I just found Melanie, now that I am learning to quilt, and I was thoroughly enjoying her videos. She put, not only talent, but so much sincere helpfulness in them! I was so saddened to discover that she has left us. It hit me hard, as someone who was diagnosed just a year and a half ago. I can't imagine how hard it was for all of you. I know she is with our Lord and Savior. I pray for peace and comfort and the joy of good memories.
My favorite thing about quilting is being able to take a bunch of fabric that may not look like it goes together in the beginning, but in the end, it creates a beautiful quilt! I still have a lot to learn, too!
What I love about quilting is that there really are no rules. I can pick whatever fabrics speak to me and make whatever pattern I want. I love that I can be as creative as I want. I really hope how to bind a quilt better. This is something I struggle with and also maybe a trick on how to free motion quilt a little easier.
I'm super new to quilting and need a stress releaser. I'm a nearly retired hospital nurse. I love the way you teach.
I love Quilting because I love the idea of making something that can stand the test of time and be passed down from one generation to the next. I made a quilt for my grandmother and after she died it was given to my youngest daughter. We write messages of love on the back. It is beautiful! I cant wait to get started on this quilt!
My favorite part of quilting is completing a quilt and knowing I created something that pretty.
Recently I noticed that when I'm sewing and quilting the whole world stops. It is fun to be creative! Plain and simple.
I love quilting because you can make something beautiful that will last a long time.. And it's also a great gift to give someone ... Good luck everyone
Beautiful Melanie xxx RIP xxx Thank you for still allowing us to learn from Melanie, she’s an amazing teacher and her tutorials are amazing. Thank you xx I feel proud to make one of her creations, sending love to you all. Xx
I have been dying to make a quilt for over a decade. Spent a college summer working in Fabrics and Crafts at Walmart and even bought fabric to make one. A decade ago. Clearly, it hasn't happenex. My favorite thing, that I am looking forward to with this series is, I don't think I'll feel overwhelmed! I watched the first video and I think with the way it's broken down, I can actually do this!!!
Oh my word! That quilt is amazing! I have never made a quilt but have wanted to for a while now. I would love to learn how to quilt so my kids have something special from me that they don't "outgrow"
I'm just beginning to start to quilt..... I do sew, but have been wanted to quilt always. I,m excited to watch your series, and learn more!! Ty for doing this. I live in a small town, no craft classes or sewing classes here! 😂, I learn what I can from TH-cam,
I love quilting because every piece is a unique piece of art made with love!
What a love about quilting is that it is an artform and you can create whatever you want with it.
I am so excited to learn how to start quilting. I have watched all your video's and even made a couple of your crochet projects. I want to be able to use some old shirts and old fabrics that I have been saving for years and make memory quilts. I have a couple friends who had cancer and went through chemo and wore bandanas who want quilts made. I want to be able to help them keep their memories. I cannot wait to learn more tips and tricks from you!
I am just a beginner on quilting, what I love about it is that it is personal it's made with love and they are so beautiful I also love that it reminds me of the old times when people where so wonderful to each other, how neighbors were like family I just love that, thank you for your time.
I am a disabled vet that took up sewing after my third surgery about a year ago. I am now interested in quilting. I have seen some beautiful quilts and I really want to try to make one. I fell in love with sewing and I know the same will happen with making quilts. Your sewing videos helped me a lot and this quilting video just follows in that same fashion.
I hope that favorite thing about quilting will be seeing my creations come to life in something that is useful and beautiful. Quilting to me will be another therapeutic tool for me to use daily. I am so excited about starting this new venture.
I have Cancer and not able to work. I have always love quilts. My grandmother made them. I never thought I could quilting. So now I figure it is a good time to learn. You explain everything so will. Your video are really easy to follow. I cant wait to get started and learn how to match my material to make quilts for my grand kids will have for along time to come. A gift made means more to me than a bought gift The gift made is made from love. Cant wait for your next video? I know I have missed your drawing for the material, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed them.
My daughter and I have never quilted before. She just showed me your video and it has inspired us to try to make our first quilt. We would like to learn to make quilts so we can give them to others in need.
Ahh Melanie! This morning my husband told me in 6th grade he was in the quilting club and that I should learn how to quilt. I check my subscription box and what do you know, you are starting a quilting series! Fabulous. I am very excited to learn so I can make quilt for my baby that she'll keep forever. I think that would be so special. I can't wait to see it all come together.
I started quilting a few years ago and put it aside. I realize that my measuring skills were not very good and that is why it was not lining up. Now I am going to attempt another with my newly learned skills from you. Thank you so much for your videos, they are great!
Melanie I am so happy I have found your videos!!! I am a new quilter and your steps have been so helpful to me. I can see where my mistakes keep happening when cutting my fabric. I have only made a couple of quilts...all to give to someone I care about. It is my way of showing how much they mean to me and how often I think of them. Quilting is such a wonderful way to show the love ; ). I also have a grand daughter who has asked me if we can make a quilt together so Amma (that's me) after that comment jumped on the quilting wagon and I am looking forward to the day she is old enough that we can make that happen.
So excited about this series! So, my mother and grandmother are no longer with me. As you can imagine then, their quilts and handmade items mean so much! When I look down at a blanket and see little wonky stitch, or a fabric from a familiar dress from a school photo (they liked to repurpose clothes into quilts) - I am reconnected with them and always will be. My hope is that I too can leave a little of me behind when I leave this world and that through my quilting and crafting, I can create special heart connections with my loved ones long after I'm gone. So grateful for this series!
My favorite part about quilting it is the construction of it. Cutting / putting all the pieces together is just so fun for me. Thank you so much, your videos are so helpful :-)
I am getting ready to begin my 2nd quilt. I have waned to make a quilt for many years and I am excited to DESIGN my first quilt. I didn't know that my great grandmother was a big quilter until just recently. So for me, quilting is about family heritage and the joy of creating a work of art for my family. I hope to learn tips and tricks so projects can be even more fun through watching your videos. Thanks for sharing with us, your loyal TH-cam subscribers.
the best
Very good instructions, I am new at this and was planning on doing a baby quilt since I am going to be a grandma shortly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tricks with us.
What I love about quilting is the chance to combine beauty with functionality -- I love making things but I prefer to make things that are useful rather than just decorative.
I also love repurposing, so I love the idea of making quilts from old t shirts, jeans, men's shirts, receiving blankets, project leftovers, etc. I just made my first quilt ever, a tummy-time quilt for my baby, and more than half the fabric was leftovers from mine and my friends' former projects, so every square of that quilt (and even the backing, which was originally for the bridesmaids' dresses from my wedding) has a story.
My favorite thing about quilting is all the endless possibilities. That's also my least favorite thing about quilting because I get so overwhelmed with the endless possibilities. That's why I love your TH-cam channel. You give great instructions and I'm looking forward to learning techniques and strategies for choosing fabrics. Thanks Melanie!
I love all the steps of quilting from picking beautiful fabric ...cutting...and piecing (thats as far as i have got so far!). I also love that it gives me a creative outlet and in the end it will give me something that can be used everyday and even be handed down generation to generation. I was diagnosed with MS 3 yrs ago and I'm disabled. Quilting has given me something I'm able to do and feel productive. It has been very theraputic with the depression I have from not being as able as I use to be. So hopefully with your series I can get the courage to move to the next step of quilting and actually finish one! Lol Plus I'd love to win that fabric it looks beautiful.
I’m new to sewing, my sister turned me on to it, I’m a man and proud to say my grandfather made beautiful quilts so I’m carrying on from him, I can’t thank you enough for your videos... I have learned SO much from you. I will be taking some of your classes. You rock and I wish you the best health. Your so sweet thanks again
Iquilting is my therapy. I lost both my parents a few years back and after the birth of my little girl and her stay in nicu i suffered from depression. I sew every night and it helps keep me sane and calm. You were one of my first you tube finds and i love your videos, keep up the hard work, x
Just got into quilting and I think I'm addicted. Really enjoyed your video you are very thorough and explain things in a very easy manner. I'm really excited to start my first quilt.
I love how you can pretty much destroy beautiful fabrics by cutting them apart, and then make something brand new, and still beautiful by sewing it back together in a whole new way! I also love that no two quilters would take the same set of fabrics, and do the exact same thing with them unless instructed to! It's a world of endless possibilities!
Oh!!! Per instructions, this is my third attempt at a first quilt. I like the idea of weaving memories into an object. I had an illness too, ya get sentimental. RIP Beautiful girl
Well first, I know I am late for the giveaway because I just found your tutorials. I want you to know that 3 days ago I finished my first quilt. It has many mistakes but I am proud of my accomplishment. I enjoyed your How to Make a Quilt Part 1 tutorials and most importantly I learned the why of my mistakes I do not know how to cut. I am 71 years young but it is never too late to learn. I will continue learning from you.
Love your videos....I am a beginner, and I mean a beginner and need all the help I can get. Love how you truly explain in plain layman terms. Thanks so much!
This is such great timing for me! I just started sewing 3 months ago, along with my young daughters, and the very first project we made was from your zippered pouch tutorial! I've made several bags and even a pair of pajama shorts since then. I've always wanted to quilt but have been very intimidated by it. I'm SO looking forward to following along with this series! Thank you!!
What I love about quilting is seeing all the hard work come together, you're seeing and seeing away then you finish and here is this labor of love right before your eyes.
Hi Melanie, I am just getting into sewing. I have always been interested in many different things, made my first vintage teddybear not too long ago.
Quilting is something I have been wanting to try, but always thought I couldn't do. Thanks to your 5 day tutorial I now have the guts to try it myself. My inspiration came from my older sister who I've always admired when I was younger, and with me getting in my late 30's I seem to enjoy sewing a lot!!!!
It keeps me calm, or calms me after a long day of work, it is my me time and for me very special. Good music and the right idea and maybe a Glas of red wine makes the perfect quilting experience.
Your channel is very instructive and you're love for sewing is noticeable in every video. Thank you for all of your ideas the hints on the best fabrics and much much more!
Keep up the great work!
A true fan from Germany 😊
I absolutely love this video. I am a stay at home single mom. My favorite thing about quilting is getting lost in an awesome pattern and just sewing away. The end result is always a huge sense of accomplishment, all the while being home with my babies! Quilting has become a huge part of my life and being able to provide for my children doing something I love is perfect. I would love to win this fabric to make a beautiful quilt for my mother who has been here for me through thick and thin! Love your videos Melanie, thanks for your dedication!
I love quilting because my favorite memories are of me sitting with my grandmother and watching her quilt. I am so excited for this series because she didn't have a chance to teach me. She did leave me some cut pieces for tops and one completed top (but not finished with back). I would love to not only be able to finish her projects that she left me but begin my own quilt! This looks like the perfect first project! Thank you for doing this series!
I love your instruction videos. There are a lot of videos that go way to slow and I loose interest, you don't go to slow just the perfect speed to follow along with. The thing I love about quilting is that you can make them with family and friends if wanting to and the smile that people have on their face when you give them a quilt knowing that it was handmade with love just for them.
Thanks for posting this series!.And a special thank you for all the detailed infomation on basic steps. Some experts don’t realize that measurements and cutting fabric is foreign to us newbies. =) I am still fairly new to quilting with two toddler sized; basic 4" square quilts under my belt. I am amazed at all the seriously detailed quilts people can make. I don't think I will ever be to that level (wedding ring, sunburst, etc) but this quilt pattern is progression that I feel confident that I can successfully complete.
The thing I love about quilting is that there is no limit to what you can create. You can be colorful, wild, classic, abstract, primitive, structured or free flowing. You can make bedding, wall hangings, book marks, table runners……the possibilities are endless. The most basic quilters to the most advanced can create something equally beautiful.
When I get to give a quilt to someone, that's my favorite part. Everyone has received getting something handmade that was created with them in mind and with love.
I hope to learn how to make quilts for myself as well as my family. My grandma really loves handmade things so i think it'd be a great gift :)
Just watched all 5 in one shot....I loved them. Loved your presentation...going to get some fabric tomorrow to start one. I CAN DO THIS!!!
I just want to learn it all! My grandma was a quilter and made all of her granddaughters quilts before she passed away. I love how they are all unique and you can just FEEL the love that went into making it. Thanks so much for making this series so I can learn how to quilt for my family now, just as my grandmother did for hers.
I have made several quilts, and I feel like I am creating a beautiful piece of art every time. Also, when you're done, you have something that you can use. It makes me happy to sit down and snuggle up with something I have made with my own two hands.
my favorite thing about quilting is seeing all the pretty fabric and what i want to learn about quilting is how to make a quilt and thank you for putting up crafty videos on TH-cam because i learned how to crochet and learned how make one of your hats 😃
My favorite thing about quilting is making something beautiful for my family to snuggle with together!
When you asked who wants to win this bundle... I literally was the ansy 3rd grader bouncing in my chair raising my hand saying "me....me...." LOL What I love most about quilting is being able to use my creativity and love of cutting up fabric and sewing it back together to make others happy!! When you give a quilt to someone... it really is giving them LOVE. Nothing is more precious than TIME... and when you give someone a quilt, you are essentially giving them your time and love wrapped in a wide array of pretty fabrics!
I do not know how to sew but always wanted to and quilting because of all the beautiful patters you can make has given me the incentive to learn, which i will do next summer (will be my holiday treat) and if things go according to plan someting i will do when i retire.
Hi Melanie, finding your tutorials have been a blessing. My Mother who recently passed was a huge quilter and I sadly didn't have her teach me before she passed. She left me 4 of her completed quilts but the ones unfinished was a beautiful Dresden Plate, a nine patch, an unfinished applique and one that only needs binding. The Dresden plate is only the flowers that have not been attached to the block (background white material) and the centers still have to be attached. Then there's nine patch and is only the material put together making the blocks. I am lost as to where to go from here. Hopefully by using your videos to make my first quilt I'll better know how to proceed. Thank you for your step by step videos. Looking forward to seeing much more from you.
I'm 63 years old grandma and I am just starting my first quilt. You are just absolutely delightful to watch and listen too. Your very good at telling your viewers that, It will be ok or don't worry about it, it will work out. You take the stress out of putting two pieces of cloth together
Best wishes to you- Nora Rossiter
I haven't quilted before, but have been inspired by my grandmother! She is an amazing quilter, and I am hoping to learn from her and gain a better relationship with her. I have always been a crafter, and love the feeling of completing a project.
I love making quilts! I love pulling all the colors together. And the actual quilting is the best part because it makes the quilt. Everyone I've made a quilt for is always in awe of the final product. I would absolutely love to make a quilt for everyone one is my very large family! But I am sticking with the new babies for now. I would love to make a twin size for my Granddaughter! Would love to make this quilt from your video. Can't wait for the next lesson. Thanks!
Hi, luvd ur video! I came across it today while searching for new ideas. you made it simple to understand, and great cutting tips. I too am new at quilting and self taught so finding an easy to follow along and understand video is like finding treasure.
I have been doing some research into quilting. You have inspired me to take on my first quilt. I love the color and creativity you put into quilting. I have dabbled in many crafts and am very excited to begin on this one! Thank you for the detailed instructions and inspiration! Quilts can be a beautiful, individualized, and sentimental gift for friends and family!
thanks for the help. It has been a long time since I have quilted and it has changed a bit when it comes to cutting squares. Way easier! Thanks for the assistance.
My favorite thing about quilting is picking the fabric and the quilt design.
Love your video. I started quilting about 5 years ago and I try to pass my love to others. I make custom quilts for my friends that are totally original. Nothing is the same and I only charge $50. to assemble and quilt. I tryly enjoy the art and look forward to seeing more from you.
My grandma taught me how to quilt after I had my first baby 16 years ago. I have never done patchwork and I'm so excited to learn and follow along with this series. Thanks so much for doing this!
I am looking forward to learning how to do each step of the quilting process through your videos. What will be so nice is that at any time I can go back and watch anything I'm not sure about or didn't quite get the first time. The fabric will be very helpful and if I am not chosen I hope someone who really needs the fabric is. Thank you for all you do. Happy quilting.
I am in Louisiana. Not totally new to sewing , but new to my new machine and quilting. Such useful videos. I have never been a great measurer.
I've been wanting to learn to quilt for a while now. I was just beginning to look for how-to's when I found you. I'm thrilled and excited to begin this renewed crafting adventure in my life. I used to crochet, craft, sew before life with 3 boys and work consumed most of my time. I would love to win this give away to kick start my process, but seriously if I don't, I've still won by finding your videos. This week I am pulling out the sewing machine and making the pillow cover. It's a great project to get my hands back in action! Thank you!!
Love this quilt and fabric!! I Love so much about quilting...I LOVE playing with all the beautiful fabrics of course. I love being creative and creating beautiful gifts for the people I love. Quilting just makes me happy! I love learning and this is a craft that has no limits! Love your channel. I've learned a lot from you. XOXO, Govinda Jaya :-)
I have always had a passion for quilting. I love all the beautiful quilts and have always wanted to learn how to make quilts for my loved ones. My kids are older now and I just got my first sewing machine for Christmas 2014. I am currently working on my first quilt.
What I love about quilting is that you can have a bunch of people make the same quilt but they all still look so different. The possibilities are endless in quilting!
I'm not the greatest cutter so I love this video and all your tips!
Thanks! :)
I have just begun my quilting adventure recently...My younger sister, Sam, started quilting about 2 years ago and this is something that has helped us form an even greater bond than we already had. We Skype almost every night and shared our quilting and machine embroidery. I am thankful for this opportunity that the art of quilting has created!
So much great info for beginners. Thank you so much for the cutting tutorial, especially the info to include the line in your cut... I ALWAYS wonder about that.
I love quilting because it's what got me through high school. I really struggled and my school offered a half year course. I took it almost every semester, and my teacher was amazing. She made a lasting impression on my life. I've been quilting for 11 years, and I always learn something new.. I even like to seam rip! I've only ever tied my quilts so im hoping to learn how to hand or machine quilt!!
Hi Melanie, I'm learning how to sew via TH-cam/your channel after inheriting my mother's sewing machine. She was an avid quilter and my goal is to learn how to do what brought my mom such joy....QUILTING! She made my kids quilts- which are near and dear to them. I hope to learn enough quilting techniques so I too can make my kids a special quilt. My goal quilt is a T-Shirt quilt.
Thanks for all your help!
I would absolutely love to learn how to quilt. I love to crochet, but there's something about quilting that just catches my interest. I have watched all your quilting and fabric videos. They are all very helpful!
I am so glad you are making this series, thank you. I love taking fabric (yardage) and turning into something useful. I also love when people appreciate the talent and skill that you have pit into your work.
I'm so glad that you are starting this series! I've made four quilts and they are all quilt-as-you-go strip quilts so I'm excited to learn about making a different kind of quilt and expanding my knowledge. Quilting is also my favorite craft because my grandma has taught me everything I know (she's 93) and it's something I can give to people as a heartfelt gift when I'm done with a project! ~Siri
Quilting is such a stress reliever. Its a way to escape. Love your videos!
I call quilting my 'yoga'! I recently started and was able to complete 3 patchwork type quilts for my sons. I wanted to make something that could 'hold' them, when they don't want me to anymore! lol:). However, I am still very new to the game, and learn new things all the time. Thank you for this quilt series!
I just started quilting. I've sewn forever ... just never quilted. Your video really was helpful. No one has really shown me how to use the rulers and mats. So watching you made sense and now I'm not afraid to do some cutting. I can't wait for video 2 and 3 and ......
Melanie . . . So funny . . . I used to quilt and have been thinking of starting again! My daughter is getting married and I'd love to make them a quilt as a wedding gift . . . . Thanks for always inspiring me! XO
My favorite part of quilting is recreating quilt blocks that my great grandmother hand sewed on her quilts.
I am actually a teenage male. Quilting seems like an intriguing hobby that can be challenging, yet enjoyable. I don't currently quilt but I have been sewing for a while. I belive the most interesting part of making a quilt will be the uniqueness that one can put into his or her own project. One can put his or her heart, mind, attitude, and emotion into a quilt. Quilting, to me, seems like a great pass time to do on my sewing machine. Quilting could also teach me a lot more about fabric and cutting and give me more experience. I hope to be a great quilter someday and make ornate and difficult projects that can be admired and seen as my big break.
I love and appreciate your videos they were a major part of my current successes. Thanks again for the opportunity.
Hi Melanie,
I am a new quilter working on my 2nd quilt and I'm already hooked! I love the way you explain everything in detail. So far, what I love the most about quilting is selecting and coordinating all the fabrics! Sewing is so therapeutic! Looking forward to next video!
I'd love to start quilting. I think making your own things is super neat and quilting is one thing I've always wanted to learn. I look forward to quilting stars and making some really beautiful quilts! Sewing is such a rewarding hobby. It's challenging and frustrating but when it goes right I'm in bliss. I just love it and I know I'll love quilting too!! Can't wait for your other videos!!
I am just getting started with quilting. Thank you so much for such an easy-to-follow and informative video. I like that you broke it down into bite size pieces. I am excited to quilt for my family and to share my new craft with others.
I am just starting out and am so excited to learn the in and outs of quilting. Sad that I found a passion for sewing so late in life but better late than never :). Love watching your tutorials and am looking forward to the next one. Thanks and I'll be watching!
Thank you, thank you. I have taken classes, but once on my own I did get very nervous. But after watching this video I have more confidence. I am in my 70's and just got started quilting because my granddaughter expressed a desire to learn. Blessings your way,
Melanie great tutorial. I've been sewing costumes for years with daughters in dancing and when they finished I missed the sewing so was always looking for a sewing project I'd enjoy (with no stress of time restrictions) For the last week I have been obsessed almost, watching utube content on beginning quilting so got really excited, went out a grabbed a rotary cutter, board, ruler and some fabric. But when I started it didn't seem as easy as all these lovely ladies made it seem. So back to utube and I discovered your channel and you took me through ever step explaining what, after awhile would be obvious but I needed, that basic info to get me started. Thank you for making my intro to (self taught) quilting easier. I reckon I'm gunna love this new journey.
Thank you for that nice little note! You are gonna love it ;) With your sewing experience you'll be a quick study!
I am so happy you are doing this series. I love that fact that people are able to take all of those gorgeous fabrics I see and turn them into blankets/ quilts. I want to learn how to do that.
The reason i love quilting is because its a fun hobby for me. I can just turn my music on and quilt on my weekends. I watch many videos on youtube and learn a lot from different people. There are so much more to learn and its cool when i find tricks to make quilting a little faster. The thing i love most about quilting is when i give them to my family, friends, or donations. To see people amazed that a person took their own time to make something special is heart warming. Ill NEVER stop quilting, its a passion!
What I love about quilting is making the fabrics pop! Also I love to see the face of whom I gift the quilt to,after I spend my time quilting it for them ,Surprise!!
I'm a self taught quilter and I love putting the fabrics together.....but I may love the crinkly feeling after washing the quilt even more.
I have never made a quilt from scratch, I crochet and do some basic sewing so I was extremely excited when I saw you were doing this series, I will be doing some shopping next week and start cutting! I am so EXCITED!!!
I would love to learn how to quilt after having a battle with cancer I had a lot of time on my hands and would love to make my girls something that they can say wow mummy made me this they love me making them things and you showed me how to crochet and make them hats and gloves and scarfs so I would love for you to teach me how to do quilting as your a great teacher love you keep up the great work you do Hun xx
Love, love, love your videos and your blog! I am learning so much.....thank you!
First timer. I wanted to learn to sew in general. But watching your videos has caught my interest in quilting. I'm hoping I can make my first quilt by the end of the year.
My very very favourite part of quilting is how happy each and every Quilt makes me every single time I look at it! They all have so many memories attached to them :-)
The thing I love the most about quilting is the putting together a giant puzzle that makes something beautiful, warm, and made with love.
This will be my first quilt. I will be working along with my kids aged 13-6. Looking forward to it.
What is great about quilting is it allows you to express your creativity.
What I love about quilting is that you don't always need to have a plan; sometimes you just sew, and your project comes out beautiful! Thank you for starting this tutorial!
