I am across The Pond and have no access to your wonderful workshops 😢, but very thankful that I have access to your channel here on TH-cam, and of course your books too ❤. I just need to find my inner child and learn to pay again 😂 x
I totally love your landscapes
What a lovely lady! I like to hear what she is saying!
And the quilts she made, are very nice too💖
I enjoyed your video so much! Your teaching style is so relaxing, which makes it so much easier to learn. Thank you so much!!!
Please post more videos! You are awesome.
Great tutorial. I am making a beach scene today to enter into a contest. Thanks for the great techniques.
Thanks so much for this video! I've been wanting to try this for some time, now, but the fear factor kept hitting me. In school, the teachers weren't encouraging. You have just made this look easy and a whole lot of fun! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Lyme Z ombie is
Same here, exactly like you. Have fun.
This is really inspiring! Thank you for sharing. Your work is amazing.
Lovely. And you are an excellent teacher.
This made me wish I was there in person. It was informative and very entertaining
Just now I am watching this vedio it made me try to do with scrap fabric following your classes . I am zero knowledge in this., beggner. Your tutorials and colors combinations are awesome. You are superb. I hope you guide me. Thank you baby. I love you.
I absolutely love your art. I’ve just bought your wiggles and waves book which I’ve pondered over and admired. Accidental landscapes is next, I have to have a go ❤️
Enjoyed every minute of it
Wow! How fun! You are my heart friend. I want to do this with my grand children. Thank you!
Thank you! Awesome class you gave me another way of looking at quilting! I'm just starting buy o was beginning to see same pattern just different sizes and positions. Don't get me wrong I still love quilting I see another pattern.
WOW, what a lovely lovely woman and a fantastic video. Thank you so much!
I’m just now getting into this. Joining a friendship group that does only this. I’m so excited
Que belleza de trabajos maestra!!! Son una preciosidad!! Voy aseguir viendo sus vídeos. Muchas gracias!! Me ayudan mucho ahorita que enfermé de Covid. Un saludo de México.
How clever and charming. Thank you.
wonderful class!
This is wonderful and I loved it so much I purchased your books. I did find that when I did a sketchbook trial of the shapes method, I got a bit of a headache =) so...I decided to do my squares 9". I'll bet that will help me by cutting down on the patterns and give me more room to explore. Being a detail oriented person was a great skill in my career, but not so much for this technique because no matter how hard I tried, I had a hard time not trying to identify each and every shape, which made me a bit nuts, LOL. Really enjoyed this video and I am truly enjoying your books.
PS, I actually use an underlayment of a glue sheet-steam a seam, heat n bond lite and wonder under- for the fraying bit, as well as ironing on a bit of glue, although I believe using the tulle in spots will be fun, too. I also give such things a bit of Kraylon spray fixative to keep things in place.
Actually 9" is too big!! Work with the 6.5".....I know from experience!!!The key is NOT to overthink! ...which is hard for most adults. When I teach the class I tell my students not to analyze the shapes....they are mere background, they serve no architectural meaning whatsoever! It's what you do to the shapes, by adding roof tops, windows, etc... that creates the village. I truly understand you frustration. I am a very detail oriented person, so for me to work (or I prefer the term PLAY) requires a lot of "letting go!!!!" But it IS fun, once you get into the creative flow. Let yourself be a child again :)
Yes, I think I panicked =) Nope you are right, I pulled out a 9" square template and it's really too big; I'll scale down some and just go with it. After doodling with my sketchbook awhile, I started to feel more familiar with the idea.
LOVE your work!!
Wonderful, I loved this!
Just getting into this so very informative thank you
The tulle concept was AMAZING 😍💜
I was 60 when I learned to thread a machine. You really can do it if you put your mind to it
Quando teremos essas aula com legendas aqui no Brasil? ELAS SÃO ARTES MARAVILHOSAS!
Just love your work, saw the video, bought your book so decided to give it a go. I was elated with my result. Took it with me to a farmers market and could have sold it half a dozen times but didn't. I couldn't decide on a price and anyway I couldn't sell my baby. I'm off to start another today and back to the fabric shop tomorrow. Have you tried covering the picture with voile, thought I'd give it a go. Thank you for your inspirations I think I need a waistcoat, too. Regards Judith Evans. South Wales. UK.
Thank you Judith!! I haven't tried voile, because it looks too opaque and would hide the village too much, but you certainly can give it a go and see if it works!! Let me know. Would love to see your village(s)!
Have completed two villages how can I send them to you for you to see? Pretty pleased with them. Thank you. Jx
@@judithevans1 oooh! I would love to see your villages. Thank you!!!!
My email is karen@quilted-lizard.com
You are great i wish i can join your lesson for your kindness 😊
So much fun
Olá, estou acompanhando o seu trabalho, se possível viesse com legenda em português, pois tenho certeza que muitas pessoas iam apreciar. Obrigada
Very good video!
Spændende projekt.❤️
I saw you using the two L shaped frames and my husband cut it for me this week.
Omgosh I have just found your TH-cam channel. Fell in love with your work and I instantly found and bought your book, and will be sorting out fabrics from my collection to use when the book arrives I simply can’t wait to start. Question. Is it essential to add the tulle on top?
Thank you Linda! Yes, the tulle is essential on the Happy Villages collage. The fine netting prevents the tiny pieces of fabric from fraying. With that said, some people like to use a fusible backing on their pieces for their villages, so then the tulle isn't necessary. This is a nice option if you want to frame the village and not quilt it.
Очень красиво, удачи и творческих идей!!! 👍👍👏👏💐💐
Very good!!!!😁
Lovely quilts! Do you add tradition binding?
Thank you! Most of the time I add traditional fabric bindings to finish the edges.
please tell me again what kind of paint you use when embellishing with paint. I heard part of what you said but I think my notes were incomplete.
Is the brand called "instead of color" for painting? please tell me the whole brand name and where i can get it; or order it." Thank you for your wonderful class and examples of "Accidental Landscapes".
PEBEO Seta Color Transparent paints. They are sun sensitive (heliographic). I don't embellish with these paints, but rather paint my fabrics and use them in my quilts. They are easy to use! They are available at some craft stores and online (Dharma Trading/Dick Blick/etc...). Check out my TH-cam video on using these paints with color tissue paper!!! even more fun!
I'm looking for the paint you mentioned but what I'm seeing is "sun printing" or uv something or other. It's confusing when trying to find exactly what you're looking for
Look for sun sensitive or heliographic. The Pebeo brand paints come in transparent and opaque, the transparent ones are sun sensitive.
Harika bayıldım mükemmel çok beğendim teşekkür ederiz
Karen, how do I order some of your books on landscape quilting. I’m really into this and need some books and patterns
Hi Susan! Thanks for contacting me. The best place to order both the book AND the landscape patterns is on my website: www.kareneckmeier.com .....another alternative for just my books is amazon.com
Красавица, ручки золотьіе. Прямо лучик света женщина. Интересно знать жива ли еще она. Пусті живет долго и счастливо ,и делает много красотьі. Прелестньі ее работьі.
Is there a place I can get your templates for the building shapes? Your villages are great!
Thank you! The templates are in my book "Happy Villages", which you can order either on my website or amazon.com Hope you have fun making some very happy villages
What kind of glue do you use?
Roxanne's Glue-Baste-It. it is water soluble, dries clear and has a super long fine applicator tip
👍👍👍👍👍
Is it okay if I say you are the Bob Ross of the quilt world?
LOL! I love that comparison. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Thanks for the great comment!
How rude of someone to have their phone turned on during a lecture/class. I have a suggestion as to where you can put that phone! It even disturbed me and I'm only watching the video. Shame on whoever you are!! What an insult to the instructor.
Cheryl Taylor Some people are just plane rude. I really get pissed when this happens
The same thought crossed my mind. Phones and small children. But I'm not a hater so ..
@@susanvanvleck3957 I'm not a hater either, but there are certain things that annoy the hell out of me!! Definitely small children. I just think that phone business is just plain rude.
@@cheryl8280 absolutely! That's what the silent or DND features is for. I guess that person missed out on that point 😆
Bob, you so right. The ringing phones are so annoying and rude.
What is the thing on the end of your bottle glue?
that's a long metal applicator tip - it delivers just the tinniest amount of glue. Perfect!
Now what does the tool do?
"Tulle" is a very fine netting that covers all of the raw edge fabric shapes. The quilting is done on top of the tulle, which holds the pieces in place and prevents them from fraying. Tulle comes is a wide variety of colors and it's not expensive. It's fun to play with!
Love this video you have inspired me to finish my Landscape and to buy lots of colors Tulle even though I think I know the color I will use.
Thank you,
Patty
