    I live in Montana and was out your way in early August. I always make it a point to stop by the shop when in the area. I have watched your videos for years and order fabric frequently. I wanted to put in my two cents regarding your decision to reopen as a brick and mortar store. Unfortunately, there will probably be a lot of shops that have realized they can go mail-order only. But the community of quilters, the people that make up our groups across the country, are social; we love to get together and talk quilts; we love to come in and browse, touch the fabric, see the samples, get ideas; we make shopping for fabric a part of our vacations. This will be a big decision for you as business owners...but I wanted you to know how much I enjoy visiting your store IN PERSON. I hope that your decision can be swayed to the "reopen" option as it would be so disappointing to know that Jordan Fabrics would no longer be one of my destination points during my travels.

      The trick is to always press in the direction of the grain of the fabric. Our muscle memory prompts us to pull the blocks side to side or up and down to make them square, but this has a very bad affect on the block! The more you try to straighten, the wonkier it gets! I have to concentrate really hard to iron along the diagonal of the quilt blocks - the individual ones and also when the quilt top is being put together.

I just love it when I get a notification on a new tutorial from "Jordan Fabrics"! I can hardly wait to start the video. And, you do a terrific job with the tutorials; straight talk, to the point without a ton of fluff - Excellent;

      😄 No matter how many years a person has been quilting, those little boo boos happen! I just recently finished a large quilt (I pieced the top half of the quilt, and then I pieced the lower half). It came out gorgeous. I then pieced the 2 halves together, and pinned it up on my design wall (which is gigantic). I sat down to take a look at my masterpiece. I marveled at it, patted myself on the back and let out a gasp & my jaw hit the floor! When I pieced the 2 halves together, I had inadvertently spun one of the halves around & sewed it together incorrectly! Although a fairly easy fix: I just had to pick out one long seam, turn a section around and re-stitch the long seam. I guess when you are sooo close to the finish line, and then you make a blunder like that, it IS frustrating. Well I got the borders (multiple) on, and I just need to quilt it. Think I'll take it to a Longarm Quilter! I've been quilting for 34 years. And yes, no matter how long you've been quilting, mistakes happen! Lindsay, Sacramento, California ❤

      Sometimes I think it’s fun to have one block different from the others. And at other times, I’ve had to pick out seams to get to a block in the center that was sewn incorrectly. Depends on what you can live with, I guess.

    Any tutorial by Donna Jordan is great! I may not create a quilt from a specific pattern but I always learn something new or am reminded of a good practice. Thank you Donna Jordan!

    Oh wow! Sooooo many fabric packs. Totally drool worthy! I always enjoy seeing what your stores look like, given I probably won't ever be able to get there. Once again, another inspiring colourful quilt tutorial. I have learned so much watching all the videos. Thank you everyone at Jordan Fabrics.
