HI Donna, as usual your clear instructions make a daunting project "do-able". I must say, for me, your border choice truly compliments and sets off the strip colours. Beautiful job. TFS.
S C Donna makes everything look so easy, doesn’t she? Lol I’m amazed they’re able to put out a video sometimes twice a week. And the results are always superb!
I love this quilt, it;s so clean looking. I love to watch you you make everything look so easy. Thank you for sharing, all the very best for 2024. I allways look forward to your new designs
I check out your emails with new quilting patterns EVERY morning. It starts my day. I've purchased several Cozy Quilt designs and really like them. They are very easy to follow, but your tutorials answer any questions I may have. Now, I just wish I had all the space you have.
Hi Donna lovely video as always. After I watched your video my mobile phone showed me a video of Matt cutting fabric for a rail fence quilt for you to make the next day. I found that video so calming. Matt's soothing voice and calm manner really had an effect on my day. We are on lockdown in London and feeling very frazzled he actually made me feel better. Thank you Matt. Long may you reign. ❤️👍😁👌
Thank you Donna I love so many guilt you made it I just want to start now because I realise that its time for me to learn this is easy even if im old I can make it Love you Donna
@@meriammonyane6518 hi, you won't regret starting to quilt. Its so rewarding and if you watch Matt and Donna's video tutorials you won't go far wrong, whatever age you are. My granddaughter has just received her first sewing machine and she is so keen to start sewing. She is 10 years old. Good luck.
Thank you for everything you do 😊 you are my new favorite person to watch. You explain everything so well and show things nicely so it’s easy for a beginner quilter to understand.
Your videos are so helpful and fun to watch. Love how you show your thoughts on selecting the right thread color to quilt with. That really helps! Thank you Donna and Matt.
Tube stripping, another great way to make it look like you worked harder than you did. I told another RUclipsr about your weight to hold the ruler, you’re now famous for this ingenious prop. Donna, you and Matt stay safe and healthy, appreciate your staying with us making your marvelous videos.
I am really not a batiks person BUT after viewing the finished quilts I am amazed how beautiful they are. Your videos are always so well made and fun. My favorite materials are Kansas Troubles. I will have to break down and order some batiks one day. Thank you so much. Prayers that you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy.
I love the colorway for this quilt, warm and glowing. Browns can be so boring, but this jelly roll was perfect. The tone-on-tone ivory background fabric and the golden quilting thread were the right choices.
I love this design, I plan to make it for a special friend who I know will love it. The batiks are just the perfect colour to show off the stars. Thank you for your videos I always learn something from them and I have been quilting for 40 years!.
I just finished making this for my cousin in 1930's fabrics. My first quilt i actually got money for! I'm still in shock. Thank you for making it look so easy.
That one simple little tip to use a dumbbell on one end of your template seems kind of simplistic until you try it. It has made a world of difference in keeping my cuts straight and reducing the strain on my hands. The second thing I've learned from you is the value of "finger pressing". I don't have beautiful nails like you so I'm just finger pressing, but this little trick has also helped my ironing immensely. Learning these kinds of things makes watching your videos so worthwhile to me. Out here in the Alaskan Bush, such expertise is usually hidden away. Thanks Donna for sharing your talents with all of us!! Blessing to you and yours!
I too went out an purchased a 5 lb. dumbbell and couldn't believe the difference it made. And the dumbbell are very, very easy on the pocketbook. For $5.00 you can't find a more helpful quilting aide. And I have to add that I too found the "peel the top layer back" carefully the best ironing tip yet. Love, love, love their videos!
I agree! Those dumbbells sure make cutting fabric a lot easier! When I told my husband I needed a dumbbell for sewing, he said, “of course you do.” Lol. He’s gotten pretty used to me saying I need “strange” things or to go Home Depot for sewing supplies. He just takes it in stride. When I told him I needed a 4foot metal ruler, he asked “why” and I got the same response. A few days later, I had a medical procedure that left me pretty sedated for the next 24 hours and in bed for 48. When I was finally able to get up, on the counter was a receipt for the ruler. It was already in my sewing room. Apparently, when we got home after my procedure, he went out and got it while I was still “knocked out”. A few weeks later, he found an 8 lb dumbbell on the side of the road and brought it to me. He figured it would be better than the 5 lb weight.
Pat Blood Amen! I would love to win one of her quilts! They’re beautiful! She’s a smart cookie and has an excellent eye for color! I would love to go visit their shop, but I’m on the other of the country, in Vermont. Lol. After watching a video, I can’t wait for the next one. She’s one of the few that I watch on a regular bases.
My Covid Quilt! I may have commented on this before but needed to say more. If it hadn't been for this tutorial, I probably wouldn't have made it. You gave me the confidence to do it!. This is my first full size quilt (KING). I had the jelly roll strips for about two years - not enough to make a king. Fortunately, I did find more material online. The top is completed and just need to have it quilted and will probably go with the calm water stitching. Thank you! I love watching your tutorials and dream about making another quilt.
Donna, I taught apparel design at a college for 34 years and I want to compliment you on your teaching style. You are so much fun to watch and you are very clear and concise. I am inspired by so many of the quilts and I am enjoying "playing" with sewing. Thank you,
Thank you for your tutorials. I’ve never done quilting and haven’t sewed since I was young. I learned a lot from you and you inspired me to start quilting (I’m 69 and I suppose it’s never to late to start) 😂
Thank you Donna (and Matt and the team) I've loved so many quilts you've made, but by far this is my favourite. Thank you also for bringing some normality into this turbulent time.
Donna you give the best tutorials, very easy instructions and so pleasing to listen to. I have been using your dumbbell tip for over a year now and it is wonderful. Thanks for everything.
Love the 9 Sisters quilt you made , you make it look so easy. And I absolutely love the give away quilt. You’re an amazing quilter. Thanks for teaching us. I hope you and your family are doing ok through this tough time we are all going through. Stay safe all. Thanks again. 🥰🥰💐💐😘😘
Gorgeous Pattern! Daniela Stout is a great designer. I thank you for the demo you inspire me every day. The Nine Sisters Quilt tutorial is is informative and the results are breathtaking. It is a blessing and a gift to have you showing beautiful quilts to sew.
Thank you so much. I just recently started quilting. I live in a small town in Missouri and I have a 45 minute commute every day to work. I so much look forward to sitting down and watching these quilting videos. Stay safe!
What an awesome quilt. It’s got both a vintage and a contemporary vibe at the same time. Wow. Donna is such an artist with her creative choices. She makes these patterns sing. I’m in awe.
Thank you for all of the tutorials. One thing that I haven't noticed is you mentioning the wadding that you use and if you are able to source wadding wide enough for your large quilts or whether you have to join two widths of wadding together.
Saw this earlier and HAD to try it! Turned out beautiful and my daughter in law loves it. Definitely using this pattern again, thanks so much for your continued help!
I just love the colours in this quilt and enjoy your tutorials so much. I keep thinking if my Mum was still alive she would be spending the day watching your videos- she would have loved RUclips.
Bonjour Donna et Matt, et mille merci pour ce que vous faites', ce quilt est très beau comme tous les autres ! Cela semble si simple avec Donna, vos explications sont excellentes. Merci , merci, merci........... Dominique (France, region bretagne)
Thank you lovely lady for such a gorgeous quilt both in design and in colour scheme. I love how ivory or light cream go with autumn colours to create a warm inviting nest. I know that i appreciate your effort every time you make a new delight for us because i am housebound, but more so now than at anytime before. It is the lovely people like yourselves that put up new projects to keep our spirits up and our minds on something other than the horrors that are ongoing at present. I hope that you, your family be it real or workforce are able to keep their health and spirits up at this time. Take care to all the lovely people at Jordans who keep us going in projects and the where with all to keep us going. Crafty hugs being sent, from Norah, Glenochil Village, Central Scotland
I'm a beginner quilter and your videos give me so much inspiration! I love when my notifications sound off from Jordans! Can't wait to try this pattern in a lap/throw size.
Yesterday I saw this quilt on display at one of the local shops, it was unbelievably beautiful. I would have purchased the fabric on the spot but wanted to see a video before hand because it looked so intimidating. The video changed my opinion of what to expect. The quilt was made using fat quarters, looks like lots of cutting will be needed for the project. In this video Donna reserves some of the long strips, she neglects to mention how those strips were used.
I love the idea of the weight! I finally found a use for mine!! Lol! Thanks Donna, not only do I love your tutorials I love all the tips you give while doing them!!
Beautiful quilt. You sew so fast, how long have you been making quilts ? I also like your sewing machine. I saved up money and bought a brother sl . Thinking I would start making quilts maybe to get good enough to sell. I’ve tried so hard to use it but it sews so fast , the petal is very hard to push . There’s no way to slow it down. I didn’t realize how much it cost to make a quilt. I recently had to retire from my job of 26 years for health reasons, I’m only 57. But I love watching you on RUclips through the day. It takes my mind off things for a while. I just wanted to tell you thank so much for all your videos, again thank you sweet lady.
i would like to say a big thank you I am in quarantine in Paris and thanks to you i no longer see the time pass you do extraordinary thinks and i really appreciate Merci merci beaucoup :-)
This quilt pattern is simply amazing! I LOVE the batiks that you used. I love how much it popped after it was quilted. I esp liked the tip on the quilting regarding the shrinkage. That wouldn't bother me, but I know some people it would. Your tutorials make quilt making look so easy. Thank you!
Oh so lovely 💐 I've just started quilting, and have realized how important it is to have accurate cuts, 😁my first attempt is awful. But I'm determined to master it. Watching all these great tutorials Donna gives us. Thankyou 💐
I have been watching videos of you all day. I enjoy learning from you, love all your fabric have blessed day
Thanks Donna for another great video . Hope you Matt and family our well.
the nice thing about this pattern is that it has "lay out" pictures for all of the sizes, from lap to king. Thx for this great tutorial.
Once again Donna you made a harder quilt look so doable! Thank you.
Wow another beautiful quilt.... I just love batiks ...and stars......thanks Donna

Darn! Wish that particular jelly roll was still available. It is stunning!

What a beautiful quilt. ❤
I think the gray and the gold are beautiful quilts. My grandson's wife wants a quilt out of the grays. I think I'll do this pattern. Thank you Donna.
Oh how pretty. This looks fun.
How can someone dislike such a beautiful video, really very simple but amazing video

J'ai jamais vue une femme comme vous ,intelligente et artiste bravo j'te tire le chapeau
Camera work and editing is always so good on your videos! Comforting in their repetitiveness. You’re good at what you do, Donna.
I love the colours and the white space in this quilt, just gorgeous.
I wish I had your talent! I truly drool at the beauty you create in every video. Thanks so much!
Oh I really liked this one, but then I love all your tutorials. Thank you.
