    Angela, you've inspired me to tackle quilting more of my quilts. I'm working on getting my UFO 's quilted, one quilt at a time. Love your sense of humor and your show. Good job ! Keep up your great shows! I love them!

      I've read several books about antique cross stitch samplers and nearly all tell you to leave the "mistakes" in--it makes projects unique and in all the needlepoint projects I've done NO one ever sees them--unless I tell them myself.

    • @AngelaWaltersfmq
      @AngelaWaltersfmq 7 років тому

      Exactly!! That's why you never point them out :)

    Angela, I love these midnight quilt shows. They remind me of when I was a stay at home mom and my kids were little. I used to stay up sewing into the wee hours of the morning. The next technique I want to learn is bargello. If you haven't done so already, that's what I would love to see next from you. Thanks!

    Angela, I love this show. Right from the start, with the 'quilt juice' to the beautiful rainbow of colors, I was hooked. When you took a small hiatus, I was sad :-(. But now I happy, :-), so I thought I would let you know just how fun and unique your show is. I hope you keep on quilting in the midnight hour!

    I gave my son three choices for a quilt for him. This was the one he chose. I’m not going to lie, it took me quite a while with a lot of labor, but it was one of the funnest quilts I’ve ever made. He loved it! Said it was the prettiest quilt I’ve ever made! I had a lot of personal satisfaction with this one. I even did her intense quilting on it!

    Love watching your Midnight Quilt Show. I really like that you aren't worried about perfection. This is my issue when I am free motion quilting and it makes me feel better to know that you "the expert" are ok with it not being perfect. Thank you

  • @reinadegrillos
    @reinadegrillos 7 років тому

    I'm amazed and how easy it looks. Thank you. It is a pleasure to see you working. I'm a retired teacher and just beggining to do this craft.

  • @nancyboisvert7109
    @nancyboisvert7109 7 років тому

    Angela.......you are AMAZING! I definitely have to make this! Just watching this I see how easy it is to sew curved seams. That's your prettiest quilt yet and that's saying something! Thanks for sharing your skills with us.

  • @jrberry63
    @jrberry63 7 років тому +1

    For a newbie quilter, it is encouraging to hear "close enough is good enough". It eases my mind, as this is a very intense thing to learn! I love the phrase "quilt-worthy". I'll admit--some people are not knit-worthy, much as I love them, LOL, and may not be quilt-worthy either! But that's mostly because they don't appreciate what goes into the craft. Those who do? They get crafted stuff!

  • @lindarivers2407
    @lindarivers2407 7 років тому

    • @applegatecl
      @applegatecl 7 років тому +1

      Absolutely! We'd probably never start or finish projects if we spent too much time trying to make them "perfect." As Angela says, "Where's the fun in that?"

    I love this show! Angela... you make me laugh and relax about not being perfect. I have a hard time getting quilts done because they are not perfect. I'm going to work on my own quilt from my own design and just going to have fun with it. Thank you Craftsy and Angela for this. Been finding myself waiting for the new episode to come out! I love it!

  • @sharonozereko5478
    @sharonozereko5478 7 років тому

    Angela, you are a breath of fresh air! Love your approach to finding the joy in quilting. Too often I get bogged down with "not good enough." And BTW, you are right about there being those who are not quite quilt worthy. We can still love them, but tearing my hair out for a complicated quilting pattern on my little domestic for someone who will say, "oh, that's nice" takes away the good mojo. I am learning to consider the value the recipient is likely to put on my effort. Thank you!

    Thank you Angela! You are so fun to watch. You remind us that quilting "is" supposed to be fun! I learned the hard way a few years back about "quilt worthy" on a knitting project that was used as an outside doormat...yes....that was not its intended purpose!!! I cannot get the hang of free motion quilting. Dr.Pepper and chocolate is my fuel when sewing, and for everything else!!!

    I always call it the magic quilt moment when you are watching it being pieced and suddenly your brain sees the pattern and at the same time understands just how to get there. It makes you smile. Also i was worried there would nit be symmetry but there it was. What a beautiful quilt and the quilting is amazing.

    I laughed so hard when you "effed " up, and then did your little frustration dance. As others have previously stated your "close enough is good enough" motto (I also watched your 3 things a quilter shouldn't do) has also released that anxiety driven falsehood of perfection away, and made my quilting time so much better that I am actually finishing my quilts and thoroughly enjoying the process now. When someone of your caliber is so open and honest, it really is inspiring. Thank You!
    OH! Yeah and your "quilting juice " cracked me up. My sister and I finished 2 quilt tops one weekend whilst imbibing in the same quilt juice. ;-)

    • @AngelaWaltersfmq
      @AngelaWaltersfmq 7 років тому

      I really feel that the quilting juice is the most important part, lol :) The sad thing is that I truly had that fit, I was so mad! But that's just how it goes sometimes!

    Hi Angela!! Wow! what a breath of fresh air you are!! At this stage of my quilting (ie lots months of research/loadsa money spent and loadsa money saved - getting fabric from mens ties/shirts/dresses anything that looks pretty in the the charity shop!!) I finally felt ready to do something semi-serious and I have come across someone with my attitude to doing things on UA-cam!! If you ain't got a glass of wine and some chocs (tea if i'm back on my meds) then just ain't worth doing nothing!! I love your cavalier almost ireverend attitude to the whole process of quilting - I think most of what has put me off trying to make anything are the stuck up ladies who seem to insist that everything is is prefect - perfect i just DO NOT do - and your saying of 'close enough for government work' made me laugh - for longer than i can remember it has always been a favourate of my dad's and i admit, i use it probably far more than i should!! So i raise my glass to someone who is full of fun, info and not afraid to show cock-ups as well as the beautiful pieces you make. Mm - now another cup of tea or do i get on with unpicking the second back to front seam i have done in the 16" cushion cover i have spent all week making from men's silk ties!!! Oh decisions decisions!!! Lots of love and hugs from Snowy Gloucester in the UK xxxx
