Hi April, I know, I'm always late to the party. Anyway, first of all, I've been watching many of your videos and every time you open with, "It's April" I think, "No, it's September," and then I giggle. Next, I'm not generally a panel fan but the windowpane effect that you developed is absolutely great. Lastly, what you did to the Grinch is epic! April, thank you for lightening my heart and my day. It means more than you know. I'm off to buy my first panel. Very sincerely, J
Beautiful! 😍😍😍 The Grinch is cool, but yeah, I'm thinking it would be a little better if his "whole" face was in one of the faux window panes..😂😂😂. Thank you for sharing. 😊🍁🍃🍂🌻🍊
Okay…let me start this video again so I can pay attention cause I belly laughed the entire time! Seriously, I can’t see a thing…the tears are rolling down my face. You missed your calling my dear. Stand up comedy is missing you! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Okay…watched a second time. I really payed attention…and I loveeeeee how your panel quilt turned out! I love love love the way you worked your ombré fabric…such a great idea. The only thing I probably would have done differently was to cut the smashing pieces narrower. Have you ever seen Donna Jordan’s tutorials? She’s from Jordan Fabrics and has a great panel tutorial. I like yours because it’s not quite as fussy as hers but you might want to take a peek if you’ve never seen hers before. Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving❣️
I love Donna Jordan. She has inspired many of my projects - she does a great job and has wonderful suggestions. I like big blocks and I cannot lie - lol. My mother looks at these quilts with blocks with teeny tiny little pieces and I say - that is beautiful. No way am I cutting a 1" square. ha ha. I admire those who do because they make beautiful quilts. Thank you for watching and commenting. April
Lol….I love how you deal with all your mistakes and make some of us feel like we are not alone😁. You make me feel good and make me smile watching you 🥰
I love the way you did your quilts. I wouldn't change the grinch. He's perfect. You make things seem so easy and understandable. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Love your ideas and watching your tutorials. I would have cut the Grinch in thirds instead, so his face would be complete. Just a bit smaller window pane pieces.
I have totally avoided panels because I didn’t have a clue what to do with them that I would like and wouldn’t be the same old same old. This window idea is perfect! There is a place in Fancy Gap right near the NC/VA border that Carrie’s hundreds of panels - it’s time I took a trip up the interstate 77 and see what fun I can find!!!! Thanks so much for a great new idea. I’m going to pass it along to one of my quilt guilds for our charity quilts.
I love this idea. Thanks for sharing. I'm making an Asian quilt for a family member. I did divide it into three 21 inch, wide strips. Your idea today gave me a plan for the borders which will help to make it more creative.
I think I am the queen of mistakes. LOL. I sewed one of the borders twice on the same side. So it was a double border of the yellow with the small flowers. It looked pretty good, but then I remember I didn't have enough fabric to do that all the way around and out came the seam ripper. I could seriously stress test those things for someone. LOL. Thank you for watching and commenting. April
Very nice, April! I am impressed that you can cut with both your right and your left hands. I can barely cut with my right hand, wouldn’t dare even hold the rotary cutter with my left hand.😂
I am lucky. For some reason I can use both hands although I only cut with my right hand when using scissors. But I write with my left hand. lol. Thank you for watching and commenting. April
I was looking for quilt panel patterns and your’s came up - I love them - thanks. Love your videos anyway regardless of which patterns you’re making. - eat some chocolate 😁
Maybe "try out" 1/2 inch sashing strips on top of the panel first to see what will be lost in the 1/4 inch seams then arrange the number or shape of your window panes. I really enjoy your tutorials and your sense of humor. But I think I admire your "what if I..." attitude most! Taking the plunge. Thank you
These quilts are so inspiring. Did you get a new kitty?? I'm glad you include the cats. I absolutely love watching your videos. Great ideas, great sense of humor and adds Sunshine to my day! Thanks so much!
Same 2 kitties. Oliver and Peanut. Peanut used to always be in my craft room, but she decided she likes upstairs better now. Oliver can sense when I do a video - he is a ham. LOL. Thank you for your sweet comments and for watching my channel. You are very welcome. April
This turned out so beautiful April! Thank you for sharing your ideas and experiences - I love that you even include the mishaps that happen. Looking forward to your next video😊
I love this video! I am a procrastinator too, or seriously underestimate the amount of time it will take to get things done. Your quilt is just lovely. Thank you for sharing. Have a great holiday!
Beautiful floral panel! Love the idea of window 🪟 pane quilt. Can barely wait to see how it's quilted. The grinch is adorable. Currently working on a baby panel quilt.
Oh, April! That's like something I would do, too!! Sewing something in the wrong order? Yep! I do a lot of ripping! I really like the window effect. And the floral top that you did grew to a nice-sized quilt. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!! Long live Panel Quilts!!
I love this window quilt! Now I have to go to Austin's Sewing Center to get their 75% panels!!! Thank you for all you do! Love the out‐takes too! You have such precious cats 🐈!
I procrastinate so bad. My hubby calls me last minute Emily. Love your videos.
Love that!
your response should be "I work best under pressure"
LOL
Thanks for watching! April
That is so funny I just love watching your shows 🤣
Thank you so much!
April
I have 3 cats 🐈 that love laying on fresh cut material 😃

Thank you so much for watching my channel
Beautiful! 😍😍😍 The Grinch is cool, but yeah, I'm thinking it would be a little better if his "whole" face was in one of the faux window panes..😂😂😂. Thank you for sharing. 😊🍁🍃🍂🌻🍊
