Say hello to the Midnight Quilt Show, a RUclips series that celebrates late-night stitches, taking shortcuts and sewing in your PJs! Each week, host Angela Walters will bring you a quick and quippy breakdown of a brand new quilt… wine not included.
About the host
-----------------------------
Meet our very own Midnight Quilter, designer Angela Walters - known for serious skills and quilter-ly quirks. Each week she brings you her new “quilt of the hour”, sharing the scoop on how she tackles perfectly-pieced points or fab free-motion.
Whenever I make a quilt for a new baby I always make a bag for the mom, you could think of it as fancy wrapping paper for the quilt. Sometimes I use leftover fabric & sometimes I will use fabrics in the moms favorite colors. The bags are a great place to practice FMQ too. I have an enormous family so somebody is either getting married, welcoming a new baby... The gals are always so excited to see what new pattern I have made. I have learned so much from both of You ladies and I really appreciate the work You put into creating all of these videos. You make learning a new pattern/technique so much fun & you are so inspiring! Thank You :)
I don't know how you resisted adding quilting to those bag panels! I think I won't resist. LOVE this collaboration. I've been watching Vanessa for quite awhile, too!
That strap turning trick is life changing!
I love it when crafty people support each other! And we women need to do this more❤️
Nancy Miner ofcourse ❤⚘💯
I love how you just have fun sewing and don't take it too seriously. I have a problem with perfection. Love the tutorials!
That inside out strap strip trick is awesome! I wish I had known about this a long time ago. Thank you
When boxing my corners, I cut out a 2” x 2” (or whatever size you want) notch in the bottom corners. It makes it so much easier to line up your seams. Then I sew a zigzag stitch along the raw edge to finish it off.
Vanessa and Jenny Doan taught me how to quilt and sew, when I started 6 years ago. I have also been following you for the last several years. I have to thank the 3 of you for teaching me sewing, quilting and now with your fm challenges, I am able to finish all my quilt tops. Thank you
Angela, this is an awesome challenge between you & Crafty Gemini! It’s a great stash-buster too! Hope you do more of these “quick-quilting” tutorials. Thx for the fashion show! This was an extra funny entertaining video!
I love your trick for turning the handles. I wish I had known that years ago!
I have been following Vanessa for years I learned a lot of things from her channel, then I found u this year and love your quilts and fun personality! I’m so glad you guys did a collab!
Isn’t Vanessa darling?!!! I’ve been following her since 2012. She helped me learn how to sew! You helped me learn how to quilt! I’m so excited to see a collaboration between you two! 💐

Who is Vanessa???
@@kinsley8565 Vanessa Vargas is the Crafty Gemini.
I've made this bag 4 times and I lost the pattern....so whew, glad this was here! (I machine quilted the outer panels - makes it nicer.) The pattern doesn't seem to be free on "craftsy" as far as I can tell, but I got the main info from the video.Thanks!
That tip for turning out the strap is genius!
I've just made this bag (my first ever!) in Aboriginal printed fabrics. I love it and can't wait to show it off. Thanks, Angela (and Crafty Gemini!)
Show us your Aboriginal printed bag.
My hubby and I watch your "Midnight Quilt Show" all the time. We love it Angela, and love you!! Thanks for breaking down the execution of making quilt patterns and having fun doing it. Vicki Robles
Don't forget to stitch the lining bag closed either by hand if you want reversible bag or machine. Fun project for sure.
I came from Vanessa’s channel, I love her sweet little family and their farm. I’ve been following her channel since they first went to look at their place. I’ve learned lots of things from her. And yes this is my first time watching your channel. Thanks for sharing this.
I make bags and follow Vanessa for years now. I don't quilt. I am going to try to do this because you make this look like a lot of FUN! Thank you!
Love that tip on using that small strip to turn the strap! I wish I knew that when I made all those totes for my family. I learned how to put a zipper on my bag from The Crafty Gemini (as well as a lot of other things). Seeing my two favorite RUclips ladies doing something together is fabulous.
Saw the bag challenge from Crafty Gemini and decided to check out your channel. I’ve been searching for a cute bag to use up my many small pieces. I think I can make this work. Now on to binge watching your channel while I work on my new bag.
I made a pieced panel, and used this method to make a bag with it. Really versatile process, thanks for sharing!
What a cute tote!! I love making totes, they are quick, fun and make great gifts. I noticed there were a lot of comments about quilting the bag. With the fusible fleece you don’t really need it, but you could certainly stitch in the ditch. With that cute braided design, you definitely want it to be the star of the bag.
LOVE LOVE this bag with Vanessa's Dominicana fabric and her Black and White fabric line too! Colors are Awesome together. Thanks, Angela ;-)
This is just what I’ve been looking for - a cute bag that will use a jelly roll! I’m new to your channel too! Can’t wait to watch some of your other videos! Late night sewing with a glass of wine… perfect!!
Look at those modeling skills! Lookout Heidi and Tyra this gal quilts too!!
Angela that was really so adorable. Your bag turned out so beautiful. Somebody commented on turning it into a reversible bag. I too made two reversible tote bags and it gives great satisfaction seeing the bag one creates. Thanks for the tutorial.
If you wanted to add something extra special to the straps, you can use some sturdy lace or binding tape as that little string to help turn out the strap and leave it attached, then top stitch it down the middle of the outside of the strap for a stipe down the tote strap :)
OMG. My two favorite quilting ladies in one video....there is a god!
You inspired me to give the bag a go. My daughter wanted a neutral bag. I added pockets inside. Thanks for being awesome and such an inspiration to us who have never tried quilting 😁😁😁
Seriously!? My two favorite quilters in the whole world know each other? ;). Awesome.
the fabric choices were so perfect especially with that red petals popping out! & I love the black /white edged rims!
this is such a fun and beautiful project, I'll try that soon and you are so refreshing ❤😂
Angela, you are awesome! You know, you could have quilted on the bag....I was waiting for you to do that, but it turned out beautifully, just like usual👏👏👏
Hello, first time watching and I love what I see. Great job 👏👍
I came here from Crafty Gemini. You and I sew/quilt/craft the same way. A bowl of popcorn, an adult beverage and late nights. It use to be out of necessity due to work & family but now it's so ingrained I find it difficult to sit at my machine before the sun goes down. :) Thanks for a great tutorial. You're a lot of fun to watch.
The bag is goregous! And Vanessa is awesome😊 She's an exellent teacher and explains projects in great detail (just like you😉) I can't wait to try making this bag. Thanks for sharing!
I have made Vanessa's Improv tote bag with Bosal In-R-Form Plus a few times (okay maybe like 10... or more, of them) and love how they come together. I really like this chain pattern and will certainly be making one of them very soon! It's such a pretty design. In answer to some of the other viewer's questions, I personally pinch the lining closed and sew an 1/8 inch seam to close it up. Being on the bottom, no one can see it and I find that it is more secure that way. Thanks for another amazing video, Angela!!
I have made 4 of these bags now but I make them whole cloth bags that I have quilted. They go together SEW quickly & are the most sturdy & stylish bags! Of course, I have to totally hack the straps for a great end result & no pulling the fabric up through the strap tube. I have been using denim or home decor weight fabric with a linen lining. Love, love, love this bag that goes to the library, the beach, on trips to here or there!!
Anyone that sews with a glass of wine at the ready is a friend of mine. I have subscribed and given you a love!
Hi Angela! I enjoy your videos, and I think it is great that you teamed up with also talented and fun Vanessa for this video challenge. Thanks to both of you for walking us through this pattern.
1st time here. I've been following Vanessa @ The Crafty Gemeni for years. I enjoyed the bag you made.
Angela is definitely my favourite fabric tutorial teacher!
Omg, that little strap trick is ingenious! 😃
Awesome@ Love your show. Also the BAG YOU CREATED!
After I finish a quilt I always make a tote from the left overs. So I have nothing left I put the scraps together as per a jelly roll race and this determines the size. I do like your pattern though so will give it a try after next quilt.
Girl, you are awesome. Always making the tutorials fun to watch and learn. Love you to peices Angela.
I love Vanessa, and I enjoyed watching you make this bag from her fabrics!! It's super fun, and I would love to try it out!
HELLO GENIUS for using a piece of fabric to turn a tube right side out! Sending a BIG virtual HUG!!
I have been a sewer for over 50 yrs. I started hand sewing Barbie doll clothes. Back in the 60's the clothes cost more than the dolls (almost) so I made my own then we would hold fashion shows with them. This led to making my own clothes. Now I make bags, quilts, and do the occasional hem job on my husband's pants. My mom was my inspiration as she took in tailoring jobs & made clothes from scratch for customers. I once wore an outfit to the store & a woman stopped me to ask where I got it. When she found out I made it she asked me to make her one. She was shocked when I told her the cost. Some people do not understand how expensive fabric has gotten. I didn't even add my time to the quote. Anyway, this bag is perfect. Great job!
I know! I used to sew clothes for my kids when they were little, in the 80's. My son liked those 'jam' pants, which were like sweatpants, but made out of cotton prints. I made all sorts of play clothes out of scrap fabrics my mother brought me from the Woolrich place in Pennsylvania. Once it had silky stuff in two shades of pink, and that was an I Dream of Jeannie costume for Halloween. MOstly it was stretch material and I made sweatshirts and sweat pants for weekend sitting in mud and stuff. I made some of my own clothes, but not it is very expensive for fabric. I do quilt though. I love your story!
@@palominogirl2732 And I love your story. I forgot about Woolrich stores. We had Coronet stores with cheap fabric & craft supplies. Loved when they had clearances. I just found an embroidery panel I bought there 40 yrs ago thats still current today. I lucked out some yrs ago to stumble on a design studio that was getting rid of their old swatch books so I took them all. I got wools, cottons, linens, decorator & silk panels. I'm in fabric heaven. The possibilities. Enjoy your crafting time & make lots of pretty things.
Looks great and what a perfect way to use up those pieces from other projects.
I am a male blind quilter who loves quilting and will try this pattern.
How apropos! It is now 12:11 a.m. on my very first viewing of your video. Good job!
you can totally quilt that bag next time. I LOVE IT and you did a spectacular job!
You are a pleasure to watch!!! I really enjoyed the bag instructions and now won't be so challenged!!!
Hi! I came here via The Crafty Gemini. First time watching both of you and I must say you are both talented sewers/quilter! Hope to visit your channel again!!! :)
I watch the Crafty Gemini a lot but this is the first time I've watched one of your tutorials. . . wow! . . . I love how you use all those little pieces of fabric. . . obviously, you are a quilter. I am not sure I can make everything line up evenly like you did, but I'd like to try it. I just ordered a walking foot, so I hope that will help. I don't like to turn the handles but I really like how you turned your handles inside out, too. Beautiful result!
Piecing potion!?! 😂 First visit from a CG fan!
The bags is cute. I don’t quilt but I do like the way u mix the colors to create a beautiful bag.🙂 You are such a funny lady. Have a bless day. I’m sure Vanessa will like the bag.😀
I love making bags, going to give this one a go, as got lots of scraps. Great video thank you x
I just knew what you had inside the completed bag! 🍷 Another great video, even though you are the master quilter I knew you’d have this project “in the bag”!
Super cute! Love the design! Great work, Angela!
I really liked your bag better. I enjoyed the multiple colors and I love the braids. Very nice, Angela.
My first time here from Crafty Gemini. I love both the bags yall made.
I've been following both of you for quite a while! This is a fun idea!
Gorgeous, nice for the coming summer. I am going to make the inside of waterproof material for the wet towels that arrive with monotonous cycles. Many thanks, Tina xxxxxxxx
I love how this bag pattern came together. Great job. I also enjoy watching the crafty Gemini sewing projects. 👍😀
I found you because of the Crafty Gemini...Love that you are doing this challenge... The simplicity of the pattern makes this a Great stash buster.
Hi, I'd really like to make this, but I think the pattern link has expired. Could you upload a new one pretty please 🥺
See Tracey’s link below yours
I’d like to get the pattern also but can not find it.
You might find it via the crafty Gemini channel as the midnight quilter show was a part of a company that stopped and joined forces with a larger company.. Angela now has her own channel in place of this channel..
The link does not work. Where can we find it please?
the patting that you are doing for the bag it would look nice as a quilt i love it
I have only made one quilt, but I would like to make more. My grandmother taught me how to crochet and I do a lot with that. She also used to quilt. I still have the quilt she made me for my wedding 44 years ago. I would like to hand down treasures like that to my grandchildren.
Lol i agree with you on 1/8th inch...in piecing i use it if i am going to lose a star point.
Beautiful bag. Lovely fabrics.
Whoo-hoo ! Great finish. Now I wanna make one. No reason you couldn't have done some quilting on the bag, I just may try that myself.
I love both The Midnight Quilt Show and Crafty Gemini's channel. I seriously was expecting you to quilt the bag though?!?! I have quilted a bag before, and it looks so nice.
Expecting the same! How about quilting the bag?
I absolutely love the fact that she combines red wine with popcorn! I need to try this. And the craft as well :)
Had so much fun watching you make the bag. I’m going to visit the Crafty Gemini now. By the way the bag is beautiful!
LOVE Love LOVE this! Great teacher, great sense of humor and love you and Crafty Gemini. Dynamic Duo❣️ woot woot!

Great ideas. Can't wait to try it out. Thank you very much.
Hi, I love watching your video cuz you are not boring to watch. You make it so fun. I definitely want to make this tote bag. Thanks for sharing the video
I've made three of these bags and they are awesome! Two were gifts and were a big hit! I'm always looking for new sewing projects. Thank you for sharing!
I love your chatting whilest sewing so much! My new favourite quote now from you: "Close enough is good enough and finished is better than perfect... maybe... not so much in brain surgery..." ^^ And thanks for the input and the inspiration! You're doing a great job in motivating!
The string for turning is a great tip!
I really like the tote! Great job Angela! Now I "Need" to make one, or 2, hmm... Maybe gifts? Cool thanks for another video. I will be downloading this pattern.
