It's a holiday here today so it's nice to have a quiet moment to listen to this interview again. It made me really miss quilt gatherings as Laura is one person I would love to have a sew-day with. Enjoy.
Have you ever considered to place your interviews as a podcast on Spotify? I often listen to them and I think it would be great to have them as a podcast. Not many good quilting podcasts out there yet!
What a fun interview! Please have her back again in the future; she has such a gift for story telling. It would be awesome if one of the machine manufacturers would donate a long arm for the region to share once a suitable location is identified.
This interview had me smiling the whole time. Beautiful lady with a kind and generous heart coupled with giggles and a bit of mischievous nature. A true Elder ❤️. I am fortunate to have worked with an Aboriginal Child Welfare agency for 38 years in Northern Manitoba with Cree and Dene communities and blessed to have had many Elders in my life 💕. I too could listen to Laura for a couple more hours and thank you Karen for sharing her with us. And just a coincidence, my parents had a place in El Mirage Park in Mesa, Arizona and my mom is an amazing sewer and quilter. I wonder if they were in the same park or met?
What a lovely person she is! This is by far my favorite interview ~ a quilting retreat with the two of you would be amazing. Thank you, Karen, for all that you do to teach and share your love of quilting with us.
Listening to your chat with Laura Horton today was like taking a trip back in time to a wonderful place full of the stories and laughter of the aunties who taught me to sew and quilt star blankets for give aways. It doesn't matter your culture, the love, the work, the creativity and the FUN that go into the quilt are what matter. Thank you Karen and Laura for a wonderful time to smile. Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ
OMG! The more I watch Laura, the more I fall in love with her. What wonderful energy. I have made the most amazing things when I have been forced to improvise and have found my quilting Goddess a few times.
Perfectly delightful person with a lovely personality. This is my favorite interview so far. She's a riot! It's rare to find a gem that shines so brightly. Thanks, Karen for bringing a smile to my days yet again.
So happy meeting this Godess ...such joy and life shining from her face...love her laugh...stars are my favorite too...made my life richer today ...thank you
This is enthralling! What an incredible lady. Wish there was a huge "love" button to choose instead of a plain old thumbs up. Best interview yet, Karen. Your channel keeps going from strength to strength. Thank you for all you do both for the quilting community and for our everyday world.
Oh Karen what a beautiful person she is, so full of joy. Thank you for the opportunity to meet her and bask in her joy for life and care for others and her community.
What a great interview. Quilters are the best people to be around. Even the quilt police. If someone says you can't or shouldn't do something, quilters find a terrific example that defies that restriction or limitation. So many words of wisdom in that interview. Thank you for the introduction to Laura Horn. I could listen to her for hours while quilting or doing nothing. Can't wait to retire next year.
Hello Karen, that was a great video. I enjoyed all the smiles, laughter and the joy she has. I too enjoy the quilting of my blocks, it give me joy and a satisfaction that I have completed another quilt. I also have too much of a stash and need to start using it up. Thank you for all your videos, they are so knowledgeable and refreshing. Sincerely, Angela
Love the colours she uses in her quilts. I’m from Northern Ontario originally and spent some summers in the Indian community on an island called Moose Factory with a friend who was sent to our town a couple hours south to school. Such welcoming and wonderful people. I really enjoyed this interview. I feel the same way about completing my quilts myself. I love the work a longarm era does but it’s not mine then. Her happiness and zest for life and quilting is contagious. What a wonderful person and her quilts are lovely. Thanks to both of you.
Thank you so much for the humor, love, excitement, and joy quilting brings us. I am also in awe of how universal and culturally-specific quilt making is.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Laura is so sweet, hilarious, and so much fun to listen to. I love her star quilts for sure. Beautiful!! Oh, and I'm going to have to look for my Quilting Goddess so sure. I like that. I just loved this lady's humor! would love to spend a whole day with her, I could learn a lot from her. She's fun. She stays busy, does a lot for others. Please do another video with her again. Thanks for sharing her with us.
Another great interview with a wonderful person! She really spoke to me especially with her take on rules and the quilt police, the love of gifting and especially to have fun with it. Thank you so much for introducing so many wonderful people who happen to quilt.
What an absolutely fabulous woman ! Funny, intelligent & more importantly a beautiful soul. Most definitely your best guest yet Karen. You both shine in this interview x
Loved the interview with Laura. She is a lovely character and it must be great for her students to learn from her. Loved her quilted jacket and quilts too. They all looked beautiful. 👍🇦🇺
I can’t love this interview enough! Her laugh, her stories, her upbeat personality and most importantly her attitude about quilting and LIFE ❤ keep finding these amazing individuals…please! You are teaching us so much and this episode helped me smile and give me an attitude adjustment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great job Karen
I absolutely loved listening and learning from Miss Laura Horton. She is an amazing women. Thank You so much for bringing her beautiful knowledge of quilting to all of us. Tracy from Virginia Beach, Va
Ohhhh, I grew up in her neck of the woods(little further north of her). Just listening to her talk was fabulous. I have a hand quilted lone star quilt that was made by a very dear lady on a fly-in reservation up there. It's a treasure. My granddaughter said "Kookum, can you make me one like that??" Nothing strikes fear in a quilter's heart like the idea of making a lone star quilt! Maybe one day, just for her... Thankyou for the lovely visit with this wonderful lady!
I love this woman! What a great episode ;-) I have always loved how quickly the quilting community has taken me in - where ever I go - whether I walk into a quilt shop, a quilt show or meet another quilty friend - so that I always feel a part of this community.
What a wonderful interview, thank you Laura and Karen!! Loved the stories, and now I know to thank the quilting goddess when my bobbin doesn’t run out of thread before the seam is done!!😅
I enjoyed this interview so very much. I grew up in Indian country near the Navajo (Dine´) reservation & my most favorite place to live was Taos, riding horses on tribal land near the mountain. Her spirit is familiar & warm, absolutely contagious. Fantastic interview. Thank you!
Laura Horton"s conversation with you touched on the pain of some sewing projects. I just finished such a project & as you said, once the border was in place it all came together. Thank you & Laura for expanding my understanding of community.
I have enjoyed your videos for some time now & have learned so much from them. This one is no exception. I learned that Laura was a quilter! I live in Kenora, ON and know her from her professional life in education. I am so pleasantly surprised. Next time I run into her I will definitely talk quilting/sewing with her. I too sew many, many star quilts for those I love ❤️. I often incorporate animals and other images within the Star. It’s so much fun to see people’s faces when they are able see the image within the star. Thank you for highlighting a fellow Indigenous quilter. Much appreciated.
Oh my, I think each interview is better than the last one. Love her views on different quilting issues and ideas. Especially the “quilt police”. Such an inspiration and it would be amazing to meet this wonderful person.
So enjoyed your interview with Laura. A craft that is built around putting pieces together is certainly the place to thrive as diverse community. Thank you.
I would really like to see a story quilt and learn how to make one. Your friend was such a crack-up. I love her sense of humor. We really shouldn't take ourselves too seriously.
What a lovely lady! Her character is as colourful as her quilts. Y granddaughter has taught herself to make ribbon skirts and also does beadwork. It is so wonderful to have the young people want to learn and value our skills from times past.
It's a holiday here today so it's nice to have a quiet moment to listen to this interview again. It made me really miss quilt gatherings as Laura is one person I would love to have a sew-day with. Enjoy.

"In the quilting world, there's only the color of fabric..." Love it!
What a fun interview! Please have her back again in the future; she has such a gift for story telling. It would be awesome if one of the machine manufacturers would donate a long arm for the region to share once a suitable location is identified.
There is much joy here! Quilting isn't just an activity is it? It's a citizenships that transcends boarders. I love it ❤️
This interview had me smiling the whole time. Beautiful lady with a kind and generous heart coupled with giggles and a bit of mischievous nature. A true Elder ❤️. I am fortunate to have worked with an Aboriginal Child Welfare agency for 38 years in Northern Manitoba with Cree and Dene communities and blessed to have had many Elders in my life 💕.

I absolutely luv Laura. I feel like she is the perfect example of the kindred heart of all quilters, everywhere.
I’ve met that quilting goddess! Only yesterday - twice with bobbins! 😳
“The art of giving from your heart..” wise words from a wise woman. Such a good interview. Thank you, Karen!

I am here in Albuquerque so I get an immediate picture in my mind of the stores in Gallup. Quilting makes the world closer and more friendly
I will have to listen to this when I need to smile. Her spirit is incredible. Thank you Karen for sharing with us.
What a wonderful, inspirational woman! We need more people like her in the world.
Right?! I aspire to be like her 💖
Thanks Karen, what a great interview. Laura is such a lovely,happy person. Cheers from Melbourne.
