Every time you reference your PTSD in any small way I think of how much we ALL owe you , and all those who served and are serving. Thanks to you, and millions of other servicemen and servicewomen, I can go in my sewing room, look out in my backyard, and be thankful to live in the United States. I'm so glad that you found quilting.....you are so creative! Marine?Artist?Marine?Artist? Who says these two diverse lifestyles can't coexist? Not you! You're the best! Thanks for sharing so much to so many of us.
I don't care what shirt you wear. I just want you to be safe, healthy, happy, and making beautiful quilts (when you have time). I love that beautiful Nine Patch Quilt top. I know I can do something like that. Nine Patch is an easy block to make. Your on point Nine Patch is a stunner. Thank you for this wonderful idea.
Had a friend who also had requirements when we would go out to dinner couldn’t be seated near the kitchen, no tables behind him, and had to able to see the exits. No one who has ever been in the service should ever have to explain why they need to sit in certain places!!! Keep quilting as it’s obviously your happy zone and we all need a happy zone.
Glad I found your channel. I have 2 sons that served in the military. One son was an Army Ranger and then Delta Force operative. He has a TBI and received a Purple Heart, You know I love and support our Veterans! I just got back into quilting and so happy you have found quilting to support your mental health and well being!
I love your quilt project! It is beautiful! I have learned from going on retreats, that it isn’t about the project… it is all about being with the other quilter’s.
When we all go to our first anything we feel like a fish out of water. I'm so happy that the guys around you stepped up and made you feel comfortable. Love the "go to" Nine Patch and then you set it on point! the Ankara fabric just made you piece fabulous! Thanks for sharing!
A couples retreat would be amazing! My husband says he wants to learn to quilt with me and I am all in. I know we will have so much fun together. Let me know if you ever have a couples retreat please.
Allstars Rock! I had a blast meeting you Mark and just as always have fun when you go on retreats! It's the fellowship that means the most at these events not what gets accomplished there...
I am always astonished with the end result of your fabric and pattern choices. They are not anything I would pick, but when I see the end product I think, dang! I should make that! Good job with the project you worked on at your guys retreat! I'm proud of you!!! Thanks for making videos and making yourself vulnerable for everyone to see.
You really love those bright colors! I do too, I absolutely love the hot pink and black together and the fabric that you chose compliments it perfectly. I'm so glad you had a good time at the men's quilt retreat... And, you're not alone with this I'm never sitting with my back to a door either. God bless! You're so talented.
Only you could pull all of that together and make it look so good! You’ve got a great eye even when you’re just winging it 😁 love your channel and I always look forward to what you’re working on!
❤ as always, I enjoy your channel. The colors to your retreat quilt top/flimsy came out great, love the contrast. I so love me some hot pink! Looking forward to your next videos.
I love your project and I want you to know that not everyone can be productive at a quilt retreat. I hardly get anything done while I'm at one. I love them - they are great to get to know the community and to get sparks of creativity. And they are good for my soul. But it's almost like I'm dazzled by all the activity going on around me. Too many squirrels for my ADHD, so-to-speak. So I hope you - or anyone else never feels like a failure for not getting 'enough' done at a retreat.
wow my first two retreats with the girls l made 4 patches and then decide l had a PHD. in seam ripping.the girls were great l ripped for everone and.finally calmed down.and laughed all the time it was wonderful . Third one l finnaly made a whole quilt yea.!!!!
I am working on altered nine patch for a project at South Plains Quilt guild! Hoping to have it in the display at the Lubbock Garden and Art Center in November, many hours of work ahead! Love seeing you today! 👍😃
I would have never imagined that print with the hot pink and black but they play beautiful together!! Great job. Just an observation, but I think the lower left block of your center panel should be turned 90° so it sits on-point.
Yes you have the gift. my oldest sister does also.Lives out side off houston. so i got to vist and go where? sis was only intrested in dresses. sh e is a artist so after 10 years. l hollered just grab that longarm and draw this and this. she now quilts hehehe. knew she could too.
Good to see you on here again! Your quilt is gorgeous! You did a fabulous job putting it together. I have never been to a retreat before, it’s on my bucket list. I know I would feel some anxiety myself. Keep up the wonderful work. It is beautiful to see you exploring and experiencing new things. ❤
I just stumbled onto your channel recently. I love it. Also I find it hilarious that you have crayons in the background. I guess thats in case you need a snack lol? Your quilts are gorgeous.

So refreshing to see a man doing quilting.

If that is what you just came up with, you have a hidden talent. Creativity! Beautiful quilt.
That quilt is a testament to your skill and talent-lovely❤❤
Thank you for reminding me it is about the journey, not necessarily the quilt. Thank you for that.
My pastor was a paratrooper and doesn't sit with his back to a door either, so I understand...very proud of you for pushing on at the retreat.
This quilt is gorgeous, I love how the Ankara fabric made your nine patches “pop”❣️
Absolutely stunning - your experience was motivation to challenge one's self!
I love your quilt project! It is beautiful! I have learned from going on retreats, that it isn’t about the project… it is all about being with the other quilter’s.

Love how the colors in your quilt pop! Way to make the large print fabric shine.
Wow, that is some beautiful knockout pattern and color. Love it!
Good and plenty candy. Yum. Pink & black……thanks. Jump in to colors….waving to you from Michigan
The first time for anything new is daunting, next time you know what to expect.

❤ as always, I enjoy your channel. The colors to your retreat quilt top/flimsy came out great, love the contrast. I so love me some hot pink! Looking forward to your next videos.
That is a gorgeous quilt top! I love the way you use color. Completely beyond my ability to mix and match like that, but so cool to see.
It's wonderful! A great idea -- I've got so much fabric (neatly stored and categorized) and this is a great way to use bold prints!
My goodness I don’t have that vision! The colors and fabric work!
Love the quilt you created on the fly great job. 🎉

Great job! I wouldn't have any idea what to do with that focus fabric. You created a wonderful quilt.
Thank you Mark and Yvvone. I can’t sit in the middle has to be the outside. Gotta have an exit strategy. Blessings.
Wow! 😎That looks great. I know I wouldn't have been able to come up with anything. My mind doesn't work like that. Great work! 🤗
