I really enjoy both of your videos, about traditional quilting patterns, and the messages behind them (hand to work heart to God etc) and though these aren't "how-to" videos, I found them to be very helpful, in many ways. Knowing the history behind quilting gives me a much bigger picture. Thanks for sharing. Happy Quilting.
