If I were to host a quilters dinner party I would probably invite my mother, grandma and some of my aunts. Quilting should be something that everyone at least has a little bit of experience at! I won’t say my age, but what I will say is that I’m pretty young, younger than Angela. But, when I came across these videos I couldn’t help but feel inspired to make a quilt! If you love to do something please do it no matter how old or young you may be! I would also invite Jenny from Missouri star quilt Co. and you, Angela! You two are like the Quilting queens, I would talk to you guys for hours! And like what Susan Hutchins said, we can’t forget about Rob!
'YES', I would love to host a quilters dinner party. Let me see, who would I invite. First of all Angela you would be on my list, and of course we will have red wine with our meal. I also would like to include my Mom, Aunts Karen and Kay, Cousin Cindy. We are a family of quilters. Love the placemats that are so cheerful just like Angela is. We can't forget the snacks of popcorn and M&M's after our dinner is through as we sit around sharing our quilting ideas with each other. Thank You Angela for being so inspiring.
I would invite my mother in-law to a Quilter's Dinner Party, along with my friends and family. I would hope it would encourage them to start quilting along with me so I can have more people who understand the obsession!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway and tutorial!!
Oh the opportunity to win fabric for beautiful placemats and then use to for dinner with special quilting ‘friends’. What could be better! Really a dream come true. Who to invite? Angela, of course as she is making this happen, Laura Ann Coia, Jenny Doan, Heather Thomas, Alex Anderson and Ricki Tims, he can entertain us too. Oh what a day we could have. Thanks Angela!!! Keep teaching us and helping us push beyond our comfort zones and expanding our minds to put more skills into tool boxes. Love your videos and your sense of humour too. Keep it coming.
My grandma for sure because she gave me my first sewing machine... my mom for keeping me stocked in ideas and equipment no matter where the army takes me and mine... Sylvia Schaefer because she is a scientist like myself and I would love to meet another scientific quilter.... and of course there would be room for my quilty therapist Dr. Walters QD (quilt degree)!
My perfect dinner party would be, of course, you Angela for giving me the free motion inspiration that's gotten me where I am, Jenny Doan for teaching me so much more than the basics, Tula Pink for her outrageously colorful world, and my very best quilty friend of all time Terry.
I would love to have a dinner with you, Angela, and if possible Jenny Doan! That way hopefully I could spend a couple of days in Missouri shopping at your wonderful shops!!! Yay! A girl can dream can't she???
I thought of that myself when she got to that part. For a tablemat it would be easy but maybe it's a chance to show us how she does binding. I just wish I was talented enough to do machine binding for the finish.
It would be a blast to have dinner with you, Angela! Your videos are always such a delight to watch. Your quilts are so colorful and you make the entire process so fun. I really enjoy your upbeat personality and wit and I bet we would have a great time together. I am definitely a fan of yours and have gotten a couple of my co workers in to watching you as well. If I am not selected to have dinner with you, let me tell you that I will continue to be inspired by your videos.
The placemats are just beautiful and full of color for spring and summer, I know those would look fantastic on my table. Ok, a quilters dinner party inviting my favorite quilters, there are a lot. First off, the life of the party has to be Angela Walters of course. Than Sharon Schamber, oh my yes. Patsy Thompson, Leah Day, Jenny Doan, Amy Johnson, Julie Cefalu, Lori Kennedy, Karlee Porter, Marti Michell, Edyta Sitar, Karen McTavish, and ME! Wow, what fun is that. I would have each of them make their own placemat and sign it. Than we would have a feast and lots of wine!!! This is one dream I don't want to wake up from..... Oh, did I say that would have to bring their jammies for the overnite slumber party....... Claudia
I am a self-taught quilter have been quilting for 11 months finally got the courage to try it with all tutorials from you Angela and also viewing Jenny Doan but for dinner I would invite my for lovely granddaughters which I enjoy very much especially my five-year-old that I think is going to be an amazing quilter she so wants to learn how to quilt I have bought her a mini sewing machine she knows how to cut and put little bits together she's what keeps me going I'm learning more on the quilting techniques so I can show her and hopefully she will continue on as she grows up
Fun placemats and easy to do. I’d want to have more than one party ~ There are strictly quilters like yourself, Leah Day, Jenny MSQC, & Edyta Sitar & Donna Jordan from Jordan Fabrics that would be so fun & interesting. Then there are the crafty/quilters like Jennifer of Shabby Fabrics, Wendi Gratz Shiny Happy World, Laura Ann Coia, & Gina from ArtsandCrafts4you who incorporate craft projects which I also love to do. Gotta like the fun personalities and mutual love of working with fabric!
Oh Angela...who could even think of having a quilter's dinner party without you? You are the party girl:) except that I wouldn't want to host it at midnight. Thanks for all of your tutorials and the added entertainment quality.
Reading the list of potential guests has been worth the trip! How about the Egyptian who supposedly made the first log cabin pattern or the Korean quilter who hand stitched together panels of pastel silks. The ladies from Gee's Bend have to come, too, and you, of course.
I am just getting back into sewing after 50+years. I’m learning to quilt by making table runners and placemats. I so enjoy your videos as I have learned so very much. Thank you for being on TH-cam! Debbie
I would ask my young friend who has had some tragic incidents in her life so far this year. She has always sewn, but has just started quilting. I believe in quilt therapy.
First on my list would be Angela Walters and it would be fun to invite Tula Pink. Sue Patton, Debby Brown, Marie Eldredge, Vicki Hoth, Jenny Doan and all of my quilty friends at my local quilt shop, Friends Quilting Basket. It really is hard to narrow the list down from so many great choices. So much quilty inspiration. Thanks for the great videos and more. I like how you invited us all to your party.
Oooh! Angela Walters, Jenny Doan, Alex Anderson, Laura Coia, Susan Claire AND my neighbor Beth Hunter, all get invites to my dinner party. We’ll toast to the memory of Nancy Zieman, and make sure there are a couple of extra seats in case I forgot anyone and they happen to show up. What tremendous fun!
I would definitely invite you, Angela!! Your sense of humor is totally in sync with my sisters and my crafty ladies (Yadies). I stopped mid quilting stream about 15 years ago when I was stalled over how to quilt it. The Midnight Quilt Show sucked me back in and I have in the past few months completed five FIVE! (5) whole quilts!!!! Thank you!!
My Mother and instructors like you Jenny Doan you are all down to earth quilters. My Mother is 84 shes been sewing for as long as I can remember and I think shed enjoy learning something new instead of just mending other peoples clothing. I can remember her doing a few quilts but it was like after that everyone just keeps sending over their mending to have her fix it. It would give her something to do maybe for herself and enjoy it.
My family is "dominated" by men, I have three sons, a brother, two brothers-in-law, no sisters, no daughters... Kinda alone in my sewing world bubble. Maybe I should organise such a party, with lots of spareribs, bier and cola, give them some fabrics and a sewing machine and see what they come up with... :))
Invite Rob Appell from Mansewing. He can convert all the guys and then you’ll have lots of sewing company. On second thought, that would mean you’d have to share your sewing space.
D L don’t feel bad. I have three sisters, three granddaughters, six nieces and an aunt, none of them are interested in sewing. I left out my daughter, but she isn’t either. One daughter in law might be interested, I don’t know about the other or her daughter. I think you should try to interest the men. It doesn’t make them sissy but you might have to convince them. Hmm, maybe a contest! The reward could be a special dinner or something else you know they’d like.
I'd love to have a party with my two daughters and daughter-in-law. We could have fun making the placemats and then we could have fun in the kitchen making dinner and eating it. My daughters don't quilt, but this would be a great simple project we could start and finish together in an afternoon. All those quilting stars would be great to invite as well. I invite many of them to my house on a weekly basis for personal lessons anyway. Thanks, all of you, for your help! I'll never finish all the great ideas you've given me, but I'll have fun trying!
The party you mentioned would be amazing. Jenny Doan, Tula Pink, and of course, Angela Walters! I am the only quilter in my family and friends circle so it would be hard to choose, but if I could quilt with anyone, it would be my two grandmother's who are not with us any longer. I know they would be so proud that I took up quilting. They were both hand quilters their whole lives and even bought me my first sewing machine.
I would faint to have you?? So it would be my dear,dear friend, Rhonda. She is wanting to quilt.she still works."Sew' to know I could get a weekend party with her would need AWESOME!! We live over 12 hrs apart... known her over 40 yrs!... These are too cute!!
Loved this episode, well actually I love them all. I appreciate a different QAYG placemat pattern as I’ve made a couple of dozen ordinary ones, I think people must be sick of them. I would invite my sister in law Janet as she is an amazing quilter.
I would have to invite my mom! She is my rock! Always there for me. She taught me the love of quilting years ago and I have learned and just ran with it! Making quilts for people with chronic illnesses and cancer. I use my own pain and depression to make quilts to share with others that need comforting! Thanks for another fun video!!!!!
I'd invite my great grandmother. Her quilts covered every bed when I was a child and though I've finally found a pattern I just can't get the technique down.
Roseanne Carr Atkinson the only name I've found it as was an origami star. I believe that name refers to an entire block by Doris Krauss Adomsky. My great grandmother's quilts were composed of only the folded center part of that block.
Great project! Well my table would have to be big as there are so many quilters to invite!. Doug Leno would be first on my list. He started at such a young age, would love to hear his insights. Eleanor Burns. She is such a happy you filled person! Julie Loume, Julie has such an encouraging and funny spirit. And last but not least, you Angela!!! Your a great teacher and super funny.
My ten year old and I would love to have you over for dinner. She and I watch your videos regularly, and we love them. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Who would not want to spend (at least) an evening with you Angela? I would also love to invite Donna Jordan and Jenny Doan. I cannot say that I have ever spent time with any other quilter that has not been entertaining, uplifting and just plain fun (and I usually learn a lot as well.) Can't wait for your next Midnight Quilt Show episode!
If possible, I would want to have dinner with Donna Poster. Her series on quilting is what gave me the information and confidence to continue quilting projects for my family and friends. I have since found and watched many videos on quilting techniques, but I still go back and refer to Donna's videos.
I had this jelly roll and made a quilt with it a couple month's ago. I definitely will be making these placemats and will need more than four.. To my dinner party I would love to invite you, Debby Brown and Jenny Doan along with my quilting friends. Angela, so enjoy your teaching style. Happy Quilting. Susan
Oh Angela! What a fantastic offer - you truly know your fans and understand this would a dream come true for many of us! I would need to have my mother and my Aunt Sally there, as they are responsible for getting my 'quilt hooked'! I only started making quilt tops about 1 1/2 ago, and am attempting quilting due to your great videos and encouragement to try. My dream table would include, of course, you! I'm a huge Tula fan, so that is a must. And I love Jaybird Quilt patterns - I think they go so well with different fabric selections. I also love Amy Butler - oh the colors! Thanks for all you do to help all of us continue to better our quilting skills and making it so fun! BTW - your make up looks awesome in the video!!!
My aunt! She is my quilt teacher from several states away. And my grandma. She’s in heaven now but was my first quilt teacher who taught me to make little bitty stitches
My 2 year quilting journey would be wonderfully complete to have dinner with Jenny Doan, you, Angela, and my friend, Tina (my Obi-Wan Kenobi-quilting master)! All three of you have inspired me to find a hobby that will leave a legacy of quilts for my grandchildren, my three boys and their wives! Thank you for giving me the gift of quilting!
Now Angela, that would be you that we all would love as our dinner guest. Love your entertaining videos and your quilts are amazing. I wish to be a good quilter, though that will take some time. Everything is intimidating. But, momma always said "nothing beats a failure like a try."
I think I would watch you even if I didn't quilt. You make it so much fun and enjoyable. I am smiling all through your Midnight shows. You also crack me up. You are not just a gifted quilter. Thank you for all you do in teaching and humor.
Thus is the first time I've been alerted to one of your videos. Where in earth have you been all my quilting life?? I mean, seriously! I LOVE your humor! I could watch you all day and night! I know for sure I'd absolutely be tickled pink ( or blue. Or , whatever color being tickled makes a person) to have a dinner with you!! Yes! You!! I have subscribed and put my settings so my phone makes a sound the exact second you post something! Thank you for this great video! You're AMAZING ! Now, keeping my fingers 🤞 that I win!! 👏👏 Happy quilting! 💕
For me that is a quick and easy answer. If my Nanny was still living it would be her. I grew up playing under her and her friends quilting frame and watched every little stitch they sewed while listening to them tell stories. The best memories ever!💜 She is the reason I always wanted to learn quilting and thanks to you and all of your help, the dream is becoming a reality!!!😊
Dinner with Angela Walters for sure! I have a huge circle of quilting friends so I'd have to do a drawing...put all their names in a huge wine glass and draw 2 more! Maybe sell tickets so that the highest bidder could have dinner with me and Angela! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
I would invite a few ladies who need a break from their busy lives. I love the brightness that fabric brings out. Can't wait to get started on making some. Might even have them ready for Easter dinner!
I’d love to have dinner with you, Angela. I love your tutorials. I visited your store last December, with my sisters, hoping to meet you, but you were out of the shop filming some episodes. I love your shop & your employees are very friendly & helpful. I’d also like to invite Jenny Doan and my sisters to our dinner. We all love to quilt. We try to have a sister’s quilting weekend as often as possible. We love quilting & drinking wine. We have found we do our best work after a glass or two of wine! Keep up the great work you do. You’ve inspired me to try free motion quilting. Thanks for giving me the confidence to try something new.
Yes, yes, yes, I would love to have dinner with so many people that its hard to pick one. I was going to say my hubby because today is our anniversary, but I think he would say I'm being silly as usual. I think I will pick my mom, who was my best friend. We lost her 5 years ago. If I could have her for one more dinner it would make me the happiest woman in the world. She always took care of me when I was dx'd with cancer several years ago and then she was dx'd with liver cancer and I took care of her till the end(which was only 10 days). So not a lot of time to talk to each other. Thx, Angela, I love your video's. You are an inspiration to all quilters!! Especially to us wine drinkers!!
A quilters dinner party, ooohhh, let me see........ Well there are only four placemats, so, would have to be you Angela, I just love your video’s and watch as many as I can find. Jenny Doan would be my next guest. I follow her along every video too. I have been a sewer since school age, but I have only been a quilter over the last 5 years. I work full time still, so I don’t get a chance to attend classes, so I have picked up all my knowledge from watching online. My very first inspiration was the Craftsy class Block of the Month in 2012 with Amy Gibson, so she would be my third guest. Just think what amazing quilty conversations there would be for an evening. Love your saying about finished is better than perfect. since I heard you say that, I have finished so many more quilts and I always quilt them myself xx
Awsome! I see many people getting placemats for Christmas this year! I would love to have dinner with you and invite my best friend Deb Whittle along. Of course my favorite quilter is my late Mother. Every stitch in every one of her quilts was hand stitched, piecing and quilting! 😮 Thanks Angela!
Ohhh a dinner party!! Sounds like fun! Let me see... Everyone would be invited to my table of course but I'd enjoy conversations with Angela, of course, Jenny Doan, and Rob Appell. Happy quilting and always choose joy!
It would be SO fun to have you (Angela Walters) join my church quilt group for a fun dinner party. With Angela's sense of humor joining us we would surely have a wonderful evening.
As quilting isn't as popular in the UK I only know one person that quilts, just as well that she's lovely. So she'd be my number one invite. If I was state side it'd be you, Tula Pink, Leah Day, Jenny Doan, Mary Fons, and Lynn and Pam from The Stitch. I think we'd have a great time. Mary introduced me to this quilting thing when I discovered quilty, then my friend, Mrs B, told me about Jenny and MSQC, from then on I've added more and more of you to feed the addiction. Just FMQ my first quilt (tried meander, pebbles, swirls, and even cursive writing). As I told Mrs B no 2 stitches are the same size! But I had a great time. Keep up the great tutorials, enthusiasm, encouragement, passion, but especially the humour - let's face it no ones died because their points didn't match.
I would love to have a dinner party with you Angela - you have inspired me to try quilting my own quilts, Jenny Down - who constantly comes up with the best quilt blocks, and my sister in law Meredith - who is the most talented person I know when it comes to making anything crafty! It was Meredith who first got me into sewing and has been there to encourage me always.
A dinner party with quilting friends would be so fun! If I could get you to come to California, Angela, that would be so amazing. I would have my sister-in-law, Jan, come as well. Getting one more guest for the fourth placemat would be a difficult choice...so, maybe I would have to make a set of eight or more and invite additional quilting friends like Alison Glass, Libs Elliott, Jenny Doan, Monique Jacobs, Shelley Cavanna, Christa Watson....! Oh my, there are just too many to name that I absolutely adore, so I guess I am going to have to make some more placemats! I better get sewing!
I would love to invite, my ancestors that quilted and sewed. I started quilting after my grandmother passed, so the chance to catch up and talk about quilting and the quilts they left and made would be very special. Angela, I love your videos and general approach to quilting. Thanks so much for all your efforts and sharing.
I would include my sisters, Susan and Barbara, who are my quilting buddies, and Barbara's group of quilting church ladies, who I have started making quilt tops for them to give to those in need of some comfort. Feeds my soul by creating, reduces my stash of materials, and gives.
Angela, I love your Midnight Quilter episodes! My friend and I have taken up quilting upon our recent retirements. I have always wanted to quilt and now have time! I would invite my friend Geri who also has began quilting later in life - we have a lot to learn! I find quilting/sewing to be so therapeutic! Love, love, love it!
You're what makes QUILTING fun Angela....Thanks My FIL called them Horses Dorses!!! (Well, he thought it was cute...anyway, even if his grandkids laughed at him.) Love this....and will try this when all the Christmas festivities are OVER! Thanks so much !
Yes please. Such an inspiration. This design could be used for Christmas table runner as well. One idea just leads onto another and another. Thanks - better get to the sewing machine and foot to the pedal. Happy quilting all 😀
Honestly, I would love to have dinner with you Angela! You have helped resolve the intimidating tasks that are involved in quilting for me! I have been able to finish a quilt for son and a memory quilt for my mother-in-law! Thank you for making the process fun and less intimidating! Happy Quilting.
Let's see! I'd love to have dinner with you of course! We could talk about the juxtaposition of corals and turquoise fabrics. Lol! Thank you for your simple instructions and sense of humor!
I would love to invite my sister and future daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law just started quilting when her grandmother passed. She made a memory quilt for her aunt out of her grandmother's clothes. I've been helping her, but there is so much we could both learn from a dinner party with you! Love the videos!
No brainer here!.... Angela, OF COURSE! And, I couldn’t leave out my local quilt shop owner, Julie, who inspires me every. Time. I. Walk. In. Her. Shop.!.... we QUILT in her BARN turned Sewist Center, out in the country in Indiana! Pretty sweet, right?!!! I couldn’t forget her mother, Pat..... nurse friend now retired who introduced me to her daughter. Pat is enjoying retirement.... quilting in numerous outings in the MOUNTAINS, nonetheless! Ohhhhh, the BLISS! How much fun would THAT dinner party be?!!!! Best part?!!..... we all like 🍷!!!
A dinner party with you and a few quilting friends sounds awesome. I would love to meet you, Jenny Doan, Donna Jordan, Leah Day, oh and let’s definitely not forget Tula Pink....there’s so many more. All sew fun! Thanks for your wonderful videos.
I would love to invite my 86 year old mom Yvonne, my sister Elaine, and friends Fiona, Cindy, Evelyn (all quilters), and just for fun my friend Irene. Irene doesn't quilt, but she is very interested in quilting, and has a huge appreciation for the art and skill involved. She is always really keen to learn new things and reconditions old machines for fun and charity. And you of course, Angela! I will even bring the red wine! And lots of it!
Hello Angela, I would invite my husband....after watching your videos he decided he would like to learn how to quilt. We both love your easy to follow videos and have learned a lot. My husband has quilted 12 quilts since Jan. 2019. Thanks so much for all your help and inspiration.
I would love to have my quilting friends over for dinner.....but I have learned how to quilt from mostly on Lone videos like yours.love the colors of these place mats.....very festive.
If I were to host a quilters' dinner party, I would absolutely invite you, Angela! I would also invite my partner in quilts, my daughter, and Jenny from MSQC, Judy Niedermeyer, and Jinny Beyer. I have learned so much from you, Angela, through these episodes of MQS, and you have given me the confidence to try things I would not have considered trying. The dinner conversation would be wonderful. BTW--I have plenty of wine. LOL.
My favourite quilting dinner guests would be yourself, Lori Kennedy of the Inbox Jaunt and Kelli Wulfsohn from Cutting Cloth. I have just completed my first free motion quilting project relying on inspiration from the three of you. Love watching your shows and know just the friend to share the place mats with.
I could invite my sisters (they quilt), my cousin (she is a pattern designer and quilter) and you. We would have a blast - it always about good food, some wonderful quilting juice, laughter, and creativity. Love your show, your warmth, and of course the fun.
First let me say, I really enjoy your Midnight video's. When I first started quilting I also started watching Alex Anderson on Simply Quilts. So her and one of her guests Ricky Timms I think would be fun to have dinner with and pick their brains. Thank you for your mad skills, Sheila
This is my favorite quilting show! I'm so happy I found you.
Any quilter would be my dream dinner party guest, because every quilter is my kind of people! You can never go wrong with a fellow quilter.
If I were to host a quilters dinner party I would probably invite my mother, grandma and some of my aunts. Quilting should be something that everyone at least has a little bit of experience at! I won’t say my age, but what I will say is that I’m pretty young, younger than Angela. But, when I came across these videos I couldn’t help but feel inspired to make a quilt!

You two are like the Quilting queens, I would talk to you guys for hours! And like what Susan Hutchins said, we can’t forget about Rob!
We can't forget Man-Sewing Rob! He would keep us awake with all that energy!
Susan Hutchins definitely can’t forget him! I’ll add him to the guest list ;)
'YES', I would love to host a quilters dinner party. Let me see, who would I invite. First of all Angela you would be on my list, and of course we will have red wine with our meal.

Keep teaching us and helping us push beyond our comfort zones and expanding our minds to put more skills into tool boxes. Love your videos and your sense of humour too. Keep it coming.
My grandma for sure because she gave me my first sewing machine... my mom for keeping me stocked in ideas and equipment no matter where the army takes me and mine... Sylvia Schaefer because she is a scientist like myself and I would love to meet another scientific quilter.... and of course there would be room for my quilty therapist Dr. Walters QD (quilt degree)!
My perfect dinner party would be, of course, you Angela for giving me the free motion inspiration that's gotten me where I am, Jenny Doan for teaching me so much more than the basics, Tula Pink for her outrageously colorful world, and my very best quilty friend of all time Terry.
Great video. I love fast and easy projects. I would invite Tula Pink, Anna Maria Horner, Kaffe Fassett and Angela :)
Dinner with Angela and Jenny Down....A dream come true! I would add Tula or Amy Butler to the party. Lots of fun! What a dream!
I would love to have a dinner with you, Angela, and if possible Jenny Doan! That way hopefully I could spend a couple of days in Missouri shopping at your wonderful shops!!! Yay! A girl can dream can't she???
I like your design, however you could have just rolled the back over for binding instead of cutting it off. Like a self binding baby quilt
I thought of that myself when she got to that part. For a tablemat it would be easy but maybe it's a chance to show us how she does binding. I just wish I was talented enough to do machine binding for the finish.
Dinner with Angela and Jenny and Rob from man sewing.
Angela Walters of course! It would be a blast. We would have an awesome meal and wonderful company!
Horse Divorce BIG LAUGH LOL couldn't stop hahahaha Great tutorial by the way
What does horse divorce even mean? Sorry I have no idea?
It would be a blast to have dinner with you, Angela! Your videos are always such a delight to watch. Your quilts are so colorful and you make the entire process so fun.

Fun placemats and easy to do. I’d want to have more than one party ~ There are strictly quilters like yourself, Leah Day, Jenny MSQC, & Edyta Sitar & Donna Jordan from Jordan Fabrics that would be so fun & interesting. Then there are the crafty/quilters like Jennifer of Shabby Fabrics, Wendi Gratz Shiny Happy World, Laura Ann Coia, & Gina from ArtsandCrafts4you who incorporate craft projects which I also love to do. Gotta like the fun personalities and mutual love of working with fabric!
Dinner with you would be a hoot! Let’s bring Freddie Moran with us too!
I couldn’t find the pattern so I can get the sIze of cuts and what not. What am I doing wrong?
Oh Angela...who could even think of having a quilter's dinner party without you? You are the party girl:) except that I wouldn't want to host it at midnight. Thanks for all of your tutorials and the added entertainment quality.
Reading the list of potential guests has been worth the trip! How about the Egyptian who supposedly made the first log cabin pattern or the Korean quilter who hand stitched together panels of pastel silks. The ladies from Gee's Bend have to come, too, and you, of course.
I am just getting back into sewing after 50+years. I’m learning to quilt by making table runners and placemats. I so enjoy your videos as I have learned so very much. Thank you for being on TH-cam! Debbie
I would ask my young friend who has had some tragic incidents in her life so far this year. She has always sewn, but has just started quilting. I believe in quilt therapy.
I would invite my friends that don't quilt.....yet. What a great way to get them excited about quilting!!!
Since I don’t have any quilters in my family I would invite Angela Walters, Tula Pink and Jenny Doan. I hope everyone enjoys red wine! 😂
Those would be my three!!!
First on my list would be Angela Walters and it would be fun to invite Tula Pink. Sue Patton, Debby Brown, Marie Eldredge, Vicki Hoth, Jenny Doan and all of my quilty friends at my local quilt shop, Friends Quilting Basket. It really is hard to narrow the list down from so many great choices. So much quilty inspiration. Thanks for the great videos and more. I like how you invited us all to your party.
Oooh! Angela Walters, Jenny Doan, Alex Anderson, Laura Coia, Susan Claire AND my neighbor Beth Hunter, all get invites to my dinner party. We’ll toast to the memory of Nancy Zieman, and make sure there are a couple of extra seats in case I forgot anyone and they happen to show up. What tremendous fun!
See, I already forgot Mary Fons! Come along, Mary!
I would definitely invite you, Angela!! Your sense of humor is totally in sync with my sisters and my crafty ladies (Yadies). I stopped mid quilting stream about 15 years ago when I was stalled over how to quilt it. The Midnight Quilt Show sucked me back in and I have in the past few months completed five FIVE! (5) whole quilts!!!! Thank you!!
Besides Angela, I think I would like to invite Jinny Beyer to a quilters dinner party.
Love watching just catching up on your videos great place mats
My Mother and instructors like you Jenny Doan you are all down to earth quilters. My Mother is 84 shes been sewing for as long as I can remember and I think shed enjoy learning something new instead of just mending other peoples clothing. I can remember her doing a few quilts but it was like after that everyone just keeps sending over their mending to have her fix it. It would give her something to do maybe for herself and enjoy it.
My family is "dominated" by men, I have three sons, a brother, two brothers-in-law, no sisters, no daughters... Kinda alone in my sewing world bubble. Maybe I should organise such a party, with lots of spareribs, bier and cola, give them some fabrics and a sewing machine and see what they come up with... :))
D L - love that idea. I'm assuming we'd be surprised by their talent...or lack of it. Happy dinner party hosting.
D L Try it. My son sews. Doesn't quilt be he knows his way around a sewing machine better than my daughter.
Invite Rob Appell from Mansewing. He can convert all the guys and then you’ll have lots of sewing company. On second thought, that would mean you’d have to share your sewing space.
My sons both sew, but not my daughter :)
D L don’t feel bad. I have three sisters, three granddaughters, six nieces and an aunt, none of them are interested in sewing. I left out my daughter, but she isn’t either. One daughter in law might be interested, I don’t know about the other or her daughter. I think you should try to interest the men. It doesn’t make them sissy but you might have to convince them. Hmm, maybe a contest! The reward could be a special dinner or something else you know they’d like.
I'd love to have a party with my two daughters and daughter-in-law. We could have fun making the placemats and then we could have fun in the kitchen making dinner and eating it. My daughters don't quilt, but this would be a great simple project we could start and finish together in an afternoon.
All those quilting stars would be great to invite as well. I invite many of them to my house on a weekly basis for personal lessons anyway. Thanks, all of you, for your help! I'll never finish all the great ideas you've given me, but I'll have fun trying!
Which quilter I'd like to invite to a dinner party? You, of course!
The party you mentioned would be amazing. Jenny Doan, Tula Pink, and of course, Angela Walters! I am the only quilter in my family and friends circle so it would be hard to choose, but if I could quilt with anyone, it would be my two grandmother's who are not with us any longer. I know they would be so proud that I took up quilting. They were both hand quilters their whole lives and even bought me my first sewing machine.
I would faint to have you?? So it would be my dear,dear friend, Rhonda. She is wanting to quilt.she still works."Sew' to know I could get a weekend party with her would need AWESOME!! We live over 12 hrs apart... known her over 40 yrs!... These are too cute!!

Loved this episode, well actually I love them all. I appreciate a different QAYG placemat pattern as I’ve made a couple of dozen ordinary ones, I think people must be sick of them. I would invite my sister in law Janet as she is an amazing quilter.

I would have to invite my mom! She is my rock! Always there for me. She taught me the love of quilting years ago and I have learned and just ran with it! Making quilts for people with chronic illnesses and cancer. I use my own pain and depression to make quilts to share with others that need comforting! Thanks for another fun video!!!!!
I'd invite my great grandmother. Her quilts covered every bed when I was a child and though I've finally found a pattern I just can't get the technique down.
Erica Deetscreek What's the name of the pattern? Maybe we (as in all of us here) can help you.
Roseanne Carr Atkinson the only name I've found it as was an origami star. I believe that name refers to an entire block by Doris Krauss Adomsky. My great grandmother's quilts were composed of only the folded center part of that block.
Great project! Well my table would have to be big as there are so many quilters to invite!. Doug Leno would be first on my list. He started at such a young age, would love to hear his insights. Eleanor Burns. She is such a happy you filled person! Julie Loume, Julie has such an encouraging and funny spirit. And last but not least, you Angela!!! Your a great teacher and super funny.
I'd invite Nancy if she were still alive.
My ten year old and I would love to have you over for dinner. She and I watch your videos regularly, and we love them. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
My closest quilty friends and YOU Angela! Your videos are great and Love you and your sense of humor!
Who would not want to spend (at least) an evening with you Angela? I would also love to invite Donna Jordan and Jenny Doan. I cannot say that I have ever spent time with any other quilter that has not been entertaining, uplifting and just plain fun (and I usually learn a lot as well.) Can't wait for your next Midnight Quilt Show episode!
I'd love to get you, Jenny and Rob all at the table!! Just thinking about the laughter makes me smile!!
If possible, I would want to have dinner with Donna Poster. Her series on quilting is what gave me the information and confidence to continue quilting projects for my family and friends. I have since found and watched many videos on quilting techniques, but I still go back and refer to Donna's videos.
I had this jelly roll and made a quilt with it a couple month's ago. I definitely will be making these placemats and will need more than four.. To my dinner party I would love to invite you, Debby Brown and Jenny Doan along with my quilting friends. Angela, so enjoy your teaching style. Happy Quilting. Susan
Oh Angela! What a fantastic offer - you truly know your fans and understand this would a dream come true for many of us!
I would need to have my mother and my Aunt Sally there, as they are responsible for getting my 'quilt hooked'! I only started making quilt tops about 1 1/2 ago, and am attempting quilting due to your great videos and encouragement to try. My dream table would include, of course, you! I'm a huge Tula fan, so that is a must. And I love Jaybird Quilt patterns - I think they go so well with different fabric selections. I also love Amy Butler - oh the colors!
Thanks for all you do to help all of us continue to better our quilting skills and making it so fun! BTW - your make up looks awesome in the video!!!
My aunt! She is my quilt teacher from several states away. And my grandma. She’s in heaven now but was my first quilt teacher who taught me to make little bitty stitches
My 2 year quilting journey would be wonderfully complete to have dinner with Jenny Doan, you, Angela, and my friend, Tina (my Obi-Wan Kenobi-quilting master)! All three of you have inspired me to find a hobby that will leave a legacy of quilts for my grandchildren, my three boys and their wives! Thank you for giving me the gift of quilting!
Now Angela, that would be you that we all would love as our dinner guest. Love your entertaining videos and your quilts are amazing. I wish to be a good quilter, though that will take some time. Everything is intimidating. But, momma always said "nothing beats a failure like a try."
I think I would watch you even if I didn't quilt. You make it so much fun and enjoyable. I am smiling all through your Midnight shows. You also crack me up. You are not just a gifted quilter. Thank you for all you do in teaching and humor.
Thus is the first time I've been alerted to one of your videos. Where in earth have you been all my quilting life?? I mean, seriously! I LOVE your humor! I could watch you all day and night! I know for sure I'd absolutely be tickled pink ( or blue. Or , whatever color being tickled makes a person) to have a dinner with you!! Yes! You!! I have subscribed and put my settings so my phone makes a sound the exact second you post something! Thank you for this great video! You're AMAZING ! Now, keeping my fingers 🤞 that I win!! 👏👏 Happy quilting! 💕
You of course! And my nieces. Gotta keep the tradition alive and you are a great inspiration.
For me that is a quick and easy answer. If my Nanny was still living it would be her. I grew up playing under her and her friends quilting frame and watched every little stitch they sewed while listening to them tell stories. The best memories ever!💜 She is the reason I always wanted to learn quilting and thanks to you and all of your help, the dream is becoming a reality!!!😊
Of course, Angela would have to come. Nancy, who taught me my first quilt class, then Missy, my favorite niece, and it would be a delightful evening!
Dinner with Angela Walters for sure! I have a huge circle of quilting friends so I'd have to do a drawing...put all their names in a huge wine glass and draw 2 more! Maybe sell tickets so that the highest bidder could have dinner with me and Angela! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
Angela, you are so AWESOME!!!!
I would invite a few ladies who need a break from their busy lives. I love the brightness that fabric brings out. Can't wait to get started on making some. Might even have them ready for Easter dinner!
I love this pattern. And ive made a few place mats in the past. Lots of fun & something to enjoy with bright colors.
I’d love to have dinner with you, Angela. I love your tutorials. I visited your store last December, with my sisters, hoping to meet you, but you were out of the shop filming some episodes. I love your shop & your employees are very friendly & helpful. I’d also like to invite Jenny Doan and my sisters to our dinner. We all love to quilt. We try to have a sister’s quilting weekend as often as possible. We love quilting & drinking wine. We have found we do our best work after a glass or two of wine! Keep up the great work you do. You’ve inspired me to try free motion quilting. Thanks for giving me the confidence to try something new.
Yes, yes, yes, I would love to have dinner with so many people that its hard to pick one. I was going to say my hubby because today is our anniversary, but I think he would say I'm being silly as usual. I think I will pick my mom, who was my best friend. We lost her 5 years ago. If I could have her for one more dinner it would make me the happiest woman in the world. She always took care of me when I was dx'd with cancer several years ago and then she was dx'd with liver cancer and I took care of her till the end(which was only 10 days). So not a lot of time to talk to each other. Thx, Angela, I love your video's. You are an inspiration to all quilters!! Especially to us wine drinkers!!
A quilters dinner party, ooohhh, let me see........ Well there are only four placemats, so, would have to be you Angela, I just love your video’s and watch as many as I can find. Jenny Doan would be my next guest. I follow her along every video too. I have been a sewer since school age, but I have only been a quilter over the last 5 years. I work full time still, so I don’t get a chance to attend classes, so I have picked up all my knowledge from watching online. My very first inspiration was the Craftsy class Block of the Month in 2012 with Amy Gibson, so she would be my third guest. Just think what amazing quilty conversations there would be for an evening. Love your saying about finished is better than perfect. since I heard you say that, I have finished so many more quilts and I always quilt them myself xx
What a great opportunity. Dinner with a great quilter. That would be awesome!
Awsome! I see many people getting placemats for Christmas this year! I would love to have dinner with you and invite my best friend Deb Whittle along. Of course my favorite quilter is my late Mother. Every stitch in every one of her quilts was hand stitched, piecing and quilting! 😮 Thanks Angela!
Who would I want to have over for dinner...Angela and Jenny both! I love your stories of how you began your quilting adventures.
Ohhh a dinner party!! Sounds like fun! Let me see... Everyone would be invited to my table of course but I'd enjoy conversations with Angela, of course, Jenny Doan, and Rob Appell. Happy quilting and always choose joy!
I would love to invite Angela, Jenny, Leah, and any of the wonderful quilting teachers in Craftsy!
It would be SO fun to have you (Angela Walters) join my church quilt group for a fun dinner party. With Angela's sense of humor joining us we would surely have a wonderful evening.
As quilting isn't as popular in the UK I only know one person that quilts, just as well that she's lovely. So she'd be my number one invite. If I was state side it'd be you, Tula Pink, Leah Day, Jenny Doan, Mary Fons, and Lynn and Pam from The Stitch. I think we'd have a great time. Mary introduced me to this quilting thing when I discovered quilty, then my friend, Mrs B, told me about Jenny and MSQC, from then on I've added more and more of you to feed the addiction. Just FMQ my first quilt (tried meander, pebbles, swirls, and even cursive writing). As I told Mrs B no 2 stitches are the same size! But I had a great time. Keep up the great tutorials, enthusiasm, encouragement, passion, but especially the humour - let's face it no ones died because their points didn't match.
I love this show and Angela, you are very funny and very creative too
I would love to have a dinner party with you Angela - you have inspired me to try quilting my own quilts, Jenny Down - who constantly comes up with the best quilt blocks, and my sister in law Meredith - who is the most talented person I know when it comes to making anything crafty! It was Meredith who first got me into sewing and has been there to encourage me always.
A dinner party with quilting friends would be so fun! If I could get you to come to California, Angela, that would be so amazing. I would have my sister-in-law, Jan, come as well. Getting one more guest for the fourth placemat would be a difficult choice...so, maybe I would have to make a set of eight or more and invite additional quilting friends like Alison Glass, Libs Elliott, Jenny Doan, Monique Jacobs, Shelley Cavanna, Christa Watson....! Oh my, there are just too many to name that I absolutely adore, so I guess I am going to have to make some more placemats! I better get sewing!
I'd like to invite my Mother to dinner. . she passed in 2000...she would have been amazed at all the wonderful tools we have today!!
Too cute Angela. Well presented as always.
I would love to invite, my ancestors that quilted and sewed. I started quilting after my grandmother passed, so the chance to catch up and talk about quilting and the quilts they left and made would be very special. Angela, I love your videos and general approach to quilting. Thanks so much for all your efforts and sharing.
I’d invite my two sisters, my daughter, and my niece. We have a blast quilting together!
I would include my sisters, Susan and Barbara, who are my quilting buddies, and Barbara's group of quilting church ladies, who I have started making quilt tops for them to give to those in need of some comfort. Feeds my soul by creating, reduces my stash of materials, and gives.
I love to have you, mom and my bsff Marsha. My mom is 85 and she still sews for the family. Yay mom! Thank you for another great pattern.
Angela, I love your Midnight Quilter episodes! My friend and I have taken up quilting upon our recent retirements. I have always wanted to quilt and now have time! I would invite my friend Geri who also has began quilting later in life - we have a lot to learn! I find quilting/sewing to be so therapeutic! Love, love, love it!
You're what makes QUILTING fun Angela....Thanks My FIL called them Horses Dorses!!! (Well, he thought it was cute...anyway, even if his grandkids laughed at him.)
Love this....and will try this when all the Christmas festivities are OVER!
Thanks so much !
Yes please. Such an inspiration. This design could be used for Christmas table runner as well. One idea just leads onto another and another. Thanks - better get to the sewing machine and foot to the pedal. Happy quilting all 😀
I would love to have dinner with Jean Truelove. She is hilarious and a fabulous quilter.
Honestly, I would love to have dinner with you Angela! You have helped resolve the intimidating tasks that are involved in quilting for me! I have been able to finish a quilt for son and a memory quilt for my mother-in-law! Thank you for making the process fun and less intimidating! Happy Quilting.
I loved the placemat pattern, and the cool and easy way to quilt as you go. Thanks for all your great ideas.
Let's see! I'd love to have dinner with you of course! We could talk about the juxtaposition of corals and turquoise fabrics. Lol! Thank you for your simple instructions and sense of humor!
My granddaughter, she's just learning to sew and loves to party!
Hi Angela ... I really enjoy all your tutorials... U make it fun and you are so talented and very creative.
What a nice fast project---and the spring colors are just what I need!
I would love to invite my sister and future daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law just started quilting when her grandmother passed. She made a memory quilt for her aunt out of her grandmother's clothes. I've been helping her, but there is so much we could both learn from a dinner party with you! Love the videos!
No brainer here!.... Angela, OF COURSE! And, I couldn’t leave out my local quilt shop owner, Julie, who inspires me every. Time. I. Walk. In. Her. Shop.!.... we QUILT in her BARN turned Sewist Center, out in the country in Indiana! Pretty sweet, right?!!! I couldn’t forget her mother, Pat..... nurse friend now retired who introduced me to her daughter. Pat is enjoying retirement.... quilting in numerous outings in the MOUNTAINS, nonetheless! Ohhhhh, the BLISS! How much fun would THAT dinner party be?!!!! Best part?!!..... we all like 🍷!!!
A dinner party with you and a few quilting friends sounds awesome. I would love to meet you, Jenny Doan, Donna Jordan, Leah Day, oh and let’s definitely not forget Tula Pink....there’s so many more. All sew fun! Thanks for your wonderful videos.
I would love to invite my 86 year old mom Yvonne, my sister Elaine, and friends Fiona, Cindy, Evelyn (all quilters), and just for fun my friend Irene. Irene doesn't quilt, but she is very interested in quilting, and has a huge appreciation for the art and skill involved. She is always really keen to learn new things and reconditions old machines for fun and charity. And you of course, Angela! I will even bring the red wine! And lots of it!
Would love to have dinner with You and Jenny Doan. You both are very knowledgeable and entertaining and make it funny and easy to understand.
Hello Angela, I would invite my husband....after watching your videos he decided he would like to learn how to quilt. We both love your easy to follow videos and have learned a lot. My husband has quilted 12 quilts since Jan. 2019. Thanks so much for all your help and inspiration.
I would love to have my quilting friends over for dinner.....but I have learned how to quilt from mostly on Lone videos like yours.love the colors of these place mats.....very festive.
I would love to have Angela and Jenny along with my QOV group Pins and Needles. All people that inspire me in quilting
If I were to host a quilters' dinner party, I would absolutely invite you, Angela! I would also invite my partner in quilts, my daughter, and Jenny from MSQC, Judy Niedermeyer, and Jinny Beyer. I have learned so much from you, Angela, through these episodes of MQS, and you have given me the confidence to try things I would not have considered trying. The dinner conversation would be wonderful. BTW--I have plenty of wine. LOL.
My favourite quilting dinner guests would be yourself, Lori Kennedy of the Inbox Jaunt and Kelli Wulfsohn from Cutting Cloth. I have just completed my first free motion quilting project relying on inspiration from the three of you. Love watching your shows and know just the friend to share the place mats with.
For dinner - Definitely you and Jenny! Sounds like fun evening with a lot of laughing!
I would love to have you, Jenny Doan, and Mary Fons! Thanks to all three of you for sharing you knowledge and you life with us!
I could invite my sisters (they quilt), my cousin (she is a pattern designer and quilter) and you. We would have a blast - it always about good food, some wonderful quilting juice, laughter, and creativity. Love your show, your warmth, and of course the fun.
First let me say, I really enjoy your Midnight video's. When I first started quilting I also started watching Alex Anderson on Simply Quilts. So her and one of her guests Ricky Timms I think would be fun to have dinner with and pick their brains. Thank you for your mad skills, Sheila
I would love to have a dinner party with Angela and Eleanor Burns. Eleanor's book about Log Cabin in a day was my first try at quilting!
