Darlene Michaud wow

[@jeniffermayfield8994]

Love your tutorials! It’s like going to a gf’s house & hanging out learning. As a beginner quilter ina family of very exact quilters it is great to find someone to learn from who isn’t. Thanks!

[@traci7375]

"little crooked things don't matter". !!! Yes!! You're my quilting hero! Mine are never ever perfect no matter how hard I try 😂

[@AnnieBarentine]

You make me laugh! And such a beautiful easy way to enjoy a project. Keep those videos coming!!

[@ICU264]

I love all the different choices of patterns!!

[@bambietennison255]

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SERIES!!! I LOVE THESE BLOCKS!!!!

[@user-fr3ke4mq6f]

Hi Darlene Been watching you for years and enjoying your content so much.. I am working on the two inch 64 patch blocks

[@karenholly6221]

Ooh< I knew about the first method but did not know the second one. Love it! I will have to try that one soon!

[@MelissaGrimes9371]

Thank you for the video. I'm just getting into quilting and watching videos of people who say everything needs to be square, blah, blah, blah. It's nice to know it doesn't have to be completely perfect for it to turn out nice.

[@tracyruth4247]

I'm so happy you're quilting again. I especially love your quilting/sewing videos :)

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Thank you, Darlene, for the short and sweet summary of both techniques.

[@kathyhlinak6395]

Thank you again. I feel like I have to keep thanking you on each video because you deserve it. I would love to see a video on a full quilt with the triangles.

[@paulapower8505]

Great, a new quilt series! Now I have some 'funkification' to look forward to. Thanks Darlene, x

[@jillluvslife1640]

You had me on “little crooked things don’t matter”!

[@crispyc3558]

Hi Darlene, thank you so much for this tutorial! The perfectionist in me wants everything to be lined up exactly so your reminder that it doesn't need to be is pretty timely and very much appreciated. PS I love how you used the word "funkified" :D

[@pinkmarshmallow352]

Wow. So many ways. Excellent!

[@dixiealt4215]

[@jacquiwilmot9602]

So brilliant Darlene, thanks. I keep trying to post comments on your wonderful tutorials but it says comments disabled! Anyway you are personally responsible for me NOT giving up today when I made a total mess because I hadn't measured properly. You are such a natural teacher!

[@darlene.michaud]

I turn my comments off because I'm not into the whole comment thing. I leave them on for some of my videos just to keep youtube happy.

[@mrsdelma]

Thanks you soooooooooooo much. I am a newbie quilter and need all the help I can get, lol,

Hi are you sewing on an old singer? I have my moms 404, it sews perfect stitches every time and I love it. It reminds me of my mom , thanks for the tutorial . I am looking for that original foot u have on your machine, it sews a perfect quarter inch seam!

[@carlasoutherland4687]

I love to watch you

[@reneevrieling2442]

Cool beans :)

[@abbeyp8834]

What SIZES would u start with using the second method to make The Eccentric star block.? I can't seem to figure it out! And I believe the center is a bit bigger. ANYONE?

[@stephenvinson6474]

yea....dig this...super reasonable...I like your thoughts on it...eases up on the ocd aspect of quilting that I see in many videos...people can get really anal retentive....in quilting...eh if they gotta do perfection ...go for it...I'll follow your approach and avoid stomach probs...ulcers!

[@jenihansen7201]

More quilting please?
