I hope you enjoy this interview with Leslie. And be prepared to make a list of all the things that you want to do at the Quilt museum. Can you imagine going to work every day surrounded by thousands of quilts? And I am definitely putting the 'Rob Peter to pay Paul' quilt on my list of blocks to try. So grab your sewing and your cup of tea...
Loved this interview. She was so poignant about the" black hole " quilt. I teared up too! I got to meet the first curator, Carolyn Ducey during a behind the scenes tour with my mother and aunt, who took us there. We saw a Mountain Mist batting exhibit which featured quilts made from paper patterns included in the wrappers on the batting . Hand work extraordinaire, appliqued and quilted.
Thank you! I didn't think I'd be interested in this but you ask the best questions in every interview to make it so interesting!
this sounds like it could be a great tour for you to offer!
Best interview ever! You touch upon so many aspects of quilting. Thank you.
Great interview as always! Please keep sharing! I am so lucky to live just one hour away from this amazing museum. I encourage everyone to come experience it in person. You will not be disappointed!
I think anyone who is thinking of cutting up an old quilt to make a fashion outfit needs to watch this first. Hopefully they will appreciate what they gave and not destroy it. Thank you Karen and Leslie
Lol , woo wee, watch Mary Fons on that topic. On FIRE! LOL
Sooo inspirational Karen. The International Quilt Museum will be on my virtual & real bucket 🪣 list. Bravo
This interview was amazing! The emotion she showed regarding "Event Horizon" touched me very much. Quilts can truly change our lives. Thank you. ❤️💫
Thank you Karen for such an interesting interview with Leslie from the quilt museum. Loved the red and white quilt display.♥️🇦🇺
FANTASTIC interview!!! Love learning more about the museum, the people and stories tied to those quilts, and the touching story behind you, Karen, in that HST quilt. 💖🪡🧵
Another great interview. These interviews have opened windows, doors, and hearts to all the different aspects of quilting. I don't miss a one, even if I have to watch it after the initial showing. Thank you so much.
she was delightful and moving - thank you
Wonderful, touching, insightful. Thanks Karen, yet again, for another thoughtful addition to this art we love. 🌹
Fantastic interview Karen! You two are making the rest of us tear up but in a great way! So happy a women with this much passion for all quilts is keeping guard at quilt museum ❤️
Thank you for this video. I had never heard of the IQM, and living in Australia I'm not likely to ever be able to visit it now that I do know about it. The virtual tours are amazing - I popped over a watched a couple before coming back to write this. Thank you Karen and Leslie for bringing this amazing place to my attention.
Thank you Karen, there are no words that can express how much I appreciate your UA-cam videos, I have learned so much and enjoy your interviews, the silver lining of Covid is finding you!
Thank you 🤗
Great interview! You asked such good questions. Karen, that aqua blouse is wonderful color for you.
Lovely interview. I taught myself quilting over 8 years ago and when Leslie said quilts are a great
connector of people I wish this was true in my case. I tried very hard to get people interested but
no luck. I lost my sewjo for a while but thankfully I'm starting again. Karen,I spent a few days
looking at your quick quilts videos for inspiration.Thanks for those videos. This may sound
funny but sometimes I think simple quilts can show more flaws but finished is better than PERFECT.
Oh, I am so sorry you haven't been able to make quilting connections. I love being with people in real life best, but it is nice to have found the quilting corner of UA-cam-- it can help me feel more connected to the quilting community. I also feel like the craft store and quilt store owners are fun acquaintances now. 😁
Anyways, here is a random internet stranger who wants to send you connection and community! ❤
A fabulous interview with Leslie! What a beautiful quilt hanging behind her, incredible that it’s 130 years old. 💐
Oh my! Fabulous interview. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I have visited the museum and it was fantastic. Having it come online is so awesome. With the turnaround on the exhibits it makes for great opportunities. But I have to say, there is nothing more satisfying than an in-person visit. Get up close and personal if you can!
Another awesome interview! I especially love the info about how they clean, refold and care for the quilts as well as the part about how someone doesn't have to make quilts themselves to be able to fully appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating a quilt.
I'm an artist and I have made quilts as well as other many other forms of art. My older sister is a medical doctor and can sew a button on a shirt. She loves art of all kinds, is a patron of the arts and truly appreciates what goes into creating art. We have a local quilt and textile museum in downtown San Jose, California and love viewing and discussing their amazing exhibitions. It fills me with as much joy to see her excitement and hear her gush about art as it does to make art myself. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful, heart touching interview! I understand how our hearts and emotions are so tied up in the quilts we have. Like a quilt of my grandmother's, to touch her hand stitches and remembering being up under her hanging quilt frames as she quilted and recognizing my grandfather's shirts in the quilt, or her house dresses.
It brings her right here in the present, tangible!❤️
I'm up under my very first FB group block swap quilt. I am ALWAYS up under it! LOL! It's very special! It's a covid quilt, too!
Yes, quilts tell a story, even the charity baby quilts I send out. I feel like I'm sending out a piece of my heart. I imagine a new mother choosing a quilt I made and wrapping her baby in it.🥰
I need to hush now! LOL! I'll keep on and on talking too much!!
I'm grateful for the interview and the museum is on my bucket list in my bullet journal!
So excited! I live 45 minutes from Lincoln. Have wanted to go to this museum for ages! So proud of our International Quilt Museum!
Lucky you. I am really excited to go
Wow! Thank you!! Amazing interview. I learned much more than I ever thought!
I visited last year and was awed with the variety and skill. It is worth the trip.
What a very touching interview - the museum is now also on my bucket list. Thank you
Oh Karen, this is the most amazing, inspiring and emotional interview you have done! I consider myself a beginner quilter who has struggled internally with the practical bedspread foundation and my desire to make the ultimate art quilt. I am slowly realizing that I might be able to do both, and appreciate the effort and joy of making both. Thank you.
So happy this touched you 🤗
I understand what you mean about the internal struggle but then we are creating something unique. That may not be the word but it's the only one I can think of.
Google Bonnie Hunter's blue ridge beauty and see how different the same quilt
looks in different colour fabrics.
Fabulous interview. I loved the depth of what Leslie brought to the knowledge of quilts. Just wonderful!
This was fabulous. Such great articulation of quilting and the ever seemingly inexplicable simple “why” of quilting.
I went to a quilt museum in Tennessee. It was amazing. Even my hubby was impressed.
Where in TN? I live close to Johnson city on the NC border with TN and would love to make the trip.
Thank you for this interview. I was lucky enough to tour it as our guild was a supporter of the museum.
Wow! How very interesting! Thank you😊
Wonderful video Karen. I will definitely add that to my bucket list. I’ve always wanted to go to a quilt museum and just see all the wonderful quilts. I was lucky enough to be in Bennington Vermont when the Dear Jane quilt was hanging in the Grandma Moses museum. It is only out at the time of the Bennington quilt show. And of course I had to go to the show and see all the beautiful quilts that the ladies hand quilted. Thank you for a great video
The quilt museum is only an hour and a half from me. I am thrilled! Thanks so much for the interview!
I'll let you know when I come to town and maybe we can have coffee
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts That would be great! Thanks! So personable!!!!
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts The museum is having a red and white quilt exhibition from April to September! Possibilities are endless!
Yes! The Red and Whites are going on exhibit beginning April 1st. I'm planning to visit it on my road trip across America May 24th or 25th. Let's plan a JGIDQ meet up!
I'm not sure how I missed this interview, but here I am catching it a couple of months later. It turns out to be one of my favourites!
Great interview. Now I can go to a quilt show even if I can not drive.
Fabulous interview!! Thank you!
I enjoy all of your guests. I'm not a quilter but I get something out of each and every interview. But this one has been one of my favorites. Like your guest,I am an "appreciator" of this very "fine" art. I'm heading over to the quilt museum website right now.
Thank you for a wonderful interview!
Thank you so much! What a great interview with Leslie. The museum is on my bucket list.
The Museum is on my bucket list!
Wonderful interview, I really enjoyed it
Karen, I really enjoy your interviews. This one on the International Quilt Museum is my favorite. My husband and I took a road trip in Oct of 2021. We live in Pennsylvania and wanted to see our son and daughter-in-law, who live in Colorado. So I plotted out quilt museums and quilt shops to stop at on the way. The Virginia Quilt Museum was the first stop and the International Quilt Museum was the last. Both were
so enjoyable and well worth the time and energy to see them. I hope to plan another visit to the International Quilt museum soon. I hope you make it a priority when you can. Happy quilting, Bettie
What a lovely interview! I'm so happy to hear about their conservation methods (I've studied textile conservation myself). And to hear about the relationships people have to quilts.
What have you studied textile conservation for?
Awesome interview! I had been to the museum a few years ago, and enjoyed my visit. Thank you both for always having something to see or hear about my FAVORITE pastime, Debby
Wish I could put this Museum on my bucket list 😳 but I will definitely be checking out the online site. Thank you so much for putting this interview on UA-cam. 👏👏 🇬🇧
Loved the interview- and IQM is definitely on my bucket list too!
Love your interviews but this was my favorite by far. Thank you Karen!
I cried along with the both of you. I’m already planning my trip to Lincoln. I have to see the Event Horizon in person. 💙
I think this is my favorite video interview that you have done. My own journey to quilting has me lamenting the fact that I did not appreciate my Grandmother's skills while she was alive, and I now treasure the quilt that I have because, as a maker, I understand the love and time that went into creating the Bow Tie quilt that she made just for me.
I know that feeling too….just to talk to them for an hour
This was a great interview. Visiting the museum is on my bucket list, and finding out that they now have the Joanna S. Rose collection of red and white quilts…WOW!!! Thanks for doing these interviews, Karen. I’ve learned so much from them.
Very touching. Lesley, you are a true appreciator. Thank you for sharing.
That was a really fun interview. The museum is on my bucket list too!
😭I'm not crying, your are! Oh my, what a great interview!
Wow!!! What a grand interview. Thank you for introducing e to a new museums I must go see.
love these interviews
Great interview! Thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed the interview so much and since I live only 50 miles away from Lincoln, I am planning on visiting it again this month. They are having a wonderful event on the 19th which I hope to attend. Thanks again for all the informative videos and interviews.
This is the most interesting interview I have watched. Wish I had some of the quilts from my Grandmother.
I know. All the things we should have asked her too
Powerful story.. as a widow, I "get it" ❤️
This was a very interesting interview, and so well done!
LOVED IT!!! Definitely a must see for every quilter. Thank you for having Leslie as your guest. Fabulous interview.
Oh I would love to visit there someday!
I was just lamenting finishing binge watching this series of yours and then this popped up today, thank you, I'm really enjoying these and learning a lot.
Fantastic interview! Wasn't expecting a tear jerker. Event Horizon is gorgeous.
Karen, what a beautiful interview that captured the essence of quilting as art, why people quilt and the true beauty and joy that comes from our craft! I made my first quilt as a history project in high school. Didn't quilt again for 40 years as I had a busy, meaningful corporate career. But now I sew every day and am able to give away quilts and mix my favorites with those in my home that were made by my mother and grandmothers. I hope I can make it to the museum some day. Thank you for your continued inspiration, ideas and instruction!
Awesome, on my list to visit
Got to go there this past fall! It was great and loved this interview. Thank you.
There is such a misconception of what a quilter is. A cousin asked me what I did and when I told him I quilt he said “when did you get so old?” Lol, for a moment I was stunned, but realize how much he didn’t understand.
What a great interview! Karen, your videos have helped me rediscover my love of quilting and develop my skills and creativity. You helped me not just survive but thrive during the pandemic, and I am deeply grateful.
🤗🤗🤗 We all in this together
Awesome interview! Thank you both. Teared up with both of you
I know I finished several UFOs during the initial pandemic here in NZ with the extra time at home, they became Christmas gifts for family I was seperate from at the time.
Oh my goodness Karen. What a GREAT GREAT GREAT how many times can I say Great interview. I do not have a group who appreciate my quilting interest so I rely on your interviews and other quilt you tubers. I Cried when Leslie cried because I went down that black hole once in my life with a divorce. There are so many reason in life to Express your feelings with quilting and the result is the museum. How AMAZING.
I just cant say enough about this interview. The museum is definitely on my bucket list. Thank you so very much.
That was a wonderful interview. Also, I had no idea that they put up their exhibits online. I'll be visiting virtually soon.
My favorite part was how moving a quilt can be!
As always, this was awe inspiring. You are easily one of my favourite interviewers. Thank you so very much for an outstanding interview!
I love niche museums!!! They house the most amazing collections and care for them with love.
Been there. Amazing. Amazing amazing. You will need two days at least
Beautiful interview. Thanks Karen and Leslie. From Ausralia ❤️
What a marvelous interview! Leslie is a delight and the two of you together made the interview more than doubly delightful. Thank you for introducing us to the museum and its director.
I really enjoyed speaking with her
I fell in love with quilts when I went to the Museum of Fine Arts here in Houston Texas. It featured African American quilts from Gee's Bend Alabama. The International Quilt Show comes to Houston Texas once every year. I have gone a few years and the quilts has always amazes me. Great interview.
Karen, what an wonderful interview. I am putting this visit to the museum on my bucket list. So inspirational, and amazing, loved it.
You both had me crying with you. I needed this. Thank you.
Probably the best interview yet!!! thanks
This was wonderful!!
This was a fabulous, informative and touching interview. Thank you Karen. I loved it. I will definitely add a trip to Nebraska to my travel list. I also will be watching their online shows.
Wonderful!
Enjoyed this so much!! Both of you touched the heart and soul of what a quilt means to us. Blessings!
Oh my gosh. We will have to put it on our bucket list.
This was a wonderful interview filled with inspiration and history. What a beautiful story of the quilts hanging in Leslie's location and the loving story behind your quilt too. You belong to a network of loving friends. I too have the International Quilt Museum on my list and can't wait to make that come true. Thank you so much for sharing this with your viewers.
I've been following them on Instagram, and the pieces they showcase are so inspiring. The "Event Horizon" quilt was amazing, I started getting teary-eyed seeing Leslie getting emotional. Wonderful interview, thanks so much!
I love this interview and it makes me feel like I am an artist en apprentissage!
This is a great interview. Thank you for showing.
I definitely enjoyed this video. Thank you.
So timely for me, personally! I've been to two others, almost by chance ... th New England and the one in Paducah, KY. I now live about 3 hours from Lincoln and have just finished chemo, etc., and have a couple of free hotel nights ... was thinking to plan a trip up that way!
Sounds like a great gift to give to yourself. Hope your health is improving. God bless you.
Karen I like your utube shows. I just din't comment every time because I stream the channel on my TV. You cannot press like or comment when I am watching. Just wanted to tell you I enjoy watching. Thank you for such an interesting show about quilting.
I appreciate it
What a great interview!!!
Thank you for this wonderful interview. During this pandemic, I found their museum online and it is a joy to view!
I love how they display the quilts
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts the museum is on my bucket list, too. Living in Central Florida - it will be quite the road trip with stops in Paducah, KY and Hamilton, Mo on the way!
Awesome interview, I need to go there in person as well as check it out online. Thanks for sharing.
I am from Nebraska ! I would love to see My states museum!
And that’s what quilts do. That’s right.
Been there. Is awesome
Yeah, I would fold their quilts too. 😅
