I really loved your video!!

[@RanchCamelot]

Spend my Sunday afternoon creating several of your darling bookmarks. So fun! I'll be making more for gifts, and myself. Thank-you for your clear, creative video.

[@eileenfb1948]

I love the idea of practicing skills on a small project. The book mark looks really nice. Maybe I could free motion a big heart - Valentine's Day is not far away.

[@131dyana]

Thank you.

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

So cute! Thanks for posting!

[@lindapucillo3493]

I never thought to use pinking shears on the edges. Great tip! Great project for stocking stuffers. Thanks!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Great gift idea

[@patriciaguevara8793]

This is wonderful! All my daughters and grandkids read - I’m making them all (9 total) book pillows for Christmas and this will be a perfect compliment to go with all of them. Thank you!

[@isabellaliberatoisabella5076]

Good idea. thank you

[@lindadechow3703]

I love making bookmarks and these are really nice. Easy peasy as I am taking a break from my other quilting. I make scrap ribbons, which work great on my bookmarks, too. Uses more scraps. Thanks nice tutorial.

[@cindymcfarland4686]

You could quilt the pieces with decorative stitches, also. This is a cute idea for when you want to mindlessly sew something and be creative. Also a good project for kids learning to sew.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

That's a great idea!

[@Angel283]

One of the BEST tutorial videos I've seen! Clear concise instructions :) Subbed!!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Princess_Buttertart]

Great tutorial! I am a new sewer and one of my goals is to replace some gorgeous quilted bookmarks that I bought, then lost :(. I had no idea how to go about making them and now I do! Also I have been trying to learn how to piece together a project and it has been so confusing. This makes it look easy. Thank you!

[@karenlittle2905]

Thank you for this excellent video. I still have time to make a few of these -- after all its ONLY December 23!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You can do it!

[@kinsale23]

With such a small piece why didn’t you have your backing fabric attached when you were doing the quilting since you pinked the edges in the end?

[@sandramacduff2817]

How are you loving your continental M7…Just bought one and LOVE it!!! Trying to decide if I keep or sell my 9400

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I really like the M7 but I still have a 9450 as well. The M7 is just too big to cart around to retreats so the 9450 is easier for that. I wouldn't sell the 9400 as it is a good backup machine is you need to service the M7 or, like I often do, I have the M7 set up for free motion quilting and the 9450 for piecing. Yes, I'm spoiled ;)
