12 years, 6 months, and 20 days ago my son died in my arms. Sewing saved my life. He would help me choose quilt block lay-outs, pull colors, he build my new sewing area. Numb for a long time, it was needle and thread that saved my life, and still does. I just found your channel and I think this project is perfect. It provides structure, time to ponder everything or nothing, it stretches your creative muscles. Thank you.

Hallo, I am watching from Cape Town South Africa, and only recently started slow stitching, I am loving it. In South Africa, we have a DOT CONCEPT - which is Do One Thing every day to impact a life - smile at a stranger, feed a homeless person, bless a child, do something practical and non-expensive to DOT every day. So I would make these wonderful dot mats and hand them out to random people and encourage them to keep the concept going ... love your show!

I learned to make regular quilts and rag quilts. Rag quilts are my favorite. Now. I have become very interested in the slow stitching process. No rules. I love it 😀

I, too, am worried about the whimpering dog in the rain. Thank you for getting involved. Also: I am not an embroiderer, but I love your dots❣️And I love the fact that you moved yourself out of inactivity toward creativity again. You chose to allow yourself to be inspired by someone/something. A new beginning. One day at a time. I am 10 yrs older than you, and I am feeling as if I've lost that wonderful spark that kept me creating all kinds of things all my life. (The muse may have lost my address...) Well, thank you for your dots. I may not be doing exactly that, but I still have fabric I was using for weaving and rug-making. I've sold all my yarn, but I'm thinking I can maybe get started again using what I have, as resources are fixed. I know it's up to me. No excuses. But I do thank you for sharing your story, your ideas, and your skills. God bless. And I hope the dog is okay. 🫶🏼

Hello! I just found you here.. YT miraculously brought you to me. I'm a life long sewist, quilter & clothes maker. For 14 years now I've struggled with autoimmune diseases. So, I have good weeks and bad weeks. Sewing has become a struggle due to arthritis in areas of sitting and my hands. I persist, and have learned to hand sew and knit/crochet laying on my side. On good days I can sit for awhile at a sewing machine. I've been hand appliquing a quilt designed by Judy Newman. Her quilts are quirky, vintage inspired, just all so cute. The quilts had a center of hexagon flowers & stars, with a large border of 6" pieced octagon blocks. I've hand pieced most of them, but the 6" blocks can be seen by machine if your good at precision piecing. I do love your blocks. A few years ago there was a group of ladies on Instagram doing the same thing, but without the variety in sizes. Their block were mostly bright prints on solid or cream colors. You've inspired me to try sewing again. It's been months since I've gotten any sewing done. I live in NE Indiana, not too far from your home. Thanks for passing on your sewing energy! Holly

Hi, Jeri! I love your dots, because I love to use circles in my stitching, but I must admit that I struggle with measuring and ironing and doing things the same size. Not that I can’t do it, I can, but because I feel that my enjoyment disappears if I have to be precise in my art work. I guess that as I am so organized and disciplined in my day to day life, work, chores, housework, etc, I need some craziness when I do art. Even looking at my house: everything is organized, clean and neat, except my art room, where there’s a bit of a creative chaos, so to speak 😂. I sincerely admire artists who do what you do, but I think I would probably eyeball all the squares and dots. And then I would decide how to join them. The other day, I did a series of wonky log cabins (following Kathryn K3n) and they were all in different sizes! I wanted to make a bag, so I decided to crochet around them until they were all the same size and then I made the bag 😉 It’s how I do things 😂! Well, you said you like to read comments and I love to write, so I tend to write long comments, sorry about that 🤭 And I look forward to seeing the next step, who knows I will do some wonky dots 😉 💛🩵💚🧡♥️🩷🤍💜💙🤎❤️

I’ve never taken a quilt class but remember relatives working on them. I love to have my hands working so about 30 years ago when I started my career I decided to make a Dresden Plate quilt. I finally finished each block during the first year of covid. Now I need to find someone to finish the quilt. I have no living family so I plan to give the Dresden plate to my best friend’s daughter. Now that I found you I’m gonna start this type of quilt for my best friend’s son. I just love the muted tones of your blocks.

Oh my goodness!!! This is the perfect project!!!!!❤ I have wanted to do a circle project and have been looking for a few years already!!! I I'm so excited that I found you.... I love to do handstitching, always have. I have always preferred applique because I could incorporate embroidery and beading and whatever I wanted to. And now I found this fantastic project . What a blessing! Thank you so much!💐❤

Hi Jeri, this is my first time with you. I was watching Bonney LOGCABINSTITCHER shared about your channel. It sparked my interest so here I am. I find your dots fascinating. I am a quilt maker and cross stitcher. I also work with wool applique. I am 78 and am very interested in learning about slow stitching. So nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to your next video. Happy stitching.

@@JeriBellini O'm making a multi-coloured circle quilt (on multi-colored squares too) right now, too, along with the other 5 I'm close to finishing! I agree with you, repeating all of those various steps every day would be a bit much. I much prefer the multi-at-a-time method too. What a good idea--something special on KZitem especially for all of us mature people! It's great to try something new with a smile!!! (I'm 77!)

I have to do this….it speaks to me somehow. I’m going to be 68 in a few months and have been quilting for only a few years since retiring. On June 26, 2023 my husband fell from a roof and was in the University of Utah Trauma Unit (over 2 hours from home) for a long time. After his last surgery he developed a staff infection and ended up back in the Trauma Unit. During his stays in the hospital I had a good friend loan me a featherweight sewing machine so I could bide my time sewing 2” squares together. It had to be mindless sewing, my mind couldn’t handle anything structured. Someday I hope to find a featherweight machine I can afford to buy so that I can sew wherever I am. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us….Bless your heart and fingers! Rita

Oh my gosh, I loved your tutorial. I’ve been admiring those circles and was so excited to see that you did a video about how to make them. I love your method of making them and can’t wait for the second video. What great idea to baste them so there are no raw edges. I’m guessing you join them with a ladder stitch, but I’ll wait till next week to be sure. In the meantime, I’ll start assembling my squares and circles. I just love your teaching method and feel like I am in the room with you learning. Thank you!

I love your dot project! I don t get chance to watch/comment each week but want to say I often go back and re watch videos you have made that help me with my own projects…. These dots though! They are enchanting. I often sew between meetings, just a few minutes here and there while waiting for my next work commitment and so this will work well….however I m rather inaccurate with measuring so I will make a big effort. I love making wool pennies and embroidering those…there is something so satisfying about embellishing a circle. Brings joy to my heart as does watching here. Thank you 🧡xxx
