You Tube Videos

June 2, 2014January 12, 2024 4 comments

Do you watch “how to” videos on You Tube?

UnknownA lot of people go to You Tube to learn how to do things and there is so much information there!

I looked at a few the other day- maybe I can finally learn how to do Continental Knitting instead of how I currently knit. Actually, I can do the knit stitch continental, it is the purl stitch that I cannot figure out!

 

DSCN0653In our booth at Quilt Market, we were showing how to use the Cottage Ruler by Creative Grids.

The ruler was designed by Susan Knapp and Mary Jane Mattingly of The Quilt Branch.

Why the Cottage Ruler? Well, it is just another way you can cut the parallelogram shape we use in our table runner pattern, Leftovers!

 

In the pattern, we give you a template that you can make out of template plastic, or tape to your regular ruler, but the Cottage Ruler is even easier!

So, while we were at Quilt Market, I decided to make my first how to video using the ruler. To see what you think- click here.  Now remember, this video is done by an amateur, so please, be kind!

By the way, isn’t out little table runner adorable? We originally designed it for a blog hop and now it is its own pattern!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t forget that later this month we are doing our notion Commotion Blog Hop! I can’t wait for you to check out all the designers and what the tools they thought were pretty nifty!NotionCommotion

Remember, the blog hop begins Tuesday June 17th and goes on every Tuesday and Thursday until July 17th. And yes, there will be giveaways!

I even created a page just for the blog hop so you will be able to see the schedule- click here. I will be updating it later this week when the schedule is finalized.

Have a great week- I hope you are doing something quilty! I know I am!

happy quilting,

Kate

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message
    home a bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog.
    A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.

    It’s genuinely very complex in this active life to listen news on TV,
    thus I simply use internet for that reason, and get
    the hottest information.
