Donna, I love how genuine you are. You made a "mistake" and you totally owned it and gave real life options - keep it or fix it. Thanks for keeping it real for us newer quilters out here.
Saturday morning here in Norway, and the first order of business is to drink coffee and look for new videos from Donna. So happy every time there is a new one! These videos have been a great comfort in this horrible year. Thank you Donna and Jordan Fabrics. Hope to see some more "holiday sewing projects" soon. :)
Norway, Los Angeles California, I guess it doesn’t matter where we are we all spend our time together. I didn’t even know how to sew until this year. I’m still learning how to sew straight. So whenever Donna says “just little bit over the line” I laugh. But last week I made my first quilt top following Donna’s instruction. The back side is a mess. I got confused with which way to iron the seam line but the front looks half decent! Yay. I feel accomplished no matter what.
Dearest Donna, leave the pillow! Once it's in use, whose gonna see it ? And Thank you for sharing. You know the rest of us quilt in a vacuum with zero interruptions, too. Love love love watching your videos over and over.
So that’s why my corners never match up! I’ve never thought about sewing a little past the drawn line. Donna, you’re a treasure to all of us quilters out here. You’re an awesome teacher!
SOLD! This will be my next project beginning today, even tossing aside the pineapple ruler I’d bought to make a pineapple quilt. The pineapple blossom strip-apple pineapple wins my contest. Phew! What relief now having a solid direction to go. We’re heading to Hawaii next week with a friend, and we’ll be visiting a pineapple farm, so this quilt will be the perfect gift for her. Thank you! 🍍
Donna i so enjoyed watching this video. I look forward each day to your videos. You have a wonderful way of teaching. Thanks so much for sharing your talents.
I just bought this pattern. My daughter likes it and her husband asked for a king size with side drop. When I read the fabric requirements/ cutting instructions, I couldn’t help thinking “that’s a lot of wasted fabric”. But your pillow idea and pieced border solution will ease my frugal soul. Thank you again for all your tutorials!
Donna, you do us all proud! You are the best teacher. I love watching how you can produce these amazing quilts so well and so quickly. And you do patterns! You show us how to do things better all the time. And this is the first time I found you were also human! My heavens, woman! You even get prettier as you get older - which is down right criminal! Don't worry - we won't tell on you! Because you are the best teacher of all!
Thank you for your kind words! I make mistakes all the time, but my son who does the filming can edit and re-film the corrections! What was so funny with this pillow is that I stitched it, ironed it and admired it for a long time before I even realized that I had turned quite a few of the blocks differently than when I laid them all out!
Personally, I don’t like the look of quilts because of all the busy colors, but I can truly appreciate the beauty of your craft and the expertise you share with us all! A hearty thank you!
LOVE this quilt!! Thanks, Donna!! Oh, and it is nice to know you make errors once in a while yourself. To me, you’re AWESOME sewer, presenter, teacher, and designer of all these quilts and accessories! Thank You!!
Hello from Scotland. Love your videos, the way you take us through all the stages, the tips particularly fabric choices. Excellent for beginner to advanced quilter. Thank you.
I LOVE 💕 YOUR AWESOME TUTORIALS! I have learned sew much from you. I fell in love with your quality products when I bought several types of products at your booth at the Houston International Quilt Festival. I especially love Matt’s pre-cuts! I still have a quilt kit I need to sew together. I thank all of you sew much for what you do for us, the quilting and sewing community.
Beautiful Quilt Donna. Your Such A Great Teacher. Love Love Love This Pineapple Quilt. I’m Going To Make It For My Granddaughter Who’s A Math Teacher For 7th Graders & Her Husband For Christmas. Thank You!💜💜💜
This quilt is beautiful. The crowning touch for me was using the pale blue and lavender sashing and the blue print as a border. The tiny black cornerstones were perfect.
I watch your videos over and over, I just enjoy them and learn so much, and as I am watching this one I wonder if you enjoy making them as much as your followers enjoy watching.. Thank you for all you do.
Of all your quilts I think I love the daydream quilt! It seems old fashioned, the kind you'd find in grandma's cabin. . . rosey and cozy. 😊 Thank you for making quilting easy and fun!
This is great. Its now on my to make list. I love using black with bright batiks. Just pulls all those wonderful colors out. And those little pillows are adorable ❤ Thanks for the video Donna 😃 And also such a beautiful quilt to giveaway ❤
Wow! The most impressive part of this entire video was Donna being honest and brave enough to own the mistake in the pillow (affirming my belief that she is indeed an honest and brave person all around )! I love pineapple quilts and plan on getting up my courage to make one soon. Thank you to Jordan Fabrics for providing a bright spot in a bad day.
Donna, I'm so glad that I have discovered you and subscribed. You are so inspiring . You teach so well and make it look so easy, even for total beginners like myself. Thank you so much. love love love all your bolts of fabric. I would give anything to visit jordan fabrics. amazing. that long arm machine is such a dream. wow. love from south africa
I have learned the most from watching you work on the quilts in each of your videos and I believe that I can make a great quilt myself on my sewing machine even though I am still a beginner. Thanks so much for all the information you have provided all of us.
I loved it too. Then my imagination starts going, and I think of doing a baby quilt and what colors would look good for that. Then, what about "blended" colors . . . . it's really a great and easy pattern to do. It will be my very next project!
Thank you for all your videos, both instruction and information. I am right in the midst of making a baby quilt for my first grandbaby, and this video helped affirm my plans with the panels and sashing. Love your content!!
Such beautiful triangles! I have been a self taught quilter for the last 30+years and always appreciate input from other quilters. This tutorial is the easiest method yet to get those amazing triangles to work! Thank you Donna for your extra little tips to make quilting fun again!
I really adore this pattern very much and just might want to make one for me to enjoy. I liked the batik you chose with the soft but bright coloring, but it was the black that sold the design to me. They just worked so well together. Beautiful quilt and I am sure many quilters will love it also. Well done Donna.
This is a very cute pattern, and seemed fairly easy. Loved the repeating corners and it looks great in the batiks with the black. Pillows were a great idea too, for no waste. Especially loved your "abstract" pillow, I think you should definitely keep it. Thanks for all of this, we needed it.
Donna, What a happy way to start the day with a new tutorial from you. I can't say it enough what an awesome way of teaching you have. Everything from the cutting, sewing and pressing to the sound of your voice. It's all so calming and so easy to follow. Thank You for sharing with us. 💖
I love that there is no special ruler needed for this quilt, to give an awesome patter. You guys are the best. Especially when I had enquiries for my online order all the way here in Australia...👍
I appreciate that you walk through your color and design choices along the way, it helps me feel like I’m going in the right direction with my choices for borders and threads
I love the quilt and fabrics you used. I have definitely gotten sidetracked and had to rip it rip Thanks for sharing. I love your plaid nails and I would definitely like to steal your shirt!!😂😂
This is a beautiful quilt An you make it look so easy. Step by step! Your the best at explaining An methods of putting together -- love all you vidioes--
Hi Donna just catching up with videos. Your latest creation Pineapple quilt is stunning you have a great eye for colour. Teaming the black with the batiks looked striking. Thank you for sharing your time and tips. Love and hugs xx
Thanks, Donna, for another excellent video. You have been my education on "How to Quilt." I do wish Cozy Quilts offered a download option for buying their patterns.
I'm just in the process of making this pattern, but the coloured bits will be from my son's small clothes. It's gonna be a bed throw and cushion covers as well... Can't wait for the final result... 😊 Thank u very much for such a beautiful quilt and great inspiration... ❤️ Greetings from Scotland...
Oh Miss Donna... this is just sharp! I so love pineapple (in all kinds of ways) ...and this block is so typically Miss Daniella, but you brought it to life amazingly! So so enjoy your vids... Thanks to you and Mr. Matt and family for doing all that you do!
This is a great pattern, and as always you made it very easy to follow. I love the bright colors against the black. Always fun to watch your tutorials.
Donna, I have watched so many other quilting videos and I have found that you are absolutely the best to watch. Your attention to detail, your explanations, your calmness, your eye for color, all of this and more just amplifies your presentations. Thanks for being so willing to share with us.
Beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing. Today’s lesson was how you treated the pinking sheared sides. I’m not sure why manufacturers use pinking shears. It adds confusion. But now I know to to let the pinking points stick out a bit, to pretend they aren’t there. Thank you for this unintentional lesson.
Donna, I love how genuine you are. You made a "mistake" and you totally owned it and gave real life options - keep it or fix it. Thanks for keeping it real for us newer quilters out here.
I made a mistake in a quilt layout and told it my mom and my niece. They didn't see it - as for me that pillow is beautiful.
Keep it abstract. Love it 🥰
It's not a mistake, it is a design decision. That's what I tell myself
It's not a mistake, it's a learning experience.
I sit up all night long watching your quilting tutorial
Haha doing that now.
When I can't sleep I watch your videos again & again. I love ALL of them!!

The fabrics are so beautiful! I love this kind of prints... The quilt turns out so beautiful...
So beautiful. Colours are perfect. Has a true island theme. Donna you are amazing. The pillows are a perfect touch. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
That is an absolutely beautiful pineapple. You always do wonderful work Donna I really enjoy watching your tutorials. God bless.

Those are beautiful. And no ruler needed! What a great looking quilt. Thanks for posting! Stay safe, stay well.
Donna, I say leave it as an abstract, there are no mistakes. Your instructions make it easy to follow, thanks and have a great weekend.
I love all your ideas using the leftover blocks! Love, love your quilts
Donna i so enjoyed watching this video. I look forward each day to your videos. You have a wonderful way of teaching. Thanks so much for sharing your talents.

I love watching your videos. If I had a long arm I would have to sit and watch it sew. That looks so relaxing to watch.
If the first HST is sewn from rectangles, and not from squares, then you get 2 blocks at once. Beautiful design 👍
Thank you very much Donna. I love your tutorials. You are a great teatcher.
Beautiful quilt awesome 😎 job as always thank you 🙏🏾. God bless you and your family

Cute nails Donna! I love the fabrics in all the items you made, just beautiful.
I really adore this pattern very much and just might want to make one for me to enjoy. I liked the batik you chose with the soft but bright coloring, but it was the black that sold the design to me. They just worked so well together. Beautiful quilt and I am sure many quilters will love it also. Well done Donna.
Love this variation. It is so much easier than the traditional foundation piecing. Thanks.
This is a very cute pattern, and seemed fairly easy. Loved the repeating corners and it looks great in the batiks with the black. Pillows were a great idea too, for no waste. Especially loved your "abstract" pillow, I think you should definitely keep it. Thanks for all of this, we needed it.
