Donna, when my mom passed about 10 years ago I lost all urge to sew at all. Then I came across one of your videos about 4 months ago and you totally engaged me - you brought me right back to my love of fabrics. I have completed two quilt tops and am working on two more. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos - they really are wonderful and so worth all of the time and effort you all put into them. Also, thank you for reminding me how much I love quilting - it was a craft my mom and I shared 🧵
I’m so delighted to read this! I got my love of quilting from my maternal Grandma Knowles. Quilting has blessed my life so much, mostly because it is such an incredible way to let family and friends know I love them. Congratulations on having two tops done and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Donna and Jordan Fabrics are the ‘real deal’. I couldn’t possibly come up with enough adjectives to describe their awesomeness. But as a retired registered nurse who has worked in my profession for 53 years, I believe that this family promotes as much ‘healing’ as the health industry. I also include one other quilting company with this self stated honor. My belief is that they impact so many lives with healing, encouragement and love that they are actually healing practitioners. Again, I’m ‘tickled pink’ as my grandmother would have said to start my day with this wonderful story.
Quilt Gram I was touched by reading your message. I started quitting only a year ago, and have completed 4 quilts. I was inspired to start by watching Donna, and all the Jordan Fabric videos. My hope is to one day complete a “perfect “ quilt. After raising 5 children also working in health care. I was suffering from empty nest and found making quilts eased that horrible sadness. I find today it helps me escape the fear and anxiety as my son is a respiratory therapist working in COVID ICU, and my daughter is a doctor. If we can’t be together during this time making quilts for my children helps remind them after a long stressful day. Your Mom loves you and I’m so incredibly proud of you. Your words are so true quilts have love and healing powers. God Bless.
I loved your comment. Two years ago I made a quilt for my son’s death bed. It was all half square triangles arranged into stars. I have not been able to sew much since then. But watching these amazing videos encourages me also. My whole life is disorganized right now but I know I will sew again and I love this quilt! God bless. And I’m thanking Donna again for a wonderful video.
This is by far one of my favorite tutorials you have so many good tips you’re so calm and it is so easy to follow your instructions. I love all your tutorials. I’ve watched them all many times over and over. I am just now getting back into quilting because I have some free time. My mother-in-law was a wonderful quilter and taught me a lot, but I’ve learned more from you than I learned from her. I’m going to try to learn some techniques that I can pass on to my niece to carry on the family tradition of quilting. My husband passed away seven months ago and now I’m really getting back into all my crafting fun. Thank you so muchfor your wonderful tutorials and descriptions of fabrics and techniques. Happy quilting.
Donna, it's so refreshing to hear someone say they would rather enjoy the process than worry over the small imperfections. I am the same way. I will be trying this project, love it.
I like that you showed the imperfection. I've always seen your quilts as pretty perfect. It's nice to hear it's better to enjoy it than stress about perfection.
Yes, it is so refreshing! Made me laugh when she said, “Hope and sew.” In truth, the person who is getting the quilt will love ❤️ it no matter what! They will be touched just that you made it for them!
You are a great teacher! I am going to tell my youngest sister about you~~~she is a newbie! She cracks me up as she is actually going to quilt shops and buying fabrics!
HI DONA, THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO. I NEVER HAD ANY IDEA OF HOW TO SEW A QUILT. UNTIL I WATCHED YOU PROFFESSIOALLY DEMONSTRATING IT. .I LOVE IT. FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA . .😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The first time I tried to make a quilt there was no internet and I didn't know anyone who quilted. I only saw quilts on tv and I thought they were beautiful. Now there are so many resources to learn like this wonderful channel. I wish I could go to your store, it's like fabric heaven!
Same with me. There was one quilting show on in the morning the lady's name was Alex. I would buy books at joanns which is the only fabric store we have. I too would love to go to their store but 2,500 miles is a bit far.
Love your tutorials. This would be a great quilt for my little grandsons(I have a bunch) I can give them hugs and kisses every night, even when they are far away or get "to grown up" for them.😊 Thank you Donna and co.
I grew up with a family who appreciated the talent behind a quilt but never quilted. We always purchased them. I just completed my first ever quilt for my mother for mother's day (canadian) and had a long armed finish it for me. It's all because of your videos. Now I'm starting my sisters christmas present with fabrics I purchased today from your shop lol gunna try a log cabin and then km ironing on pictures of her animals and her wedding day. All because of your videos. Thank younfornjntroducjng me to this amazing world.
The fabric you chose is just beautiful in this pattern and it's hard to believe this is just half square triangles. Your dress is also very pretty today. Thanks for sharing.
I love your tutorial. I lost my love for quilting because my mentor made me feel close was never good enough. Joy killer. I really think I will try this.
Estoy viendo por primera vez sus videos .No entiendo su idioma ,pero aun asi solo viendo estoy aprendiendo.Muchas gracias es usted una muy buena maestra
I have to say I haven’t sewn much these last few months - just didn’t feel up to it - but this pattern (and big reward for simple block ) has me truly motivated- Thank you !! You are very much blessed
I love the way you teach and I love all of your quilts but what I don't love as a quilter on a budget is most of the patterns you use have to be purchased.I could not afford to buy all the patterns that you use. you should do more of your own and more free patterns for us new Quilters and us quilters on a budget.
@@patricejohnson3819 , you do realize that she makes her living doing this? She does have a lot of free patterns on the web site, but she has to make some money to live on, like the rest of us.
@@patricejohnson3819 Hi, Patrice. Isn't Donna an amazing teacher and quilter! Donna has over 125 FREE patterns on her Jordan Fabrics website. Here is the link to the free patterns. jordanfabrics.com/pages/free-patterns-thumbnails - I know that will keep me busy for a long time. Hope this helps.
Hi Donna I am just a beginner on my tablet. Please excuse any mistakes. I found you on u tube, that was my lucky day. What a beautiful shop you have and all the fantastic quilts, I am just out of mine so happy !!!!!. You have an oldie going to start quilting again !!!!!! . From Canada Thank you so much
That is so pretty and as a newbie I really appreciate you teaching me how to make something so beautiful that looks so difficult look so easy to do. Donna just in case you do not hear it enough I want to say a HUGE thank you for all the joy and knowledge you share about quilting with us. You truly are an angel for sharing your talent with us.
I love watching your video's. I haven't sewn in 40 years, I bought a new machine and started making masks for my family. I've started dabbling in quilting and made my daughter the 10 minute table runner and quilted it. She loved it. You are a real inspiration and a great teacher. I've learned so much which helps me bring I am an Assistant Superintendent in our Fairs Needlework Dept. I'm hoping one day to make a trip south to your store. Thank you so much for your video's.
I started making this quilt a few days ago in reds, blacks and whites. I had never done HST before and now I have made a total of 256! Wow, I think I'm a pro at them by now. I've finished 3 whole blocks and messed up the direction on two, had to pick those and restitch them. I ended up completing one block and hanging it up on my wall as a reference. This pattern is fun and I am really enjoying myself with it.
Thank you so much for starting a series of these "beginner friendly" quilting videos. These last months I've been so busy with sewing masks to give away and through it all, your channel has given me so much inspiration to get busy quilting.
Donna. You look so beautiful, and your spirit comes right through the screen, as I watch you showing us your craft. Thank you for continuing to do your tutorials. Love this quilt. Congratulations to you, Matt, and the rest of the Jordan family for continuing your great business through all the challenges today. Beautiful videos, and awesome deals. As an older gal, I need to stick around home more, and it helps to have your videos. Thanks so much.
Donna, I just have to say that I love your hair!! The colour is beautiful and really suits you. Thanks for your wonderful tutorials. You've been a real inspiration and are a wonderful teacher.
Hi Donna, I’ve been watching your channel for a while but as I don’t have access to a long arm I thought I could not make a quilt, until I saw your tutorial for hand tying so I plucked up the courage to give it a go.
I could watch your "You Tube" videos all day long. I also wish I had the work space you have! Every pattern you do is so orderly, I'm just amazed! Please continue doing them! And stay safe!
Donna, you are a wonderful teacher. 1. You are a consistent source I personally use when I am asked who to watch regarding quilt tutorials 2. step-by-step instructions 3. tips to follow. I am a rookie by your standards. I have completed over 55 quilts to date, including monsters 128x128. I currently am teaching 2 students.

Take a bow, Donna. Susan Bordun
I have to add that this was the first quilting video I'd ever watched. You astounded me with how easy you made it seem!! I started quilting in Mar last year making baby quilts for the Hope Pregnancy Center here. But this video made me feel like I could actually make a "real" quilt. It got me hooked on you! LOL I've been watching you ever since I love love love how you make each quilt seam "doable," and I appreciate you for that!
Look how pretty your white & silver hair is!! I stopped fighting my natural hair color on my 50th birthday when I realized I had been covering up my white and silver hair for over half my life. Growing it out is hard, but each compliment fueled my decision for another month! I think it’s pretty cool that silver is in now. Most of my compliments come from young women, well, and older men.
I am making my first quilt after watching about 100 videos. This one put me into action though. I bought my christmas fabric but I'm using some cheaper fabric to create a sample quilt first. the first 2 blocks took me 2 days! The 3rd took me 30 minutes. I am an expert seam ripper!! Thanks and I told the Quilt Factory to thank you too because I went ahead and purchased the pattern at full price to give them and you credit!
I made this a few years ago using Christmas Fabric,it turned out nice, I gave it to a friend in a nursing home, I am thinking on making it with scrap fabric, going to give it a try, it is a easy pattern.
Donna your videos are so educational.....thank you so much for explaining your reason for doing each step....I love , love the weight on the ruler, the older you get the less strength you have for holding the ruler this is such a good technique....thanks again...God Bless
Wow! You are astounding! How you teach is astounding! How positive and encouraging you are is astounding! How much knowledge and experience you have is astounding! And how creative and skillful you are is astounding! Amazing! And I'm really enjoying learning, thank you so much and God bless!
I just started making some half square triangles. I keep seeing more and more beautiful quilts using them. So many quilt pattern choices! As a plus, I get my new sewing machine this week!
My favorite thing in the world is Saturday morning coffee watching your videos. My first quilt was a log cabin done with two packages from you I bought at my first quilt show.
Donna I love your quilts. Your tutorials are the reason I started quilting. I’m very new at quilting but I absolutely love it. I wanted to say Thank You for all you have done for me. You teach so wonderful, so clear and make it so understandable for us. 🙏🏻💕
I tried all sorts of tricks to stop my long ruler swivelling, including sanding the back to make it non-slip. Now I have started using a weight and such a difference it has made. Thank you for this top tip!
I love the machine you finished the quilt on and the patterns it uses and I don't access to such a machine and I am a beginner quilter and I already have squares which was left by my grandmother and I want to use them to make a quilt she didn't get to complete herself and then work on one I want to do from scratch and see how it looks. Your video have given me some of the information I need and I will use this to decide how I am going to put this quilt together.
I’ve managed to make a small version of this as MY first ever quilt. It’s a great confidence booster to know I’ve achieved it. Donna is great isn’t she!
Hi Donna like this quilt pattern I all ready have my squares sewed up from a previous project . Thanks for all your tutorials really appreciate them and your hair looks really great by the way happy quilting.
Hi , my name is Erika ....i from Brazil ....... I do not understand English. I like the way it teaches because I can learn even without understanding English ................ I used the google translator. Gosto muito dos seus videos !

I'm watching from Colorado. I need to get done with the projects I'm doing right now, so that I can start making this quilt. Oh I can't wait! Love this tutorial. It's easy to follow. Thanks Donna for sharing your many wonderful tutorials!
Donna, you have helped my quilting tremendously! You are such a good teacher that I am rocking my current quilt...all because of you and your videos!♥️👍😎
I’m new to quilting and made a tiny version of this as my very first quilt. Donna is such a good teacher, she has given me so much confidence with her lovely manner and superb skills.
Donna is one of the best quilt instructor around. Talks very slow and shows us all the details. Thank you.

I loved how you talked about having fun making the quilt and not obsessing over small imperfections!!
That’s my motto as a new sewer; “Hope and sew”, sew and hope it turns out-and if not, oh well. Looks good to me!
i am not a quilter but i enjoy your videos very much...
Now you can become a quilter like the rest of us! Happy quilting!!💕💕💕
Donna, it's so refreshing to hear someone say they would rather enjoy the process than worry over the small imperfections. I am the same way. I will be trying this project, love it.
I can't believe this gorgeous quilt was just made with half square triangles. Talk about easy mindless sewing. I love it❗
Yep, I bought the pattern.
Donna have had another look 😱 now i see how the blocks worked. Oops. I like the way your relaxed way way of working and no stress. Thank you again.
You are the BEST Teacher!
I like that you showed the imperfection. I've always seen your quilts as pretty perfect. It's nice to hear it's better to enjoy it than stress about perfection.

Love it , thinking about Christmas in July.
This is such a pretty quilt! I like that is one block over and over. Would definitely look like it was super complicated but totally not.
Gorgeous quilt!!! Love your videos!!!
Fantastic tutorial, very helpful, but also a fantastic dress!
I just started making some half square triangles. I keep seeing more and more beautiful quilts using them. So many quilt pattern choices! As a plus, I get my new sewing machine this week!
Lucky you! What did you choose?
Thanks for another great quilt. Beautiful! Have to tell you though-really like your dress!
I love the sound of the rotary cutter.
I just received your shipment of fabric for this one so cannot wait to get busy on it.
My favorite thing in the world is Saturday morning coffee watching your videos. My first quilt was a log cabin done with two packages from you I bought at my first quilt show.
Donna I love your quilts. Your tutorials are the reason I started quilting. I’m very new at quilting but I absolutely love it. I wanted to say Thank You for all you have done for me. You teach so wonderful, so clear and make it so understandable for us. 🙏🏻💕
I tried all sorts of tricks to stop my long ruler swivelling, including sanding the back to make it non-slip. Now I have started using a weight and such a difference it has made. Thank you for this top tip!
Just put a bit of clear medical tape on the underside...this will keep it from slipping off your mark and does not hinder what you are seeing.
It's clear for me..... I'll to try made it. Thank you Donna.... 😍😍😍
Wonderful teaching!!🤗
I love the machine you finished the quilt on and the patterns it uses and I don't access to such a machine and I am a beginner quilter and I already have squares which was left by my grandmother and I want to use them to make a quilt she didn't get to complete herself and then work on one I want to do from scratch and see how it looks. Your video have given me some of the information I need and I will use this to decide how I am going to put this quilt together.
This looks like an excellent first REAL quilt for me to try. Thank you🤗
I’ve managed to make a small version of this as MY first ever quilt. It’s a great confidence booster to know I’ve achieved it. Donna is great isn’t she!
Those fabrics are beautiful
