- In the 21st century, beginner quilters are turning to the internet to learn quilting techniques and easy patterns for their first quilts.

It feels like a full circle moment to be speaking to her today as we talk about changes to the quilting world, and her UA-cam journey.

Happy Monday everyone. Today I am interviewing Kimberly Jolly, the amazing owner of the Fat Quarter Shop. If you have ever watched her videos, you'll know that she works hard to show you fabric designers and their new lines and projects as well as her own patterns and special projects. So grab your sewing, a cup of tea, and sit back and enjoy.
I just love Kimberly Jolly and everything she does! I am a big fan of It's Sew Emma and the Fat Quarter Shop. ☺️
I like Kimberly very much. So sad that the materials are very difficult to buy in the Netherlands.
Big fan of fat quarter shop, Kimberly and the crew. Thank you.
Kimberly Jolly is special in the quilting world. My first experience with an online order was purchasing a quilt pattern from Fat Quarter Shop. Shortly after purchasing, I received a call from her letting me know she had refunded the $5.95 shipping cost, since it was a 1-page paper pattern going in a regular envelope. I appreciate that kind of business owner, who would rather lose a dollar in shipping, but gain a relationship and lifelong customer. Like I said, Kimberly Jolly is special in the quilting world.
What a great interview! Hearing how Kimberly and her husband have kept the business going during covid was eye opening. We really need to support small businesses so they can continue in our new normal world.
What a lovely lady! Her honesty all over the place about everything is so refreshing. Thanks so much to both of you!
Karen and Kimberly interacted beautifully, great interview… so happy to be part of this community…
I just watched this now. Your and Kimberly’s videos are my favourite videos to watch about quilting! I have learned so many new tricks and tips from both of you two and my quilting has improved so much even at 71 lol!!!
Kimberly gave is a behind the scenes business. It looks so smooth and easy to viewers. Looks like a lot of hard work with stress.
I love Fat Quarter Shop & Kimberly Jolly! Thank you for the interview. I LOVE YOU TOO!!
I thought it was one of the best interviews to date. Kimberly is so down to earth and interesting. She may be an introvert but she has a great presence and I enjoy all her shows and demonstrations.
I love the fact she admits to being an introvert, I like her honesty. I'm an introvert too, so it's easy to relate to her.
UA-cam has been my quilt guild! You both are the powerhouse women from whom I have learned the most. Thank you!!!!
I love the fact that she's an introvert. I have to laugh about the fact that owning your own business is the same no matter where you are. If the kids are big enough, they're slave labor, and if they aren't -- well, no, just no, don't touch, off you go. Been there, still doing that. I also love the fact that pre-cut fabric is now a thing. I spent so much time, as a teen trimming down squares with a cardboard template and scissors, only to find that when I was done, not only were all the pieces a different size, but the template was no longer square or it's original size. Thank you for this video.
I found Kimberly and her business one day last summer when my new dog stole a small bag of thread that was sorted for a cross stitch project. I couldn't find it and the kit was old, but I searched online and there was Fat Quarter Shop and they had my thread. I ordered it and then noticed that this was also a wonderful online quilt shop. The rest is history. I have purchased enough fabric to have a wonderful assortment to use in my many quilt projects. Thanks to Kimberly, I have pieced several tops, learned to sandwich my quilts, and now I have a new Bernina Tula Pink 570 machine just for quilting and embroidering on my quilts. There has never been anyone like Kimberly in the business. She's a fresh and friendly face and as down-to-earth as anyone could be. "You do you" is her standard saying and she means it. Use scraps, use favorite fabrics, use whatever you have to make quilts. She is a great teacher and I appreciate everything about her. I also love Just Get it Done. When I started quilting, I found your videos and I watch them with great interest. Your ideas are spot on and so helpful to a new quilter. Thanks to the both of you for all your time and experience in this wonderful hobby!
Thanks Karen for giving us the interview with Angie the Gnome Angel. What a delightful woman, I had so much fun listening to you both. Churn Dash blocks! Hilarious! You are both so down to earth and I can relate to your learning curves. I so often think I have to do something perfectly the first time and I can be very hard on myself. You make me realize quilting is fun and getting it done takes away a lot of the doubts you have when you are in the middle of making it. Thank you both for your lovely interview!
I like how she said" it just not me and its my "team". You don't hear enough of owners saying my team.
Congrats on getting a super star of the quilt world on your show. Great interview.
Love Fat Quarter Shop and Kimberly, great customer service, Kimberly is a very nice lady and love the UA-cam channel.
Karen, I am very impressed with your interviewing skill; so professional and asking questions that really get to the heart of your subject. Kimberly is a great interview, too. This, in my opinion, has been your best interview to date. Keep up the good work!
My two favorite people all at once! Thank you so much!
Whoooooo!!! Kimberly!!!💖 FQS is the BEST!
Kimberly you are so adorable. I love hearing the behind the seems of what’s going on with your business.
2 Steller Women. Love you both with what you give. Thank You.
Thank you once again for such an informative program; can everyone please pray for all the people affected by the extreme flooding down the east coast of Australia where some places have had well over a meter of rain with more forcast, worse floods for 100 years.🙏💞
She was talking about quilting before pre-cuts etc. I sewed my first quilt in about 1975. I remember it had a lot of triangles & flying geese. No rotary cutters, no chain piecing. I cut out all of the little triangles one by one and sewed them (by hand, as I didn't have a machine yet). Talk about changes! Thank you, Karen.
I was the same 😁🇦🇺
My first quilt was tearing the fabric into strips for an Elanor Burns Quilt in a Day!
Y'all are wonderful!!! My craft wouldn't be what it is without both of you. We are human and making mistakes confirms that we are human. 😍. I wouldn't want to watch a robot that is perfect. Thank you for all that you do!!!💕
I love this! Two amazing women, I have learned so much from you both. Thanks for this.
So glad you had Kimberly on today, she's another one of my favorite people...
Love watching Kimberly. She shows exactly how she approaches patterns. It gives me new ways to look at patterns.
The Jelly Roll Jam video was one of the first three videos I watched to get me going making quilts. I had watched your color values video, then Jordan Fabrics Tea Time, (which is the first pattern I made) and then I watched Kimberly’s jelly roll jam video. You three are still my go-tos when watching quilting videos.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful interview. I love FQS and watching Kimberly Jolly on her Friday morning lives. I am a member and follow some of the quilt alongs. FQS is so giving and kind and great customer service too. Be safe and stay healthy.
Both of you ladies bring such joy and delight to my life and teach me "sew" much ❤
The Fat Quarter Shop is wonderful. I always feel such love and appreciation when I make purchases. 💝
Hi Karen ,I have been following you for a while and love your videos ,Im Toronto born and raised ,now living in Sicily. I have learned so much from your vids ,so a big big GRAZIE Mille . Great interveiw .
Kimberley is very genuine and truly wants to be an innovator in the quilting world. The FQS is on top of fabric lines and notions, and are real encouragers to others. They get most of my quilting dollars because of their offerings and great customer service. Thanks for this great interview!
Great interview, Karen. Kimberly is such a nice person, and I think is funny. Her livestreams are great, and her kids sometimes will chat with people watching. Customer service from Fat Quarter Shop is outstanding.
I enjoyed your interview very much! I follow both of you on YT and watch most of the videos. Kimberly always seems to be such a perfectionist, but she is really a down-to-earth person! I am very inspired by both of you lovely, creative ladies!
Kimberly has done so much with the quilting world as well as cross stitch, she is such a genuine person
I love your UA-cam channel. That was a great interview Karen. Plus it provided a opportunity for me to learn more about Kimberly and give me perspective on the challenges of businesses like hers. I have great respect for the work you both do.
This is a great interview! So lovely to listen to Kimberly talk about her journey and her life. Great questions.
Kimberly amazes me! My favorite go to shop! Great interview!!
I am a beginning quilter. Thank goodness for UA-cam. Thank goodness for Kimberly . I'm following her beginner quilt series. Her tutorials are clear, instructive, and free. The downloadable instruction sheets are better than any quilting book I've looked at. Thank you to Kimberly & Karen and the quilting community for sharing your knowledge and skills.
Thank you Karen. I got called back into work (I work in Healthcare). It's so strange everyone is asking what I'm working on and I have to say nothing. I'm working 24/7 with 2 nights off. It's strange not to be in the middle of a quilt. So thank you for your videos to keep me going. I have to catch your last video on the life of a scrap... I have scraps. lol. I asked my husband if we have adding machine tape. lol. We used to have so many rolls. Thanks for your hard work doing you tube. 💕
I have enough rolls to make at least 20 quilts
Fat Quarter Shop is the channel I relied on for my first quilt. In 2016, took a watercolor class and everyone else in the class talked about their quilting. I realized I was going to suck at watercolor, but I knew I could sew. I pulled out my old Janome that I had purchased in the base exchange at Kadena Air Base back in 1977. I went to a quilt store and bought a Christmas jelly roll. I found the Fat Quarter Shop on line, down loaded the Jelly Roll Jam pattern, and on Thanksgiving Day while my turkey cooked, I sewed a quilt top. I loved it and haven't stopped since. Many patterns and fabric from Fat Quarter Shop!!!
I loved Kimberly's comment that when the camera turns on, your vocabulary goes away. Been there, experienced that! LOL! This was a great interview.
What a lovely interview! Thank you so much! Karen
I missed this one and I have so enjoyed it. Kimberly seems very like me. I hate change and get names wrong too. I love all the videos and if there is a mistake: Who cares? I certainly don't.
Hi Karen & Kimberly this is such a Amazing interview and yes I most definitely will be making mistakes for sure 🤣🤣🤣
Always love listening too any advice from you Karen & now also You too Kimberly nice meeting you both 😊😊😊😊😊🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐣🐥🐣🐥🐣🐥xxxx
Thank you Karen. Your interviews never disappoint!
It was so nice to listen to Kimberly being interviewed. She is so adorable and such a down to earth, kind person. This is probably one of the reasons Fat Quarter Shop is so successful. The wonderful service they provide along with their awesome customer service, is no doubt another. Thanks for the great interview!
Great video with Kimberly Jolly. Thank you both.
Y’all are terrific and generous in sharing your expertise. Enjoyed this interview; also enjoy your series of guests, Karen. I’ve been a subscriber since the Dollar Store Hacks vids. And I watch Kimberly each week. Thank you for being quality company and creating authentic community.❤️
Thank you for your support 🤗
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts "Quality company ... creating authentic community" well said!
I love you both, if something goes wrong no big deal things happen. No one is perfect and things can happen. Just laugh and enjoy. Don't stress it. You both always seem so cool. Just relax. Hugs. Your only human. You are so right Kimberly make a joke and go with the flow. We love you.
Thanks, Karen. I enjoyed the interview. Your videos are always fun and informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a sweet interview with you two rockstars! Thanks for being so "real" and for all you both do to make quilting so much fun!
I appreciate all of the time spent making videos for us.
Love your sweater Kimberly! Very flattering!
Keep it up ladies!!! You both bring inspiration, and dedication into my life! What a joy it is to see you both on this interview!
Oh Happy Day! Hearing two of my favorite quilting people visiting! Thanks for the chat.
Same!!
I agree! Thanks so much to you both. 💙
Me too!! Great interview with Great Ladies!
Karen, thanks for being such a great interviewer. It is a real skill that most people do not understand. I notice it because I used to be a newspaper reporter and a talk show producer and cohost.
thank you
You are a great interviewer, Karen!! Kimberly was so relaxed talking to you, I loved watching this behind the scenes look at Fat Quarter Shop. My start to quilting is totally due to FQS and your channel… and Covid lock down!!!😂😂😂
Love how Kimberly is always thinking about giving back to the community. I admire not only her hard work but also her generosity. 💖💖
Karen I absolutely love your videos. This is my favorite interview. I love them all but, this was my favorite because I like the Fat Quarter Shop. I have learned so much from you. Your are a blessing. God bless you and your family from the sate of Wyoming.
How wonderful to hear from Kimberly Jolly!!! Thanks for bringing us this interview!! ✂️🧵❤️
So glad you had Kimberly on your show. I love her and watch her every Friday. Thank you for a great interview.
OMG! My two most favorite UA-cam channel hosts! I’m in heaven!
Love watching Kimberly! I have learned so much from her!
I am SO enjoying y'all's chat!! Especially about being on camera and making oops. LOL I'm glad she's got a great sense of humor. Lol
This is the first time watching y'all! I in Central Texas near Killeen in Copperas Cove!
Wow! My two Must Watch ladies!! You are both totally inspiring!
Very nice, interesting interview. I like Kimberly Jolly because she is herself.
Hi Karen, All of your interviews are so interesting. I have learned a lot and enjoyed hearing about all the things that go into quilting, and YouTubing, and all the other things you touch on. Thank You for taking the time to find all these unique people.
Serendity is a beautiful Quilt. I discovered her more nowadays
and its a great show Thank you, Kimberly Jolly. i appreciate your hard work and love bring the quilting for us
Karen, you are a wonderful interviewer, this was a great vid. My seamstress grandmother taught me how to sew when I was young. I hadn’t sewn for many years until last year when I decided to make masks which lead to repairing an old quilt she had made. I found Kimberly online and have learned so much from her, she has a very honest delivery. My UA-cam feed is all about quilts and I now sew along with Fat Quarter Shop. Thank you for the videos!
Brilliant interview you are done amazing xx
I absolutely loved your interview with Kimberly Jolly. It is so interesting to see per explain her business. Thanks
I'm in my 2nd year quilting and Kimberly, Pat Sloan, and you have been my go to so this was very much enjoyed! Your interviewing skills are great with good choice in questions as well. Now I need Kimberly to interview you.
When I started quilting this year, I watched almost everything out there from both Just Get It done Quilts and Fat Quarter Shop. Both of these ladies were so helpful with really viewable and enjoyable videos to help you get started and excited about this wonderful art. Thanks for the fun chat!
Wonderful interview. I love the Fat Quarter Shop.
It was fantastic to see how the changes happened. Kimberley has just done a wonderful job.
Thanks for sharing this interview. I have found Kimberly so down to earth. Not many business people admit that they don't know something, but she is so open and honest with her customers and listeners. I do enjoy her videos and have learned so much for her. She is a real gem and so are you! Thanks again to both of you!
Great interview. I enjoy Kimberly's videos.So helpful and real. She makes some mistakes and that helps us all learn! I really appreciate all the free patterns and sew-a-longs at the Fat Quarter Shop.
Great interview! Kimberly is one of my favorite people in the quilting industry! The Fat Quarter Shop has wonderful customer service and she has a great team that helps her produce all the LIVE streams and tutorials they produce. Thank you for all these interesting interviews !
Great interview. I enjoy watching Kimberly Jolly!
great visit with Kimberly. Your questions are great- interesting to know a bit of behind the scenes of videos and business. I am so happy that my local quilt shop is thriving right now - even hired more employees! I hope the quilting trend stays with us post-isolation. Thanks so much!
Karen and Kimberly -- my two favorites! Great interview! Thank you!
Thanks for this interview! I love Kimberly Jolly.
I LOVE your Karen's Quilt Circle interviews!
I've gravitated more to FQS in 2020 because they have been able to stay relevant in such a time of change and continue to deliver on so many products and projects that continue to inspire my quilting experience. Thanks, Karen, for yet another great video!
Another wonderful video. Thanks.
I loved watching the interview with Kimberly Jolly. I love their business. I'm glad she is doing live streams, etc...
Your interviews and guests are awesome. But I have to say - this one is the best one yet. So inspiring - listening to Kimberly just motivates me to continue making my charity quilts - my way of helping others. She is very easy to listen to. Love that she is an introvert running a very successful business and truly wants to focus on customer service.
Karen, what a fantastic interview! You ask great thoughtful questions & Kimberly seemed comfortable with you. Loved watching this one!
I retired 4 years ago. I’ve always been a garment sewist but wanted to learn quilting. No one in my family or near near me is a quilter so I didn’t know how to get started. But in July if 2020 I found Kimberly Jolly and the Fat quarter shop. My first quilt was Jelly Snowflake. Now I have made 8 quilts and three table runners. None of this would have been possible for me with out Kimberly Jolly. Thank you Kimberly Jolly and Fat Quarter Shop!!!! I love y’all so much!
I never did any sewing and like you don't know anyone who quilts. Being self-taught I appreciate Karen, Kimberly and Donna Jordan for their generosity.
Oh My Goodness Karen, what a great interview ❤️🥰❤️ I admire Kimberly Jolly and watching this video was fun. I have learned so much from both of you that has improved my quilting skills and I Thank You Both. Best Wishes to Both You and Kimberly 💖👏💖🥰 Chris-Raleigh NC
Great interview and video, Karen. Thank you!
I love her! So like me, I like that she admits she doesn't know what to do with modern. I love that she is gaining confidence as her business grows.
Yes. Love your patterns. They are easy to read and follow. I have a problem with other patterns. So love FQS.
Kimberly Jolly and Jenny Doan, both taught me how to quilt, and they are still teaching me😁, and I´m in Germany, so you can see the wide spread both ladies have and how big they are in the quilting world! Not to talk about the possibility to shop in their wonderful online stores! Simply wonderful and I´m very grateful for all their generous way of sharing knowledge, I wouldn't have learned anything about quilting without them! Best wishes from Germany and you all stay safe and sound!
Thanks Karen for another stellar interview!!
Enjoyed this interview very much!! Kimberley is adorable, keep up the great work.
Wonderful interview. I’ve recently been watching Kimberly on You Tube and was pleased to see you had interviewed her over a year ago. It was interesting to hear her talk about her business and how it has changed.
An excellent interview --- it was like we were sitting in a living room, having a friendly, but oh so informational conversation. It gave me a whole new perspective on running an online business, doing videos, anticipating what lies ahead in the quilting life. ...and, oh yes, wife and mother, too! Thanks, Karen. ---one of your best :-)
Aww, what a lovely story, when she was passing quilt stores and 'got curious'.
There were no 'quilt stores' yet when I made my first quilt. There weren't Walmarts (that I know of) in Ohio either. My first quilt came from left over fabric from clothing I made during college and the legs of jeans I cut off for the summer. In 1980, I could walk to the rear of the apartment complex where I was living during college, follow some trails thru a wooded area and come out on Morse Rd in Columbus Ohio. There was a Kmart! :) (where there hadn't YET been any in my hometown in NW Ohio) I'd watched my grandmother piece a few quilts over the years and I assumed I'm make one someday too.
I thought big city living was something! Walking to the store to buy the fabric for my clothing! Fast forward to 1984, I had my first job after college. I couldn't yet afford cable TV and it was the first time ever, during my life, I didn't have to work on Saturdays, so I tuned my TV to PBS (Cause there's nothing good on the 3 normal stations on weekends) and saw a woman making a quilt!
That's when pulled out that box of left over clothing fabric and made a quilt! (I used half inch seams, shhh, don't tell any one. I know they said quarter inch on tv, but I didn't think that was enough). I'm glad I did tho all that denim wanted to fray. I still have that quilt (30 + years) but its in tatters . . . I can't count the number I've made since then. :)
Two of my favorite UA-camrs. So enjoyed your visit with Kimberly.
Enjoyed this conversation. I love hearing about small businesses that started small. And, of course, the quilts. 😍
