Triple Play! Easy Hourglass + A Block LIVE from the Studio!

little different at all, but technically the thread would make it a little more accurate. Absolutely, if you want to do that, do it, it's great, it's a person, it's a great technique, if you want to do that, yeah, but I don't think, I don't think we really worry about it because there's just more of us. More relaxed than that, yeah, what else, Dalton, what do you have? Nora says my finished

hourglass

block

s ended up wavy, it's her way of saving them, they just started and Michael wants to know is The Binding, also from the new line, yes, it's all we show you, so this binding. it's the yellow tone on tone that we held with the aquamarine and the yellow and the white this is the yellow and I love that we use all the different colors, we don't actually know when we're doing them, we know the

block

that we're using, but we don't know what everyone's quilts will look like until the end, so I will say that also in this case I put together the back because it is45 but because they are all these little squares, it was very

easy

to put together and you can't even tell that There's a seam, yeah, that's cool, it's like it's magical.

I love it. I love it. And there is a question about him. quilt Town fabric specifically if there will be more to come and yes, yes, they already ordered more, it is on the way. I'm excited too, yeah, and it's on the rails. Yes the other thing is if you are interested in any of these patterns they are available right now as digital downloads the print patterns will be arriving soon they have been ordered they just aren't here yet yes so sometimes things take a little longer than expected yes absolutely there are all these systems and processes and everyone just doing the best they can that's all we can do that's right more questions actually we also have a question about Birthday Bash and what the gold star is , oh okay, I thought about that a little bit, Hamilton Mo, wait and see, oh boy, lol, so Missouri, uh.

So, Golden Star is a contest that we run and during the next tests that we run and over the next few days, every 10 purchases you make gives you one entry, enters you into the contest because we're going to choose 15 winners. come to Hamilton during the birthday party and they go shopping and take everything, so since it's our fifteenth year, we're going to do that, we'll put on a little

play

about it, yeah, Missy and Natalie, we're already trying to forget. that that happened when Jacob told us that this is what we wanted to do. I wrote him a note and told him momma doesn't rap and I spelled it wrap so he would know for sure I didn't rap, so I guess it was fun.

It was a lot of fun yeah yeah so we had to make the little video and it's a little contest that we're having and you can find they'll link it to this and then they also have the Birthday Party every September it's the uh anniversary from the opening it's our birthday party on the 22nd it almost always falls on the 22nd yeah it's a big party it's a big party so it's a birthday party because it's our birthday but and we

play

all the birthday games we do all the things in their place how we do cake walks but they're not for food cakes they're for layer cakes yes it's all fabric related so it's a lot of fun mainly you have to dance to get your prizes yes if you love it dance, yes, and they are watching. in music there are all kinds of little workshops and demonstrations all over the city all the stores we will have a big event for us the vendors come to town so there are fun things to buy they make food trucks on saturdays they make these huge birthday cakes out of fabric and Notions that you can buy raffle tickets, it's really fun, yeah, it's really, really fun, it lasts about three days, prank shows and designers, all the stuff.

We also have Missouri Star Academy, which is happening in June and I love it because that's how it is. For most of us we may love a designer, but the designer designs a fabric and goes to the fabric house he works for and then the fabric house sells it to the store, so you never get to interact with the designer and we. Bring in these designers from all over the world and you literally have little mini classes where every 45 minutes you go to another class, to another class, to another class, it's just a wealth of knowledge that you get to see, meet a lot of the designers and it's really a fun event, a lot of fun, so Missouri Star Academy is a great place to watch, see all the people you love, yeah, it's really fun, like a big cloth gathering, yeah, I mean, do we cover all things well?

I was just going to ask if we can talk about the quilt auction. We can definitely talk about that. Yeah, yeah, that's next week, so this is National Quilt Month. Yes, right now next week or the week after that, the quilts will be available. to bid online on the 21st, which is next Tuesday, okay, okay, and we'll have a

live

show on the 29th, which is the following Wednesday, yeah, so it'll be, I don't know how many quilts, at least 15. 15 exactly 15 quilts and 18 years and it's going to be yeah we're auctioning those off yeah and it's all to benefit Valor quilts this year yeah so we love that they benefit Valor quotes yeah but they will.

Be online for a week and you'll be able to bid on them and then we'll have a

live

event that we've never done before. It usually has that day too, but we got a lot of comments from people, a lot of people wanted them to do it. He said: can you put them online longer? and we were like, yeah, yeah, you'll be able to watch them and find out which one you want with the biggest deal during the week and then we'll have the live event and that'll be it. find out exactly and if you're interested in looking into that, maybe check out the website this weekend.

Well, keep an eye on social media, maybe you can register to bid very soon and all business will be done on your smartphone, whether in person or online. If everyone has the same way of bidding, just bid on your phone and then this Saturday is national quilting day tomorrow yeah, so today it's all of us, look, I have green earrings, okay, I'm on pincher, oh yeah, very happy Saint Patrick's day. yes, we are using an Irish and just one more little note about the quilt auction. yeah, generally you're going to love what's coming this year, it's amazing, so I've put it together, we have amazing stuff, that's true, but even so it's going to be. a masterpiece or a monster piece, we'll see, well if any of you have ever seen Edward Scissorhands, don't give it away on eBay, it's perfect, it's the best, you'll love it, it'll be great, okay? you'll love it or you'll hate it, but we'll have fun either way, we'll have fun, we do and by the way, I won't wear that for a week, just that night, that night, absolutely, absolutely, nothing else, oh, we.

We have a few more birthday parties, four, specifically, are there activities for non-quilters? Is there somewhere for spouses to go? We have a beautiful building called Man's Land and it's called Man's Land because it used to be a clothing store called Man's. land, but it is for non-quilters, there are 12 recliners, two televisions, a pool table, several vending machines and each recliner comes with its own remote control, the remote control is useless, it is just for you hold it for comfort, so it's the Comfort Remote. and that was my idea, by the way, I mean everyone my age.

I don't know why we can get rid of a TV, but we have to put away all the remote controls. I don't know why that's something we have remote control doors that I don't know what they're for, but anyway we provide every recliner with a remote control and it's fun, but there's also other things you can do. We have a reservoir where you can fish. We have an 18 hole uh. No golf course, it's a nine-hole golf course, but if you play it twice it's 18. Okay, okay, there are other local activities and we're close to Kansas City and, especially during the birthday party, there's always people who bring your whole family and there's little to do and take so even if you're not necessarily a quilter there are different things you can do we have a leather shop all kinds of fun things on Saturdays there's a big um like a whole complex of inflatable houses what happens. you know, it coincides with our local JCPenney days, so it's our big festival, yes, it's the steam engine show that is now, it will be next August in August, yes, a month before, okay , but yeah, it's very funny, it's very funny.

If you drive around you can probably find some tractors or lawnmowers. You never know it's an adventure every day here. What else is true? Oh, we have a question. Will there be more Triple Play books coming soon? I hope so. I think so. probably probably time for another one yeah, I can work on that, I love the ones I love, I'd like to do one of those a year, we'll see, we need to talk to the powers that be, yeah. Yeah, sure, and there's been a lot of love for this today, so there's the question, of course, would you consider doing Triple Play Live again in the future?

Well, sure, awesome, yeah, Triple Play Live is fun, we really enjoyed doing this, yeah, yeah, it's been great. Yeah, yeah, well, thank you all so much, this has been so much fun, this has been amazing, should we grab our quilts? Oh yeah, okay, we have to make our videos and say goodbye, like we always do. Okay, hold your block, hold my block oh no, okay. I'm going to try to get away from my arms. I'm going to use mine because it's more fun that way. Totally cold. You are cold and frozen. Oh wait, probably my microphone.

I probably can't say. It's okay, anyway, it's okay. thank you for joining us today and we hope you enjoyed this tutorial on The Hourglass block from the
