    Thank you for having Irene on your channel. I found her videos last year and I enjoy watching her tutorials. I am so happy to learn from both of you.

    Love seeing two positive quilters coming together. I loved learning more about Irene, her quilting journey and what we can look forward to from her in 2021. I’m also looking forward to seeing Karen’s completed Sugaridoo quilt.

    I love Irene, so bubbly and positive. I did the first quilt along and loved learning the new techniques. I Have just started the new QAL she referred to in her new book Happy Notes. Im really looking forward to it.

    I started quilting on my own and still do it as a solitary person except when I visit a quilt shop for fabric. I haven’t made a lot of them so I still consider myself a beginner quilter. I have made a lot of beginner mistakes like starting too large. I agree that watching Irene is uplifting as well as informative.

      Canadians always seem to work in the two measurement systems. Recipes and quilting in Imperial, for example, and other things in Metric.

    What an enjoyable video. I stumbled upon Sugaridoo’s videos last year and have loved watching Irene. She is so positive and happy, plus I love her choice of fabrics. However, I have struggled somewhat with FPP, I guess I should give it another chance. Your tips in your videos have been so helpful, and your enthusiasm for quilting is so nice to see, Thank you from Pennsylvania.

    I listen French quilting from France and they mix French and English quilting terms. In French a inch , when we were imperial, was "a pouce (like a thumb!!) but the French quilters says 1/4 of a inches (pronounced like this) and we have French words for imperial! But after a long time that we are metric now, I do all my sewing/quilting in inches!! Me too!

My face gets a bit tired though as I’m smiling with Irene as she talks. She is so happy. I haven’t tried FPP as yet but it’s in my mind to try. Karen I really get so much from your videos that is helpful and practical. I’ve used so many of your ‘hacks’. I can’t wait for your next video once I’ve watched the current one. Please keep them coming. Have a happy day 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

I remember when I 1st started quilting again after my kids got older, thinking I was the only one besides my mother-in-law who still quilted. Lol then I went to JoAnn's on a big sale day and WOW! Not alone! And now here! And you two are my favorites ❣️ So real and the struggles are real and what Joys to work through and just get it done! Bless you both!

    Hope you will be able to visit the Netherlands soon. In my hometown Zutphen we have the Canadian’s bridge, because of all the sacrifices and lost lives in WW II, history is still alive here, and we’re grateful. It’s very touching to see that even grandchildren still want to visit all those places.
    Blessings from Holland. Lidy

      I'm from Schijndel (near Eindhoven and S'-hertogenbosch) in the Netherlands.
      Nice to see there are more people who are quilting over here.
      Hope when the pandemic is over we can welcom the Canadian and Americans who are the reason we live in a free country.
      Over here we have operation market garden and we think every year all that were lost whit a ceremony.

    Great interview. The struggle is real with moving between imperial and metric. As a child in the US, I remember hearing that we were going to metric. This was... 1972??? And then we didn't. I knit and our patterns are often in both metric and imperial. Although I know this, I bumped up against a kind of hilarious problem 3 months ago. I was working on the back of my "covid cardigan," a project I'm do with a row here or there during Zoom meetings. I was knitting along on the back--miles of stockinette--heading from the top of the neck down toward the point where I'd add in the stitches that go under the arms. I kept checking the pattern... "it says 23... Hmmm... Okay, I'll keep knitting..." I don't know if I was just distracted by the pandemic and lockdown or what, but it finally hit me (at about 22.5") that I had been thinking I needed to knit 23 INCHES when I really needed 23 CM -- just 9 inches!
