"I purchased by SnS Ruler and took a class with Jodi over 10 year years ago. Must confess I got forgot everything I learned and filed the ruler & instructions in the bottom of a drawer. Fast forward to about a week ago - I decided to clean out items I no longer use and came across the ruler/instructions. Decided to check out YouTube to see if there were any videos. Made a couple of "options" and here I am. Thank you for adding me to the group.

"Hi all, I became a premium member during QCW. Due to a health issue I haven’t been able to sew for a month. I found comfort in Jodi’s teaching lessons during my long sleepless night. Her voice is so soothing. Started watching the railroad files and loved hearing the stories. She made me feel like I was right there sewing! I have pastel fabric that I’m going to try the blocks. Won’t be a railroad quilt, but the blocks will be beautiful. Have a great day everyone."

YEAH! “The Feathered Star is ready to be quilted! I love these blocks & I was able to use the new trick on the corner stars… they came out unbelievably straight and even! Thank you Jodi for all the tips & tricks! You’re the best! I could never made this quilt before SNS!

Jodi, thank you for showing and sewing the option eleven from start to finish. I have finally started getting the block to turn out right. Measuring across the square at the very beginning has made all the difference. I should have been doing that for all my blocks. If your option one is not quite right then going forward your block will be off. It makes a difference to measure as you go. I didn’t realize that was where my trouble was until I watched this segment. Thank you so much.

Finally finished!!! Not perfect but it is done! Sew many seams to match , but I love it! Thank you Jodi for a great semester of classes!
Sheri

Many of you have commented on how nice my work is. Thank you so much! We learn by doing and practice makes perfect. But in addition to that, I listen to Jodi’s videos while I’m sewing every day. It is so helpful and every time I listen I learn something new. I am so grateful for the videos and the Premium Club as well as the regular FB page. Thank you, Jodi, for giving so much of yourself to help us all learn.

My Transcontinental Railroad quilt was recently awarded Best of Show in the Columbia River Gorge Quilt Guild show. I am extremely honored. Thank you Jodi for the wonderful pattern, fabric, and method for putting it together .
Cynthia

My Flying to the Stars is finished for now. I will decide on the border later. I made a few creative design changes to the Nebula block as I wanted to add some churn dash blocks to the quilt in place of some of the stars. “Stunning” was my husband’s reaction! Thank you Jodi for encouraging us to ask “What if?”
Marg

I started this quilt with the grid class that Jodi taught a couple of years ago. I added my own twist with the appliqué. This week, my quilt won two ribbons plus Best in Show at the Peace River Quilt Show in Punta Gorda, Florida. I am so humbled by this award. I never enjoyed piecing until taking classes with Jodi’s Square in a Square system. Making the quilt took me a year and quilting it on a sit-down machine took me another year.

Thank you Jodi and fellow SNS members for all of your help and inspiration! I finally finished the Welcome Home quilt with a few adaptations. It was a gift to my parents-in-law for Easter. And… a HUGE thanks to my sweethusband for all of his answers to, “Honey… What do you think about…?”
Kris

just finished Welcome Home. Thank you Jodi Barrows and Steve for putting this all together for us in the group. I'm a little disappointed that my applique blocks are a little to long. Not sure what I was thinking when I was doing them. So, then I had to add another block of some kind so I decided to applique Welcome home. I made up the red block and put left over blocks in the corners. My Stratas then were to small so I added fabric on each side of the center stars. I've done a lot of quilting before but never anything like this. I had fun doing this !! After it gets quilted I'm going to hang it in my living room. Thank you !!

Spring semester, Farmers wife. Was working on it diligently until life got in the way. Finally pulled it out in August and counted my blocks. I had 42. Ok, that will make a nice size quilt. Tah da! Have to put it away for awhile and then will quilt it. Life is good.
Sandra

Finally! I have finish my Knight (mare) Star quilt, top that I have been wasting weeks on because I was trying to force too much black into my alternate block. Don’t be wasting your time on something you’re not going to enjoy. I have some imperfections here and there but overall, I’m very pleased with the results. Thank you, Jodi Barrows for your inspiration and encouragement. I love the 1700’s red fabric!
