Joe, you are a wonderful story-teller! I shared this with both my husband and son, separately, reserved my comments, and waited for their responses. They both laughed out loud! I did too, noticing the familiarity of your experience! Kudos to you for taking a chance and opening up a whole lot of good!

cool story, bro. 🥰

Beautiful and inspirational as I was started my first Kawandi project while listening to this youtube for a sound background. I'm 72 and have been evolving over the last 8 or 9 months of working with textiles, embroidery, sashiko, slow stitching,etc after a 40 year hiatus. I loved Margaret's incorporation of a necktie in her work....I wondered why my husband has saved all of his ties...well...I always jump ahead in thinking and imagining...but it's important to DO and take my luxurious time and let the art unfold with all of it's surprises and allow the critical part of my mind be silent.

if it's a watercolour, try and put it in a place away from natural light, otherwise it will fade

We have lost a bit of trust....thank you for the wonderful story

Love it! Love the painting, love the story. And that’s my favorite one of your quilts ❤

I really like the red and gold sticks quilt in wool behind you.

Our neighbors help each other. We are different races, religion, and work history. We share produce from the garden, monitor a live trap, plow snow in winter. I believe in the good of people. Good for you for believing. We change the world believing in goodness and joy.

Beautiful story. Restores my faith in humanity.

I’m from Aurora, IL. Can you share the name of the art teacher, watercolorist.? Looks like Downer St.?

I love the painting. I didn't think it was a scam. Not enough money was involved for a scammer 😊

Great story. I wonder if it's been hammered into women about being wary of scams.

What a delightful story! The painting is lovely -- reminds me of the kind of house I grew up in back in southwestern Quebec. And yes, I hope it restores Carol's faith in humanity -- at least a litte!

Wow. That’s so nice. Thanks for a story with a happy ending.

Thank you for sharing this story Joe. We're so inundated with scams that sometimes we loose faith in humanity. This is a lesson for all of us, to remember that there are many wonderful people. We just need to be careful. Thanks again!

Nice story Joe!

Wow! I love her watercolors so much! They’re really lovely, what a story! I’m glad it turned out that way 💕

Wow I would have gone for it I didn’t think it was scam. Beautiful painting!😊

Joe I love that painting! It is utterly charming. So glad it made its way back to family, and in such a lovely, kindly way.

Amazing article! Thanks for this presentation.

I like this very much. Also your quilts are just amazing

Thank you so much for piecing together thus enlightening video. I love that in wach of the separate clips Margaret was wearing different clothes with a different quilt in the back ground. My quilt making is very much like jazz -I struggle with traditional patterns and use found scraps. I feel validated , comforted and inspired. Bless you both . ❤ Annie from the misty mountains of Snowdonia Wales, UK xxx

Love this Joe! You're the best. You make it short, sweet and to the point. Brilliant! I so appreciate you sharing this method! I'm off to do it right now. Thanks so much.

7:56 What a wonderful finish. I have just completed a hexagon English paper piece quilt and was struggling with how to complete the edges as I didn’t want to compromise the pattern. I will use the facing technique which you demonstrated beautifully.

I too, just found you through Kate! Joe, will you show us more of your quilts? I really like the one in this video but didn’t see enough of it. Thanks!

Brilliant way of facing the quilt prefer it to binding

Beautiful! Thank you!

Your project turned out so well. Love the colors and layout. What an honor it is for you to have an exhibit at the museum too. Great work!

What a pleasure to see the final outcome! What an accomplishment!! BRAVO ❤

Introducing summer vacationers to contemporary quilting in a modern world. I better their will be a lot of selfies on instagram! Congratulations on the show. New to your channel from Kate at The Last Homely House. Look forward to catching up on back reports!

What an incredible challenge! It came together so well! Thank you for sharing such a huge and striking accomplishment!

This is so cool! Congratulations to you and your team to get this huge challenge done on time. Your show looks amazing. I can't be there for your lecture, but I am sending my daughter who lives in Boston. Looking forward to being in your class at QBL in a couple of weeks. I am so inspired now!

What a great opportunity. Looks like a lot of hard work and deep satisfaction. Good job Joe and crew.

The house looks awesome.

Great stuff Joe

Dude.? Well done.!! Congrats.! What’s next…??

Wow, what an undertaking. Congratulations to you and your staff. Beautiful outside and beautiful quilts inside.

What an amazing job you all did. I can’t imagine how exhausted you must have been. I think the museum will have a busy summer. I’ll have to look and see if they post a walk through show the quilts.

Looks amazing, well done.

Joyful and magical collaborative effort on the outside, beautiful collection of work on the inside! Congratulations!

Amazing. Both the building wrapped and your quilts. Thank you for sharing.

Looks beautiful. Can't wait to see it.

Congratulations, Joe! Everything looks amazing.

Congratulations Joe! A very well done humongous and beautiful job!

OMG WOW, Joe it looks wonderful.

Wow! Hats off to you and your gargantuan project that turned out beautifully! Obviously, as large and difficult as the task of wrapping the museum was, you sailed through it! Congratulations!!

Congratulations Joe on both the show and the installation!! Would it be possible for you to photo/vlog the show and the placards beside each quilt (which are beautiful btw)? Or, is there a book available on yours and Julie's exhibitions?

Fabulous and amazing! What fun... congrats!

A great accomplishment! Wow!
