🧵🌸 LET'S TALK ABOUT FINDING YOUR VOICE with Oleysa Lebedenkoi - KAREN’S QUILT CIRCLE

Back in 2020 when the first lockdowns of the pandemic happened, many of us turned to social media to find comfort and community. We found quilters from around the world taking solace in their craft. That’s how I found my next guest Olesya Lebedenko. She has a distinct paperless piecing style that brought a smile to my face everyday. Her patterns have appeared in many issues of Needle pulling thread and Quiltmania.

Thank you Karen. This presenter just made me smile ear to ear! So sweet and energizing. And Go Canada!

[@maureenkomperda3421]

Great interview Karen. You’ve had soooo many diverse quilters & artists on your KZbin. So amazing.

[@carollombard1813]

I started watching this video a few days ago and I just finished it; wow! It's late and I just want to get up and dance! What an incredible and beautiful young woman! Job well done Karen!

[@elainaharter8405]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Thank you!

[@margaretkent5907]

Thank you Karen for having such a delightful guest, loved her passion..thanks for sharing .

[@carmenbailey1560]

Another great interview, you are absolutely right, her ambition, energy and passion definitely shows through. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@marilynhardman5239]

Olesya is A breath of fresh air. A very interesting interview Karen. 💐

[@darcicole5530]

What a wonderful interview, Karen. She is so energetic and bubbling over with creativity. 💖 🇺🇦

[@barbaraimwold4352]

Thank you Karen. Have a wonderful break and looking forward to your future video.

[@michellecornum5856]

WOW! I'm kind of speechless after that. Just the paperless piecing -- wow. Huge story in under half an hour. Cute characters!!!

[@aliceferdinand2786]

What a beautiful show. Thank for introducing me to wonderful artist. Slavs Ukraini

[@mariaangelesvenereo4143]

Loved the interview. She is so full of ideas. I was thinking that perhaps I should get in touch with her for some tips on how to create a pattern for an specific design.

[@anastasiapelechaty1778]

Thank you so much for this wonderful interview and amplifying our voices and her work is lovely. Being of Ukrainian descent, I love discovering new Ukrainian makers! One thing we are trying to inform people of is “The Ukraine” is a slightly outdated term. It was used during the time when Ukraine was under the USSR, and the correct way is to just say “Ukraine” There’s lots of literature on this to check out. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing some resources where people can donate.

[@MaryanneN_]

Thank you for introducing her to us! Great patterns and her cat patterns are adorable!

[@marysalmond5273]

Another wonderful interview! Exciting life as a newly married quilter!

[@lindafitzsimmons2526]

Karen…thank you for this timely Interview. I just purchased one of her block patterns (adorable black cat) last evening on Etsy. I would say “what a coincidence”, but it’s the same way I found you…it was meant to be. I love her energy and you are so real and amazing yourself.

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

Karen, thank you so very much for this interview! ❤

[@terrihasstedt5855]

Doing decluttering challenge, dealing with scraps that were bagged and never dealt with. Listening to this and older interviews while ironing, cutting and sewing with crumbs on library and other receipts papers. Been a wonderful time for me. Scrap placemat for our dinner trays, By Annie's scraps made into a drinking cup cover. Maybe through my own mountain scrapmore in another week. Today is yellow scraps!

[@conniewhitten8660]

Lovely lady, another great interview

[@marywright1057]

A beautiful collection which to buy is the next question.

[@pamjones3594]

Thanks, Karen! Great interview.

[@susanbaker8023]

What a lovely girl. Her cats are darling.

[@joycefuller9177]

Good morning. Hi from Lafayette Indiana USA

[@brideoflevi]

You may be full up on ideas for podcasts but I would love to hear from someone like the fix sewing machine institute that trains sewing machine technicians! I'd love to know what it takes to become qualified to service machines and maybe that could open doors for side income for some of your viewers. Plus the tips on machine maintenance from your interview with Bernina Jeff have been one of the best take aways from the podcasts. Really appreciate your channel and hard work!

[@mahajabinbintakabir6836]

I love too

[@rangertuck9158]

I love these quilt blocks find a lot on Etsy from different people I don't know how they made these difficult blocks. Isn't easier to applique?

[@rangertuck9158]

Darn it missed this, ugh KZbin. I had a question I have quilt books given to me ranging from 1940s to 2002 showing quilt blocks that I can't find instructions on, the books show the blocks some have templates in the book. Some have notes but I can't find these blocks using Google or searching on KZbin and can't find instructions or any current quilt shows showing these blocks. My question was how do I make these blocks with no templates no instructions only the layout and finished image?

Good Morning

[@brookprinsen6746]

Hi Karen, I hope everything is OK…we haven’t heard from you in a couple of weeks.

[@polyesterbebe]
