I followed Melanie from her first videos. She was a great teacher. I learned so much from her about quilting 😢 Will continue to watch her videos, pray for your family, and remember we will see her again 🙏🏽
@Cynthia Fed this is so sad I had just subscribed to the channel, after taking up quilting recently. Awe. So young........I was messaging to find out what she used to stick the demo the shapes on?
I can across this account yesterday while searching for some suggestions on half square triangles… I am fairly new to quilting. This was the first of Melanie’s videos I had ever seen and I was immediately vibing with her account. I actually thought in my head… how is it I have not come across any other videos yet?! I am on TH-cam every day looking for quilting tips, tricks and tutorials. As soon as I finished watching this video, I immediately gave it the thumbs up and subscribed to this channel! Then of course I had to go check out all of the other videos she had posted and came across the story of her life and her passing… I could not stop bawling… I am so grateful that this channel is still up and that she still has a way to connect with her crafty friends here. Of course I never knew her, but I can tell you that her smile was contagious, and she seemed to be a warrior in her fight for life. I am also certain she is missed by many.::
This is a great reminder of how versatile the 1/2 square triangle is. Rest In Peace Melanie, your legacy lives on in Gods creative world. I hope your family is doing ok, as time and birthdays come and go, you are forever in the hearts of family, friends and strangers like me.You are serving even in death. I plan to meet you some day, “when the roll is called up yonder” cause I’ll be there.
She was amazing. I continue to be inspired by her knowledge and creativity. Wish I had known her in real life, I only started quilting after she passed, sad. I love her videos.
Thank you! My head is spinning with the possibilities. My mom has some early cognitive issues. She has made many beautiful quilts for all of us. But she's not doing it anymore. She has a huge stash of partially completed projects, including a large number of half triangle squares. I'm going to make something, or a few somethings, from her pieces, and that way it's a wonderful collaboration.
@@Zzzzzzzzz216 I haven't yet figured out how best to use her HSTs, but I've been using some of her fabric in other projects like a lap quilt, some masks. Right now I'm working on a basic patchwork with flannels. It's super soft!
Wow and double wow. I am still in the middle of watching your video, but have stopped to say a big THANK YOU. You have totally inspired me, this is without doubt something I will try over the next few weeks. Happy quilting x
You are an angel Mel! I am about to stsrt cutting fabric for my first quilt and i was loosing momentum bc I was getting caught up in having my design first. After watching this single video, I feel confident and excited again to play with the contrast designs. Thank you!
I found this video when I was looking for a project for my latest grand baby. It turned out so pretty, I’m making another one just for fun. All these layouts are fabulous- it’s hard to make just one 😄
Thank you! This the best description of how to look at possibilities with regard to simple shapes in patchwork. Using the same blocks to show the versatility over many styles is inspired.
That is just what I do when I take a bite out of my chocolates...I come up with so many designs as the colorful fillings pop! I LOVE YOUR SWIFT LAYOUTS OF THE FAMOUS HALF SQUARES TRIANGLES
Thank you so much, Melanie. I’ve saved your video and I’m going to try them all. I loved no 9 especially. No more buying templates to make HST’s Amazing! I’m a beginner and this is just what I needed! Once again, thank you so much 😊
Your videos have helped me so much. You explain things in a way that I can understand it easily. I'm just starting out and I used your "my first quilt" series as a guide. I'm happy with my results!
Your amazing!!! I just started kinda self teaching 🤦♀️ you’ve totally opened my mind with possibilities. Thank you 🙏🏻 as I commented before I just tuned in to your videos. You have a gift to share with so many. Faith hope you will persevere in Gods name 💖
Thank you I'm new at quilting and I love the half square triangles love love love them so now I have ideas for more lay outs. You explain things so nicely
Always love your quilting videos- you were essentially my quilting teacher when I first began! 😆 Your ‘first quilt’ series got me started and a year and a half-ish later I just purchased my “big girl” quilting machine (a Juki- arrives tomorrow!) and love it more than ever. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge! I will forever be grateful! 💗
LOVE how you showed different layouts using same HST but not necessarily using specific coordinating chosen fabrics. It mixes it up , charm packs which is exactly what I was looking for as a very novice, beginner quilter. TYSM!!! Those work out perfectly for the squares that I have as I don't have one or two specific patterns to use
There are endless possibilities with these squares. I could see how you could use the different patterns in one quilt. Thanks so much for sharing. Love the colors!
I just learnt how to put together half square triangles! This was super helpful for a newbie like me. I want to make a pretty quilt and these are easy to master! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Melanie ~ I have literally been subscribed to you for years! I believe you were actually the first crafter/quilter/sewer I watched way back when! I love your style :) I am so glad to be back into my quilting after a few years away and I just had to come and watch some of your videos first!! Love ya, girl! Peace and Blessings!! This was such a great video idea ~ Thanks for taking the time to create it!
I followed Melanie from her first videos. She was a great teacher. I learned so much from her about quilting 😢 Will continue to watch her videos, pray for your family, and remember we will see her again 🙏🏽
Thank you, Melanie. And thank you, dear family, for keeping the videos and Melanie’s channel available to us. Melanie, you lift me up!
Even though you are eternally resting you continue to teach through your videos. thank you for continuing to inspire!
What do you mean?
@@hazelann63 Melanie passed away in 2022.
@Cynthia Fed this is so sad I had just subscribed to the channel, after taking up quilting recently. Awe. So young........I was messaging to find out what she used to stick the demo the shapes on?
Awe how sad!
Rest in peace.
I still come to Melanie’s channel for ideas. ❤
You are truly missed Melanie. ❤️🙏🏽

Lana Poulliot Lovely idea, how did you get on with it?

A beautiful way to honor your mom
At 70, Melanie taught me to sew - I miss her.
I'm a beginner quilter, and this was amazing to me! By the time you got to #7 I was saying WOW... This was so helpful. I subscribed.
