[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thanks for listening

[@jaynelacey9659]

Excellent interview as always Karen. Thank you so much for all of the great questions you pose. This one was particularly interesting for me as I have just purchased and watched Youngmin Lee’s series of videos. I also took a Sarah Cook machine Bojagi class online during lockdown here in the UK which was my first introduction to Bojagi. It was such a pleasure to watch and listen to your interview today. You always bring a ray of sunshine into my day.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

[@patttakeuchi3959]

Wow, I love this. You amaze me in who you find. Fabric artists from all over the world and cultures is so wonderful. Thank you very much. p.s. Would love a Japanese quilt maker. I've seen videos of Tokyo quilt festival. Takes my breath away...

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It’s definitely on my bucket list

[@pamelaarbour3368]

What a wonderful and interesting interview!!! So much talent. Thanks, Karen, for another fabulous interview.

[@vickismallwood2082]

This was a fantastic informative interview. I love learning how other cultures use textiles and this one was fantastic thank you so much. I was wondering if by any chance you would be doing anything on Japanese textiles in the future?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Yes

[@janiesoito4494]

Another fascinating interview. For me it is an example of not knowing what you don't know about, if that makes sense. A beautiful craft by a beautiful person. Thank you both so much for sharing.

[@kathleenpriestman553]

Another fascinating video! Thank you, Karen, for bringing these fabulous resources (artists, historians and technical people) to our attention. Great job, you asked all the questions I was aching to hear the answer to - and more that I was so glad to have answered!

[@ralphrobert1513]

Yeah that’s inspiring though. it’s really great chatting with you Kathleen

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

[@ralphrobert1513]

Yeah that’s inspiring though. it’s really great chatting with you

[@itcouldbeanyone]

We all paint with fabric and it’s lovely to see an artist I didn’t know I needed to see

[@carolynshull4841]

A wonderful interview. I'm going to love learning and making bojagi 😊. So beautiful.

[@ralphrobert1513]

Yeah that’s inspiring though. it’s really great chatting with you Carolyn

[@hmneill]

Love this!!! Going to look more into this beautiful art form! Thank you Karen for highlighting so many wonderful textile artists.

[@Fosterfireglass]

I have been making fabric bags for gifts for years. I love this idea. Wrapping paper with certain coatings is not biodegradable so this is good for the planet too!

[@nancyshaner8548]

I have learned so much with this video. How interesting. Now I have to try some Bojagi. Beautiful work. I will need practice. Can anyone recommend a book hand sewing stitches?

[@ralphrobert1513]

Yeah that’s inspiring though. it’s really great chatting with you nancy

[@youngminleebojagi]

I have an online video watching program that you watch and learn basic bojagi making. www.youngminlee.com/onlineclass

[@AmandaTrought]

Enjoyed the conversation ❤ will have to try it!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I’m actually having coffee with her this week at Quiltcon

[@joane8651]

Thank you for another very interesting video. I have wanted to make a shower curtain with fabrics with memories and this sounds maybe do-able....

[@ralphrobert1513]

Yeah that’s inspiring though. it’s really great chatting with you Joan

[@ralphrobert1513]

Where are you from?

[@sandramyer7081]

Thoroughly enjoyed the lovely Youngmin talk about Pojagi and the cultures about Korea- her stories were so interesting and various ways they used Pojagi as an old craft and now new ones. . Wonderful to see this and I’ll keep it more for me for years! Thank you, Karen! Terrific!

[@michellecornum5856]

I love keeping traditions alive, even if they need to be adapted a little.

[@ralphrobert1513]

Yeah that’s inspiring though. it’s really great chatting with you Michelle

[@trudyhorst3990]

I loved this interview! Thank you for sharing, Karen.

[@pamlacey136]

I really enjoyed this interview on Bojagi. I had heard of it before as I follow Kate from The Last Homely House in the UK. She is a quilter and crafter of many things. She has mentioned your channel so I know that she follows you too. She showed her technique of doing Pojagi (also Bojagi) and I found it to be very interesting and pretty. She has made colorful curtains using this technique. She also had some videos showing how she does Indigo dyeing which is so pretty. If you don’t follow her, I think you would find her very interesting and she brings a slower pace to life which I love. Thank you again for the video. P.S. Youngmin Lee is such a beautiful woman in many ways.

[@michellemurray4044]

Love Kate!

[@sheilabernadetteclairemcin1107]

Agree love Kate . She brings much joy to busy lives

[@evelynfrench804]

[@marshasetering3143]

Very interesting. Another great interview. Such a lovely woman.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

This is all new to me. I find it very interesting. I'm now wondering if my old hands will let me do such beautiful work.

[@laurienorton7422]

Wow! This is the BEST interview yet! Loved it. Had never heard of Bojagi before.

[@ralphrobert1513]

Yeah that’s inspiring though. it’s really great chatting with you Laurie

[@donnanutt3650]

My father served in the Korean War and had a great fondness for Korea. I’ve never had the privilege of visiting but after watching this charming interview I wish I could see Korea. She is a truly a joy. Thank you both for this interview

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

This is to give you a taste. Go take a look at her website for more details

[@gingerquilts2pickles]

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this!

[@barbaracarroll6026]

Just a wonderful interview!

[@deborahcolman3035]

I really enjoyed this talk. It’s no wonder you keep going down lots of rabbit holes Karen! There’s so much of interest and to learn about textiles in general as well as about all the techniques from other cultures. Sadly not enough time to do it all.. thanks Karen. ❤️

[@deborahcolman3035]

I’d also really like to know which see-through fabrics are recommended, if anyone knows. Thank you ❤️

[@grettahurst1039]

Awesome! I love slow stitching but had not connected it to Bojagi ! Thanks!

[@melisahorsley2061]

Great interview❣️ Beautiful work😍

[@sowinglight1960]

The hallmark of a great interview are the questions posed by the interviewer. You asked so many valuable questions- ones that brought out the story of it all. I was fascinated by the history, and also the astrology of the marriage traditions. The astrology can give a person insight into their strengths and challenges going forward in a relationship. Enjoyed this interview very much-- actually, I can't think of any of your interviews that I didn't love! Thank you

[@ralphrobert1513]
