Of all the quilters you’re the most pleasant and I love all your patterns. You’re such an inspiration.

[@angelacannuli7194]

Hi Donna, I was looking for a way to put a circle in the middle of a quilt. I thought about the drunkard path and checked out lots of tutorials on KZbin, but they all seemed to want to use pins. It looked really difficult. I watched so many videos but was uninspired until I saw yours. I was able to make my own template and included the notches. By following your instructions I matched up the notches as I sewed along. Just magical and I achieved the result I wanted. Thank you for the very clear and simple instructions you give. I have learnt a lot from you.

[@lyndaslocum7575]

I love the name garden path instead of drunkards path. With the pretty fabrics you used it's a great name for your quilt

[@rickstewart985]

me, too! The name runkdards path always brings bad memories

[@chamberlin5705]

I don’t know why, but I could literally sit here and watch that quilting machine do it’s thing all day.

[@Ladywire19]

Me too. Trying to decide if I take out my dinning room table and install a quilt machine... My BFF has one. I love to pick out the patterns.

[@carynturrel8208]

If I had loose cash I'd buy one and make quilts just so I could load them on this machine and watch it work.

[@kerryl4031]

Mesmerising isn't it!!! :D

[@nkha23]

Right!?! I'm wondering what it all is. I've seen long arm machines, but I don't know how they do it all on their own. Are there special machines that do that or computer programs?

[@vickiefowler1429]

Same here. I sometimes rewatch her videos and skip to the quilting just to watch the machine work. If I could afford one, I know where I’d be every afternoon!

[@lucyhorritt3560]

Donna I can’t tell you what it means to me to finish work after a hard week on a Friday and find you’ve posted a new video. You’re such an inspiration and the videos are always beautifully shot.

Love these tutorial videos. Thanks

[@kellidelegal4776]

OMG!!! So glad someone has mentioned her nails!!! I don't know how many screenshots I've gotten of her videos on my phone JUST so I can show her nails to my nail tech to pick colors! I love Donna for so many reasons!!! 💖💖💖 Edit to add that I am finally getting my king size quilt back from my LAQ this weekend. I based it on her Hip to be Square free pattern and added several borders to it. Not to mention a bargello table runner, and those will not be the last! I'm thinking this Drunkard's Path might be perfect for a layer cake I'm waiting on the perfect pattern for! Yipee!!! I also made TONS of the Christmas Tree Napkins this past Christmas and my in laws even asked me to make more so that THEY could give them as gifts!

I love your videos. You are a pleasure to watch and I always learn something from you.

[@likeavirshin]

I fricking love your videos! I not only watch them to learn but if I can't sleep, I watch them to relax a bit. Your voice is calm and the processe of making something is very satisfying, specially when is done so well! I would love to try quilting but we're I live quilting cotton (or wherever other names it has) is not a thing really. You can find some fabrics but it is not advertise as such, it's just coincidence. And my sewing machine keeps acting up, so frustrating. Anyway I love your videos! And I always get amazed by your nails designs as a fellow nail enthusiast! In that case I do have like 500 nail polish bottles plus tools. I guess nail stuff is more common around the world 😆

[@andreaprice3267]

I love watching Donna's videos in the evening too. Very entertaining, interesting, calming and I always learn things.

[@merlewilcox611]

I cannot believe the give away quilt today is the one I have wanted to make for my granddaughter! She loved the greens and purples and I can't wait to enter the drawing. I've read & have the full set of Anne of Green Gables & loved the books. I've visited the area in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island & also have gone to the home of the author's (Lucy Maud Montgomery) aunt & uncle where she lived at one time. The lake of shining waters was outside her bedroom window. I've visited her gravesite in Cavendish, where every summer, it is totally covered with beautiful flowers. Amazing area to visit if given the chance.

[@elizabethjury2930]

Just love this quilt! Well i like all the quilts you make Donna. Fitting the two pieces reminds me of my dressmaking days ie vintage when you had to ease the fabric to fit. Thank you so much for sharing. 🌻

[@zelma8]

Omg, I had to do a double take and chuckle at your ONE SHOE!! It made me laugh because it reminded me of my husband, who every time he gets up from watching TV, only has one shoe because our puppy always runs away with the other one, LOL!!! 😂🤣

[@kraftymum]

It made me do a double take too. I just assumed she prefers to sew without a shoe. I’m the same when I see. My pedal foot is either bare, or at least a sock if it’s cold. 😆

[@barbshelly4760]

@@kraftymum lol me too! For some reason I kick off my slipper when I am sewing.

[@camillewinkleman5519]

I had to go back and watch the video again to see the one shoe!! My sister and I always say “You can tell you’re a quilter when you’re walking around with only one slipper on.”

[@salliemcd]

Thank you very much for this video. You explain everything quite perfectly.

Fabulous job as always and kudos to your incredible cameraman or camerawoman! 👏🏻

Donna, I’m glad that I’m not the only one who walks around with either one slipper or shoe on while I’m sewing. 🥳

[@pamelal3903]

I noticed that too! Lol

[@arianaorton3658]

My eye catches the strangest, most irrelevant things! Donna, why are you only wearing one shoe when you are at the long-arm? Also, thank you for another great tutorial. Yours are always my favorites. You make things easy to follow, you show the steps simply, get right to the point, and explain it to me like I’m a newbie every time. Your color choices are interesting so that makes it fun to watch also. Kudos to your filming and editing crew. I get so excited every time I see you have dropped a new video.!

You're right, that is a lot easier method than the pinning (and then rip out and do again) method I learned in my beginner's class in 2019! Your quilt is lovely and it is such a treat to hear you relate the story of Anne as I happen to be from Prince Edward Island:)

[@zandramangrum5483]

Drunkard’s Path was the first quilt I pieced...I had it hand quilted by a group of ladies that I had known most of my life. One of the ladies had been my Sunday school teacher for years. Sadly, my quilt was the last she quilted with the group as she passed the day after my quilt was finished. I asked the ladies to sign their name and I’ve embroidered their name on the quilt. Love the Drunkard’s Path pattern, but it can be a booger to piece, but Donna’s instructions make it so much easier.

[@amyreay5007]

I love your channel! The way you explain things makes them seem so much easier than I have tried to mske them! I also enjoy knowing you are from GP. We lived down there (Rogue Valley)for almost 8 years. (Medford. Phoenix, Medford, Talent) before moving up here (NW of Salem)My niece actually just moved from GP to Tx and one of my daughters lives in Winston) I am completely self taught. I started with pillow cases then curtains. A couple Christmases ago I made everyone in my family their own quilt. The starting plan was for each person to have a personalized one. But, sadly that's not how things worked out. I was sewing at my kitchen table right after returning from buying a TON of fabric. I was SO EXCITED! I had just found almost everything I needed to make the 9 quilts needed for my husband, son, 4 daughters, their 2 boyfriends. and my grandson. I had the cord to the machine stretched between the kitchen counter and the table when someone let my dogs in. Luna is 1/2 German Shepherd and a big sweet girl. As she came running in she ran under the cord for my sewing machine and pulled it off the table! I did one of those loud high pitched gasps and she stopped in he tracks. We both stood there staring at my sewing machine as it lay on the kitchen floor in a bunch of pieces. Me with my hand over my mouth and tears streaming down my face. Luna with her normally tall and proud ears laying back on her head and her tail tucked between her legs. I couldn't be mad at her when she looked up at me with those big brown heartbreakingly sad eyes. It was my fault after all. I just didn't know how I was going to sew all those quilts without my sewing machine! That April afternoon started my "quilt quest of 2020" Besides 2020 being the year of Covid it also marked many other things for our family. Our 4th (of 5 kids) graduated from college but because of Covid nobody saw her walk across the stage with all her cords etc and accept her diploma and congratulations for all her accomplishments. We lost many dear friends and family (none to covid) But, as a country we were all told to stay home. and if we had to go out wear masks and stay 6ft away from eachother. I have always loved blankets and big sweaters. I've told my kids that I feel like they are like wrapping myself up in a hug and if they are from a person even better. So the quilts for Christmas were going to be my way of hugging my family from a distance. I began the search for a machine It ended up with me buying 4 used, borrowing 1, before buying one that finally arrived in December! I then OVERCOMPLICATED the ones I made for my oldest daughter, and grandson ( I decided that the one I made for her could be the "family one"), They got thrirs the week after Christmas but it meant I spent a lot if sleepless nights and did a lot of hand quilting, I then did the ones for the other 4 kids ( all adults) and decided that the boyfriend wasn't getting one. My poor husband STILL hasn't gotten his! I have had 18 months of major health crisis and even though I watch quilting videos every day I sadly haven't been able to sit down at my machine ( I even have a sewing room now) to work on it. My plan is to start working a little every day to make my sewing room more accessable for me and get it done. Sorry for such a long post but I think ANNE would approve 😉I just wanted you ro know I appreciate you and to tell others that it diesnt HAVE to be complicated to be beautiful. Take a step back, look at it and see if maybe just maybe you can take what looks like you are tying yourself in knots to do, break it down and male it simple. 🤯😏😃🙌🪡🧵✂️📐📏💟🔲🔳 Blessings!
