I decided that I wanted to learn how to quilt... I noticed in the comment section that you have passed. Thank you for continuing to teach, inspire, and make a difference in so many lives. May God bless you and your family. 🙏
I have been wanting to learn to quilt for a long time. I finally decided to go for it and I found Melanie's tutorials and sat and watched all 5 segments of how to make your first quilt in one sitting. The next day I fired up the computer and went to Melanie's channel. I noticed something about a memorial page and assumed one of her parents had passed. When I realized it was HER, I was shocked. I watched Robert's documentary and cried through the whole thing. I made a promise to myself to continue to go to her tutorials which is what I did today and subsequently completed my first quilt top. I will continue to watch her videos as a tribute to this truly wonderful woman. Thanks, Robert for keeping these up and I hope you and the kids are doing well.
Have had to stop quilting for a while for medical reasons. Now that I'm ready to start again, these videos are invaluable to me. Melanie was the first teacher for me, and I need these refreshers periodically. I miss her lovely self.
So sad. I just found out tonight while watching this video that she does of cancer a little over a year ago. I am so sorry. She has been helping me via UA-cam make a fidget quilt for my mom who has vascular dementia. Melanie is so easy to listen to and I have learned so much from her. Prayers of comfort for her sweet family!
Melanie you are a god send. My Mother died just a year ago and left me 3 quilt tops all ready to baste and quilt. I am using your tutorials to do this and feel confident after watching you. Thank you God Bless!
Alisa Malone sorry for the loss of your mum. What a lovely gift she has left you though, I hope you get to do them. I would recommend going to a patchwork shop local to you to do a class. They usually do UFO classes (unfinished objects) you get to finish your quilt and get to meet some lovely new friends. I started a class over 12 years ago and still at the same one. Once you are finished your mum will be making you nice and warm each time you use it, she is still with you in your heart. Take care Jodie Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
It’s such a genuinely beautiful thing to finish your mother’s work. I’m working on my mothers unfinished knitted blanket and its been a joy to do it for her. She gave me permission before she died earlier this year. So her last gift to me was to bring me back to knitting and learn all over again. You’ll be experiencing the same and I wish you happiness with it.
helenjzk Killick , I always thought that passing on knowledge was a pathway to immortality for each of us. This knowledge gets received from our past and then paid forward in some way, and I think it benefits the recipients down the line. What a good thing, hey? 😊
Thank you for helped me learn how do get backing on batting with pattern . I'm hold few days sew pattern without backing is How . I got it her clear on video more then a other site isn't clearly 🙃
I miss you so much ❤ You taught me so much. I am trying to teachmy daughter now. I should say we are teaching her. I am showing your crochet videos. Rest in peace sweet angel.
I have just found this quilt channel. Now I find that dear Melanie has passed from the dreaded C. Excellent teacher. Thank you and your family for continuing to allow us to view her teachings.
Melanie, I have gotten pretty good at sewing and it is thanks to you. I bought a sewing machine years ago with zero know-how and you taught me everything! So grateful for you. You are a wonderful teacher (and that is coming from a teacher)! :)
I don't remember the last time I was this excited!! I do loads of other crafts probably like others but quilting was intimidating to say the least! I'm so happy believing I can finish my mother in laws quilt for her son!!! I know it would mean so much to her! I was blessed to know such a beautiful lady and feel blessed to help her complete this last project. Thank you for helping make this possible!! More hugs from Kansas City Mo
I am finishing my very first quilt because of you Melanie. Thank you for sharing your gifts and passion. Rest in peace knowing you will inspire and enable others with these videos for all time.
Just discovered your videos today and I’m heartbroken to read of your passing. Thank you for all the wonderful content you were able to share in your short time 🖤
This is my very first attempt at sewing let alone at quilting. Watching your videos - you make it look so easy. So far so good, I'm on your 3rd video now. I have to say, I'm enjoying this very much - very calming. You're a great teacher especially for beginners like me.
Thank you soooo much I have collectied sooo much fabric over the past few years in hopes of quilting we are expecting our 1st grandchild and want to make a quilt for him,,, You have helped me so much and have given me the courage to attempt it....you have the patience of a saint .... Thank you again Rose
Wow! Way more to quilting than I thought. I bought more packs than needed in case I mess up 😃, thanks to this video it won’t be needed. Had to say it.... you are lovely 😊
Wow thus is great. I was given 4 bags of what I thought were sewing projects and fabric. When I went through the bags, I realized they were QUILTING projects. I’m a garment sewer not a quilter but now is a great time to learn. Thank you for providing these videos!
Thank you for sharing your quilting talent. Amazing how clear the instructions. I ‘ve watch other videos and its overwhelming. I am keen to start a quilt project😊
Wow. Excellent and informative. Thank you. I've just made a topper ready to be made into a quilt and made all the block for another one. I've not made a quilt before so this tutorial is such great timing for me. Can't wait for part 3. 😊☆😊
Thank you so much for these videos!! I just finished my quilt top and I cannot wait to baste it. I thought I was going to hate making the quilt and quit, but your videos made it so much easier!!!
Your videos helped walk me through my first quilt step by step! Fabulous! I have watched certain parts- like binding on the corners- over and over! Your video is my go to for any questions or if I forget a part. I loved that it was broken down into parts so it was easy to follow and understand! Thank you so much!!
Thanks I am slow to learning how to do this, Trying to make a Queen size Quilt. And not Sure about the Batting. I will Continue because it’s my First Qult with all my Mistakes. Still learning 11-5-19
Really like that you made this series. This will be my first quilt! Not so sure that I "enjoyed" pin basting, especially since I had to do it on the floor, wish I had a table or counter big enough, but, yeah, it's done. On to the next step!
Hi!!its my first time quilting,you’re such a good teacher, thanks for sharing with your God given talents I love it 💕💕👌God bless you!!! Keep up your good work ❤️
Thank you so much! Almost no one explains this process with details, and I’m so happy that it can be done with things that I can easily find (like the safety pins), since the few other tutorials I found were very intimidating and use materials not available in my country (like glue spray or iron-on batting). Now I’m really excited to start my first quilt since this is the step I was the most afraid of. Once again, thanks!
This is my first quilt of an enormous size for my queen bed. I wanted it to hang over the sides., so the measurements are : 112 across the top and bottom and 120 length from top to bottom. I call my quilt a block quilt. the squares are 5x5 or (5x6) The squares were a gift from a quilt club in Florida (a group of my friends that wants me to have to do). I measured the top and it measured 95 inches across. I have been watching all of the you tube sessions of yours. They are the greatest I have ever experienced listening to and watching. Thanks for the tutorial sessions.
So I've all way wanted to know how to quilt. Well im 36 and broke my heel so I'm stuck in the so I started learning with u. Which the only thing different I'm doing is hand stitching and the way u explain stuff I've been able to learn how to quilt which im only at the beginning on video 4. So ill be stitching for a while but ur amazing plz keep up the work ur helping me learn something I've always wanted to do. Thank u so much
This is what I did too. I used it as a time to gather all the needed supplies which I then put on my Christmas wishlist and then received perfect Christmas gifts.
Thank you so much cant wait to finish this quilt picking up the next few items today and will be sharing when done. Again thanks for sharing....I am learning so much!!!!
Thanks so much for these! I recently got quilting supplies over Christmas, and my sister gave me her sewing machine because I wanted to start quilting. I've been so nervous to start a quilt but this is so helpful! Will be making my first one for my grandma.
I have been wanting to learn how to quilt so bad. My hubby bought me a sewing machine last weekend and I love the first video and was so excited that you made it so easy! You also taught me how to crochet so thank you so much for all of your videos!
Having problems with my computer so I am using my boyfriends. Melanie these videos are so helpful and you explain the process very well. I am a visual learner and this definitely helps in learning.
Thanks for this part 2, I started the first part long time ago. And I didn't finished...Now I can! :-) Waiting for part 3 .Thanks for the inspiration!!
You are amazing, thank you for keeping it simple and explaining things in simple language vs seamstress terms. I purchased a book, read various Pinterest pins and totally screwed up my quilt. I found your tutorial and took the quilt apart and it is turning out perfect 👌 thank you!!
Thank you so much for this amazing guide! I'm a dad learning to quilt for my 3rd baby on the way and I'm sure I have at least 2 more to make when my 4 and 5 year old girls get jealous. Lol.
I’m very interested on getting any tips you may have for making a quilt using old baby onesies/outfits. I’m saving a bunch of ones that hold a special place to me for my twins and would love to make a quilt for each of them. This series is very helpful by the way, can’t wait for the next episode.
Thanks Melanie, i agree you are a god send. One silly question, with filling or batting, do i just use one layer? I purchased recently some bamboo batting but layers seem very thin.
I started watching her quilting video today. I had no idea she passed away 😞 To the family I'm so sorry for your loss.

All basted up! Can't WAIT to start the quilting! 😁
Thanks for the video
was wondering if you can make a video on making Welding cap , as there aren’t many out there . Thanks again
Thanks Melanie, i agree you are a god send. One silly question, with filling or batting, do i just use one layer? I purchased recently some bamboo batting but layers seem very thin.
you are a joy to watch! Im just beginning quilting and have learned so much from you. I didn't see the link to amazon for the batting though?
