My Gosh Fran! Well done, AGAIN. You are so talented! Thank you.

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Conny, you're too kind 🥰

[@angelawagner1264]

Couldn’t pick one better then another beautiful

[@pamkucab1209]

Matchmaker episodes are my very favorites and this one did not disappoint. I love every one. As usual, you did a great job. Thank you so much!

[@debbymccauley4774]

Wow wow wow! You really nailed this Fran. I love hearing the fabric and quilt stories. My favorite is Sandy's vintage heart & lace fabric. You did a wonderful job....love this Matchmaker Quilt Series.

[@marthahale2364]

3 terrific matches!

[@psum6537]

I really love Fabric Café because it feels so real. I believe you really do love what you do, and you include real emotions in what you do. You treat us like REAL people, not just “viewers”. You put so much work into helping others. No other site like yours. I always take away something from each video. Keep on teaching, and we will keep on learning. I don’t know if you are believers, but here’s a blessing for you. Merry Christmas and May the Lord our God abundantly bless you and yours with peace, love, prosperity, good health, and let’s not forget humor!❤❤

[@FabricCafe]

You made us smile today, Pat. Thank you for the kind words. We are blessed to get to do what we do and share it with all of you, and even more blessed that it is helpful, entertaining and enjoyed by all of you. Thank you for spending time with us every week, Pat. Many blessings to you this Christmas season. 💜😊

[@carolblackall6560]

Well done, Fran. I always look forward to all the videos from Fabric Cafe.

[@cathylombard964]

You did an exceptional job matching fabric to that “candy” fabric. You always do a wonderful job with your pairings. I think this one is the best so far.

[@carlindatrenholm6586]

I agree Cathy. Being a rebel and switching the fabrics was the right idea. That black and blue in their positions was absolutely stunning!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Cathy! I really like how it turned out.

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

I love when you do these videos! You knocked it out of the ballpark!

[@emmasquiltinglegacy9142]

Fran: Homerun on all three quilts! Love them!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Emma!

[@lesleymeyers962]

👏👏👏😊😊 Wonderfully done. Fran I just love your fabric choices.

[@peggygonzales6907]

I always look forward to you doing the Matchmaker. I love all of your choices and you also inspired me on how to use some of the fabric I've collected!

[@FabricCafe]

Awesome! That is our goal!

[@kathelbean]

Fran, you knocked it out of the park on all three!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Kathy!

[@sandymichel5791]

Love the second quilt the one the star.

[@juanitahooker132]

I love the love letters. ❤❤❤

[@vickiheath6133]

This was a great show. You did a wonderful job in matching the fabrics sent in

[@annielyst]

Beautiful quilts and kits!

[@marshawallace7522]

Great fabric and pattern choices for each fabric submitted, Fran. I so much look forward to seeing the "Matchmaker" series and hearing the stories behind the fabrics. This particular group of stories are so touching and I enjoyed hearing each one.

[@faithrembisz112]

Can’t tell you how excited I was to see my perfect match! It is going to be amazing! Thanks so much Fran. I love it!!!❤❤❤❤

[@FabricCafe]

I'm so glad!

[@bettylarks8134]

I loved all the matches you made on this episode, but my favorite was the candy one. I especially loved the guest's fabric.

[@juliemorrison4348]

Great job Fran. Beautiful fabric swatches and stories today and your matches were perfect for each. The ladies will be so lucky to receive the kits.♥️🇦🇺

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Julie! Thanks for spending time with us 💜

[@michaelandeileenkilloran8310]

Wow! Fran your fabrics for Sandra’s Traditions quilt are perfect. It’s obvious how much finding the perfect fabrics for this quilt (as well as the others) meant to you. Just so lovely. Thank you.

[@jenmckitrick]

I think you did a wonderful job matching the fabrics. My favorite was the candy. What a fun quilt that will be!

[@vickiheath6133]

Oh my gosh I like that first black back ground fabric with the candy

[@dnetlayton3456]

I love these matchmaker videos. Thank you so much for doing them!

[@emmonstrex65]

Of all the quilting videos I watch- this is my favorite. This personifies why we quilt - it's a showcase on the wonderfulness of the quilting world. ❤️

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Patti! 😊😊😊💜💜💜

[@anitaleach520]

Love the Traditions quilt you came up with, for her deep rose colors, that is stunning! Truly though, all 3 are beautiful and so are the kits you made.

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you so much, Anita!

[@lindaloostrom7025]

Great video!! You do a great job Fran

[@paulasmith6169]

All are beautiful matches. Great job Fran. You have an excellent eye for colors.

[@marthadriskel4963]

Great fabric and choice for each pattern. Love your videos

[@lynnperschke3966]

The love letters quilt is absolutely stunning

[@manuelashannon1369]

That’s perfect for Valentines

[@pamlacey136]

I always enjoy your videos but I especially like these with the viewer fabrics and stories. They are so enjoyable. My favorite was the Love Letters as I love anything with a Victorian feel. In fact, I just had to order that one!! I have ordered several off your kits because I took up quilting late in life. I want to make a quilt for all eight of my grandchildren and my one great grandchild so I am using the Fabric Cafe kits and pattern books to piece a quilt for all of them. Thanks so much.

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Pam! Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed the Love Letters quilt kit. It's never too late to start! Your grandkids are lucky to have you and we're blessed that our patterns and kits will be able to help you create a lasting memory for them. 💜

[@virginialegault4699]

Fran you always choose the best fabrics. No one else comes close

[@cassieplayford634]

Beautiful choices Fran! Love them all. 💕

[@estelasteele1173]

OMG the candy fabric! Fran, you really created a wonderful quilt, both for our new grandmother and the one the rest of us get to make. And... the second one! WOW! All three are fantastic.

[@JanetJabber]

I enjoyed these fabrics so much. Thank you

[@genisehancock5248]

I like that you show the quilt made up. Thx

[@FabricCafe]

We try to show an image of the finished quilt as much as we can, I know it helps a lot to "see" it done. Thanks for watching Genise!

[@joanncall1525]

Every one of them was a hit for me. All of them were beautiful.

[@rosieg.5593]

Fran God bless your tenderness with folks and your color-talent & pattern guidance!

[@judycurtis44]

Perfect selection on all three. You do a great job matching all the materials. I've made many 3 yard quilts including QOV our veterans and all have turned out beautiful. Thank you for a fantastic job to you and your mother for designing great quilts.

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Judy, and thanks for the work you've done for our veterans and QOV 😊💜

[@moniquegoldsberry2601]

I love the Bold Block pattern. I've made several. I have to say I take a lot of pride of having made one for my son in the Navy. He has so many hobbies but photography is his favorite one. He was so happy when he received his camera quilt. I had the camera fabric since 2012 and 10 years later, I finally had the courage to cut it up. I am happy with how it turned out bur more so that my son loves his quilt. He's 40 yrs old but he says I am the best mommy ever!!! I so love the 3 yd patterns!!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you for sharing your story, Monique! So glad you were able to make such a cherished quilt for your son. Thank him for his service for us 😊

[@donnadixon3047]

Love them all. Great job. They go together beautifully 😍 ✨️ 💕

[@MagicHeide]

❤ wonderful job with all of them, Fran!

[@manuelashannon1369]

The Sweetheart fabric was a great match.

[@marionbartley214]

Fran today had very sweet stories, along with interesting fabrics. I love all the corresponding fabrics you chose. And the quilt patterns were great choices. Thanks for this video today it's hard to choose a favorite because they all were so sweet and nice. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Marion, Merry Christmas to you as well! Hoping for many blessings for you and yours this holiday season.

[@mollysmith7191]

Fran, another excellent match-maker video! Along with choosing fabrics to co-ordinate with the initial fabric, explaining your choices gives us tips to use when we choose fabric. The slide showing the finished top helps visually & of course, the stories give heart & love to it all. Thanks to you & your team for all your work!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Molly!

[@mereldaokelberry]

I loved all of your matches today but my # 1 was the pink background birds and triangles.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks Merelda, yes that one is stunning!

[@johndoe3947]

You sure did great job! Love the stories!

[@anitanoland9188]

All three quilt are beautiful! Love how you can match the fabrics and the images are awesome!!

[@selwynknap6121]

Wow...all of these were GREAT!

[@nancyheneghan4760]

Great choices! The love letters one almost broke my heart. Flights of fancy is a great pattern

[@shulsart]

Awesome job, Fran. I loved all 3 of them.

[@cliffordcarroll9320]

Excellent choices and presentation!!!

[@lisastreasures]

This was so fun to watch. Glad my mother in law suggested you to me.

[@FabricCafe]

We are, too! Thanks Lisa!

[@wilycat5290]

I like all the fabric combinations you chose. Just lovely. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

[@cherylmorris9307]

Terrific matchmaking,job well done. I like the second one, I felt the love as you read the story.

[@thebeehivebuzz9884]

Great job, especially with the candy fabric! Everything looks stunning!

[@FabricCafe]

🍬🍭🍫

[@tchr1106]

I enjoy these episodes so much!

[@FabricCafe]

So glad, Roxanna! Thanks so much for watching!

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

I’m stumped. I liked them all!!

[@marshawallace7522]

Fran, I absolutely love the fabrics and pattern you selected for the beautiful candy print fabric sent in. I also LOVE the fabrics selected for a kit for everyone else. I especially like the "sprinkles" fabric for the background and the gorgeous fabric 3 compliments both 1 & 2. You hit this out of the park!

[@quiltmaker8461]

Love all your selections! 🪡🧵

[@stevenlivingston2511]

I really like the last pattern Birds of Happiness. I think I have a great fabric to start that quilt.

[@lynnperschke3966]

This one of your favorite segments

[@debbiepurser8101]

Your so good at matching fabric !

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you, Debbie! 💜

[@donnaheflin6312]

GREAT job as always!

[@christinedye957]

I love your selections, they are so pretty and perfect. Thank you

[@sandybruce9092]

Good morning to you lovely girls! Another great video is coming and I can hardly wait to view it. I recently found the newest book, so I bought it and gave it to my husband so he doesn’t have to “try” to shop for it to give it to me for Christmas!!!!! Love your videos and I do screen shots of all the different ways to use those 3-yard fabrics!

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Sandy! Thanks for your note this morning! Hope you enjoy your Christmas present 😉 What a clever idea to screenshot different moments so you can have them on hand! Way to go! Have a wonderful week!

[@barbarawiedrich9699]

I loved all of your match's. My favorite has to be Sandra's Fabric, but I also loved Faith's. They are all beautiful and the stories very heart warming. Thank you for sharing!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you for watching, Barbara! The show wouldn't be what it is without the beautiful fabric you all have in your stash!

[@franklyfostertv]

I love it!

[@tinacmommens5459]

Oh my gosh, these are all so beautiful & the stories were so moving. ❤️

[@elainep9239]

Hi Fran. i love your matchmaker series! I always learn so much from each episode. i know it is extra effort but i love seeing renderings of the pattern and an alternative and why the final pattern was chosen. small details that take the quilt from great to amaazing! 💕 Happy Holidays.

[@pamflotte1065]

I would love to see more of the backing fabric choices. Your choice of color in the quilts you show are beautiful and I have learned so much. But, I struggle with the back side. Please give us a little peek at the back side, or even make a few suggestions. Love your videos!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks Pam! We'll keep that in mind and try to incorporate it more into our show 😊

[@debbietrapp7757]

Wonderful job on the fabric match, loved all your choices. Happy New Year to you ladies!

[@kendranewton9071]

Love your show. It always touches me when you read the letters. I just got your fat quarters book, could you do some videos on those too? Thank you, Merry Christmas.

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Kendra! Awesome, I hope you enjoy it! We've produced a few videos for the Fat Quarter book in the past, you can see them here - kzbin.info/aero/PLGrocj6mKnJ8fTLrWB8cgTx4pmw8j3GbS (keep in mind that most of these kits/bundles will be sold out as they are older episodes, but you can still get some inspiration and see what Fran has to say about the book) 😊

[@annielyst]

So we need nearly 1.5 yards of a fabric to be able to send in a 12" square, right? Because we don't get it back and we need 1 yard to make the quilt.

[@jkscott5865]

You could use the extra fabric for the binding

[@annielyst]

@@jkscott5865 I have a fabric I'd like to send but I can't cut 12 inches off and still have a yard left.

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Rosa! Once your fabric is featured on Matchmaker, your swatch will be returned to you. Unfortunately, this does mean a square is cut from your existing stash. Often this piece can be used in the finished quilt. If needed, an additional fabric can be added for borders and bindings to make up the difference. Alternatively, you could send the whole 1-yard cut if you would like; that way you if you only have that 1-yard in your stash you can still use it after it is returned to you. Thanks for asking, it's a good question!

[@annielyst]

@@FabricCafe Good to know! I will send a fabric in.
