Absolutely loving this video series and meeting all the fabulous designers. Sara is a delight. ❤

Misty, I love your interviews. You actually let the guest talk, yet you are still part of the conversation.

[@nanasniftyneedle-yh9sp]

I do not knit or crochet but I really enjoyed this interview and learning about Sara’s process for planning and executing her projects. I love this new series of wonderful artists! Thank you Misty! ❤️

[@glory50fyde]

Would LOVE to see some items your interviewee’s have made!!

[@debbieparrish4369]

I love Misty's chat show. The camera positioning is much better. Thank you ❤️

[@susanharber6488]

Sweet, but examples of their work, even if just a very few, would be a great addition

[@laritapope1982]

Awesome to know that I’m a project person!! Sarah described me perfectly! Great interview! I’ve really enjoyed this series!

[@jessicabenjamin-i4z]

Sara hold a special place in my heart as she was the one who finally taught me how to crochet a few years back! Happy to see you again! 😊

Hello hello👋

[@SKZak-e8y]

I so enjoy these interviews.

[@carolhicks283]

Enjoyed this so much, thank you both.

One of the character traits that God has, that is the most meaningful to me, is His unquenchable desire to communicate with us. He communicates verbally, through the bible, through nature and through humans. It’s wonderful that you are a communicator also! You ask your guests meaningful questions and we get to benefit from it. You have such a caring, kind, and encouraging personality, I’m not surprised that the people who you invite to sit down with you, gladly accept. Thank you for doing this program. It’s a blessing for your listening audience getting to know you better, and your guests. I’ve enjoyed every interview that I have seen.
Years ago, when Alan asked his mom if she would be willing to teach online, neither of them had any way of knowing how God would use quilting tutorials. People around the world don’t just get to learn about quilting, a community was born! Each of you pour your all into the business and the result is like the world’s strongest magnet. We are drawn to you. Thank you, and God bless you, for branching out beyond teaching techniques.

Would love to see their work and special pieces. Show patterns and yarns.

[@robertacaruthers7568]

Very nice interview. I am a process crafter myself, very rarely I set a deadline to finish an item. Thank you for giving insight to your husband needing to go somewhere else when you frog an item. My father in law gets terribly upset when I do that in front of him. I thought he was just cranky- now I realize it really affects something in his thought process.
I didn't learn anything from my grandparents even though one was a woodworker and another had a floor loom. My mom taught me to knit and sew, everything else I had to self teach.

I love this show and all who have been interviewed. But, the set needs some sprucing up, that pink wall in the background could use a paint job and maybe a quilt that says Homespun or showcase the guests work. Keep bringing these great interviews! You are doing a great job Misty!

[@EOgma]

Wow, she really knows her stuff! Also, she reminds me totally of Tula Pink.

[@nildamager1649]

Thanks for sharing your story.❤

[@susanappleman9202]

Wow, I just learned something about myself… I’m a project person too, Misty. That explains why I sometimes find myself frustrated because I have so many things “started” and not finished.

[@barbaraprice599]

Wow, I'm a project person also..
I have to finish the job I'm working on before I can move on to the next project. Besides, if I have a problem, I have to figure out a solution before I can move on. It's amazing!!!😅❤😘. Thanks

[@maryannnations2993]

Why don’t you show some of their work on every show.❤️

[@cheryleaston6820]

Good idea

[@valerieenglish3468]

I really enjoy the process of creating, and I'm always pleased when i truly like what I've made. There have been times when I've taken it apart and done something else, or sometimes I've said-"I'm not crazy about it, but I've learned something..."

[@lindalee9177]

I love Sara Delaney. She is so talented. However, I would love to hear about Jenny Fish who inspired me with knitting. I am so grateful she started One Big Happy and feel there needs to be some recognition of Jenny! What are Jenny Fish plans? Thanks

[@debmohler8833]

I really like to watch you. I wish you would show how to do knitting and crochet left handed. I have trouble following and certainly changing patterns to accommodate for left handed people like me. I am a quilter and watch Missour Star regularly. Help!!! For us left handers.

[@judywiseyantos7169]

Wouldn't videos for left-handed people be great? Sometimes I feel like I'm back in college and all the desks for left-handed people are located way in the back of the classroom

[@debralucca7527]

I can completely relate. I am left handed and feel lost sometimes. My Gramm taught me to knit and Aunt Betty taught me to crochet. it helps to sit directly across from the opposite handed person when learning. I'm so glad Jenny is left handed! ❤

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thanks for sharing.

[@nildamager1649]

I am a project person. As a quilter I always finish my project before starting another. I am thinking of crochet or embroidery. Knitting feels too heavy ???

[@irisuhde7635]

Thanks it was very interesting.And with nitting Projekts, say I do 3 or 6 rows a day and it will be done in a few weeks. Like I sew 15 min. Or 1 Block a day , on a quilt I don't like so mutch any😊 more ,but wann to get done.

[@michellewelch6013]

Yawn…
