how they were she traded the pumpkins for hearts take a closer look because you are going to love it and if you are a big Kimber Bell fan out there you're going to start recognizing all of these little Snippets from different Kimber Bell projects over the years and boy did this just make me happy to see I mean come on look at the Valentine gnome there's nowhere he came from I I bet type it in

this week I'm gonna show it a little bit again but we're going to talk more about the background quilting designs if you missed last week's episode of what's new Wednesday don't miss it go back and watch because this is the quilt well the main quilt but as you know there's all kinds of bonus projects with it too and all kinds of like additional little quilts remember this we're not going to talk about too much today because we did last week but what I do want to focus on is something that is all the buzz today you guys are already downloading it you're excited because one of the things that I would say is the star of the show is the background quilting I should say optional background quilting for this but let's take a moment here to look at some of these up close oh let's see background quilting designs on here

oh my goodness okay there's so many good ones can be used for so many things this was especially something that you guys talked about last week was you couldn't get over this border if you see the Border how it just says so happy in there and the ruler you just about lost your minds when you saw how cute the background quilting was on the ruler and I mean you name it there's some fun elements as part of this background quilting bundle it is available today okay so you're waiting for this to arrive it's being sent out to shots starting February 8th so that's next Wednesday but while you're waiting what about taking advantage of a 20 discount on the background quilting bundle right now today so that when it comes next week in the next couple weeks for you you are ready to go but do you know what I say around here it takes a village it certainly takes a village to do what to produce what we do at Kimber Bell and one of the most special unique things about a Kimber Bell project these days is the beautiful background quilting that is an option for you to have well I want you to eat someone really special to me who oversees an amazing team of people that make background quilting possible everyone and I'm gonna introduce you to my friend Liz Liz hello hello good morning everybody how are you feeling about being on today I am so excited and also just so honored this is so much fun to get to spend time with you well oh yes yeah Liz I know you watch every week um uh what's new Wednesday I know I see you on and now you're on um tell us a little bit about Liz you leave this team but you have some amazing ladies behind the scenes as well you've got uh Moki and Mikhail and Jennica who also so I call you the Fantastic Four [Laughter] and um tell him tell her about a little bit about your team and what it's like to work on background quilting designs at Kimber doll right I have an amazing team like you said the four of us are all working from home moms we're all young moms um so we all work part-time um but we all really have so much fun working on the background quilting behind the scenes so um we all use our talents and skills in making the artwork for the background quilting and creating the instructions file formats testing all the things that go into Kimber Bell's wonderful designs the four of us work on day in day out with this background quilting so I really love to shout out to my team they are so amazing they are they make it possible for us to put out so many designs and you know that we are always every week there's at least one new quilting Design coming out um so we really enjoy what we do and we work so hard to make sure that we're always getting something new something fun out to you you guys um but yeah working on background quilting is so much fun there's just so many possibilities and that's the theme Liz um you're saying you're exactly right there's so many possibilities how tell us a little bit give us a little insight into what what is the process because because of so many possibilities as you mentioned it's hard to like just narrow it down going oh I think I'll do this as a toss designer I'll do this as a clear blue tile designer what is the process when you get the artwork or when you first learn about a new product here at camperval is that when you guys like go to work and you know give us a little Insider take on that yeah I'd love to tell you a little bit more about it so really when a project is launched at Kimber Bell the artwork is finalized that's when I get to see it I get to be one of the lucky ones that gets to see these beautiful projects at the very beginning when I see the artwork I start pinpointing you know all the cute elements that are within the project um and I start kind of pulling those those elements that I want to use to create quilting designs so um really when we're working on a background quilting bundle for a project like oh so delightful quilts and Decor it's all about how does it how can we complement the project as a whole right so we don't want to like we don't want to outshine we want to complement we want to coordinate with the project because really it's just about taking your project to the next the next level if you want to do that right so how what elements do I want to pull from the project to coordinate and make those background quiltings really play well as a team as a team with the project right and all the embellishments so really I look at the project as a whole what are all of the blocks um what are all the embellishments going on the quilts what are the fabrics and so all those things are kind of in my mind and I'll start doodling out the elements and pulling and playing with how would I toss them which ones make sense for a clear blue tiles design which ones make more sense for a block by block or an orange design if you're looking on the website so really there's there's a lot of thought that goes into it how does it coordinate how does it play well with the with the project that they're going to go on I I love how you mentioned that you don't want to to be like you don't want it to outshine the design itself and I would say that you know anyone who does background quilting whether they're a long armor or you know they're doing it on their domestic you know sewing machine or whatever that is the goal is to really make it special but still kind of stay as a background dancer right back up singer maybe totally you know totally that's exactly right yeah you want it to play well with the project you wanted to just enhance the project and just make it that extra level of fun right that's the word particular level of cute so yeah enhance the project Well you certainly do enhance the project um I think it would be fun to actually show everyone how to find these designs and I would love to keep you on the screen here Liz and have you walk us through maybe some of your uh you know the the elements that you just absolutely loved uh best making so let me show people where to find this um this is of course the Kimber Bell website here you can find it at kimberbell.com and if you go up to products let's see where it says get it today you're going to go to background quilting all right and then here's where you're gonna see you know uh them in different um sections here of course we see the latest design right there but that's latest design is actually part of a bundle design for oh so delightful so I'm going to show you where to find all of it anyway so if we go back up to the top it says all designs and then by project let's click on buy project I love how you guys have like have made this really easy easier to see what we think goes with what so this one is the oh so delightful as you can see here we've got let me call you tweet heart sweetest pie cup of cheer you name it let's click on oh so delightful and there you're gonna find these as downloads uh for single designs or a bundle design and that's where if you go as a click as a bundle design uh You're Gonna Save 20 by buying it all in a bundle right so I'm going to scroll down here to where you're going to see the 20 20 discount and then the bundle design so I'm going to click on that but no of course that all of these are available as single ones too so really it gives you flexibility to pick and choose or to take all of it um what you would like to use on your projects okay so you talked about um well we'll talk about the difference between orange and blue designs here in a minute um but let's first take a closer look at the designs themselves tell us about this one Liz the Border oh okay so this is one of my favorite the Bobby border one I love it so when I first saw the initial artwork for oh so delightful that Maine so happy quilt when I saw that inner sashing was yellow fabric I was like there's just the only one thing we can do here we have to do a measuring tape right because that's the staple for any sewing so this is our bouncing ideas is so awesome to be able to do because when I put that yellow inner Border in there I was not even thinking about a ruler I just thought it looked pretty with the blue border it kind of Set It Off and then you take it up 10 notches and do a ruler that is seriously the showstopper right I love it was just it was meant to be it was just one of those clicking moments I just knew it had to be so that is the inner border design so you can get a closer look here real quick I'm going to scroll through these pictures so we can find a close look at that border oh here we go here's one but I love it so much I cannot cannot make that possible on an embroidery machine and it's going to line up perfectly oh here's another close-up look and um oh here we go look at that you guys it's so cute and what is really cool is it will not matter if you have a 5x7 hoop a six by ten hoop 8 by 12 or 9 by 14 it all works and it's gonna you're not gonna know what size of hoop you used right exactly so it's one of the new block by block only borders so it's meant to stitch seamlessly it's going to look like edge to edge you're not going to be able to see where it starts where it ends so look at your extracts to make sure you see you know what what it's going to look like with your particular hoop with smaller Hoops we could only get one two three right so but but still you're gonna have this beautiful measuring tape look that comes across in your cute inner sashing and I just think it is just the perfect little border to go around the inside of your quilts oh my gosh yes absolutely okay let's take a look at of course then you've got the so happy which is so pretty um yeah yeah you've got you so happy joy sewing machines fabric bolts scissors just all those fun elements together to just give you that really cute chunky detailed outer border I love it love it okay zigzag you can't go wrong with a basic zigzag right exactly exactly the inspiration behind this one I was just thinking about your basic zigzag stitch on your sewing machine right and just making it a really versatile linear design that you can use Beyond oh so delightful right like this would be cute on basically any block ever it's just such a sweet easy cute design it is it it really is versatile uh for sure okay I love this radial design how did you come up with this one this one is actually inspired by one of the new vintage Flora Fabrics the sparkle design so the sparkle design is so cute and I just wanted to kind of echo the beauty of that fabric and create a background quilting design that went along with it so really those radial stars are just those cute little sparkles from the fabric and again this one is just so versatile right like it's just that that classic crosshatch diamond with the little stars in the middle just makes it really extra cute so and again that design itself could be used on anything it doesn't scream sewing room collection exactly yeah exactly oh my gosh okay this one is another show stopper I know I keep saying that and I can't decide which is like my favorite because for all different reasons uh this one just just makes you happy tell us about this this one is just putting all those sweet sewing notions all together you've got your buttons your thread spools your PIN cushions of course because there's those pin cushioned blocks on these on the quilt and you've got your scissors in there too and it's all just connected by these cute loopy threads I just think it's such a such a sweet um design just that encompasses the joy of sewing and just all those tools and things that you use when you're sewing nailed it encompasses with a joy of sewing I couldn't agree more okay I know where this was inspired from but why don't you share with the rest of the group so this one again inspired by one of our vintage Flora Fabrics so um it's the yes the honeycomb flower so the flowers are in these cute little hexagon shapes and we just wanted to kind of echo that geometry that geometric design because with every good bundle I really try and have you know a good variety of different designs that really you kind of get you know some geometrics some more organic I really try and give you a variety so that you have a lot to play with so this is one of those that just feels really geometric but it's fun because it's a clear blue tiles design too so I can see this being used with B quilting too because it kind of gives that honeycomb feel yes now you can use it on something that's a little bit more like modern because it has kind of a modern feel to it too so it's just a super versatile super pretty design it's gonna Stitch out really quick too so it's good for bigger projects I didn't even think about using that with a with like a b design but you're absolutely right it's kind of a a modern take on the honeycomb and it it's it works it's perfect and I love that it was inspired by the Vintage Flora fabric too which is kind of cool um okay this one a lot of people mentioned this last week when um they saw the oh so delightful quilt for the first time and that was the cross stitch background quilting so fun this one is one of my favorites from this bundle um a lot of labor of love with this one because you know figuring out how to make it look all over the house design but also encompassing the idea of this cross stitch design so really yeah we pulled from those cross stitch Hearts we wanted to play up that idea of these beautiful those little Hoops that you're gonna make on the quilt bringing in that cross stitch I feel um if you look at the lifestyle folders of this one it really double stitches over so it gives you this kind of thick chunky looking quilting that's really really sweet um so I really love this one the love the way it turned out let me see if I can find a picture of that real quick um of the cross stitch here oh yes here we go there yes you can really see that it's got kind of like it goes over itself twice so it's really got this chunky textural feel so it's it works really well on filler blocks it works really well as a background quilting design but it's just so fun it's such a fun design and I can see it being used Valentine's Day which is coming up I can see it being used on you know like an heirloom baby quilt I don't know I just feel like it's such a cute versatile design that um really shines in this bottle I'm just like sifting through some of these pictures so you can see more up close here's a look at oh look at those scissors on top of the thread spool but here's I love this so happy because of course depending on the thread color you use you can make it more prominent or you can make them kind of you know settle into the background just a little bit too right

okay this let's see let's let me go back here to one that is exclusive to the bundle do you want to tell us about the little oh where did it go the little straight pins yes um I will find it right there it is there we go straight pins these are this quilting is called the pins quilting design and it is exclusive if you buy the bundle um it's a filler quilting Block it's a one by six sized block um file size that you could use to quilt these very specific filler blocks that are on the quilt so you've got some rows two rows of these one by six blocks that go across the quilt and we just designed these pins to go there um knowing that we were going to have these sweet blooming pins coming out as coming in the embellishment kit so um I just wanted to kind of play up The Sid of pins and just another one of those cute Notions that you have in your sewing room well and let's be honest my pants look exactly like that on the floor right it's like we just tossed the pins on the floor and took a picture of them and come on I mean if they were all nicely in a row who are we kidding who are we kidding oh my goodness so as you can see she's also on the website She's listed what all the the designs are that come in the bundle how many sizes they come in if you click on any of those um you can also find the single designs of it sounds like um and you can save 20 through the month of February on this right that's great now a question that's often asked oh let me show this real quick do you want to tell us about this picture that I'm seeing yes absolutely so that is a picture of the background quilting guide so what the background quilting guide is anytime we offer a bundle we always give you a quilting guide and it basically tells you on our sample what quilting we used on which block and what size so it basically a map of if you want to do the background quilting exactly how we did it on our on our sample that we took photos of um you use the guide to you know select the quilting that we use the size that you need for each block throughout the whole project so oh that's fantastic I love that you're really trying to make it easy easy for all of us so okay bundle it'll be in your it'll be in your download you'll see that there's a PDF called quilting guide oh okay yeah great great great great um scrolling through these real fast but tell us um you know from your expert opinion as the digitizer Behind these um and your team what is the difference we get this question a lot and you know I think we should come out with a video to to help explain it too but in a nutshell if people are seeing some designs on a blue background and some designs on an orange background why why why is that and what's the difference between them how do you use them differently that kind of thing because I think it's important for everyone to understand that totally I'm so happy to talk about it so blue designs are compatible with clear blue tiles so we've really tried to make that that kind of really easy to think about and orange designs are block by block only and why don't you add to that the blue designs and gray designs are perfect for Clear Blue tiles exactly because the gray designs are also all over um right border designs yes exactly so the dark gray borders are clear blue tiles um compatible also um light gray so this particular Border in oh so delightful quilts and Decor is a light gray and orange designs are block by block only and the reason why those are block by block only is because um they will have travel lines or they will have places where they need to connect outside of the block that if they just don't lend themselves well to being an all-over design like clear blue tiles is supposed to be right so um so like for example the zigzag quilting um when you go up the line you're gonna have to travel across to get to the next Lane so it's just really something you wouldn't want to use as an all-over quilting sign because you'd have these little connecting travel lines that just wouldn't make it look as beautiful so um clear blue tiles designs the blues and the dark blue designs are ones that you can use all over you also get you know the block by block files which just basically means we've given you the placement lines for your batting and your and your background fabric so you're setting up your block for a feature project like these oh so delightful quilts and Decor so that's sort of like a in a nutshell um there's also an informational table on the website that you can look at and it gives you really good tips of what's the difference between the orange and the blue or the blue I love and the clear of the tiles designs oh thanks for pointing that out Liz yeah that's great yeah so you know when we talk about block by block quilting that's a lot of times what we do on something like this where it has a lot of appliques on top right and so you do lock by Block in the background and like Liz says it's got you know uh your it accounts for your um seam allowance right so then you you sew those blocks together block by block right and um there you have it but block by block also has the traveling lines that was mentioned with a zigzag so it's got a travel somewhere so instead of us seeing all of those traveling lines there inside the scene which is awesome

are you there Liz exactly oh okay I am hi and okay you kind of cut out there for a minute and then you're blue anything that's on blue or dark gray work perfectly with clear blue tiles but also with block by block quilting exactly exactly so you get both sets of files so that you have all the versatile versatility you need to create any project you want with those so that's so awesome oh my goodness this is just it's fun I hope you guys all feel like it's fun to kind of hear what's going on well like I say literally in the background camper Bell um because we have this amazing team of these four ladies like she said work at home moms who have made um all of our lives so much more fun and exciting and like really um truly remarkable being able to do this on our home embroidery machines as we do it instead of waiting till the end and then figuring out how to quilt it we're putting together these beautiful designs as we go oh it's awesome okay so Liz you know I'm gonna I'm gonna give a shout out to to everyone out there who's watching because Liz and her team and like I said it's Liz and mookie and Michael and Jennica they're always reading your comments we are so if you know you have that this is the time to let them know what kinds of background cruelties would you want to see what's what I think I've even put this here in a banner I want to know they want to know if you were you know if you had your ideal background quilting design that you could have Liz and her awesome team create what is it that you're looking for in background quilting because we at Kimber Bell want to provide all of that for you um so that you can use block by block method clear blue tiles method and really make it um you know something special for you wouldn't you say so Liz are you ready to take down notes I am so excited we often look at Kimber bells and fellas for ideas so we love all the ideas and we want to make it happen for you so please always send us your ideas yes oh my gosh they're they are they're always looking so you know um yeah the comments are coming up fast feathers I think you have a feathers one in the works don't you it's coming yes we do have one coming yeah I see um oh my gosh beach themed beach themed oh my God such a good idea yeah I love it yeah pretty flowers in one sweet spring dogs art gecko I mean you've got job security Liz I'm here to come no doubt about that oh my gosh yeah it always always needed right always oh my gosh some baby themes I know you've got some baby aliens coming in yes I mean I could just like Liz said you know she gets to be kind of the you know the first to see some of these designs you know right from the start but I also get to see some of the background designs that are coming off of that really early on in the process because these guys are on it they're ahead of the game and it has been really fun to see like what's coming out and so I see what you guys are asking for and I'm going oh

because they're all just so awesome so grateful for um their their contributions to to making what Kimber Bell is what it is today so thank you Liz and Team all right guys so let's go on um I just wanted to give you a sneak peek on something that's coming out to shops um they're going to be learning about it here next week because it was supposed to come out a while ago um this old linen pillow cover blank and it didn't make it when we got it wood and now it's here so it's going to be sent out here very soon but I want to show you what I did with this oat linen it's called the oat linen pillow cover blank and it's coming out again next week it's going to be sent to shops with oh so delightful so what I did is I took one of the blocks from oh so delightful the sewing machine and I added it to the oat linen pillow cover blank as you know our our pillow cover planks are already quilted so this this uh like a honeycomb uh hexacon uh look of uh background quilting is already quilted and it comes flat this is what you're going to be looking for it's the Quilted pillow blank it comes with the open side seams so that it's really easy to take any designs any design and then this one I used the design from oh so delightful because we gotta get you to see the possibilities right as you can see it comes just as one flat piece but it's already got a hidden invisible zipper in it so that all I have to do oh and the side seams are already surged as you can see um all I have to do is lay this on the bed of my machine either a sewing machine or a embroidery machine do my design whatever that entails and then I just sew up the sides with like a half of an inch seam and then I've got the opening to put in a pillow form and voila I've got the cutest little pillow and all I did for these little Flags is I just cut some triangle fabrics and just attach them to this uh little mini Rick rack and we'll go into a little bit more details about these kinds of ideas of what to do on these pillow cover blanks in the coming weeks but I did want to give you a heads up that that is also coming to a quilt shop near you online or you know if you're lucky enough to walk through their doors um they will have this and isn't that beautiful if you could see this fabric it's like this linen texture and it truly is a gorgeous versatile uh pillow cover blank that you can put anything on and so for my sewing room I added a you know a little sewing machine but again that comes from the quilt oh so delightful right here being sent to cool shops next week so exciting all right so the reason why I share that with you well a couple reasons is because one it's going to be part of our um giveaway this week but before I go into the giveaway I don't want to forget something

how they were she traded the pumpkins for hearts take a closer look because you are going to love it and if you are a big Kimber Bell fan out there you're going to start recognizing all of these little Snippets from different Kimber Bell projects over the years and boy did this just make me happy to see I mean come on look at the Valentine gnome there's nowhere he came from I I bet type it in the comments if you know where that gnome came from with his cute dangling legs that came from uh came from the lucky s bench pillow still available and but she made it all Valentine well and then she

quilting is so much fun there's just so many possibilities and that's the theme Liz um you're saying you're exactly right there's so many possibilities how tell us a little bit give us a little insight into what what is the process because because of so many possibilities as you mentioned it's hard to like just narrow it down going oh I think I'll do this as a toss designer I'll do this as a clear blue tile designer what is the process when you get the artwork or when you first learn about a new product here at camperval is that when you guys like go to work and you know give us a little Insider take on that yeah I'd love to tell you a little bit more about it so really when a project is launched at Kimber Bell the artwork is finalized that's when I get to see it I get to be one of the lucky ones that gets to see these beautiful projects at the very beginning when I see the artwork I start pinpointing you know all the cute elements that are within the project um and I start kind of pulling those those elements that I want to use to create quilting designs so um really when we're working on a background quilting bundle for a project like oh so delightful quilts and Decor it's all about how does it how can we complement the project as a whole right so we don't want to like we don't want to outshine we want to complement we want to coordinate with the project because really it's just about taking your project to the next the next level if you want to do that right so how what elements do I want to pull from the project to coordinate and make those background quiltings really play well as a team as a team with the project right and all the embellishments so really I look at the project as a whole what are all of the blocks um what are all the embellishments going on the quilts what are the fabrics and so all those things are kind of in my mind and I'll start doodling out the elements and pulling and playing with how would I toss them which ones make sense for a clear blue tiles design which ones make more sense for a block by block or an orange design if you're looking on the website so really there's there's a lot of thought that goes into it how does it coordinate how does it play well with the with the project that they're going to go on I I love how you mentioned that you don't want to to be like you don't want it to outshine the design itself and I would say that you know anyone who does background quilting whether they're a long armor or you know they're doing it on their domestic you know sewing machine or whatever that is the goal is to really make it special but still kind of stay as a background dancer right back up singer maybe totally you know totally that's exactly right yeah you want it to play well with the project you wanted to just enhance the project and just make it that extra level of fun right that's the word particular level of cute so yeah enhance the project Well you certainly do enhance the project um I think it would be fun to actually show everyone how to find these designs and I would love to keep you on the screen here Liz and have you walk us through maybe some of your uh you know the the elements that you just absolutely loved uh best making so let me show people where to find this um this is of course the Kimber Bell website here you can find it at kimberbell.com and if you go up to products let's see where it says get it today you're going to go to background quilting all right and then here's where you're gonna see you know uh them in different um sections here of course we see the latest design right there but that's latest design is actually part of a bundle design for oh so delightful so I'm going to show you where to find all of it anyway so if we go back up to the top it says all designs and then by project let's click on buy project I love how you guys have like have made this really easy easier to see what we think goes with what so this one is the oh so delightful as you can see here we've got let me call you tweet heart sweetest pie cup of cheer you name it let's click on oh so delightful and there you're gonna find these as downloads uh for single designs or a bundle design and that's where if you go as a click as a bundle design uh You're Gonna Save 20 by buying it all in a bundle right so I'm going to scroll down here to where you're going to see the 20 20 discount and then the bundle design so I'm going to click on that but no of course that all of these are available as single ones too so really it gives you flexibility to pick and choose or to take all of it um what you would like to use on your projects okay so you talked about um well we'll talk about the difference between orange and blue designs here in a minute um but let's first take a closer look at the designs themselves tell us about this one Liz the Border oh okay so this is one of my favorite the Bobby border one I love it so when I first saw the initial artwork for oh so delightful that Maine so happy quilt when I saw that inner sashing was yellow fabric I was like there's just the only one thing we can do here we have to do a measuring tape right because that's the staple for any sewing so this is our bouncing ideas is so awesome to be able to do because when I put that yellow inner Border in there I was not even thinking about a ruler I just thought it looked pretty with the blue border it kind of Set It Off and then you take it up 10 notches and do a ruler that is seriously the showstopper right I love it was just it was meant to be it was just one of those clicking moments I just knew it had to be so that is the inner border design so you can get a closer look here real quick I'm going to scroll through these pictures so we can find a close look at that border oh here we go here's one but I love it so much I cannot cannot make that possible on an embroidery machine and it's going to line up perfectly oh here's another close-up look and um oh here we go look at that you guys it's so cute and what is really cool is it will not matter if you have a 5x7 hoop a six by ten hoop 8 by 12 or 9 by 14 it all works and it's gonna you're not gonna know what size of hoop you used right exactly so it's one of the new block by block only borders so it's meant to stitch seamlessly it's going to look like edge to edge you're not going to be able to see where it starts where it ends so look at your extracts to make sure you see you know what what it's going to look like with your particular hoop with smaller Hoops we could only get one two three right so but but still you're gonna have this beautiful measuring tape look that comes across in your cute inner sashing and I just think it is just the perfect little border to go around the inside of your quilts oh my gosh yes absolutely okay let's take a look at of course then you've got the so happy which is so pretty um yeah yeah you've got you so happy joy sewing machines fabric bolts scissors just all those fun elements together to just give you that really cute chunky detailed outer border I love it love it okay zigzag you can't go wrong with a basic zigzag right exactly exactly the inspiration behind this one I was just thinking about your basic zigzag stitch on your sewing machine right and just making it a really versatile linear design that you can use Beyond oh so delightful right like this would be cute on basically any block ever it's just such a sweet easy cute design it is it it really is versatile uh for sure okay I love this radial design how did you come up with this one this one is actually inspired by one of the new vintage Flora Fabrics the sparkle design so the sparkle design is so cute and I just wanted to kind of echo the beauty of that fabric and create a background quilting design that went along with it so really those radial stars are just those cute little sparkles from the fabric and again this one is just so versatile right like it's just that that classic crosshatch diamond with the little stars in the middle just makes it really extra cute so and again that design itself could be used on anything it doesn't scream sewing room collection exactly yeah exactly oh my gosh okay this one is another show stopper I know I keep saying that and I can't decide which is like my favorite because for all different reasons uh this one just just makes you happy tell us about this this one is just putting all those sweet sewing notions all together you've got your buttons your thread spools your PIN cushions of course because there's those pin cushioned blocks on these on the quilt and you've got your scissors in there too and it's all just connected by these cute loopy threads I just think it's such a such a sweet um design just that encompasses the joy of sewing and just all those tools and things that you use when you're sewing nailed it encompasses with a joy of sewing I couldn't agree more okay I know where this was inspired from but why don't you share with the rest of the group so this one again inspired by one of our vintage Flora Fabrics so um it's the yes the honeycomb flower so the flowers are in these cute little hexagon shapes and we just wanted to kind of echo that geometry that geometric design because with every good bundle I really try and have you know a good variety of different designs that really you kind of get you know some geometrics some more organic I really try and give you a variety so that you have a lot to play with so this is one of those that just feels really geometric but it's fun because it's a clear blue tiles design too so I can see this being used with B quilting too because it kind of gives that honeycomb feel yes now you can use it on something that's a little bit more like modern because it has kind of a modern feel to it too so it's just a super versatile super pretty design it's gonna Stitch out really quick too so it's good for bigger projects I didn't even think about using that with a with like a b design but you're absolutely right it's kind of a a modern take on the honeycomb and it it's it works it's perfect and I love that it was inspired by the Vintage Flora fabric too which is kind of cool um okay this one a lot of people mentioned this last week when um they saw the oh so delightful quilt for the first time and that was the cross stitch background quilting so fun this one is one of my favorites from this bundle um a lot of labor of love with this one because you know figuring out how to make it look all over the house design but also encompassing the idea of this cross stitch design so really yeah we pulled from those cross stitch Hearts we wanted to play up that idea of these beautiful those little Hoops that you're gonna make on the quilt bringing in that cross stitch I feel um if you look at the lifestyle folders of this one it really double stitches over so it gives you this kind of thick chunky looking quilting that's really really sweet um so I really love this one the love the way it turned out let me see if I can find a picture of that real quick um of the cross stitch here oh yes here we go there yes you can really see that it's got kind of like it goes over itself twice so it's really got this chunky textural feel so it's it works really well on filler blocks it works really well as a background quilting design but it's just so fun it's such a fun design and I can see it being used Valentine's Day which is coming up I can see it being used on you know like an heirloom baby quilt I don't know I just feel like it's such a cute versatile design that um really shines in this bottle I'm just like sifting through some of these pictures so you can see more up close here's a look at oh look at those scissors on top of the thread spool but here's I love this so happy because of course depending on the thread color you use you can make it more prominent or you can make them kind of you know settle into the background just a little bit too right

okay this let's see let's let me go back here to one that is exclusive to the bundle do you want to tell us about the little oh where did it go the little straight pins yes um I will find it right there it is there we go straight pins these are this quilting is called the pins quilting design and it is exclusive if you buy the bundle um it's a filler quilting Block it's a one by six sized block um file size that you could use to quilt these very specific filler blocks that are on the quilt so you've got some rows two rows of these one by six blocks that go across the quilt and we just designed these pins to go there um knowing that we were going to have these sweet blooming pins coming out as coming in the embellishment kit so um I just wanted to kind of play up The Sid of pins and just another one of those cute Notions that you have in your sewing room well and let's be honest my pants look exactly like that on the floor right it's like we just tossed the pins on the floor and took a picture of them and come on I mean if they were all nicely in a row who are we kidding who are we kidding oh my goodness so as you can see she's also on the website She's listed what all the the designs are that come in the bundle how many sizes they come in if you click on any of those um you can also find the single designs of it sounds like um and you can save 20 through the month of February on this right that's great now a question that's often asked oh let me show this real quick do you want to tell us about this picture that I'm seeing yes absolutely so that is a picture of the background quilting guide so what the background quilting guide is anytime we offer a bundle we always give you a quilting guide and it basically tells you on our sample what quilting we used on which block and what size so it basically a map of if you want to do the background quilting exactly how we did it on our on our sample that we took photos of um you use the guide to you know select the quilting that we use the size that you need for each block throughout the whole project so oh that's fantastic I love that you're really trying to make it easy easy for all of us so okay bundle it'll be in your it'll be in your download you'll see that there's a PDF called quilting guide oh okay yeah great great great great um scrolling through these real fast but tell us um you know from your expert opinion as the digitizer Behind these um and your team what is the difference we get this question a lot and you know I think we should come out with a video to to help explain it too but in a nutshell if people are seeing some designs on a blue background and some designs on an orange background why why why is that and what's the difference between them how do you use them differently that kind of thing because I think it's important for everyone to understand that totally I'm so happy to talk about it so blue designs are compatible with clear blue tiles so we've really tried to make that that kind of really easy to think about and orange designs are block by block only and why don't you add to that the blue designs and gray designs are perfect for Clear Blue tiles exactly because the gray designs are also all over um right border designs yes exactly so the dark gray borders are clear blue tiles um compatible also um light gray so this particular Border in oh so delightful quilts and Decor is a light gray and orange designs are block by block only and the reason why those are block by block only is because um they will have travel lines or they will have places where they need to connect outside of the block that if they just don't lend themselves well to being an all-over design like clear blue tiles is supposed to be right so um so like for example the zigzag quilting um when you go up the line you're gonna have to travel across to get to the next Lane so it's just really something you wouldn't want to use as an all-over quilting sign because you'd have these little connecting travel lines that just wouldn't make it look as beautiful so um clear blue tiles designs the blues and the dark blue designs are ones that you can use all over you also get you know the block by block files which just basically means we've given you the placement lines for your batting and your and your background fabric so you're setting up your block for a feature project like these oh so delightful quilts and Decor so that's sort of like a in a nutshell um there's also an informational table on the website that you can look at and it gives you really good tips of what's the difference between the orange and the blue or the blue I love and the clear of the tiles designs oh thanks for pointing that out Liz yeah that's great yeah so you know when we talk about block by block quilting that's a lot of times what we do on something like this where it has a lot of appliques on top right and so you do lock by Block in the background and like Liz says it's got you know uh your it accounts for your um seam allowance right so then you you sew those blocks together block by block right and um there you have it but block by block also has the traveling lines that was mentioned with a zigzag so it's got a travel somewhere so instead of us seeing all of those traveling lines there inside the scene which is awesome

are you there Liz exactly oh okay I am hi and okay you kind of cut out there for a minute and then you're blue anything that's on blue or dark gray work perfectly with clear blue tiles but also with block by block quilting exactly exactly so you get both sets of files so that you have all the versatile versatility you need to create any project you want with those so that's so awesome oh my goodness this is just it's fun I hope you guys all feel like it's fun to kind of hear what's going on well like I say literally in the background camper Bell um because we have this amazing team of these four ladies like she said work at home moms who have made um all of our lives so much more fun and exciting and like really um truly remarkable being able to do this on our home embroidery machines as we do it instead of waiting till the end and then figuring out how to quilt it we're putting together these beautiful designs as we go oh it's awesome okay so Liz you know I'm gonna I'm gonna give a shout out to to everyone out there who's watching because Liz and her team and like I said it's Liz and mookie and Michael and Jennica they're always reading your comments we are so if you know you have that this is the time to let them know what kinds of background cruelties would you want to see what's what I think I've even put this here in a banner I want to know they want to know if you were you know if you had your ideal background quilting design that you could have Liz and her awesome team create what is it that you're looking for in background quilting because we at Kimber Bell want to provide all of that for you um so that you can use block by block method clear blue tiles method and really make it um you know something special for you wouldn't you say so Liz are you ready to take down notes I am so excited we often look at Kimber bells and fellas for ideas so we love all the ideas and we want to make it happen for you so please always send us your ideas yes oh my gosh they're they are they're always looking so you know um yeah the comments are coming up fast feathers I think you have a feathers one in the works don't you it's coming yes we do have one coming yeah I see um oh my gosh beach themed beach themed oh my God such a good idea yeah I love it yeah pretty flowers in one sweet spring dogs art gecko I mean you've got job security Liz I'm here to come no doubt about that oh my gosh yeah it always always needed right always oh my gosh some baby themes I know you've got some baby aliens coming in yes I mean I could just like Liz said you know she gets to be kind of the you know the first to see some of these designs you know right from the start but I also get to see some of the background designs that are coming off of that really early on in the process because these guys are on it they're ahead of the game and it has been really fun to see like what's coming out and so I see what you guys are asking for and I'm going oh

wanted to give you a sneak peek on something that's coming out to shops um they're going to be learning about it here next week because it was supposed to come out a while ago um this old linen pillow cover blank and it didn't make it when we got it wood and now it's here so it's going to be sent out here very soon but I want to show you what I did with this oat linen it's called the oat linen pillow cover blank and it's coming out again next week it's going to be sent to shops with oh so delightful so what I did is I took one of the blocks from oh so delightful the sewing machine and I added it to the oat linen pillow cover blank as you know our our pillow cover planks are already quilted so this this uh like a honeycomb uh hexacon uh look of uh background quilting is already quilted and it comes flat this is what you're going to be looking for it's the Quilted pillow blank it comes with the open side seams so that it's really easy to take any designs any design and then this one I used the design from oh so delightful because we gotta get you to see the possibilities right as you can see it comes just as one flat piece but it's already got a hidden invisible zipper in it so that all I have to do oh and the side seams are already surged as you can see um all I have to do is lay this on the bed of my machine either a sewing machine or a embroidery machine do my design whatever that entails and then I just sew up the sides with like a half of an inch seam and then I've got the opening to put in a pillow form and voila I've got the cutest little pillow and all I did for these little Flags is I just cut some triangle fabrics and just attach them to this uh little mini Rick rack and we'll go into a little bit more details about these kinds of ideas of what to do on these pillow cover blanks in the coming weeks but I did want to give you a heads up that that is also coming to a quilt shop near you online or you know if you're lucky enough to walk through their doors um they will have this and isn't that beautiful if you could see this fabric it's like this linen texture and it truly is a gorgeous versatile uh pillow cover blank that you can put
