Sir...Your "CREATIVE MIND" is BEYOND! Pair that with THE CRAFT & THAT NEW YORK ACCENT!!! THE QUILTING MARINE IS A WHOLE ENTIRE VIBE!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO HIT NETWORK TELEVISION...Yep I said that...LOUD jes like that...Love you Man and your Camera Woman too! DEW IT Y'ALL!!!
I just found you and since your video is old, I don't know if you will see this or not. You have encouraged me that quilting can be easier and might just be what I need to fight depression. I love how you make it seem easy and that anyone can do it. As you say, it is only fabric and its only thread. Thank you for making these videos and for your service to our country. My late husband was in Spec Ops and he loved the service and I have a great respect for all that have, are and will serve our country. Again thank you for what you are doing now.
Quilting helps my anxiety.....I am making masks for Covid-19 and using the scraps to make quilt blocks. Calms my nerves and keeps me focused on doing something for the greater good. I give my quilts to family members and friends.
A man who is secure in his masculinity can work with all colors. :-) I'm a proud Marine mom, so I'm enjoying watching you and catching your military jargon. More men should pick up sewing, quilting, knitting and/or crochet. It's sexy! My honey is retired ARMY and he has been known to sew a bit.
Oh my goodness, my Grandma used to quilt by hand, and she would’ve been amazed at all of the new techniques and products for quilting. You make everything look so easy and very understandable!
You r my very favorite quilting personality.you make this seem doable!! I thank you soooo much for giving me the courage to quilt instead of just admiring others quilts. Thank you!!!
I came across your channel the other day. I have been making 5”x5” scrap quilts for years. I give them has graduation gifts. I year I had to make 30 the year my son graduated I had to make 45! I have I have so many sewing machines I lost count, 2 sergers and a quilting machine I have had 5 years and have yet to put it all together. I’ve been give craft and sewing supplies from so many people, i never have to buy fabric again. 2 of my grand kids age 11 want to learn how to sew, so I’m getting ready to start teaching them. Anyway, I watch your spider web quilt and really like it. So I ordered the templet and papers. It will be a great way to learn straight stitch. I just want to thank you for serving our country and for having the passion for quilts... A proud daughter of a WWII hero.
Your teaching style is so real. I love the way you talk us through each step. I feel as though I am actually in the room with you. You give me confidence to try new things thank you so much. Please keep making videos.
I really like your tutorials. You are very personable. I notice you have a gun on the table. I don't have one of those so perhaps I need to let the Hubbs know that this is a new sewing notion and is all the rage. Haha Maybe he will get me one!!! Keep up the great work. My Dad and Hubbs both retired from the US NAVY!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
I know what you mean about the randomness or chance of the piecing. My quilting friends know exactly what their quilts will look like before they even begin. That takes all the adventure and challenge out of it! I totally "get" that you enjoy not knowing how it will turn out until its complete. Always a work of Art!
This paper piecing method looks easier than the one I tried years ago. Your quilt will be beautiful. I love bright colors also. Wonderful! Thank you for this video. Please stay safe.
You know I have been sewing every since I was a very little girl and learn something new today that you showed and made, even a 68 year old can learn something new from a young sewer.. thank you cant hardly wait to try these new triangle papers and how you made the star form by joining several together. I also love the random colors with the solid base color in center just really learned hot to make with ease , thank you for teaching us this and I just love this project, Love yall in Chist
Lol....taking the paper off!!! I install signage as a gig job and just replaced some really old posters in old poster stands. They were pretty foggy, from age was my original thought, until I realized that the protective film had never been removed. LOVE your quilts/techniques/ideas/presentation!!!!!!
This is and amazing place for mental therapy for me too! When I’m stressed out or overwhelmed I go to my sewing machine! Love this ideal for scrappy quilts. Love Jenny Doan & MSQ. I was the same way I thought why is this paper covering my vision, curiosity got the best of me too! I felt silly too! 🥴
Hey, Mark, I’m new to your videos...this is number 3 and I’m hooked. Your work rhythm is super. Keep it up, plus, I e never seen a sewist that stays locked and loaded on the work table. Dude.
Very nice piece. Like the way you teach, almost with a humble earnest manner. I appreciate your taking the time to help us who have apprehension doing new things.
Just found you. You are a gift. Love you. Hope you are doing well in these weird times. I’m going to try one of these quilts but make my own template. Wish me luck!
Best channel I’ve seen in a long time ! You have a gift of teaching and such a calming presence ! Keep sharing ur gift, talent and making great videos for people like us who need to learn ! God bless you and all your endeavors !
Hey Mark, have you ever thought about teaching a class at Joann,s Fabric? That would be so kool. Your patience is amazing. Quilter,s and beginner quilters really appreciate your kindness. Hey Yvonne Great footage. 😃 BEAUTIFUL
Not everyone is perfect but you and your wife make every tutorial perfect for me. the joy and laughter is so sweet. as far as I was concern I did not see any mistakes could have been but I see none . I have been sewing like I said nearly 63 years of my 68 year life My mom taught me to handsew when I was 5 years old then when I was little older on a peddle machine . First thing on it was a apron. Believe when I say you did great,
Looking forward to the finished quilt. It's going to be a stunner. Beautiful job TQM and wife. Wifey may not be in front of the camera, but your work is just as amazing and much appreciated. The dynamic quilting duo. 👏❣
Thank you for putting together such a great video! I liked how you went through all the steps nice and slow, and explained everything in such an easy to understand way. I didn't notice the gun on the table until later in the video, but thought that it was a great idea! Who knows, you might need to use that gun if someone tries to steal one of your beautiful quilt blocks!!!..... My son, Aaron, was in the Army National Guard and served in Iraq during "Operation Iraqi Freedom" (2003-2004). He later switched over to the Army serving for 9 years. I told Aaron about your You Tube channel and how you even had a gun on the sewing table. He thought that was awesome! Even my son Aaron knows how to sew on the sewing machine after learning how to sew at the age of 5!!! (He just made stuffed animals! :) )..... It's nice to see men in the sewing room doing something fun like quilting!..... I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You are doing a Great Job! Keep up the good work! (P.S. You might want to check out one of Aaron's Videos on You tube. His channel is called "Repentance Cry". He is a Baptist Preacher who does a lot of Street Preaching, mostly in Springfield, Missouri, but also in other cities around the country.) ----- God Bless You! (Jeremiah 29:11-13 & Romans 10:9-15)
I've just come upon your channel quite accidentally after a week or more of finding quite a few male quilters from all walks of life - musicians, engineers, educators and now a Marine. I agree with several of your viewers' comments that you would make a wonderful workshop teacher. You embody an open, calm, accessible yet focused demeanor any level of quilter would appreciate. SOooooo happy I found you. I have a few of these types of blocks on my project list and really appreciate this video and the clear demonstration you provide. Thanks to you, I'll move them to the front of the list. I appreciate you. Carry on Marine! Your new subscriber, CS
You are a wonderful teacher! Love your easy going style and beginner-friendly instructions. Kudos from a retired educator/school administrator. Will subscribe now!!
I just stumbled on your you tube video. LOVE IT!!! So easy to follow. In a REAL sewing room!! Having a great time, that’s what quilting should be! Thanks !!!
Oh my goodness I am so glad I found your videos I don't know how you came up but I'm glad you make beginners like me feel like I can do no wrong in this so I appreciate that. I am binging on your videos right now but what I really need to do is get up and start making my blocks LOL
❤️ this video. Your style and attitude are great. “It’s only fabric, it’s only thread”, going to write that on my hand in ink! Paper piecing, such a surprise when trimmed! Never tried precuts, will visit MSQC. Your fabric patters🎉. Happy to see you close rotary cutter for dogs sake, know you’ve been in higher risk situations! Thank you for your service!! 🙏
Discovered you via missouri quilt interview have been going back through your videos I love the way you make everything so clear and layed back. Thank you.
I wondered what block this template made. I ordered something in the mail and it was given to me as an extra. Yippie. Now I know how to use it. Thank you. Your instructions are easy to understand for my brain. 👍🏼
Thank you for doing these vids! This quilting Marine Mom just loves that are quilting and teaching the rest of us and letting us join you on your journey! Thank you for standing on that wall for the rest of us too-you are a true SuperHero!
Hi Mark! I subscribed today and have been binge watching your videos... After many years of sewing and quilting I'm blessed with a lot of scraps. Your quilting is inspiring- good luck with your channel from Aotearoa NZ.
Just found your channel. Love how you use all the scraps. The first video I watched on this channel was the crumb block with the shadows. Absolutely loved it. Love this one too. Thank you.
I share your point of view that it’s ok to make your own quilting rules and how much fun randomness can be. Thanks for your videos. I enjoy them & learn from you.
Hello, First time I've seen your videos. I love them. Maybe like you I am new to trying quilting. I have been doing lots of other stitching by hand for many years. I do lots of different types of embroidery. I've got a sewing machine but it hasn't been used for about 4 years so I am very rusty. I have just made 3 cushions for my 3 grandchildren, 2 boys and 1 girl. Really enjoyed doing them. I can look forward to trying your ideas. You are very good at explaining things.

Thank you so much there's way more to come
Slipped by your security system! Oh that’s rich! Thank you QuiltingMarine for my laugh of the day!
Spider web quilts are so addictive, and they always turn out cool.

You are absolutely not the only one that left the paper on back of template!! :)
Your teaching style is so real. I love the way you talk us through each step. I feel as though I am actually in the room with you. You give me confidence to try new things thank you so much. Please keep making videos.
I love your quilt block. I also love how you have your gun there to defend your quilts. 😆 lol. Great job.
The gun freaked me out there.
He's a marine. They are never too far away from their guns. It just becomes part of their being according to my cousin.
I love watching men sew and a male quilter is awesome! I just subscribed and will be binge watching your videos soon.
Thank you so much
I really like your tutorials. You are very personable. I notice you have a gun on the table.

Thank you Sheryllynn very much
I have a sewing machine, never made a thing but the more I watch him and Darlene, I am going to make some blocks and attempt a quilt!
I LOVE that you used the term "down range" with quilting! You just found a way to combine two of my favorite things, quilting and firearms! ❤
Great job on your presentation. Simple and to the point.
You're AWESOME! Thanks for keeping it 💯 with beginners.
great job...keep on teaching us...praying for you!!!

Love the quilt on the wall. A lap quilt would have been great for my dad. He was a lifer in the airforce.
I really enjoy your style and attention to detail without too much fuss.
Lol....taking the paper off!!! I install signage as a gig job and just replaced some really old posters in old poster stands. They were pretty foggy, from age was my original thought, until I realized that the protective film had never been removed. LOVE your quilts/techniques/ideas/presentation!!!!!!
I never knew how to do the paper piecing lol now I do. Thank you
I am a beginner,I love,love,love your video on spider Webb quilts starting my first project ! Look forward to your next project.
Thats what I'm talking about! Go for it

Very nice piece. Like the way you teach, almost with a humble earnest manner. I appreciate your taking the time to help us who have apprehension doing new things.
That looks very sharp! Great job, Mark!
That's going to look gorgeous! The yellow in your favorite fabric will coordinate well with the red centers. Happy quilting!😀👍🍁
I love that quilt on the wall behind you.
I watched this yesterday. Realized this morning that one of my rulers had a paper backing that was supposed to be removed. Thank you!
Like that your pink made it thru the security system! 😃
Finally someone who likes to keep standing and walking around. I also keep my ironing walking distance. Keeps the back and legs from hurtin’.
I truly admire you. Love your tutorials.
Just found you. You are a gift. Love you. Hope you are doing well in these weird times.
I’m going to try one of these quilts but make my own template. Wish me luck!
I'm going to steal your idea of using a common fabric in each block. Love that red, it makes the spider web fabrics pop.
Best channel I’ve seen in a long time ! You have a gift of teaching and such a calming presence ! Keep sharing ur gift, talent and making great videos for people like us who need to learn ! God bless you and all your endeavors !

Hi Mark! I subscribed today and have been binge watching your videos... After many years of sewing and quilting I'm blessed with a lot of scraps. Your quilting is inspiring- good luck with your channel from Aotearoa NZ.
Love it
Thank you

Great quilter!👍🏻
For you are a great teacher
I teach online every day. My dogs LOVE to lay on the floor and listen to classes. Aren’t dogs the most loving, least helpful assistants ever? 🤣
Just found your channel. Love how you use all the scraps. The first video I watched on this channel was the crumb block with the shadows. Absolutely loved it. Love this one too. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial 😍
I love sewing scrappy quilts too ❤️
Its my passion, I love quilting and other patterns but my mental status balances on that scrappy detail
I share your point of view that it’s ok to make your own quilting rules and how much fun randomness can be. Thanks for your videos. I enjoy them & learn from you.
Wow l love the block ! Thanks for sharing. 👍
This is old fashion crazy quilting. I do Victorian crazy quilting. My great grandmother taught me.

Great job,enjoyed
Thank you so much for sharing
This is a great block!
I love this. Have not seen it before.
Love these colors!
Beautiful block.
Hello,
First time I've seen your videos. I love them. Maybe like you I am new to trying quilting. I have been doing lots of other stitching by hand for many years. I do lots of different types of embroidery. I've got a sewing machine but it hasn't been used for about 4 years so I am very rusty. I have just made 3 cushions for my 3 grandchildren, 2 boys and 1 girl. Really enjoyed doing them. I can look forward to trying your ideas. You are very good at explaining things.
