    Thank you Helen D. for making these tutorials. Your voice is so calming and you make these finishes look so easy! I have made so many things that intimidated me. 😅 I cannot wait to see what you make next! Thanks again.

    That block is the cutest thing I have seen! Of course I love anything with 🐈 cats 🐱. Your instructions were so clear and precise. I just recently subscribed to your channel and I am so glad I did. Thank you for taking the time to do this video for novices such as myself.

    Well now you’ve graduated from encourager to enabler, Helen. First the berries and now these blocks, oh my goodness! I definitely have to stitch this and while I am still terrified of finishing it, at least I know with your video I have a high success rate. Boy your sister is lucky she has a Helen! 😀 Definitely need to make one a Tabby to match my Ernie. Thanks again for all the time and effort you put into making these videos.
