      Seeing the variety of quilts, and being amazed at the ones the judges deem "best". I like more of the non-traditional ones now, having seen such beauties. I like the ones you can sleep under without nightmares inspired by the spikey ones.

      I'm considering more and more that it might be fun to enter quilts in a local show. I find visiting shows inspirational, I go home rejuvenated and ready to create, I get ideas from other creator's colour choices and original designs and I love having a variety of vendors in one place. I get more out of watching creators who choose colour, technique and design far different than me rather than ones that match my aesthetic. You just popped up in my feed so I'll start following.❤

    I love attending quilt shows! They always provide a lot of inspiration! I had the distinct pleasure of attending Missouri Star’s Birthday Bash a few weeks ago! Jenny, Natalie and Misty are just as pleasant in person as they are on camera! I came away with a renewed appreciation for the whole quilting process and what that creative energy brings to me! Thank you for sharing your experience! I truly appreciate it!❤

    Hi Kristen, just watched this video on my TV in my sewing room and absolutely loved everything in it. Especially of course the beautiful gallery of quilts that you so generously shared with us. Just absolutely freaking amazing. It’s truly inspiring how people are so creative and so talented even down to the children and their beautiful quilts. It’s just wonderful. I cannot wait to show my niece who is now 10 and is starting to sew. I believe that she will really love seeing what her generation is creationing. So thanks again. I love your channel. I look forward to watching what you bring to us every time. You always make my day a lot more enjoyable and fun while I’m sitting here sewing and watching you at the same time! Regards from Arizona🌵🌞

    I’ve always known I wanted to make a quilt but I didn’t want formal traditional teaching. Eventually I found Jenny Doan online and that made me realise there are actually very few rules in quilting. Jenny is quite right - our brains do work differently. I’m currently on my15th quilt and my first improv quilt. Now that has challenged my brain and spun me into a wonderful problem solving mode. I would never ever enter my work in a show but I’m happy and proud to give them to my family. My mind always races ahead and I have a frightening number of ideas

    • @ScrapFabricLove

    13:08 squares behind the embroiderer. O MY !!!!! I liked SO many!!! Astounded by the 3 to 9 category work. Local quilt shop had a BIG bin of 'cabbages'. I filled a big basket with tiny rolls like this. LOVE SCRAP QUILTS !!!! Sweet to know I'm not alone )) Bins and Bins of scrap bits make me very happy.

    It was lovely to meet you. My friend laughed so much as nearly all the fabric I bought was scrap bags. I got 3 of those Moda scrap bags as I’ve made some great quilts from those before and there are not many places you can get a jelly roll for £15. Sew Motion had great scrap bags 400g of fabric for £12, lovely selection of colours and a Steve Hilliard scrap bag full of lovely blues. More than I intended to spend but I had a great couple of days

I have the correct drivers license to get around in the states (I actually got something done and not panicking last min🤣🤣). I will be sure to check out the newsletter. I had seen that something had came today. Ohhh and I will be sending you a special email with the next week!!
