Hie everyone. I really had fun with Emma and seeing how she approaches projects and colour. Not only do I want to start collecting vintage sewing boxes, I want to get back on track with my big EPP project. Grab your sewing and a cup of tea and enjoy.
What a lovely & easy going interview! How beautiful & meaningful that quilted garden piece will be forever to Emma!!
Wonderful idea! Peaceful times ahead💙💜💙💜💙
My take away from this interview is: "be proud of your stitches they are like your handwriting" Another great interview. Thank you!
Thank you Karen for bringing Emma on, I enjoyed it thouroughly. And thank you for all your videos, you are so encouraging. I'm one of those that is not sure of what I'm doing and spend too much time picking out fabric & patterns. Ps I accidentally hit the dislike button, please disregard that,
I love your programs!

I just love Emma's channel, she's SO peaceful and serene. Thank you for the interview - Karen the top you wore during the interview really, really suited you.
I’m interested in Emma’s comments about teaching children to sew. At the school I worked at it became a sort of a tradition to make some sort of quilt/duvet cover to be raffled off every year to raise funds for school trips etc. Each year we chose a different type of craft - embroidery, appliqué, screen printing, stencilling etc.and chose a simple squares with sashing pattern. Every year had a different theme. I sewed the final production.I remember the first year was embroidery with the theme of spring. It was amazing to see all of these 12-13 yr old rugby sorts of boys all sitting around embroidering pictures of tractors, spring animals etc. They loved it. I did wonder when I started how it would go but the following year they all requested another go. The junior class even wanted to make one for themselves using simpler designs. Thoroughly recommend it.
I just want to say that it was this young lady who got me interested in English paper piecing when I found her UA-cam channel. I’m learning to sew and quilt for the first time in my life in my early 60s and have found the English paper piecing projects to be the most rewarding for me, and thanks to Emma, I got off to a good start.
Me too! Exactly the same story. Emma has given me so much inspiration and opened the door on a new and rewarding pastime. I also love her gentle and graceful manner.
Oh that is so so lovely to hear, thank you 🤗
@@hattiedraper1061 thank you for such kind words Hattie 🤗
Me TOO.
I am feeling calmer after hearing Emma Jones...
Emma Jones is absolutely lovely 😊 Thank you so much for interviewing Emma and featuring her on your channel 🌟
Wonderful interview and so encouraging to crafters ❣️❣️👑
Thank you 🎉
Thank you for featuring Emma, she’s calm, talented and very down to earth. And thank you for asking interesting questions!
Merry Christmas to you & your family!
🌷tess
She's a sweetheart! Loved this interview!❤️❤️❤️
I taught my grade 3 students how to design and do their own cross stitch pieces last year. They were sewing under their desks while they were quietly reading and asked to bring their sewing to the floor when they had to listen. They loved it and it really calmed them down at the end of a long difficult year. Thank you for this lovely interview.
I really think hand stitching, of any kind, is so beneficial to people of all ages. How lovely that you passed on those skills to your students.
What an old soul. Her humility and sage advice was a joy.
Thank you, Karen for the lovely interview with Emma! She is so calming and talented at whatever she’s working on. I loved that that she talked a bit about sewing with her small students. A few years ago I signed up my oldest grandson for a kid’s quilt class. He is so proud of the quilt he made. Hopefully his younger siblings will be able to go soon!! Thanks, Karen for everything you do!!!😍
THAT IS FABULOUS❣❣🥰
Karen you are an enabler, you have now introduced me to a new UA-camr to follow and I have spent the last couple of days tracking down hexiforms. I am now collecting hexies. My husband is two steps from going over the edge with my increasing spread of scrap fabric and treads in the family room. I’m in love with Emma’s videos and website.
I absolutely love Emma Jones and all her English Paper Piecing techniques. I also love her fabric she chooses, she has such a gift for needle sewing. I love sewing but I do find it like her, sewing things at night sitting by my husband watching a movie and sewing my little English Paper Piecing projects. Thank you Karen for sharing Emma with us!
I've admired Emma for quite sometime and love your beautiful work. Thanks for interviewing her. I have one of my grandmother's sewing box. It's of very low quality because she didn't have the money when she was young to buy anything of great quality but it is quite precious to me. You always do a great job interviewing. Thanks
❤ the Interview and who doesn't love Emma!! I've been following Emma since her appearance on utube! Simply lovely is how I'd describe Emma and her beautiful ART!!!!
Loved what Emma said about being proud of your stitches showing! Never looked at it that way. Astounding! What a great interview, Thank you for doing this!
I wanted you know since this post I’ve been watching all her UA-cam’s and even ordered from her. Thank you soooo much for finding Emma Jones.
Thank you for having Emma on your show! She is one of my favorite sewers on you tube. I just love her slow and soothing methods and I definitely prefer hand sewing!
👍
Thank you, Karen and Emma…what a beautiful interview. Emma is so calming and inspirational. Karen, you are a great interviewer and also so creative.
Wonderful Interview. A woman after my own heart- glad to see the soothing "natural" colors and beautiful details highlighted, there are many quilters out there who enjoy these color schemes.
Thanks. This was an absolutely lovely discussion.
So happy to see Emma Jones! I love to watch her UA-cam videos, & I love her handwork! She does beautiful work, & I find it very relaxing to watch her. She is a very charming person!
I totally agree. Her voice is so lovely to listen to.
Such a nice young lady! I had just found her u tube channel a few days ago. Thanks for interviewing her.🤗👍
Great video I really enjoyed listen to Emma.
I love Emma .she so calming to watch she inspired me to try paper piecing and I love it .
I just started EPP, and you and Emma have inspired me to get out a treasure chest that my daughter gave me. I'm thinking of keeping my tools, hexie papers,
squares of fabric, and other tools in it. I also have some really pretty paper I will use to decoupage parts of it with, after I cover the brown with a lighter color paint. I will also add a handle to it, or maybe handles on the end.☺️ I also have a heavier chest I bought when working at a fabric store, and will use in the meantime, till my other one is decorated.
EPP is going to take me a long while, deliberately, to use up my scraps (we always degenerate more!).
So, I'll have time to work on this treasure chest this summer, to use in coming years.
Emma, your stitching is beautiful!!
I thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Emma!! She is one of my favorites on UA-cam. I love to EPP and have followed Emma and learned so much. I love her gentle voice and her emphasis on slow stitching which I feel is important in the world that we live in today! Thanks again…………………..
I was excited to see you had Emma for a interview. I find her very relaxing, she does beautiful work and has gotten me interested in EPP. I'm a big fan of her's.
Aww thank you Melanie! That means a lot to me 😊
I so appreciated Emma’s encouragement to be proud of our work, even the whip stitches that show on the front of our EPP projects. This is a great perspective!
Thank you for the introduction. 🥰
Nice haircut Karen 😉. I'm envious because we're currently locked down and I'm looking feral.
I inherited my Nana's darning mushroom and rug latch-hooks
What a delightful interview! THANK YOU, Karen!
I love Emma's UA-cam channel, lovely interview ❤️
Absolutely loved learning about Emma Jones! I recently found your channel, Karen, and subscribed. I soon after found Emma’s channel and was smitten! To see my two favorite craft channel people already know each other was very exciting and I thoroughly enjoyed your interview together!
Awesome! Thank you!
Loved Emma Jones interview. Thank you for arranging it
I was so excited to see Emma as your guest! I love her! Thank you!
Thanks, lovely interview ❤
I love Emma's videos she is so calming. Love her designs and the hexiform she uses too, so much nicer than using papers.
Thank you so much for your interview with Emma. I found her on you tube during COVID lock down. I have a great respect for her and her easy going method of quilting! Again, Thank you 😊 so much for another great interview!!!
Such a delightful interview. I am one of her subscribers as well.
I love watching Emma. She makes such beautiful things and I love how she incorporates wildflowers into her work. I really like her attitude to sewing and appreciate the lovely patterns she has made. I saved this interview so I could watch it after my son was in bed whilst slowly hand sewing some binding🙂 Great interview as usual!
I too save her interviews for when I won't be interrupted. Either on a car drive or late in the evening.
Oh Sarah! What a lovely thing to say, it really means a lot to me, thank you 😊
@@sunflowerbaby1853 I
Thank you Karen for these wonderful interviews where you expand our quilting world! I know you are also helping all these creative people find new followers. Bless you!
What an awesome video with two beautifull talented people that I follow.
Aww thank you Glenys 🤗
Emma is such a lovely young lady and her channel is soothing and full of great advice
Thank you so much for such kind words 🤗
Both of you we're wonderful..you both are always so sharing. And are very kind and great teachers..alice in ohio
It was wonderful “meeting” Emma! Such a calming person. Loved the depth of meaning in her work and the slow down, almost meditative approach to her work. Beautiful creations, where every single stitch has evidently been enjoyed and appreciated.
I love the comment by Emma " Be proud of your stitches, they are part of you" I agree re ladder stitch, whip stitch works for me and I do try to keep it small lol. Lovely chat thank you. PS. I have some of Emma's patterns too
I absolutely loved hearing Emma’s story. I too like to add some embroidery to my quilting even though it’s still in its infancy. I want to stay I love your channel also and look forward to all of your videos. I have learned so much from them about accepting the improvisation and not worrying about trying to be perfect like you see in a printed book. I realize this is not the average person’s reality.
Thank you so much Karen for doing this interview with Emma. She is brilliant I got onto her UA-cam and also her website. I love Epp and stitchery so her combination of both is amazing and I can’t wait to experiment for myself.🙏🏻🌹💞
Thank you again for another great speaker. Love your hair. Enjoy your day. Louise
I’ve been following Emma for awhile. Thank you for this interview. She’s such a calming joy in my life and a real sweetheart.
What a lovely thing to say, thank you Gail, that means so much to me 🌸
What a lovely lady. So gentle in her manner a lovely interview Karen. You looked as if you enjoyed it also.
I so love Emma. I have been a fan of hers for years
Thank you Kelly 🤗
Enjoyed this episode so much. Emma is my kind of person.❤️
Aww thank you so much Gail 😊🌸
I'm watching you with Emma Jones and I love her combo of embroidery and fabric little hexagon making needle cases, houses, etc- i discovered her before you, Karen and handymum korean embroidery at the same time. all of you are creative and I enter this world everyday. . i love this💕
Thank you for such kind words Sandra, it means a lot 🤗
I love Emmas style and her approach ``slow`` stitching. I could listen to her voice whenever I need a shot of calm.
Great interview dear Emma 🐰🌸🐰
She really is a lovely lady .......she got me started in sewing hexies xxxx
Aww thank you Loraine, it’s lovely to know I helped to get you started 😊🌸
Me too❣
Maybe Emma can apply to have the restoration programme in the shed do it.. I'm sure Jay Blades would have a friend who could restore the box. It's so worth looking into.
That is such a good idea Helen! Thank you 😊
THAT IS A CAPITAL IDEA! I'd love to see that on their show🥰
Thank you so very much, Karen. You and Emma have both helped me a lot over the last few months, in ways you cannot imagine.
Thank you so much for watching Hattie 🤗🌸🧵Take care 💕
Great interview with Emma. Her beautiful work is a credit to her and the love of hand embroidery from her grandmother. My grandmother lived in England but I only met her when I was 9years old. I'm left handed but taught myself to crotchet watching her when she lived with us. I admired her beautiful embroidered doilies, tablecloths etc with fine crocheted edging. I have her suitcase in my sewing room and store her works in it. I love and appreciate the skills used to create handmade items and glad I inherited the love of sewing, knitting and crochet from her.
I love Emma and I throughly enjoyed this interview. Thank you Karen!!! ❤️
It was nice to see Emma Jones. I discovered her on You Tube earlier this year and I really enjoy her videos.
I am very interested in your video on turning crumbs into strips however I do not see it linked in the description box or in the videos tab. I thought to myself... there is no way I missed that video. LOL
I can't wait to see it.
Thank you! I couldn't find it either, and the link is for the packing for travel video.
We had a whoops in the scheduling department and this video went live a week early. So I am hoping all the editing will be done for Friday.
I’ve been following Emma’s channel for a while and love her projects and style. Thanks for the interview!
What a lovely lady. I have a long-term EPP project too. I want to make my version of a purple Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt like the one my Grandma said was her favourite of all of the quilts that she had made. No one seems to have the quilt or a photo of it so I am forced to try to make it from memory. Did it have white paths, were the flowers double petaled, etc? It will be my own spin on it. I too taught my son to sew. My sisters and I were well tutored. My dad broke his leg as a kid so was home from school for months(it was the 50s). His mom and grandma taught him to knit and embroider. He does the most beautiful embroidery!! And my daughter does woodworking. No limits!
Mrs. Billings Coverlet is on my bucket list. I have been collecting fabric for the hexigon millefiore. You have inspired me to just get going on it. Thanks for the push
Great interview..I so enjoyed Emma and her UA-cam videos and Instagram she is very inspiring. Again thank you for the visit.
I went over to her site and enjoyed watching her so much, that I subscribed and plan to watch her some more this afternoon. Great video Karen. As usual.
I want to say a big THANK YOU to Emma because when I saw her first video and the way she explained, the way she do EPP so calmly, no stress, I begun to do EPP and now, I aman addict to EPP. Emma has a choice of fabric colour palette who ressemble to her personality!! She is as nice person than her nice EPP!!
Oh Claudette! Thank you ever so much for such kind words! I’m so happy to hear you are an addict now! Take care 🤗
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox dear Emma, it’s the third time that I listen to your interview with Karen and my question is: do you do a lot of hexagon without having a goal and when you want to do something you choose in the hexies box or if you do your hexies "au fur et à mesure" as we says in French meaning you need 6 in white, you prepare your 6 whites and after that prepare your 12 needed hexies??
I LOVE English paper piecing and am a HUGE fan of Emma Jones!
Oh thank you so much Shannon! 🤗
Another great interview. I have just started getting into EPP, and I really love hexies - so that is my new obsession. I checked out her website and already downloaded some of her patterns to try. Thanks!
Great interview 👍
Emma is such a lovely person. As a fellow English person I've been watching her channel for some time now and love her work. She's very inspriring. Thanks for showing her talents Karen. Thanks for your channel too Karen. I love your cheerfulness and positivity.
Aww what a lovely thing to say Judith, thank you so much. And I totally agree about Karen’s channel, I love her upbeat personality and her whole approach to quilting 😊
I love Emma Jones!!!!!
Aww thank you so much Sharyon 🤗
My oldest daughter also has tiny fingers, a leather thimble is such a good idea. English paper piecing is so interesting! I love the way it looks! Loved this conversation.
Thank you ever so much for watching Michelle 😊
OMG! Emma is so cute. She does amazing embroidery. I can't wait to check out her UA-cam channel. Thank you Karen 💕 I can't believe you've been doing the quilt circle for almost a year! I can't believe I've been watching then for a year! 🎂 Happy Anniversary! 🎉🎉🎉
It’s been a great year
Emma is a talented young woman, it’s a very interesting chat. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for such kind words 🤗
What a delightful young lady, thank you for bring her to our attention……..I love her desigs
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely video! I'm a customer and subscriber of Emma's and dearly love her attitude and creative talents. These interviews are a great idea and very enjoyable when my eyes and arthritic fingers need a rest from stitching.God bless from vera in Northern Ireland.
Hi Vee! Thank you so much for watching and for all of the support you have given me. Take care 🌸
Emma is one of my favorite youtubbers. I am working on doing all her designs.
Yeah! Love her channel! Been looking forward to this interview since you announced it. I like EPP, and also hand piecing. Strictly a hand quilter as I don't own a working machine (also work in a very small space). Agree about the ladder stitch - and it really strained my eyes. Thought that fail was just me. Also, yes; boys should learn these skills. Men who quilt and knit so often bring a fresh perspective to the crafts. Thanks to you both for the enjoyable interview. :)
Thank you so much for watching, it was an absolute pleasure chatting to Karen about all things EPP 😊
Oh what a treat! Two of my faves in one place! I've followed Karen and Emma for a little while so it is really nice to watch this inspiring interview.
I started out with hand sewing and still love it. Machine sewing feels like work but hand sewing is more like a meditation for me. I never enjoyed using cardboard inserts much. I always felt I was wasting them if they couldn’t be reused. Last year my local quilt shop showed me inklingo, I love the simplicity of printing the shapes onto the fabric and sewing them together.
Emma should get The Repair Shop to restore her grandmother's sewing box :)
Lovely interview! Emma is wonderful! I enjoy all of your interviews. The latest interview is always my favorite. Don’t know how you manage it, but you never disappoint with your choice of interviewees or your interviews!!
Loved the interview with Emma !! I will be following her..Very inspiring..
Aww thank you so much Joanne 😊
I inherited my grandmother’s sewing machine and a collection of fabric and bits and pieces that I have been putting into my quilts.
Good interview, well deserved recognition. Emma has inspired me to paper piece and I love it. I also crochet lace with sewing thread but I wear magnifying specs :) 🌸
Really enjoyed learning more about Emma Jones. I have been following her for about 1 year. She inspired me to start EPP.
Oh Terry, I’m so happy to hear I inspired you to start epp, that is so wonderful.
Happy stitching 🧵
A wonderful interview. I love her work and I admire how she loves the entire process as do I.
Aww thank you so much Loraine 🤗
Awesome interview Karen.
Hooray!! Emma is fabulous. Thanks for this interview. And a YEAR already!!! How did that happen!!??
She is amazing. I loved meeting her
Emma have you thought about applying to The Repair Shop programme to repair you beautiful sewing boxes? My friend did and we over the moon with their talent at repairing vintage items.
My Grandmother Katherine( Rahl) Bruce grew up in Liver pool England. I love your story and the wonderful projects. I would love to try something like that. Big thank you to Emma and to you for this very interesting video.
Not having an up and working fabric shop did not stop me, and many others, around here. We have two quilt fabric shops; but, it is not easy to catch either one open. There is also a small quilt shop in the old flea market that is sometimes open on Saturdays and Sundays. I have got into the habbit of buying cotton garments that are lightly used at Goodwill, consignment shops, and other second hand shops. Men's button down dress shirts are great choices for cotton fabrics.
I agree, I can sometimes get better quality fabric from my local charity shop in the shape of a men's shirt. Plus I get plenty of fabric out of them ☺
Thank you a very informative session, just started a epp project with hexie centre then fitted petals that are curved on the outer edge, then will applicay them to a pieced background to form a flower garden with some embroidery. Blessings to everyone
I love making those flowers with the curved petals, they are so fun. Enjoy your stitching 🧵
Great interview (as usual), Karen! I love slow stitching, especially EPP, and Emma's work is so beautiful!
Thanks so much for watching Jackie, and for your kind words about my work 😊
I'd have great granny's sewing box restored.❤
Beautiful wooden sewing box. I bet the craftsmen at The Repair Shop in West Sussex could help with the lining.
A few people have suggested that, so I might have to pursue it! Thank you 😊
