    Default Donna Jordan has passed away.

    I was so sad to hear the news this morning. She died March 14. Her husband Matt has given a loving tribute on their youtube channel.

    I loved Donna's videos. They were clear and so well done as she shared her passion for quilting. I have made several of her patterns, which are available at their website. I will miss seeing her demonstrations and the tips she shared. To her family--my sympathy. It's so hard to lose a spouse but who was also a business partner. Be comforted that she meant so much to such a vast audience!

    I was shocked to wake to this news this morning. Donna's videos were so straight forward and instructional, never using or "selling" unnecessary extras. I enjoyed her so much and will miss seeing her. I know her beautiful family will have a huge void and my thoughts are with them. Godspeed, Donna.

    Wow, I am sorry to hear that she passed. I enjoyed her videos and have several she demonstrated on my bucket list. My condolences to her family.

    Devastating news, she was a kind person and a very good teacher. May she rest in peace.

    That is so true about never selling the unnecessary extras. She just focused on the cutting and sewing the pattern. Glad we will have her videos. God Bless her family.

    When I read the post from her husband, my jaw dropped, and a tear ran down my face. IMHO best teacher on the internet. I sent many new-to-quilting sewers to her site. She will be missed.

    I'm so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. She was a great instructor and has been a source of inspiration for me.

    I saw the video this morning. Heart felt and a reminder of her skill at guiding through a pattern with little hints to make quilting easier for us. A lovely tribute to her and just a peek into her life outside of the sewing space of their business.
