Every time I use this quilt pattern (5 times now), I pray for Melanie’s family, Thank you for leaving her sweet face, voice, and instructions for others to enjoy!

I know Melanie is no longer with us, but I’m making my first quilting project in the UK and these videos have been so very helpful. I hope her family is proud of her legacy helping so many people across the globe, even after she has passed

I just discovered Melanie. I’m so thankful for her quilting videos. I wanted to write and thank her. She has a gift for teaching. I love her. I am so troubled that she passed away. Life is not fair. She is my hero.

I just finished my first quilt (Halloween themed) and it only took 7 days from start to finish. I literally had zero quilting knowledge before this video and hadn’t used a sewing machine in 10+ years. This tutorial can teach anyone to make a beautiful quilt. I’m so impressed with this series and myself. If you’re interested in quilting I 100% recommend.

I stumbled across these lovely videos while trying to prep myself to make a small quilt from my daughter's baby clothes. I grew up sewing with my aunt and have the best childhood memories of making crafts with her and my mom. My aunt planned on professionally quilting the clothes herself but ended up passing last October from heart problems and my mom passed in June from cancer. I'm so thankful for these videos so I'm able to carry out my wishes with Melanie's wonderful instructions and feel like I'm honoring my aunt as well. Thank you to her family for leaving them available. ❤️

Still referring to Melanie's excellent videos when I quilt - her legacy continues on and I am so appreciative the content remains. Blessings to her family!

I can't believe Melanie has passed. I am heartbroken. Such a beautiful person. I would not have made 2 quilts for my 2 sons if it weren't for her amazing instruction and I will be forever grateful. She will live forever through what she gave to her students. Peace be with you, Robert, and sons... sharing your grief...

3 quilts in and I'm still using these videos to brush up on things - only found Melanie after she got sick again and just now seeing that she passed while I'm working on my one year old daughter's first quilt. Rest in Peace Melanie, thank you for helping me create beautiful heirlooms for my family. I hope your family is well and finding some peace for themselves <3

The quilt my mom made for me when I was a very little kid is still one of my most cherished possessions over 30 years later. I just finished sewing the binding on my first quilt, which will be a gift for her. I hope Melanie’s family finds some comfort knowing what a legacy she’s left with these videos.

I am so grateful for the concise manner and patient demeaner that Melanie uses to teach, that I had to leave a message, that is when I learned that she is no longer with us on this earth. She surely has made a difference in the world - what an impact. RIP Melanie, and thank you for sharing your gifts! My deepest condolence to her family. Her legacy lives on in so many ways!

I always love Melanie’s help. Her love lives on! ❤

I just binged all five videos. Very informative. I have always wanted to learn to quilt. Have been intimidated always. Now I wish I had learned years ago after watching your videos. I have a whole closet full of fabric and hope to use a lot to make several quilts. The one trick I loved was how you showed how to end the hand stitching of the binding. Have never seen that before. Brilliant! Thanks for all your videos.

Thank you so much to Melanie's family. I made my first quilt in 1993 with the exception that I didnt know how to bind it. Your video series has just allowed me to know how to finish a quilt that is 30 years old in the making! Thank you so much. 🤩

[mauramcdonough]

Thank you for making this so easy! I just finished my first quilt and it turned out beautifully. It has 99 squares (9x11) so I plan on giving it to my grandmother for her 99th birthday in November. I know that she'll love it.

[robinfields]

Thank you for your "easy to follow" videos. With the coronavirus, I have time to work on my first of hopefully many quilts. I want to make special ones for my grandchildren and give to others who need to be encouraged during these days. Again, thank you.

I just watched all 5 tutorials. You do a very detailed presentation. Both of my parents passed away within 12 days of each other in December. Dad was 96 and Mother was 95. My dad had over 100 dress shirts that I will be using to make some throws and pillows. I will also sew the pockets and button flaps in random places on the throws and pillows. I made a Dalia quilt several years ago, but was looking for something very basic and simple for these throws and pillows. The patchwork quilt is perfect and quick for what I am wanting to make. Thank you for your very thorough tutorials...you have definitely gotten me in the sewing mood!

[susantrevino]

I am almost done with my first quilt and I am so happy to watch and listen to Melanie you are a blessing and I thank your family for continuing your tutorials. 💜 Your voice and words have gave me confidence to make this quilt.. Rip. 😇

[Andrea-fedy]

I just completed my first quilt! Thank you Melanie for the beginner's quilting series. You have been such a blessing and I dedicate this quilt to you in your memory. ❤

[NanaDianna]

Loved this series! You helped me make my first quilt. You have me the confidence to try quilting. I am now addicted!

[susanstranks]

I used these videos to make a baby quilt for my new grandson. I hadn't sewn anything in 20 years and had never quilted. The videos were incredibly helpful and the quilt turned out great! Thank you!!
