Since I was diagnosed with cancer, my daughter has been my best quilt buddy. She jumps in the car anytime I have quilty need for the local quilt shop 30 minutes away. This semester, she has forgone college classes so she could be home with me. Brittany has learned how to sew, made her first quilt, and she machine quilted it too. How cool is that!!!
She knows what’s important and precious in her life and that’s a relationship with her mom. She’ll never regret forgoing a semester of college and what she’s learned through you is more valuable. Great daughter, I think she has a great mom. I hope you win the fight, prayers to you.
I have two quilt buddies, Diane and Charlene. We have been buddies since 2000-2001. We encourage each other to complete quilts. We get together once a week to complete projects, snack, and laugh. They have been wonderful friends and quilties for years and I am so happy to be a part of their lives.
My quiltsie is my mom!! She taught herself to sew when I was 10 and asked to learn. She doesn't sew on her own but is always willing to jump in on anything I want to do as a way to spend time together. She is always so supportive and will spend time poking around my craft room just being with me as I work. We've made many sampler blocks and two quilts together. My favorite project was when she and my sister in law made a few string blocks with me to complete my daughter's baby quilt. She knows the value and love of the time put in and is super quilt worthy! I couldn't begin to count the hours we've spent fabric shopping and somehow she always beats me to paying for it.. We now do projects with my daughter and recently celebrated "sew a jelly roll day" by having a "tea and jelly" tea party then made a quilt top. Once I get it bound it will take turns going back and forth between our house and hers. Sewing for us isn't just about the completed project but about family and that warm hug a quilt gives when we aren't together to get one in person.
My Quiltsie & I are so in tune with each other, we like the same fabrics, the same styles of quilts and we’re happy to share that last piece of fabric that we both love. That’s a true Quilty love. Once again a delight to see your video Angela. Love your happy happy go lucky style.
My quiltsie is Elaine, without her encouragement and guidance I would never have got into the exciting world of quilting. I love your tutorials and live chats. Quilting has been my saviour thought out the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe everyone and keep quilting.
My quiltsy is my husband. He loves my quilts and cheers me on! He takes me to every quilt shop I can find on every vacation. I've quilted him bunches of throws up to king size bed quilts on my sitdown longarm. He says if the fire alarm ever goes off, grab as many quilts as you can on the way out the door! Never mind the silver.
My mom taught my sister to sew when she was a child but I could never sit still long enough. When I was in my 30’s, they made me piece my first quilt ( a scrappy 9 patch). That was all it took. Our mom eventually couldn’t piece or quilt anymore so my sister and I kept up the craft. We were asked time and time again to sell our quilts but that would mean our love of quilts was a job, which would kill the love. So, we always give our quilts away. Our mom passed over 2 years ago. When we get together to quilt, we use some of her notions and a lamp that she had in her sewing room. We can feel her with us as we sew across the table from each other. My sister is my quiltsie, my bestie, my heart. She always teaches me something when we are together. We would love the Quilt Love kits. Thank you, we love your show. Terry Jenkins
My quiltie is my best friend and sister, "M". During this pandemic, we have had little sewing retreats for just the two of us, either at her house or mine. She is the best!
Thank you for sharing. My quilting buddy and I grew very close over the past year. Our daughters are best friends, thus we had time to spend together in quarantine. We started out making masks together for family and donations. Then one day we laughed about how many masks we had and how we would have to make a quarantine quilt from them when it is all over. That prompted us to visit the local fabric store and begin our first quilt. We have enjoyed learning from your past and current videos on machine quilting. She is a fan of FMQ and I prefer your rulers...”slim” is a favorite. We have spent almost every weekend sewing together. Between the both of us, we have sewn and quilted 4 twin sized, 2 baby, 2 table toppers and a runner. My husband tired of seeing all the quilting on the kitchen table made us our very own space in the basement. We have a large 6’x6’ table, cutting station and 3’x5’ pressing station. We are both teachers and very blessed to have each other and this amazing hobby to keep us sane during these hectic times. Thanks for teaching us teachers how it’s done! ❤️
My Quiltsy is my new neighbor of 9 months! I have been quilting for many years but she has had me explore new ideas and “gets” me when I get SO excited about a new pattern or fabric! She lends me tools that I didn’t know exist! And of course I have to get my own! It’s so fun to share the love of quilting with her! She makes my world a better place!
My sister is my Quiltsie. After I retired I was watching her finish a baby quilt and i was inspired. We live a few thousand miles apart but love sending pictures of our current work!
my Quiltsy is my Bestie Debbie!!!! We have been friends since we were very little. Now we are both in our 50's!!! Every time I have a new pattern or design she is the first person I call and text!!! She may not be into Quilting but she is great at picking out colors!!! For example, I am working on a table runner now, best part is it's for Debbie!! She picked the material and I get to quilt it!!! How perfect is that!!! She is also very crafty, but she is more into doing printing!! Best part of having a Quiltsy Bestie is every week or so we get things sent to each other!!! I am truly blessed to have her in my life!!! Love ya Deb!!
I love all your shows. I have always free motion quilted my projects because I want them to be 100% my work. I love Midnight Quilter and learn so much from you. My quilty is Liz. We have wine stoppers that are a spool of thread! We met several years ago through sewing. We go on 3+ hour road trips one way because we don't have quilt resources near us. Because of covid we haven't had a trip or sewn together. That doesn't stop us. We text and phone and forward pix of our projects several times a day. She has underlying health issues and hasn't left her home except for doctor appointments. We still share supplies. I drive to her home and toss a bag over the fence or pickup a package she hung on the fence. Nothing can stop us from quilting and learning more. Thankyou for all your inspiration!!!
My quiltsie is so supportive. She drove me to buy my new machine and always makes the best comments when I post comments for the guild. We go out to eat on Mondays and always talk way longer than the waitress would have liked. She is the best!
My quiltsie and I love shopping for fabric together. With different viewpoints, we help each other "think outside the box" when looking for that perfect fabric to add a little punch of color. Can't shop without her!
My best friend, Deb, became my best friend because of quilting, more than 27 years ago. She is definitely the one who I go shop hopping with. Enables me to pull out my charge card and buy some more beautiful fabric. She is the best friend I could ever have! Love you Deb.
How blessed your Quiltsie’s are!! Mine would have to be Dodie who I’ve known and been friends with for 48 years. She supports me emotionally just as much as my sewing machine does! She’s my bestie and loves when I share sewn warmth with her. Thank you for being so very special, Angela.💕
I have several quiltsy's ...and they all would be the first, second and third to shop hop and lend me anything I needed. Susy, Robbin, Sue, and Marion are special people. One of my good quiltsy friends just died of COVID this December and I would love to make this quilt and give it to her family!
My Quiltsy is my sweet momma! She doesn't sew much because of her arthritis, but she took me to my 1st quilt class when I was 12 and has supported my love of all things sewing ever since. Her current favorite way to show me quilting love is to buy fabric projects for me to sew for her Great Grandbabies, which I happily do because I love them too!
My quilty and I have been inspiring each other for over 30 years. We can get crazy in love with a pattern, pick out the fabrics and cant wait to start. So much fun to have a buddy just as nuts as I am about fabric and creating a new quilt.
My quiltsy friend and I started quilting together and travelled back and forth to Edmonton AB to take classes, learn and shop together for years. She passed away and I miss her very much💞. I still love to quilt and think of her often. Love out to all of you and all of your quiltsy friends🌺
My quiltsie is my best friend Catherine. We have been friends for over 25 years. She introduced me to quilting. It's always great to bounce off ideas with her, go quilt shopping and making projects together. I am so lucky to have her in my life.
My quilte partner is one of my co workers. We started this year together as a way to self regulate our emotions. We are both therapist and can’t talk about our clients I started to quilt for my first time 2 months ago. I love watching RUclips videos. I showed my coworker and she wanted to start to. Due to the Covid we stay home all the time and zoom our clients that are children. So now we zoom one a week and work on a new quilt/ our first quilt together. We share different RUclips videos of our next ideas. Just quilting together has brought us closer together. Before we felt more isolated due to not seeing anyone around us. I can’t wait to do more quilt ideas together. I never knew you can use paper with your fabric! Wow I have so much to still learn. Thank you for making the videos it truly helps other people like me
I don't have a quilting buddy, but I would definitely make this for my best friend Brenda. We have been friends for our entire life (50 years). She is always encouraging me in whatever I sew and enjoys whatever I make her and treasures it just because I made it. She is constantly giving me ideas and requesting things for me to make for her or other loved ones. I constantly have multiple projects on the go or have ideas for the next project and one of those projects is a baby quilt for her granddaughter expected at end of March. I love making things for Brenda because she appreciates the time it takes and the love to go in it and she never notices if I made a mistake. She always says it looks professionally made. I made her a make-up bag and her daughter-in-law asked her where she bought it. She told her that I made it and could not have it because she will treasure it forever. She would definitely appreciate this quilt and hang it in her room.
When my sister died I wanted to make a T-shirt quilt with all her shirts. I had never quilted before and would have probably messed the whole thing up if it was not for my friend. She walked me through all the steps of how to make a quilt. I have learned so much from her and now I have made two other quilts out of my sister's shirts and now I would love to have quilting be part of my small business making memory quilts for others who have lost someone they love. I owe it all to my friend for teaching me and my mom for her constant encouragement.
My husband, he doesn't judge the size of my stash! He's great to take to the store, he'll carry the bags and sometimes buy! He doesn't care if my seams dont line up either. Love that man!
My quiltsi moved about 150 miles away but we still talk regularly. She’s always my voice of reason and encourager. Thank goodness for taking photos and texts messages when you need advice.
I’ve been quilting for a year and a half, I don’t have a quiltsie yet but my biggest fan and supporter is my mother. She would be my quiltsie if she quilted...maybe one day I’ll convince her to join us, quilters 🥰
Dawn is my Quilty friend, she’s actually a former co-worker who began her quilting hobby by sewing masks in 2020. We’ve helped each other through 2020 with doing the same QALs, watching your videos, virtually shopping for fabric, etc. it’s awesome having someone to quilt with. We look forward to the day when we can attend a retreat together! 😄
Love, Love, Love that your show is back, I started quilting this past year and your videos were a big part of why started. At this time, at the risk of sounding insane, I would have to say my quilty is my husband. It's only the two of us at home and because of covid and me having underlying medical issues, attending classes and meeting other quilters has been impossible. My husband patiently watches youtube with me, helps me pick out coordinating fabric, and even knows what a half square triangle, backing, and binding is among other quilting terms. Even though he is a tuff construction worker guy, he takes the time to help me because he knows I love it and it makes me happy!
I have two quiltsies! What a blessing with the pandemic! We take turns at each others houses since we're in that safe bubble and sew, exchange ideas, encourage each other when we get stumped on our projects. Sometimes we work on the same project; but, mostly we work on separate projects. If we have wine for lunch we're usually done sewing for the day and just visit or take a walk! Love all your videos!
This was such a fun project! My quiltsy is my daughter-in-law! We gift each other quilty things every chance we get. She's learning and she really rocks!!! I'm so blessed!
I met my quiltsy on a cruise a few years back. Even though we live across the country from each other we talk daily about our projects. She helps me in ways that go beyond her quilting expertise while having to survive being shut in for the past year. I’m so grateful to have her in my life 🥰
My Quiltsy is my mom! She is the one who inspired me to start sewing and I'm so blessed to have her in my life ❤ I absolutely love foundation paper piecing!
My Quilt buddy is my Aunt who has helped me learn how to quilt and she is always there when I have a question. She understands the need to "pet" fabric!!!
My quiltsie is my mom❤️. She bought me my first sewing machine and got be hooked! We have been going on quilt retreats together for almost 10 years with my sister and my mom’s friend. This year because of the pandemic we could go so we made our own. I am thankful for the time we spend together quilting.
My BFF for 30+ years is Elaine. I never gave her quilting hobby much thought until about 6 years ago when I went to my first quilt retreat with her and other FWQ's (friends who quilt). At first I hated the whole painful process, I too flunked the sewing machine test in home economics! But, what I lack in skill I make up for with perseverance and the support of my quiltsey. Elaine has always encouraged me in every aspect of life. She even trusted me to help her pack up her sewing room when she moved! I am thankful for my wonderful quilting friends with whom I share this journey, plus tools, fabric, and the true stash amounts without judgment! We are sewn together!
I don't have a quiltsy friend. But my husband is my biggest cheerleader. He always encourages and praises me on what I am doing. He always wants me to explain on how I am doing a quilt. We are both big supporters of each other.
My nanny is my quiltsie. She doesn't sew anymore because of Parkinsons but she gave me her machine and always let me know after I finish a project how good it is and how I reminded her of her mum who was always the best at crafts. Can't get a better compliment that that ♥️
It might be shocking but my hubby is my quiltsie. Without his help I wouldn’t be able to learn to quit. He gifted me my sewing machine. He goes fabric shopping with me, helps me pick my pattern and when I am done, he is the only one who completes my work. And you are my quilting teacher and inspiration. I am literally addicted to your videos. You are a great person. Thank you so much from Canada. ❤️❤️❤️
My Quiltsy is my grandson. I taught him how to quilt when he was 7 and kept asking me to let him quilt like I do. He gets so excited each week when he comes over to see what I have made and is ready to start working on his project. He loves to go shopping for fabric and patterns and has even tried his hand at designing his own. I'm so happy to have him so interested in order to keep quilting alive.
I’m so lucky! My Quiltsy is not only my best quilting/shopping friend and my best friend EVER, she’s my sister!!! We have always had such fun together...even as kids...creating, gossiping, and being together. And now that we’re in our 60s we still share time together when we can and sharing fabric and ideas! both of us have amazing daughters and granddaughters that love to craft! We are all always coming up with ideas and making projects for each other! Like I said I’m very lucky!!! (Oh and we both love watching you!)
My quilt friend can change and up any pattern or make up her own pattern. She gives so much encouragement and compliments to others work. Oh yes, how do you pick just one best quilt friend. They are all so special. Love my quilt friends. 💞
My Quiltsie is my Mom!! We help each other all the time. We shop together. FaceTime when we need help. She is always sending me notions to my door!💚 she is definitely my best Quiltsie!💝
My quiltsie is my husband. I had him T-shirts made for his birthday that proclaim him an official quilt tester. He likes to watch me quilt the sandwiches. Thank you Angela for inspiring me to try free motion quilting!! I am loving it!!!!!!
My quilty friend is Agnes. She has helped me since I retired and started learning to quilt. Whenever I have a problem or question I call her and she either comes over my house or I go to her. She is the best quilt buddy.
My Quitsy is My Mom, we have shared many laughs, and tears both of laughter and sorrow, as well as many quilting adventures on trips , retreats and quilt shops,! As we each get another year older our time together becomes much more precious. A close second is my Friend Tiffany although a New quilter she has no fear! I love our time together and share her love at discovering Fabric shops, new techniques and why I love quilting so very Much!
My Quiltsy is my oldest sister Pat. I live in Oregon and she lives in Illinois. When i got my first longarm, i needed practice. My sis to the rescue, she sent me 12 quilt tops. i got do finish them any way i wished. i was so lucky to have real quilt tops to challenge my skills. she continues to send me tops. i am on my second long arm (Gammill Classic Plus) i am so thank for her and the love of sewing and quilting we share.
My quiltsy is my best friend Kate. She and I bonded at work over a scarf she had knitted. We found we were both quilters and we had this moment (like from the movie Stepbrothers) where we looked at each other and asked "did we just become best friends?!". She made my daughter 3 different quilts when she was born and is somebody I want my little girl looking up to. She long arm quilts all my big quilts and I edit and test all her quilt patterns. I couldn't imagine my life without her
My Quiltsy-Ellen- is an amazing Mom of 4. She has long arm quilting business and encouraged me to buy a long arm too! Her time management amazes me! I’d love to gift her a little love !
My quiltsy friend is Cathy. We have been friends for every. We help each other when we have problems. But she is my go to for picking our fabrics. She is always there for me!
My mom is my quiltsy, she has been encouraging me to start sewing again after my son died last year. I'm getting out a little more and have made a couple very nice friends! Thank you for being so upbeat!
My quilt buddy is my friend Wanda. She was always a quilter and I was a jock playing baseball all the time. I always admired her quilts and she continued to say " one day you're gonna make a quilt" I finally decided to make a quilt, but didn't know what I wanted to make. We went to several quilt shows, in a small town in Tennessee. She told me pick what I like. I picked a log cabin every time, not realizing it. They looked different to me, with different lay outs and colors. Once she pointed out it was the same patten I decided I love log cabin quilts.The first quilt I ever made was a king size log cabin, for my bed. Go big or go home, right ? She is my inspiration and best friend in so many ways!!
My Quiltsi is me, myself and I! I quilt alone and surround myself with all the quilty things that bring me joy.🥰 I shop hop alone and surf the net for inspiration from the wider quilting community.
My quiltsie's are my daughters! I started quilting about two years ago and have since taught each of my girls how to quilt. For months we got together every week for "Quilting Wednesday's" since they had Wednesday's off work. Schedules have changed now and we have a brand new grandbaby in the mix, so we are trying out "Quilting Friday's" instead. Even if we can't get together every week now, we still cheer each other on over text. It's been such a joy to share this awesome hobby with them!
My Quiltsy bestie is Crystal. She and I use to work together teaching high school math. She is the reason I started quilting. She’s like a sister to me !!! I don’t know what I’d do without her!!!
My name is Suzanne and my quiltsy is my 93 y.o. Cousin, Betty. Many years ago, we would meet weekly and finish quilts together. She is in a nursing home now, but she still loves seeing all the quilts I am working on via email. She gifted me all her stash, books and UFOs (which I have finished)! 💕
My Quiltsy is my daughter. She helps me not only with quilting, but with all kinds of life challenges and has done so for many years. She's amazing and only 18!! I love you, Sweetie!!
My Quiltsie is my friend and neighbor Helen, who got me interested in quilting. Our quilting journey together started with the July Shop Hop in southwestern Ontario in 2018. I fell in love with all the amazing fabrics and patterns I saw that July and so began my quilting journey! There is no stopping me now! I love this pattern and would certainly love the opportunity to win . Love your videos Angela. You are a quilting Angel!
My Aunt Judy would be my Quiltzy. She is the person who got me interested in sewing and the textile arts. She also made and gifted me with a beautiful queen-sized quilt and pillow shams as a wedding gift many years ago. We live in separate states, so no shopping together. Hoping to start a quilting group in my neighborhood after this pandemic settles down and build a group of Quiltzy friends in the Fall. I know of at least a dozen ladies here who quilt, so looking forward to finding my tribe! So no in-person quilting pals, but I have watched most of the Midnight Quilt Shows and find encouragement, skill-building and entertainment there. Keep being great at what you do! 😊💕
My quiltsie and I went on a road trip to liberty Missouri and got to your shop right at closing time so we got dinner and spent the night and came back the next day...we had the best time!!!!
My Quilysy is my friend , Kris! She is one of the most amazing, generous women I know. She shared her love of quilting with me and taught me so much! She's given me so much fabric and got me started with needed notions. She is truly amazing!
My quiltsy is my grandma. She is the one that started me on my quilting journey at the age of 16. We've been quilting together for 11 years now! Shes passionate about her craft and is always making baby quilts to give away to anyone who has a little munchkin. Any larger quilt she makes, she'll keep them for a little bit to "test out" and admire for herself before giving those away too! She loves cross-province shop-hops with the ladies and loves to get on the phone to chat about what we have been making recently. She keeps me motivated and also sends her friends my way if anyone is looking for a quilt to be quilted. Shes an amazing quiltsy. My quiltsy number 2 is my eldest sister. She always has a unique project going on and her colour sense is amazing! She's the perfect person to talk to when I'm stumped on a design choice for quilting. Shes always just a message away
I taught myself to quilt with the help of watching your videos and with the special help of the lady in the fabric shop who I think of as my quiltsie. Thanks for your help and tips.
My Mom is my quilty. She doesn't quilt herself, but she is my biggest cheerleader and supporter along with my Dad who bought me my sit down longarm machine. I love them both and make things for them all the time. My Grandma actually gave the two partial quilts a long time ago that my Great Grandma started and that is what got me hooked. I finished one and the other is hand pieced and I am still working on it. I just wish my Grandma was still around to see them.
My quiltsie and I met while working at a quilt shop! She did the longarming for the shop, designed their quilt kits, and was amazing with intuitive quilting designs. I was a new quilter, barely started, and she taught me so much. When she left the shop for greener pastures, we used to meet up for weekly breakfasts. Now she has moved further away, but we are in touch every week. That's the thing about quiltsies, I guess. No matter how far away they are, they're always there for you!
Oh my gosh! I wish I could read all the stories of everyone's Quiltsie, but there are so many! I haven't really known my Quiltsie, Kathy, that long. We met at a local Christmas in July craft presentation where we sat next to each other. We had time before the presentation started (got there early) so I asked her what her favorite craft was. She lit up, and we haven't stopped talking since! (You just can't make something like that happen. If you're seeking a Quiltsie, just be open to any opportunity.) She calls me the "fabric whisperer" because when she's looking for a fabric to go with something, I often pick out the perfect fabric that she may not even have looked at. That said, she also has a gift for picking great fabric combinations ... and actually FINISHING her quilts! Thank you Angela for your unique inspiration.
My quilty is my friend Bev. She is so excited to learn, needs a lot of help but love working with her. She is a perfectionist, but will do anything for anyone.
Gitte is my quiltsy! She got me on to your first seasons of The Midnight Quilter. She is awesome at putting colours together even though she will not believe in her own abilities. I love her dearly! 💖 She is also the Godmother of my daughter so we have many things to thank her for 💕
My mom is my Quiltsie. She instillled a love for sewing and quilting in me as far back as I can remember. She lives on the street behind ours, so our back yards are "seamless". She fully supports every new adventure that I want to try...like recently teaching myself to FMQ on a domestic. She is always ready to shop hop, Row by Row, open her home for several friends to have a "mock retreat", or just talk sewing/quilting. Despite having my own exhaustive stash, she allows me to "shop" in her stash. We love sewing together, teaching sewing and quilting together, attending classes together, and sharing the final products with others. LOL. I just wanted to share with you that while I did not fail home-ec, it was my only C ever in High School! Because, I knew too many shortcuts....and was resistant to "making things harder than they needed to be". I did get an A on my final production - a beautiful summer dress. I fell in love with cross-stitching and quilting....but I am sure that I was as "obstinate" as my aunt labelled me at that time in life. I was a "rule follower" and never in trouble....but some things you need to take a stand on.
My Quiltsie is my daughter. For years she showed no interest in sewing or making quilts but WOW, now she is a regular quilt making diva! We encourage each other to expand and improve our craft, it's a love we share.
I have a BFF who is my best quilt buddy as well! Shelbie and I both love to garden, cook, travel and drink wine ;). She is just beginning her quilt journey and this would be an amazing gift for her!
My quilty is my mom who got going to quilt shows at age 35. I'm now 60 and can't imagine not quilting everyday. My is 80 and still quilting. I have the dream macchine 2 and my mom has a babylock accord and a brother embroidery only that she also uses for edge to edge quilting. We're both making tons of masks. I would live to surprise her with quilt love wall hanging. I live in Idaho and mumsy lives in wisconson. Both parents are 80 and still live in the home I grew up in. We love your tutorials and learn tons from the free motion classes. You are doing a great job and we were very excited to see you on midnight quilter.
I have my aunt and my daughter. My aunt loves to check out my works in progress and help with color choices. My daughter also loves to help me pick out the colors and watch me work. I can't wait until she's ready to make her first quilt with me.
My quiltzy is my 82 year old mom. She taught me to sew when I was 7 by doing string quilts. . She has made beautiful quilts and taught me so much. Purchased my first quilt pattern and material for me years ago. She is back to string quilts on her own since she is having challenges with memory but she can make anything when we are working as a team.
My Quiltsy would have to be Shelly. We were friends before either one of us knew that the other was a quilter. Then I married her dad and acquired a sewing room in the bargain. Now we share color ideas, design ideas, The perfect Little piece of fabric needed to accomplish a design idea, successes and challenges related to our quilting. And I have had the privilege of having my friend become my daughter❣️
My mom is my quiltsie:)!! She taught me piecing and appliqué. Now I have a long arm, and I do all her quilting!!! Because she has been quilting for over 30 years, she has a great fabric stash that I get to “ shop” at when I need that one special piece!! Love my quiltsie!!❤️❤️
I moved to Australia 8 years ago from USA. That’s when I began quilting. My sister had been trying to get me hooked for years, but I didn’t get the bug until I moved. Now we quilt “together” all the time. When I go home or when she comes to visit, we shop quilt shops and do projects together - in person! I love my sis and she is my Quilty!
My quilty friend drove 1 hour 45 minutes with me to a quilt shop! I love quilting so much, I opened my own store. I teach young people how to sew! It gives them a skill and a hobby during these times of stay at home situations. Thank you Angela! For being an inspiration. Dawn Cohen: sarasota sews!
My quiltsie, is currently in hospital fighting leukemia. G has had a longarm business and been a quilter for many years. I have only known her for the past year or so as after the death of my mom; my dad introduced us and as become part of our family. They live on our property next door, so we have become close! Dad has since became a quilter as well and bought her a longarm about 3 months ago. They watched many tutorials. I have always sewn but was garment and alterations business. I did make wall hanging with my mom "sew" was introduced to quilting and have always been astonished at how colors are put together and patterns are made (some unknown patterns until blocks are placed on design wall) Now retired and meeting my new bestie quiltsie; I have completed a couple baby quilts and am loving it and all her experience. I was teaching her to use serger, etc and she was teaching me quilting techniques. I'm so thankful she came into our lives as my parents were married 57 years, I have lost my hubby of 35 years both in just the last 3 years and now she has become ill. I pray everyday she will beat this! We have lots of quilting still to do together. Thanks so much for your channel and ALL the tutorials. PS: Dad knows your name. :)
I knew who my best quilty was immediately. My kindergarten friend, professional upholster, no rules allowed, color inspirationist, quilt ribbon award winner Susan Fay!
My Quiltsy is my wonderful older sister! She started quilting right after I did so instead of her holding my hand through something, I was able to be the hand holder for once and teach her something new! She is such a beautiful soul and is the most selfless, accepting, and genuine person that I have ever met! 🥰👩🏻🤝👩🏼
My quiltsy is a good friend from work! We both work as RNs in a COVID ICU right now, and discussing our works in progress and showing each other pictures of what we’re working on outside of work has really helped keep our sanity! She also always encourages me to try new methods and patterns, it’s so fun having an amazing quiltsy! 🥰
My special quiltsy is my daughter. Our family are all in the medical field and our time together is always special. We both love to quilt and try new patterns and have a show and tell together and share what we have completed. Great times together!!
Since I was diagnosed with cancer, my daughter has been my best quilt buddy. She jumps in the car anytime I have quilty need for the local quilt shop 30 minutes away. This semester, she has forgone college classes so she could be home with me. Brittany has learned how to sew, made her first quilt, and she machine quilted it too. How cool is that!!!
She knows what’s important and precious in her life and that’s a relationship with her mom. She’ll never regret forgoing a semester of college and what she’s learned through you is more valuable. Great daughter, I think she has a great mom. I hope you win the fight, prayers to you.
Very cool. It will be a link forever between you and to the next generation.
I made my 1st quilt for my mom too, when she had cancer too! It has since been given to my son, love is shared!
I have two quilt buddies, Diane and Charlene. We have been buddies since 2000-2001. We encourage each other to complete quilts. We get together once a week to complete projects, snack, and laugh. They have been wonderful friends and quilties for years and I am so happy to be a part of their lives.
My quiltsie is my mom!! She taught herself to sew when I was 10 and asked to learn. She doesn't sew on her own but is always willing to jump in on anything I want to do as a way to spend time together. She is always so supportive and will spend time poking around my craft room just being with me as I work. We've made many sampler blocks and two quilts together. My favorite project was when she and my sister in law made a few string blocks with me to complete my daughter's baby quilt. She knows the value and love of the time put in and is super quilt worthy! I couldn't begin to count the hours we've spent fabric shopping and somehow she always beats me to paying for it.. We now do projects with my daughter and recently celebrated "sew a jelly roll day" by having a "tea and jelly" tea party then made a quilt top. Once I get it bound it will take turns going back and forth between our house and hers. Sewing for us isn't just about the completed project but about family and that warm hug a quilt gives when we aren't together to get one in person.
My quiltsy is Brenda!!!! She helps me with everything quilty!!! She is always there to help, support and guide. She is a real treasure!!
My son Toby, is my quiltsy. We faithfully watch quilting videos every night before bed. He has just started his first quilt! Love my sweet quiltsy🥰
My Quiltsie & I are so in tune with each other, we like the same fabrics, the same styles of quilts and we’re happy to share that last piece of fabric that we both love. That’s a true Quilty love. Once again a delight to see your video Angela. Love your happy happy go lucky style.
My quiltsie is Elaine, without her encouragement and guidance I would never have got into the exciting world of quilting.
I love your tutorials and live chats. Quilting has been my saviour thought out the Covid-19 pandemic.
Stay safe everyone and keep quilting.
My quiltsy is my husband. He loves my quilts and cheers me on! He takes me to every quilt shop I can find on every vacation. I've quilted him bunches of throws up to king size bed quilts on my sitdown longarm. He says if the fire alarm ever goes off, grab as many quilts as you can on the way out the door! Never mind the silver.
My quilting teachers are a husband and wife team. I miss them terribly.
He is definitely a keeper!
My mom taught my sister to sew when she was a child but I could never sit still long enough. When I was in my 30’s, they made me piece my first quilt ( a scrappy 9 patch). That was all it took. Our mom eventually couldn’t piece or quilt anymore so my sister and I kept up the craft. We were asked time and time again to sell our quilts but that would mean our love of quilts was a job, which would kill the love. So, we always give our quilts away. Our mom passed over 2 years ago. When we get together to quilt, we use some of her notions and a lamp that she had in her sewing room. We can feel her with us as we sew across the table from each other. My sister is my quiltsie, my bestie, my heart. She always teaches me something when we are together. We would love the Quilt Love kits. Thank you, we love your show.

My quiltie is my best friend and sister, "M". During this pandemic, we have had little sewing retreats for just the two of us, either at her house or mine. She is the best!
Thank you for sharing. My quilting buddy and I grew very close over the past year. Our daughters are best friends, thus we had time to spend together in quarantine. We started out making masks together for family and donations. Then one day we laughed about how many masks we had and how we would have to make a quarantine quilt from them when it is all over. That prompted us to visit the local fabric store and begin our first quilt. We have enjoyed learning from your past and current videos on machine quilting. She is a fan of FMQ and I prefer your rulers...”slim” is a favorite. We have spent almost every weekend sewing together. Between the both of us, we have sewn and quilted 4 twin sized, 2 baby, 2 table toppers and a runner. My husband tired of seeing all the quilting on the kitchen table made us our very own space in the basement. We have a large 6’x6’ table, cutting station and 3’x5’ pressing station. We are both teachers and very blessed to have each other and this amazing hobby to keep us sane during these hectic times. Thanks for teaching us teachers how it’s done! ❤️
My Quiltsy is my new neighbor of 9 months! I have been quilting for many years but she has had me explore new ideas and “gets” me when I get SO excited about a new pattern or fabric! She lends me tools that I didn’t know exist! And of course I have to get my own! It’s so fun to share the love of quilting with her! She makes my world a better place!
I don’t have Quiltsi. I quilt alone 🥲. But I have a lot of social media quilting friends. This is how I learned sewing 🧵
My sister is my Quiltsie. After I retired I was watching her finish a baby quilt and i was inspired. We live a few thousand miles apart but love sending pictures of our current work!
my Quiltsy is my Bestie Debbie!!!! We have been friends since we were very little. Now we are both in our 50's!!! Every time I have a new pattern or design she is the first person I call and text!!! She may not be into Quilting but she is great at picking out colors!!! For example, I am working on a table runner now, best part is it's for Debbie!! She picked the material and I get to quilt it!!! How perfect is that!!! She is also very crafty, but she is more into doing printing!! Best part of having a Quiltsy Bestie is every week or so we get things sent to each other!!! I am truly blessed to have her in my life!!! Love ya Deb!!
I'm a solitary quilter, but love to talk quilting with anybody!
Me TOO!
I love all your shows. I have always free motion quilted my projects because I want them to be 100% my work. I love Midnight Quilter and learn so much from you. My quilty is Liz. We have wine stoppers that are a spool of thread! We met several years ago through sewing. We go on 3+ hour road trips one way because we don't have quilt resources near us. Because of covid we haven't had a trip or sewn together. That doesn't stop us. We text and phone and forward pix of our projects several times a day. She has underlying health issues and hasn't left her home except for doctor appointments. We still share supplies. I drive to her home and toss a bag over the fence or pickup a package she hung on the fence. Nothing can stop us from quilting and learning more. Thankyou for all your inspiration!!!
My quiltsie is so supportive. She drove me to buy my new machine and always makes the best comments when I post comments for the guild. We go out to eat on Mondays and always talk way longer than the waitress would have liked. She is the best!
My quiltsie and I love shopping for fabric together. With different viewpoints, we help each other "think outside the box" when looking for that perfect fabric to add a little punch of color. Can't shop without her!
My best friend, Deb, became my best friend because of quilting, more than 27 years ago. She is definitely the one who I go shop hopping with. Enables me to pull out my charge card and buy some more beautiful fabric. She is the best friend I could ever have! Love you Deb.
My husband is by far my biggest supporter. But my Grandma is my quiltsie she's always excited to see what I'm doing and how far I've come.
How blessed your Quiltsie’s are!! Mine would have to be Dodie who I’ve known and been friends with for 48 years. She supports me emotionally just as much as my sewing machine does! She’s my bestie and loves when I share sewn warmth with her. Thank you for being so very special, Angela.💕
I have several quiltsy's ...and they all would be the first, second and third to shop hop and lend me anything I needed. Susy, Robbin, Sue, and Marion are special people. One of my good quiltsy friends just died of COVID this December and I would love to make this quilt and give it to her family!
My Quiltsy is my sweet momma! She doesn't sew much because of her arthritis, but she took me to my 1st quilt class when I was 12 and has supported my love of all things sewing ever since. Her current favorite way to show me quilting love is to buy fabric projects for me to sew for her Great Grandbabies, which I happily do because I love them too!
My quilty and I have been inspiring each other for over 30 years. We can get crazy in love with a pattern, pick out the fabrics and cant wait to start.
So much fun to have a buddy just as nuts as I am about fabric and creating a new quilt.
My quiltsy friend and I started quilting together and travelled back and forth to Edmonton AB to take classes, learn and shop together for years. She passed away and I miss her very much💞. I still love to quilt and think of her often. Love out to all of you and all of your quiltsy friends🌺
My quiltsie is my best friend Catherine. We have been friends for over 25 years. She introduced me to quilting. It's always great to bounce off ideas with her, go quilt shopping and making projects together. I am so lucky to have her in my life.
My quilte partner is one of my co workers. We started this year together as a way to self regulate our emotions. We are both therapist and can’t talk about our clients I started to quilt for my first time 2 months ago. I love watching RUclips videos. I showed my coworker and she wanted to start to. Due to the Covid we stay home all the time and zoom our clients that are children. So now we zoom one a week and work on a new quilt/ our first quilt together. We share different RUclips videos of our next ideas. Just quilting together has brought us closer together. Before we felt more isolated due to not seeing anyone around us. I can’t wait to do more quilt ideas together. I never knew you can use paper with your fabric! Wow I have so much to still learn. Thank you for making the videos it truly helps other people like me
I don't have a quilting buddy, but I would definitely make this for my best friend Brenda. We have been friends for our entire life (50 years). She is always encouraging me in whatever I sew and enjoys whatever I make her and treasures it just because I made it. She is constantly giving me ideas and requesting things for me to make for her or other loved ones. I constantly have multiple projects on the go or have ideas for the next project and one of those projects is a baby quilt for her granddaughter expected at end of March. I love making things for Brenda because she appreciates the time it takes and the love to go in it and she never notices if I made a mistake. She always says it looks professionally made. I made her a make-up bag and her daughter-in-law asked her where she bought it. She told her that I made it and could not have it because she will treasure it forever. She would definitely appreciate this quilt and hang it in her room.
When my sister died I wanted to make a T-shirt quilt with all her shirts. I had never quilted before and would have probably messed the whole thing up if it was not for my friend. She walked me through all the steps of how to make a quilt. I have learned so much from her and now I have made two other quilts out of my sister's shirts and now I would love to have quilting be part of my small business making memory quilts for others who have lost someone they love. I owe it all to my friend for teaching me and my mom for her constant encouragement.
My husband, he doesn't judge the size of my stash! He's great to take to the store, he'll carry the bags and sometimes buy! He doesn't care if my seams dont line up either. Love that man!
My quiltsi moved about 150 miles away but we still talk regularly. She’s always my voice of reason and encourager. Thank goodness for taking photos and texts messages when you need advice.
I’ve been quilting for a year and a half, I don’t have a quiltsie yet but my biggest fan and supporter is my mother. She would be my quiltsie if she quilted...maybe one day I’ll convince her to join us, quilters 🥰
Dawn is my Quilty friend, she’s actually a former co-worker who began her quilting hobby by sewing masks in 2020. We’ve helped each other through 2020 with doing the same QALs, watching your videos, virtually shopping for fabric, etc. it’s awesome having someone to quilt with. We look forward to the day when we can attend a retreat together! 😄
My quilty lives far away but we keep in touch every day. She inspired me to try free motion quilting. She's the best!
My Nana is my quiltsie! She taught me how to quilt and we love sewing together ❤
My quiltsie is my mother-in-law-she helped me find this passion in 1994 and we have had a BLAST ever since! ❤️❤️you Helen!
My Quiltsie totally gets me. She has even come over and watched my kids so I could finish up a gift for someone else!
Love, Love, Love that your show is back, I started quilting this past year and your videos were a big part of why started. At this time, at the risk of sounding insane, I would have to say my quilty is my husband. It's only the two of us at home and because of covid and me having underlying medical issues, attending classes and meeting other quilters has been impossible. My husband patiently watches youtube with me, helps me pick out coordinating fabric, and even knows what a half square triangle, backing, and binding is among other quilting terms. Even though he is a tuff construction worker guy, he takes the time to help me because he knows I love it and it makes me happy!
I have two quiltsies! What a blessing with the pandemic! We take turns at each others houses since we're in that safe bubble and sew, exchange ideas, encourage each other when we get stumped on our projects. Sometimes we work on the same project; but, mostly we work on separate projects. If we have wine for lunch we're usually done sewing for the day and just visit or take a walk! Love all your videos!
This was such a fun project! My quiltsy is my daughter-in-law! We gift each other quilty things every chance we get. She's learning and she really rocks!!! I'm so blessed!
I met my quiltsy on a cruise a few years back. Even though we live across the country from each other we talk daily about our projects. She helps me in ways that go beyond her quilting expertise while having to survive being shut in for the past year. I’m so grateful to have her in my life 🥰
My Quiltsy is my mom! She is the one who inspired me to start sewing and I'm so blessed to have her in my life ❤ I absolutely love foundation paper piecing!
My Quilt buddy is my Aunt who has helped me learn how to quilt and she is always there when I have a question. She understands the need to "pet" fabric!!!
My Quiltsy is my Auntie! We talk fabric and quilting all the time! She’s totally the best Quiltsy I could have ever asked for! 💕
My quiltsie is my mom❤️. She bought me my first sewing machine and got be hooked! We have been going on quilt retreats together for almost 10 years with my sister and my mom’s friend. This year because of the pandemic we could go so we made our own. I am thankful for the time we spend together quilting.
My BFF for 30+ years is Elaine. I never gave her quilting hobby much thought until about 6 years ago when I went to my first quilt retreat with her and other FWQ's (friends who quilt). At first I hated the whole painful process, I too flunked the sewing machine test in home economics! But, what I lack in skill I make up for with perseverance and the support of my quiltsey. Elaine has always encouraged me in every aspect of life. She even trusted me to help her pack up her sewing room when she moved! I am thankful for my wonderful quilting friends with whom I share this journey, plus tools, fabric, and the true stash amounts without judgment! We are sewn together!
I don't have a quiltsy friend. But my husband is my biggest cheerleader. He always encourages and praises me on what I am doing. He always wants me to explain on how I am doing a quilt. We are both big supporters of each other.
This is my comment to enter.
Love this quilt. So adorable! Perfect for valentine's day.
My nanny is my quiltsie. She doesn't sew anymore because of Parkinsons but she gave me her machine and always let me know after I finish a project how good it is and how I reminded her of her mum who was always the best at crafts. Can't get a better compliment that that ♥️
It might be shocking but my hubby is my quiltsie. Without his help I wouldn’t be able to learn to quit. He gifted me my sewing machine. He goes fabric shopping with me, helps me pick my pattern and when I am done, he is the only one who completes my work.
And you are my quilting teacher and inspiration. I am literally addicted to your videos. You are a great person. Thank you so much from Canada. ❤️❤️❤️
My Quiltsy is my grandson. I taught him how to quilt when he was 7 and kept asking me to let him quilt like I do. He gets so excited each week when he comes over to see what I have made and is ready to start working on his project. He loves to go shopping for fabric and patterns and has even tried his hand at designing his own. I'm so happy to have him so interested in order to keep quilting alive.
I’m so lucky! My Quiltsy is not only my best quilting/shopping friend and my best friend EVER, she’s my sister!!! We have always had such fun together...even as kids...creating, gossiping, and being together. And now that we’re in our 60s we still share time together when we can and sharing fabric and ideas! both of us have amazing daughters and granddaughters that love to craft! We are all always coming up with ideas and making projects for each other! Like I said I’m very lucky!!! (Oh and we both love watching you!)
My quilt friend can change and up any pattern or make up her own pattern. She gives so much encouragement and compliments to others work. Oh yes, how do you pick just one best quilt friend. They are all so special. Love my quilt friends. 💞
My Quiltsie is my Mom!! We help each other all the time. We shop together. FaceTime when we need help. She is always sending me notions to my door!💚 she is definitely my best Quiltsie!💝
I do not have a quilty yet but I enjoy watching RUclips tutorials and learning new techniques
My quiltsie is my husband. I had him T-shirts made for his birthday that proclaim him an official quilt tester. He likes to watch me quilt the sandwiches. Thank you Angela for inspiring me to try free motion quilting!! I am loving it!!!!!!
My quilty friend is Agnes. She has helped me since I retired and started learning to quilt. Whenever I have a problem or question I call her and she either comes over my house or I go to her. She is the best quilt buddy.
My Quitsy is My Mom, we have shared many laughs, and tears both of laughter and sorrow, as well as many quilting adventures on trips , retreats and quilt shops,! As we each get another year older our time together becomes much more precious. A close second is my Friend Tiffany although a New quilter she has no fear! I love our time together and share her love at discovering Fabric shops, new techniques and why I love quilting so very Much!
My Quiltsy is my oldest sister Pat. I live in Oregon and she lives in Illinois. When i got my first longarm, i needed practice. My sis to the rescue, she sent me 12 quilt tops. i got do finish them any way i wished. i was so lucky to have real quilt tops to challenge my skills. she continues to send me tops. i am on my second long arm (Gammill Classic Plus) i am so thank for her and the love of sewing and quilting we share.
My quiltsy is my best friend Kate. She and I bonded at work over a scarf she had knitted. We found we were both quilters and we had this moment (like from the movie Stepbrothers) where we looked at each other and asked "did we just become best friends?!". She made my daughter 3 different quilts when she was born and is somebody I want my little girl looking up to. She long arm quilts all my big quilts and I edit and test all her quilt patterns. I couldn't imagine my life without her
My Quiltsy-Ellen- is an amazing Mom of 4. She has long arm quilting business and encouraged me to buy a long arm too! Her time management amazes me! I’d love to gift her a little love !
My quiltsy friend is Cathy. We have been friends for every. We help each other when we have problems. But she is my go to for picking our fabrics. She is always there for me!
My mom is my quiltsy, she has been encouraging me to start sewing again after my son died last year. I'm getting out a little more and have made a couple very nice friends! Thank you for being so upbeat!
My quilt buddy is my friend Wanda. She was always a quilter and I was a jock playing baseball all the time. I always admired her quilts and she continued to say " one day you're gonna make a quilt" I finally decided to make a quilt, but didn't know what I wanted to make. We went to several quilt shows, in a small town in Tennessee. She told me pick what I like. I picked a log cabin every time, not realizing it. They looked different to me, with different lay outs and colors. Once she pointed out it was the same patten I decided I love log cabin quilts.The first quilt I ever made was a king size log cabin, for my bed. Go big or go home, right ? She is my inspiration and best friend in so many ways!!
My quiltsy is Carol, she is the one who encouraged me to start quilting and is always there when l need help of advice. She is the best!
My Quiltsi is me, myself and I! I quilt alone and surround myself with all the quilty things that bring me joy.🥰 I shop hop alone and surf the net for inspiration from the wider quilting community.
My quiltsie's are my daughters! I started quilting about two years ago and have since taught each of my girls how to quilt. For months we got together every week for "Quilting Wednesday's" since they had Wednesday's off work. Schedules have changed now and we have a brand new grandbaby in the mix, so we are trying out "Quilting Friday's" instead. Even if we can't get together every week now, we still cheer each other on over text. It's been such a joy to share this awesome hobby with them!
My Quiltsy bestie is Crystal. She and I use to work together teaching high school math. She is the reason I started quilting. She’s like a sister to me !!! I don’t know what I’d do without her!!!
My name is Suzanne and my quiltsy is my 93 y.o. Cousin, Betty. Many years ago, we would meet weekly and finish quilts together. She is in a nursing home now, but she still loves seeing all the quilts I am working on via email. She gifted me all her stash, books and UFOs (which I have finished)! 💕
My Quiltsy is my daughter. She helps me not only with quilting, but with all kinds of life challenges and has done so for many years. She's amazing and only 18!! I love you, Sweetie!!
A whole new circle of friends since I started quilting, now I know they are my quiltsie’s!
My Quiltsie is my friend and neighbor Helen, who got me interested in quilting. Our quilting journey together started with the July Shop Hop in southwestern Ontario in 2018. I fell in love with all the amazing fabrics and patterns I saw that July and so began my quilting journey! There is no stopping me now! I love this pattern and would certainly love the opportunity to win . Love your videos Angela. You are a quilting Angel!
My Aunt Judy would be my Quiltzy. She is the person who got me interested in sewing and the textile arts. She also made and gifted me with a beautiful queen-sized quilt and pillow shams as a wedding gift many years ago. We live in separate states, so no shopping together. Hoping to start a quilting group in my neighborhood after this pandemic settles down and build a group of Quiltzy friends in the Fall. I know of at least a dozen ladies here who quilt, so looking forward to finding my tribe! So no in-person quilting pals, but I have watched most of the Midnight Quilt Shows and find encouragement, skill-building and entertainment there. Keep being great at what you do! 😊💕
My quiltsie and I went on a road trip to liberty Missouri and got to your shop right at closing time so we got dinner and spent the night and came back the next day...we had the best time!!!!
My Quilysy is my friend , Kris! She is one of the most amazing, generous women I know. She shared her love of quilting with me and taught me so much! She's given me so much fabric and got me started with needed notions. She is truly amazing!
My quiltsy is my grandma. She is the one that started me on my quilting journey at the age of 16. We've been quilting together for 11 years now! Shes passionate about her craft and is always making baby quilts to give away to anyone who has a little munchkin. Any larger quilt she makes, she'll keep them for a little bit to "test out" and admire for herself before giving those away too! She loves cross-province shop-hops with the ladies and loves to get on the phone to chat about what we have been making recently. She keeps me motivated and also sends her friends my way if anyone is looking for a quilt to be quilted. Shes an amazing quiltsy. My quiltsy number 2 is my eldest sister. She always has a unique project going on and her colour sense is amazing! She's the perfect person to talk to when I'm stumped on a design choice for quilting. Shes always just a message away
I taught myself to quilt with the help of watching your videos and with the special help of the lady in the fabric shop who I think of as my quiltsie. Thanks for your help and tips.
My Mom is my quilty. She doesn't quilt herself, but she is my biggest cheerleader and supporter along with my Dad who bought me my sit down longarm machine. I love them both and make things for them all the time. My Grandma actually gave the two partial quilts a long time ago that my Great Grandma started and that is what got me hooked. I finished one and the other is hand pieced and I am still working on it. I just wish my Grandma was still around to see them.
My quiltsie and I met while working at a quilt shop! She did the longarming for the shop, designed their quilt kits, and was amazing with intuitive quilting designs. I was a new quilter, barely started, and she taught me so much. When she left the shop for greener pastures, we used to meet up for weekly breakfasts. Now she has moved further away, but we are in touch every week. That's the thing about quiltsies, I guess. No matter how far away they are, they're always there for you!
Oh my gosh! I wish I could read all the stories of everyone's Quiltsie, but there are so many! I haven't really known my Quiltsie, Kathy, that long. We met at a local Christmas in July craft presentation where we sat next to each other. We had time before the presentation started (got there early) so I asked her what her favorite craft was. She lit up, and we haven't stopped talking since! (You just can't make something like that happen. If you're seeking a Quiltsie, just be open to any opportunity.) She calls me the "fabric whisperer" because when she's looking for a fabric to go with something, I often pick out the perfect fabric that she may not even have looked at. That said, she also has a gift for picking great fabric combinations ... and actually FINISHING her quilts! Thank you Angela for your unique inspiration.
My quilty is my friend Bev. She is so excited to learn, needs a lot of help but love working with her. She is a perfectionist, but will do anything for anyone.
Gitte is my quiltsy! She got me on to your first seasons of The Midnight Quilter. She is awesome at putting colours together even though she will not believe in her own abilities. I love her dearly! 💖 She is also the Godmother of my daughter so we have many things to thank her for 💕
My mom is my Quiltsie. She instillled a love for sewing and quilting in me as far back as I can remember. She lives on the street behind ours, so our back yards are "seamless". She fully supports every new adventure that I want to try...like recently teaching myself to FMQ on a domestic. She is always ready to shop hop, Row by Row, open her home for several friends to have a "mock retreat", or just talk sewing/quilting. Despite having my own exhaustive stash, she allows me to "shop" in her stash. We love sewing together, teaching sewing and quilting together, attending classes together, and sharing the final products with others. LOL. I just wanted to share with you that while I did not fail home-ec, it was my only C ever in High School! Because, I knew too many shortcuts....and was resistant to "making things harder than they needed to be". I did get an A on my final production - a beautiful summer dress. I fell in love with cross-stitching and quilting....but I am sure that I was as "obstinate" as my aunt labelled me at that time in life. I was a "rule follower" and never in trouble....but some things you need to take a stand on.
My Quilts Buddy is Debbie. She is always there for me and we get excited together when we finish a project.
My Quiltsie is my daughter. For years she showed no interest in sewing or making quilts but WOW, now she is a regular quilt making diva! We encourage each other to expand and improve our craft, it's a love we share.
I have a BFF who is my best quilt buddy as well! Shelbie and I both love to garden, cook, travel and drink wine ;). She is just beginning her quilt journey and this would be an amazing gift for her!
My quilty is my mom who got going to quilt shows at age 35. I'm now 60 and can't imagine not quilting everyday. My is 80 and still quilting. I have the dream macchine 2 and my mom has a babylock accord and a brother embroidery only that she also uses for edge to edge quilting. We're both making tons of masks. I would live to surprise her with quilt love wall hanging. I live in Idaho and mumsy lives in wisconson. Both parents are 80 and still live in the home I grew up in. We love your tutorials and learn tons from the free motion classes. You are doing a great job and we were very excited to see you on midnight quilter.
My mom is my quiltsie. She always encourages me to try new things and she loves my quilts ❤️
I have my aunt and my daughter. My aunt loves to check out my works in progress and help with color choices. My daughter also loves to help me pick out the colors and watch me work. I can't wait until she's ready to make her first quilt with me.
My quiltzy is my 82 year old mom. She taught me to sew when I was 7 by doing string quilts. . She has made beautiful quilts and taught me so much. Purchased my first quilt pattern and material for me years ago. She is back to string quilts on her own since she is having challenges with memory but she can make anything when we are working as a team.
My Quiltsy would have to be Shelly. We were friends before either one of us knew that the other was a quilter. Then I married her dad and acquired a sewing room in the bargain. Now we share color ideas, design ideas, The perfect Little piece of fabric needed to accomplish a design idea, successes and challenges related to our quilting. And I have had the privilege of having my friend become my daughter❣️
My mom is my quiltsie:)!! She taught me piecing and appliqué. Now I have a long arm, and I do all her quilting!!! Because she has been quilting for over 30 years, she has a great fabric stash that I get to “ shop” at when I need that one special piece!! Love my quiltsie!!❤️❤️
I moved to Australia 8 years ago from USA. That’s when I began quilting. My sister had been trying to get me hooked for years, but I didn’t get the bug until I moved. Now we quilt “together” all the time. When I go home or when she comes to visit, we shop quilt shops and do projects together - in person! I love my sis and she is my Quilty!
My quilty friend drove 1 hour 45 minutes with me to a quilt shop! I love quilting so much, I opened my own store. I teach young people how to sew! It gives them a skill and a hobby during these times of stay at home situations.
Thank you Angela! For being an inspiration. Dawn Cohen: sarasota sews!
My quiltsie, is currently in hospital fighting leukemia. G has had a longarm business and been a quilter for many years. I have only known her for the past year or so as after the death of my mom; my dad introduced us and as become part of our family. They live on our property next door, so we have become close! Dad has since became a quilter as well and bought her a longarm about 3 months ago. They watched many tutorials. I have always sewn but was garment and alterations business. I did make wall hanging with my mom "sew" was introduced to quilting and have always been astonished at how colors are put together and patterns are made (some unknown patterns until blocks are placed on design wall) Now retired and meeting my new bestie quiltsie; I have completed a couple baby quilts and am loving it and all her experience. I was teaching her to use serger, etc and she was teaching me quilting techniques. I'm so thankful she came into our lives as my parents were married 57 years, I have lost my hubby of 35 years both in just the last 3 years and now she has become ill. I pray everyday she will beat this! We have lots of quilting still to do together. Thanks so much for your channel and ALL the tutorials. PS: Dad knows your name. :)
I knew who my best quilty was immediately. My kindergarten friend, professional upholster, no rules allowed, color inspirationist, quilt ribbon award winner Susan Fay!
My Quiltsy is my wonderful older sister! She started quilting right after I did so instead of her holding my hand through something, I was able to be the hand holder for once and teach her something new! She is such a beautiful soul and is the most selfless, accepting, and genuine person that I have ever met! 🥰👩🏻🤝👩🏼
My quiltsy is a good friend from work! We both work as RNs in a COVID ICU right now, and discussing our works in progress and showing each other pictures of what we’re working on outside of work has really helped keep our sanity! She also always encourages me to try new methods and patterns, it’s so fun having an amazing quiltsy! 🥰
My special quiltsy is my daughter. Our family are all in the medical field and our time together is always special. We both love to quilt and try new patterns and have a show and tell together and share what we have completed. Great times together!!
