Karen, I'm sorry I miss seeing you at Quiltcon this year, never ran into you. Sarah, I recognized you by your voice only Saturday night at the show. Lovely to meet you.

[@magdaherbert]

Great interview, such a talented lady, thanks for sharing

[@leeannguiette1950]

Great interview. Thank you for having her.😊 Lee Ann

[@dralbora]

I enjoy meeting designers who also use Adobe Illustrator. I'd love to confer with more quilters who do this. Thanks for bringing Sarah to us.

[@abigailthompson4456]

I prewash all of my fabric, with synthropol, but not with hot hot water. I have hand washed some batting...it is a pain to handle wet.

[@sandramyer7081]

Loved this- so interesting 💕Afghan such more Art for me!

[@sandramyer7081]

Sarah is interesting how she did this designed and didn’t use curves-listening to design first and then black and white later. Design is more important- more thinking and precise how the fabric works- great interesting how she works- no improv - thank you! Her family had some unconcious effect from Afghanistan- so interesting! Thanks again- Sandi Myer

[@barbaralazier8352]

What a busy lady. Good for you, know your present limitations. Bravo you found a way to get the bleeding out. I will add that technique to my tool box.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you. I hope that you feel better soon

[@laurajustice4275]

I loved this. I am fairly new to quilting, and this really resonates with me. I love designing my own patterns, I am very precise, and I don't love scraps.

[@janinefesler3399]

Great interview ! I'm excited to continue to experience Sarah's creative work. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Sarah's quilt is very modern looking to me. I've never tried any modern quilt patterns. I love her quilting.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

They are very clever

[@herlindeclark5488]

What a great interview!

[@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens]

I like how she uses the word precision vs. perfection. It kind of lifts a weight off the shoulders.

[@sherriejohnson508]

Looking forward to seeing this thank you

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Hope you like it!

[@juliemorrison4348]

Interesting interview Karen. 👏🇦🇺

I enjoyed listening to this.

Welcome Sarah👍

Great interview.

[@seanjones843]

If you make a quilt without the Batting do you need a walking foot to sew on the binding?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

do a tester. There will be less movement between the layers but only a test will tell you what works

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Yes you do. It will prevent the fabric from travelling.

[@madelineking9104]

🎉❤😊

[@rochellepeters7431]

Great interview! You mentioned Audrey, who does micro quilting adjustments. What is her last name? Does she have videos? Thanks!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

The Modern Quilt guild has a big event once a year called Quiltcon. If you are any where near Raleigh NC, get yourself there. Third week in Feb

[@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens]

What does she mean by “blocking” the quilt? She said she is a “quilt blocker”

[@barbaradrentlaw597]

What what the product she used for getting the bleeding out of the fabric?

[@franpatzcraig6713]

I'd like to know too. It sounded like "interpol"?

[@SarahMuslim]

Synthrapol ☺

[@barbaradrentlaw597]

@@SarahMuslim Sarah, I can't believe how great that worked. I used it on a quilt and no more red bleed. It worked great on 2 sweaters that had bled through even washing in cold water. Thank you so very much for the information. I'm in Minnesota so we wear quite a few sweaters in the winter.

[@SarahMuslim]

@@barbaradrentlaw597 I'm so glad it worked for you!

I'm convinced this creator is a wizard. How else do you explain this magic?
