Hi everyone. Here the recording of my first Q & A on Facebook. You cannot believe how nervous I was. When I edit for TH-cam I am able to delete all the pauses, the mispronunciations and mostly my overused words like 'Umm', 'just, and 'so'. Thank you to everyone that showed up. I loved from how near and far everyone is. Please ask away in the comments so I can use your questions for the next Q & A.
Very informative. And perfectly imperfect! By this I mean you show us you are one of us and we can definitely learn from you. You aren't arrogant. You love what you do and it comes through in your videos. Thanks for imparting your knowledge and I look forward to learning lots more from you and others through these videos and comments. We are never to old to learn. Until next video! Quilt on! 😊👍✂️🧷🧵
Someone below mentions how they love these video because you are so ‘real’. Just you. I have to agree, that’s what I love about watching you too. I’ve seen all of them and I’m working through them again... thank you 😃
I am not on fb so I am so happy that you recorded this Karen. You are a wealth of knowledge. Even though you said you were nervous it didn't show. Doing something the first time can be nervewracking. Thank you for this video.
Hi Karen I am living in Western Australia and just love your videos and your advice. It would be wonderful to have the knowledge on quilts that you have. Keep on doing what you are doing because you are inspiring to watch.
Me too. I shop from my stash first and usually do not need anything else. I have a very eclectic fabric haul. My friends are always welcome to raid my stash. Most of the time they need 1/2 yd. of something or one of my hundreds of fats quarters or a small piece for an art quilt. I am always glad to help because most of them are on retirement budgets.
I too am not on FB, so thank you for posting, because I did learn a few new things! :) Thanks for putting yourself out there. You make it look easier that it is I'm sure. I love the practical advice especially about how to make quilts for the receiver. My MIL made magnificent quilts with fine hand quilting for all the children and grandchildren, but they were mostly what she liked making with a little input from us about pattern or color. We are very grateful to have our quilts, but they don't get every day use. Love you mug and shirt/scarf!!
Love your videos!! Thanks for doing a Q&A (and for Taylor’s help), sorry I missed it live! I really appreciate how you were specific about making a quilt for what people actually want, even getting them involved in the process. I made a double wedding ring that I thought my nephew and his niece would like but sadly I don’t think they did and I wanted it to be a surprise. However I did make a baby quilt and asked the mom-to-be for her input and to be part of the process and that was very well received. I like how you just spelled it out, I really wasn’t “getting it” as much until now. You have a gift for doing this, thanks for sharing all your quilty tips, techniques and life lessons. 🤗❤️❤️
Great Q & A session. I have a giant 24 x 36 inch cutting board and a 20 1/2 inch square ruler that I use for squaring up my quilts. I do it on my kitchen counter and it works great. I start with one corner and then I can also add a 6 x 24 inch ruler along the side and butt it up to the square ruler for accuracy. I have found with long experience that squaring up at every stage - each block, each row, etc. makes a huge difference in the outcome of your quilt. TFS.
Just love your down to earth attitude. Pease put a word out for out of print quilting books. There was one i saw at the library (3 dimensional paper piecing)I didn't the title and now it is gone. Surely someone might be interest in a web site or TH-cam site on how to locate quilting books. Thanks for ALL your time and information
Color zone, yes! My daughter wanted a neutral colored quilt. I’m colorful, scrappy... boy was her quilt difficult!! It wasn’t a hard pattern... it was hard because of the color choices. It turned out great. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Karen, you did a wonderful job. You have a wealth of knowledge on a wide variety of topics and I really enjoy listening to what you have to say about all of them. I have been quilting for a number of years, but I always look for new ways to do things. I just have one small piece of advice for future live videos, look into the camera at your audience. You have beautiful eyes and we want to see them. Not sure how you are set up, if you have multiple cameras, as I only watch on TH-cam. Keep being the REAL you, stutters and all. Makes me feel like I am talking with my friend and not a scripted lecture. Love it!!!
Just Get it Done Quilts: I noticed that, too, and tried to relate. I myself am not good at making eye contact but had to force myself to get better at it when I began to do music at church. We are a very small congregation in a pretty small space. As song leader, I try to "rove" back and forth across the congregation looking directly at individuals vs. the old Dale Carnegie trick of looking over peoples' heads toward the back of the room. Maybe you can think of your viewers as your "congregation" and move your eye contact back & forth between cameras with a little blip explaining the use of two cameras so viewers understand we are part of a multi-platform broadcast.
I don't do fb either, plus I still work. It is just fun to watch your videos and dream anout the day my several UFO's can come to life. I love your personality and wholesomeness. Thank you.
Great job! Your videos are easy to watch and learn from. I like the human aspect that nervous moments bring out, so don’t feel bad about being nervous. Your passion for quilting came forth with your answers. I am a return to quilting person who took a class 35 years ago and I am amazed at how techniques have been streamlined. Thank you for your teaching style. I will continue to watch.
Great job, I could see the nerves working full steam ahead but my goodness you worked with them and gave us some good information, and a great video...hurrah!!
Hi Karen! Great video! I was happy and surprised to see the little bike postcard I made for you so long ago in the back! Glad you liked it! I hate the math with half triangles, waiting for your video on that... 😊
Thank you for the q and a. I am watching after the fact but love learning from you. I did watch your foam board organization video and plan on making a few. You are my professor in quilting! I look forward to all of your tutorials and videos.
Haha. I love your videos. I’ve started making scrap quilts for new babies. Once I find out what they are having I send my friends a dm and ask if it’s okay for me to make their baby something (so far everyone has said yes. Haha) I was basically putting pieces together and making it a surprise but your videos have opened my eyes to just how much can be done with quilting. I’m slowly becoming addicted. Haha. Anywho. Thank you so much for you videos. 🙏
I'm sorry I missed you live but you are so interesting it doesn't make any difference how long ago it was. Because of you I started back into quilting. I am right now working on a quilt for my daughter and then I'm going to do a quilt for my great-granddaughter. You have been a great inspiration and a awesome teacher thank you so much for your videos it has taught me how not to waste time and how to set up a craft room sorta in a one-bedroom apartment. I will try to send you a picture of my quilt when it's finished if I can ever figure out the technology. Thank you so much for all of your detailed information.
Great job on this video!! As always you give us some great information!! I really appreciate that you work so hard on these videos, it's a big benefit for beginner quilters like myself and even the quilters that have quilted for years.
Karen I love your TH-cam channel. I've been watching since you started. I believe my favorite is the info you gave on color theory. I don't think you can ever learn enough on color theory. I work with people at a quilt shop and I've noticed that everyone sees color differently. Keep up the great videos. I'm always anxious for your next video to drop. ❤🇺🇸
I love your comments on selling quilts and color zones. The first time I had someone ask me to make them a quilt, that they would pay me for, I couldn't figure out how much to charge. I started asking the customer questions not about how much she was willing to spend, but about the patterns and the colors she was interested in. It turned out that her color zone was autumnal colors, golds, pumpkins, orange, rust, bowns etc. If she'd simply wanted a really tiny quilt using those colors, I could probably have struggled through doing something for her. But a big quilt where I'd have to spend a great deal of time working with colors that I really don't like, I couldn't manage. Imagine spending hours and hours cringing away from the fabric you're sewing. Shudder
You go girl! That was great! I am so looking forward to making a quilt, but I first have to clear some projects I have on the go. I like all things creative......I sew for the home and want to get back to sewing some clothes for myself and my family, I enjoy planning and other paper crafts, and I love photography . I can’t wait to start a quilt and I’m happy that I have you and your videos to guide me when I’m ready to get started. Thanks, Karen. Lola (from New Hamburg )
Hi! Just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Appreciate your thoughtful answers and your honest response to making a quilt that you didn’t like or didn’t turn out as expected was refreshing. I have a few that I botched and am trying to figure out how to “fix” them. Your videos are so inviting and informative. Please keep sharing your tips, tricks and strategies. 🧵✂️
This was a fun Q & A! You did great for your first one! So looking forward to many more. I have been sewing for many years but have not "progressed" to anything too fancy. Love the angle your Tips and Tricks come from! Makes me think. Always look forward to your videos!
I, also, made the mistake of using too many fabrics in my first quilt....actually my first block. This was a group friendship quilt project. Once I saw others' blocks, I realized my block was a bit tacky. I have enjoyed your videos. Thank you.
I love your videos and this Q&A was great. It's fun to watch your videos and I feel like I am right there with you talking with an experienced good friend. I'm going to continue to like your ways, your friendly casual speaking, and your informal "show and tell" advise. Its Great!
I follow a vlog where she pretapes her "live" broadcast but answers live those that type questions or log in. Might be easier, especially just starting out. That said, this was great- I'm a new subscriber- hey, made your stash buster baby quilt- didn't come out as good as yours- and it took me the better part of 5 hours LOL. I'm going to sandwich and quilt it this weekend. Lovely pattern- not as easy as it looks- but excellent for practicing sewing on the bias.
Fantastic video, love it when people are real, no need for a perfection. I’m a new quilter and always looking for tips and tricks, and definitely cost savings. Is it possible to become a good quilter without going to classes and retreats? I have taken one beginner class and went to another quilting store to help me with a project, but I found the group are well established and feel very out of place. Thank you for sharing, I truly enjoy your videos 👍❤️😊
HI I have taught myself how to quilt via watching this channel, along with Missouri Star Quilting and Jordan fabrics. It's definitely hard breaking into a new group. Good Luck. ❤🇦🇺
I didn't really learn as much at classes as I did from these types of videos and you can watch them over as many times as you like. Angela Walters is a really good place to learn FMQ. Watching her gave me the courage to do instead of trying to be perfect. There are some I don't watch as they are too long. I really like Karen's, Jordan's Fabric, MSQC. You get a lot for not a lot of time. I do watch others as that is how I found Karen who is, as Carmen said, so real.
I missed this live video but glad it was posted here too but now that I know you are on FB I will look there also. You did great with your first video. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
Just had to say that I enjoy all your tutorials. I discovered your website very recently and look forward to seeing your forthcoming videos. Thank you .
Thanks for putting this up on TH-cam. I find it very hard to watch live feeds on Facebook. A lot of times the video is there, but no sound and I don't want to try to figure out the technological reasons ;>P. TH-cam always works; and I don't mind watching "after the fact" because you are worth watching at any time of the day, night, week, or month. Keep up the positive encouragement you are sharing. I know it must take oodles of time. I know there was something else I was going to comment on but I forgot what --- guess I'll have to watch it over. Heehee
Thank you for all the videos. I look forward to each one. I enjoyed the posting of the FB live, but actually missed the live broadcast. I"m very interested in the UFO challenge, and always look forward to what's next.
Good job! I thought you handled the "live" aspect just fine :) Regarding cutting: I have found lighting to be important. I have a desk lamp on my cutting table. Seems to really help me see the ruler lines and place them where they need to be!
I do Instagram and youtube. I have to say, I really liked your live. I slept thru unfortunately because the night before my 97-yr-old client fell and we were up all night. So of course, sleep hit me the moment I got home. But the Monday time was great.
I am only 1/2 way through the video and had to comment on retreats. This May/June, I went on a 9000 km road trip from BC to Missouri, then Winnipeg, Sask Stitches and home again. I was gone 4 weeks. I went to the Missouri Star Academy, which was great, Long Arming Workshops with Angela Walters, which were incredible and then a week quilting and bra making at Sask Stitches. The two events in Missouri did not include accommodation, it was more like all day workshops/lectures. I met a woman who lives only 10 miles from my home here in BC, while in a workshop in Hamilton, MO. Sask Stitches is an incredible event. Sewing, quilting, bra making, spinning, knitting and more over 10 days. You choose the workshops you want to take and the number of nights you want to stay. The event takes place at an Abbey, you stay in the dorms, eat in the dining hall, nice home cooked meals and sew to your heart's content. In the evenings bottles of wine magically appear and you would be surprised how many women travel with wine glasses and bottle openers. I believe you get out of a retreat what you put into it.
100% agree. Quilters are naturally shy so sometimes it takes that glass of wine to relax a bit. But at some point at the retreat you need to walk around the room and get to know people. That Sask Stitches sounds interesting...looking that up
Half way through watching on TH-cam Karen, Thank you so far for what I have heard and please, please, pretty please do a video on half square triangles! I love the way they look (when they are correct), and I have not been able to get them totally correct yet! It doesn’t help being a left handed and challenged by angles! LOL...
Oh, Karen, what a great video. I do love hearing from you and find your POV so easy to listen to. I'm so very interested in the UFO challenge. How will we learn more about it? I do follow your TH-cam channel and now your Facebook page. I do feel you are a kindred spirit and an older sister who gives such great information. I LOVE your Color Theory series so much that I've watched them several times.
Hi everyone. Here the recording of my first Q & A on Facebook. You cannot believe how nervous I was. When I edit for TH-cam I am able to delete all the pauses, the mispronunciations and mostly my overused words like 'Umm', 'just, and 'so'. Thank you to everyone that showed up. I loved from how near and far everyone is. Please ask away in the comments so I can use your questions for the next Q & A.
Was Great! Thank you
Thanks for posting this here since I'm not a Facebook person. Love your videos though!
Thank you so much. I love your tips, your "real life" honest viewpoint, and your great ideas. I always learn something new.
Very informative. And perfectly imperfect! By this I mean you show us you are one of us and we can definitely learn from you. You aren't arrogant. You love what you do and it comes through in your videos. Thanks for imparting your knowledge and I look forward to learning lots more from you and others through these videos and comments. We are never to old to learn. Until next video! Quilt on! 😊👍✂️🧷🧵
You did so well! Very conversational and approachable... just like in real life! Well done.
Stay just the way you are with your smile, your laughing, your eyes who talk!! We love you!
Someone below mentions how they love these video because you are so ‘real’. Just you. I have to agree, that’s what I love about watching you too. I’ve seen all of them and I’m working through them again... thank you 😃
Well done Karen I could listen to you all day. Thank you for your time well done.
I learn so much from you. I appreciate how much you give to all of us to become better quilters. Thank you
I actually like Angela Walter's video on cutting straight. Having the fold toward you was a big thing that helped me actually make a straight cut!
Hi. My son gave me a magnetic bowl & flower tipped pins. I love them!
So thoughtful of you to post it in here, coz I don't do fb or ig or the likes. Thanks a bunch 💐, Karen.
Also, it keeps you out of co much but I’m not going down that route
I love learning from you. Smart women teaching smartly. Bonus!
I am not on fb so I am so happy that you recorded this Karen. You are a wealth of knowledge. Even though you said you were nervous it didn't show. Doing something the first time can be nervewracking. Thank you for this video.
Hi Karen
I am living in Western Australia and just love your videos and your advice. It would be wonderful to have the knowledge on quilts that you have. Keep on doing what you are doing because you are inspiring to watch.
Me too. I shop from my stash first and usually do not need anything else. I have a very eclectic fabric haul. My friends are always welcome to raid my stash. Most of the time they need 1/2 yd. of something or one of my hundreds of fats quarters or a small piece for an art quilt. I am always glad to help because most of them are on retirement budgets.
Karen, this was wonderful. It was like a warm chat with a friend...who quilts.
I'm so sorry I missed it! The day got away from me. I love everything about you and how frank you are about life in general. Never stop being you!
I like your scarf. Not only did it match your shirt, but it complimented your complexion.
Rosanne Lytle I agree! They are lovely and they always go perfectly with her blouses!
Thank you very much.
I am glad you put it on You Tube. I don't "do" facebook.
I too am not on FB, so thank you for posting, because I did learn a few new things! :) Thanks for putting yourself out there. You make it look easier that it is I'm sure.

The mug is one of my favourite things
Thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom. You're a natural at Q & A. :)
Yes, please. A video on squaring up blocks, fabric, quilts!
Love your videos!! Thanks for doing a Q&A (and for Taylor’s help), sorry I missed it live! I really appreciate how you were specific about making a quilt for what people actually want, even getting them involved in the process. I made a double wedding ring that I thought my nephew and his niece would like but sadly I don’t think they did and I wanted it to be a surprise. However I did make a baby quilt and asked the mom-to-be for her input and to be part of the process and that was very well received. I like how you just spelled it out, I really wasn’t “getting it” as much until now. You have a gift for doing this, thanks for sharing all your quilty tips, techniques and life lessons. 🤗❤️❤️
Thanks for trying this new-to-you way of reaching your viewers. Your buoyant and encouraging personality made this an enjoyable video
Great Q & A session. I have a giant 24 x 36 inch cutting board and a 20 1/2 inch square ruler that I use for squaring up my quilts. I do it on my kitchen counter and it works great. I start with one corner and then I can also add a 6 x 24 inch ruler along the side and butt it up to the square ruler for accuracy. I have found with long experience that squaring up at every stage - each block, each row, etc. makes a huge difference in the outcome of your quilt. TFS.
Just love your down to earth attitude. Pease put a word out for out of print quilting books. There was one i saw at the library (3 dimensional paper piecing)I didn't the title and now it is gone. Surely someone might be interest in a web site or TH-cam site on how to locate quilting books. Thanks for ALL your time and information
You did great thank you. I’ve quilted 20 years and have worked in two quilt shops. I love your channel.
Thank you
You did such a great job! It was so nice to hear your infectious laugh. Love your shirt and scarf.
Color zone, yes! My daughter wanted a neutral colored quilt. I’m colorful, scrappy... boy was her quilt difficult!! It wasn’t a hard pattern... it was hard because of the color choices. It turned out great. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Makes me feel like I am talking with my friend and not a scripted lecture. Love it!!!
I was talking to the camera that was posting to FACEBOOK. This video was taken with the secondary camera necessary to make the recording for TH-cam.😊
Just Get it Done Quilts: I noticed that, too, and tried to relate. I myself am not good at making eye contact but had to force myself to get better at it when I began to do music at church. We are a very small congregation in a pretty small space. As song leader, I try to "rove" back and forth across the congregation looking directly at individuals vs. the old Dale Carnegie trick of looking over peoples' heads toward the back of the room. Maybe you can think of your viewers as your "congregation" and move your eye contact back & forth between cameras with a little blip explaining the use of two cameras so viewers understand we are part of a multi-platform broadcast.
Thank you for this and all of the other videos you do. You always manage to get me back into the studio and push me to broaden myself as an artist.
😎
I don't do fb either, plus I still work. It is just fun to watch your videos and dream anout the day my several UFO's can come to life.
I love your personality and wholesomeness.
Thank you.
Thanks for bringing this over to TH-cam Karen! XOXOXOXO
Great job! Your videos are easy to watch and learn from. I like the human aspect that nervous moments bring out, so don’t feel bad about being nervous. Your passion for quilting came forth with your answers. I am a return to quilting person who took a class 35 years ago and I am amazed at how techniques have been streamlined. Thank you for your teaching style. I will continue to watch.
Another consideration in costs is expendables like thread, needle, and rotary blade.
Love you on your TH-cam...you have a natural training voice and attitude
I saw both videos. You are wonderful to watch, no need to be self-conscious or nervous. You did a great job and can't wait for more videos from you!
I missed your live but glad to see the recording
Great job, I could see the nerves working full steam ahead but my goodness you worked with them and gave us some good information, and a great video...hurrah!!
😊
Hi Karen! Great video! I was happy and surprised to see the little bike postcard I made for you so long ago in the back! Glad you liked it! I hate the math with half triangles, waiting for your video on that... 😊
Glad you noticed. It was a nice postcard
Thanks for putting this video on your channel, I dont do FB but enjoy all your tutorials. 😁
Great video. Thank you. And I love the multi-coloured mug in front of you.
The stories that mug could tell
Thanks for posting this on TH-cam! I always look forward to your videos!!
I don't have questions. I'm just happy to be here😍
Thank you for the q and a. I am watching after the fact but love learning from you. I did watch your foam board organization video and plan on making a few. You are my professor in quilting! I look forward to all of your tutorials and videos.

Karen, really enjoyed watching this. Thank you! I only watch you on youtube
Your segment on buying fabric is spot on!!! Great advice! Xx
You are such fun, and your answers to these questions were enlightening.
Thanks for making this available on TH-cam
Good Morning from Louisiana.
When i started i had no patterns to follow and got very frustrated. So your videos have helped me. Thanks...
I'm sorry I missed you live but you are so interesting it doesn't make any difference how long ago it was. Because of you I started back into quilting. I am right now working on a quilt for my daughter and then I'm going to do a quilt for my great-granddaughter. You have been a great inspiration and a awesome teacher thank you so much for your videos it has taught me how not to waste time and how to set up a craft room sorta in a one-bedroom apartment.

Bummed to have missed this live. Will keep an eye out for the next one.
Great video. I love your style - straight forward, fun, candid and kind. Thank you so much!! Keep up the good work.

Love you! Thank you for putting yourself and your advise out here. My fav youtube channel! 🥰
Enjoyed this video. Love the orange blouse and scarf looks vey good on you!
Thank you. I like the colour too
Hi! Just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Appreciate your thoughtful answers and your honest response to making a quilt that you didn’t like or didn’t turn out as expected was refreshing. I have a few that I botched and am trying to figure out how to “fix” them. Your videos are so inviting and informative. Please keep sharing your tips, tricks and strategies. 🧵✂️

please Send me a photo when you are done
Great video. Don't be so harsh on yourself you have done a awesome job Live videos are so hard. Loved hearing your answers so "down to earth" ❤🇦🇺
Oh UFO challenge, that sounds interesting.... will be looking out for that :-)
I was looking forward to your next video, and there you are!
I'm so glad you are making videos. You are great at it.
Love your tips and inspirations, thank you so much!
Thank you for this and all your videos.
Great job! Simply charming. And always so informative. Thanks!
I’m so sad to have missed this. I’ll be waiting for the next one.
Didn't watch. I'm not a facebook person, so will wait for a better video. I like your tips.
I am in Australia, so miss the live chats, but still love it.
Me too.
Me three!
Fantastic video, love it when people are real, no need for a perfection.
I’m a new quilter and always looking for tips and tricks, and definitely cost savings.
Is it possible to become a good quilter without going to classes and retreats?
I have taken one beginner class and went to another quilting store to help me with a project, but I found
the group are well established and feel very out of place. Thank you for sharing, I truly enjoy your videos 👍❤️😊
HI I have taught myself how to quilt via watching this channel, along with Missouri Star Quilting and Jordan fabrics. It's definitely hard breaking into a new group. Good Luck. ❤🇦🇺
I agree with Debra, Karen Brown, Donna Jordan top my list, and others online, plus your own persistence, can get you far.
I taught myself how to quilt, mostly with TH-cam vids it's possible, just dont limit yourself nothing is perfect,
Just keep on keepin' on! We are always learning. 8-))
I didn't really learn as much at classes as I did from these types of videos and you can watch them over as many times as you like. Angela Walters is a really good place to learn FMQ. Watching her gave me the courage to do instead of trying to be perfect. There are some I don't watch as they are too long. I really like Karen's, Jordan's Fabric, MSQC. You get a lot for not a lot of time. I do watch others as that is how I found Karen who is, as Carmen said, so real.
I always enjoy your videos and look forward to watching them. Great job on this chat. Happy Quilting :)
I missed this live video but glad it was posted here too but now that I know you are on FB I will look there also. You did great with your first video. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
Just had to say that I enjoy all your tutorials. I discovered your website very recently and look forward to seeing your forthcoming videos. Thank you .
Yes please re: squaring up video!
Thanks for putting this up on TH-cam. I find it very hard to watch live feeds on Facebook. A lot of times the video is there, but no sound and I don't want to try to figure out the technological reasons ;>P. TH-cam always works; and I don't mind watching "after the fact" because you are worth watching at any time of the day, night, week, or month. Keep up the positive encouragement you are sharing. I know it must take oodles of time. I know there was something else I was going to comment on but I forgot what --- guess I'll have to watch it over. Heehee
Great live streaming! Your answers are so educational and humorous!
Thank you for all the videos. I look forward to each one. I enjoyed the posting of the FB live, but actually missed the live broadcast. I"m very interested in the UFO challenge, and always look forward to what's next.
Good job! I thought you handled the "live" aspect just fine :) Regarding cutting: I have found lighting to be important. I have a desk lamp on my cutting table. Seems to really help me see the ruler lines and place them where they need to be!
I do Instagram and youtube. I have to say, I really liked your live. I slept thru unfortunately because the night before my 97-yr-old client fell and we were up all night. So of course, sleep hit me the moment I got home. But the Monday time was great.
I am only 1/2 way through the video and had to comment on retreats. This May/June, I went on a 9000 km road trip from BC to Missouri, then Winnipeg, Sask Stitches and home again. I was gone 4 weeks. I went to the Missouri Star Academy, which was great, Long Arming Workshops with Angela Walters, which were incredible and then a week quilting and bra making at Sask Stitches. The two events in Missouri did not include accommodation, it was more like all day workshops/lectures. I met a woman who lives only 10 miles from my home here in BC, while in a workshop in Hamilton, MO.
Sask Stitches is an incredible event. Sewing, quilting, bra making, spinning, knitting and more over 10 days. You choose the workshops you want to take and the number of nights you want to stay. The event takes place at an Abbey, you stay in the dorms, eat in the dining hall, nice home cooked meals and sew to your heart's content. In the evenings bottles of wine magically appear and you would be surprised how many women travel with wine glasses and bottle openers.
I believe you get out of a retreat what you put into it.
100% agree. Quilters are naturally shy so sometimes it takes that glass of wine to relax a bit. But at some point at the retreat you need to walk around the room and get to know people. That Sask Stitches sounds interesting...looking that up
Love your channel. Thank you for them. I too love embroidery on quilts 💜💓 and colour,,! 😃
Thanks Karen for your live video
I look so forward to your videos.
You did a fabulous job. So much good info.
Half way through watching on TH-cam Karen, Thank you so far for what I have heard and please, please, pretty please do a video on half square triangles! I love the way they look (when they are correct), and I have not been able to get them totally correct yet! It doesn’t help being a left handed and challenged by angles! LOL...
👍
This has been great thx so much for posting it on TH-cam because I'm not on facebook and i would have missed this :-))))
Love your down-to-earth topics and instructions!
Love your videos. Thanks. Please keep it up.
Oh, Karen, what a great video. I do love hearing from you and find your POV so easy to listen to. I'm so very interested in the UFO challenge. How will we learn more about it? I do follow your TH-cam channel and now your Facebook page. I do feel you are a kindred spirit and an older sister who gives such great information. I LOVE your Color Theory series so much that I've watched them several times.
It's will be on Facebook so watch for it there
I watched on TH-cam as I don't do Facebook. Good luck to you guys on your UFOs.
Great information. Thanks for sharing. My only comment would be to look at the camera when answering.
I was talking to the camera that was posting to FACEBOOK. This video was taken with the secondary camera necessary to make the recording for TH-cam😊
Very glad to see this. (I don't belong to FB.)
I love your channel! Tfs and taking the time to do this and Taylor too lolol. Diana Romero
Loved the video ! Great questions, sorry I missed the LIVE video !
