I've only been quilting for 4 months. At 73 you would have thought I'd been doing this forever. But I was intimidated by all that cutting. Never used a wheel cutter and mat. Grandmother used scissors. And pieced everything in her old treadle singer.. she taught me to sew. And tried to teach me to quilt. But it was awful. I'm on my 6 quilt. I'm hooked.

[@jessemciver9592]

thank you for making videos like this! i'm 16 years old and i've only recently taken up quilting. i don't have any mentors and these videos are very helpful!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad to help

[@hannahherrmann4921]

I've taken quite a few sewing classes from some kind ladies in my area. They quilt, and taught me the very basics one time. I haven't seen them in ages, and I've actually made a baby quilt and I'm working on a twin size one!

[@cynthiarowe5768]

Welcome to the quilters club Jesse. Oh the quilts you will make

[@MJ-ps5yq]

How is the quilting going, Jesse? I hope you are enjoying the journey! Keep on!

[@rhondaschellin8878]

Hey!! How's it going?

[@quiltingwithnina5939]

I love rewatching your videos, I get so many idea’s from your videos!

[@phillipsnider378]

At age 68, I have decided to jump into quilting. So I have been binge watching quilting videos. Yours are so informative and fun! Thanks for your excellent instruction!

[@damsel1934]

Love this, I only found you a few weeks ago. I am 85, hope I live long enough to make all these. I have so many scraps cut to every size one can think of, ugh! Now I will use only 2.5" & 5". Thank you, anyhow I think you are funny and pleasant to watch.

[@loissanders4314]

I feel the same way. So much I want to accomplish. Lord, please put me in the Craft Department when I go to heaven!

[@janecorcoran2705]

I feel the same way ladies...Karen Brown is a keeper!!!

[@louisenewberry3090]

Count me on! I’m 73 and really love quilting!

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

Same here. I am 80+ and wish I had more years in my life to do all that I am learning here. Gives me so much joy.

[@sherrynewington1120]

I am 31 and I feel like I don’t have enough life for everything I want to make and working full time. I guess I need to prioritize lol

[@evperez3599]

Thanks! So helpful. I'm going through my stacks ... 😃

[@lynnejones3525]

My Mount Scapmore consists of much smaller pieces I think of five inch piece as a precious gift! Influence of a lovely Gramdma who's husband died in the Spanish flu epidemic She brought up four children - my mother was less than a year old- on very little money Thankfully my life has been easier but the thrifty genes have come down I treasure the things she made and the memories I have of her Thanks for your channel I look forward to every post

[@Charlie-cz3jh]

You're nuts girl. I LOVE IT. So incredible. Thanks Karen❣❣

[@PetAllies]

Thank you for being so generous with sharing your wealth of knowledge. So much information. So little memory. 😊

[@coleenhuff432]

I am new to sewing. I won a sewing machine in a drawing at work. I have been bingeing on your videos. They're so informative and your personality is warm and welcoming. Thank you.

[@katchmoleengmail7034]

Coleen, curious if you have stuck with it a year later?

[@susansommers2181]

Karen. I love this video. I watch it over and over.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I love making the Spot-in-the-middle block

[@sheilakeating9089]

❤ watching your videos over and over. I always see something I hadn't thought about. Lol

[@michelleramirez2443]

Lol...they have babies!!!! Love it!!

[@martialbers3486]

And, Karen, this is why we love you! "I need another ruler like I need a hole in the head!" I'm so glad you said that - you're just so real! I'm going to work on the 4-patch and see what else I can use from your video to incorporate all of my 2.5" squares that I can't seem to stop cutting! Thanks, you keep it fun!

[@paulinechapman5669]

This works for me..l make 61/2 “ blocks…sew scraps till you get About an 8 “ piece sewn together..press well.lay a 61/2 ruler on and twist it to form a slanted look ..but stay within the fabric..then cut the 61/2” block..continue to make these and sew together For a happy crumb quilt..sew fun..!!🇨🇦

[@terryhaywood9218]

Thank you for all of your helpful video's.

[@raew5263]

I dream of the day when I can sew, sew, and sew some more. I want to make them all! Great vlogs. 👍🙏🏻🙋‍♀️

[@beccacramer7990]

I love your no nonsense approach. Never wordy or redundant! Well done!

[@beccacramer7990]

That was supposed to say "wordy" but it keeps auto correcting

[@SewFun]

Where have you been all my quilting life?? Thank you so much for the wonderful video. More please?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@susieinthecountry4434]

lots of good ideas here for beginners. thanks karen!

[@robertawestbrooks1650]

I are so awesome 🤩🤩

[@katblevins8736]

I Love your saying "Mount Scrapmore!" I have 4 baskets of scraps! Ha! Wonderful ideas! Thank You! thank You!! :-D

[@derounm]

Love this inspiring video!

[@mariafalero5031]

gracias 😃 desde PR 🥰

[@jopayne5617]

Your tutorials are a blessing! I have been trying to find someone who can speak intelligently, explain about how to organize scraps. Too many want us to buy more material and cut it up to make quilts. I like the idea of using what I have and have inherited from my late mom. I kept looking and enjoyed hearing your video, and now I have subscribed to your site. I appreciate your knowledge and down to Earth style of speaking. Too many either treat us like we don't even know what a needle and thread are, or bounce all over the video and ramble on to the point we lose what they are talking about. I have so many holiday themed materials, and I want to do what you said and cute them into strips and try to make a dent into my scrap mountain. Thanks

[@rosadrover2070]

Scrappy quilts are some of my favourites.

[@marilyncarrasquillo5378]

I love your videos. Thank you. Bless

[@lesleyobrien3907]

Thanks Karen I love scrappy quilts.

[@marilyncarrasquillo5378]

Thanks Karen for your videos. Show more blocks.

[@dawnupperman524]

Great motivation for scraps. Beautiful quilt!

[@shielagrippando4025]

Love this video

[@rcl-crafter8]

You are so fun to watch!! Seems like everything you talk about is stress free and creative. I've been collecting small pieces of fabric from the thrifts stores. I just buy what I like - bright and whimsical. Again, you have rules but nothing seems like a rule. Thanks!

[@corneliadebeer4638]

Thank you thank you for doing the “homework”. I am so bad at doing the math part !!! Just love your channel. Greetings from South Africa.

[@giodrakes]

I love this! Thank you!

[@dawnchattin5935]

I am so energized to bust my stash!

[@brendabronstein3828]

I am becoming inspired to use my scraps not for doll clothes as I was doing, but for scrap quilts. I really enjoy your videos and this "old dog" is ready to learn new tricks!

[@meriemo4482]

Thank you very useful video

[@teresaallen4933]

Love your videos ❤

[@akapody]

Karen I loved my visit to Mt. Scrapmore. It's safe traveling and totally worth the trip. Now I can dig thru my crumbs and make something artsy. Thanks again for the fun trip.

[@msklvr5078]

You’re SO awesome!!!

[@julzhowlett2200]

Great tips. Thanks

[@valerieslater3029]

This is all about the basics but it is really handy for us to come back to and use the different blocks for lots of different purposes, so thanks very much !!

[@HRHDMKYT]

I like that.. "Make an appointment with yourself on your calendar". What a great idea for being productive/efficient with personal time. Thanks for all the inspiration and "hacks", Karen. Your knowledge is invaluable, it's very generous of you to share it with the world in this way. ~Diana K

[@lizw9799]

I love your videos! They inspire me to get busy and "get it done!" You might like 4 patch - 9 patch. It was one of my first quilts I ever made and still a favorite :) Thanks for all your work and videos, plus you're really good on camera. :)

[@jenniferintouch]

I love you and your videos! I just found them a few days ago. I just turned 50, have been sewing since I was 13 or 14. I'm not a gifted seamstress; I just love it. I've made some pretty fantastic formal dresses, clothing and home décor. Quilting has always been a passion of mine, but what few things I've done seemed so cumbersome that it's remained a subdued passion, with the exception of about 15 jean quilts. not a whole lot of technique other than matching corners up. Watching you I realize I've gone about things the hard way! I'm so excited to make all 10 quilts shown here and a whole lot more from other videos - pillows, bags, and leftover scrap quilts. So much potential! I hope your friends and family know how lucky they are to have you! Thanks for sharing your time, talent, knowledge, and passion. Hugs!

[@teribusse8607]

Hi Karen, I’ve been watching your videos for some time. I’ve been sewing and quilting > 40 years but I watch because I still learn from you. LOVE your humor! Thanks, and keep it up 👍😎

[@glendathegoodwitch6987]

How in the world did you get so clever? Are you a genius in other realms in life, or just regarding quilts?

[@jackiesmith1325]

I know right? I will be so happy to just make any kind of quilt! These ladies have been doing this a long time.

[@elizabethacoveno6504]

I will surely be trying this.

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

New to quilting. I cannot WAIT to grow my own Mt. SCRAP MORE. Scrappy blocks, here I come.

[@Diniecita]

Im going to have to watch this one a few times to get all that. So much info. I love scrappy quilts but this is a whole other level for me.

[@djlehn1967]

thanks for the great ideas!

[@izzymartinez5227]

Great video.

[@kingmewade6032]

I started watching your channel a few months ago. I use to have 2, 55 gallon trash cans full of scraps. I did not want to throw them away, I did not know what to do with them so they just piled up. I do now, thank you.

[@vickiemasturzo2303]

Awesome information! You make me wish I were 20 years younger!

[@marthatracy8147]

So excited about your scrappy quilts. I am still a newbe at quilting a stack of squares.that are waiting to become quilts.

[@lisawallace1741]

Nov 2020- super helpful -thanks!!

[@lisagarner8261]

Your videos are intensely inspirational! It helps get the juices flowing when I’m getting bored. Thank you and keep posting!

[@kimnewell2597]

I started my scraps!!! so far I have about 1/8" deep in a shoebox size container! WoHoo! I'm sure I can quilt something in a few years. Well, maybe some potholders, coasters and a dog quilt will be my goal. Can't wait.

[@paintbrush1718]

Wow! I just joined a sewing club at local church ministry of sewing quilts of all types for nursing homes. Vet homes, homeless..cancer centers . Today we wete doing "scrap squares". I made one in 3 hours! Newbie to using rulet cutter. You videos have helped me understand and i am so looking forward to next sewing day..Thank you..will watch all and learn.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Welcome to quilting. It’s so much fun

Thank you for this insperational post! Sure get's the juices flowing to start with the scrap box!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Have fun!

[@lesliehobson3196]

WOW! My head is spinning---from all the beautiful scrappy quilts you showed & from trying to decide which one I should make first! Thank you for all the inspiration & motivation. Hugs &🌹🌹🌹

[@grandmasheeshee9579]

Great video & ideas for "scrapbusting"!!

[@lucycolley1857]

Thank you for the idea of cutting scrap fabric 5 inch strips and 2.5, I just got a box full of scraps, wasn't sure what to do with them,lots of old fabric, ironed them trimed them then cut the larger fabric to 5 inch and what was left 2.5, then what was left ,that could be used, goes to crumb quilts, now to find someplace in this little apartment to store them, thanks for your video

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

LOL...I just found this video today, and you said something that I had told my husband two nights ago. I've been trying to conquer Mt. Scrapmore too. Well, it seems I make a LOT of progress sewing the scraps together to use later, but when I get ready to quit sewing, it looks like I haven't TOUCHED that scrap pile. I told hubby that I was POSITIVE that pile procreated during the night, and some night I was gonna sneak in there and catch them in the act.

[@karenrich9092]

Hi Karen I've watched this video a couple of times and saw the hug and kiss blocks. I thought it would make a great baby quilt (hug and kiss a baby). Oh, and lots of squares with a sharp contrast could be a great vision exercise for that little one too!

[@celinedumoulin4485]

Love listening to you. You are a very smart woman ♥️

[@lornacorbet5065]

Since Covid 19 I have been quilting, yesterday I decided to empty my scrape bin. LOL wow it grew fast, my granddaughter and I are sorting colors today and tomorrow I have a date with the sewing machine. Thanks for all the ideas:)

[@michelemohamed3584]

Karen, I love your series of videos. I’m jumping back into quilting after many years. I quilted while raising my young children, stopped while returning to work, now back again in retirement. Please explain& do a video on “ fussy cuts”.

[@valeriabauer2738]

I love every single video. You are my mentor. Thank you

[@pamelacasey1699]

Great scrap buster blocks!

[@cj2sew]

Oh my goodness you're awesome! I wish I had followed you earlier. Yes I will be sorting and using my scraps. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

[@carenurse]

Hi! I have to thank you for your color theory classes and your “no fear” approach to getting down to business with Mt. Scrapmore. So much information and inspiration!!!

[@bellamyheaton403]

I love this video. I didn’t even realize I was accumulating scraps until I had a drawer full! I keep convincing myself I have big enough scraps I can just buy a bit more fabric and make a pattern out of it! Then I end up with more scraps from that other fabric. It’s a never ending cycle! 😂

[@lisahall9226]

It hasn't been but a few days since beginning to binge watch your fab videos. So far I have been inspired to manage my stash, tidy my studio and to work on the fundamentals. Thanks so much!

[@janstewart9591]

I learn so much watching your videos.

[@Mdb0514]

Just press to the left and up- fab tip! Thanks!

Thank you for this video. Your wool appliqué has inspired me.

I can hardly wait for Part2 with even more ideas for blocks from these strips. Thanks so much for your great videos!

[@bwaldron8449]

You are a hoot and awesome ideas. Look forward to your video notifications. Keep on videoing!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I love scrappy blocks. I like to keep my Mt Scrapmore in check by working on a couple of blocks everyday. Even if I don't have a big project Im working on, I work on few scrappy blocks.I hope you give a couple of these a try.

[@joyceschroeder2769]

"Mt. Scrapmore" 😄 Love it!

[@mandyg5747]

This was a fantastic video! I love your videos but this goes in my faves folder. So useful. Thankyou for your efforts making this for us all.

[@KouzyFox]

im just researching quilts to go along with some projects and your videos have been so on point for all my questions and more...

[@francecyrenne6016]

I love scrappy quilts and more so during this pandemic when I’ve been buying leftover quilting cotton from others. I make them and donate the quilt tops to a charity that finish them for cancer patients. I get to do the fun stuff and it’s an inexpensive hobby when using scraps. Just found your videos and I love your down to earth style. Keep making those videos!

[@Treaclepuff]

Oh MY! I think you are an answer to my prayers! I have been quilting for a little over two years and you are answering so many questions about how to use my scraps (I will have to watch your color theory series). I just watched your video on handling leftover batting. Thank you for putting out all this information to us new quilters! I still have so much to learn! I'm glad to have some new ideas on how to handle my scraps better and especially my batting! I hope you have a blessed day! Happy quilting!

[@maryhardman4325]

I just love your teaching videos, best ever thank you

[@marygeorge9688]

Yes, more please. I always appreciate your time and ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@luannfischer747]

You definitely are helping with a ‘clean up’ project in my sewing room. I knew about everyone of these blocks, but when someone ‘points out the obvious’ it just validates what is in the think box already and gets me moving... THANKS

[@vickiefarrall1227]

Thank you for the lovely reminder of what we can do with just two sizes of strips/squares. I’m definitely going to try this to cull some of my stash!

I love it😍😍😍😍

[@donnastevens7716]

I've been quilting for a few years now but still consider myself a newbe! In all these years of quilting, I've never done anything with my scraps because I honestly didn't know what to do with them. Thank you so much for giving these great tips on what to do. how to manage them, setting a timer, etc. Now I'm excited to go tackle a job I once dreaded!
