Was lovely to listen to you Ruth. I just love the BOM , your an inspiration to us all and so look forward to continuing this journey along with you in the future 💕
Here is my second interview for 2022. A subscriber reached out to me and suggested Ruth as a guest. I really enjoyed my conversation with this textile artist. She was so generous with her process. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. So grab your sewing and a cup of tea. Enjooy
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Thank you Karen. As an Australian I totally understand what Ruth means when she talks about the grey/green colours of the gum trees. But they change too. They can be red, orange, blue/green, silver grey to green - so many different shades. They're not bright leaf green as many northern hemisphere trees. So unique. I too love the native flora (and fauna).
I have purchased several pieces of hand dyed fabric.I am amazed at the colour combination in each fabric. Thank you for this interview. Such talent and artistic ability that Ruth de Vos has shared. Thank you for sharing this interview with us.
How can I say I’m speechless while yet typing a comment? Ruth DeVoss is such great talent, and what she has accomplished while raising six children is amazing. I’m in awe of her work.
Beautiful woman and work, presented well by you. Thank you for introducing her to me. I popped over to her website and see that she has deep and joyous faith. I encourage you to probe your interviewees about their sources of inspiration - and if faith is a source, let them talk about it. I'm probably not the only one of your fans that would love to hear about it. Think how many of us prayed for your son :>) Ruth has worked out a way to express her faith subtly and gorgeously. It would be interesting to know how she arrived at that.
Just so inspiring to hear from such a talented artist and her journey and process, heretofore completely unknown to me; eye-opening, delightful, energizing!!!
I love textile dyeing. I took a class on fiber reactive dyes and I was hooked. There are so many things you can do from immersion dyeing to tray dyeing, print paste fabric painting...there are so many options. It is an art in and of itself.
@@jedberg7244 Any fabric I have dyed has usually gone through at least 3 cycles in the wash. If using fiber reactive dyes (that's what I use) they should not bleed and can be cared for like any other cotton fabric.
Thanks Karen for another great interview with an Australian quilt artist 1🇦🇺. We have such a beautiful flora in OZ and great to see it in such beautiful art quilts. I've tried art quilts but nothing as intricate as Karen's work.
It’s been quite a day- I don’t remember if I commented or not- but here goes. I have seen her work on Instagram and was so intrigued. Thank you so much for having her on! I bought her book (digital) and it comes with two patterns! Thanks again to you and Ruth
I just love this interview. I am starting up sewing again after 20 years off. So the organization things weren't me this year. But I like your December videos and I really look forward to more interviews while I sew.
Karen thank you, always interesting videos and thank you for posting your video even considering the time difference!! I loooove the quilt that you have on display! Pattern available?
@@jedberg7244 You take a large container (like a Rubbermade tote) and put a rack of some kind in it to keep your fabric from laying in the bottom. Bunch up your fabric on the rack. Put a heaping load of snow on the fabric and then sprinkle dry dye powder on it. You can use different colors or just one, it's up to you. As the snow melts, it separates the dye colors out of the powder and they blend onto the fabric. If you use orange dye, for example, you may get orange, pink and even some yellow color from it. Purples are neat to see blend into their basic color components. It's kind of like when a black marker bleeds onto fabric and you see purple instead of plain black. When the snow has all melted, you rinse the fabric and have a custom, one of a kind piece of fabric. Very cool!
Dear Karen, I enjoy and learn so much from the interviews! So this is my list of request interviews. 1. Quilt fabric. What is the difference buying QF from a Quilt store vs a chain store all purpose sewing shop? 2. Quilt fabric designers ??? Who are they and how do they interphase with manufacturers? 3. Who are the quilt fabric manufacturers….where is the fabric manufactured? I do purchase Moda, Bella etc. Hope this gives you some ideas. Is your head hurting!? Blessings Susan North Carolina USA
We have one quilt shop here that does not carry solids, prints with bugs, prints with spiders, prints with snakes and lizards ; because, the owner of the shop doesn't like solids, bugs, spiders, snakes or lizards. When I ask her if she was ever going to offer solids? Her answer was, "Why would you want solids when you can use beautiful prints? The only way to get certain colors here is to dye fabric yourself. Many patterns require solids.
Went on the web site to sign up for block of the month or a pattern but could not find it. Have you managed to find them? I could not see the link below either.
Think you will have to email Ruth. Her website is a bit obscure. I am doing her gum blossom BOM (3 blocks to go) & I have not found any information on her site about continuing access to the BOM for new subscribers. She said in this interview that she will issue a new pattern this year (2022), not as a BOM though, so I assume those of us on her email list will be notified & it should be on her site. Her designs are beautiful & it is a very enjoyable process ….
WOW -- wow, wow, WOW! I am no where near the limit -- far, far, FAAARR less in pushing any boundaries. I'm lucky if I can come close to any of the most minor of "strict rules of quilting" that I grew up with. How "in fear" should one live of getting hand dyed fabric wet and it just bleeding everywhere?

Thank you for your amazing channel. I learn so much from you.
Karen, I just love this series you do interviewing quilters and creators. Thanks so much!

Thank you Karen for having another Aussie in Quilt Circle. I miss seeing those Australian colors.
Wonderful interview with Ruth de Vos! Loved it.
What an amazing woman! Her artwork is stunning. I need to know more about Ruth deVos! Thank you for introducing her to me.
What a talented lady! 👏 great interview! Really enjoyed it 😊

Just found this about our local Art Quilter, whose work I love. Thank you! From Perth WA

Such gorgeous quilts. Just breathtaking
Blasts from my past; I grew up and went to Uni in WA, spending time in Karratha at high school. Great to see such a great talent and lovely person
Thank you for another great interview.

Wow! Another amazingly inspiring interview! Thank you Karen for bringing these lovely gems into our sewing spaces!
Thanks for introducing this artist to us. Enjoyed this interview very much! Fabric dying sounds like something to explore.
Living in South Africa with many bluegum trees, I know exactly what kind kind of green Ruth is talking about!! ♥️
You are blessed. South Africa and other African countries have such beautiful textile dying opportunities.
Thanks Karen for another great interview with an Australian quilt artist 1🇦🇺. We have such a beautiful flora in OZ and great to see it in such beautiful art quilts. I've tried art quilts but nothing as intricate as Karen's work.
The intricacy of your piecing blows my mind!!! Such an inspirational artist! Thank you both for this interview :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another fun interview! I hope you have a marvelous week. Thank you for posting this video!
Beautiful work! Amazing piecing! Thank you! Dyeing, the idea fills me with trepidation!
Great interview thank you Karen and Ruth. Cheers from Melbourne (Australia)

Loved listening to your interview with Ruth while working on my Flowering Gum block of the month up to month 9
What great dedication and focus.
Absolutely beautiful quilt pieces. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

This is great video, I’m from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching!
Very talented lady ♥️

Have you been able to get Ruth deVos’ BOM patterns?
This was interesting, but I wish there'd been more show along with all the "tell".
Check out her website
