I am new to the DIY Dish. I love watching the episodes. I went to a scrap camp two weeks ago and told everyone about the cricut cake. And they wanted to know all about it. Keep the fun coming I love all the ideas.
I think I’d use that paper bag picnic basket to bring in fresh produce from my garden, then after a few uses, if it got too grungy, I’d just toss it in my compost pile!
I just love these quick projects. We have newly wed friends that this would be a perfect gift for. Off to the sewing machine I go!
great idea. Thanks for sharing with us and the downloads too.
Another great episode!!! Would love to win the GC to fabric.com! I LOVE their website!!!
Love the instructions for the quilt and placemats.
Sandi

You make the quilt look so easy. I’ve been threatening to make a quilt since Thanksgiving, but have felt too intimidated by it. I think I’ll have to get to it this summer. You’ve inspired me.
would love to do some fabric shopping. so many projects in mind
i love your new episode, thank you for the PDF. I’m new to quilting and don’t have much confidence, but I can’t wait to try your picnic pattern AND I’m looking forward to you second helping and seeing how you machine quilt and bind, those are the two skills that I really need to work on.
my basket holds bread, cheese, meat, fruit, and brownies! PICNIC FOOD! and water…
Great episode! I think the paper bag picnic basket would be cute way to package meals for families with new babies.. maybe with a package of diapers inside!
I signed up for the fabric.com mailing list.
I love this!! It might just have to be the first quilt I try!
What a great episode, and just in time for summer activities. Can’t wait to make them.
love the bag basket wrapping idea….plastic beach toys would be super cute wrapped that way!
as always i love this project……and the fabric is amazing! i wish you were on every day instead of once a week…….thanks so much!
just tweeted Episode 8 & the giveaway.
Great projects, lots of inspiration, and now an amazing giveaway… thanks!
Love this episode! The paper bag basket is adorable and a really fun prroject for kids to make and decorate! The quilt and placemats look like fun!
Thanks !
Gail
Cute basket for brown bags! I’m going to try that!
You girls are really cool, so relaxed and full of great ideas, and may I say have a good time doing the crafts. Look forward to each episode!!~ Keep up the great information sessions!!
More great ideas. I love the placemats especially. And since I only have 13 bins of fabric I could really use the fabric.com gift certificate, I could not find the right fabric the other day for a project and the nearest fabric store is about 40 miles. So on-line shopping wins big. I just wish I could feel the fabric too, lol.
Thanks again
Thanks for this episode! I love the picnic basket… what a great idea. And I like the idea to use it for gifts as well!
I love the picnic basket idea and I am going to use it as a summer gift with water toys for the kids. Love the quilt!
I love your ideas…keep them coming….
Cute Cute Picnic Quilt and ideals – thanks for sharing your talent.
I love your episodes! You both have a great show! We just moved to Utah a year ago. I saw you are also a Thurgood! Makes us cousins! When I was on Studio 5 Brooke asked if I knew you Kris, had to say no. I haven’t met any Thurgoods yet. I know they all settled here. We were the only California ones. I hope to win the Fabric!! Pick me, pick me!! Can’t wait to make the place mats! I’ll embed you to my site. kathysideastoshare.blogspot.com
Kathy
Can’t wait to see what is next!! Keep it coming!!!!
I just blogged about the giveaway, thanks for all your great contests!
This is a great gift idea! My family always has a grocery shower for the person getting married, how cute would it be to do a picnic themed gift and do the blanket and place mats!
I love the quilt. The hedgehog fabric is so cute!
I love fabric.com and am already signed up for their newsletter. Does that count for the third entry?
I anxiously wait for your new episodes to see what you are making next. I love the fabrics and love your sponsor, Fabric.com. Keep up the good job and I can tell you both have fun!!
I absolutely love the picnic quilt idea and matching placemats. I want to make them, but for some reason right now my Internet Explorer quits working when I try to download the pdf files. I’ll keep trying, though. I love your shows and your ideas!
I love the quilt! Very sweet!
Oh, by the way, I am on my way to Fabric.com now to check them out. I am a hopeless fabricholoc, too.
really enoyed this episode!love ur show!
I’ve used Fabric.com before, but never new they had an email newsletter. Even once you said there was a newsletter, it took me several minutes to find it. (And I’m quite internet savvy.) So a quick tip to Fabric.com, make the newsletter signup more prominent.
But I am signed up for the newsletter now.
Another great episode ladies. I am going to make a picnic quilt!!
WOW great episode!!! I have printed out the directions and ready to go shopping!! I have had the sewing bug all weekend….so this is the perfect cure! Thanks so much.
Thanks for another opportunity to win Big!
Melissa from Naches, WA
Cute fabric! I just can’t get enough fabric. Thanks for the ideas. You two are so cute.
I have signed up with Fabric.com too!

Melissa from Naches, WA
REALLY cute idea for the picnic blanket AND gift basket.
Love the frayed appliques on this quilt! Great episode girls!
I love the quilt, but I especially like the placemats and plan on making them!! Thanks for the great ideas.
You gals are right up my alley ~ now ~ with quilting. Really great idea! I am going to Fabric.com! As always, thank you!
Dar
I shared the link on fb.
The picnic basket idea was really cute especially when you added the handle it is going to be a great holder for the picnic gift i am going to make now
I love fabric.com and could definitely use $100 to spend there!
Great quilt. I like the floral placements, reminds me of my Grandmother’s!
I subscribe to the fabric.com newsletter!
Went to fabric.com and found some really cute dog prints to make a tote bag!! Signed up for the newsletters too! Thanks! Mary
Thanks for the idea for placemats. I’m excited to try working with oilcloth!
Loved the fabric and order a pattern!
Tina Osborne
I told my friend Jill about DIY dish and the cute quilt. I love the picnic basket gift wrap I think I’ll use it all summer.
Cute picnic quilt and looks really easy. I have purchased material from Fabric.com a few times and have been very satisfied. In fact I received 8 yards of fabric from them just yesterday.
Tina Osborne
I have been recieving Fabric.COM’s news letter for years and I look there first when ever I need fabric. Needless to say much of my stash comes from fabric.com.
Such a cute picnic quilt! Love the placemats-so easy. Keep up the good work, so enjoy your vidios.
Dj in MO
thanks again! Creativity was served and served with a smile. Who wouldn’t love some $$$ to spend on fabric? A friend and myself will be teaching sewing classes at our church this summer (our third summer) and we both love “fabric.com”. thanks again.
That is such a great give away. I can see a cute Easter bunny and stuff in that picnic basket.
What a fun quilt! I really need more crafting hours in my day so I can tackle a few extra crafts like this one. It would be fun to take camping with us.
Love Fabric.com, had just placed an order with them on Friday and would be willing to buy more!
I’ve been getting fabric.com newsletters for years.
I love the paper bag picnic basket idea. Awesome!
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=lf
I just did a blip on Facebook. The link is above.
What clever uses of the brown grocery bags! I thought having taught school for decades I’d created about everything possible, but now I learned one more! Too bad they’re as scarce as hen’s teeth at mainstream grocery stores; will have to make a trip to buy organic produce at W F just for the paper bags!
And I love the idea of the roll-up placemat/utensils wraps!
Keep the ideas coming,gals!
I’m so glad you posted all of the great fabrics you used! I love that quilt!
What a fun quilt. I have got to make this!
This is going to be perfect for that Bridal Shower I have coming up at the end of the month. Thought I would do it in the colors of the wedding it’s self.
Thank you for a GREAT idea
The picnic quilt and napkins are really cute. I would have never thought of a basket made of paper bags.
I can’t wait to make the placemats! My goal this year is to have a bunch of different placemats…..mostly seasonal or holiday oriented:) Thanks!!!
This looks like a fun, quick quilt to sew up.
Love the quilt. I’m new to the quilting world and any tips/help I can get is appreciated!! The paper bag basket was a fun idea, too!!
I facebooked the giveaway. Thanks.
I love fabric.com. I could get lost on there for a long time! I signed up for the newsletter.
Great idea! I especially like the paper bag idea for gift presentation!
And, Fabric.com’s discount is awesome. I can’t wait to tell my friends!
You have the neatest ideas! I just love to watch these episodes to see what you’ll come up with next. Thanks for these creative ideas.
Fabulous little project. I like the idea of a small quilt. We don’t picnic much, but I would use it for a sofa throw. Something bright and colorful! Thanks for entering me for the $100 GC to Fabric.com. I love those guys. I shop there all the time!
Great stuff, love the frayed applique.
Posting your video and giveaway info to my facebook page!

I’ve signed up for the Fabric.com newsletter. This could be dangerous…
cute Idea can’t wait to try it out!
I have used Fabric.com before and I love it. I think I will use the paper bags for baby shower I’m attending because we all need to think GREEN!!!!
What a great gift idea. There is always a need for something like this. Thank you.
Also just twittered your new episode and the giveaway! Here is the tweet: http://twitter.com/ZaftigDelights/status/13805405029
What a great episode! Easy quilt and I love the easy basket idea – I can “see” a large fabric napkin inside sitting on a buffet to hold the rolls at a graduation party or Father’s Day picnic — smaller bags for smaller crowds.
If you put a sturdy bottom in (think rubbermaid or tupperware lid or even a wrapped piece of corrugated plastic or cardboard) wouldn’t these make pretty planters for that family picnic or teacher appreciation luncheon? Set in a row of your not yet planted geraniums in the plastic pots they come in and you have a pretty centerpiece – and could even give the potted plants away as favors – see this is what happens to me, I always get carried away!! Thanks for the great episode
what a nice idea with the oil cloth ,well have to make some table matts and i just love making quilts so can,t wait to see others parts from the diydish show to see the final complete quilt,well i knew all about this great fabric website been a customer and have been very happy with all my purchase,s thank you fabric.com from one very happy customer
Great Idea I will make one for each family for Christmas. Love your show.
Great idea for a picnic or camping! I will have to see how many placemats I can get done before our Memorial day campout
Very cute quilt! Great episode as always!
Another great episode. Where do you get all of these ideas?
Love fabric.com. Can’t wait to start receiving that newsletter.
Thanks again Kris and Kim, for another great tutorial! I am definitely going to make a picnic quilt and also check out Fabric.com! I hope I win the $100. because I am absolutely a FABRIHOLIC!!! : )
I linked your Episode to my website. I hope you get lots and lots of hits!
Great Idea! I have a wedding coming up soon and have been wondering what to give the bride and groom. Now I know! Thank you.
Hi another gr8 episode…..ive been saving on patterns as i just want 4 your episode to see what i can make..:) more money to spend on fabric …yipee!! Cant wait til next week …impatient ..yep !! Cheers Dee
Hi Ladies, as always FABULOUS webisode! You did a great job on the quilts and those placemats WOW–so cute, so easy! I will definitely be making these for my daughter’s teacher as an appreciation gift– and of course I will be putting it inside that eco-friendly basket! LOVE IT! GREAT JOB LADIES! Heading to fabric.com right now! Oh and thank you for the chance to win!!!
Good idea! colocar las revistas (magazines) en una canasta de papel (decorada) en una esquina de la oficina God bless!
I love the Picnic Quilt and I’m thinking it would be a great birthday gift for my daughter. She has 4 children and they love to picnic!!! And I’d love to have some of Fabric.com’s beautiful fabric.
Love the placemats. Just in time for summer family reunions and other picnics. Thanks!
Love everything about this episode. Can’t wait to make the basket idea out of little colored bags. Make great Easter baskets next year;o)
Well… a friend’s son just got engaged last week. I think I will make them a picnic quilt using a grape themed fabric then add two plastic wine glasses and a bottle of wine for those romantic nights on the beach or a sumer concert in the park. Or maybe use a chili pepper fabric and include some Margarita mix, Tequila and some margarita glasses. Ooooooh the possibilities are endless.
Always love your ideas.
Love the picnic basket idea =) Great packaging for a gift! So cute! Love the straightforward picnic blanket and placemats. Great episode!
I can’t wait to use the coupon from fabric.com!!! Yippee!!! Love fabric and can NEVER have enough. Also LOVE your quick and easy quilt and placemats…Fab idea! Joyce
Love the quilt and place mat ideas. In going back to episode five to refresh my memory about the frayed flower, I fell in love AGAIN with the burlap bag. Did you make that too, or is it a purchased item that you brought home and decorated?
I love the picnic basket nd I have to get some of the Michael Miller hedgehog material:)
I signed up for Fabric.com email and newsletter:)
You two are so cute. You have wonderful ideas. Thanks for sharing them with everyone. I have two weddings this month and the picnic blankets will be a great gift.
Love the quilt and your fabric choices….keep up the good work girls!!!
I always look forward to Tuesdays to see a new webisode. I too, am a fabric-holic!
I love the frayed flowers and fabrics! I’ll use your paper picnic basket idea to make an additional wedding gift for a new happy couple ‘deep in the heart of Texas’. BBQ fixin’s, chips and salsas and a nice bottle of bubbly. The bottle will be wrapped in a repurposed denim jeans leg (cut about 12′ from cuff and with raw edges sewn together to form a western wine bag. I’ll tie it all together with torn bandanna fabric for a scrappy ‘home on the range’ look.
As we say in Texas, Bless Yore Heart for the cute ideas and inspiration.
I tweeted this:) mdmickey
You ladies continue to amaze me. WOW! Great fabric choices.
I use the painters blue tape to mark my places on the sewing machine. I works really good.
loved this episode! the bag-basket is a great idea!
love the show, love Fabric, i think i’m a fabric junky
Great job guys. You did great! Can’t wait to see the studio all finished up:)
so glad to see some quilting projects on here!
fabric .com is a great site! I have been using it for months. Thanks for this episode. I am one of those people who have never but always wanted to make a quilt. Great gift pak too.
What a great episode! I still have yet to make a quilt so this will likely be my first! I can’t wait to get started! Oh and those Michael Miller fabrics are truly adorable!!
What a wonderful project and gift idea! Love the quick and easy way the placemats go together and coordinate so well with the picnic quilt. I made a picnic quilt with matching mapkins and basket liner last year for my wedding anniversary so my hubby and I could enjoy our special day in a special yet simple way. I can really see your picnic quilt/placemat project being whipped up for many gift giving opportunities. Oh, and LOVE the fabrics!
I also posted a link to this with info about the $100 gift certificate on facebook and on Twitter!
I just signed up for the newsletter at fabric.com What a great site!
Love your project ideas and getting the pdf instructions is fanstatic. Really appreciate all the hard work!
This was probably my favorite episode yet! Fast paced and moving right along. Nice just to have the pdf form there for specifics although some viewers might need more visuals if they have no quilting experience. I loved it! And what a great presentation idea! LOve that too!
I told Kate about this episode and the giveaway…she too loves fabric!
I absolutely love the picnic quilt and all the accessories. I’ve shopped Fabric.com for several years and have never been disappointed. I did not know, however, that they have oilcloth. I’ve been looking for it everywhere. Thanks for the wonoderful episode and all the details.
I cut up an old tshirt of my husband’s and made a tube top of it. I didn’t want the graphic that was on the shirt so I used the applique idea you shared last week and cut long strips of jersey fabric and scrolled them into flowers and curls all over the front of the shirt. It turned out really cute. thanks for the idea!
PS, I also embedded the DIY episode on my blog.

Hi, my name is Michelle and I am a fabricaholic!! I love fabric. I love the feel of it, the smell of it… you get the idea. When my sons were little, they would start to cry when we pulled into the Fabric store parking lot because they knew we’d be there for a loooong time. Thanks for the episode on making the quilt top. Very cute.
I have used Fabric.com for years. They never disappoint. This line of fabric looks so happy.

I buy most of my fabrics from them and I have never been disappointed in the fabrics that I have gotten. I signed up for their deal of the day email and look around their website almost every day. I wish I had unlimited time and money to spend there.
I love diy dish.
You have inspired me to do some sewing.
I am heading on over to register at fabric.com and put an order in.
I also have some great business ideas to start using after watching you.
thank you very much
karen
you can never have too much fabric. Love the Amy Butler fabric.
I think this gift basket would make a fun wedding gift. Thanks for all the ideas.
Love the episode! The brown bag basket could hold stuff for a kid birthday gift- frisbee, chalk, bubbles, sun hat, sunblock, shovel, pail, etc. Thanks for the ideas!
I love fabric.com. Please, please, please pick me!!
I’m a craft and fabric-holic! Thanks for all the great ideas!
I can’t wait to make the quilt. I think I may use the paper basket for my father’s day present. Love DIYDISH!!
This is darling! You may have solved my end-of-the-year teacher’s gift problem!!
Just shared the video on Facebook!
I’m gonna definintley enjoy watching DIY Dish this summer! Thanks for the great tut. xoxoxxo
A great idea. I need to make this. Thank you for the ideas.
Always look forward to the upcoming videos! Always something new and creative!
love the show keeep up the great work
going to pei this summer that picnic quilt ill come in handy
Another great show. I’m making that quilt!
What a wonderful combination gift…Paper bag basket looks very easy to make too…
Thank you ever so much
Found Fabric.com quite awhile ago and completely satisfied with my purchases from them and is the website where I spend hours upon hours looking at their fabrics and their other specials.
I posted the episode and contest details(with code offer) on my facebook page.
I went to fabric.com and signed up for their newletter. I really loved this site and want to win this one bad! pick me…pick me!!!
Summer is coming and a picnic quilt would be sew nice. Especially with the matching placemats. Thank you so much for more terrific ideas.
As always loved the show. I wished you had a show on tv. Brenda
Adorable and easy…would be a great present for my adult daughters & family
I love to make quilts, this looks fast and easy. I also love fabric and sometimes I feel like a have a fabric shop in my own home. I am excited to go to the fabric.com. not been there before. I am e-mailing this to my daughters who sew. Thanks for sharing….
Got my new Lazy Girl Designs Margo purse pattern and expect to be making some of them over the summer months with some of the fabrics I purchased at Fabric.com.
Love the DIY DISH!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Wow, I love that basket and quilt. Too cute!!
Wow! Love this! Looks totally doable for a quilting newbie! Can’t wait to try it
I always think of quilts as being tons of work–thanks for a quick easy one!
I loved this episode. What a fun project for my daughter’s to do as their first quilt! This summer I am sewing new curtains for our shared little girl room and for my new kitchen.
Yes, I am a fabricoholic too! I love the fabrics you chose for the quilt. It looks so fun! I think the basket idea is cute. I’m thinking it would be a great “green” shower or new bride gift by adding natural cleaning supplies and sponges, with some old ripped up cotton t-shirts for rags. Or for the sewer/crafter, fill it up with ‘found’ assorted skeins of yarn, fabrics from yard sales (like sheets or clothes made out of neat fabrics to re-fashion clothes or do crafts), bead stuff, or other items of interest to the person in mind. I love your shows and am always interested to see what you come up with next.
What an awesome idea. I am going to use that with a group of kids as a fun go along for a story book.
Thanks, gorgeous fabric.
How fun!! Great video! I look forward to trying to make the quilt!
I just recently found Fabric. com and love all the choices there. Your blanket and placemats are wonderful. I can see them in a bright kid’s fabric with placemats with each child’s name appliqued on them. They’d be great for a lunch at the park or on the patio. Thanks for more great ideas!
Great show ladies! What an adorable quilt, so sweet! I love all the fabrics, they are just so cheerful and vibrant. I also love the basket idea. I can see filling it with baby things for a shower, or Easter goodies at Easter time and how about some wonderful supplies for a Crafter?

I’ve never tried quilting, but this seems like a pretty foolproof way to start! I think filling the paper bag basket with gardening supplies would make a fun gift, and then the recipient could continue to be “green” by using the empty paper basket to recycle their newspapers. Keep the great ideas coming!
Love your shows…this quilt and place mat look doable!
Off to check-out Fabric.com!
Making a quilt is on my bucket list!!
Wow, awesome video and what an awesome giveaway!! (pick me, pick me, pick me!!!)
<3
Fabric.com is great! The design wall feature will be a great help.
Love the placemat. What a great idea. Thank you. I have so much fabric in my home but every time I want to make something I pout because I don’t have any of the really cool fabrics that are so popular today like the ones you used in the quilt. I have boring stuff that’s all matchy matchy and subdued. I would be thrilled to win a fabric.com shopping gift because then I could buy some of the really awesome fabrics. I LOVE fabric.com because it’s set up so well and it’s so easy to search around the site for things.

Fabric.com is one of my favorite places to shop for fabric.
Nice idea! Also great idea for a picnic at the beach or camping trip.

I sooooo love the picnic idea. Our family loves outdoors and picnic. The Amy butler fabric you used are AWESOME. Im making a quit out of those exact fabric. GREAT TASTE!!!!!!
Love this episode ladies! I was thinking that paper bag basket would be fun to fill with park activities for the kids. A frisbee, velcro ball set, bubbles, sidewalk chalk etc. Can’t wait to make the placemats too.
Thanks for the ideas!
i just love the paper bag basket. You could use it as a center piece with fresh fruit at a picnic or
gift bag with potted flowers. Thanks so much for all your wonderful ideas.
Love the colours in the quilt-I have a shower and wedding coming up and it gives me ideas!
Thanks

cute idea!! love the fabric choices
I would make a Japanese inspired quilt and a sushi basket for my in-laws
Greta
What a great quilt! Thanks! And I could sure find lots of ways to spend $100 at Fabric.com!
What a cute and yet simple, but still elegant gift idea.
What a CUTE idea!! I can’t wait to find some time to give this a try!! Thank you so much. Off to share this link on my Facebook page! Thank you!!
I recommend trying fabric.com as well. Here’s a tip: their swatches are inexpensive and a really great way to “try on” the more expensive fabrics like the faux leathers and more expensive home decor fabrics. And fabriholics can also earn frequent buyer points that can be applied to future purchases. I enjoyed the webisode and will definitely try my hand at quilting. Thanks Kris & Kim for a great starter project!
I love fabric also, guess thats why my second job is in a fabric department. I will be checking out fabric.com
that is such a cute idea for the paper bag picnic basket. i think it would be good for gifts at a bridal shower or a teacher ‘summer-off’ kind of gift.
and the fabric is beautiful. you wouldn’t have to sew that well with such fabrics to work with. they look adorable just on the roll.
Love the picnic quilt and place mats.
I am loving this idea! We’re having a “family picnic” next month in Napa…and I don’t have a picnic blanket! I better start making one!
Love the placemat. So easy to make
That is a wonderful picnic blanket. I’ll have to make one soon!
I just discovered fabric.com — now I’m signed up for the newsletter! Great deals.
Great job, ladies what a wonderful idea for an easy quilt.
Wonderful project… can’t wait to do this one.
I just went on a picnic at the park and was thinking I needed a cute picnic blanket. I’ve made one quilt but am inspired to go for another one. I can’t wait to make this!
Your shows are getting better and better. I love the idea of a simple quilt, which is something I’ve always wanted to do. Keep up the good work!
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER INSITE TO A GREAT PROJECT, I WILL SPREAD THE NEWS OF YOUR GREAT PROGRAM DIY DISH OFFERS!
What a pretty little quilt and such a generous giveaway, I love fabric.com!
Keep up the good work!! ☺
Great tutorials. Like the frayed flowers.
You kids are great with colors, I love bright colors! I would love to have that in my house as a table cloth. and matching placemats. Must do, thank you.
Loved this episode! My daughter’s good friend is getting married in a few weeks; think I have the gift all figured out now, thanks to you!
)
One question, please!!! What’s the finished size of the picnic quilt? Love It!!!
I love this quilt! Perfect perfect for the park! I’m going to make one in the next 2 weeks (it may take me that long only because of the baby!!)
Love it! And that bag “picnic” basket is too cute!
I’m posting about it on my blog! Sharing the love! Thanks Kim and Kris!
Wow Wonderful as always… you are the best !!!
I really enjoyed your video of the Picnic Quilt and the Placemats. I would like to make that set for my children and their families.
Thanks for the motivation.
Grandbaby due next week and this basket idea will be great in giving the Momma and Baby their treats. (Diapers, cream, outfits, disposable cameras to be kept in all rooms etc.) You could use your stamps to decorate the bag too. Maybe even make the quilt with a baby theme too! Such possibilities I can’t wait to try.
I love Fabric.com. I have visit them for the past year. Great site!
Love the picnic quilt idea. How long does it take to make this quilt? I am interested in possibly using the idea for a summer kids camp and need an idea how long it takes to make.
THANKS
I love this episode!!! Great for summertime classes/gifts! I made a picnic blanket last fall for a wedding gift and it was so much fun – love the raw edge applique embelishment – off to order some fabric

Totally loved this episode. Everything is totally cute! You guys rock! Now I’m off to check out fabric.com.
I have been receiving daily news from fabric.com for quite a while, I love their site!
I absolutely love this! I now have instructions so I can make a great birthday present. When you demonstrated making the basket in 1 minute 15 seconds I sat up straighter and took notice. That is a Godsend for me. I now have a way to make a homemade basket for my gifts. You ladies are amazing and I anxiously await each show. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Loved the episode and the presentation of the gift is darling.
Yet another wonderful video! I was so excited to see that the topic was a great quilt. I want to make a quilt so bad, but had no idea where to start. Thank you for making it look so easy, thank you for sharing a great pattern, and thank you for the inspiration!
I sent the e-mail I recieved earlier today to my sister so she can watch the video. I know she’s going to love the post it note trick! We are both trying to learn to sew:)
Hi girls love episode 8 the bag is super thnks for sharing take care x
Hope I win this one!
I am always looking for cute & quick sewing projects for my 4-H girls. This is perfect!
I just watched episode 8. This was my first one as before I had only dial-up and watching any video was a pain. I still have a lot of streaming delays, but was able to get the whole program. I enjoyed the topic of the picnic quilt and the place mats. I am already planning a couple of sets for weddings this summer! Thanks for your creativity.
I checked out the sponsor after the last episode and found a lot to like ……..so I’ll be heading back to pick up a few items. Thanks for mentioning fabrics,com I didn”t know about them but now I’m glad I do. Looking forward to the next dish episode.
I have every week a lot of fun watching you two!!…… the easy things that you show makes me think to try something else but quilting.
Since I´m a quilter I knew already fabric.com, they have great things you can find there!!!.
Thank you for the inspiration!!
I loved this episode! I’m going to make a picnic quilt for both of my daughters. The picnic basket idea is so creative. Thanks!
I just love the picnic quilt it is soooo cute! Can’t wait to make it.
Thank you
Joan
Love this show love fabric.com thanks for all you share!

Using the oilcloth is a great idea for the placemats! I’m on my way to buy some and if it’s not available, I’ll be at fabric.com later today! I love your show and the gift bag idea is perfect for the baby quilt I just made – the parents are both eco-conscious and I don’t have time to sew a bag, and was worried about what I can do. I’m going to stamp the outside bag and decorate it a bit. Thanks!
I have never made a quilt. I appreciate your pattern and directions. I think I can actually do it. Thanks!
This is a great idea for a picnic quilt! I love the idea of using oil cloth for the placemats. I have used oil cloth for home made sacks for lunches, now another idea!
I am signed up with fabric.com. As a matter of fact, I have been ordering from fabric.com for over a year now. I LOVE them! Their selection is fantastic, free shipping is always a plus (better than taking 2 kids to the store to pick out fabric), and they almost always have discount codes in addition to all the sales! LOVE them!!
Hello Ladies
I love this picnic quilt – My husband & I at the moment seem to be spending most saturdays watching our son rowing & I have been looking for a picnic blanket to sit on (& wrap around me when the wind blows) – this would be absolutely perfect
Thanks so much for all your inspiration!
Love the paper gift basket. These would be great for kids to make and decorate for an Easter Basket. The quilt and place mat are so adorable and can’t wait to try one. Tnanks again.
Love the bag basket!!! I always love something different.
Whooo Hoooo!! What a great Idea for oil cloth! Thanks a bunch for the quilt pattern too. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos!
Great show–loved the ideas on the basket and cute projects–thanks!
This quilt is sooooooo cute.
Love the placemats and quilt. I’m making the whole set for a wedding gift. I love fabric.com. Purchased yardage with the words from Veggietales and made aprons for our group of volunteers who prepare a community dinner once a month. Everyone loved them.
What a cute project for summer – can’t wait to give it a try and love Fabric.com.
I love Fabric.com! Been a fan for years. Great quality of fabric and great customer service. I can easily spend $100 on their site!
Oh… very cute quilt! Thanks so much for the pattern! I like all the accessories that go with it also!
I am signed up for the newsletter at fabric.com… I love that site! It would def. be fun to spend $100 there!
I love Fabric.com! They have not only great fabrics, but the most tempting sales!! I also love the Picnic Quilt and it’s just what I’ve been looking for to make a blanket to bring along to all the kids’ sporting events.
I enjoy every episode, thanks for sharing many ideas and savings. You gals truely are amazing!
Woooo!!! Fabric.com is amazing!! I could find a million ways to use that $100.
The quilt and placemats sound like one of the projects I’ll be making…. 
Great picnic quilt!!! I would love to win the $100 to spend with Fabric.com.
Love the quilt & placemats. Great idea!
I don’t know if I have ever wanted to win a giveaway more than now! My favorite thing is to figure out which baby or cousin or friend to make something for because my creations always end up being given away. Thank you for a generous giveaway!!
I am now a newsletter subscriber to fabric.com.
The gift basket is so “Green”, what a fantastic idea. I plan on filling it with my grandaughter’s favorite foods, cheese and bread, and taking her on a picnic when her sister is born.
Love the quilt, can’t wait to make my own.
cute show, can’ wait to try the quilt!!!, congrats to the cricut winner, I am so jealous!!
Great idea for concerts and movies in the park.
I’m not a quilter, but you make it look so fun!! Fabric.com is one of my favorite places….so the gift certificate would be FANTASTIC!!
SO FAR I’VE ENJOYED EVERY EPISODES. KEEP UP THE GOOD SHOWS.
The quilt is absolutely adorable. I can’t wait to give it a try!
How cute are those hedgehogs!!!
What a great gift for myself!! I can’t wait to make one of these for myself and one for my daughter.
I’ve never worked with oilcloth, I may have to give it a try.
Great twins. Best episode yet. Love it. Keep the sewing ideas coming.
Going straight to fabric.com now to order.
Another idea for the brown paper gift bag: how about doggie treats.
Embroider pet’s name on wide ribbon to wrap it all up. Add a quick
triangle kerchief for the dog.
I have shared this video with friends today
Loved your picnic quilt idea with the frayed flower. I needed an idea for a tote bag, sot he frayed flower is perfect. Thanks, Christina
Love this project!
What a fun idea! 
I especially loved those easy oilcloth placemats…those are great! 
I had an idea for those cute paper bags too – I think they’d make great baskets for holding baby shower items! 
You could even put a quilt in there along with baby diapers, pacifiers, toys and more. 
Thank you for another great DIY dish episode!
~Miss Rachel P.~
I love this quilt!!! It is so cute and I love the hedgehogs! I can’t wait to get started on making my own and I can think of several people to be making them for. I checked out fabric.com and my oh my I could really get in TROUBLE there…I LOVE IT! Thanks for the fun project.
I love this! I missed my cousins wedding and can’t wait to make this as a gift to send! Thanks bunches, Beth
Can’t wait to make this quilt, it is going to be sooo cute, and I can’t wait to use it either!

Also, I signed up for the fabric.com newsletter!
LOVE IT!!! I love quilts, just learning how so might try this one. My little ones are wanting to learn also so it might be a family made quilt. Pkus my girls love to have picnic’s so they would love to make those placemats too. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas. Those paper baskets could be used for so many things, like gifts for teachers, baby showers, birthdays. Love the idea..
I love this project- I am not a seamstress- but I think I will try this one. My only excuse for not sewing is I’m afraid I will become a fabric-holic too. I am an avid scrapbooker- so I am already a paper-holic!
Anyway- I think I will make these for all of the football fans (Oregon State Beavers) in my family. They love to tailgate and these would work great. I will fill the basket with all of the tailgater requirements- BBQ sauce, chips and dips plus a pennant flag and some pom poms.
Love this project. Can’t wait to try it.
Loved this project. I have some oil cloth I didn’t know what to do with so this will be perfect. I am very excited to make everything. I have 3 wedding this summer and this is what they are going to get!
Great project! I’ve been looking for an idea for the oilcloth in my stash! Love your show!
I can’t wait to make this!!! My youngest daughter is turning 6 next month. I want to make this picnic quilt in adorable animal prints from Fabric.com and take it with us to the zoo for her birthday. I thought animal crackers, monkey bread, and a map of the zoo would be great to put in the paper “picnic” bag. Although she’s only 6. I know she’ll treasure this b-day gift!
Love this project. I have a friend who has a hedgehog. He’s been asking me to make him a quilt. I think this is the perfect fabric. Thanks!
Once again, oh so Fabulous!!! You all are so crafty and I love how you used this for a picnic quilt, but I have to say… I also love that you can not only apply this to a picnic basket but a baby blanket for a girl or a boy! So your basket out of paper bags, you could put cute baby blanket, diapers, toy, onesie with applique on, and an oil cloth diaper changing pad. How simple is that!
Love this idea! I’d love to make one for my nephews!
I emailed this video to my mom, too. I know she’s just going to love that coupon code
Thank You so much for giving the instructions and video for this awesome Quilt and Placemats! And Thank You for a chance to win
I could really use $100 of fabric!!!
I made some pillows for my boss from your 1st vid so know that Im telling everyone that will listen what a great Quilt this is going to be and all about your wonderful vids and instructions
I blogged about the pillows and they were very well recieved! Thanks for a chance to win!!!!
Already a fan and customer of Fabric.com
Thanks for a chance to win!!!
Beautiful picnic quilt and applique. Thank you!
I love fabric.com and get the newsletter. Thanks!
Just signed up for e-newsletter at Fabrics.com! Great selection and they had some of my fabric up there!
Just loved the quilt and plan to make one. Love Fabric.com as well. Have purchased from them and been totally satisfied. Plan to make a baby basket for my daughter who is having a baby by putting in a baby quilt, baby wash, baby powder, and all of the baby things needed when they arrive home from the hospital. If time, I will also make a basket for her, as Mom’s need TLC, too. Her basket might include a coupon for a facial and a note that I will come do laundry, cook, clean, or babysit for a day as well as lotions, manicure stuff and things that make her feel special.
Love the quilt! I am just starting to get into quilting and I will have to try this one!
This idea came just at the perfect time since I have been looking for a wedding present in 2 weeks. I know I wanted to make it myself but not sure what!!! Thank you!!!
Neat quilt! I need to get my sewing area cleaned up again so I can spend time sewing every day. I’m so behind on all my projects and I keep seeing new things I want to make! Love the program!
I am on the e-mail list for fabric.com. Awesome website!
I LOVE this picnic set! I’m also a huge fan of fabric.com. I love the quilting that you did on the quilt also…I’ve never actually quilted anything but I might have to try this one!
Hey who doesn’t need more fabric??? But I might get stuff for my beautiful daughter Tiffany who is starting a sewing course this coming weekend. I saw a gift box idea online with sewing notions in a plastic container and I would love to do something like that for her. Especially good scissors and cutter, if these aren’t right, nothing else goes well in sewing. So please pick me!!!!
Woohoo! I won a Sewing Green Book. After you guys mentioned I checked it out online and almost bought one. Do I need to send you guys me address???
love this picnic quilt
I love the hedgehog fabric! Perfect for a picnic quilt and placemats! The quilt looks like a great 1st quilting project that I can try and I not be intimidated! Thanks for a great show.
I LOVE the fabrics you chose for this project. I think this is the inspiration I needed to make my first quilt!! Another ideas for the cute paper bag basket for me would be to fill it with gardening supplies, herb plants, etc. maybe as a housewarming gift or “welcome to the neighborhood” idea.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I will not be doing much crafts until later this summer. The Army is moving us to Texas. So I will be getting back to sewing and crafting in Aug.
I have been in the market to make a quilt for my family! THis looks super cute and super fun. I am definately going to try it out!
The quilt would be a great baby quilt and the placemat, perhaps made larger, would be a nice changing pad for a new baby. Liked the bag basket, too!
my friend and I have just started sewing together. We have accomplished a skirt and a church tote. I have been wanting to make a quilt! I have shared this quilt idea and program with lots of crafting and quilting friends.
Just signed up for fabric.com’s newsletter. Thanks for sharing this great site!
I just signed up on fabric.com! Wow! I never thought an online fabric store could be overwhelming! I am excited to see they have fat quarter packs. I have been looking for some for a different project.
I love the fabrics. Picnic Basket great idea. I might have to try this.
I love your blog and the placemats!!! Just found it today!
Thanks for the inspiration and the fun!
I really enjoy your videos and would LOVE to win a fabric gift certificate!
Looks so easy! I can’t wait for the second helping. The gift bag is oh so clever. What a great little project to do with the kids.
I LOVE the quilts. I hope to be able to attempt it soon!! Thanks for the great episodes.
Carla
Happily found this website from fabric.com newsletter! What a super cute easy quilt and fun gift. I am calling my mom and telling her about this place
Enjoyed the episode! I’m thinking that the paperbag basket would be perfect to also use for boys’ birthday presents! It’s so hard to find suitable packaging, expecially for the preteen and teen guys. Thanks for the know-how.
= ) Few of my family just placed an order at fabric.com ….
I love this episode and can’t wait to make the quilt. I’ve always wanted to try and make a quilt but was leary about all the measuring. This looks very easy to make and the fabrics are fun!
Thanks
Great little quilt. I’ve saved the pattern. Thanks. I might have to make one soon.
Carol
The paper bag basket would be an adorable way to give a gift to summer baby. Fill the basket with baby supplies and a homeade crib quilt! Love that you used Amy Butler fabric:)
I would love this gift certificate! Thanks for all you do to encourage everyone to make things themselves!
I especially like the placemats!!!
I shared this with my EtsyKids group. Thanks for the giveaway!
You ladies are awesome! I really enjoyed this episode…Posted about it on my FB group..I want to make the quilt as a teachers gift.. Thanks
The 3d applique in this rocks
VEry different!
I just received a sewing machine for Mother’s day. I have never sewn before and I can’t wait to give it a shot. I saw the project and the coment that if you have never sewn, no problem. I guess we will see. Can’t wait to get some fabric and get started. Thanks for the tutorial.
sweet!
Hello Ladies, I would use the basket for baby gifts for a friend, when one of us gives birth we all put gifts in a basket. I love the $100 give away because I live in the Netherlands and it is very hard to find those cute fabrics you use in the VS and when you find it it is very expensive too. Would love to hop on the airplain for a shopping trip, I even looked for opportunities to go to The Creative Connection! Maybe I should enter the lotery for but I am really hoping to win the $100 gift certificate.
Now that you are changing the studio, any change on projects for organizing the craftroom etc? I am planning on changing the attic into my sewing ”domain’ and I could use some ideas
Greetings from the Netherlands, happy crafting, Francisca

I really like the picnic quilt idea. I am going to order some oilcloth and make those placemats demonstrated in the video. I think they would be great to keep in the box in the car I keep stocked for those impromptu rest stop picnics.
Very Cute Projects Ladies! I really love the quilt and the gorgeous fabrics!!
Thanks for all the fun videos.
Thank you so much for sharing your love of crafts to me and the rest of the world, you inspire me greatly. I enjoy your web episodes so much. I look forward to the new ones soon.

Loved the picnic quilt and the great gift bag ideas.
I was looking for a quilt idea and poof there you are with just what I am looking for! I’m going to change the color palette and make it for my son as a going away present. He can use an extra quilt and place mats as well. Your episodes are awesome, thanks!!
Thanks for sharing ladies! Please enter me for the $100 gift certificate with Fabric.com and thanks for introducing me to them!!
I have been loving Fabric dot com for about two years now. I am already on their mailing list.
Love the quilt, looks like it would be good for a beginner!
Cute idea! Will have to do this.
Love the picnic quilt & placemats – I was looking for a gift inspiration last night, and you ladies have delivered it! Thank you so much. I really look forward to a 2nd Helping, especially your tips on machine quilting & the binding. As a mum/self taught sewer I’m always looking for a better way to do things. My daughters change school next year and I have some wonderful and dedicated PTA friends that deserve a special thank you. What’s lovelier than something home made and these will be just perfect.
Very clever gift basket with the picnic supplies. The quilt is beautiful and the placemats are very practical with the utensils included.
I signed up for their newsletter at fabric.com
Loved this episode! Can’t wait to share this with my Sewing Group! They think I am a genius when I come in with what I’ve been making! I always tell them to check your site out ! Love the brown paper bag basket! Now I’m going to have to ask for paper when I go to the grocery store! Thanks for all your hard work.
The Shopping bag idea would be great for a recipe gift bag. At a recipe shower you are asked to provide one of your favorite recipes and the nonperishable ingredients for making the recipe.
These web-episodes are so much fun! Thanks!
Hello girls,
I like that idea of the paper bag basket. Some Italian bread, cheese and wine would go great in that basket! Try it with your significant other today!

This picnic basket is a great deal. I was planning to embrodery Ants on a table cloth and napking for a picnic basket but the quilt is a much better idea. Enjoy your show very much.
Really cute. I hope to think of a way to use the paper picnic basket idea in Vacation Bible School! Thanks!
The best idea I’ve seen yet! …and with picnic season right around the corner! Thanks…lovin’ it!!!
I love the picnic quilt as a tablecloth for the patio picnic table and the placemats are great rolled to keep napkins from blowing away. Thank you…!!!
Such a great idea! My little girls and I meet my husband for lunch once a week. It would be so fun to start meeting at the park now that the weather is warmer!
I emailed your video to a few friends!
Thanks for a great quick quilt! LOVE the placemats also and the great presentation idea of the paper bag basket!!! As always once again a great show.
I have passed your http://www.thediysida.com address onto 6 of my sewing friends for today’s episode. I wish I had my own blog because I certainly would share your link! Thanks for another great sewing idea!
I just went to Fabric.com and signed up for their newsletter. Thanks for letting me know about this great fabric source!
I can’t wait to pick out fabric and make the picnic blanket. Fabric.com is a great site!!!
i love the idea of the picnic quilt! The placemats are a great idea for family reunions too! Now my family will know where they are sitting with just a glance! I have been hesitant to try sewing with oil cloth, but you have given inspiration and courage to give it a try. Thanks so much!
Love the idea of the paper basket and the quilt is very cute! Thanks for the info about fabric.com, I hadn’t seen it before.
What a great blanket and I loved how you made the picnic basket. Great ideas girls.
I also just posted the link on my FaceBook and immediately had a reply from a friend that had never seen DIYDISH and was going to visit it! I also LOVE
Fabric.com!
Love it! I’m working on getting my fabric to gether to make the picnic quilt right now!
Love the picnic quilts! I’ve been wanting to try quilting but have felt a little intimidated. You gals make it look so fun and easy that I think I’m finally going to give it a try.
Just wondering where I could find the dress form pin cushion that was by Kim when she was at the sewing table sewing the quilt?
I am telling my friends about this one… such a cute easy pattern! I already used the coupon code at fabric.com and have the fabric for this quilt on the way!
The quilt looks great……more oil cloth ideas please!! Thanks for a chance to win. Good luck everyone!
I have been dying to make a picnic blanket style table cloth for the outdoor furniture. This pattern makes it so easy and fun! I can’t wait to get started! THANK YOU!
love your blanket…I am just getting into quilting slowly. I have been making cloths for my girls for a while, I tell everyone who will listen about your site..keep up the great work ladies, I love everything you all do. Sweet yummy baked good would be awesome in the cute little brown bag…
have a Scraptacular day,
pookie
Quilting can be intimidating but it really isn’t! Thanks for addressing those fears so many sewers have about quilting.
I’ve been a fabric.com user for awhile and have NEVER been disappointed with any of the fabrics I’ve ordered. Can always use more fabric in my stash for cute projects like the placemats!
Great show! Look forward to next week!
I love these ideas! Can’t wait to try the bag & placemat ideas. I will try to get a picture sent.
I am in love with the quilt and placemats! This looks like it would be a great starter project for me since I have not yet taken on quilting. The placemats are a perfect solution for toddlers using resturant tables. This would give them a clean eating surface. Hmmmm, I wonder if you could add small suction cups to the mat? That might help keep it in place. Fun, fun ideas!!! I love the show and I am looking forward to each new episode. Sure wish I could have won that cricut cake machine. I’ve been eyeing it at Michaels
**Just wondering if there was a trick to sewing oilcloth. I have used it before to make bibs (double sided) and it seems to stick under the presser foot.**
My grandmother that actually taught me to quilt passed away a few weeks ago and she left for me her stashes of fabric and sewing things. This will be a great project to try out on some of her old fabric. Thanks for inspiring me to dust everything off and start up again.
Just signed up for the newsletter! Can’t pass up a deal!
Thanks for sharing another great episode of DIY! I’m new to sewing and can’t wait to try this out! I hope I win the fabric.com giveaway too to help get me started!
I’m teaching my granddaughter to quilt, I will order some fabric from fabric.com and fill the basket that you had on today. What a wonderful idea. Great show!!
Oh so cute and easy!
Love it and can’t wait to start quilting! The Amy Butler fabric is my fave! So beautiful! You girls keep up the good work!
Love the bag! What a great birthday or Christmas gift bag. Awesome quilt…. not even going attempt that one, though. I’ll stick with paper bag folding!
Beautiful colors – love those fabrics!
Great episode!! Love the quilts you made and the placemats are too perfect =) Thanks for the inspiration!
What a great gift for a bridal shower. Love,love,love fabric.com. Really enjoy your shows and ideas!
Luv the quilt and that flower embellishment…ideas for cute paper basket, put a sturdy box inside for no worries when filling it up. Make smaller versions out of lunch bags and fill as table decorations.
Great giveaway, thanks.
I signed up for Fabrics.com newsletter.
Great episode – I can’t wait to make those placemats!! I would use the paper basket to hold a cute beach towel, a book for the pool or beach, a few bars of my homemade coconut lime soap and a jar of my brown sugar scrub for a fun, summer-y birthday gift!!
Just signed up for the fabric.com newsletter – now I’m going back to drool at the beautiful fabrics!!
I’ve always wanted to make a quilt, but have been too chicken to try it. Thanks for your help. I will be giving it a try this summer! Love the Place Mats too!
Very cute picnic blanket. I like the basket idea too. I’m going to try dressing up the edges after they are folded down with cute scrapbook paper and fill it with things to pamper yourself with (loofa, bath salts, lotion, chocolate, etc.).
I can’t wait to try out this quilt pattern! I really love the placemats as well! Fabric.com is one of my favorite online sources for fabric and I’m hoping to win the gift certificate so I can add to my growing stash!
Great Episode! I love the quilt and placemats. The paper basket would be great for breads and cheese as a housewarming gift!

I,m a quilter,so I love the picnic quilt.
But I really want to try the place-mats .
So many fun ideas!
I have always been a fan of fabric.com
I love the placemat idea!
What a cut way to do a basket! After the picnic they can become your trash bags. Great way to recyle those bags ladies.
I love the DIY Dish! Look forward to it every week! Thanks!
Such a cute and easy quilt! I would love to win some fabric to make me one! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love you two. SOOOO cute. And I love the quilt and placemats!

Would love a little fabric shopping spree – so fun!!! I’m headed to the fabric store tomorrow to get the fabric for a picnic quilt!!
Another great episode. Love the quilt and frayed appliqué.
I’m so excited! I have a reception coming up in a few weeks this would be perfect for! Thanks!
Awesome!
I love this quilt, how easy and cute! I would totally use the paper bag idea to gift a wedding present, in fact I have one next week, it will come in handy!
I love your quilt! Makes me want to go on a picnic right now! Thank you!
Love your webshow another great idea!
Love the quilt ideas!!!!
I have never made a quilt before and this one is so cute and seems pretty easy! How fun!
I watched your video, and I love the brown bag picnic basket or gift bag idea.
Love all these great ideas!!!
I love this company. They have really amazing organic fabrics.
Love, love, love it! I would use the basket as a “gift basket” more than a picnic basket, probably. The first thought I had was a “Breakfast in Bed Basket” with mugs, coffee or tea, a jar of honey and homemade scones. You could even include a small tray.
Thanks ladies!

Great instructional video on binding! Thank you.

Seems like each episode is better than the last. I love the way you wrapped the gift with the brown paper bags.

I love fabric.com!! I buy nearly all of my fabric there. I’ve made a couple of quilts before, but I love the idea of this picnic quilt. Maybe this will be the push I needed to get started back making quilts!
Love the Amy Butler fabric. I can’t wait to make this quilt!
This is the cutest gift idea ever!
love that cute quilt was wondering how it would look in Terry Cloth to use at the beach and the gift basket idea wow that can be used for so many occasions and it is being green by recylcling!!
I cannot wait to try the picnic quilt!
Missy

These projects are so cute! My girls would absolutely LOVE a fun picnic quilt. They are always wanting to have a picnic whether it is just on the front porch or on the living room floor. I am just getting back into sewing so this is so nice that a kind-of beginner like me can do it. Thanks!

My daughter and I are excited to try your picnic quilt! I have a friend who loves hedge hogs and maybe we will try to find some owl fabric. Outdoor toys for a day in the park would be great in your faux basket – or maybe they could be used (with another container hidden inside) for a beautiful flower arrangement.
L-u-u-u-v it.
Such fun watching you both! Fun and easy ideas…Pearl tells me she watches you daily now!
As usual this was a fun and delightful episode! I can’t wait to make them for gifts!
I loved the Fabric.Com website also! I signed up for their emails! Thank You again, Donna
I’ve always been intimidated at making a quilt. This is one I think I will try. Thanks for the great webisodes. The binding looks great!
I’ve sent an email to all my daughters about the DIY Dish webisodes and Fabric.com.
I subscribe to Fabric.com newsletter.
What a great gift idea. I’ve been looking for an idea for my sister-in-law’s birthday. This will be perfect!
The picnic quilt will make good graduation presents. Thanks for the ideas.
I have used Fabric.com in the past and have been very pleased with my purchase.
Great idea! As long as I have 4 paper bags I will always have a gift basket and it doesn’t take up any room. I think I will do a Go Green basket for my sister and put in some things for her garden, seeds, apron, tools, etc. Thanks for another great idea.
What a beautiful blanket! Kris and Kim you two are awesome!!! Thank you for all your wonderful ideas. Can’t wait for the next week! Thanks again.
I really love this project but only a fraction of how much I love your site and all the ideas you have. Your shows are great and your blog is super. Keep it up we need more craft shows like yours
This is the first time I’ve seen this blog and I have to saw that I’m hooked!!! This website it awesome. I can’t wait to explore it some more. Thanks for all you do.
I loved this episode. Thanks for making quilting seem so much easier. I enjoy you two.
I am in love with the picnic quilt… I think I am going to try and make one as a bedspread for my daughter. It is exactly what I have been looking for! I also am going to forward this video to my m-i-l so she can help me! Thanks! Oh and I am definitely crossing my fingers for the $100 gift card. I love fabric.com!
How pretty! I am inspired.
I LOVE Fabric.com, I buy from them frequently and could use some financial assistance!!
I already get the Fabric.com newsletter and so appreciate the 15% coupon…yahoo!! Don’t need more fabric, but hey I’ll be saving money!! Thanks!!
Love the episode! What a great idea!!! I am so in love with the picnic quilt. I will be making one to take to all the soccer games and impromptu tea parties over the next few months!
Fabric.com is great. I get their newsletters and can ALWAYS find a fabric that I MUST have on their site!
Just love you girls! You are soooo creative! Love the quilt and have been wanting to try making one. This is a great start! Thanks for your inspiration to me and others!
Love the quilt and placemats. Can’t wait to make them. Thank you.

Love you ladies!!
My family quilts, but I don’t. What an awesome talent.
Have loved each episode. Great ideas for myself and gifts. Look forward to next project.
Cute picnic blanket, i love it!
I signed up for the newsletter!
What a cute project! I especially love the quick picnic “basket”. I want to borrow that idea when taking a meal to neighbors or family members. Very adorable. Thank you so much for sharing all of your creative ideas!
Keep coming up with the cute gift ideas. This one is perfect for all the quilt fabrics I have been stashing over the years. Even some of the mismatches will look cute in a picnic quilt.
Great ideas for a simple quilt – lets see…..maybe a wedding gift of picnic things????? Fun. Thanks!!
Thanks for the link to fabric.com. It was my first time visiting that website, and it’s full of interesting products. Also when you sign up as a preferred customer, in addition to receiving the newsletters, they’ll offer coupons as well. Plus their blog has additional crafts and projects. Really fun site, thanks so much for recommending it.
I love your quilt pattern. I can’t wait to get started. We are planning on going camping this summer and having lots of picnics. This quilt will be great for both. Thanks.
Can’t wait for my order from fabric.com gets here next week!
Just found your site. Love all the creative ideas. Amy Butler Fabric is the best.
I am loving the DIY dish, it’s so helpful and interesting, thanks for a great show.
Somehow I ended up on your DIY site – and love it! The picnic quilt is just too cute! And the giveaway from fabric.com – how much better can it get? Thank you!
And of course I am already signed up for the fabric.com newsletter! Thanks again! As you said: it’s like a candy store (but you don’t put on weight…)
Great idea and love the fabric choices for both quilts!!
Love the quilt and placemats, and the basket idea!
Just love to make recycled projects and your picnic basket from brown paper bags is just terrific!
TY for the patterns for the quilt and placemats and applique.
Loved the picnic basket gift bag. Makes a wonderful way to present any type of gift. Thanks for the great idea.
Very cool way to use oil cloth…
Love the fabrics used in the quilt, great ideas for gift bag and placemats.
Great fabrics used in the quilt, cute placemats and gift bag idea, really happy you will use the items you make to decorate the studio!
Loved the video. I found you thru my FABRIC.COM newsletter.
I am glad I happened onto the Fabric.com website, thus finding your website. (I found it through MyPoints.) I really enjoyed watching the two of you. I was thinking there are all kinds of uses for the “paper basket”. Could put baby items in it for a baby gift. Items to take to the beach. Bridal shower gift with linens, soap, etc. Fill it with children’s items for a birthday gift. The possibilities are endless. This sure makes a cute alternative to the “gift bag”. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks for the coupon code and tutorial! Fabric.com is great! I hope to sew a lot this Summer and relax.
I have two weddings this summer and this will make a great gift for them. I love Fabric.com and have purchased lots of fabric from them. Thanks for continually giving such great project ideas.
I love the picnic basket…I’m going to find lots of uses for it! I will be busy sewing quilts this summer! Thanks for showing us some easy ones.
Love it, Thanks. It is saved in my sewing favorites.
I love watching and learning from the DIY videos. I would love to win the gift certificate from Fabric.com. I make quilts and this would help me so much with my stash. The frayed applique is a greaty idea. karmicraft
I’m a knitter who wants to become a quilter too! Thank you so much for this opportunity!
I love this quilt. I will be excited to start, maybe then even venturing into doing one for my daughter’s bed. Cute. love the flowers too!

Adorable quilt and applique! The gift bag idea is so fun. You girls are great, I’m hooked!! Can’t wait to get started !!!
Wow! So I found you guys on fabric.com looking for some cheap fabric. This is so cool. I just saw this video and was super blown away at how easy it was to make a quilt that cute! I look forward to the next video!
ps I would fill the bag with chocolate… lots of chocolate…….. and maybe some popcorn, because the two just go well with each other and a super cool movie. Like “The Fountain” or “Ink”.
or something with Jim Carry.
