BMQ YouTube Series – Ep. 11: Virtual Trunk Show #2

BLACK LIVES MATTER — Please click on the link to find out what you can do to help end the oppression and killing of our fellow human beings.

The Craftsy 2012 Block of the Month by Amy Gibson sampler quilt is the second quilt I ever made. I learned so many useful basic quilting skills and techniques, and I also used this as an opportunity to teach myself free-motion quilting thanks to Leah Day’s Free Motion Quilting a Sampler class, also on Craftsy.

Heads up! This is a very long video because I say a little bit about each block of the quilt. I’ve listed the blocks with their corresponding time stamp in the Description box below the YouTube video, so feel free to skip to whatever block you’re interested in.

Welcome to the first video of my virtual “trunk show”! Since I’m not planning on showing my quilts in person anytime soon, I decided it would be fun to take you on a chronological journey of my quilt making. In this video, I talk about the very first quilt I ever made thanks to a Craftsy class by Amy Gibson.

BMQ YouTube Series – Episode 9: Basic Sewing Machine Tips


BLACK LIVES MATTER — Please click on the link to find out what you can do to help end the oppression and killing of our fellow human beings.

Since the COVID pandemic started in the US, there has been an uptick in sewing machine purchases so that people can sew face masks and keep themselves occupied while in lockdown. I thought it would be fun to just give a few very basic tips for people who are completely unfamiliar with sewing machines or haven’t yet gathered up the courage to use the one they bought at a garage sale 20 years ago.

I’d love to hear tips from all of you, so please share in the Comments section below. Please be sure to subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming videos, and feel free to leave comments or questions below. Thanks for watching!
