Donna, I always check out your nail polish....love it! The placemats are so cute and simple, Thanks for sharing!

[@marmeestitches401]

I love using placemats and like you, we use them every meal. Cardinals are my favorite, so these are especially beautiful to me.

[@sandramyer7081]

I learned and enjoyed your placemats tutorial again! Your step by step is really good to get your instructions. I loved the colors and the accents. Now I've found what I liked to do it Christmas! Thanks! Sandi💕🥰

[@momgrandma5496]

Great tips on choosing fabrics and their placement, these are easy and a nice gift.

[@susanmcarpenter1564]

Love your tutorials Donna all of your quilts are magnificent and I love this tutorial on your placemats...cheers Sue from Australia, I have watched and loved all your tutorials as I found them all in this year 2019 ..please keep them coming ..

[@savannahwillliams9693]

Thank you for your careful and detailed instructions: do you have a beginning quilters tutorial about basic definitions, tools and supplies, fabric and pattern and color choices?

[@chandracox6814]

In previous videos, yes.

[@manviralowal7655]

Very nice mam.i going to try this thank you

[@denisek5208]

This is a great tutorial! It's never too early to start on Christmas projects. Thanks for sharing

[@gloriadossantossantos2982]

Trabalho lindo!!

[@delmariesnodgrass5038]

Love the placemats. Thank you for another amazing video tutorial!

[@SueHeil-nq8vm]

Donna, Thank you for another great video! Love this and starting Christmas gifts!

[@conniehoagland71]

Is the adorable backing fabric, with little houses and trees still available?

[@kathyf3656]

Donna, I believe those are Cardinals rather than Red Robins. LOL I know quilt shops like yours carry and sell a lot of pre-cuts, but I wish you would consider those of us who can't afford, or don't want to buy pre-cuts. Can you please do projects once in awhile that use yardage, or only 3 to 5 colors, instead of the scrappy pre-cut look? Thanks for all you do. I save all your videos and recommend them to others all the time.

[@anamariacamposguevara7423]

What is the name of the pattern quilt you gave for giveaway and of the fabric you used for it?

[@darlasmith7549]

Donna, thank you for gently nudging us to get started on Christmas projects. This pattern is so simple to make, thanks for the free pattern. I always download the freebies for future use.

[@shaferhrisco7109]

I.njoy. Program.

[@annnon5754]

Love the backing. Does anyone know what it is?

[@jordanfabrics8380]

I used Wintertide 1450 Green. We are all out, but have lots of Splendid prints here: jordanfabrics.com/search?q=splendid%20yard

[@karentreatkern8945]

I watch all your tutorials! In the past, I've always hand sewn and pieced my quilt tops and hand quilted....until I started watching your videos. So many tips and well explained. I've now machine pieced two quilt tops without the frustration and anxiety as when I've tried before. Thanks Donna! Big hugs from the Arkansas Ozarks!🤗

[@sarah_was_taken]

Yay! I was wondering when the next video would be up. Been missing you guys!

[@cantbsimple]

Me too! I am such as addict.....LOL

[@maggiesmonogramsmorecustom3843]

Thanks Donna! I want to use this pattern for a tablerunner! (I will be making my own charm squares, however!)

[@nkhonoshale5007]

As always I am amazed at how confident you make the viewer feel watching your titorials. Thank you for making me feel determined to come up with some surprises. By the way , i have not figured out how to get the "Give Away" where there is one provided at the end of the tutorial. How do I go about getting one?

[@evalcrazylady]

Looks beautiful and somewhat way to do. I love tthem

[@karenbassett7509]

red robins? I think they are called cardinals :) beautiful placemats

[@PattymacMakes]

Karen Bassett definitely a cardinal. 😂😂

[@smiles813]

That made me laugh! - Robin

[@justmeperthau]

You never cease to amaze me with your wonderful patterns and your generosity in sharing them. They are very bright, cheerful and festive Donna. Thank you

[@lindachristianson4560]

What fun! I just finished two tops in Shooting Stars and I been thinking about Christmas So Thanks, thanks for Placemats and You tube. I learn some tips.

[@peapod8]

You are a joy. God bless your wonderful heart.

[@danielleh6512]

Those placemats are so fun and really seem achievable. I have some extra charm packs laying around and I might give them a go! Thanks for a great tutorial. I also want to say I recently spoke to Cheryl at your store during the Summer Sale (I believe that is what it was) and she was so helpful with an issue I was having with the website. I am so thankful for how she treated me over the phone; I felt like I was standing right there in the store with her. And my items came so quickly in the mail! I love the quilt you have for the giveaway! I remember when you did the tutorial. It really caught my eye then! So beautiful!

[@sewcrazybaker]

Beautiful placemats! I've been wanting to make some, but wanted a nice pattern. This is the one! I did have to laugh a bit when you said you liked the "red robin" in the center of one of the charm squares. That's actually a male cardinal, one of my favorite birds. Plus, the cardinal is the state bird of Ohio, which is my state!

[@marinepeters1025]

My favorite is Cardinals from school and Virginia.... Beautiful...

[@amyohl5037]

Red Robin's Ha Ha Ha. Very pretty project!!

[@melmack2003]

I was pleased to see you use 'the flip' method, aka 'a quick turn'. I actually use this method for my t-shirt quilts. [It's amazing that you can get a quilt through a small opening!] Thanks, Donna!

[@belmalungay3325]

wow thank you for tutorial for this idea i love it

[@snafus6730]

I just love Donna's videos. Fast and accurate and she sews pedal to the medal fast!

[@Karendavissutv]

I love watching your videos except for one thing. It drives me crazy when you say “these ones”. These is sufficient. Please drop the word ones. Again, I really love your videos and I’ve picked up quite a few tips from you. I especially like the use of the hand weights on the ruler. Thanks and keep showing us your work. Karen Davis, North Carolina

[@labj4853]

Donna 😁 I may not be the first to comment on your bird "slip" but the "red robin" is known as a "red cardinal" here in PA ❣ When my brother and I dropped in on you all there in Grants Pass earlier this spring, you and Matt were sooo very thoughtful! I purchased material to make placemats for the family we were visiting and NOW I know how! LOL 😎 Thanks for your time and consideration 💕💕 🐝LaBj of PA, USA 🐝

[@janehebert5254]

My husband chose mariner’s compass and star of the east quilts as his favorite patterns, any tutorials? (I looked but didn’t see them in your backlog.)

[@lesleygilbert1945]

I've learnt from my American friends that those birds are Cardinals, but they look gorgeous anyway in your lovely place mats :)

[@heartcrochet7050]

Thank you for your videos! Can you make a cathedral window quilt? Check out the one by Vendulka Battais... I would love to be able to by a kit!

[@fayekratzer3154]

Thank you so much for this fun video. A friend's daughter and her husband just purchased their first home so this gives me a great housewarming idea. Now the hard part, deciding on which squares to buy.

Hello Donna: I have 2 questions What are the scissors you used and where to get them? What brand/type of batting is used for these? Thank you so much, I really like this project and will have to give it a go!!! ❤️😀

[@crazycardcreator]

Enjoy all your videos. I just love the star quilt.

[@Jen-tz5gb]

Hi Donna! Love your videos!! I’m new to all of this, and usually feel inadequate when marking blocks on the diagonal or even ironing.... do you have any tips to A. Be able to mark directly corner to corner ..not off a “smidge” the way mine turn out....and B. Not get valleys when you iron...even when I finger press first! I’m getting discouraged....like I’ll never learn to sew/quilt...😔 I soooo want to be successful....any advice please?! Thanks in advance, Jen

[@alwaysteatime489]

Thank-you Another great idea.

[@lorifiorelli]

I have never quilted,. Love your video ,I did get little lost with those smaller pieces. ,but encouraged to make place mat with charms…I ordered accu quilt tumble die .how would I finish at end ( quilting the top)

[@lorriescott8775]

I’m tempted to drive to Grants Pass! Are your red robins possibly Cardinals? Love your clearly taught videos.

[@cynforrest]

Realllllly cute!! Great use of charms. Thanks

[@smitaaggarwal1004]

[@ireneheseltine6168]

Wonderful project - as ever. Thank you.

[@siscarmichael2949]

Donna, I’ve been seeing and hearing a lot of people suggesting to iron seams open. Some say to shorten the stitch length, but some don’t... what are your thoughts about this new trend?
