    Both quilts are absolutely stunning, but I would have to say the second quilt is my favorite. It has a nice warm, cozy, feel to it with the color choices.

    Hi Donna 💖 This morning, I watched this video for the second time. I am not sure when I first watched your Bead Quilt video, but I know it has been months. I absolutely love the pattern. Right from the first, I wanted to make your Bead Quilt. My take aways, after tuning in for a second time are these. First, I am now even more determined to make your beautifully stylized quilt. Second, I realized I should be listening with pen and notebook in hand: you definitely give important make or break--but easily doable--advice for ensuring long lasting, professional looking results. Third, I remembered what I had imagined when you first introduced me to your new quilt pattern, Christmas Decorating. Do you think your beautiful beads pattern would look elegant if the beads and backing were made using luxurious Christmas fabric? Fourth, I had forgotten that you had made two completely unique versions of this pattern using very different fabric collections (I cannot pick which quilt I like best. I love them both! Which quilt I will make will depend on who it is for and what the occasion happens to be.) Fifth, I absolutely never tire of watching your quilting tutorials. Every single time I have watched one of your videos, I am amazed by how many ways you over deliver and expand the possibilities for your subscribers benefit. 📣Thank you most sincerely! 🏆✨

    Hi Donna, I am relatively new to quilting on my own. I sat with my grandmother as she quilted the old fashioned way, and although I love quilts and admired from afar, I never thought I would be able to actually quilt myself. My first quilt was 4 years ago with my seniors group at our local craft meeting and we made Trip Around The World lap quilts to auction off among the entire senior members. We didn't quilt them because we didn't have the space so we just tied them. I was hooked! We did a multi-colored one and then I decided to do a Christmas one. After finishing that one I took it to show my Mom & she loved it so much she wanted me to make her a fall one, her favorite colors. Well, up to this point, I just figured that was going to be my go to, and I was fine with that. Until I found You Tube tutorials, and now I have watched different patterns that look incredibly difficult being made before my very eyes & I must tell you, Miss Donna (which was my Mom's name-unfortunately I lost her about 6 months after I gave her her quilt) that I love beading, so when I saw this picture I had to watch, and you've convinced me that I can not only bead jewelry, but now I can add beaded quilts to my bag of tricks! Thank you Miss Donna, I will be watching all of your video's for more quilts that I can possibly quilt in my lifetime, but oh the dreams!

    • @nannettjordan671
      @nannettjordan671 2 роки тому +2

      @@KateGas you need to add the triangles as part of each row. So when you lay out your pieces on a design wall or a spare bed, you'll be able to see what side of the triangle that needs to be sewn to the row. Once each row is sewn, then you sew rows together. It's best to sew one half the quilt top then the next. The
      Last part is to sew the two halves together

  • @arianaorton3658
    @arianaorton3658 5 років тому

    Both of the beads quilts are beautiful. They have a very different feel to them. The floral one makes me feel like I'm at my Grandma's house. The one with the cream background feels more modern. I like them both, but if you ever do a giveaway of the one with the cream background, I'll definitely sign up for that! Thank you for the endless entertainment, inspiration, and instruction. Your videos are always so clear and easy to understand! I especially appreciate the explanation of how to cut the triangles that go on the edges, why you want the grain going along the edge of the quilt instead of alongside the blocks themselves, and how to cut them so that they do. Over the past few months that I have been watching your channel, I have been hoping to see you give more detail on that. My aunts and several members of my family are avid quilters and have been for years, and they all recently conspired to infect me with the "bedbug". But they all live so far away, and I can't hang out with them and learn from them nearly as much as I would like. So I appreciate your videos. They are the next best thing! I live in Portland, so next time I get to drive through Grants Pass, I am excited to come see your shop.

    Donna, I just watched the beads quilt.. I love both of them but prefer the second one. It is gorgeous. You work so efficiently. I admire that. I should remember that practice makes perfect. Something you do that helps me a lot is explain the “why” you did something the way you did it. That makes sense to me better than just “do it this way”. You are a wonderful teacher. Keep it up! I’ll keep watching and trying.

    I do like the beads pattern with the print best as I really love traditional fabrics. The solid beads quilt is very nice; I do like it.

    Well, the bright one attracts my bold, let’s-go-have-fun attributes and the soft one attracts my soft, cuddle, nostalgic, inner part.

    Even though I don't have time to quilt your videos are a great lesson in color selection.
