Hello Peanut Gallery! This is the quilt I made for my mother's 94th birthday. This is a rag quilt that is quilt as you go one row at a time. It ended up being a very quick quilt to make! I would totally make this one again and again! I hope you enjoy! xoxo
Darlene Michaud Hello Darlene, have just found you on u-tube as I was flicking through for quilting tips. Love your approach to the whole thing ( as when things don't go according to plan!), love all your tips, wish we had a Walmart in England as stuff sounds so reasonably cheap, I.e. the handle on your ruler, great idea I cannot wait to see more of your quilting work shops, Kindest regards, Barbie Jobling❤️
This gave me almost as much joy to watch as I'm sure it did for you to make something so special for your mom's 94th birthday...what a blessing! Also want to say you may have missed your calling to be a comedienne...you are so funny and it's real treat to watch and listen to you.
Darlene! I love you! You are funny and very witty! Thank you for always making me laugh! My best friend and I love to watch your videos together. You always brighten up our day! We are also learning to quilt, thanks to you! Thank you for all the wonderful videos!
Hi Darlene, I totally love what you did for your Mum and that you could integrate really everything she asked for. So, please say Happy Birthday to your Mummy and my greetings from Germany. I'm so happy you could do this for your mother, because unfortunately I can't do it for mine anymore as he already passed away. That's why I see the endless love between a Mum and a daughter in this project.
I’m in Baltimore Maryland. I watched on November 7, 2024. I’m just learning how to quilt and I just love this quilt that you made. Thank you for sharing this special quilt
Hi Darlene! I have been up all night engrossed in your tutorials. I love your style, your down to earthiness, your transparency and your wittyness. I'd love to come sew with you! Thanks for the sewing videos. You make it look so easy and un-stressful. I had a friend who I would sew with. We made all sorts of things. I would come up with the ideas and she would figure out how to implement them. I was devastated when she told me she is moving back east to Massachusetts. She is leaving in two weeks. We both currently live in central California. I thought who's going to be the brains now? You are my new brains! Now I just need to clean out my sewing room so I have room to sew and embroider. Love the quilt as you go method. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for giving me some inspiration and motivation. God bless!
No clue why anyone would move back to where there are winters! LOL I hope you are able to keep in touch and still encourage each other to sew together even if miles apart!
Donna Simpson + Donna Simpson Sorry to hear your friend is moving away. So many options to keep in touch these days even face to face tech wise. You'll still have loads of great ideas rolling around in your head and she can still come up with ways to pull those ideas together.. don't give up! You both can still have loads of Fun together, just long distance now. :O) Plus you've got Darlene's videos! Please don't give up the idea that things won't still be loads of fun with your friendship/creativity buddy in MA to help you create! Think of all the wonderful things that can be made! :O) Life will just be a bit different is all. Guess I wrote this because I felt sad she was leaving and I felt your sadness. Plus I wish I had a friend to create with again. :) xo's
I'm so sorry you had mistakes but that is such a relief for so many of us who make a bazzillion mistakes all the time LOL I'm a big "intersection" violater. ; )) The lace is amazing and sandwiching it together is a beautiful touch! I love listening to you Darlene. Happy Birthday to your Mother! She is going to love it. You're a good daughter.
What a cheery happy looking quilt! I had no idea some people don't like the honeycomb shape. Learn something new every day. I hope your mom has a nice 94th Birthday!
Hi I'm so pleased to find your videos they are great I make lots of mistakes and then spend more time undoing them.i am going to start sewing again because of your videos thankyou so much.happy birthday to your mum.from Mikki uk
Hi Darlene I always have a GREAT time watching your videos and I learn so much! Great job on your Moms quilt...very loving that you put so much thought to make it something she will love and use! Thank you for sharing...you're the best!
I liked your tutorial this would make a nice Quillow for a little girl. I never thought to add lace to a quilt. I also like Mardens for fabric and lace.
Thank you so much for your tutorials. You make me feel really good when you speak about not making mountains out of mole hills when things are not perfect. It can be very self defeating tying to do it perfect. You Rock!!
I must say, It is so nice to finally come across another person who's sewing style is like mine. Care free and fun. I hate sewing if I have to worry about corners lining up and seam perfection. I just cut and sew as I go. That makes it fun. Less fuss and way more enjoyable! Thanks for the video.
Your mother is a lucky woman and you are a wonderful lady. Thanks so much for sharing this video. Helpful and entertaining at the same time. God bless you. :)
I love this quilt. It’s beautiful. I’m making my first quilt out my fabric scraps. My daughter was over and suggested ii make one side with the darker colors and one side with the lighter colors. I’m doing that and love it. I call it the spring/summer side and fall winter side. The theme reminds me of yours. Thank you for posting. I love your quilts.
Alicia Bell.... I agree. Darlene is just so fun. Darlene, I love that quilt, happy belated birthday to your mom. There's a huge quilting crowd that would love your videos. I can see your channel growing by leaps and bounds if you tap into the multitude of quilters out there. I subscribed today and have been binge watching your videos.
Darlene--love the fact that you ADMIT when you ''mess up''. I too have made your ''errors'', so frustrating but good to know I am not alone! You make quilting fun--love your videos!
Hi Darlene. I love your videos. I have had many years of experience in sewing, but not quilting. And, you make it look sew(pun) easy. And, you have so many wonderful techniques and tips to share. Please, keep doing what you're doing. And, I will let you know how my work turns out after I use your advice to make my FIRST as-you-go quilts. Plus, you have a great personality. You make it sewing quilts, not only look easy, but fun. Thanks for sharing. Please don't stop sewing.
I just love your personality. It reminds me of me and the way I Quilt. I'm an on the fly kinda gal. And loved how you did this quilt. I'll be watching for more! Thanks. BTW hug your Mom ... I lost my mom and best friend in 2011 and miss her so much. 💜
What a beautiful job. Love the colors and the lace idea. I bet your mom will love it. Love how the lace is going in opposite directions of one another. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I absolutely think you are amazing. Your quilt is beautiful and I love how you make me feel comfortable and happy watching you, as a lay person in sewing. Oh, and Happy Birthday wishes for your momma.
The afghan under the quilt looks like it matches. I'm definitely going to be watching this again when I get material to make my own. I've never seen a rag quilt before.
I love this quilt too. I'm getting excited! I have only made one many years ago and thought I would never make another. I saw another video of yours and now this one. Wow, I can do this! I like simple!
Wow! I love all your videos but this one I think by far is the best. You make everything look very easy. Thanks for showing when things don't quite go right.
Hi Darlene!! I love the quilt as you go. Believe it or not I have done many queen quilts on my machine and yes it is next to impossible. LOL I am so glad I found you on here. You kind of sound like me, talking to myself as I go. You are a GREAT and fun teacher
I have been binge watching your channel and I love this quilt. I have been sewing for years ( a lot of years) and I have only made clothes,but you have made me decide to try a quilt.
That is very pretty Darlene, reminds me of Easter colors. You are just so fast and have so much persistence. Thank you for finishing a quilt! I'm sure your mother loves it. Quilts are just so special in that way. You should begin a tip or donation paypal link to help pay for some more supplies. Ya know we can never have enough creative supplies!
I really enjoyed your video and I really was happy at how relaxed you were in putting it together. I'm a new quilter and get so nervous when my 'stitch in the ditch' doesn't work like it should and I spend so much time ripping out. You showed me how to enjoy what I'm doing instead of stressing! Thank you!! :)
Super chic quilt, almost without half trying. Or at least it looked like it came to you so easy. Love your use of the poly batting and the look you achieve with it. Now I'm on a big hunt for some inexpensive lace............. Thanks again.
hi I think your mom will love it. I haven't been to Mardens in years .my daughter used to take piano lessons when she was young from the owners daughter Martha and shopping at the store was always a treat .when l go to Maine in July I hope to shop always great deals love the colors for both side .
Hi, Darlene. I loved the way this quilt turned out. The lace really added something special, and I also like the idea of sewing it around for a binding. You really have some good ideas, and very good in structions. I like the way you just "go with it." You're very inspirational, and that's a great thing.
Darlene. Thanks some useful tips there. I like how you admit your mistakes :). As a novice quilter it's encouraging to know that we don't always do things right first time.
You are an amazing woman!!! Love the tutorial. God bless you and your mom. Keep the quilts coming!!! A very beautiful quilt. My mom made quilts for all 5 of her daughters. All 5 son in laws, and all 13 grandchildren. What a feat!. Again, thanks so much.🤩
Hi I love the quilt and the finishing off part with the lace on each side .thank you so much for sharing ,I think that I learnt a few new thing .Happy birthday to your mum.
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I loved the addition of lace! It felt so good to watch an experienced quilter run into issues. I have an ongoing relationship with my seam ripper, it's always right by my side!! I loved listening to you, you sound like a New Englander, I'm from Maine and felt comforted by your accent. I hope your mom loved the quilt! Take care!
I love the way it came out and you gave me an idea to take my stash ( which i am trying to use up before buying anymore fabric) and make some twin size quilts for the grandkids! You have a great sense of humor as well!! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Darlene. I absolutely love the quilt you made for your mom's birthday this year! When you started it, I didn't think it was going to look like much of anything. But, OMG!! You did such a wonderful job on it. It was so feminine. It is such a beautiful piece of work!! Amazing!! You are a blessing to your mother. God bless you.
This is a beautiful quilt and you have me all excited about quilting. I haven’t sewed in a while but you have inspired me. I love how you think on the go, so to speak. You take the stress out of quilting. You do what looks good , you are so creative. I have a story I’d like to share with you sometime. Thank you for your videos.
I ran across this looking for QAYG videos and I subbed because I love how down to earth you are. I was wary at first because of the lace but, the quilt looks great 👍and I'm glad your mom loves it.
I found this so easy to follow as well as so entertaining! I am working on my first quilt, but have already sewn the top blocks (different sizes) and bottom row. I think I'm beyond quilt as you go, but I will sure use this method on my next one. Thank you for sharing. I am sure your mom loved it!
I wish we had a Mardens Store! They have beautiful fabric. I'm like your Mom in that I like homemade gifts. Lots of love go into homemade gifts! Hope your Mother has a nice birthday.
Seeing you making some of the same mistakes I make eases my mind for some reason. Im not as hard on myself for it. This quilt is absolutely gorgeous and in my favorite colors!!
I love your videos, you are great and I have always pulled my self down when sewing even tho people my work but I have no conference as most videos on here show pure perfection, you keep things real which I find so good. Thank you.
hi darlene. i love your videos. i always learn so much. your voice is so relaxing and calm. when i get stressed i just go watch one of your videos! you are awesome and so real!
You're the Dolly Parton of quilting , love the energy and cool personality . I'm still amazed by how neat your quilting it as you probably can't see half of the working surface ;) ! I'm definitely subscribing just because i love your energy and positive attitude , looking forward to your next videos Darlene Parton .
I love how this came out, love the lace. I wasn't sure at first about the backing being fall, I love the idea but I was thinking of those colors as sashing on the spring side and couldn't make it work in my mind. It's gorgeous and she has two quilts. Good job, Darlene, it really looks nice.
Love your approach Darlene - I sew by instinct too. I actually loved the back of this quilt - not into lace myself but thought the front would be lovely for a little girl too, it must appeal to the little girl in your mother. I thought the back was wonderful, and would be perfect with more rows of quilting ... oh dear, I am redesigning your quilt. All the best from Australia.
Just found you on TH-cam. I've been quilting for 50 years and never thought to put lace around a quilt. It looks great and so feminine. Thanks for the video Darlene. I subscribed so hopefully I can keep up with you.
Where have you been all my quilting life? You are truly a quilter after my own heart. I love that you "run to Walmart", just like me. I am now following you. (That sounds a little creepy, but you know what I mean lol.)
Great teacher with a really fun personality! You are so fun to hang out with! You explain everything SO well and I love your attitude. I tend to be a perfectionist. I much prefer your style! You are what I am trying to become!
What a lovely gift and what a lovely daughter! I am so adding this video to my saved videos. I cannot wait to attempt a quilt as you go. You give such great tutorials!! Thankyou for sharing😊
Hi darlene I just love the quilt that you made your mother it is really beautiful and you make it look so easy I have done a couple quilts myself mostly Crosstitch or just plain crazy quilt blocks. I really enjoyed your videos
Hi Darlene I'm so glad I found you,you are amazing I loving listening to talk about the projects that you work on who cares about the mistakes it came out good wow thanks for posting
Happy belated birthday to your mother! You do so much for her. Loved the quilt. The back Fall side would be cute for a quilt with bees on it. too. I have been taking quilting lessons and I am sure my teacher would have a fit about some of your methods, but I think you are an original creative designer and you got the job done! One thing about the batting though, is it may work it's way through the material side and look like it's growing a beard after a while. 😁 But it was OK to see how you dealt with the mistakes, because I learned from you. I have ripped open seams over & over again myself & thought I was the only one! 😁 Thank you for your videos, you are a friend and helper to me whether you know it or not. I also watched your video about loving buttons, & I love them too & I buy them, then don't want to use them to give away 😁!
Hello Peanut Gallery! This is the quilt I made for my mother's 94th birthday. This is a rag quilt that is quilt as you go one row at a time. It ended up being a very quick quilt to make! I would totally make this one again and again! I hope you enjoy! xoxo

Darlene Michaud what material would you suggest to use for quilts if you can't get cotton?
I've seen lovely quilts made from wool and also linen. Any fabric that can be washed and that will hold up well with use.
How did you to the corners?
Darlene! I love you! You are funny and very witty! Thank you for always making me laugh! My best friend and I love to watch your videos together. You always brighten up our day! We are also learning to quilt, thanks to you! Thank you for all the wonderful videos!

Wow! I love all your videos but this one I think by far is the best. You make everything look very easy. Thanks for showing when things don't quite go right.

I just love listening to you. Laughing at your "screw ups" and bargain finds. So down to earth.
I have been binge watching your channel and I love this quilt. I have been sewing for years ( a lot of years) and I have only made clothes,but you have made me decide to try a quilt.
Beautiful Darlene just beautiful. Happy Birthday to your mom. 💕
That is very pretty Darlene, reminds me of Easter colors. You are just so fast and have so much persistence. Thank you for finishing a quilt! I'm sure your mother loves it. Quilts are just so special in that way. You should begin a tip or donation paypal link to help pay for some more supplies. Ya know we can never have enough creative supplies!
the top reminds me of a wedding album. very lovely quilt, and i love your attitude towards what might not be "perfect"
I really enjoyed your video and I really was happy at how relaxed you were in putting it together. I'm a new quilter and get so nervous when my 'stitch in the ditch' doesn't work like it should and I spend so much time ripping out. You showed me how to enjoy what I'm doing instead of stressing! Thank you!! :)
Super chic quilt, almost without half trying. Or at least it looked like it came to you so easy. Love your use of the poly batting and the look you achieve with it. Now I'm on a big hunt for some inexpensive lace............. Thanks again.
hi I think your mom will love it. I haven't been to Mardens in years .my daughter used to take piano lessons when she was young from the owners daughter Martha and shopping at the store was always a treat .when l go to Maine in July I hope to shop always great deals love the colors for both side .
Still come back to this video several years later for inspiration. Really nice and thoughtful project.
Hi, Darlene. I loved the way this quilt turned out. The lace really added something special, and I also like the idea of sewing it around for a binding. You really have some good ideas, and very good in structions. I like the way you just "go with it." You're very inspirational, and that's a great thing.
Darlene. Thanks some useful tips there. I like how you admit your mistakes :). As a novice quilter it's encouraging to know that we don't always do things right first time.
Very Nice! Happy Birthday mom!!!
You are an amazing woman!!! Love the tutorial. God bless you and your mom. Keep the quilts coming!!! A very beautiful quilt. My mom made quilts for all 5 of her daughters. All 5 son in laws, and all 13 grandchildren. What a feat!. Again, thanks so much.🤩

I just found you. I must say, I love the fall colors. Lovely quilt.
Turned out beautiful and I'm sure your mother will love it 😍
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I loved the addition of lace! It felt so good to watch an experienced quilter run into issues. I have an ongoing relationship with my seam ripper, it's always right by my side!! I loved listening to you, you sound like a New Englander, I'm from Maine and felt comforted by your accent. I hope your mom loved the quilt! Take care!
I love the way it came out and you gave me an idea to take my stash ( which i am trying to use up before buying anymore fabric) and make some twin size quilts for the grandkids! You have a great sense of humor as well!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great tutorial. It give me hope that I can accomplish making my grand children quilts.
I have to say I'm new at quilting and your videos are awesome. Very well explained and you have the personality for teaching. Can't wait to try QAYG

You take the stress out of quilting. You do what looks good , you are so creative. I have a story I’d like to share with you sometime. Thank you for your videos.
Very nice quilt :) The lace was a pretty touch. Happy Birthday Mom!
I ran across this looking for QAYG videos and I subbed because I love how down to earth you are. I was wary at first because of the lace but, the quilt looks great 👍and I'm glad your mom loves it.

I freaking love it!! Both sides are awesome, love the colors and designs. Lucky mom and she got the lace she wanted. Yay!! 👍🏻😀👏🏻
That was an awesome quilt I love that idea for a quilt..... I'm glad she loved it ❤️ that was so fast and so gorgeous ❤️

I enjoyed your video and really loved the way your quilt turned out. The fabrics look so lovely together and the lace really adds a sweet touch.
I love how this came out, love the lace. I wasn't sure at first about the backing being fall, I love the idea but I was thinking of those colors as sashing on the spring side and couldn't make it work in my mind. It's gorgeous and she has two quilts.
Good job, Darlene, it really looks nice.
It's really nice that you made your mother happy! You are a wonderful person.
Wow, that turned out so cute!! The lace really adds a lot to it.
OH MY DAMN!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the back fall colors! I'd use them all the time!!!
I love the colors and patterns. Beautiful work Darlene.
Wow I love you. Thank you for pointing out the mistakes that are very frustrating to a new quilter like me
It's beautiful!!!!!!! love the way you put the lace on!!!
I came across your channel by accident, I love your personality and love your tutorials. From Australia
Love your approach Darlene - I sew by instinct too. I actually loved the back of this quilt - not into lace myself but thought the front would be lovely for a little girl too, it must appeal to the little girl in your mother. I thought the back was wonderful, and would be perfect with more rows of quilting ... oh dear, I am redesigning your quilt. All the best from Australia.
Just found you on TH-cam. I've been quilting for 50 years and never thought to put lace around a quilt. It looks great and so feminine. Thanks for the video Darlene. I subscribed so hopefully I can keep up with you.
Where have you been all my quilting life? You are truly a quilter after my own heart. I love that you "run to Walmart", just like me. I am now following you. (That sounds a little creepy, but you know what I mean lol.)
I love the colors you chose and your quilt is so pretty.
Darlene, girl....you are truly creative! I would have never thought of lace to top off a quilt. This is a genius move. Darlene, you are my new BFF. 😍
Wow! Beautiful quilt. You are awesome. Thank you for sharing .
Great teacher with a really fun personality! You are so fun to hang out with! You explain everything SO well and I love your attitude. I tend to be a perfectionist. I much prefer your style! You are what I am trying to become!
very nice love the colours and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your mum from Sydney Australia...:)

Hi darlene I just love the quilt that you made your mother it is really beautiful and you make it look so easy I have done a couple quilts myself mostly Crosstitch or just plain crazy quilt blocks. I really enjoyed your videos
Absolutely love it and enjoy your tutorials. So easy to follow
Beautiful quilt Darlene! I'm going to give this a try! My Granddaughters will love the lace. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hi Darlene I'm so glad I found you,you are amazing I loving listening to talk about the projects that you work on who cares about the mistakes it came out good wow thanks for posting
Happy belated birthday to your mother! You do so much for her. Loved the quilt. The back Fall side would be cute for a quilt with bees on it. too. I have been taking quilting lessons and I am sure my teacher would have a fit about some of your methods, but I think you are an original creative designer and you got the job done! One thing about the batting though, is it may work it's way through the material side and look like it's growing a beard after a while. 😁 But it was OK to see how you dealt with the mistakes, because I learned from you. I have ripped open seams over & over again myself & thought I was the only one! 😁 Thank you for your videos, you are a friend and helper to me whether you know it or not. I also watched your video about loving buttons, & I love them too & I buy them, then don't want to use them to give away 😁!
