Love your channel so much. Erica I originally started watching you for homeschooling tutorials. About four years ago I felt the Lord tugging at my heart to homeschool, and I finally yielded my heart even with all my misgivings about being inadequate. I do watch several home school mamas on YouTube, but you inspired me to do so much more. In the fourth year of homeschooling I am now a new quilter and I love it and I am still on a learning curve. I’ve crocheted for years since I was about 11. Just wanted to let you know what a blessing you have been in my life. I have several fabric designers I love, but I would say Lori Holt and Tula Pink are my top two, at least for now. Blessings from Aledo Texas!

Best ending of a video ever 😂😂😂 the kitty on your pressing board behind you was hysterical.

Lori Holt is my favorite designer and Moda fabrics are always so beautiful and cute. I love your show. I get tired just watching all the different things you make. It’s very amazing. And now your children are working with you. That’s the best thing!!!

I absolutely LOVE the Poppie Cotton fabric line. The floral patterns, the interesting designs, the flowing springy colors all make the line undeniably beautiful! My favorite of all! And I thank you for introducing me to it! I truly enjoy your tutorials, right down to the “bloopers” at the end! It makes me smile and makes YOU a real person! Thank you!

I love your channel Erica. You're so fearless in trying new crafts. I don't know how you find the time. My favorite fabric designer is Sherri Mcconnell. I'm about to begin a free pattern of hers for a grandmother's flower quilt. It's my first attempt at English paper piecing.

[kathyterrell]

Wow! You and your family are very busy and involved in many projects. How wonderful that you take on projects to learn new skills. I started out with clothing sewing, and in the last few years have switched to quilting. I have two designers that I love, and they are completely different from each other. I love the whimsy of Me and My Sister, but I also love the richness of Kansas Troubles. I think being able to do different crafts can be such a blessing, and very important in this day and age.

[chelsearuiz]

My favorite fabric designer is Tula Pink! The colors she uses are so vibrant and the color palettes call to me every single line!

[juliekelsay]

My favorite yarn dyer is Tusken Knits. Her yarn is so beautiful. I also love any sock yarn that stripes. I'm a knitter, spinner, stitcher and quilter so it's so enjoyable seeing all of your different projects.

[miyukishouse]

My friend has pet hens, she gives me her pet hen's eggs all the time. I am going to make hen's patchwork, quilt them and make her a small blanket !! She will be so happy ! Thank you Erica! Always fun to watch your projects, I am learning a lot.

[rosaliecovello]

My favorite Indie dyer of yarn is Elm Tree Yarns out of the UK (Etsy). A tip for your bright white cross stitch cloth-dye it with black tea. Very easy to do as you only need steeped tea once its the color you want use vinegar to set. Hope it works. Thanks for your inspirations! I love spinning, sewing, quilting, knitting and crocheting plus paper crafts similar to your interests!

[johnnieennis]

[karenraabis]

The shawl is beautiful, I love so many fabrics but you can’t go wrong with Moda. They have Sherri and Chelsea and so many more with beautiful lines. Thanks for the chance to win!

[honnaearls]

Love your craft podcasts. I am a fan of so many designers but a few of my favs are Fig Tree, Corey Yoder and, because of you, I am really starting to become a fan of Poppie Cotton. Thank you for being such a crafting inspiration.

[janicekramer]

Love, love, love, your cross stitch designs! I am an avid cross stitcher so I will definitely be partaking. You have taught me so much with regards to quilting - thank you! Your daughter is adorable! My favorite fabric designer has to be Lori Holt. I love her collections and her patterns!! Thank you again!

[patmurray]

You are so busy. Not sure how you do everything you do. My favourite is Mods. Thank you for everything.

[lisalawton]

I am currently knitting my first DK weight sweater using Chelsea Luxe which is her 100% Superwash Merino base. It is beautiful to work with. I would like to add that I sincerely haven't met a indie dyer yarn that I didn't like, , the effort it takes to produce their products is inspirational ! I enjoy the Moda fabricc lines and have a fair amount in my stash, I recently have been drawn to Tula Pinks as well. Thanks for sharing all your crafts I enjoy your podcasts !!

[jeniferbeatty]

Thank you for all the wonderful information. I’m new to quilting, I’m currently collecting supplies and watching tutorials. I hope to overcome my fear of cutting my fabric wrong. I’m loving Lori Holt and Tula Pink. Have a beautiful day.

I like Michael Miller fabrics. There are so may designers out there that it is hard for me to pick a favorite. With me it depends on what day of the week it is. I love your pod casts. My goodness talent runs in the family. I think you will enjoy sewing. My biggest problem with garments is sizing. I think just doing something with your girls will be so fun..

[squeee]

I love basic gray designs. Like those grunge prints, almost solid but not quite. I'm telling
