[@denisepineda1788]

Great quilt ideas. I love that you not only do the quilt top but you also show us how to quilt it. Thanks a bunch!

[@ramonacabrera4635]

Hi Angela of Midnight Quilter 🍷💖 I enjoy watching all your videos and I’m a fan of yours ❤️

[@emmakostka8179]

Yeess queen we stan quilting evolution

[@jan-mareew6234]

Oh! God! I have O.C.D. and you're so fearless. You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dianeledgerwood1091]

The addition of the flying geese to the churn dash makes this quilt so attractive. Am proud of you for including a little purple into this quilt.

[@norahmcphee4928]

Good afternoon Angela, I really enjoyed this video as i could understand everything you said and did. I think your brother in law was really lucky to receive such a special present, so no wonder he wants it back (and it shows you must have done it right with the present in the first place, lucky man). I wonder if your husband works nightshift and that's why your up at that time of the night sewing, lol. Although i am a sew er amongst other crafting, i am just going to be starting quilting. I have watched a few talented people now on KZbin and it's because of seeing Jenny's, Donna's Laura Lynn and of course yourself that enticed me to venture down this path. Thank you flower for sharing your skills and humour with all of us, as you are encouraging new to start and old to return because of it. Take care, crafty hugs, Norah Glenochil Village, Central Scotland

[@kuhliffi60]

I love the coloring for this quilt, the purple and black are so cool! I've been watching your show and is so much fun...thank you for having the enthusiasm and playfulness with your quilting show. Was so funny, 5-6 yrs ago I went to a community quilting guild meeting, and when I told them that I knew it was time for my last glass of Reisling, was when my stitch was no longer in the ditch! I was laughing so hysterically, it didn't get quite the response I imagined, the girls need to lighten up and have fun :)

[@beverlymyers3552]

I will miss you. Enjoy your goats, my husband and I have two and walk them everyday that it is not snowing or raining. Looking forward to next season. Take care.

[@gailfisher5276]

I flippin love your show. My husband has been beside me sometimes watching, sometimes just listening. He told his family he's pretty sure he could make an entire quilt on his own now, lol. I come from a long line of quilters. I remember as a kid watching my aunt's all come together to hand quilt tops that each of them would finish. I still have my mom's old quilt frame. I've just gotten interested in doing quilts. I never thought I had it in me to do them like my mom and aunt's. Unfortunately my mom is now 89 and can't remember enough to pass stuff down to me. So, I found you, MSQ, man sewing and Melanie Ham on you tube. So, thanks to all of you I have almost completed my first quilt. A winter snowman quilt and not only have I done the quilt top but I did all the free motion quilting. All on a 25 year old sewing machine. I just have the binding to do. Thank you for being so inspirational and funny all at the same time.

[@theresapilkington1805]

Gail Fisher I'm like you from a long line of quilters on both sides. I have one quilt from each side of my family. Didn't become interested in quilting until I was fourth three

[@gailfisher5276]

Theresa, I'm glad I'm not the only one who started late 😉 I'm 47. That is so cool to have a quilt from both sides. I have only 1 from my mom's side. But, it has 3 generations hands on it so far. My great grandma cut the material before she passed. My grandma pieced the quilt top before she passed. Then my mom quilted it. I've used it so much that it has small rips in it. I want to repair it. I would be the 4th generation to work on it 😀 I'm quickly falling in love with quilting. There are so many cool designs out there.

[@marilynnberg531]

Great pics

[@m53goldsmith]

I'm starting again at 67 and hopefully, with the help of KZbin, I can remember how to do this stuff which I haven't tried in over 40 years!

[@k4128]

I just found this channel. I don't know how to quilt but watching these videos is very cool. Besides I can always try something small like a baby quilt until I get the hang of it. Nice channel! Thank you so much! I was just watching as I was drinking a cup of coffee. :-)

[@siscarmichael2949]

I absolutely loves all your videos! Your a great instructor, your funny and make us feel like we can make small mistakes and it's not the end of the world! I had been following instruction from another person in your field who is wonderful and taught me a lot, but way too rigid. It's taken me a very long time to realize that no ones going to notice a tiny mistake

[@MHeidenRN]

New to your channel but it has given me so much to look forward to. I love your attitude that it doesn’t have to be perfect.

[@CraftyLoops]

Im with you Angela, Im not a big fan of purple but that colour combination with the dark background is simply stunning. I just finished my 2nd ever quilt a few days before Christmas, lol. I was so chuffed with it. When I say Im new to quilting.....really I am new to sewing....at all! The first time I ever powered on my machine I made my sister a Dorothy Gale dress and I even made a video on my channel on how I made the ruby slippers. , 2nd project was a patchwork quilt.....and the 3rd project was the quilt I just completed which was a simple jelly roll race quilt. But I seem to be getting the hang of it for someone who didn't know how to turn on a sewing machine just 3 projects ago (who am I kidding....I still need to consult my instructions manual on how to thread my machine, teehee).. I never do anything simple.....I could have started with making a tea coaster or even a table mat.....but no......my first ever sewing projects were 2 massive quilts (which I also quilted myself) and a dress, lol. Looking forward to Season 5! Enjoy the break. Lee x

[@laurarenda8383]

Fabulous!! I have to say I really enjoy your quilting, wine, and how you seem fearless. I am still piecing and binding, but not so much with the quilting. I am hoping this summer I will become a quilting maniac.Quilting has been in my family for awhile, but not by me personally. I mean I can whip out an occassional Baby quilt no problem. Thanks for your wonderful inspiration ! I appreciate you. Enjoy your time off 😉

[@NannaLiz]

Have you ever seen the midnight sky in the wilds of Wyoming with no artificial lights around? This is it! Just multiply the churn dashes by a few billion and you've got that amazing sky. I really like this one! I think this would be perfect for a guy, but just a little bit bigger. And yes, you ARE special!

[@Elizabethmarie76]

Beautiful

[@danbev8542]

Gougeous quilt! My favorite colors! I love the black background. Your old quilt is beautiful too! Thanks for another great video!

[@Tryshba]

Hey! Man, you are to my quilting what Jenny Doan is to my piecing. I've started fmqing my quilts and I've become more precise and confident since watching your quilting. Thanks so much for doing these

[@peggylooby631]

Angela! I would love to meet you in person! In the meantime, my question is thread choices! How do you choose the thread type, color, have you ever used the thicker thread to have your work stand out? Keep sewing and quilting, it wouldn't be half as fun without you!!!

[@susannekoch4025]

Recently i discovered your show- and i really like your humor. Thank you for a lot of inspiration and motivation

[@melissav3591]

Hi Angela!! Stumbled onto your you tube videos and was reeled in. Love quilting and have family in Kearney!! What a small world. Love Craftsy also, I will be sure to continue to watch and when I get down to Liberty I will for sure stop by your shop!!! keep them coming!!

[@breedimel]

Well, reckon I will have to order this quilt kit!! Think I can do this one as I am a beginner quilter, but not sewer!! Love your shows! I am getting ready to start the Variable wallflower quilt! Cant wait! I know I would love it if you could state the color of the thread you are using, too!! Know it is Aurofil and using some of that now and love it! Thanks for all you do and what a lovely family you have!! I have also just order "Slim" ruler to help me finish my "first quilt"!! Whee-ha!!

[@darrylstrohl]

YAY PURPLE!!! lol We'll miss you!

[@jojodesca]

It always makes my day to see a new video posted...thank you

[@cherryl1111]

Im dying for Angela to do a Bear Paw quilt or a modern bear paw next season! Who wouldnt love to see her growl like a bear?!

[@mumblesandwool1243]

cherryl1111 shes making one next season!!

[@katygibbins]

Say it isn't so!!!! I watch your shows OVER, AND OVER AND OVER again every night.

[@nicoleprovencher-natale4094]

I worry less and enjoy the process more!

[@barbarabadgett8563]

Awesome! Love your purple!

[@emilywalters4995]

I love love love your shows I have watched ALL of them! I quilt when I can, I'm a stay at home mom, and watching you ALWAYS gives me inspiration. I'm so happy I stumbled across your shows and then the midnight quilt show, even if I can never decide on what to create.

[@nancybonnette398]

Hey Angela great show and you will be missed. I love craftsy not sure about there new program. I still haven’t finished several classes I purchased but it sounds interesting. Plan to look into it. I love the churn dash block and the fabric you used. I still want to make the puzzle quilt. Working on Christmas presents lol have to get started or I will never finish. My first quilt was make to preserve (lol, not the right way to save a special quilt) given to us as a wedding gift she used brocade and silk and cotton fabric that was just falling apart. So I used cotton squares and made a quilt and put the gift quilt inside and tired the new quilt. I still have it since 1969 and use it. The quilt will always be special.

[@brakelle]

As a young quilter (senior in highschool) I love your videos and aspire to be a quilter like you!!

[@maryjanegilmore5525]

My first quilt I did while I was going to school. I never worked so hard in my life but totally enjoyed it. I gave it away. So I don't think I have a picture.

[@amaurer65]

Churn Dash is my absolute favorite traditional block. Love your twist!

[@maryjanegilmore5525]

The quilt is so beautiful. And you used purple again. I will miss you. Can't wait till you start another program. Your quilting is so fun.

[@susanpleasant4118]

I love your shows need to stay on I quilt a lot of your quilt with you

[@shannonwilson1314]

I am just finishing my first applique quilt! And my free motion has gotten a lot more fluid and fast.

[@cathyvictor2821]

I am going to miss your weekly posts, please come back soon. You are rockin the Midnight Quilt Show!!!

[@suzisaintjames]

Holding my breath until you return! (So hurry back soon!) xoxo from rainy Arizona ☔

[@angelalackmann621]

aww going to miss u u make my day cant wait for new season enjoy your time off until then take care

[@lchin632]

I figured out that the fabric is exclusive to Craftsy. Beautiful colors, I wish I could get all the Boundless Batiks. Great show, and I love watching you work. Thank you.

[@leavesongrass]

I really liked the information you gave about quilting this cute quilt! It still astounds me how well you can control the quilt on that machine!

[@michellegloff6778]

Angela, I love your episodes. They make me want to head straight to my sewing machine. I find you give me confidence to try some of your quilting ideas. I hope you are back soon.

[@perfectstitchbyangie]

Love the colors and the quilting design. Beautiful.

[@rahmantrip2711]

It's incredible... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rthompson2edu]

the show is great

[@gladewhite]

SO glad I found your Midnight Quilt Show! Love the inspiration and the way you make it so easy. Great explanations on how to cut, too. Thanks for the previous shows and hope there will be may more to come!

[@trishlovesdogs3188]

I love the leaf echo quilting. I'll be trying that soon for sure. Thanks Angela!

[@SewGurl58]

OMG cut big pieces into little pieces and put them back together in a big piece again! Exactly why it took me like 30 years to come to quilting. I have a big piece of fabric, I'm making a skirt, or a shirt!

[@maaryasiddiqui3599]

Quilt is so pretty!! Can't wait for season 5!!!!

[@sandrayoung5465]

I really enjoy your videos. A quilt in one night---what an inspiration!

[@kimsiehl9058]

Thank you for another GREAT season of TMQS!!! We'll miss you while you're gone!

[@sewcrazybaker]

I was so prepared NOT to like this quilt because I didn't see how you could make the Churn Dash any better. I was SO WRONG! I LOVE this version! I think I might even like it better than the original. Maybe. Please hurry back! We're all gonna miss you!

[@heatherroy1501]

Love your episodes! These colors are astounding. Can’t wait to see whats next!

[@PamelaGoodman-56]

The season's are too short! Over too soon! Love your videos, looking forward to next season!

[@m53goldsmith]

Can't wait until the new Craftsy is launched so I can download this pattern once again!

[@loriannfish9488]

I love that background! I don't think that I have ever seen a black batik fabric before.

[@marthafulmer1171]

I love this show...I hope I can see them all...I'm already subscribed

[@barbarajohnson1572]

Can't wait... I'll be here waiting:))))) GB

[@KarensSelfemployJourney]

A few weeks is a long time. I love watching your shows. Your quilts are always beautiful. Hurry back soon.

[@rondahurd7203]

This is the first time I’ve caught one of your tutorials....you’re awesome! I love your personality! I think I’ll subscribe. I’ve been quilting for 20 years, not slowing down yet....just picking up steam.😀

[@debglastetter851]

I can't believe the season is over already. I will miss you so hurry back.

[@Snowdrifft]

Oh man bummed it is the last episode for the season. I can't wait for the new season! Thank you for doing this!

[@calvinrufus458]

Dear Angela do you really quilt at mid-night ? and for long do you quilt for ?

[@bgabriel]

Love the extension of the churn dash!

[@samantharogers9147]

This pattern would make a great baby quilt. I too look back at my first quilting and remember how proud I was at the time. I am much better now!

[@rhondaennever1064]

Thank you for sharing your talent!! Looking forward to season 5!!!

[@rosemarycastillo-sartin355]

I visited the the Thread Bear Quilt Shop in Las Vegas NM on our ski trip. I purchased one of your free motion books. Michael mentioned that you were there in August! What a great shop! The only downside is that it was the only book that was not autographed. After I meander down the slope, I can't wait to start working through the book! Cheers! Dilly Dilly!

[@sweetcake405]

love the design and the fabric

[@professorjamison]

I love that quilt pattern. I'm going to give it a try with my batik stash!!!

[@islengarcia7426]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS QUILT!!!!!

[@lavenderrose22h55]

ah can't wait til your back love the quilt

[@suzisaintjames]

Instead of drawing a line on the squares, Jenny from Missouri Star Quilt Co., folds the square in half, wrong sides together, then stitches in the crease. Love it! xoxo from rainy Arizona, 67/44f today.

[@3000RP]

Suzi Saint James, since there are four flying geese needed it would waste less fabric to use the method that yields four at once. There are a couple rulers and videos that cover the method. If you go with the corner to corner snitch, sew another 1/2 away and you end up with a bunch of half square triangles that can be used for another project..

[@suzisaintjames]

Raychell Pettijohn, but doesn't the 4 at once method put the bias and straight of grain on opposite sides. Jenny from Missouri Star Quilt Co says she doesn't mind the bias on the outside, but traditionalists have a fit with the bias on the outside. xoxo from sunny 🌞 Arizona. 78/46f today

[@suzisaintjames]

Raychell Pettijohn, besides, I love bonus triangles! I make my bonus blocks into shopping bags and I have parts of my quilt with me even when I'm shopping. As shopping is my favorite sport only after quiliting. xoxo from sunny 🌞 Arizona.

[@3000RP]

Suzi Saint James, I think you are thinking of the half square triangles that end up being bias on the edges... I was talking about the flying geese needed. those are not bias edged.

[@3000RP]

Suzi Saint James, yep the bonus blocks can have fun uses. I feel the key is to sew them at the same time to keep then from getting 'filed' away for later bcc and never used

[@myjkjuls]

I just love your show so much!! I have learned so much from you!

[@pamelacasey1699]

I love this quilt design!

[@loveart4007]

Love it!!!

[@anitra7747]

Love this quilt! I struggle with the leaf shape but I love it paired with the swirls. I’ve taken all of your Craftsy classes! I especially found it helpful when your books echoed what was in the classes. Yep, Own almost all of your books as well. I will miss you the next few weeks but I’m looking forward to your next episodes!

[@hichki4you797]

Hi I am from Pakistan and love your show

[@brendaoberle2001]

It's gona be hard Angela.....but we'll wait for you to come back!! Have a great break and l can't wait to see what you have for us!

[@Arisaema55]

Another fantastic season, Angela! Thanks so much. One question I have. Why dry reds? I mean they’re my favorites because they go down so happily and smoothly and don’t give me a headache, but, I’m wondering why they are favored by you. 😋

[@marilynpricethomas5145]

WoW! BEAUTIFUL need to learn that! 💞💞

[@mumblesandwool1243]

Nooo dont let this be the last one of the season. I just lost my mom in law and your videos make me sane. I guess im going to have to binge watch the old videos..

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Love those beautiful fabrics - Yum! Thanks for going into more detail about how to do the quilting. I think I could actually do this one. TFS.

[@rosespencer6995]

The quilting diagrams you provide are great, but as a new Longarm quilter, would be cool if you offered insight for designs for the quilts you are spotlighting.

[@frickmom]

Oh no!! Hope the new episodes come soon!! This is the high point of my week!! You are such an inspiration and I think The Midnight Quilt Show deserves an Emmy!!

[@houseofforbes]

Marlene Meloney violrhj

[@peggyyoung1839]

Love this variation so much

[@jeanisrael2732]

When quilting on a home sewing machine should you always start in the middle and work to the outside or has that rule changed? I love the piecing. I'm forcing myself to do the quilting. Thank you for tutorials on home sewing machine quilting. I love your show can't wait for more.

[@mumblesandwool1243]

Angela, have you ever seen eleanor burns do her HSTs? Her way is pretty fast as well. She does 2 rectangles RST (on one of her videos in the civil war quilts series) and draws 2 squares side by side on the top rectangle and 2 diagonal lines (making kinda like a teepee or a triangle) then sews along the diagonal and cuts them and she gets 4 at a time. (Easier to see than explain) I saw it the other day (i know im late to the party) and it blew my mind! I do my hsts the way you do, and i had thought that was fast and clever. I didnt realise there were more ways besides the way we do, the triangle way and the magic 8 way 😯

[@patriciaward9362]

I noticed that some of your finished quilt blocks were different from the ones you were sewing together midway through the show. It looks like you decided to take out the blocks that were almost all dark fabrics. You’re finished turn dash quilt turned out very nice!

[@staceyr1327]

Patricia Ward I noticed that too. The third one on the right at 9:12 looks like it has a mistake in it. There should be more of the lighter colour either in the corners of the sides. It looks like she picked up on that and switched that block out. It's still there at 10:18 but not after that.

[@JeanVenezia]

Lovet this but WAIT, is that a new wedding ring set? Gorgeous!!!! Hurry up and start the season already, LOL.

[@lamwa13]

Another great episode. Can't wait for the next season. Enjoy the break! We'll wait. ;)

[@ameena81]

Amazing 👌🏻 we will miss you. Honestly I keep watching the show again and again because it is very inspiring I enjoy it

[@lilyfancyfashion5402]

Very nice

[@mickyroman9315]

Thank you for your great videos. Looking forward to the next season!

[@JettAtchley]

I know it must take a lot on your part to put these tutorials together and I appreciate you. I look forward to the next season, BTW when does that start again? Thanks for all the great tutorials!!

[@melissab.3377]

Do you square up the flying geese and do you square up blocks when you are finished? Simply love your tutorials! I have this pattern. Can't wait to try it! Working on variable wallflower quilt for my daughter-in-law for Christmas this year.

[@rqc357]

Angela I am a huge fan of your show. You have a sailboat quilt you showed briefly in another episode showcasing some christmas quilts you were completing. Wondering if you can tell where you got the patter from.

[@barbaramckenzie326]

I love your show - great ideas! One request for next season - could you occasionally show the quilting on your long-arm? Your long-arm abilities are so inspiring!

[@DoctorWhoMakeup]

Love the thread choice for this quilt! #myfirstquilt is a work in progress but it's coming along. I stumbled across one of your videos a few months ago and you inspired me to give quilt making a shot. So thank you so much!

[@mrs.alabama]

Look at you girl! Loving that pretty purple I see... Its one of my favorites! Gonna miss u!

[@frekybyrd]

I love your videos! Can you sometime do a quilt on you longarm after youve put one together for the show? I think that would be nice to see how you'd tackle quilting from there! Thanks so much for all you do.
