I started watching her quilting video today. I had no idea she passed away 😞 To the family I'm so sorry for your loss.

[KathleenEdge]

I decided that I wanted to learn how to quilt... I noticed in the comment section that you have passed. Thank you for continuing to teach, inspire, and make a difference in so many lives. May God bless you and your family. 🙏

I have been wanting to learn to quilt for a long time. I finally decided to go for it and I found Melanie's tutorials and sat and watched all 5 segments of how to make your first quilt in one sitting. The next day I fired up the computer and went to Melanie's channel. I noticed something about a memorial page and assumed one of her parents had passed. When I realized it was HER, I was shocked. I watched Robert's documentary and cried through the whole thing. I made a promise to myself to continue to go to her tutorials which is what I did today and subsequently completed my first quilt top. I will continue to watch her videos as a tribute to this truly wonderful woman.
Thanks, Robert for keeping these up and I hope you and the kids are doing well.

God Bless and Gods speed Melanie

Have had to stop quilting for a while for medical reasons. Now that I'm ready to start again, these videos are invaluable to me. Melanie was the first teacher for me, and I need these refreshers periodically. I miss her lovely self.

So sad. I just found out tonight while watching this video that she does of cancer a little over a year ago. I am so sorry. She has been helping me via YouTube make a fidget quilt for my mom who has vascular dementia. Melanie is so easy to listen to and I have learned so much from her. Prayers of comfort for her sweet family!

[CindyMasterson-owuw]

I miss you so much ❤ You taught me so much. I am trying to teachmy daughter now. I should say we are teaching her. I am showing your crochet videos. Rest in peace sweet angel.

Ty❤ for keeping the videos up !! I love her for teaching me to quilt. RIP sweet Melanie ❤

[alisamalone]

Melanie you are a god send. My Mother died just a year ago and left me 3 quilt tops all ready to baste and quilt. I am using your tutorials to do this and feel confident after watching you. Thank you God Bless!

[kawaiikowai]

Hugs to her family! Her memory lives on with the many people following her tutorials! My quilt is coming along beautifully thanks to her :) ❤❤

[maryannoneal-jobe]

Always come back to this video for my refreshers !!!! ❤

[margaretdavies]

Melanie, although you’re no longer with us you still inspire beautiful crafting. Started my first quilt today in your honour. ❤️

[tiredteacher]

I'm a retired teacher - let me say that you are a very good teacher! I'm having a ball learning how to quilt.

[annal]

Melanie, I have gotten pretty good at sewing and it is thanks to you. I bought a sewing machine years ago with zero know-how and you taught me everything! So grateful for you. You are a wonderful teacher (and that is coming from a teacher)! :)

[ChristenBurnes]

Just discovered your videos today and I’m heartbroken to read of your passing. Thank you for all the wonderful content you were able to share in your short time 🖤

[ritapeaks]

The only person who made making a quilt doable for me. You are missed so much in the quilting community.

[trevarnewighton]

I have just found this quilt channel. Now I find that dear Melanie has passed from the dreaded C. Excellent teacher. Thank you and your family for continuing to allow us to view her teachings.

[angelaf]

I don't remember the last time I was this excited!! I do loads of other crafts probably like others but quilting was intimidating to say the least! I'm so happy believing I can finish my mother in laws quilt for her son!!! I know it would mean so much to her! I was blessed to know such a beautiful lady and feel blessed to help her complete this last project. Thank you for helping make this possible!! More hugs from Kansas City Mo

[rachaelgianzero]

I am finishing my very first quilt because of you Melanie. Thank you for sharing your gifts and passion. Rest in peace knowing you will inspire and enable others with these videos for all time.
