    Angela, your quilting videos are definitely my therapy. I tend to over critique my work, but you ake me feel good about what I've done.

    So happy to have this challenge! To be able to zero in on the elongated swirl especially will add so much versatility to my quilting! Thank you as always for all that you do for us free motion perfection wannabees.

    I have signed up for my first quilt along..I just got my long arm and I am a newby. Nervous but excited. My birthday is in January so this is my birthday gift to me! Thank you for the encouragement.. Love your videos.

    I was undecided on how to quilt my Chandelier until I saw your Dot to Dot videos. It was the perfect way to quilt this. When I taught the class, I was complemented on my quilting. That just doesn’t happen but it has lately. I do have your books and downloads-free and thrifty. I am probably going to order the panel this time because it’s so beautiful.

    I love swirls. Your instruction in previous videos has made me a confident quilter. Thank you! I think the rainbow fabrics would make a beautiful cathedral window quilt.

    Watching your videos really inspired me to start quilting (loved your Midnight Quilt Show series!). The FMQ step of the quilting process is definitely my achilles heel, so I am so amazed every time I see you do it with such ease. I know I just need to do it and practice more at it. I am excited to try this new challenge. Thanks for all you do for the quilting community.

  • @evelyndesjardins8551

    I have loved everyone of your challenges. Thank you for being so generous with your time and experience. I have learned to free motion quilt from you and am extremely grateful. The fabric bundle is so beautiful! I used to have such a hard time with swirls but with practice, your teaching, tricks and tips and your encouragement, my swirls look so much better. Still need more improvement so I welcome this new challenge and look forward to learning even more to get better! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • @CarolCook-sn8ne
    @CarolCook-sn8ne 2 місяці тому

    I'm so excited for this latest challenge. I attempted the swirl chain on my latest quilt, and it got easier the more I used it. I have much more to learn. Thank you for doing these quilting alongs. It is so helpful to practice new designs and motifs.

  • @deborahsoutar6308
    @deborahsoutar6308 2 місяці тому

    What have I learned from Angela (paraphrased): "The only thing better than perfect is finished", "don't be so hard on yourself", "when you step back and look at it, you won't see the mistake you're obsessing over", " if you make a mistake just keep going, quilt all around it, and only you will probably know it's there", "people will notice an empty space faster than a mistake", "we're going to get you through the SEA OF SUCK"( I think I love this one the most). Thanks Angela, you've really been an inspiration to me. I reference your videos almost every time I'm designing the quilting for a quilt. I love swirls and the swirl meander but the elongated ones are kicking my keister, so I guess I'll have to join this quilt along.

    @dawnesmith-sliming7004 2 місяці тому

    What an exciting challenge! I agree with you that all quilts can use some swirls. Even though this is the #1 FMQ motif I struggle with. Lol. The upcoming challenge will definitely help me a LOT. Thank you for all your prep in order to teach the rest of us. It’s appreciated.

  • @paulahutt4116

  • @carolward3043
    @carolward3043 2 місяці тому

    I'm excited about this new challenge as swirls are not my best quilting skill. I have learned so much from your previous challenges! I am a retired teacher and picked up quilting after I retired. You are an excellent teacher and if it wasn't for your videos I don't think I would have ever been able to tackle the quilting part. You help me not to be afraid to try different designs. Now it is one of my favorite things to do! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and expertise and making it so much fun!

A beautiful bundle of fat quarters would be so fun to add more to my challenge quilts. 🤞 Thank you for all you do to help quilters and our community! One day I’d love to visit your store; maybe during your Walk Around Town days! ❤

    Swirls - my knees quake, and my hands shake with the thought of swirls. I really, really want to conquer those swirls. They look so pretty when you do them , at best , my attempts have been drunk and fractured . Love , love the colours and the panel.

    Hello Angela, now that I’ve watch this wee’s message about the swirl quilt along I really need this five week tutorial. My swirls are so anemic! I really need this challenge with all the help( training wheels) sections. I am a self-taught free motion quilter and this will surely up my quilting abilities. Thanks for doing all this work to set up this challenge. What a holiday gift for us!

  • @TammyWoods-1va
    @TammyWoods-1va Місяць тому

    I have a stack of quilt tops waiting to be quilted but I've worried that I would mess them up doing them my self. I've watched several of your videos and love your sense of humor and optimism. You make it looks so easy and the idea of having training wheels is going to make this so much easier. I can't wait to join this challenge and then tackle a few of the quilts in my stack. Thank you so much for doing this!

    Thank you for your generosity and enthusiasm. I’ve done two of your quilt alongs, one of which is hanging on the wall behind my sewing machine. Every time I see it I can’t believe I quilted it. You have given me the skills and the confidence to quilt a lot of my own quilts. I’ve quilted many projects since, using your videos as reference. You are a gifted artist and teacher. Go Chiefs

    YES, YES, YES!!! I am so thrilled about the 'training wheels'. Oh my gosh, this is fantastic for me. I have been afraid and intimidated to try any fancier designs. When I first found you, I bought the training wheels on the website. After I quilted them, I didn't know how to apply them to my projects. This challenge has both. I feel so hopeful. Thank you so much....
