    I was on this cruise with Tula when the world shut down. It was a very strange feeling to get rushed off a ship. It was very ominous to go into an empty Miami airport and then land in an empty Atlanta airport. There was hardly anyone on the interstate on a Saturday afternoon.
    Tula was a great teacher, by the way!! 😃

    This is, I believe, your best interview ever. I am amazed at how much I learned. I’m truly in awe of Tula Pink’s intelligence, creativity, and passion. Your interview really pulled back the curtain to show us just how much work it takes to produce a fabric line (and so much more).
    Thanks for your excellent videos, Karen Brown. I have watched every video you’ve ever done and keep going back to my favorites (like How to Sew Straight and How to Bind a Quilt) time and time again. You produce the BEST quilting videos available on UA-cam. I appreciate the work you put into them.

    Brown is the natural color of earth , brown is the original color of the first original people on this planet...brown does not make me think of poop , it makes me think of all things natural to our planet....like myself a brown woman who loves to quilt because my brown ancestors created it along with weaving and aplique......brown has created the most beautiful things !!!!!!

    I’m relatively new at quilting /sewing but have always been artistic. Painting, drawing, sculpture, tattooing etc. always loved textile but was intimidated by the process and decision making.
    Now I’m indulging in fabric and although I love Lori Holt’s prints, Tula Pink’s fabrics impress me the most. It’s so detailed and bright. I can appreciate the work that went into it’s creation. I’m waiting to improve my skills before working with Tula’s fabrics. I made one beautiful puff quilt for my daughter using Tula Pink’s Curioser and Curioser line. It was so fun to play with. Lots of fussy cutting, which appeals to me. My daughter loves it so much.

    I love her description of the ‘living room purple’. My husband and I had a spare room we called ‘the purple passion room’ because of the paint colour we chose. Love that colour. This is a great interview. Thanks Tula for your great designs and thanks Karen for the interview that gave us all some insight into this amazing inspiring woman.

The day you broadcast this, I was on my way back to the States from the family cottage in Magnetawan, ONT. So great to be back for the first time since 2019. Lots of handwork and perfect weather for the lake. I hated to get home to 90 degree weather! Stay cool!

    I love Tula Pink fabric. When I found her on Tuesday’s I was elated. I love to watch her and hear what she is doing. I bought my 570 QE when Bernina made a machine with her design on it. I had been waffling on whether to purchase it or not and once she got involved I was all in.
    I am so glad you had Tula on your program. This is my most favorite interview you have done.
