Am I the only one that feels as tho I'm just slightly addicted to Jordan Fabric tutorials so much so that I find myself checking daily to see if there is a new one... she has such great techniques and a very pleasant voice to listen too love watching them!!
YES! Informative content, great ideas, excellent photography, and good explanations as to why and how. Her diction is impeccable - no annoying “ums,” “tsks,” or wasted words.
Hi from Florida! I am a big fan. Fairly new to quilting. I’ve been following you for about a couple of years. Love your videos! You are a wonderful teacher.please keep doing what your doing😃👍 BTW, love your natural hair! I started 14 months ago too!
Not only do you construct beautiful quilts with genuine love and joy but you share other designers work giving them complete attention and mention. Donna I just love all that you do, all your attention to detail, and your gentle guiding voice. You are truly a master! Thank you for sharing your gift!!
Hi from Australia. I have been watching this gifted teacher for a very long time and every demo is beautiful, precise and professionally delivered. Thankyou Donna for holding our hand and doing it all for us. BRAVA !!!
I read the comments about waste. Waste is in the eye of the beholder. I save my scraps, divide them into sizes (placed into zip lock bags) and have made some really crazy and whacky quilts, and sometimes they have been used to save the day. Unless you are sewing charms beside one another and making one plain square quilt, there will always be some waste, and again what one determines is waste is in the eye of the beholder. I see this as a new and unique application for my quilting. The possibilities for this is only limited by your imagination. Lastly, this is the reason there are so many patterns, just like a gazillion style of shoes. They don't always hit someone's hot button.
I took all my scraps too and cut them into usable pieces and placed them into containers so that I could go to them as needed, some as small as 1 1/2” squares and even made a postage stamp quilt out of them. My waste has to be smaller than 1 1/2” for me to toss, I’m not into crumb quilting so I don’t save pieces for that.
It is a great technique for a small challenging project and beautiful color combination and result. I wouldn't mind wasting a bit in comparison to the awesome result. Thank you
This has real paper piecing vibes - as an aside, I thought all quilting was done with scrap material and bits of paper. I thought all those 'American' style quilts were really advanced paper geometry! Then, after finally finishing a double quilt I have been making with small rectangle notelets as a template, a quilt I have been doing on and off for more than twenty years (!), I watched Donna wizz up a quilt in a matter of hours! Seriously! My second quilt, with Donna as my on line Quilting 'Auntie', took me a weekend - although the hand quilting is taking some time. So, thank you Donna for being a truely great teacher, Claire, England. xx
I didn't think I was interested in this pattern, but it's Donna and she is always worth a watch. Part way through I thought - well this one isn't going to get done - and then suddenly, whoa, I like this, you could have fun with this. Loving the bright colours but you can go anywhere with the colour choice on this . Love it. Thank you.
Hi, from Quebec, You are an inspiring teacher.. you work so beautifully, it is a true pleasure to watch.. thank you for taking time to show us what beautiful things that can be done.. wow. I am a beginner and I have lot to learn.. many many thanks
I love your teaching technique! You break everything down so I believe that can do it also. Even your voice is soothing to listen to. I have made a couple Dresden plate runners and it never occurred to me to quilt them like you did, absolutely brilliant! Please keep your tutorials coming. Blessings from MN.
This is a really magical pattern. As the tutorial unfolded it was like an ah-ha moment. Donna your Master Video Maker is superb really. He gets his camera exactly right to the spot so that we can see exactly “how to”. Thank you for all your time and effort and skill in teaching all the quilting methods.
I initially thought the starbursts were English paper piecing. What a clever technique. Your quilting really enhanced the starbursts. Another great video thank you.
Very cute pattern and cheerful fabrics! Made a beautiful runner. You explain things so wonderfully! Great that they include the template. I like to use "True Grips" on my rulers or templates that don't already have the surface to hold fabric from slipping. Thanks! Cheers from🇨🇦🍁
What would my mornings be without coffee and Donna! Your videos are just what I like to watch and listen to while I'm having my morning coffee and trying to wake up! I love watching you sew all those seams, and I especially love watching you cut all that fabric for those beautiful quilts that you make! Your quilts always come out looking so beautiful! Thank you for the tip about putting a weight over my ruler when I do my cutting! That's one of the best tips I've learned from you! And "finger pressing" my seams! I've learned so much from you! Thanks, Donna and Matt, and please keep the videos coming! (Hearts to you both!)
Thanks for sharing the technique. I have made another me and my sister design and it was fun and easy. For the people commenting on wasting fabric... find a different pattern that you feel is worthy. We are so lucky to have many different patterns and ideas for different people's tastes. Thanks Donna for sharing!
I've watched this video several times and what comes to mind is before you put the starburst on the blocks, sew the blocks together first. Next pin or use a glue stick to put the starburst on the blocks. Make your quilt sandwich and NOW stitch the starburst on the blocks, stitch between the blocks, trim and bind.
I have made a lot of Dresden plates and I have a tip. To make sure your wedge is ironed symmetrically to can use a piece of cardboard with a diagonal line drawn on it. You place it inside the corner you are ironing and have the line on the cardboard line up with seam on the back of the blade. This assures that all of your blades are the same.
I am sort of laughing because I find myself thinking: Oh, let’s make that (because she makes it look quick and easy - good teacher that she is) SO technically I am not relaxing but mentally adding to my Let’s Sew That list.
I got this pattern ordered today, the end....yes the end until after September. Swore I wasn't buying any more until after my daughter's destination wedding. But HAD to have this. I'll make the bride and groom a tablerunner to ease my guilt.
When I saw your fabric selection, I immediately thought of impressionist art-my favorite. Exquisite. Your white-on-white pattern added the leaves to the flowers! You are an excellent teacher, Donna-a natural. I’ve watched all your videos, a few more than once. Thank you for all you do. 💕
Totally agree! I don’t think this is one I will pass on. I love all the rest of her designs and she makes everything look so easy! Donna has and I for colors I never could put some colors together if I didn’t see them made up by Donna! She is amazing and I loved every item I have purchased. Matt is also amazing. Bought lots of runner precuts and other precuts. All items are perfectly cut and go to get her quickly. Thanks Donna.
I read a book about somebody living in Vanuatu, and for the life of me I can’t remember what it’s about! I’m in New Hampshire USA. It’s 3:40 AM right now and I will be praying in a minute. Have a great day. I think it was the Book, Getting Stoned With Savages! 🤣
Every time I watch one of your tutorials, I learn something new. Today, I learned how to “straight edge echo” on the background quilting without actually marking on the quilt. Nice pattern and a great finished product. Thank you.
Donna, I just loved your video and had to order the pattern, which I also love! Can see so many options for this and definitely agree with Joan (poster below) about it being a great scrap buster! Thanks for the great video and soon I'll be cleaning out all my old scraps!
I also love watching Donna. She make it look so doable. Breaking it down. Such a joy. She is such a star in my book. Thank you Donna. God Bless you and Matt. Have a Merry Christmas. 🙏🏻❤️
I had been skipping this video because I don’t like appliqué patterns… but, I finally watched it today. This is a game changer! I might be willing to try more appliqué patterns going forward!
You are a great teacher Donna. This would be pretty intimidating but you explain everything so clearly. Your camera person is really really good too and that makes it so helpful! I can very clearly see what you are showing us. Thanks!!!
My thoughts exactly!! I've learned SO much being able to see up close and follow along with Donna's excellent instructions! What an amazing family operation!
I saw the two sisters at Missouri Star Quilt Company a couple years ago. I’ve made two of these and they are so much fun. So cool to see you doing this one. I cut and sewed the four patches precisely so that the pieces you cut away (equals about 50%) are ready to do something else with. I use every bit of it. No waste! 😊
Dobrý den, sleduji vás dlouho a moc se mi vaše práce líbí. Vždy se těším na nová videa. Tento quilt mě tak zaujal, že jsem si hned udělala papírovou šablonu a zkusila jsem to ušít. Je to super. Děkuji.🙂
Hi from Texas. Even if I can’t possibly take on another project I am thrilled to see a new video from Donna. She is always so upbeat and fun. Thank you for a few minutes to relax with no worries.
I’m also from Texas and love to watch your creativeness! I love how you sat,”I’m not going to worry about it too much.” It truly makes me think that I could do this and not stress “too much.” Love you, Donna!
Am I the only one that feels as tho I'm just slightly addicted to Jordan Fabric tutorials so much so that I find myself checking daily to see if there is a new one... she has such great techniques and a very pleasant voice to listen too love watching them!!
Yes. And usually no special tools or rulers... keeps to basic things everyone has
I love watching Donna and she explains things so well.
I’m addicted too. 😂😂
Just hit the “subscribe” button and you will get notices of new videos. They also put them on their email fabric sale notices.
YES! Informative content, great ideas, excellent photography, and good explanations as to why and how. Her diction is impeccable - no annoying “ums,” “tsks,” or wasted words.
I like the uniqueness of this pattern. It simlar to a dresden but the extra dimension of tge diamond shapes gives it sizzle. 🎶💐💖
You are the best teacher. I always learn something from you. Thank you!
Donna brings such joy into her quilting patterns. It doesn’t matter what she is making, she just injects smiles.
This is going to be my next project 🎉 love, love love it…..thank you 💜💜🇦🇺
Thanks for another wonderful video! ❤️

I'm hooked. So many idea's. I used to make all my clothes but I love making quilts. Thanks so much!
She brings it!

Donna, you are a great teacher. Thank you!
I love Me and My Sister. I worked with Barb while she was starting her company and she is a gem. Really enjoy Jordan Fabrics .
You're so pleasant to listen to. Makes the instructions clear. Love the hair.
Another great delivery!!!!! Happy Sunday everyone!!!! x

The table runner is stunning.
What a neat idea! Looks great. The quilting shows off the star bursts. Thanks Donna for your beautiful ideas.
Hi, from Quebec, You are an inspiring teacher.. you work so beautifully, it is a true pleasure to watch.. thank you for taking time to show us what beautiful things that can be done.. wow.
I am a beginner and I have lot to learn.. many many thanks
Thanks, great project,thanks Donna. Happy sewing
From Texas. You always have fun little sewing tips that help the project look finely made. I love your tutorials!
Beautiful job❤️
I can’t for the life of me of understand why people give a thumbs down!
Yep. It's delicious. I haven't made it in a few years. Thanks, Rachel and Ron. 🎶💐💖
Ohh you inspire me to make things. Thank you for your continued videos, expertise, and energy.
I love and enjoyed watching your patch work your very talented Jordan....
Do love that white on white background. This would make a beautiful wall hanging.
Excellent sewing instructions, excellent camera angles. Thank you!! Fun design!!
I love watching you take a pattern that looks very complicated and then break it down and make it seem manageable.
I love your teaching technique! You break everything down so I believe that can do it also. Even your voice is soothing to listen to. I have made a couple Dresden plate runners and it never occurred to me to quilt them like you did, absolutely brilliant! Please keep your tutorials coming. Blessings from MN.
So pretty! It looks like jewels. ❣️🌹
Absolutely gorgeous. Labor intensive but worth it!👍🏻🥰❤️❤️❤️

He gets his camera exactly right to the spot so that we can see exactly “how to”. Thank you for all your time and effort and skill in teaching all the quilting methods.
The Master Video Maker is our son James. He directs, films, edits and it is really due in great part to his work that our videos are successful.
I initially thought the starbursts were English paper piecing. What a clever technique. Your quilting really enhanced the starbursts. Another great video thank you.
Very cute pattern and cheerful fabrics! Made a beautiful runner. You explain things so wonderfully! Great that they include the template. I like to use "True Grips" on my rulers or templates that don't already have the surface to hold fabric from slipping. Thanks! Cheers from🇨🇦🍁

Thanks again for sharing your expertise. Watching your video’s always makes my day better. Have a great day.
You’ve done an excellent quilting job. Thanks for showing us how to make the Star burst. Your FMQ is excellent
I am really impressed with you visual and verbal explanations of techniques. Thank you for everything you do. Regards Alison
I love watching your videos. I have learned so much. Understanding new techniques and terminology. As a new beginner quilter it is very appreciated
The color fabrics look like gems or jewels😀
I love how you turned them. I have always trimmed the corner then turn them. This is a more secure way of doing it. Thanks
I've watched this video several times and what comes to mind is before you put the starburst on the blocks, sew the blocks together first. Next pin or use a glue stick to put the starburst on the blocks. Make your quilt sandwich and NOW stitch the starburst on the blocks, stitch between the blocks, trim and bind.

Good idea.
Nice tip about starting and ending the backtrack stitching a little bit in from the edge to avoid tiny thread bits.
Always a joy to see Donna at work!!
Beautiful, Donna Thank you
What a fun technique. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
So relaxing watching you work.
I am sort of laughing because I find myself thinking: Oh, let’s make that (because she makes it look quick and easy - good teacher that she is) SO technically I am not relaxing but mentally adding to my Let’s Sew That list.
Margaret Gaal me too! 😂

What a great project! I can imagine it in Christmas fabrics, or a blue/white ‘snowflake’ theme. How great to have the template included!
When I saw your fabric selection, I immediately thought of impressionist art-my favorite. Exquisite. Your white-on-white pattern added the leaves to the flowers! You are an excellent teacher, Donna-a natural. I’ve watched all your videos, a few more than once. Thank you for all you do. 💕
The star burst is so pretty!!! Favorite one I have ever seen!!Donna, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your BEAUTIFUL Silver hair!!!!
Totally agree! I don’t think this is one I will pass on. I love all the rest of her designs and she makes everything look so easy!

Yaaay so excited another one from Donna .. and I’m first again .. I live in Vanuatu which is in the South Pacific and my time zone must be perfect 😊😊😊
I read a book about somebody living in Vanuatu, and for the life of me I can’t remember what it’s about! I’m in New Hampshire USA. It’s 3:40 AM right now and I will be praying in a minute. Have a great day. I think it was the Book, Getting Stoned With Savages! 🤣
I watch at least 2 or 3. A day. 😊. She’s very easy to fallow along with.
Donna,you are a genius! I learn something from you every time I watch your videos! You simplify every thing! Thank you! Love this pattern!
Every time I watch one of your tutorials, I learn something new. Today, I learned how to “straight edge echo” on the background quilting without actually marking on the quilt. Nice pattern and a great finished product. Thank you.
Just very Beautiful!! Both quilts.
Thank you enjoyed this video!
I like this. You always make them seem easy, I think it probably is.
Donna your hair looks beautiful!!
Très joli et bravo pour la réalisation 🥰🥰

Love it too I watch your video and learn a lot
So, so pretty Donna. Love it! ❤️
You make it look so easy, I like the design!
Wonderful tutorial! Thanks so much👍🏻❤️
I’m gobsmacked by the waste & yet tempted to make one square for a pillow or quilt centerpiece!
You are a great teacher Donna. This would be pretty intimidating but you explain everything so clearly. Your camera person is really really good too and that makes it so helpful! I can very clearly see what you are showing us. Thanks!!!
Excellent instructor
I was thinking this very same thing. Your son does an excellent job of showing us exactly what you are doing.
My thoughts exactly!! I've learned SO much being able to see up close and follow along with Donna's excellent instructions! What an amazing family operation!
Wow! What a gorgeous star! Nice to make something a little different.
Fantastic skill. Thanks for sharing details. You make it look easy.
Nádhera 👍💓 perfektná pedantná práca 👏 ďakujem veľmi pekne za inšpiráciu a video 😘 pozdravujem a prajem všetko dobré 😀
Beautiful very beautiful thank you
I enjoyed this thanks 👍🏼
It reminded me of making Dresden Plates but more intricate. And I would definitely use the scraps for another project. 😊🌸🌷💕
So beautiful! You make it look easy. :)
What a fun video donna ! I'm so aching to make a quilt. You do beautiful work.
I saw the two sisters at Missouri Star Quilt Company a couple years ago. I’ve made two of these and they are so much fun. So cool to see you doing this one.

Please show us some examples of the cut aways
@@claudiaandkirkbowen2799 I will be pleased to if someone can explain to me how to do so. I’ve never posted a photo into a comment.
@@winnepeterson7740 I forgot that you can’t post it on youtube If you have a FB account maybe you can send me a PM to Claudia Bowen. Thanks
@@claudiaandkirkbowen2799 Yes, you can post on TH-cam.
@Winne, I wan to know how you did it too! Please send me a PM to Alice Hwang (the logo is a girl with green hat and a bird on it). Many thanks!!!
Really enjoyed this video. I am inspired! Thank you
The quilting looks good on the back of the runner, as well as the front.
Super cute, loved your quilting
The BEST lessons, which i saw
Lovely project. Thanks for sharing

Wow such a beautiful pattern and unique method!! Any time I see a new video from you it makes my day! I learn so much from each of your videos!
Very special and beautiful.
I love this table runner!
Absolutely beautiful and lots of fun!! I can’t wait to try!!
I’m also from Texas and love to watch your creativeness! I love how you sat,”I’m not going to worry about it too much.” It truly makes me think that I could do this and not stress “too much.” Love you, Donna!
