12 Days of Christmas…Needful Things…Day 10

Today I was up at 4:30am to catch a flight to Vegas…I’m takin Nick on his first flight/mini weekend vacation since his surgery, Vegas is really the only place he likes to go…so when I got up I needed to link up my day 11 post and then proceeded to somehow lose it all…then some divine intervention happend and I somehow got it back…whewww…so I will be posting the next couple of day from Las Vegas! ย I am meeting Vegas Val my machine quilter tomorrow to hang out and the four of us will see a show…IMG_5194

View from 52nd floor hotel room…dayIMG_5328 2

and night…..but back to the deals…

DAY 10-Our newest rulers…Wool Stem Cutting Rulers…3/16″ ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย a definate must for wool applique!Stem Rulers L

here is a close-up of the right hand side…the other side the numbers go the other direction for left handed cutters…IMG_8924

 

This is for sure a needful thing….I like being effiecient…and when cutting stems for my wool projects I do not like to cut them one at a time…

It goes like this if you do not have this ruler and only a regular ruler or our 5×15 with 1-3/16″ line on it

Iron fusible to wool needed for stems…

trim up the long edge

find 3/16″ on ruler

place ruler on edge of fusible side of wool

cut

pick up ruler

move stem out of the way

lay ruler back down

find 3/16″ again

Place ruler on edge

cut

repeat…all that again and again and again..until you have as many as needed

Now with this 3/16″ ruler it is like this…

trim up edge

how many stems do we need? 6? line up the edge of the fusible side of the wool with the 6 line on the ruler.

Cut

slide to 5

cut

slide to 4

cut

slide to 3

cut

slide to 2

cut

slide to 1 cut

OOOOHHHH that was SSSSSOOO much faster…

I did this just in case the video wasn’t happening…but…

Stem Rulers L II.jpg

 

 

Hopefully my video will load here…if not, it will be on Facebook under Primitive Gatherings Quilt Shop, we shot it on Thursday and Kali has been working on it and sent it to me here…hopefully, fingers crossed I can load it…HOLY CRAP!!! IT WORKED!!! KALI DID AN AWESOME JOB on this video!!!! I cannot believe how it turned out…now I definately need to work on my performance skills!!

    One of my goals is to make an all blue quilt specifically something based on delft blues and antique blue transferware. Instead of complimenting white, off white, ecru..could it be shades of the palest blues??? Idea for a new fabric line????

    I would like to see you do more videos maybe like show on a more consistent basis. You could show what your working on, new fabric lines, the process of picking out fabric for a project or how to use some of the tools you use like the short video you have on this post. Looking forward to anything you come up with this next year.

    I agree with another person; an affordable beginner project that not only includes the wool but also the fusible that YOU use and the specific threads you use. Everything that one would need. There is a lot of little things one needs and if a person just wants to try it out it would be helpful to have it in one kit. I have a lot of your books, maybe one day I will get to take a class with you!

    This is my first year for PG 12 Days of Christmas. Iโ€™m still unclear …. must we order daily? Or can we wait until the last day and order everything we want from all 12 Day items and combine shipping? If we wait, how do we place an order on Day 1 to receive the special pricing on everything? These rulers look amazing, thank you! Have fun in Vegas!

    1. lisabongean Avatar

      Hi Kay…and Welcome to our 12 days…you can order daily…or you can wait til the end…the little we charge for shipping $3.99-$5.99 is minimal.(I think of it as gas in the car)…ALL the deals are good through the end of the year!..But if you wait til the end those orders seem to take a little longer to get because we will run out of some of the items…and will have to re-order, this is not a problem for most people. We have no idea if we are going to sell 10 of something or 200? So that is kinda how it works…

    I would love videos on how to use the needle treader on my Juki. Also address some other issues such as skipping stitches, breaking thread. A how to fix what I’m doing wrong, is it the thread? The needle, tension… you Know common problems we all might have here or there.

    Small kits that include pattern, thread and fabric, including backing. Another thing that I would like to see are precut complete kit options. Some of the people I see on facebook talk about cutting machines. I have looked into them and find them to be pricey and some you need to use with your computer. I am not interested in spending my stitching time figuring out how to do that, AND, I don’t have storage space for all the toys that make stitching/cutting/tracing easier. STORAGE space being the most important thing.
    Thanks for sharing so much with us. You are the key to lots of us being inspired and in “the stitch”.

    I really have enjoyed making things with your fabric line, Needle & Thread Gatherings. I have been doing some fussy cutting around the spools and needles and that has been fun.

    Iโ€™ve love to see an area at the CA store where you post Whats Newโ€™ classes, products, BOM, BOW, all things new – When I go the CA store, there is a board posted behind the register, so to see what is listed, I have to stand in the way of other customers / cashiers while they ring the purchases, and I feel like I am in the way (because I am) . I often miss out on a new class or new pattern / BOM simply because I do not see it posted. Picking up orders at the store is a.great way to get me into the store, but once I am there I do not see โ€˜whats new:! Your staff there is always very helpful.

    How about pre cut / fused geranium petals. I have several of your patterns with geraniums on them but hesitate to start because of making all those little petals. I know you can do this since I recently bought your “Summer Welcome Banner” with the petals pre cut / fused. How about offering them in sheets instead of as part of a kit – I can cut / fuse all other pieces in a design without them being precut. Also, would like to see other wool backgrounds other than black – I know the colors stand out nicely against black but black is so depressing. I recently used lighter wool for spring candle mat backgrounds instead of the black the pattern showed. The light blue and pale green were perfect for my umbrellas and tulips. Have a great get away in Vegas!

    Hmmmm….I am thinking about how you said you would be doing less traveling. So I am thinking how about a weekly online video class, with live video help sessions interspersed throughout. Perhaps a similar format to what Kari Shell does with her Tech Know Quilters online classes for EQ…just not as many days per week. AND of course we will be needing more updates on those two cutie patootie grandsons you’ve been blessed with!

    Please come teach at Road to California again! How about another beautiful quilt journal featuring more of your beautiful quilts? I love the format where you don’t have dates. I just pick mine up whenever I have the time or am feeling the need. It actually helps keep me organized – as much as that is possible. Keep up the good work!

    I haven’t done much wool applique, but would like to start doing more. Would like to see more instructions on doing the wool applique both by hand & machine. Also another Christmas book!

    I would love to see more cute pillows and bowl filler patterns/kits that are for holidays/seasons other than Christmas. The father and son reindeer are adorable and make me smile every time I look at it. Thanks a bunch!

    I really have nothing to add to all the great ideas so far. Well maybe more projects using embroidery.

    Love these1!! As for the upcoming year, I would love to see a video or instruction on how to do hand quilting on a small project. For instance, I have a smaller tabletopper and I need it quilted. I don;t have time to send it out to a quilter, so I am soing it by hand really quick.I am confused on how to draw the pattern/design to stich on the topper for the hand quilting and then how to hand quilt so my tie threads don’t show on the bottom. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I like everything you do, so I cannot think of anything new, maybe more of the old. I TRULY enjoyed the triangle gathering, it kept me in my sewing room on a regular basis, and sometimes I let life keep me out. I would love another sewalong

    Love what you do! I’m working on Midnight Garden at the moment and would have loved to have your new rulers for the stems. Thanks for inventing them! I would love to see instructional videos on how you do your beautiful stitches on your wool, as well as how to’s on the basics of wool applique. But going back over the comments I saw somebody say that she refers to your instructional videos all the time. How do I find those? I didn’t see a link on the PG website, and my searchs on YouTube haven’t gleaned much. I’d appreciate any info.

    This is a hard question. I can’t keep up with what’s already there, so adding new will only make it harder for me! But, along with everyone else, I love your videos and would love to see more of them. I also liked your sew-along (triangle gatherings) and would like to see another one.

    Glad you and your hubby are able to get away for a few days, for a much deserved short vacation. I would like a book and video of how to’s on the embroidery stitches you use in your projects. They are such a beautiful addition to the felted wool using the perle cotton.
    This would be a wonderful additions to the other books from Primitive Gatherings in my “library.”

    I really NEED a video on the feather stitch….I have a TBI and the part of my brain that used to work by photos alone now needs to see it being done! It took me almost 5 years to be able to quilt again and now I am loving wool appliquรฉ!

    I would like you to design and kit four wool appliquรฉ color appropriate seasonal table toppers, not lap size but squares about 36-40โ€ wide. Love all that you do and hopefully this isnโ€™t something youโ€™ve done before. Did you get your motorcycle endorsement and a bike, we talked about this on the cruise if you remember?

    You have so many wonderful Spring wool designs. I would like to see a Spring event in the same spirit of the Christmas event. Winters are so long here in the upper mid-west a countdown to the first day of Spring would be something to look forward to.

    I’m a visual learner so the videos showing how to do the colonial knot, the stem stitch, etc have been mist helpful. I would like more videos on various stitches. I also love the SAL that you do. Merry Christmas, good luck in Vegas!

    I love all of your work and have participated in many of the sew alongs but my favorite was the tenth anniversary one;) you ended up with an awesome quilt and it was easy to keep up with! But keep doing what you do… we all love it๐Ÿ’•

    I want to applaud the idea of pre-cut kits for smaller projects. I am recovering from a stroke and cutting accurately remains difficult for me, although thankfully, I can still hand sew and also cross stitch on 40-count linen. Thanks for considering pre-cuts!

    Hi Lisa, hope you & Nick are having fun in Vegas, nice pics! I liked your ruler video too. Next year… maybe some retro quilt designs… I love the 1940โ€™s table cloths with blue, red, and yellow fruit, and sometimes turquoise… I also enjoy Art Deco from the 1920โ€™s. Hugs, Jakey

    I agree with the others….you will come up with great ideas. A couple of things that would be helpful to me would be how to decide how to finish/quilt it and lessons on embroidery stitches. Thanks! Jmh

    I have a small all wool pincushion that I purchased from your shop a while ago. It was made with strips of wool.
    I would love a kit for make one. I think someone made them to sell at your store. I wish i had purchased more than one. It fits on the top of my sewing machine.

    I too would like lighter backgrounds, more creams, less tans in the fabric lines. Besides that, it would be nice to see some patterns with different kinds of stars. I haven’t ever done wool applique and would like a nice small kit of something that is for a beginner, with lots of instructions. That’s 3 different things which I could probably find today if I looked hard on your site, but it was what popped into my head. Thank you.
