great for those of us who aren't lucky enough to sit in on one of your "real-life" classes.
Thought I'd join you again tonight. Today I'm working on bindings. I have a 1600/jelly roll quilt -- won't do one of those again -- and Fun with Bricks. Thanks for the great pattern -- used up a bunch of precut bricks!
Bonnie...Busied with you when you came to Pkainfield, IL. when will info be available on the Alaska cruise. I've gone on one before and had a super fun time!
Sharon
Andrea in Canada here. Just finished my 20th square for the basket-weave strings! Also have come up with an idea to finish that 12 year old project. You laughed last night when I said I wasn't going to start anything new until everything is caught up - just wanted you to know I have finished sixteen things so far this year! (Okay, ten were wall hanging or table toppers, but still they are done!) Two more are waiting til Tuesday so I can layer them on a big table at church, and I waited at LEAST six months to start the basket weaves, and I only started that because there was nothing left to just sit and sew on. Once I plan out the rest of the 12 year old stars I will use the basket weave as leader-enders.

Anyone watching on a Kindle Fire? Can one watch on a Fire? Says I am logged in but black screen. Sewing on Great Granny Squares and reading comments.
whoops problems leaving comment, have to say your machine collection is eye candy. I was antiquing on the weekend and tripped across a Singer 28 1914 hand crank with Victorian Decals. Found in a country antiques/ second hand place nearly 3 hours from home- very pretty so how could I leave it there?
Do you know where to source replacements shuttles though? Mine is a bit damaged on the tension spring.

I've been stuck on turquoise, seafoam, blue, and greens since my trip to Hawaii..picked up 80 fat batiks and a big bag of batik strings at a sale Aug 1, then opened the new Quiltmaker and fell in love with the batil paperpieced string leaf quilt..can't wait to get started!! Chris in Augusta GA
Hi Bonnie! I am sewing along with ya tonight as a last fling before school starts in the morning. I teach middle school and the kids will be there for the first day tomorrow. I will still get to sew, just not as much as during the summer. I'm enjoying the quilting party with you!
Julie in Valley, Alabama
Hey Bonnie
I manger to sew quite a. It on my 1920 singer 128 today. I emailed you regarding the shuttle Bobbin. I am going to go.p into the dealer to get him to show me how to thread it. Do you sew with shuttle? I love the perfect quarter inch. She is I. Such good condition I want to use her. By the way, I named her Ava.
Have a safe journey
Deb
ooooppppppsssss!!! black screen - HELLO BONNIE!!!
Hi Bonnie--Here we are sewing togeher again this evening. I love your Quilt Cam, it really encourages me to continue working on My Blue Heaven. Finished all the Puss blocks and am starting on the Star Blocks. I love that I'm sewing in CT and I hear you read a comment from my daughter Sharon in RI in her Girl Cave, it's like she and I are sewing together.
OK you're back - good - hey - will you be able to show us your Mai Tai's in Paradise!!! - I'm wanting to start that one with batiks! and would love to see your border.
So, how are we going to survive without you for two weeks? Maybe we all need to get together on a ustream feed and have pictures of you next to our machines :o) Stay safe, have a great trip!!
Bonnie
I am as of last night. Are you teaching in Bali?
I have two friends coming to your workshop in Eastern Kentucky, Shepherdsville, I think. They are SEW excited. Are there any openings left for that workshop???
Well you did it again, motivated me to make 4 more 6" string blocks. They are from scraps left from cutting a quilt Im in the middle of a class for making. Im going to sew them together now to make a 2nd block.
Well, still not sewing, but I'm watching while a knit!
Hey Bonnie,
Beth from Cape Breton ,Nova Scotia here . I'm so happy to be joining you again tonight :) I get so much done watching you iron & sew and talk to us ..I just had to see if you would be here again tonight . I was so glad you are even though I know you have to go to Bali. I'm sewing the bindings on one of the Novelty bungalow quilts already. Thanks for keeping me sewing .
9:o7 EST great elevator music during the intermission. Loving this time with you while I hand piece a red white and blue log cabin. Suzanne in Maine
OK - Bonnie - while you are in Bali I will plan on getting my "Jared Takes A Wife" quilt done and quilted! - what will the rest of you stalkaratzies going to be doing while Bonnie is gone.....
OK, I have noticed the big white round thing behind your sewing machine.....is THAT a spool of thread???
I'm going to watch your second half and rip out some blocks I decided I don't like. It's mostly the order the fabrics are in, so I will still use the pieces. Now why on earth did I make that many dumb looking blocks?
Hi Bonnie: Just a suggestion.... Maybe we can do a link up when you get back to show you what we made while you where in Bali. Sort of a Bonnie show and tell. I think that would be great fun.
I am getting so much more done from watching you at night. Worked on Orca Bay today. Still struggling with stretching. Starched the life out of the pieces today.
Have a good Trip!!!
I'm here on the west coast of vancouver island and I Can't believe I finally checked in when you are here, although you'll be right back........Great fun. Should get back to making supper; hope to sew later.
Pressing 128 seams open... about half way done. Cannot imagine how exciting it would be to be going to Bali! Bali Bali Bali!
Have you seen "Bride & Prejudice"? Bollywood movie based on Pride & Prejudice, I digress, it's just the Bali Bali Bali got me going!
I'm thrilled to be able to watch you again tonite. I'm sewing the rows together for a red and brown Smith Mountain Morning. It is stunning. Thank you for the pattern.
I just checked in and you were reading my comment, too funny. Have a great trip to Bali...wish I could go.
Watched you last night and pulled out RRCB to put a hurtin' on those string blocks. Almost done, thanks for the motivation!!
I am taking a break from sewing and pressing the last of my 188 sixteen patches made from leftover inch and a quarter strips. Once these are trimmed to their three and a half inch size I can cut out the background pieces. Glad I have finally caught a live feed, its fun.
Are you doing a another mystery like orca bay in the near future.
Maria. Have a safe trip. If you get a chance, please show how you mark and sew the green squares on the pink rectangles. Thanks.
didn't you like the 1600 quilt? I led our guild in a 1600 race last year and we all loved it.. some of us even went on and did another one after the group project.
I had sound before the intermission and now I have no sound.
Thank you for reminding me to take the laundry out of the washer and put it in the dryer. I forgot! Here are the blocks I sewed with you. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8445/7819855498_9dfddde52b_m.jpg
Hi Bonnie! I cant believe we are both here at the same time! luv this! My cat's favorite place is on the quilt I am working on. If I am pressing, she is too, if I knock her off the table, she sits on the end of the quilt dragging on the floor. she also sits on the quilt while i am sewing on the machine...right behind the needle! thx for all you do!
Put your UFO's in a pretty box with a name of a friend on the label, then they will think you were making something just for them. No more guilt about so many ufo's, they will go onto the next quilter! Nancy from Kansas

Sherry
Rochester, NY
Hooray! I've got sound!
I love Bricks & Stepping stones !!! I have made 8 so far . Great quick quilt . These were perfect for my brothers as gifts and I gave the others to charity .
Bonnie......what's the best way to get motivated wen you don't have a Longarm. I hate machine quilting it's no throatspac...imdiscouraged you make me smile...LAURIE IN GEORGIA
Can't believe how productive I've been the past week while watching you. Finished 3 blankets for Project Linus and starting a new one tonight. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Arlette in NY
Question about Accuquilt. How much cutting time has it saved you. I have the Go and just bought a few more dies. Which dies are your favorites.
Stephanie Newman here in Australia! Trimming of tedious 9 patches is done and I am assembling Orca Bay that I started last year, it saved my sanity whilst I moved states. So much fun!!
Hi Bonnie,
I just signed up to take classes in Sheperdsville KY and I am not a member of the guild.
Terry in Arkansas
Did I just hear you say we're not supposed to have clutter in our sewing spaces? Uh-oh! Enjoying watching you!
Hi Bonnie...going to work on Star Struck for a little bit. Hope you have a wonderful trip to Bali!! Melody and I are saving our pennies for Alaskan Cruise!
Bonnie, I think you need a volunteer, good friend or family member to come in and read comments WHILE you sew and it wouldn't slow you down as much
Marylou in Texas
"What's that big white thing behind your sewing machine and where did you get that lamp?" LOL!
I'm surprised you haven't gotten tired of answering those and other questions several times every night. Think about posting the answers near the quilt cam where people can see them while watching you.
Betty in WV
Bonnie, could you please show the carrier that you use to take your hexie project with you? or tell us where you got it? I tried to find the photo in one of your old posts, but was unsuccessful. Thanks, Cynthia in SC
Sound here in Stamford, CT! Working on my Civil War Bride's Quilt appliqué! Love the Karen Kay Buckley scissors...the best! Have a great time in Bali! We'll try to "keep the faith" while you're gone!
Bonnie, would you ever consider showing us your bins of scraps and strings on web cam?
Hi Bonnie! I just noticed you are wearing an Alaska T-shirt so wanted to say Hi! from Delta Junction, Alaska.
Hi Bonnie, I'm sewing along with you and am working on a Blue Ridge Beauty but I'm making this in red and creams and willuse it as a Quilt of Valor. I am making it quite a bit smaller than yours - only 8 x 10 blocks plus borders. I'm a failure at working this as a leader and ender project. I get so involved with the sewing that I am now just sewing my 4 patches and HST units and then making my blocks and putting them on my design wall. I have about half the blocks done! This is sew much fun sewing with you. Have a wonderful trip - I wish I could be with you.
Bonnie,
Any chance you can tip the camera up and show us the quilt on the wall with the word "Quilt"? I'm loving being able to visit you in your sewing room without leaving my house!
My sewing room is only grand because I'm in it! lol! Don't be embarassed about your space. Your beautiful work says it all!
Enjoying you tonight with my "margarita" aka Crystal light tonight. Have a great trip wish I could come along in your suit case!
Just so you know that most of us out here suffer from CHAOS. It's nice to see that you are not so different than us, that you face the same challenges we do.
Thank you for letting 435 of your best friends check out how you organize your scraps/strings.. : )Suzanne in maine
Love your STASH!! Please tell us who makes your favorite cheddar that you buy by the bolt. Thanks so much!!
Your DJ is lovely - good you turned the camera to the string boxes!
The hexie travel case is by Timeless Totes. They have a web site. I haven't been able to find them in a shop locally.
Bonnie;
Are you going to publish a pattern for your hexie quilt?
Lynn in Davidson, NC
Bonnie, love that you are so willing to share all of the ins and outs of your sewiing space! You are a great teacher and a very generous person. Thanks for sharing! Faith
You missed the last of my comment. I suggested that you post the answers to those two questions on your blog where folks will see them when they sign in.
Love the quilt cam and will miss you while you are in Bali.
Betty in WV
Bonnie, I suffer from the CHAOS syndrome too! Maybe you should have a linky for people who are ashamed to show their space, there's safety in numbers! LOL
The bins are great! Thanks for showing them. Because of you I am starting to bust out of my smaller bins and thinking about a system to accommodate more scraps! Your studio is awesome!
Hope you post a VIDEO of that elephant ride!
Glad that I am not the only virtual shopper! I LOVED Orca Bay--mine was in green and gold and was renamed Green Bay (Go Pack Go!) but that may be my favorite of yours yet. RRCB challenged me as it was my first time doing strings. I love them now though :)
I'm shopping at MaryJo's at the moment also. Going to get some of the Prairie Cloth Tangerine. Thanks for the tip. And now will also look for something else to order also, while listening to you. really enjoying the quilt cam!
Hi Bonnie... For those who wanted you to set a schedule so they would know when you are"live". Instead , since that is beyond possible, tell them to become a Facebook fan of Wuiltville, and set their preferences to all, and then when you post they will get it in their FB feed. Easy Peasy, and no extra work for YOU!
Bonnie, I teach classes using the AccuQuilt Go! I also own the Studio and can use many of the Go! dies with it. My favorite dies are the 2 1/2 and 2 inch strips, the 3 inch finished HSTs - no waste here, and I love the Triangle in a square - the Tri-Recs tool. On smaller scraps I love using the 2" multiple die. Any waste I get I put in my crumb bins and it eventually gets used. Yesterday I did a demo using the Go! at a LQS and met Valerie from Phoenix - I was cutting my HST units and 2" squares for Blue Ridge Beauty. What fun!
Hi, when you press, do youuse steam? Joyce in Maryland.
Karen Kay Buckley on Amazon - less than $20 each. Also video by her on youtube.
Hey Bonnie, I'm really enjoying your quilt cam time. I'm hauling you out to my sewing room now....you got me through paying bills, so now we're going to putter around the sewing room!! Have a blast in Bali!!
Lori in VA.
Stephanie - contact me - I may have a spare. Di in TN diquilts@comcast.net
Show me again how you press your pink and green. Couldn't you just press both seams of the unit UP or DOWN and then just alternate the blocks? Aren't they the same unit - just one upside down?
Thanks so much for repeating the Prairie Quilts Tangerine for me!! Mary Jo's....AMAZING!!!
Are those bow tie blocks set in cheddar sitting by your iron? Love cheddar and your blocks are gorgeous!
Lynne in Hawaii...I saw 446 friends watching all at the same time! WhooHooo!
Does your husband wonder WHO you're talking to, Bonnie?!??!
LOL
LOVE your webcam, BTW!!!
Rosa in Canada
I commented on fb that I didn't think I'd be able to see you tonight cuz I was working. I got off about 6:30 pdt and turned you on on my smart phone! So I listened to you on my way home. Just got home and turned off the smart phone and now have you on my laptop! Loving it! But I missed the answers to the questions about the items behind the sewing machine! The FAQ sounds like a good idea! You are such a sport! Love you!
LOVE CHAOS!!! Story of my life! (Luckily I am not a mom or a wife, but that's beside the point!)
Cynthia Warren in metro Portland area!
I see your cheddar bow ties on the ironing board! Can we see? Nancy from Kansas
wow, this is great. I would love to buy some of your go go juice.
Because of Eleanor Burns I'm pretty fastidious about setting seams. Do you set yours?
Hi Bonnie
Do you have several of your beautiful quilts scattered around the house on beds, walls etc? Do you change them at the different seasons?
By The Way I love you lighting in your room. No shadows
Have a great evening I'm enjoying listening and watching and learning
When pressing these units, have you tried one of the smaller craft irons rather than a standard sized one?
From Di in TN: I'm so fortunate - my Longarmer presses quilts before she quilts them; even though I do press before giving them to her. And she always comments how nice and flat/even my quilts are - all done on handcranks and treadles, of course. :) I do quilt my own small quilts on my treadle, though.
Bonnie, My sewing group does string blocks using a fabric foundation rather paper. Do you see any problem using them in your patterns in String Fling which I have ordered. Thanks, Rita in Missouri
First time I've actually caught you on-line. Three hour difference here in CA.
So Amy and I are facebook video chatting on the side... we are such a Quilt Cult!
The 3M thingy's that you are using for your seam guide. I've looked and I can't find them. What area of the store (with what kinds of other items) would they be located? Sherri
Bonnie what is that little 1/4 inch guide called diana in NJ have a great trip!
enjoying your webcast and my "margarita" aka Crystal Light! Have a great Bali trip. Wish I could sneak into your suitcase, but I might get dropped and broken. :/
hi am watching from Australia instead of working, it is Monday lunchtime but hello.... such a great distraction from work. Great idea Bonnie. Chris
This would be so much fun to do as an all mightier to celebrate and ring in the New Year
Maybe a mystery quilt a thom on the quilt cam
love your live cam sewing. next time will need to get my laptop going so I can sew with you. I am a long armers too and have bins under my machine too good use of the area.
Hi again,
I have just finished quilting the picnic blanket. So glad I caught you on tonight and was encouraged to start sewing again this evening. Enjoy your trip to Bali! I off to cut binding but will still be tuned in.
Sherry
Rochester, NY
I find that it is easy and definitely not boring to sew while listening to you....Do you find that it is the same with you? That is, sewing and talking to us helps with the boredom...
If so, you are welcome,,,come into my sewing room anytime....
what kind of iron do you use?
I love a heavy iron, too. However, after shoulder problems I've come to appreciate a small travel iron when working with smaller blocks as they are often repetitive and small. I don't use my larger iron until the blocks are much larger. My large iron is the lightest one I could find at Target when I was hurting so much that sewing was truly a pain--so glad that isn't true any more! Ann in Virginia
Bonnie, I'm noticing that you are having a touch of struggle everytime you pick up a pair of units to sew together. Try this. Put the piles on the tray in the orientation that you will sew them. Only have to get it right once. Then they will all come out the same. No stopping to think.
Love this! With the little kids, I can't get out to a sewing group. This way I get someone to quilt with. :-)
Woman, where do you get your energy? You're still going strong while most of us are fading. You're busier than the Energizer bunny!
Have a safe & Awesome trip to Bali.
Love the Quilt Cam.
Thanks for everything you do.
Nancy from E. Texas
I finished my binding!!!! It is midnight here in Argentina so I am going to bed now. Thanks for keeping me company!!!
Had to peek in tonight. Home alone! Thanks for sharing. I went antiquing again last Friday and bought another "Tombstone" Singer machine.
Bonnie I meant the little ruler you used with your needle... diana
Got alot done while listening/watching your quily am session. Plus learned a lo. I'll save time now since you said usually no need to set seams & just to iron the seam... Time saver & i had suspected that my blocks were getting a bit wonkier with the whole piece pressing. Thanks! Bon Voyage & traveling mercies!
Thanks for doing the live video! It's so fun to listen to you talk as you sew! I'm cutting out a twister wall hanging. It's a Christmas tree. Have you ever done any twister quilts? It's so much fun!
Well, the three hour time difference in Las Vegas doesn't work well for catching the QuiltCam very often - only once so far. Maybe when you do the post, could you post the time that you start? Just an idea. I loved watching the other night when I did catch you on!
Hi! Cathy from Surrey BC, arrived home late tonight from a birthday party and it sounds like I missed another great QuiltCam. My loss for sure! I would love to have seen your stash system and more of your sewing room. I did stop snacking...and I made a small mug rug for the birthday girl, had lots of help from my feline friend, she needs to be there every step on the process but won't let me hold her longer than 5 seconds! Her brother finds a nice comfy chair and sleeps!
I will be moving my sewing machine closer to my computer upon your return! Sounds like lots of quilters are motivated! And it was you who did it! Thank you for all you do - when it is when you want/can do it!
Sue, I wondered if that was you, then you mentioned meeting me. How did you remember--there were so many people. I mentioned to Bonnie yesterday that I stopped for the demo and you asked if I knew of Bonnie Hunter, and we had a lot of fun talking about Quilt Cam! Hi, again. (Darn I missed quilt cam tonight--sounds like I missed some good info, too.)
