[@dorothyparent3153]

They are all so beautiful and thank you for showing them for every one I enjoyed watching them thank you

[@lisahouston2843]

Thank you for always sharing your quilting journeys! I live vicariously through you❤.

[@robinsiler6645]

Thank You for sharing the Northwest Quilt Show with us. So many amazing quilts. Always love your videos.

[@phyllisj.8100]

Thank you Anna for the virtual quilt show! Always so inspiring. Sorry to hear someone is trying to ruin our fun and your generosity, but thankfully you have a feisty nature and won't let that stop you. Your memories of playing with the nativity scene brought back my memories of playing with my paper cutout dolls with my sister. Oh boy, we really gave those dolls a lot of adventures! I am sure your grandsons will have a lot of fun giving Ruth, Chester and the gang their own stories. Thank you for all you do with your you tube posts and your blog.....inspiring and gives me a friend in Portland!

[@jodigrzeczka6617]

Thank you, Anna! i sure could use a shopping spree! That tour was inspiring!

[@carmenmontmarquet2066]

Thank You Anna for taking us to this lovely quilt show, they had amazing quilts for sure! Love that you are making those cute embroidered critters for your grandsons, they will love them! Have noticed scammers on other channels I follow, please don't lose heart over this, we love you and will continue to seek you out whenever you post a video!

[@marticote3442]

Glad you are Covid negative, Anna. That’s a big relief. Thanks for taking us along to the quilt show!

[@susantreston2589]

It’s like sitting with a friend when I watch you weekly…and have done now for many years. Buttons, Buttons, Buttons..what can I say except that I love them. I have a jar of them from my grandmother and every time I make a gift for the family I try to put some on it. So they have a tiny piece of Nan with them also xx Her lure of brightly coloured spools of cotton got me started when I was 5. Thanks Anna & G for all you do 🧵🧵🧵

[@kristenlauster3746]

Thanks so much for bringing us another peek into another quilt show. I am mobility challenged so any segment on what is going on in the quilting world is greatly appreciated.

[@susanwarner9427]

Sure enjoyed all the beautiful quilts. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. Thank you for keeping the channels going. They are always a highlight. Grateful for you ❤

[@karena.2416]

This was such a great *visit * from you, thank you so much. It came at a needed time, my sweet 4legged companion (dog) passed away suddenly and unexpectedly a few days ago. I miss him so much 😢, I know you understand. My quilt journey began with hand quilting and exhibiting in shows, moved forward to making for family and friends still hand quilting.The years passed and I have had to go to machine quilting (dsm) and giving away, but the love of it continues. I so enjoy seeing Enzo’s (doll) various poses, they crack me up😅. Thanks again.❤❤❤

[@rubiegarnetrose]

I’m so glad you are negative now !! The quilts are all so beautiful I can imagine being there in person how much more beautiful they must be. Thank you soooo much for sharing with us!❤

[@rosinyberg8747]

Rosanna Diggs did get a lot of my money!!!! I got beginner kits for my 4-H kids! She was thrilled!!!

[@rebeccasager3350]

Hi Anna, Fabulous video! I love the Steampunk Elephant panel & fabric. It's amazing. Today my Hubby and I are celebrating our 47th Wedding Anniversary ❤️ I had to stop and watch this video to start my day. I love the bunny - that series will be fabulous when they are done. Thank you so much for the Northwest Quilt Show share. I used to go every year but life gets in the way at times. Love the Button portion - who knew! So happy you're Covid Clear and G is not far behind you. Love you - take care and have an awesome week 💐

[@beckywilson3425]

Thanks for taking us to the quilt show, beautiful quilts. I bought the Bleu France ( I think that’s the name)material by French General to make a stool for my sewing room. One of the pieced ones that were all the rage a few years back. I never got around to making one, better late than never. Who knew, a National Button Society. If someone goes to the convention let the rest of us know how it was. One year my sister and I were all excited to go to Cookie Con. We had never heard of a cookie convention before. It was a bust, not what we expected at all. Take care.

[@donnacarter1033]

I look forward each day to your postings and am having a great time listening to old ones as I sit and quilt or stitch. Keep up the good work Anna.

[@clayottmeier335]

Hi Anna, thank you again for another great video. I just wanted to reassure you, please don't get frustrated; your cheerfulness, and positivity is always inspiring. Thank you for putting all the time that you do, into making your videos.

[@ka-renlipchik5801]

Another great exhibit. Thank you and I enjoy watching while I'm stitching.

[@karenkennedy7516]

Thanks for sharing the Quilt Show. Glad you are feeling better. What a great idea to let your grandson use the little bunnies. Way to build imagination.

[@ellenmatoba1078]

Thank you, Anna, for the quilt show tour. There are so many lovely quilts on display. My favorites are the Asian inspired quilts. 💕

[@idabrandon5054]

Blue is my favorite color so most of my quilts are blue. Don't let those blanky blanky people get you down, most of us here know what is not right. I love your stories and trips keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@patriciapratt1501]

Love quilt shows and Steam Punk designs. Thanks for showing us the quilts

[@yvonnekleinhans6901]

Thank you so much for the trip through the quilt show. So much inspiration. With several inches of new snow on the ground this morning It's a great time to work on fabric and fun.

[@lindaskinner5887]

Beautiful quilts. I truly enjoyed the stories they tell. Amazing craftsmanship. Thank you so much for sharing.❤

[@dianamyery8402]

My granddaughter come over Saturday I have a basket full of pumpkins, all different sizes and made of different things, plastic ceramic wood carved. She had a blast playing with those pumpkins. Though I have found them all over the house since she left. Gotta love them. Have a great day.

[@margaretnielsem9228]

Thanks for taking me where I can't go. It is such fun and inspiring to see all the great talent out there. Always a joy

[@Ksandbay]

These days I much more appreciate the simpler project that can be transported easily and completed easily.

[@luellacalkins6739]

I love the story about watching your grandson play. It warmed my heart so much. My youngest has turned 13 so the days of idol playing I can catch are but a memory. Those times pass quickly. ❤❤❤. Glad you are feeling better Anna.

[@c.kallman127]

Thankyoul Anna, we all appreciate your concern for us.. Scammers r a pain, but please keep pushing forward and maybe some day they will get their due😘 the quilt show was fantastic.let's be thankful for all our friendships. Happy stitching!

I so enjoy listening to you and sharing your life adventures. You do indeed make my day a little brighter.

[@user-mx6zk1of3q]

Thank you for giving the National Button Society a shoutout. I’m the President of the Garnet Button Club in Boise Idaho. Button Collecting has been going on since 1938 nationally and started in 1948 in Oregon. That’s 75 years. I’ll see you in July!

[@johilpert9149]

Such a nice visit. So happy your tested negative so you could share the quilt show with us. Some amazing work on display. And now my mind is off to the races with ideas.

[@albertacontee3530]

Hello Anna, So good to hear you had a wonderful time at the Quilt Festival. As always, I enjoy your channel. Yes, the scammers, are a pain in the you know what. Know that I will keep commenting, because you are so enjoyable to listen to and keep me laughing all the time. The Fat Quater Shop is just so generous. Anna, I appreciate who you are and all you do for the channel. Hang in there I will keep coming back no matter what..... I'm just loving having time to quilt and cross-stitch. It will be one year of retirement on March 18th and it has been wonderful!!!!! Be blessed and I will comment again soon. Alberta from Southern, MD.....😊😊😊

[@patpotenzo7857]

Fun video once again, thank you for sharing. And thank you FQS.

[@lorellechambers]

Always great catching up with what you have been up to. Thanks for a great view of the quilt show.

[@donnahannah9631]

Love French General fabrics too! Remember at my grandma’s house she had a heavy cast iron that was painted with folk art, she used it for a door stop and I used to iron her wool rug with it! Kept me busy for a while! Think of her often when ironing. Thanks for sharing the quilt show beauties!

[@mickiejohnson8940]

Thank you for sharing the quilt show, wow lots of beautiful quilts.

[@joycesharp3783]

Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the Festival of Quilts! What a fun time! I appreciate your videos and always look forward to watching them while I sew and stitch!

[@marilynwharton1916]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful quilt show! It was awesome.

[@jokelly1762]

When I was small, my mom had a big fancy tin container filled with buttons from our grandmas. Once in a great while on a rainy afternoon we would sit on the floor and go though all the buttons and pick out our favorites and the ones we thought were ugly. It was fun.

[@sjnewmexico10]

Glad u got to go to the Quilt Show..../thanks for sharing... always enjoy ur visits with us! Blessings

[@bjoyp7463]

I have the same French General jolly bar! I just love it but for a different project. Thank you for the lovely chat and all your amazing inspiration. Ruth is adorable!❤

[@carollorion5130]

Anna, you always make my day. I enjoy seeing your projects. Ruth is darling!! I bet your grandsons will love it. I am going to piece the spools quilt.

[@myrnamcclure2791]

So glad you are feeling better. Enjoyed seeing all the beautiful quilts!!

[@xstitchinglibrarian]

Hi Anna, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful updates. I'm so happy that you are feeling better.

[@donnaboyd5108]

So great to know that things are getting back to a more normal place. Perhaps 2023 is the year that I too will go to a quilt show. Congratulations to the Northwest Quilters for putting together such a beautiful show. Thank you Anna for being so generous with your time and experiences.

[@bevmerritt9545]

Thank you, Anna for allowing me to "go" to the show. Beautiful quilts.

[@suzannemoore973]

Oh my goodness! I am so excited to learn about the button society. Thank you for sharing the quilt festival and your projects. ❤

[@jaynecarreiro5005]

my mother made an entire nativity set for my children and now my grandbabies play with, Baby Jesus has had some awesome adventures! glad your off to your stitch day and feeling better, best to G.

[@eileenemberger3969]

So glad your Covid was a very mild version. I am working on a log cabin quilt for donation to a veteran here in Phoenix. It has been 18 months since my husband passed away and the grief is lessening. I still miss him but not the gut wrenching feeling. My quilting is my happy place.

[@vickiprofant]

Thank you for sharing your quilt show video! Loved it! Take care and have fun with Cheryl!

[@nancygignac-terry3497]

Oh, and I am so glad you tested negative and you’ll enjoy your stitch day on the 15th. I’ll be thinking of you.😊 also the fat quarter shop my shopping place you made my day😊

[@lindarussell6958]

That was an amazing quilt show…such talent! I enjoyed your story of why you were making all the animal couples. Your grandsons are very fortunate to have such a thoughtful grandma! I look forward to your next video!

[@geralynlima9152]

You’re right the quilts were amazing!❤

[@pambump6060]

The Kimono quilts were simply stunning! I am really intrigued with Japanese Fiber Arts!

[@pamkahmann3833]

Love Ruth and Chester. What a wonderful idea for your grandson. My grandkids play with my Nativity scene every Christmas. Everytime I get ready to pack it away, I find extra pieces that they had visit the Baby Jesus….miniature dinosaurs and Star Wars characters, to name a couple.😁 what beautiful quilts! Thanks for taking us on the tour with you.

[@quiltroadies1695]

😂❤️

[@sarahfriesner7442]

It is lovely to see quilts shows from different parts of the world. The Japanese ones were beautiful. Now off to your blog x

[@sarahcontento9516]

Your grandson hit the lotto. He's got an awesome nana. I get those on every channel I watch. I'm working on hand stitching a hexie top and a plus sign top. Both are paper pieced. I was sick for a month with covid. I'm so glad you're better. Love you.

[@quiltroadies1695]

A month😱😢

[@marilynpodoll3278]

Thanks for showing us the quilt show. The ocean at the end was good too.

[@sewpatty1515]

Always a good start to the day to watch your videos and see a quilt show! Our Central Illinois area finally starting quilt shows again at the end of April and it’s 15 minutes from me. Thanks for sharing!

[@joannemoore826]

Thanks so much for sharing that amazing quilt show! I was starting to feel sheepish with my skills viewing all that amazing talent until I saw the paper pieced origami crane quilt. I made one of those for my daughters college graduation and I felt redeemed in my skills..lol…I was actually stitching on Kathy Schmitz Tiny Treasure Hexies while watching this! Yes I saw and preordered her new book and kit which made me get back to the Tiny Treasures to justify yet another purchase..🤭Oh your bunny is darling! I have all those kitted up and waiting. Who can resist Kathy Schmitz? I was thinking about placing them all in a big bowl too..but I have no grandchildren…Just for me to play with..lol Glad you are feeling better!

[@marycline5578]

I am so excited that you like steampunk too. Thank you for all you do for us. You are a great friend.

[@renestovall9226]

You’re not alone,,,another channel I watch has been having same issues. Seems like these things happen periodically. I am so glad you shared your trip with us and supported their local vendors. I think it’s a responsibility of ours to support our fellow vendors, businesses or communities🤑❤😊

[@shirleywilson8241]

Thank you so much for sharing the video of the NW Quilt Show. My friends and I also attended and were overwhelmed to see a few of the over 100 quilts Yuki designed and stitched in her lifetime and have an opportunity to visit with her son. A rare opportunity to see such beautiful work. Keep up the good work, Anna. I love your videos and hope our paths shall cross one day.

[@quiltroadies1695]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@noraverheyen5506]

I am glad that you feel better. Thanks for the quilt show. I hate those scammers.

[@melindafisher1584]

I stitch my Grandmothers’ buttons into small projects ….pincushions, wall hangings and project bags. I like the idea of stitching them to fabric and framing them. Ruth looks spectacular! I can totally see grandchildren playing with a bowl of critters. Thx for today’s video.

[@ninadukette3340]

So nice to see another generation keep occupied with the same sort of things. In this house, it is about nesting dolls. I played with them at my grandmother's house. Now children play with nesting dolls here.

[@ninadukette3340]

How wonderful your Mom let you play with the Nativity set.

[@vickiinkansas1399]

So nice to “attend” a quilt show. Winter is the dry season for quilt shows in the Midwest. Eagerly awaiting the KC Quiltfest in June. Saving my pennies as I know there will be something I won’t be able to live without!

[@marcycawley9396]

I saw your pics of Enzo and it touched my heart. We had to say goodbye to our cat, Boo, two weeks ago and all I can say is...Aren't they a blessing? We miss him soooo much. Thank you for the time you spend with us. We love you.

[@lizryan6289]

Sorry you had to say farewell to Boo. He can join my Emmy at the Rainbow Bridge.

[@scottydog6539]

Thank you for the warnings of scammers. I was notified by a scammer once too. Glad you both enjoyed the show. It is so nice to be there in person.

[@cathybehle-ernst5796]

Oh, Anna, thank you SO MUCH for the quilt show video . . . .felt as though I were there! Beautiful! Xo

[@pattykenny1356]

Thank you for all the hard work you do! I look forward to all your videos

[@vickyh7881]

Thank you for taking us along with you to the quilt show. Beautiful, beautiful quilts! I’ve lost my sewing mojo the last few weeks. My hexies and two unfinished quilt tops are yelling at me, but I’m ignoring them. The up side to that is I’ve gotten more cleaning done. Nice to visit with you, as always. 🤗🤗

[@QuiltingWithMeSew]

Thank you for the quilt show tour, so enjoyed it. 😃 I had fun listening to you talk about your childhood imagination and your grandson’s too. Love the idea of the little embroidered bunny families in a bowl for your grandson to play with, such a sweet idea. The Last Homely house had the same problem with scammers that you did, for the same reason….geez. Love your elephant steampunk fabric too❤Hope you get to attend the button convention!

[@LoriOrr-qp8fg]

Thank you for sharing the Quilt show, loved it and the drive!

[@susanwid2099]

Thank you for the tour of the quilt show. Lovely!
