Ah bless you, your quilting inspires thousands love. I love watching you. Your so happy and enthusiastic about quilting. I got back into quilting some 30years after first learning it. And now again I’m hooked. And that’s all your doing. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love Kim. X

Sandy, I love the length of your videos. You do such a nice job editing to show the process coherently without having us watch every stitch of every seam like some folks do in their tutorials. The irony is that I could and would watch *you* for an hour! You have such a great style of delivery that feels very personable. I really like that you share ideas and processes so well. I don’t need to see a queen-size quilt top to understand what you’re teaching. Thank you for the great content!

I agree Sandy whole heartedly. There are too many channels today that “seem” to sew everything perfectly. Like you I sew for pure pleasure and fun. It relaxes me mentally and physically. My escape if you like. Well done for being part of a now wonky group 😂😂❤️

You know it’s good when we are all hoping to see you dive back into your stash for the next rainbows worth of chevrons.

Not too soon at all, to start thinking and planning for Winter/Christmas projects... it takes time to plan, prep, buy fabric, pick a pattern, and get it done, in time for gift giving! I am making Lori Holt's "Plaid Pines" pattern...for myself...finally! A quilt for me!

I have never seen the broken chevron pattern before. It looks really nice. Keep up the good work Sandy, always enjoy your videos.

Instead of buying a rotating cutting board, I use a Lazy Susan that was just gathering dust as it was never used.

Sandy, with the never ending stash! I love it, this might be my favorite one yet - it would make such a pretty table runner. You could make one like this but with different shades of color for each season.

[sandyhall]

[lauramiddleton]

[sandypattison]
