and here we are in 2024, and this is still the funniest quilting video around. I make my unquilting friends watch this for kicks. And now, finally, I am going to try this block. Love you, Karen!!!
Here we are in 2023... I've followed you for years. So fun seeing this early video. You go, Girl!
I love your channel! You are so much fun! You have smarts, wit, humility, and candor. Plus…you can quilt! Sign me up!
My new favorite Karen video! I'm so used to the polished & professional videos you make now, that this throwback is totally endearing. AND lots of fantastic information-- that hasn't changed! A Texas-sized "Thank You!" from this quilting mama. You have no idea how I've grown as a quilter just from watching your videos. Be Well & Best Stitches!
After discovering you this winter, it was just delightful to see the start. No wonder you have 300000 followers. Your approachable manor has made you a star. As an art quilter with 40 years experience, you’re the best beginner advocate I’ve seen. I’ll be recommending you to my students.
The fussy cut economy block has got to be my favorite scrappy block. Maybe it's the whimsy of the center piece. I find it charming. A delightful surprise in every block. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.
Of course, the first video that made me a fan. Love the tidbit in the credits re: "no laundry, etc." I re-visit this video from time to time just for the fun of it. Priceless!
I've watched several of your videos but this is the first time I've seen his one. You are a hoot!! I love your honesty and the fun way you showed the pros and cons of the process. Thank you so much. I look forward to watching all of your videos.
I go back and watch this one when it pops up in my feed. It makes me smile every time.
Ha…I knew nothing
You and I should be friends! Love your personality and ALL that you share-good, bad, ugly. You have taught me and a multitude of others so very much! Hugs
The adventures of a lifelong learner can fill many, many blooper reels! You’ve learned so much and taught so much. ❤️
So fun to watch "in the beginning!" This was much better than a lot of more experienced You Tubers I've seen. Adding this to my scrappy quilt round up!
I have watched all your newer videos, and just ran across this one. I laughed out loud and enjoyed it so much. You are terrific!
I have to say.... I just love you! I'm so happy to have found your tutorials because you are so real, honest and down right fun!! Thank you for making these videos and sharing your talent and wonderful personality!!
The freezer paper, not sewing through the paper method is great! I took a workshop with this method and we sewed curved flying geese and a mariner's compass! Instead of tracing, we used the sewing machine, unthreaded , to make our pattern...my workshop sample turned out fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed that workshop! We had a lot of prep-work, but it was certainly worth the effort!
It’s my preferred method for med to large scale blocks too
Glad I found you! You’ve tackled some of my ‘bugaboos,’- with easy instructions AND humor.
After months of losing my ‘sew-jo,’ I decided to clean and purge-through my stash. I try to do this once a year- but my last 3 summers I was laid up with 3 separate surgeries and recoveries! This year, I’ve had 2 (or more!) old UFOS which WAITED!- staring me down!
Your videos have cheered and encouraged me- I have taken a couple ‘mental health’ days from work to PLOW through a couple of those projects and I’m gradually feeling better.
Clutter and too many UFOS left me depressed and frozen in place wondering what to tackle. The many choices had overwhelmed me- so I had backed away and would do nothing for yet ANOTHER WEEKEND.
Here’s hoping I’m on the verge of Creativity again! I’ll keep watching!
Thank you, Karen❤!
I loved this video! Learned so much on a block that I have trouble making! Your humor is wonderful! Thank you!
I think this is your best video! The frustration and humor are real. The drink at the end was the perfect touch!
Oh my gosh I enjoyed this video. You have gone so "professional" on us that I had forgotten why I started watching your videos in the first place. They were so human and real and yet, I learned so much. Thanks.
I agree! Have been watching since the beginning...I miss the at home feeling 😕, but I will always anxiously wait for the next video from Karen! I won't ever make it to the big time with fancy machines and cruises but she still makes one for us little people once in a while. She won't forget where she came from!
Omg! I’ve followed you for years and never seen this. Love it! 😜
I loved this video! Thanks for doing all that work. and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one ready to break out the liquor at the end of some sewing days, LOL!!!
Just loved this video;I had watched many of your newer videos first... FELL in love with this one. Your candor, humor and exasperation (at times) had me rolling in laughter. This was BRILLIANT & not dry like many of the other UA-cam quilting videos.
Stumbled on this video because I love economy blocks! You’ve made the best ever video on economy blocks. I’m gonna try one or both of your methods. I made a whole scrappy quilt by just cutting and sewing. Thanks!
This was so much fun to watch. How far your skills have come in five years!!
It's so fun to go back and see how far you've come in such a short time.
Still one of my favourites
Yup, it's official. You are so sweet. I wish we had a studio for quilters to meet and quilt. Yup my mum too was big on the lipstick!!! We "wuv" you Kawen!
Not sure how I managed to miss this one before, but it was very entertaining! You've come such a long way in the last 3 years! Thank you for continuing to give us great information and instruction.
Your humor is infectious!!! And great! Thanks. You have taught me so much...
just stumbled on this video, watched many others. oh how you make me laugh
When I lived in Waterloo, I used to see a lot of Mennonite Quilts using the "Economy Block" used in a multitude of sizes; from gigantic one block quilts, to tiny miniatures in framed mini-quilts.
These early videos are so funny and candid. Love seeing the "oops" moments!
I have watched this video several time!!! It is my favorite!
I loved this, after I got over the SHOCK of the work that goes into the economy block quilt. I may play with the fussy cut of the 2.5 block and see if I can master it. Then build up the courage to do an economy block quilt one day.
Go for it!
This is my all time favourite quilting video. You are a total scream and a natural. Congratulations. 👍👍👍👍👍🤩🙋🏻♀️ but I would never be patient to follow all those steps. Now a scrappy one I would do. Then square up my blocks. 🤪
It’s my first 😊
I have been watching you for years, essentially from the beginning but it was so fun coming across this video again. You have come a long way baby!
Thank you 🤗
I love aatching your old videos you make so much effort to make it fun and make super funny close up of all what you present ...including funny parts ....your videos always make me laught
This was so much fun. I hadn't seen the freezer paper method before. I love fussy cutting and so many scraps that would lend themselves perfectly to this pattern.
The cocktail at the end was sooo worth it! I so enjoy your videos..
Lol. You are a hoot! I watched this one three times but stopped because I can’t wait to see others you have done. New to this madness but I’m learning so much from you and I’m thoroughly enjoying being entertained. Your brother would say “get some lipstick”! Ha ha ha
Thank you, UA-cam, for putting this gem in my algorithm this morning! 🥰
We all start somewhere
Hi Karen I have been following you for a couple of years and I came upon this video, I laughed and enjoyed watching you , Thank you for being you!!! :)
It’s crazy how it all started
Karen, Thank you for all your help. I find your tutorials informative, and easy to understand.
Two minute intro was a hoot and made my day. You are SEW stinkin’ fun! Oh, and helpful. Hoping you don’t ruin yourself and these videos by getting formal videography training....
Oh Karen! I watched this one waay back and loved it ! I just came across it today and I think I enjoyed it more! Lol. I love how you are so down to earth and easy to understand not to mention entertaining! I really enjoyed the quilt blocks too
I really loved this video, you had me laughing and learning at the same time! You are a powerful educator and easy to learn from. Thank you. Have watched your interviews and your color theory videos. I was an art major years ago and you were spot on.
OMG, this video starts out so funny, and very real. I can only imagine the challenges of learning how to put these videos together. All the equipment looks expensive too. I love this block because the fussy cutting for the center of the block. Thank you for letting us know at the end which size was the easiest with which method. I am excited to try all of them. I've never done paper piecing but you really made it look very easy.
OMG! I just watched this video and I have to say - I LOVE THE INTRO!!!! Thanks for the fun and quilting, too!
Glad you liked it!! It was my first 😎
I have watched this video (and been entertained) no less than 5 times...... Your start with a bang and I'm so very glad you did. To put it simply, I'm sure we'd be great friends! I ABSOLUTELY love you!! and my mother would have also told me to put some lipstick on!
You're so cute and beautiful! So glad you took the plunge and started making videos! I've learned so much the last couple of years from your tutorials!
Brilliant early video Karen. I got brave and just ‘started videoing’ one day, after seeing vlogs that said, don’t wait for ‘perfect’ you will put it off for ever. So, like your motto, I Just Got it Done! Even though I had watched lots of your quilting videos it’s taken me ten months to ‘have a go’ at that. Now I’m hooked. Your teaching style really fits the way I learn. So grateful to you for your skills and naturalness! ❤️
Thank you. I know this is a couple of years old but I so enjoyed this video. I'm pretty new to quilting and this video was refreshing as well as inspiring. Again, Thank you.
pythagorean theorem! Karen - I am still going through your videos. This one made me smile and laugh. And, your blocks are beautiful.
I’ve watched you for quite a while, but somehow overlooked this video. This is hilarious. Very informative, thank you.
My first
I love this early video of yours, so much info and the lightness and fun you exude in your video. Highly entertaining and enjoyable. Thank you.
Thank you for all of your informational videos to help aspiring quilters, like myself, improve their skills.... I appreciate the time you're taking to teach us! You're a great teacher!
I enjoy watching your videos so much. Lots of greetings from Germany
You are one of my most favourite people in the world ❤️ I love your attitude, sense of humour, and the real-ness of your videos! I feel like I’m there with you walking your dog and talking about squares! Haha
This has got to be one of my all time FAVORITE videos ... not for the subject matter ... but for the filming/editing (and the music). Really loved it. And I love that you aren't afraid to have fun. : )
My first effort...what a learning curve
You come SO FAR since you recorded this video! You GO GIRL! Quilting was the “COVID” craft I picked up. Wanted you to know, it was largely due to your early videos! You let all the pretense of perfection fall away allowing me to laugh and learn like a kid- fearless of failing. Happy with the mistakes bc I was failing FORWARD. THANK YOU.
Best tutorial on paper piecing I've seen! Other ones are just not as clear, so THANK clever you!
I've watched lots of your videos so it was really fun to find this one from back in the day! I loved it.
Oh, if only I’d seen this video a couple of years ago when I was making a lap quilt for my grandmother! It wasn’t a full economy block like you have here, but I still have nightmares about that central block with the four triangles. Sends a shudder through me just thinking about it. I have some freezer paper and a bunch of scraps already, so I may give that method a try!
Just happened on this tutorial…..love the style of video…..love you…..love the block (photocopied pattern for me)……great fun…..new subscriber
I think this is my favorite video you've made. I've laughed so much and simply enjoyed this video. You are a pro vlogger these days, but maybe make one of these every now and then. No one is perfect and it's great to see other people's frustrations and honest reviews of quilting methods. Great video.
I am a self taught quilter and have tried to understand paper piecing and it never made sense to me. This video has helped so much! Thank You!
This delightful video was how I first discovered you a while back! Such fun to watch it again! I feel like I “know“ you now, which made this video even more fun to rewatch. Plus, useful! Great job here, and on every video since, and you are a wonderful example for us all, in so many ways. All the best to you and your family.
This is probably my favorite video! I love your humor and that’s what makes this video one of my favorite #KarenBrown #justgetitdonequilts films. You are ready for the Cannes Film Festival!🎉
I just found your channel and I absolutely love you! I love your humor and not to mention all the great things you are teaching everyone. Thanks for making me laugh and my quilts so much better! Now I need to go back to my binge watching of your videos...🙂
Finally I know what a fussy cut is! I found your videos yesterday and have been binge watching. I've learned so much in 24 hours, thank you! Your presentation style is friendly, pragmatic and filled with humour, a wonderful experience for your viewers!
After watching many of your videos, I still love this one the best.
❤️❤️❤️
I love this video! I was feeling quite low this morning and then your newsletter came in and I clicked on the economy block and my day just go brighter! You are marvelous and you make people happy, please don't change your style; it is your STYLE that is so fresh and lovely.
Came to this video after many later ones, and I love it! So glad you share your knowledge and research with the rest of us. Thank you!!
I've watched all of your videos (I think) and this one is my favorite! Thank you so much for your valuable info, humor, and ability to inspire.
Hi Karen, I am deciding whether to go out and and spend the day with my husband on our wedding anniversary or stay in my pjs and watch more hilarious, entertaining, educational tutorials! I love the rawness and authenticity of your teaching. And not to mention just plain fun. Thank you. I plan to demonstrate paper piecing technique and use the your Economy Block Method 1 for a workshop in Fiji. Hope that it is ok with you.

Aww this was your first video!?! How amazing! What a journey! I’m so glad I found your channel, I have learned so much and my quilting has come so far.
I love that i stumbled on this video! I’ve been watching others by you and of course another search and voila! ♥️♥️♥️
Out of all the videos you've made, I think this one makes me chuckle the most!
Hi Karen. You put a smile on my face every time I watch your videos. You’re a good teacher. Loads of love and thanks for all you do.
Thank you
Chanced on this video whilst looking for something else to reinspire me - loved it - the presentation was great - easily understood and fun to watch - thanks for rejigging my mojo
I have folded origami since grade school. I still fold origami. Now that I am in my mid 60s, I'm starting to quilt. The line, "Think of it as Origami for quilters," made my heart happy! Thank you!
OMG Your mother and mine must sing from the same song sheet. If I had a nickel for everytime she told me get my lipstick on. She is 91 and I am over 65 but she still tells me! This is one of my favorite of your videos and I have watched them all sometimes two and three times.
LOL...I have used more lipstick in the past three years than all my previous years together
You make this all so fun! Love listening to you. I’d love to come sew with you, 😉
Quick story. Each time I hear seam ripper or thread ripper I remember teaching my daughter to sew. She could never remember the name so she called it ‘the mistake taker outer’. Always brings a smile for me.
Love it...thanks for sharing
Great video, You are amazing and intresting person to watch. I like working with freezer paper, you could print the pattern directly on the FP, it goes through the printer fine. I have not found the fabric leave the paper but as you say hot iron. Thank you for sharing, your videos are fun and full of great information.😀
I love watching this one!! I started my own channel because of you!! If we don’t try, we don’t get anywhere!! Lipstick...my mom says the same thing!
👍
This is my favorite of all your videos!!!!! Well done.
Oh my gosh, I love this video! I’m home with covid, day 3. I found your videos on UA-cam yesterday and have binged your channel, mostly recent videos. Then I found this video. You have brought huge smiles to my face! You are so real and honest. Thank you for sharing your talents and your journey! :)
I love your tutorials. You are a great teacher and have a lot of fun while doing your sewing
And your sewing room looks like mine ha ha
Love from down under 🇦🇺🇦🇺💕💕
I enjoy watching you. You make it look so easy. Very easy to follow along most of the time
You have inspired me to do an economy block quilt. I just got some gorgeous fabric with birds and I plant to do a lot of fussy cutting.
This video wins the award: The Funniest Quilting Video. Love it. Thank you from the “day we almost quit”. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💁🏻
I found freezer paper through Amazon that’s the same size as our regular paper so it’ll go right through the printer. I’ve cut out templates with my Cricut on it, ironed to shirts and then used 2 coats of fabric paint across it then ironed it onto the next 4 shirts and never had a issue with it staying on or not coming off. It was honestly a dream to work with and can I just tell you how much money I saved and made by not buying a screen printer set. I’m excited to try this block with my trusty old freezer paper that I’m sure has a different manufacturer than the stuff you buy in the store
I'm a new subscriber. This video was educational and very amusing. I love your personality. I've never made a quilt but hope to one day.
Just discovered you. Wow! It pays sometimes to just look for random topics. I love your tips. I would have never thought of them and would have continued doing everything the harder older way..eyeballing seam lines and cutting lines. Thanks so much.
Wow... this was my first video. Glad it helped
I love your tutorials. Don't change anything! Your real and your awesome. Your hilarious, entertaining and a wonderful teacher. I'm so glad I've found you. Keep up the great work.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching
I just love you videos! I live outside the US, right now. I miss all the availability of
fabrics back home. There is very limited availability where I am. I could order
thru Amazon but I pay double price after shipping and Customs.
You inspire me so much. I am now looking into bed sheets as a source of material.
Keep up the good work!
Gotta say I just loved this. I know how to make these and did some of each of these in my beginners class. I hated the paper piecing, not found of freezer paper. I'll take the pay attention and just do it method and have my drink after as well. Thanks again,you make this really fun and informative to watch.
Your videos always make my day, Karen. So much information and fun packed in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge amd your new learning with us
Just rewatched this video. So good! I enjoy all your videos anyway but this one is great.
What a great idea to pull tickets for someone to win a bunch of blocks!! I'll have to share this idea w my quilt guild!!
It's a lot of fun
I have now watched this video four times. I made my first foundation economy block yesterday. My biggest regret is that I didn’t rewatch this video before I started! It did do my heart good to know that my mistakes were similar to yours!
I loved your comment, "My mother would be saying, 'Put on some lipstick!'" It brought back memories of my beloved mother, who would have said the same thing!
Your videos are incredible! Thank you so much!
I’ve just discovered you during this pandemic. I think I love you. Thanks for your fantastic attitude. You’re fun to watch. Be well!
I loved this. I don’t paper piece but sew traditional. The thing is, I like a little larger top, like in flying geese. You had those 1/4” just up to the edge. Guess I will have to confirm. Thank you for your humor!!
