#quilting #ArtsAndCrafts #learn - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The thing that I love about Donna is that she shows how to use the basic equipment. Most show's show you all of the fancy stuff that you have to buy. But with Donna it is a basic pencil, and you can use the special ruler, or here is how you use the regular rule that everyone owns. I really respect that about her. Thank you so much for making quilting more affordable, and accessible
Agree wholeheartedly! Donna is amazing in every way !
Amen 🙏🏻! L❤️VE this comment, quilting is an expensive hobby, plus given the fact most of us give our quilts away, it’s nice to be able to cut corners where we can.
@@rainydaydiva6320 I agree 100%!
Exactly. Quilting items are over priced. Jordan Fabrics make videos that are so helpful and Donna teaches in a way that makes the project attainable. My first quilt was one of her free patterns.
Haha, that we I just thought yesterday watching an other video asking myself why it wasn’t marked as infomercial.
Can you imagine having that sewing room - all that fabric to pick from, all those patterns!!!
Donna
Watching you sometimes it’s hard because you were my sister‘s favorite quilting show to watch and she died last year but I continue to watch you it brings back memories plus I love the way you pick colors and put them together so easily and I love the way you show short cuts or tips thank you for all you do - I know it’s hard work 🥰🙏🏽
love and prayers for you Feliciax
I love watching Donna Jordan and her calm easy teaching methods.
I like it better when Donna does her own free patterns, rather than one you have to purchase. Regardless love your tutorials
Donna tells it like it is. She is not afraid to show she is human too. If she makes a mistake she shows you how to correct it the next time. She is a Rock Star in my book.
all I want is to spend a day in Donna’s shop… with a full tour of the shipping department… and all the rooms where Matt cuts the kits and Donna sees… that looks like sheer heaven!!
Oh yes that would be awesome!! I love how she goes through it and everyone else drags it out.
i ALMOST discarded this pattern from consideration until I saw that you constructed the scraps into a border piece and incorporated it into the backing. Without these two additional steps in the process, I think the pattern is somewhat wasteful of fabric. A black mark in my book. You saved the day and the quilt is drop dead gorgeous!
That said, I almost always choose fabric before I settle on a pattern choice. Once I have "shopped" my stash, I take a stack of potential fabric candidates to my pattern collection and make a gigantic mess on my worktable of pictures and fabrics, trying to choose the perfect pair. I often run back and forth to my fabric crates and bring out even more candidates. I lose track of time and have a glorious good time.
Yes to shopping the stash! Also, yes, this pattern has way too much waste. The designers were trying way too hard to use jelly rolls when maybe charms or just yardage would have been a better fit.
Your method sounds like great fun! I was stumped when Donna asked us which way we choose; fab or pattern first?
Most of the time, I fall in love with a fabric and then figure out a pattern that will work with it. Sometimes I'll find a pattern I love and get fabric to go with it, but that happens way less often.
Thank you Donna for your tutorials. I have not sewn a quilt in 20 years since my grandmother passed. Quilting was our favorite time together. I am ready to start again to keep her memory alive. The "Rock Star" quit is very beautiful. The color choices really pop. You are an excellent teacher and make sewing fun.
Omg I just live this quilt for a family member who doesn't sew but she is always doing things for others . I just live Donna's tutorials.
I am so addicted to fabric if that I generally pick the fabric first and then find a pattern to showcase the fabric. Than you for all of the tutorials!
I am going to repeat a lot of the same comments. I love that you don’t have to buy more accessories to make a featured quilt and can use what I have. Donna you are wonderful in this aspect! I frequently am attracted to quilt patterns and then will find material to make that quilt. What I love about Donna is that she picks colors that I would not have considered and they come out great. I also like that she posts customer made quilts of her patterns that frequently use additional color options. I also like that she finds ways to incorporate scraps to avoid wasted material. I am frequently now also looking at my scraps and using them in the original quilt design. You have a great channel and I always “do all the things” to let you tube know that I appreciate your content!
Who else gasped when Donna cut the little parrot's head in half at 11:40? 😭😂 Also... how long did it take people to notice Donna had her nails done during the filming of this - I made it all the way to block assembly before I noticed 😂 Gorgeous quilt! I've been eyeing this fabric for a while 💖
I only noticed since there's a few missing in the beginning and then bam she has all new gorgeous nails 😂
I'm new to sewing and Donna is the only one out of the hundreds that I can understand and LEARN without confusion. From her tone of voice to the way she simplifies every step. Thank you all at Jordan Fabrics.
I love watching Donna tutorial
I think she is the best
Kind, clear , precise, very sweet lady. And I will love to visit her store and have the chance to know her
Maybe one day
I’m currently at 0.33 seconds and you hit the nail on the head as my grandma would have said! I will at times pick up usually a Jelly Roll or maybe even a Charm Pack that’s irresistible and On Sale. I use your videos as inspiration because in my humble opinion, I always prefer your color choices verses the one on the quilt pattern. I’m a well seasoned quilter, often making quilts without using patterns. BUT, I would garnish at least a C- of less for being able to visualize a quilt pattern in fabrics other than what is on the pattern.
You are truly inspiring in so many ways. Also, I’m a huge fan of family owned businesses. I’ve ordered from Jordan Fabrics and once I needed assistance with my order. I even wrote a note of thanks as the person who assisted me was beyond wonderful. I’m a retired registered nurse who practiced for 53 years. Six of them were at a Family Practice. Therefore, I’m aware of the importance of excellent telephone skills and you’re employee garnered my appreciation of her phone skills. So, on to watching this video!
Know what you mean....l'm retired from public-contact job where SERVICE was paramount....equal to that is the customer-commendations...they mean a lot.
I agree. Their so helpful on the phone when I can't get my order to go through like I want it to.
I’ve been a huge fan of Donna and everyone at Jordan Fabrics for the last few years. They could be held as a role model of how a business can be run well with great service and wonderful demos on TH-cam. Thanks, Donna, Matt and all the gang at Jordan Fabrics.
I love watching Donna. Ive learned so much from her and I appreciate how she takes time to explain the important details and she doesn’t recommend a new tool every time she makes a video. Ive purchased a lot of cozy quilt patterns from Jordan Fabrics and never saw one of their patterns that wasted a lot of fabric. Donna saved the pattern by finding a way to utilize all that waste which I’m glad of, because let’s face it, fabric is super expensive. Thanks Donna!
Oh gosh the moment I've been waiting for ! Always go to bed watching 👀 to see new quilts. I have to figure out how to make my daughter's wedding band quilt. I watched my granny quilt and make each one of us girls one. Unfortunately she passed away a month ago and my daughter is so hurt by it so if one thing I have in my goals is to make one for my daughter as a memorial to my grandmother.
Have you seen Donna's double wedding ring quilt video? It's a beautiful project and might be helpful for your special project! th-cam.com/video/CtzclxUZDu8/w-d-xo.html
Donna has a great tutorial for that. And it's even easier with her pattern.
I can confirm, I made a double wedding ring quilt for some dear friends of mine following Donna Jordans tutorial and it turned out great!! To add a more complex look without having to piece each ring out of the tiny wedges, I cut my fabric for the rings into strips and then made strip sets out of them. One of yellow fabrics and one of purple... their wedding colors. I used the template Donna Jordan used to cut the rings out of the strip sets, and it turned out great!! Much easier than piecing together tiny little wedges, while making it look like i really spent a lot of time on it... They loved it!!
That is a stunning quilt and you are a Rock Star, Donna!
I pick the person first with their loves and interests. I try to make or fit a pattern's personality to their's. Sometimes a fabric just begs you to do something special
When she have to pick the thread colour, I listen to the choice, I pause the video and pick my choice and then compare with Donna’s. Fun exercice !
Your videos are, in my opinion, the best on TH-cam. You’re easy to follow, keep moving and have the most relaxing voice 😊 Please keep making these videos. They inspire so much!!
I laugh at myself today, after having found Donna and her videos! I made a queen quilt using ALL half square triangles and didn't know about sewing a quarter inch on both sides of the diagonal line! I ended up with enough 1/2 square triangles to make a wall hanging, 2 pillows and a table runner! Thank you Donna for setting me straight!
I like this quilt and the colors. I usually buy fabric first then look for a pattern. My dream quilting class would take place in a store like yours where the objective is for students to select fabrics for specific patterns and then receive feedback and guidance. I really enjoy watching Matt choose fabric. He explains his choices.
I usually pick the pattern before the fabric. Usually the only exception is when I find holiday fabric I love. Then I’ll pick the fabric and find a pattern that would look best with the fabric. Thanks for all of your videos! I love the inspiration and how easy you make it, even the most difficult looking patterns.
First I want to live in your shipping department! Seeing all the colors would make my day.
I tend to pick a pattern based on pre-cuts. I am not very experienced and despite my best efforts to be a careful cutter, I am not as accurate as I want. For me the pre-cuts take away a lot of that frustration. I have been watching Donna make quilts for awhile and have learned so much. Eventually I will tackle a more complicated project but right now I am very content to concentrate on making projects using pre-cuts. Thank you.
I LOVE fabric! 🥰 so most of the time I find a pattern for that perfect fabric I fell in love with. This pattern is not one that I would have ever chosen to make from the pattern itself (I find this to be true frequently) but Donna does such a great job with colors and, like this pattern, improves on a design to make a fabulous finished quilt! Love the white, I think it makes the whole quilt pop! And the pieced borders are fantastic. Anything that can help cut down on waste or just scraps I hate to throw away. 😁
I just love how you teach us to quilt. You always take the scary-ness out of it. You are an excellent teacher.
For me, it’s usually the fabric but sometimes I do have something in mind to make and then choose the fabric.
Donna, you have the dream space, fabric and machine for creating beautiful pieces.
Donna, I just love how your Rock Star quilt turned out. I really think deciding to 1) use the white-on-white material as the main background, 2) dividing the outside border in half and then inserting a patched strip made out of left over material into the middle of the outside border, and finally 3) choosing the very pretty backing and then inserting another strip of patched pieces from the quilt ... were all decision that were truly inspired. The orginal quilt pattern, jellyroll fabric, and the two solid backgroud fabric selected were vibrant and coordinated beautifully. I was, however, excited and and relieved that you brilliantly intervened with just the right colors, to give the eyes a place to rest in the process of taking in the intensity of colors in the solid borders and the printed stars so that each aspect could be appreciated for its individual beauty. Then, when I saw how you choose to create the pieced strips from the leftover printed fabric, and placed them on the outside border and also ingeniously inserted another pieced strip with the completely different softer print chosen as backing...I truly wanted to stand up a cheer. These choices showed how so many gorgeous fabrics in a dynamic design could be brought together in a balanced, cohesive and totally unique way. You really are a brilliant designer and a meticulous artist that creates truly beautiful quilted works of art. I was grateful when you took the time to show us how you had made the strips used on the front and back, and surprised that when the quilt was completed our quilting lesson was still upper most in your mind. I learned so much tonight and there were times when I was on the edge of my seat...feeling a tad tense hoping it would all work out. And, as always, you showed how easy intricate, detailed work can be accomplished while still
being able to make the quilt realize its
full potential. Donna, you are a Rock Star in the World of Quilting. I hope you
keep this quilt for yourself to enjoy! I really do not know how you can give any of your beautiful quilts away. I believe we all feel the loving, generous, encouragement being given to all of your subscribers/students/patrons with each quilt you give. I am sure that each person who receives your gifted
quilt cherishes your kindness and this beautiful work of art. Thank you for all
you do to help bring such joyful creativity into our own lives and in this
way help us follow your example and
pass along the love that comes with every quilt, runner, pillow, frog, tree skirt...made. Sincerely, Anita
P.S. I haven't forgot your husband Matt, your Son the photographer and all of the hard working Angels that are Jordan Fabrics. I am grateful to each of
you for making your company and your channel work so beautifully and provide the platform for such important and love to being shared. ❤❤
I quite often pick my fabrics first and then hunt for a pattern however, I also have several patterns with me when I shop for fabric. I agree with Rhonda's reply whole-heartily; couldn't have said it better. It irritates me when I'm told I 'have to have' a particular ruler to make a pattern. Donna will show you what both rulers can do and let you decide which is best for you, which I respect and I will happily support Jordan Fabrics.
Heather from Australia. I love the way you pick colours and your videos have helped a beginner like me learn so much,,
Thanks Donna for keeping me outside my comfort zones. I think this helps me to be a better quilter.
This video was one surprise after another! I wasn't excited with the pattern choice and even less excited about the jelly roll. I was horrified by the amount of waste and mentally shouted "NO WAY!" as fabric is far too expensive for that kind of trimming.
However, as usual, Donna turns the whole quilt into something wonderful AND manages to eliminate some of the waste just by making simple changes. THEN, the final surprise is a very generous GIVEAWAY for some very lucky person. I wish them well!
Parrots and monkeys and tigers, oh my. Love the fabric.
So true, for me it's the fabric that grabs me and then I find a pattern that works. I imagine many quilters are the same. That's why we all have such amazing stashes that seem to grow all by themselves.
Both ways, but mostly I’m drawn to the fabric. Thanks for all your wonderful quilting videos. Having fun these days with making quilts for my 8 grandchildren and for my niece who is getting married.
Mrs. Donna, Thank you for showing us how to square up our squares correctly!
Always learn something new when I watch. Donna is a great teacher.
Donna, I could sit here and watch, listen and learn from you all day long. Thank you for all you do for all of us out here. It doesn’t matter what pattern you choose, your finished quilt is always beautiful. I wish there was a way to see all of the patterns from Cozy Quilts (I think that’s the name??) please…you, Matt, your family and of course the Jordan Fabrics crew thank you and have a very blessed day.
BEAUTIFUL quilt Miss Donna.........Love watching you every evening.....Thanks and God Bless you and your family♥
I have been quilting since 2006, but just started watching your videos. You are an excellent teacher and I am going to utilize some of your videos to show in our community quilting group for the ladies who struggle. The patterns are really easy to use and the patterns, although they look hard , they are quite simple.
Boy, I really liked the quilt you made- "Rock Stars" - fun and cheerful and I likd the various colors and especially the birds prints- It was fun and your utorial goes hrough he beginnbg and end- thank you again, Donna and Matt- I love it💕
Hello to all the people at Jordens fabrics, like always I’m never disappointed with your videos,best teacher I’m getting better with my 🙌 so will be sowing very soon.I love watching your videos and spending time with your reading every e-Mail enjoying every moment.Thank you very much for all the work you’ve presented.
What a great quilt! And a $250 gift cert!! Yaya!
Donna is great at making complicated looking quilt patterns approachable and doable. I would not have chosen the pattern just looking at the pattern. However, Donna's choice of fabrics and her clear and simple instructions makes the process less daunting. Thank you Donna for keeping it simple and encouraging me to get outside my comfort zone. Love the quilt, especially the fabrics and the pieced borders.
Sometimes I pick my quilts based on fabrics and sometimes I pick based on patterns. It's really just whatever speaks to me. I absolutely love your videos. I have learned so much from you. I just recently ordered some holiday layer cakes from you and am working with them now. I love shopping your website for both fabrics and patterns. Also, I appreciate that you have so many free patterns and have made several of them as well. Thanks again!
I absolutely love jow she teaches. So plain, yet informative. She tells you every step and not too fast. Thank you, Donna. And the camera work, filming, is great!!
*how
Donna, you're the rock star! Many thanks for all your hard work and attention to every detail.
Out of all the tutorials on TH-cam...I love to watch Donna's tutorials because she explains everything step by step and even shows you how to cut and sew all the patterns together. I have learned so much by watching her tutorials. Though I haven't won a give away yet but I'm sure one day I'll get lucky... ☺️❤️. Keep up the good work ...I just wish you weren't so far away. I live on San Antonio, Tx.
Love todays quilt. You and Matt are so generous. Blessings on you and your family plus your business.
I like the way Donna showing use everything todo with the Quality it’s amazing
Donna, I really like this one in the bright colors.
i think that your choice of an almost white on the triangle was perfect it made the center colors pop! As you were cutting the squares I thought what a waste of fabric and then you surprised me at the end. Perfect for those of us who hat to waste fabric. You and the crew do such a professional job that watching you is easy. It has and, I am sure in the future, will encourage me to try more with my quilting dreams.
What a generous give away. I sure hope that I am the one chosen but I will be happy for anyone else.
The majority of the time, I pick fabric without having a pattern in mind, mostly just because I like fabric….. a few times I’ve picked fabric with a certain pattern already in mind!! Thank you for all your tutorials, I’ve been binging them from the beginning!!!
Wow, Rock Star really lives up to its name, so do you! I just love your calm instructions. You provide lots of information in a short amount of time. I could watch hours of the longarm. ❤😊❤
I have just returned to quilting after 30 years of being away. So many things have changed over the years. We didn't have jelly rolls, layer cakes or charm packs back then. Watching Donna's videos have really helped me to understand this foreign language. I'm now retired and ready to get started. Thanks Donna for explaining so well the ins and outs of quilting.
Love the Rock Star. Sometimes I start with a pattern, sometimes I start with the fabric and look for a pattern.
As others have stated, I wouldn’t have chosen this pattern due to the picture on the front. Once you made it with vibrant colors, I was sold. When deciding on a project, I do both. I see fabric I really love and may buy it, then pick a pattern. But I also see patterns I like (especially baby quilts) and then choose the fabric. Always love your videos and hope some day you will reopen the shop and I can visit. Thanks for all the great work.
You show making quilts in terms even a beginner can follow. Your choice of fabrics and patterns are spot on! Love watching you.
I do not normally like orange or yellow, but this quilt is gorgeous! Bright, happy and joyful.
I'm the same way most of the time but, I've fell in love with the vintage looking quilts and most of them use the calico prints and they just don't look right without all the colors. You're right, they do look bright, happy and joyful, great description!
Using the white background really works here; it makes the blocks stand out. Like putting a large mat around a framed picture or photo. I’ve been purchasing only fat quarter bundles lately but I think a Kaffe Fassett roll is calling my name for this pattern. Thanks Donna! 😀
Love watching you quilt! You make it look so easy whatever size you do! But I could watch ALL DAY YOUR LONG ARM MACHINE! AWESOME!!
Another beautiful quilt by Miss Donna! I’m glad you switched out the setting triangles for the white color. To me it really makes the blocks pop. This video’s give away is incredible! Thanks for the opportunity to try to win. So very kind and generous of you.
Oh my word! l'm getting inspiration for a baby quilt from your color combos. Yellow is usually my go-to color for baby quilts [in my day you didn't know sex B4]...bright cheerful colors to welcome the newborn!
What a very happy quilt! You are such an excellent teacher! Thank you for giving us the confidence to try new things!!! Additionally, thank you for the wonderful opportunity to win the gift certificate❤️
Thank you Donna for the opportunities. I love watching these vids of yours. You explain everything just like the others say very very well. 💚
I think watching Donna's tutorials makes me more efficient in terms of fabric purchase, because l get a sense of how much l'm going to need before l shop. Otherwise, it's fabric first and pattern second (which sometimes produces an "oops"). 😂
I agree with Rhonda! Thank you for using tools we all may have Donna! I wish I could find the video where you shared how to strip tube without a strip tube ruler🤷♀️ so many videos I've seen from you 😂 after hours I still am not sure which one. Thank you Mat & Donna for such an awesome gift your sharing. Yes yes, the quilts , oh I'd adore one. I mean come on they are all gorgeous and long armed💁♀️ I don't have the ability to do that in my home.. gorgeous! But for one who's struggled to aquire the amazing things>>FABRIC 😁 last we forget those fancy rulers n Notions that make light work of a quilters time.. well this is a game changer! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 🎊 TO THE WINNER IN ADVANCE, IT'S AWESOME🤗
I've made projects both ways. Sometimes I already have the fabric, then look for an appropriate pattern. Other times I have a pattern I want to make, so I need to shop for the fabrics. I love how your quilt turned out. The blocks really pop!
Thank you for such a generous giveaway! I love shopping at Jordan Fabrics!!
Happy Quilting!
I almost always buy fabric and then look through patterns until I find one that will work. Your tutorials are excellent, Donna.
🌸💕I love to watch you pick fabrics, sew and quilt. 🧵Thank you.🥰🇺🇸
The moment when that big machine starts quilting... mesmerising.
A great video and an awesome quilt, great nails too 💅🏼💖 Thank you Donna
Donna, I love the way you used those left over pieces for the border. It really pulled everything together nicely. I normally choose a fabric or precut that I like, and then have trouble figuring out what pattern to use! I'm just not very good at visualizing what fabric would look good in a particular pattern. After watching today's video I thought, "I wish I lived closer to your shop. I'm sure you would be a great help to me in putting things together." I love the way you walk us through the whole process. You are a great teacher and I love watching your videos. "Thank you" to you and Matt for being so generous in your giveaways.
I was shocked at the number of patterns you have in those file cabinets. I think I choose pattern first, and then I go to my stash to see if I can use something I already have. I was so excited tonight to find that you had posted a new quilt.
This is a very successful business with 35 employees. Not a hobby! I love her teaching methods, too.
Love how this quilt turned out. Cozy Quilt Designs have some awesome patterns!
A Rock Star Quilt from a Rock Star teacher! Thank you for all that you and your team do to make us better quilters. I love how you use up extra fabrics in borders and in the backing. I have started to do this also as a result of watching you - I am not a fan of wasting fabric. Keep the videos coming - I think I might have to retire earlier than I planned to get all of my planned quilts done!!
What an excellent teacher DJ is!! I have learned so much from watching her over the last several years, I like the fact she’s always taught us to use the tools we have, that is very much appreciated for many of us. Speciality rulers and such are good to have, and I’m guilty of owning several, but once the quilt is made they go back in the drawer and sometimes never pulled back out, as their use is limited. As far as do I choose the pattern or the fabric first, I’m def a choose the pattern first lady. This is a pretty quilt that she’s made this week, I personally probably wouldn’t have chose it, but maybe now I will after seeing hers. Btw, Donna looks exceptionally pretty today dressed in fall purple plaid & I love the nail color! The $250.00 gift certificate, is very generous of Jordan Fabrics I hope whoever wins it truly needs it. I have entered but I never win anything, but someone will be very luck. Hope everyone has a truly blessed day.💕
I am super bad. My daughter is 28 and I still have saved fabrics from when she was a child and I've never made a quilt. I just watch Donna sew. I love all the quilts she makes!
Thanks for the great video and Generous giveaway! I love your choice of the white edges and the scrappy strip on the border and back. You asked which comes first with us, the fabric or pattern. It varies. Maybe half and half.
Thank you Donna! I love, love your videos. I've only been quilting a couple of years and your videos are the first ones I found. I learned a lot from you! You rock Donna! 😊
I really like the pieced border. Breaks it up so nicely and ties everything together. ❤️
As someone who has sewn since age seven, mostly on 1941 and 1960 Singers I appreciate that Donna can create such beauties without needing a sewing machine that’s like a spaceship! (But I must confess that I’m obsessed with Jenny Doan’s hydroplane style steam iron!)
Love that quilt and the extra border on it too. I think putting the white around the blocks really changed it up and allowed the blocks to shine. Today's giveaway is also amazing.
I love fabric! Even years ago before I started sewing if I went in a quilting store I always came away with multiple beautiful fabrics I loved with no apparent plan! I love your videos, and just finished a huge King size quilt top for my bed. I went to the local quilt store today to discuss backing, batting, etc. and picked out the quilting pattern and thread. I am very excited! Thanks for all the great videos to help me learn more during the pandemic.
Sometimes I find fabric I just can't walk away from and then find a pattern to showcase the pattern. Other times, I find a great pattern and have to touch all of the fabric at a quilt store to find the perfect fabric for the pattern. Either way, beauty ensues!
Donna, you are my favorite teacher!! I spend hours at work listening to/watching your videos. I think I have downloaded every single one of your free patterns by now. I mostly pick out patterns first, then fabric. And I definitely go for more bold and bright colors rather than traditional colors. On the other hand, I have a ton of jelly rolls and charm packs that I have no plan for yet, so it's definitely 50/50 for me 😅
I love how the quilt came out. Donna, you made everything look so easy too. Thank you for another awesome video.
Beautiful colors in this quilt. Great size, too. I usually pick fabrics with no thought as to what I'm going to do with it. Then I see one of your videos and I'll go hunting for that one fabric. "I know it's in here somewhere." 😆
The orange drew me in right away. It turned out so bright and cheery. I love your videos. Thank you Donna and Matt for doing them!
I really like the cheerfulness of the fabric choice for this quilt. I usually purchase my fabric because I like the fabric, on occasion I purchase fabric with project in mind, so I purchase all the supplies at once. When I was just learning to quilt I was told to buy fabric that speaks to you so that's what I still do... there is a very loud conversation happening in my sewing room everyday!!! On this quilt I like the pieced border but I truly like how you used the extra pieces to make the accent stripe on the backing, I have wanted to attempt that as I hate to throw away leftover pieces or store them for a future project that I never get to do.
Great job. Even though it looks like any other tutorial by Jordan Fabrics, one always learns something new. Only "negative" thing is that the videos are getting shorter and it's all over when we start to discover the final project. Once again congratulations on the master video editor. Cheers!
You do an awesome job , Donna! After I watch your tutorials, I can feel confident I can make the quilt from the tutorial. Any questions I can always bring up your tutorials again. Thank you!
I have learned so much from your tutorials and your generosity of giving quilts or gift certificates is amazing. May your business and you be blessed beyond imagination.
Am I the only one out there that feels validated when my “THREAD CHOICE” (when it comes time for quilting) is the same one that Donna finally decides on? Hahaha…LOVE THIS QUILT! Thanks Miss Donna🥰
Good afternoon Donna and all the Jordan family, Love the design of this lovely quilt and i have just the fabric sitting behind me. Although i'm not that courageous in colour picking as you are flower, i have got Peter Rabbit summer fabric that i have been searching for a pattern for, for my baby granddaughters' granny Phee hugging quilt. I just loved the material when i seen it, but i have been stuck on the right pattern and i think i have now found it. I love to buy fat quarter bundles and metre bundles of fabric, so that i can have enough to make a twin bed size if not bigger and Peter Rabbit never goes out of date no matter the generation. Thank you for continuing to bring us Joy from Jordan's, i know that i am not the only one who would watch you video after video because of your style of teaching. You bring us beauty and reasoning, with a small dash of wonder in every video that you bring to us and we so very, very much appreciate all that you and Matt bring to our daily lives. Have a great week flower and crafty hugs being sent to you all, from Norah, Glenochil Village, Scotland
Norah ... '' beauty and reasoning, with a small dash of wonder in every video'' you said it perfectly!
I pick the fabric first, therefore have more fabric than I can use in a lifetime lol. Thanks Donna, for another fabulous tutorial. I love that you get down to business of picking fabric, patterns and give examples of each step❤️🌸
Another wonderful tutorial…I always walk away thinking “I can do this” but so intimidated with cutting fabric…seems I never end up with a right size block then I have to fudge things…would love a tutorial on cutting precuts as well as fabric off the bolt. I’m such a fan and love everything I purchase from Jordan Fabrics!
Beautiful! You always pick the perfect colors! Thank you for your videos, they are always so inspiring.
Fabric First Every time! Then choose a pattern based on how much time I want to invest , new skills, and how much I want to show off the fabric. Agreed with your thought process on this one! Would love more videos with you choosing fabric first and then pattern :)
I always LOVE watching your quilting process from start to finish. Your selection of fabrics, pattern, and then quilting stitching is truly inspiring.
You make it look effortless, but I know from my limited expertise that you are incredibly talented. I would love to be within shopping distance as your store is stocked with such beautiful fabrics. My local shops never have so many gorgeous color choices of jelly rolls with coordinating yardage to complete the project. My dream space! Thank you for all the ‘tips’ you always throw in. Very helpful!
