    Loved your autobiography, Jean. I used to watch you & Alex Anderson in the early 2000s on TV. I was a beginning quilter & retired, living in FL. I'm still following you even tho we're both older! 😆 still love quilting. You never fail to inspire me!

    You have the best color sense and I appreciate that.
    I can see that you intuitively “feel” the colors. For me I “hear” them.
    Only someone with synesthesia could choose colors like you do.

    Hi Jean, I took a class from you over 40 years ago in Tacoma through NAGOPS. It was strip quilting in garments. I made a little pink and yellow vest for my daughter and later a dress for myself. I still have both. In more recent years I have attended two outdoor quilt shows and one week of classes before s show. What wonderful memories. Just took out my autographed copy of "from Quilts to Clothing.....Pieced and Puffed Apparel." Thank you for all that you have contributed to the quilting community.

    What a wonderful interview! Upon retirement in 2011 I took one of your classes when you were in Portland and was reintroduced to quilting which I hadn’t done since the 70’s when I made a granny dress with a quilted bodice. I have been hooked ever since and count myself very lucky to live nearby where I can attend classes and events at Quilters Affair every year, even online during the pandemic! Thank you for everything you do and have done to educate and inspire us and to bring forward this mission so successfully into the generations to come!

    Inspiration and Education!! Oh my goodness such a wonderful video!!! You most assuredly inspire me and you have educated me from these videos and will do so next month while I attend the QA and SOQS. I'm so blessed to get to make the trip across country in July to hopefully meet you in person! It is on my Bucket List Quilt, which you will see next week, yes, it is LITERALLY on my Bucket List Quilt. I name names LOL. I have to cross off everything on that fiber list! I am so excited it is hard to contain it LOL. Congratulations on the success of your shop and on raising such a wonderful family. Hugs to everyone!!

    Thank you Jean, for all you do. You have always been an inspiration to me, since I first took a design class with you at Common Thread. I hope to see you again at Quilter's Affair, which is always a highlight of my year.
