MADE MY OWN PATTERN! Donna's FREE BEADS Quilt!

[@beckyosborn9175]

I would love to live in your store. All that fabric, I wouldn’t eat or sleep, just sew forever and ever!

[@Sam_the_quilter]

Donna Jordan is queen of quilts. Seriously. I absolutely adore her. What a brilliant talent.

[@EzequielRodriguez-pi5uk]

Each time a new video comes up... I always stop what I'm doing just to watch. Seeing quilts being made is so satisfying.

[@ulrikebohm4945]

Me too 🙈😉

[@dixiepedersen1833]

I agreed

[@starssky3681]

Me too 😍

[@dis9168]

I drop everything too

[@patmorehead2690]

Donna, we thank you so much for always amazing us with your patterns and color choices. No matter how tired you may get, always know that we appreciate everything you do.

[@davidhensley76]

It's midnight on the east coast and a new Donna video drops. Good thing I'm still awake.

[@kaybutcher5719]

Thank you for the free pattern PDF’s. This terrible inflation is killing us especially being on a fixed income. Appreciate your generosity to your KZbin fans!

[@kaif1360]

They are both fantastic but I love the cream background best ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sallywu1889]

Thanks so much and I love the lite one. You are wonderful teacher to me . I learned and enjoyed every one that you show how to make. Thanks again .

[@lelasijtsma6609]

Love the colored background. Thank you for sharing your pattern. You are the only one who teaches about the grain of the fabric, so the quilt lays flat. Thank you!

[@claramhernandez2883]

The pale turquoise with the roses looks amazing... it looks so vintage and cozy... I just love it! 🥰

[@cbarszc]

You are a natural for video instruction. All your videos are professional with great camera and audio and easy to watch. I like your pattern and thank you for having it free to download.

[@julendia]

You are my sunshine, one of my sunshine’s. You make me happy when new video comes. You’ll never know dear ( Donna ) how much we love ( and appreciate you ) can’t wait for the next video to come 🤣 I love the linen beads quilt the best because the beads 💎 really pop!!!! You are an excellent teacher!!!

[@KateGas]

I can’t figure out how to add the side triangles. Help!!

[@nannettjordan671]

@@KateGas you need to add the triangles as part of each row. So when you lay out your pieces on a design wall or a spare bed, you'll be able to see what side of the triangle that needs to be sewn to the row. Once each row is sewn, then you sew rows together. It's best to sew one half the quilt top then the next. The Last part is to sew the two halves together

[@anitajonsson4379]

Hi Donna 💖 This morning, I watched this video for the second time. I am not sure when I first watched your Bead Quilt video, but I know it has been months. I absolutely love the pattern. Right from the first, I wanted to make your Bead Quilt. My take aways, after tuning in for a second time are these. First, I am now even more determined to make your beautifully stylized quilt. Second, I realized I should be listening with pen and notebook in hand: you definitely give important make or break--but easily doable--advice for ensuring long lasting, professional looking results. Third, I remembered what I had imagined when you first introduced me to your new quilt pattern, Christmas Decorating. Do you think your beautiful beads pattern would look elegant if the beads and backing were made using luxurious Christmas fabric? Fourth, I had forgotten that you had made two completely unique versions of this pattern using very different fabric collections (I cannot pick which quilt I like best. I love them both! Which quilt I will make will depend on who it is for and what the occasion happens to be.) Fifth, I absolutely never tire of watching your quilting tutorials. Every single time I have watched one of your videos, I am amazed by how many ways you over deliver and expand the possibilities for your subscribers benefit. 📣Thank you most sincerely! 🏆✨

[@dallastaylor5479]

I like the quill fabric quilt. It's a warm calming Victorian feel.

[@jodylatwesen5487]

I have to tell you that I definitely can’t decide which color way I like more. They look completely different from one another. Thank you for making such beautiful quilts and sharing with us here on KZbin!

[@christypoos9728]

Love that your teaching to measure the borders from center of the Quilt. It makes flawless borders that hangs evenly.. Well done Donna.

[@nancywhite8960]

Beautiful pattern and beautifully presented. As a very experienced Quilter, I enjoy your videos and recommend them to all my quilting friends especially the newer Quilters. Your choices of color, design and even quilting pattern are very pleasingly combined. Now if I just lived a bit closer--

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

Reminds me of the beaded curtains I used to see in doorways when I was young. Dating me a bit I know but I love this quilt and as usual you have done a great job of teaching!!!

[@lindashennum229]

I thought the same thing, Lynda.

[@alicetrantham5251]

I prefer the original version best. Thank you for all your videos and a very big thank you for sharing so many free patterns. I truly enjoy your work.

[@KimEichelberger]

Love the vintage vibe of the second beads quilt with color background and print beads.....makes me happy to see it!

[@kathgleeson2429]

Donna all your quilts are beautiful and I love it when you do it in a light background and a coloured background. It gives me plenty of food for thought. Thanks to everyone in your team for all your hard work.

[@wendyaulis4624]

What a gorgeous blanket. I love the one that you made in the video on white. It's so beautiful

[@lindabarrow8]

Quilt is layers of fabric, batting and backing. Blanket is usilually woven.

[@beckycochran8321]

Both are lovely Donna! I have board envy Donna, your space is wonderful. Thank you for this video.

[@MizzRowe]

I like the first quilt. It has a "happier" feel to it.

[@helenepdp2664]

Thank you very Munch.i am french and i don't speak english to write more but you are my sun. Thank you for all quilt.LN

[@pamelaw5758]

Both quilts are beautiful! Can't choose between them. 💃

[@bethhillier1214]

I prefer the solid blocks on the white background. Makes the colours pop more.

[@gloriawojo7414]

I like the one with all the colors and the light cream background. I love your videos. I wish I had the time and energy to make all of them. Your instruction technique is fabulous!

[@bowman0416]

Beautiful, I was thinking Christmas with this quilt pattern. I love the second one it totally looks vintage.

[@sandybettencourt5735]

I agree!

[@carmenbailey1560]

I second that, love the pattern ❤️

[@anitamorrison4992]

WOW, they are both beautiful!! The colors show better in the cream but I like the green grunge just a little better

[@lutsen110]

I love this quilt! You are such an inspiration to me and an amazing teacher, Donna - you explain slowly and clearly, give the WHY to your technique and just have the most efficient methods. I look forward to each new video - from ‘shopping’ for fabrics to the finished quilt. Thank you!

[@patsylarrycash7500]

My first time to watch your video! I am so pleased with it and will be watching more. Thank you.

[@tonyablunck3949]

Love it!! Thank you for the free pattern!! I've been wanting to make something for our coach. This makes me think of State Swimming and Diving Conference with all the lanes. I think I'll try it with a blue back ground for water and then the lane ropes. Donna, you are amazing. You inspire me with every video!!

[@karenjohns8859]

Tonya Blunck I love that idea! My daughter was a swimmer and it does look like lane lines!

[@little1942]

Tonya Blunck Now that you mention it, it does look like swimming lanes! This would be an awesome quilt for your coach and easy to get together too. I sure would love to see how that turns out. Have fun making it.

[@ceciliasgrandaughter]

I love both of your strings of beads quilts Donna. One is modern the other with a beautifully vintage feel. All your designs are magic 🌟 and give wonderful mood changes and ambiance....keep going!! Your work ethic & passion for quilting is phenomenal 💫🥁

[@laurielohoefner4340]

I love the lighter background...you guys are great. It's like being in your store and having personal tutorials.

[@antoinettefarrugia6513]

Always you make beautiful quilts and you are amazing 😻I love the second one you were showing not the one it’s hanging.

[@melissamusick21]

Thank you for another wonderful tutorial! I love this pattern, and I really appreciate that it is free. You are a wonderful teacher. I love both quilts, but the one with the cream background is my favorite.

[@annking6037]

I love your videos. I love the quilt with the cream backing best. Your a very talented lady. Thank you Donna

[@judyhendrickson784]

This quilt is beautiful. Thanks for your generosity in giving us a free pattern. This is going on my list of "must have". I love this quilt.

[@mgriffis1303]

I have become addicted to your videos! I don't even try to get rid of yours because it is so fascinating watching again and again. I keep winning to my daughter that I need another sewing machine so I can get my hand in with something easy to try. You are the best teacher I have seen and actually enjoy just watching the process. I would loveto get my hands on some of that beautiful fabric!

[@victoriaheckman5933]

I really like your Beads pattern. My grand daughter is fascinated with beads and necklaces and pendants. I like how you showed how simple it is to cut the strips and turn those simple strips into a beautiful quilt. You make it look so easy.

[@bettyperkins5394]

Not a quilter yet, but Really love the one w/white. Shows up the other colors. Just enjoy watching u do ur work. U make it look easy & fun.

[@candiskennard8417]

Donna, this video tutorial is just one reason I subscribe to your KZbin channel and your email list. You are so creative and you actually EXPLAIN WHY we should be doing something a particular way. Thank you!

[@janetbailey4282]

The green is stunning

[@roxannemierow4077]

I love the second one (with the colored background). It is waaaaay cool.

[@margm4]

Love both, but presence for second one...love those earthy tones. Thanks for your pattern and hints 🇦🇺

[@3catscarefreelife]

They are both beautiful!

[@susiesue590]

Your videos are so helpful I would never have thought I could make this quilt but I just did , great to be able to come back and watch the video whenever I needed help with placing the blocks . Thank you so much 😊

[@donnapatrick1256]

I have watched this video over and over.. love it.. thank you so much for sharing your gift with us.

[@galewatkins3880]

I love both quilts but the bone back ground is my favorite.

[@stellamozzarella1]

The first one is so very nice but my favorite is the Quill It makes you feel comfortable.

[@gameswild1]

Both are beautiful but the 2nd one is my favorite

[@christinevanzyl5951]

So pretty both colour ways. I remember granny in 1960s having a bead curtain. Going to try this pattern. Just done ur 9 patch disappearing 4 starters as a newbie quilter. ❤ the turning of the squares and stuff

[@cynthiapahnka1214]

I've never quilted before but I'm in the process of putting equipment together so I can start. Thank you for the free patterns & tutorials. My confidence level is climbing. You really make this look achievable, even for a newbie like me.

[@artisticpets]

Hi Donna, I am relatively new to quilting on my own. I sat with my grandmother as she quilted the old fashioned way, and although I love quilts and admired from afar, I never thought I would be able to actually quilt myself. My first quilt was 4 years ago with my seniors group at our local craft meeting and we made Trip Around The World lap quilts to auction off among the entire senior members. We didn't quilt them because we didn't have the space so we just tied them. I was hooked! We did a multi-colored one and then I decided to do a Christmas one. After finishing that one I took it to show my Mom & she loved it so much she wanted me to make her a fall one, her favorite colors. Well, up to this point, I just figured that was going to be my go to, and I was fine with that. Until I found You Tube tutorials, and now I have watched different patterns that look incredibly difficult being made before my very eyes & I must tell you, Miss Donna (which was my Mom's name-unfortunately I lost her about 6 months after I gave her her quilt) that I love beading, so when I saw this picture I had to watch, and you've convinced me that I can not only bead jewelry, but now I can add beaded quilts to my bag of tricks! Thank you Miss Donna, I will be watching all of your video's for more quilts that I can possibly quilt in my lifetime, but oh the dreams!

[@bevcote2357]

Both are stunning! The cream background is my preference. Thank you. Blessings.

[@cindyyeager8627]

Even though I don't have time to quilt your videos are a great lesson in color selection.

[@LAUREL5784]

I LOVE this new pattern! I loved the look of the first one, with the linen-look cottons and that curvy quilting over the geometric lines... but then the Moda floral is soo beautiful.. looks completely different! (I will have to choose BOTH)

[@tracyschearer3909]

WOW both of these are gorgeous, I would have a hard time choosing which one I love best!

[@sunaamoil]

You are so good .i just love watching.please don’t stop

[@lizh2752]

I like the linen look fabrics the best. They show up so well. Thanks for sharing, I am putting this on my list!

[@isabelroberto2158]

The second fabric choice is definitely my favorite. The background is gorgeous!

[@akarpowicz]

I like the quill fabric quilt best. Serene and cheerful impression, perfect for sleeping. Thank you!

[@earth2becky]

wow, beautiful quilt, Donna! Thanks so much for walking us through your thought process and all the secret tips you've learned. I think both are beautiful. The colorful one is so vibrant, but I also really love the subtlety and softer colors in the second one. Thank you!!

[@martincampion7126]

I love the one with the cream background, just love those diamond beads. Thank you Shirley

[@marypino3125]

Donna!! Thank you sew much. This reminds me of Mardi Gras beads! #Louisiana 😁

[@kjones4328]

Well Done!!! Both have a simple elegance to them. As far as which one is nicer, that is driven by the room it's displayed in.

[@ellenmattioli3349]

The cream background is my favorite. The “beads” look like jewels. Gorgeous!

[@dianareddell1496]

I love the quill quilt better. It looks so cozy in those colors.

[@susanortiz3992]

You're my favorite! 😁 However, my favorite quilt is the one with the linen texture... I think the colors pop more.

[@bella-bee]

I’ve just watched this silently, no headphones and DH is asleep! I wanted to say thanks for your gestures! I’ve watched a lot of your videos so I can guess what you’re teaching us, but your gestures just said it all, bias, pressing direction, borders, the lot, and a very pretty quilt. Thank you.

[@teresameloy9553]

I’m so happy I came across your video. I love both quilts but the first one with the light background is my favorite.

[@karenbackus1531]

Donna, I just love this quilt in the cream background especially. Love your videos, you are just the best.

[@annebabcock1371]

How fun! I'm going to make this in Xmas fabric. Can't wait!!

[@rebeccawaid9323]

That is my thought...perfect for some of the beautiful holiday fabric she shows us that they have.

[@tammy3127]

I like them both, but I prefer the cream background also! Love your videos!

[@margaretquinn8583]

I love both quilts and they're a perfect illustration of how changing the fabric alters the entire look of a piece. If forced to choose, I'd go for the moda quill - I love the background colour!

[@vickielynnegilmer9883]

Moda Quill is my favorite also.

[@donnaallison6225]

The cream is my favorite. All of your quilts are beautiful. I am enjoying your videos, I like the fact that you get right to the video. You are so talented!

[@Dinnadoit2]

Love your colour choice, I made one similar a few months ago that i found on Pinterest called the Chandelier quilt. Did mine in shades of blue ☺

[@aileensnapp5820]

They are both so beautiful

[@PamelaLUSAF]

Loved this video! I loved the second quilt most only because they spoke more to my taste. Love the pattern. Great work and thanks for all your help!

[@stephanieswonger2421]

Beautiful pattern! I like the grunge one best.

[@katherined.7643]

I love this!! It is amazing how you come up with these patterns! And my favorite is the first one!

[@cliffbaker7543]

I love the green background on your bead blanket, I’m a lover of the colour green. Love watching watching your videos. Carol

[@ladyd54]

I love both of the fabric choices. The first one reminds me of the 70’s with the hanging beads for doors/windows and the second fabric choice bring thought of pastel beaded jewelry.

[@CrossRoads88]

I could feel your excitement as you made the first quilt the jewels quilt the second one is beautiful also but watching your excitement about the first one would be my favorite

[@carmenbailey1560]

Love this pattern, thank you so much for sharing. Now I want to do a Christmas theme with this pattern. Love both of yours, but if I have to chose It’s going to be the formal print or maybe one of each.

[@triciajorke792]

Both a beautiful but I prefer the cream colored background. Love the design and you made it look so easy to make.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

Hi, Donna! I love the simplicity of this pattern! Wow, I can do a lot with thus pattern 😊 while both quilts are beautiful, I am really taken with the darker background quilt. I've got to make one. Many thanks for the free pattern. Now, I'll be digging through my stash.

[@juliehughes7480]

I love Donna Jordan and her tutorials.

[@jeanross8235]

loved, loved. Am leaving for a quilting retreat tomorrow here in Oklahoma and I am making this. Have some fat eights just waiting for the right pattern and I have found it. Definitely love the light background design - im a winter color person!! Your instructions are so on the spot and short but sweet. So glad I found your utube channel.

[@kathypatten1675]

Love them both, but my favorite is the darker background! Great tutorial!

[@2fapple]

Well, the bright one attracts my bold, let’s-go-have-fun attributes and the soft one attracts my soft, cuddle, nostalgic, inner part.

[@kokogough725]

Just love these!! Both of them!

[@charlenemartin4640]

The second quilt is my favorite...

[@gloriafoster7775]

I like them both equally well for different reasons. I wasn't sure if I liked this pattern, but you make the quilts look so beautiful, how can I now like them. The colors are perfect for my home. Bless you and thank you for all you and Matt do for us.

[@deborahrobinson1731]

Absolutely Beautiful! I Love the pattern. Their both beautiful but I think I like the second one the Best! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nildavalencia5524]

I love them both. One dramatic the other is romantic. I might use bright floral. Thank you your creation are fabulous.

[@elaineadair]

I like the first one on light background, but the second one is also wonderful, just depends on preferences!

[@patriciamoses1322]

I enjoy watching you make these beautiful quits . You make it easier than it is but I keep trying, Love the free patterns, I liked the bead quilt with the darker background, keep up the beautiful work

[@nedraolenick6215]

This makes the Chandelier pattern by Vanessa Goertzen (Charm School book) much easier and quicker. 🙂👍🏻

[@angelaowens1075]

I love both of them. I would use the cream one in the spring and summer and the other one in fall and winter!

[@maggiedebonis6767]

Love them both, but something about the second one really catches my eye.. You're work is beautiful

[@geraleenlemon1704]

Donna I like the first quilt pattern. Beautiful blending of the solid colors.
