I loved this episode! I am Irish, still living here. It is so wonderful to watch and to know there are people in the world still passionate about their craft. These artists all have a wonderful sense of calm and passion. Well done to you all for your very hard work, God bless you all and I hope your trades continue and your businesses succeed, that the world will slow down and appreciate these beautiful products
I’m a quilt maker n I’m obsessed . I love to see other quilters work. I’m teaching my 15 year old granddaughter n she’s already in love with fabric n color. Thank you so much for this video. I get you !
This is all fabulous! All these things are becoming a lost art. We need to bring it back to America instead of all the kids watching tv & tech devices. What fun! Thank you
Very impressed with the boat building episode. Watching the young folks caught up in the history and craftsmanship in very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Ya'll dun GOOD!
This is just sooo good I’ve loved the ladies work for so long I would give a lot to quilt with them for a little bit and that voice ohhh thank you for posting regards from Ireland
Great video! The trouble with ETSY is that they now also allow counterfeit goods, and counterfeit "silver" US coins to be sold. Totally undermines a whole culture.
Makes me sad looking back to when Etsy wasn't corporate and all China mass sellers. When it was actually on 3.5% not 5-6 different fees and a percentage. When I didn't have to pay $100 for ads, or try to stick to these new rules to be a star seller and get penalized if I don't respond to spam/scam messages. It's really gone downhill bad. And they're trying to make us offer free (Out of our pockets) 2 day shipping. We're not Amazon, that's the draw of the whole idea of small handmade products. They lost the vision.

I usually really enjoy these and I liked parts of this, but the cultural appropriation /mansplaining quilting segment was almost painful to watch. What a contrast to the many intergenerational segments of this series. Those are some talented (and tolerant) women to let him insert himself into their space like that.
Totally agree. Why did he get brought in to commentate their art and tradition? They spoke beautifully for themselves, as did their work. And when he asked if he could copy her and she politely said yes, I know it was a bit tongue in cheek, but how could it not make you think of the long (ongoing) history of cultural theft and appropriation. Very odd choice to include
Goodness you are ignorant. Before your fancy new term “cultural appropriation” it was called “inspiration”. All artists get their inspiration from other artists so please stop inserting race and culture into the equation like it’s wrong and learn more about art history and “influences of styles” that come from other cultures. It’s nothing new to the art world.
Hang in there folks people are sick of weightless thin itchy microfiber children’s pajama that looks like an old rug after one wash. 100% cotton, natural fibers and great craftsmanship that outlasts is bouncing back. Crap for free is still crap.
What a fabulous show that Craft in America is. Now more than ever I say, MADE AND BUY IN THE USA!!
Loved watching the ladies from Gees Bend. Very few things bring me joy like quilting. Very relaxing.

I did not mention Graham who is fantastic. Very passionate, and cannot say enough about him.
The women of Gee's Bend are GENIUS's...they should have their own episode....
Always mind blown by your documentaries, featuring incredible artist and craftsmen ❤❤❤❤❤
No hablo Inglés pero solo con ver el trabajo de estas personas me siento conmovida . Realmente esto es arte.
Amen! Thank you Carol for having all our backs! You ARE the guru of fine craft. #makersmake #onlybyhand #artisancraft
This is one of my favorite episodes ! I can't believe no one else has commented ! Thank you so much for putting these on You Tube !!!

I wish I lived close enough to these ladies to spend time with them and learn!
Great video! The trouble with ETSY is that they now also allow counterfeit goods, and counterfeit "silver" US coins to be sold. Totally undermines a whole culture.
This is fabulous! I hope to get to Asheville very soon! Made in America!
Quilting section = Art pieces. Respect.

WHY are there only 211 likes? There should be millions.
what a fabulous topic and everything included!
Graham is very good to offer apprenticeships to those kids. Many tradies avoid having apprentices because they don't want the competition later on.
So sweet. What a wonderful life.
His classes are pretty popular at quilt shows.
Awesome video I didn't think it would exist
😍uau Lindíssimos trabalhos👏👏👏 I love 💗Patchwork yes👍👍

totally agree. They have really gone downhill.
Fantastic
that etsy bit is a bit sour looking at where that went
not a fan of this guy (Joe) but shout to the beautiful women and the culture that fuels the quilting art form.

у одеяльщиц врожденное чувство композиции.Чем-то напоминает Малевича.
I had to quit making clothes for other people because they did not want to pay me for my time. they wanted cheap prices not good clothes.

agreed. He was an annoying mansplainer.
Hmm ....

Nn
Although it's interesting to see the quilter and his craft I find him arrogant.
