🧵🌸 LET'S TALK ABOUT QUILT-AS-YOU-GO with Pamela Weeks- KAREN’S QUILT CIRCLE

[@vernatilleman4065]

Love the connection with genealogy. ❤❤❤❤

[@polyesterbebe]

This was a fantastic interview

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@susanchase7880]

Great interview. Agree about the need to go back to ""the causes"" for quilting. Quilting clubs should be collectively creating at least one a member in addition to all the beautiful Art Quilts.

[@kathleenfangmeyer7574]

I’m from Wilton NH, it’s nice to see other quilters from my home State❤

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I loved your interview, thank you!

[@jtpdx2209]

This was a fantastic interview. ❤ Thanks for introducing us to such an amazing lady with a great wealth of knowledge. As a gay man, her final remarks about using quilts to talk about social issues hit me like a ton of bricks and has inspired me to make something about our current struggles.

[@pauladimattei6434]

Love her book!! It is awesome.

[@sheilabernadetteclairemcin1107]

[@cissak6793]

Another one of your amazing videos. I truly enjoy this interview with Ms. Weeks. Thank you both.

[@conniekline9881]

Fascinating interview, although I wish she had shown us some samples, in pictures. Thank you for introducing us to Pamela Weeks.

[@donnawilson7091]

Great sound quality Karen.

[@jwestfalldavis3574]

Simply fantastic! Thank you.

[@georgettecappuccilli6225]

Very interesting talk about guilt as you go. It’s a way I enjoy quilting my quilt. The historic factor is eye opening. Thank you.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Yes, who knew

[@saraburke4795]

Thank you Karen for introducing us to Pamela Weeks.

[@gerryglowacki340]

Wow what a fantastic interview . So much history and knowledge . Awesome 😊

[@cc83jc85]

Very interesting interview! Thank you so much..I've learnt so much...and although I'm an Aussie/Chilean..I find antique quilts very interesting, especially Historical ones!

[@lauracurnan3255]

This was a fabulous video. Thank you so much. I am a Long Islander. The stories about people from there are so interesting. Thank you so much. Yes the older I get the more I add to my labels. Hugs from Tampa.

[@lauralovestoquilt]

Another great interview--thank you, Karen and Pamela!

[@marilyngandhi8571]

This interview is so interesting. My Grandmother and her mother were part of the Suffragette movement in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

[@suzisaintjames]

Interesting interview. I didn't think it would be, but she's such a historian! Very interesting. I think because l remember watching Georgia Bonesteel on PBS back in the day. Last l checked Georgia has KZbin videos. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@hazeldw4786]

Quilt as you go is one of the first techniques that I tried. I'm surprised I didn't find this video last October when I did my 1st QAYG. I overheard Ann Holte say that if more of us at Quilts of Valor did QAYG it would take the stress off the volunteer longarmers. I dove in and scoured KZbin to learn how. Fast forward to a year later and Ann Holte is teaching me her BAT method of QAYG. One of these days I hope to get to the New England Quilt Museum. My family has deep roots in New England.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I am glad you found a method that works for you.

[@deannabosch1434]

Very interesting interview! Thank you for your ever-expanding info on quilts.

[@Craftythrifter]

Things I LOVE: quilts, QAYG, quilt museums. This video has them all. I enjoyed hearing about the history of QAYG but also about her job in the museum and the museum itself. Great idea for more interviews. Quilt museums! ❤

[@gigiontube]

What a gorgeous video - and so educational ! Nothing makes a job more successful than the passion and love you put in that job because you believe in the job’s “cause” and you like your work. By the way, Ricky Tims is teaching quilt photography, he has an KZbin series. If anyone is interested in taking beautiful pictures, including specifically quilts pictures, I would recommend his course. It costs some money but it’s worthy for sure. I’m not associated in any way with him, I’m not making any $ recommending his course; it’s just that he is so good at photography as well.

[@jackyhorn6709]

Brilliant interview. Thank you. X

[@jeanetten6908]

Thank you, Karen, for this fascinating interview with Pamela! I love quilts and history, so this was a real treat!

[@geniereiman1089]

Very interesting! I too, started quilting in the late 1970s and have the Georgia Bonesteel books about lap quilting.

[@barbaracoleman9215]

Thank you for this interview. I accidentally taught myself QAYG when I found an old pattern in a quilt book when I was first learning to quilt. Thankfully I followed the directions and it came out beautifully.

[@kateschwarz1717]

Great and informative interview!

[@davinathompson5921]

Thank you, Karen. And you look terrific!

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

A beautiful session, very touching, thank you.

[@joane8651]

I couldn't find your QAYG playlist. Thank you for the great interview.

[@kimberleysweetser6087]

This is my favorite interview, so fascinating.

[@julieg-az6210]

Thank you for this great interview! I was just at that museum the first week of August and enjoyed all the exhibits she mentioned. Will definitely visit again 😊

[@barbaralazier8352]

So interesting ❤

[@jeanforrester4134]

Wow! I learned so much from this interview with Pamela Weeks!

[@jeanforrester4134]

Oops, I forgot to add that. I’ve been quilting since about 1981 after a friend of mine, got into art quilts, etc and turned me onto it. And this after many years of managing a fabric store graduating with BFA degree and wanting to be a “fine“ artist… a la Michelangelo!! 😀😁

[@TeresaMaria-i4c]

Your channel is always informative & helpful- I’ve been working on a potholder quilt for a very long time, collecting and cutting 2 1/2” hexies. This helps with my next steps of fmq the center of each and the joining

[@cbernier6967]

Thank you Karen, l enjoy your tutorials and your interviews are tops🏆 great learning experience👏🏼👏🏼🧵🪡🫶🏼

[@mishkalarsoncreations]

I made a quilt as you go - my second quilt ever - and did it as a lap quilt. Not separate blocks. It wasn’t unwieldy.

[@susanmei9980]

I like your new hairstyle! 😊

[@astorybookfinish5055]

How is it that YT is just now serving up your channel to my feed? This is exactly the kind of content I was wishing existed. Thank you.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@deannabosch1434]

I use QAYG techniques I see on Pattern Poole TV. Monica Poole in Australia. She has KZbin videos too.

[@saffronflora]

Deanna I too have used Monica Poole KZbin videos. Makes a beautiful quilt and is cost effective too because I can quilt myself on my home machine 😊

[@NancyThompson-s5w]

I agree.

[@paula6477]

What a wonderful interview! I tuned in because I'm fascinated with quilt as you go (the binding strip method) and was delighted to find the interviewee is from the New England Quilt Museum. Just yesterday I looked up their current exhibits and planned a visit for next week. Such fun to meet the Binney Curator! The Museum is worth the trip.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Great interview so interesting. Thanks for bringing these people to us.

[@juliemorrison4348]

Thanks Karen for another interesting interview with Pamela. History and quilting knowledge amazing. I haven't heard of the term "potholder quilts" before maybe you could explain this and show samples in the future. ♥️🇦🇺

[@sewquilty]

Thank You so much for bringing out this fabulous topic. I always laugh when quilters "discover" some "new" technique that has been around for 100 years (or more). Now I need to add this Quilt Museum to my Bucket List!

[@kentvegplot]

Really interesting to listen to her , thank you for the interview

[@angelerobichaud2586]

I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

[@carolyngethings]

What a fascinating video. The more I learn about quilting the more I realise how much I don't know!!! Thanks to Pamela and yourself Karen for expanding my knowledge about quilting. Oh how I wish I lived in the USA where there is such a rich quilt history and interesting museums to visit.

[@susanodell7224]

Karen, thank you so much for this interview. I appreciate all the work you do between your actual quilt piecing, your ticks and tips, and your interviews w thoughtful questions. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never heard of Pamela Weeks, who is very knowledgeable as well. The more I learn about quilts the more I realize I don’t know. I’m putting the museum on my list too! Thanks again…. Sew-sistAH wannabe in Maine. 😊

[@lorettaclinton6604]

I met Pamela in June when I went to the New England Quilt Museum with members of my quilt guild. She is very informative and fun!

[@kasmirasmarzo]

Thank you for this podcast! I love Women’s history through quilts. On the topic of women’s suffrage, I thought I’d share a book, “Threads of Life” by Clare Hunter that I’m listening to right now. There is a chapter on the suffrage movement in the UK (Scottish author) and how they used textiles to communicate their cause. Pamela is right in that banners and sashes were used, rather than quilts. I’m recommending the whole book because the writing itself is beautiful. Especially if one listens to the audiobook. The narrator Siobhan Redmond has a gorgeous Scottish accent!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I liked the insight on the Bayeaux tapestry

[@darrelllenapayne8813]

Omgoodness Karen, this is by far my most favorite and inspiring podcast. The direction of Pamela's conversion has me reflecting on all the subjects that I hold very dear. Thank you.

[@dorrisdale6269]

I found a quilt done in this style at a thrift store in my area. It is made of individual right angle triangles that are complete and then whip stitched together to make a twin sized quilt. A large number of the whip stitching had come out and a few sections of the quilt had actually fallen out. Luckily all the pieces were there and I was able to purchase the quilt for 1 dollar. I plan to sew all the pieces back together, but expect it will take me quite a long time as the pieces are about 4 inches square when 2 triangles are sewn together.

[@marilynhardman5239]

Another fabulous conversation Karen. Thank you 🙏

[@violastraleyViola]

It's sew wonderful to come home and find another amazing interview & video from you! I love learning about the history and culture of quilting as well as the techniques. Thank you!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@margaretlavenia4634]

I had thought that historical quilts would not be very interesting but I was wrong! Thanks for sharing this interesting topic!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Lonequilter22]

I absolutely love quilt as you go. After my heart attack I had to find easier ways to quilt. I couldn't lift and tug on the quilt sandwich to quilt it. I wasn't going to give up quilting so I had to find a way. Quilt as you go changed my life.

[@mtierney5065]

Absolutely the best interview ever! Ms. Weeks is immensely talented as a lecturer, and the subject and pace of delivery kept me completely absorbed from beginning to end. I wish I lived a bit nearer!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kimhannah1632]

Love this interview. I just realized that I grew up ( in the 1960s) within a couple of miles of the NE Quilt museum. I left NE 50 years ago but I would love to visit it after hearing this interview. My Grandfather ran a pub in the 1930s and 1940s around the corner from the present day museum location! Be sure to visit the National Park there as well!

[@bierjip1]

I live in Holland and am a male quilter. I found her book on the internet, ordered it and read it. Very interesting! Recommended!👍

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

She has written several. Are you talking about the 'Portable Patchwork' one?

[@bierjip1]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I'm sorry, but that is indeed the title; should have put that in.

[@paulawilliams9645]

Thank you for such a great interview

[@TheQueen215]

Thank you! I’m going to watch again!

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Ms. Weeks lectured at my mother's guild, also in NH. Afterwards, Mom gifted me with her book! (I live 1,000 miles away. I say I belong to The Guild of Mom, because I can't join my local due to work. I digress.) After the lecture my mother's friend used her mother's old hankies and other textiles to make a QAGY hexie quilt. It's gorgeous! Someday I will get to the NEQM. My mom says it's awesome!

[@carolynrockafellow417]

Another great interview. Thank you ❤

So very interesting ! Thanks To both of you !

Awesome interview filled with wonderful information. Thank you so much Karen! I really appreciate you and your channel☺️

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@pendell168]

I too work on several projects at the same time. I will rotate a project into and out of my schedule as needed. This helps to keep me organized and not overwhelmed. I label rotated out projects as “Paused” instead of UFO. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Carol_Sews]

Great interview. Although I watched my Grandma hand quilt on a frame, my interest started when I watched Georgia Bonesteel on PBS. I have a pile of beautiful quilt blocks that I made years ago. This interview has inspired me to find a way to finish that quilt using the quilt as you go method.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Excellent. Looking forward to photos

[@susanbaker8023]

Very interesting interview. I love history.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I love when history and quilting collide too

[@evelynbaggett1960]

What an interesting interview, thank you Karen!

[@kathleenagnew157]

So excited to see this. I'm in New England at the end of September and the Museum is on our plan to visit. Fabulous timing.

[@lindachase2667]

Thank you Karen for such an interesting talk with Pamela Weeks, so much knowledge. I QAYG for most of my quilts but had never heard of the potholder technique. My first quilt in the mid eighties was using Georgia Bonesteel's method and then I went on to use the sashing method which I learned from a book by Sharon Pederson - Reversible Quilts. Thank you for your time and energy into Karen's Quilt Circle, I learn so much from you.

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Lovely conserversation ❤❤

[@angieallen4884]

Wonderful interview! As I was listening and Pamela mentioned QAYG hexies. While listening, I was checking my You Tube notifications and there was one from Jean Truelove Quilts talking about QAYG hexies! Amazing.

[@lindacyr7983]

This was awesome! Makes me want to try a potholder quilt. And next time I am up in New England will take a trip to the museum!

[@mariejohns1387]

Duscussing how quilts are not as pretty in photos, sometimes buying fabric online or in auctions online when you get it you have to grimace. It is not as it appeared. Great interesting interview!!

[@ladyhawthorne1]

No better combination than quilts and genealogy! I loved this video and plan to get her book! All my quilts at this point are QAYG as I am quilting on my Singer 404, they are all for Project Hope.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Wonderful!

[@rachelburgener819]

That’s awesome, what is Project Hope!?! I’ve not heard of that. ❤️😀
