- Is there anything better than an animal with personality? Earlier this year, I had the absolute pleasure of taking John @ Art East Quilting Co’s class on pet portraits, and since that class I’ve been hooked on him, his classes, and his unique animal quilts. Today we are talking about his quilt story, and the inspiration behind his charismatic animal quilt patterns.

I hope you love this interview as much as I did. John is so fun and full or energy I just want to head to my sewing room and get stuff done. I can't wait for his sew-along to start.
This was just an exceptional interview. I was unaware of him as a designer and have just fallen in love with his quilts.
May I please make a request for the future. I had a real difficult time hearing him speak. When this happens with other you tubers I just click on the closed captioning to compensate. You did not have this available on this video. Could you please do this in future videos. Thank you.
I LOVE your interviews--you ask the best questions! John seems like he'd be a great quilty friend. I need to go look into his patterns and classes now!! Thank you for your hard work, Karen! You are so inspirational for quilters.
Thank you again for having me! I had a great time filming this with you and can’t wait to chat again!
Pats to Mando! 🐶

@@glendaburton5293
Thank you. I did. It said cc captions not available on this video. This happens occasionally. Maybe the you tuber has to turn them on on her side?
Thank you so much for introducing us to John. I waffled during the entire month of September and finally joined his trending quilt sew along. I am having lots of fun with this quilt.
I cant wait to see the next animal
His patterns are so stinking cute !!!!
I just adore this personable young man. He’s talented, funny and I enjoyed this interview immensely
I love him. His patterns are unique and he’s so vibrant and so young. It will be a pleasure following him for years to come on IG.
So very proud of my little brother. I am John's second older sister and crafty myself...but I could never do what he does! Can't wait to be able to hug him again!!!!
Love you sis!
I love crafty families…so hard to be so far away from each other
John’s quilts are just fabulous. As a pig collector for almost 50 years, I loved the Space Pigs!! 💗🥰🐷🛸
Space Bacon 🤣
Thank you Karen for another great interview! John was so much fun and I love his animal patterns! I really enjoyed his interview.
A showcase of your best interviewing skills: this was so natural, conversational and fun. You both seem to be enjoying yourselves a great deal. Thank you.
great ideas and thank you for introducing me to John East
Karen,
Nononononono,, No, NO!!
It was too short!! I could have listened to this chat for hours!
Seriously,, this went by way too quickly. What a lovely young man, so full of life! I may have to change my winter project to one of his quilts.
Thanks for all you have done and continue to do for us during these crazy time! You’ve been a godsend.
Love from Ohio
I love the quilt that is hanging up behind him
I loved the quilting talking- he's so involved and talkstive but modest and fun to listen you too;. bet he's great teacher too..and busy making modern doggies with designs - I'm gonna look him up!
Thank you!
Karen, I love the blouse your wearing & it blends in w/beautiful quilt on background. He's pretty amazing, not to have sewn, and to jump into quilts! I've sewn clothes for my daughter, kitchen items, doll clothes, but quilting frustrates me... my hand is so unsteady and it involves math! I believe it was a blessing for him to have not sewn other things before quilting!
Me too! Its one of the best blouses you have worn- yr hair, yr eyes and the blouse - best ever
John was so fun as a speaker. Can’t wait to check out his website, patterns, etc.
I don't know how you find these people! I love love love John's quilts! This was so awesome! 💕
🤗
What a great interview with John and his animal quilts. You've done it again Karen.
Thank you
So John is who designed the “Wonderful Woodlands” pattern…. I love that quilt pattern!! 💕 What a wonderful young man! He’s so very joyful. I really enjoyed watching the two of you together! Thanks for the fun! 😊
Oh my gosh, these designs are so cute. I'm definitely going to search for his patterns. He's wonderfully talented. I love his take on the animals.
Love him because he is a dachshund lover!
We love John! Even if he didn’t design REALLY groovy and happy quilts, he has the most glorious smile and easy laugh. But his eye is exceptional and his talent boundless. He’s a new fav! Just added him to my Instagram.
Thank you!!
How interesting to meet John and see his career develop.
I really enjoyed the conversation between you and John, an amazing young man! Thank you.
What a great interview.👍
love these interviews
Well, if you get to see John in the Meritimes, I hope you have a merry time there!
So lovely to watch 2 of my favourite people chat about quilting 💜💙 John, you always make me smile
🤗
Feeling is mutual!
John’s quilts make me smile. The playful humor is inspiring. I could totally see the mythical dogs on kids pajamas. Thank you for sharing... just realized the blocks style remind me of early computer games. Ha ha ha!
🤗
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this interview. It was such fun - just wonderful! Your interviews are the best. Thank you for sharing these wonderful people with us.
Always a fun and interesting interview to listen to while I hand quilt! Thank you for sharing and your efforts!
7 hours and already 5.2k of us have watched it! How cool you are. Cool and warm too 😉
Thanks Karen, your top looks very pretty on you. ❤ And now as always very interesting interview, great to hear from a man quilter and a Canadian. 🇨🇦💕
I make the label and put it on at the same time I am binding. Some times I even attach it on the corners as I attach the binding and hand stitch the other sides as I turn and sew down the binding. Thank you for interviewing a Canadian quilter. I really enjoyed listening and love his quilts.
Oh wow, what a wonderful guy, thanks for this Karen. And I can't believe he's lived in Halifax, when I was five we moved to Halifax with my family for a year from Athens, Greece. I have the best memories from that place, and from Canada in general, top country, top people ♥️
Beautiful part of the world
A great interview! I follow Emma Jones 🤗 she has inspired me to delve into EPP 🧵🪡
Love your new haircut, Karen!
I loved John's interview and I have signed up for his pet portrait virtual class. I also love Emma Jones. Can't wait.
You might have recommended Emma to me
A fabulous guy and great interview. Thank you.
Karen you have so much fun with those you interview John was interesting, easy to listen to and had fun speaking with you.
Also Karen that top looks lovely on you. Colour suits you. I’m planning another day tackling some of the Farmers W Q harder blocks. It is a challenge but I’m in lockdown in Sydney, Australia so what better time to concentrate on sewing. Happy sewing Karen 💕
Thank you Karen for this great series! I have enjoyed learning about so many things and being exposed to many new quilters. I absolutely love the pet portraits and will be looking into these classes as well as so many of these patterns. Art East Co., you have a new follower! ❤️😊
Thank you & welcome!
Such a joyful interview!!
I love this. I have a dachshund. I will be looking at his website. Thank you! I do a counted x-stitch tag for all my give a way quilts. I made 2 quilts for my son's step-children. We had discussed what kind of quilt and pattern. I named both quilts and labeled them in Memory of him as I finished them after he passed away. Ethan's Ocean Breeze and Ethan's Midnight Star.
Karen, Thank you for bringing these interviews on. Love them. John is fun and so full of energy. Going to his website now. Love the Goats in PJs 😂. Bless you both.
What an excellent interview and what an infectious laugh John has😃 I did the Wonderful Woodland QAL and,apparently, only one of two who took part from the UK. I’ve also made a Goats in pyjamas quilt for Project Linus. They’re such well-written patterns it would be hard to go wrong.
Would love to have you again!
Karen, that you for keeping me abreast of quilting talents. Another great interview!
Great interview. I wasn’t familiar with this designer and now I’m in love with his quirkiness!!! I’ll be signing up for his sew alongs!
Amen! I’ve intermittently sewn since I was 12 years old, but during last year’s lockdown, I couldn’t stay in my home one more day without going nutty, so I signed up for a quilt class-spur of the moment. At 52, it was time to learn the “proper” technique to sew some specific things.
The day before the class started, I went to the shop for my fabric, and any random supplies I had not accumulated over the years, and wound up spending $120 on fabric for my first go. I then realized I didn’t LIKE how some of the fabrics played together, and long story short, I bet I have $300+ into JUST the fabric. 🤣.
I DEFINITELY made the “fabric choices” mistake, and if I’m being honest? When I quilt now, i read the pattern from start to finish multiple times. I also start with the base fabrics using Your lessons on color and value. I think Your trick to use a black and white phone pic has been the SINGLE MOST HELPFUL TIP I’ve ever gotten. It has visually balanced my projects.
I love your channel, and have been with you from almost the very start. Thank you for spreading a smile and experience in the quilting world. ❤️
I am so happy to hear that my videos have helped. It's amazing how much fabric we can accumulate before we figure out how to use it. It often feels like a moving target.
Enjoyed the interview. So proud of John, our grandson. I sewed and made quilts for years and love his style of quilting. The kit is so easy to follow.
Thanks Nan! ❤️
It takes a village…you helped raise a good one
Enjoyed this so much. Love the quilt behind you. And a new puppy!!!plus I love how you coordinated your jewel top with your work of art.. the colors you are wearing make your skin sing!
I thought the same of her blouse too. Lol
Just love all that you share with us!❤️
Wonderful interview. Loved the post and all of Johns quilts. Thank You!
He has a wonderful laugh! What a delightful person, so upbeat.
That laugh runs in the family! 😅
His quilts are amazing! Enjoyed listening to this tonight! What Fun!! I checked out his website too. Thanks Karen for interviewing so many talented people.
Thanks for an energetic and entertaining interview!
Sew excited. Signed up for his trending sew along. Should be super fun
Welcome aboard!!
What a great interview! Really enjoyed being introduced to John and will definitely be checking out his website etc. Pretty sure there’s a Woodland quilt in my future ❤️🇨🇦
Love love love this interview! I've been muddling through designing a pet portrait quilt...lol and can't wait to sign up for some of the classes they offer, in fall. I also love how positive and happy John and his patterns are! I'm an over the top furbaby mom, so I love all things pets and animals! Karen, your interviews continue to impress and you have a gift for putting your guests at ease, yet the pace if perfect and always so informative!! I've been away from quilting due to my better halfs' health and this was a great/fun way to return to quilting!
His energy definitely lightens your day 🤗
There’s no better way to be a fur baby mom than over the top! I’m thrilled you liked the interview 😀
Absolutely adorable, his quilts with animals !
Thank you for this amazing interview! I have not heard about John before and love those quilt patterns!
Especially the part, where you talked about the community getting closer during covid, is something I totally agree with.
I live in a part of Germany, where quilters are very scarce and the "local" quilt shop is a 2 hour drive away. Live classes made it possible for me to join others, learn something new and exchange ideas. It was a really great experience!
Label the quilt as part of the binding (like a folded over corner piece). That's simple and when it's bound it's also labeled!
This is exciting! I love pets and quilts
This was an excellent interview. Thanks Karen
I loved this interview the animal 🦔 quilts are soooooo cute 👍👏🐶🦊🐨🐮🐷talented young man
Those animal quilts are fantastic!
I love this so much. He is as happy to watch and listen to as you are Karen. I can't wait to check out his patterns. 👍
That is a BIG compliment! 🤗
Hi Karen! I see you from Seville in Spain. I love quilting and at the same time, I need practice English. I really enjoyed the interview with John from Sydney. I'm learning so much since I'm watching yours videos. Thank you so much. Ángeles 🧵🪡
Wonderful talent
Loved it Karen….Thanks ….
I enjoyed this interview. Love his patterns.
Thank you for such a lovely interview, now to go check out John's web site.
Awesome, I enjoyed meeting a new inspiration 🤩
Oh my gosh love this interview..so want to get his Patterns. Especially the doixes..I have one and so want that pattern. Thank you for sharing
What a great interview and such enthusiasm, I could have listened all day . I wondered if he longarms them himself?? Checking out his patterns !
I have machine quilted all my quilts (so far) myself. :)
Great show !! I definitely want to follow John and his fun patterns 👍😍
Yes, I loved it!! Thank you for bringing it to us. Can't wait to check him out, as I've had many animals I've adored as well and done memory shadowbox , etc with, but a quilt makes perfect sense for this fanatic quilter too! Lol
Maybe I can get all my babies into one throw quilt. And to have that quirky take on it would be great. Thanks again! 😃
Great idea!
That would be one epic quilt!
thanks Karen - really loved this interview - and I just bought three of his patterns as I was listening - nice to see a new Canadian quilt pattern designer!
They are such fun. Enjoy
Thank you! Happy sewing!
Delightful chat.
That was so fun to listen in on
What a delightful interview x
So much fun. I have to have the goats! I know about tools. I have the very first pair of fabric scissors from home ec at age 13 - 63 years ago
Those scissors are family, never let them go! 😂
Goats in Pajamas has been on my wishlist for a long time and now I have more patterns that I want. Plus, if I didn't have a conflict with the pet portrait class in September, I would have signed up already. I guess I'll just have to wait. In other words, thank you for this video. :) Love John's creative spirit.
I embroider my labels. I make it on several blocks I use on the after quilt.
You look extra pretty today Karen!
Great interview! I have the goat pattern - looking forward to getting to it.
It’s so cute
I signed up for his QAL while watching the interview!
🤚 see you in the LIVE
Welcome to the fun!
Really enjoyed this interview thanks!
Such a wonderful inspiring interview. He has so much to offer and I am looking forward to seeing what he brings.
I am also looking at signing up for the sew a long 😂
Thanks for another wonderful interview
Would love to have you, Carol!
Karen, have you talked about the quilt behind you in previous video? I love it! Would love to hear more about it.
Farmers Wife 1920 quilt
Great interview, like all your others🤗 thanks👏
Label those quilts. It is about documenting the time and circumstances. One I made from all
Blue scraps in my stash without buying anything , on a challenge from my sister. So I wrote about that on the label. It’s sew easy- I iron a white or cream scrap with a little sizing so it’s crisp, or iron onto freezer paper. I hand write on the fabric with a pigma permanent pen. Then I frame around that piece with narrow strips log cabin style, and press the raw edges under neatly. And hand sew it in the corner. Takes me about 30 minutes. Lately, I’ve found an even quicker method. I cut a square and press it in half on the diagonal. I write on the triangle and stitch the raw edges into a corner of the binding
Oh! Heat set your writing with a hot iron before sewing it on.
That triangle idea is genius!
Great interview! Thanks!
There are two very beautiful books on Trapunto that I highly recommend, Quilts of Provence and Boutis un objet blanc (Kumiko Nakayama-Geraerts.
I'll check them out
When I visited Angela Walters in May 2019, the featured quilt in her store was Goats in Pajamas. I bought the pattern, not realizing it was designed by a fellow Canadian.
I was so stoked when her shop reached out to carry that pattern! ❤️
A fun interview with John. His patterns look so cute. Especially goats in pyjamas. Are the blocks pieced, applique, FPP or a combination.👍🇦🇺
Thank you! All my patterns are traditionally pieced. My pet portraits are raw-edge appliqué.
@@JohnArtEast thank you. I must check them out.👍🇦🇺
After I retired, I was ask to join the only quilt guild we have in our county. I attended three meeting that I left depressed and crying (because one woman was so very rude to me). I gave up on being accepted into that quilt guild. I'm a loner; and, I'm not the only one who is a loner because of that guilt guild.
I like my time alone sewing but I learned a lot from all the women I met at the guild I was in. There was one woman who I had to tell to leave me alone and don't talk to me. She bothered everyone and gave the room a negative energy. I was the only one who had the nerve to tell her that. She left, everyone was happy. You should go back.
My first quilt was a queen sized roman stripe; machine pieced and hand quilted 😱
You gotta just jump in! 😂
Very interesting interview!
You look like you could be related! Enjoying the chat!
👯
☕️🌍😷👍🇦🇺very enjoyable
I am so delighted to find that the only outlet in California is nearby in the wonderful, historic town of San Juan Bautista. It is on the route from my house to visit the relatives. Will have to allow some time to have some excellent Mexican food at Los Jardines and stop at the historic bakery.
