    Michelle, you are my inspiration. I wish you best on the move. I can't imagine how that big a move even works. Thank you for being here and so encouraging. I am very excited to begin the quilt along. Happy Anniversary. 🎶💐💖🫂

    Congratulations! Enjoy this very exciting milestone!! I am so excited to see a new video post on the channel. You have helped me find inspiration to make the most of my leftover fabric, and I am grateful! An idea for your channel that I have not seen many people do is kind of a drop-in on other quilters , maybe a see-what-I-found series that shows what different quilters are working on, how they have set up their space (whether it’s a room or the far end of the dining room table) and a little on their quilting story- how they started quilting, who introduced them, etc. it is a fun way to share the many talented ‘closet quilters’ and their talents, ideas, and inspiration with the larger community. Not everyone has the talent and drive to host a channel (I am grateful for those that do) but everyone does have a story to share. I also like the field trip videos, and my favorite are the patterns you create and share. Again- congratulations on a job well done and hoping for many more milestones to celebrate in the years to come.

    Congratulations on one year 🎉I’ve been here most of the time and have made the prairie point pin wheel quilt and it was fantastic. So glad your Moving back to 🇨🇦. I’m sure your time abroad was memorable. Safe journey home for you, Jason, and your sewing items.💕

      Thanks Jenn! Glad the Flippy Bits quilt worked out for you. Someone else suggested other patterns using this same idea and that has gotten me thinking.....! Thanks for your support.

    It's a small world. I gather that you came from Montréal. I grew up in Toronto, then after marrying my Kiwi husband, spent many years in Halifax. We moved to New Zealand in 2014 and I rediscovered quilting. We are however, not moving back home as our grandbabies all live in Oz. We are therefore moving to Qland next year although I do miss Canada. Cheers and keep up the great tutorials. I love your patterns and I now make quarter square triangles from my offcuts because of you. They are much more useful than the tiny HSTs that I was used to making from my snowballed blocks.😊🇨🇦🇭🇲🇳🇿

      Hi Janis! It is a small world! I'm originally from Kitchener-Waterloo, but lived in Ottawa for many years before moving to Australia. We're headed back to Ottawa in just a few weeks. I'm sure you will love Queensland - the climate can't be beat! I'm glad to hear you are making hourglass blocks. I hope you find lots of fun things to do with them (and don't forget the free patterns on my website).

      Hi Sylvia - that's a great idea! Thanks. I'll be able to re-use a lot of what I currently have, but as I was packing, I realized that my fabric organization "system" was a complete mess. And it's even worse now that it's mainly in a bunch of boxes! Lots of sorting in my future when it all finally arrives.

    Happy One Year UA-cam Birthday 🎂 Thank you for sharing your Quilting Life with us. I’ve been inspired by your designs, especially the Fibonacci Pattern. I can’t wait to get some projects wrapped up so I can start on a Fibonacci quilt of my own.
    I don’t think every video has to be a tutorial. I think you could show your WIPS & what you were working on that week. Field trip footage is also very interesting. Share trends & happenings that you are aware of in the quilting world/community.
    Good luck moving back to Canada, safe travels 🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

    I have so enjoyed looking at your patterns, queuing them up for future projects and have shared them with quilty friends. I keep small leftover bits for crumb quilting and would love more ideas using those, maybe using the rulers we all have but don’t use. I also really like medallion quilts. Looking forward to the BOM now that I am finishing one. Congrats on your anniversary and wishing you many more! Best wishes that your move goes off without a hitch. Hope you can borrow a machine.

    Congratulations 🍾 Michelle. I’m only sorry we didn’t get to meet while you were here in Oz! I only live thousands of miles away! Regarding content ideas for down the track I love your field trips and just looking at your quilts. I think I particularly like the story behind your quilts, why it was made, where the idea came from, why did you choose that colour way. Makes it more meaningful. I rarely just make a quilt from a magazine pattern these days. To me there needs to be a story, or some meaning. If I’m going to put precious time into a project I want more than just a pattern. I enjoy reproducing antiques quilts or participating in group projects, or helping a museum raise money by buying the pattern or sewing a quilt for fun being made by many others at the same time. I’m really looking forward to your Round Robin coming up as it already has a story attached, the collaboration between the 3 of you is part of the ongoing story. Interesting already to see what it will grow into… a fun story for sure! Safe travels Michelle.

    Michelle congratulations on your one year anniversary 🎉 I always get a smile when I see a new video from you 😊. I can’t imagine what that move will be like it was crazy when I retired and we moved 150 miles! I am developing a nice stash of hour glass blocks from my leftover bits and pieces. I enjoy your field trips really envy the fabric you got in Hawaii (I wasn’t quilting when we went there so didn’t buy fabric). What part of Canada are you heading to anywhere near Brenda from Conquering Mount Scrapmore? Saying prayers that you and Jason have a safe trip and that your belongings arrive sooner than expected.
