Am I the only one who finds her performances annoying? I watch to learn something, not to be entertained.
Susan Musar, 1 year ago
I admire her energy and enthusiasm. Good on her! If it bothers you, tune in to some other quiet, slow learning experience. No need to be negative.
Wendy, 1 year ago
Yup, I found her annoying as all heck. But I think this is a great idea, and I passed it along to one of the organizers of our local quilt group.
Jenna, 1 year ago
Same here Susan, and the safety “glove thing” bugs me too.
Carol, 1 year ago
No, you’re not the only one. if I can only get past her delivery, I usually can actually learn something.
Bobbye Nelson, 1 year ago
Me too! Too many weird facial expressions. Too affected.

Wouldn’t it be okay to be entertained WHILE learning something? Surely it doesn’t have to be one or the other, and there are so many online videos you should be able find one that makes you happy. What’s wonderful is that so many new people are becoming sewists, and any avenue that spreads an appreciation and grows the skills has to be a good thing, yes?

I’m right there with you, Susan!
Kornelia Massner, 1 year ago
Hey, Susan. Well… It’s a show. I mean, I think it’s important to entertain as well as provide content that is worth teaching. Is there something specific you can point to that you find distracting?
Mary Fons, 1 year ago
Lighten up!
Faye, 1 year ago
Mary, I love your enthusiasm! Yes, I come to learn, but I really enjoy the fact that YOU enjoy what you’re teaching.
Keep up the Great Work!
And thanks, too!

Does she realize that we are not all two year old. That is exactly how she talks to us. What happened to the sophistication of Fons and Porter?

I find Quilty fun and refreshing and down to earth. Been sewing since 1942 when I started high school. Mary is fun to watch and I learn a lot too. Right on kid!
Roberta Webb, 1 year ago
I can’t stand the hand motions and facial expressions. very unprofessional makes it hard to watch and learn
Barbara Stillwaggon, 1 year ago
Well it lightened my morning!
Sheila Hurst, 1 year ago
Lighten up, laugh and learn at the same time.
Jo Ann Pilgrim, 1 year ago
I enjoyed the segment. She is just enthusiastic and having fun. I did learn something. I did a square swap with friends and the challenge was to make a table runner. It’s amazing how all the fabrics…no matter how different….actually looked OK.

You find her annoying? Then don’t watch her! Your choice!
Maureen Williams, 1 year ago
I enjoy her soo much ! Why does quilting have to be boring and stern? Keep up the good work, Mary !!!! I do learn from you that life is about being creative….AND…having fun!
Mary Lou Sprowle, 1 year ago
I think she’s a hoot! I really, really enjoy watching her and yes, I do learn something. I’d love to spend a week quilting with her. There are plenty of traditional teachers out there. She brings a witty side to quilting.
Mary Jo Stahl, 1 year ago
This sounds like a fun idea!
Connie, 1 year ago
I would like the nine patch quilt block pattern of the quilt that was in the background, please?
Melody Loveless, 1 year ago
I ADORE Mary and her sense of humor! Mary, you are why I watch and then the bonus is all the wonderful tips and tricks you teach us. Keep up the good work and good luck with the magazine launch! Yay Quilty!

Great idea for a bee party. Maybe a little to much wine before the duck tracks. You can tell she really enjoys what she is doing and that is GREAT!!
Sheila, 1 year ago
I only hope we have as much fun with our cutting bee as you had making this tutorial. You really made me laugh. Ther’s nothing like a good ol’ giggle once in a while.
Karen, 1 year ago
Looks like fun, and a really good idea for a project for newbies quilt bee. Enjoyed the video, even the giggles portion. thank you.

Mary, you are a hoot! I love what you are doing. You are so much fun, and fun is what this should be.
Angela, 1 year ago
Not helpful at all.
Denise, 1 year ago
Mary, All the words have basically been used, but I couldn’t help but chime in with my two cents – I thought the show was great, and there is something seriously wrong with us if we cannot have a fit of the giggles once in a while!!! I have tried to catch all of your shows and can hardly wait for the week to go by so I can see what new tidbit you have in store for us. Keep up the good work.

I love her. With all the disasters in our world, a little humor is just what we need. And I also love her faces
