Donna's Mini Rails Table Runner Tutorial + Kaffe Fassett Quilt Giveaway! 

I just watched your video for Rails Table Runner Tutorial from five years ago. Love this current method! So much easier! Thank you!

Super nice piece. Really like the fabric choice also.

So satisfying to watch a sewing machine go at full speed. And the cutting sounds... Eargasm.

I like how you don't use obnoxious internet music in your videos. Clear instruction, fine camera work, beautiful results

One of the things that take your videos over the top is the camera work. Definitely the best.

I cannot tell you how much your finger pressing tip has helped my piecing to be more accurate!

Love watching your videos. Even my husband, who doesn't quilt, watches. Your instructions are clear and you show each step in a way that is easy to follow... Love you guys...

It’s absolutely therapeutic to watch you go about your projects...

I really like the rail fence pattern. I have made a quilt in this pattern years ago but I do like the size of these blocks for a table runner much better. Thank you

Donna, Your video tutorials are clear to understand, right to the point with no unnecessary talking, and just plain fun to watch!!! I also love the fabric pre-cuts I ordered from you...the cuts were absolutely precise to the measurements - great work Matt!! Love you both.

Donna, Donna..girlfriend, you are a Masteress (is that even a word? it is now!) of Stitching. I love how you explain and show your tips and techniques. Straight to the point but not boring. I see some goodies on your website that are calling out to my wallet! Thank you and keep it coming.

Thank you! It always makes my day when I see that there is another one of your videos, ready to watch! This is all brand new to me. I do not...did not..sew before these past few months. My mother passed away in January. She was a wonderful quilter! I told her once that having a quilt she'd made, wrapped around me, was like having a hug from her. Mom said she wanted me to have her sewing materials...machines, fabric, tools, notions, etc. I know how much it meant to her so I really want to do a good job with any project I undertake. It means learning a whole new language and set of skills I didn't have before. I really do appreciate your clear and careful explanations. I've watched most of your videos (and even rewatched a number of them). I've only tried a few small things so far and your words and advice echo helpfully while I'm planning/cutting/sewing. This has become a very special way for me to remember and feel close to my mother and to honour all the time and caring she put into her quilts. I wanted you to know how much it has meant to me to be able to have a trusted resource nearby as I venture further along this new experience. Thank you so much!

Donna your tutorials are so understandable. I now use the weight to hold down my ruler which makes for better cutting thank you.

I used your video to make a runner like this! I had a Jelly Roll of some cute Christmas fabrics...it turned out great! You are a natural teacher!!! Thank you!

I truly enjoy all your quilting tutorials. Thank you!

Donna you've become my favorite youtuber!! I love your videos!!! 🥰🧵

Hi Donna! Love the simplicity of this mini rail fence. The very first quilt i pieced, many years ago was a rail fence pattern. Took me many years to finish piecing the top and i cut all of the strips the old fashion way....with a template and a pair of scissors. OUCH! Then when assembling the blocks nothing matched up! I threw it all in a box and didn’t look at for more than 5 years. When i found in again, i did manage to get the blocks sewn together since by then we were all using rotary cutters and mats, though it is still not quilted yet. Must do that. I love your tutorials. I have picked up so many great tips along the way and look forward to each of your new videos. I think I have watched all of them multiple times. So inspiring. I love Kaffe Fassett fabrics, they are such an explosion of color, but definitely not traditional. Would love to have that quilt. It is on my list to make so I will get one eventually!

Love your videos and tutorials. Thank you, Donna and Matt.

Thank you Donna; I still have not made a quilt but I am absolutely entranced watching you make up the quilted runner. (I have still to make two shirts which will need machine embroidering, then I shall have a go at making a quilt). Too many hobbies but I love the feel of fabric, wool and the colours of threads I use. Oh did I mention knitting......

Donna your a great teacher!

As always Donna you have excelled yourself. Beautiful table runner.

Love the simple quilting. Beautiful fabrics and designs as usual.

You’re so organized and you know exactly what you’re doing from one minute to the next. I just like all that you do, and I always love to see your beautiful nails each time, lol. Thank you for great totorials. I always imagine that that is all that you do all day long, sew quilts upon quilts and projects upon projects. You can tell that you enjoy each and every minute of it. TY

I just love your videos. So inspiring.

I took your weight idea for holding my ruler still. No more do I have cuts that are a tad off or a straight seam with a bump in it. Thanks for that great idea, Donna

I look forward to all your tutorials Donna. I'm always learning something new. I now use a 5lb weight when I cut. I had to laugh the other day while sewing a block together. I heard you in my head saying "I use the Hope and Sew method"......it worked. lol

Donna: I've been watching your videos now for the better part of a year, and I have to say that you are inspiring to me. I purchased autumn-colored fabrics a few years ago, but got stuck on what pattern I would use to make a quilt with them. This rail fence is good for the commitment-phobe in me; I have enough fabric to make two different colorways for small lap quilts in the rail fence. I've also been able to piece together a Tea Time pattern quilt using the guidance you provided in another video. You demystify so much of the quilting process, and I really appreciate your advice and tips. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you so much for helping me to get moving on my sewing!

That shop is a wonderland 😳

I’ve started using a weight for cutting and it’s increased my accuracy and lowered my frustration!! Thank you Donna. You’re a wonderful teacher!!!

My wife bought the kits and made a quilt. Really nice.

I love to see how much you love what you do. So much love in your movements when you work. So much comfort and light in your store. And your workshop is just a fabulous dream for any craftswoman😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing this 🌹🌹🌹

Now that's .the kind of table runners I like .simple n very easy instructions.ty n luv the flower colors.going to try n make one.xoxo👍🙋👊

Donna, I just want to thank you for all your videos and the patterns. You have such an easy going way of speaking and and teaching....I really enjoy watching the videos and learning all the techniques you share with us. Thank you again.

I just finished a French General fabric quilt for my Mom for Christmas. That is a beautiful, beautiful line....

Using that weight was such a smart idea. Every time I watch your videos, I am amazed. You are clear and easy to understand. You have the most beneficial tips. I love this pattern. I think I have to try this. Something just clicked about the rail fence when I watched it. I enjoyed it so much I watched it again. Thanks so much

Fantastic teacher!!!!! I like the second option!!! thanks Donna! Keep well and safe! x

I am making this now, it’s my very first quilting project and it’s going really well. Of course I have to keep referring back to the video!😁

I am a newbie to sewing & yet I can follow along. I will try to make this table runner before I do a king size bed. Ha Ha. Your utube demos are fantastic. I always wanted to buy a sewing machine & that plus my weight & sizzors is so far all I have. I have a few old sheets to practice on, by next week, I'll be ready for real. Have a great Memorial weekend. Thanks, Donna.

I love this fabric line! As usual Donna, this was an impeccable presentation .

Thank you so much for your tutorials. You articulate the instructions so well and I have learned so much from you. As a beginner in quilt making this mini rail table runner was my first serious project. I would grade myself B+ because a few of the intersections weren't perfect and it doesn't lay perfectly flat. It's been difficult to master the quarter inch seam on my old Singer machine. However, completing this project has given me the confidence to preserver. I especially enjoy the smaller projects!

Aloha from Hawaii, This passed Christmas I watch several of your videos while working on ornaments and gifts. I liked this pattern and decided to made one with scrap fabric. Is in greens and reds and all the prints are Hawaiian prints. It turned out great. Mahalo

Who can go wrong with the French General!! Beautiful

Thank you for all of your tutorials. The best tip ever is the 5 pound weight to keep the long ruler from moving.

Oh my goodness...I’ve been looking for the third colour you chose for a decade...and here you have it. It was the pattern I wanted for the second quilt I ever did. Wow!

Hi Donna, you are my favorite fabric channel. I love the way you explain how to make quilts, table runners, etc. You make it so easy to understand with no confusion. I really do enjoy watching your videos. You are a great teacher & I love your fabrics. I’m recently a widow & money is so tough for me & I love to sew, but since my husband passed I don’t have the money I use to. But I really want to eventually order from your company. Ty again for your videos. You are a very sweet lady & very talented. God bless you & your family.

The weight idea is so helpful!

I am so so very glad I found your channel. I love how you walk around and we get to watch the whole process.

So nice to see your tutorial Donna. Marvellous as always. I have to admit I was getting severe withdrawals waiting for your next tutorial. I just love your tutorials so much. Thank you 🌹🌸🌷💐🌺

Every day , l look for your U Tube lessons , enjoy them so much , you have a very gift with fabric ,

Absolutely Gorgeous Donna!! Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial and for all of your very helpful tips!! Just LOVE your videos!!

Donna, you have inspired me to get sewing again. Your tutorials are awesome! One day I hope to visit your shop in person. Thanks for all you do!

Beautiful fabrics and lovely runner! 👍

I love your Rail Fence Table Runner. You chose some really pretty prints that will go perfect on my kitchen table! Thanks for another great tutorial Donna!😀❤👍

Awesome tutorial again! Watching your videos is a win - win for me!

Very nice! I love that the piecing doesn't detract from the beautiful fabric.

I enjoy watching your videos. Have used many of your useful tips. And love many of your patterns. 👍

You do such beautiful work😀

Donna, This is a beautiful table runner. Thank you! (Also, love your new Juki industrial machine.)

This lovely. I absolutely love French General fabrics.

Love those table runners

Such a quick and lovely project! I really like this table runner, Donna - could be that's because it's in my favourite colour. I'd like to see you create something suitable for a circular table - I'm sure you could magic up a nice table topper. Thanks for your turorials, they make good watching.

Love the simplicity of this gorgeous quilt.

That rail fence is beautiful with those fabrics.

The rail fence block is almost as classic as the log cabin block. Nice color combo for this runner.

Hello miss donna...greetings from philippines...im beginning to like doing some quilting since i watch and subscribe your channel...happy quilting...

Love this pattern! I love your tutorials as they are easy to follow and I can get the same results when I follow them at home.

Todos los diseños son hermosos y de buen gusto¡¡¡ Me encanta su canal saludos!!!!

I can't wait to get my sewing room done so I can make all the lovely things you share. Love this runner. Thank you!!

Donna, glad to see another video! I was starting to wonder if y'all went on vacation or something. We all know you deserve it! Hope y'all had a happy 4th!

Donna you always have such nice fabrics in these patterns..... and I have several “Christmas gifts” to make...guess what I’m doing!! Thanks again

Thank You For All Of Your Videos

Ein wunderschöner Tischläufer 👍🌹❤️👵🏻

Table runners, quick and satisfying. The purplish backing fabric w/ feathers on your Mirage quilt is so cool.

I love rail fence, but never thought of using it for a table runner. I have some lovely Kaffe Fassett fat quarters, now I know what I’m going to make. Thanks for inspiring me 🤗

That turned out very pretty. Love the fabric choices. Thanks for posting!

Beautiful runner! I love your color choices. 💕 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹

You make look so easy! Love your nails.

I love the floral table runner! So so beautiful. I really need to try this. I've made the Rail Fence into a small quilt a few years ago and it's really an easy pattern. Thank you so much for these tutorials!

I love this idea. It looks quick and easy and would make a great gift. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it.

I look forward to seeing your videos. I love the weight, I use one too now. If I ever get your way I look forward to seeing your store. Thank you!

I'm taking a road trip just to visit your store!!!!! So excited to see it.

Love your store 😍❤️❤️❤️

Thanks again Donna for another great video and free pattern. I'll be making this for sure.

As always, another great tutorial with beautiful fabrics :)

Wow. Loved this pattern. On my to-do list.

Hi Donna. For some reason, rail fence is so appealing to me. Just love this runner. I hope to try this pattern soon. 💕

Love it, Donna!! Thank you! I too was having "Donna" withdrawals....LOL I love your videos.

I've enjoyed your videos for so many reasons, I've learned so much and I love that not ONCE have I heard you say "set the seam"...by the way, came to Grants Pass two weeks ago and visited your shop and bought some of Matt's kits. Keep up the good work!

Thanks 4 sharing amazing tutorial

I just love this design, especially in Xmas colors. Thank you for sharing.

This is such a nice quilt block. Thank you for another great video.
