Making Friends, Getting Inspired at The Quilt Festival 2023! Part TWO

[@jacquielawrence5670]

I think it's lovely that Anna now has the bug, well done

[@iquiltasigoalong]

The way you interview is very respectful towards the person you're talking to Kate. Thank you for this episode.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

thank you - I hope to listen and respect the person - they were all so interesting! xxx

[@Chercher4848]

You, my friend, are very interesting & lovely. You do a very good job interviewing. ❤

[@melfranklin6034]

Thanks for sharing Mr. English’s work. I have 2 old quilts that need repair and his bold quilt work has given me courage to tackle it without worry for matching patches.

[@belindaleighfrazier8165]

Yes thankyou❤

[@eileencollins8799]

One of the loveliest things about The Festival of Quilts at the NEC is meeting and talking to smashing people from all around the world.

[@susanlamb7431]

Very enjoyable especially the more radical designs and concepts.thank you.

[@fernwinslow1941]

What makes Chris's quilts so precious in my eyes is how unprecious they seem to be. Its like they just happen, the product of a passion of creative working that just needs to unfurl itself and ,'happens' upon the final resulting quilt. I love that.

[@1Glitterado]

FABULOUS VIDEO 🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@scottydog6539]

Lovely video with Anna. So very nice.

[@amandajayne2619]

[@MsRita1921]

[@happysewslove]

Very inspirational! Loved watching as always! Thank you!

[@kellipage2858]

Lovely, Absolutely Lovely🙌🙏

[@vickicrowther4116]

GREAT video Kate! Thank you.

[@pamglasco8353]

Kate I love your channel. Started watching as I recovered from knee replacement surgery. It always amazes me how small the world is sitting on the soft green sofa. You interviewed Joe Cunningham at the quilt show. I work in Flint Michigan and when Joe said he was from here I was so amazed. I am now following his channel. Please keep the content coming you always bring joy to my day.

[@sunnyw4148]

Another lovely visit to a quilt show for those who could not go

[@elfherself3200]

I could watch you and your friends all day😊

[@deedaw9246]

Ive seen 2/3 of this man's quilts, and they are nothing compared to what you do. The one you made for Agnes is just breath taking. The one Anna did, was so delightful. I hope you don't compare yourself to his work.

[@janettecopestake320]

Thank you Kate for sharing. Talking to such inspirational quilters as they explain their quilt stories makes me realise why we love quilting. I look forward to seeing Joe here in New Zealand (I do hope he manages to visit).

[@annehayward3506]

Thank you Kate and Anna for letting us join you at the festival of quilts xx

[@chowchops]

What l love is the freedom to make a quilt that isn’t perfect, yet is well executed and artful. I have been a quilter for over 30 years and was taught to quilt with tiny stitches and your piecing had to be perfect. Very daunting. But now we can appreciate the point of handmade, and part of the beauty is that it isn’t perfect. Machines make perfect, not humans.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

good! break the rules a bit! there room for all styles! xxx

[@peachesandsugar1]

Your quilt is like looking down on a flower garden from a ladder, just amazing how you have arranged the colours, anyone can do strips, blocks and triangles, yours is the best in the show.

[@ArtFiber212]

Thank you!!! That was a wonderful video!!!!

[@marvellamatthisshelton7238]

To roam greets me with respect

[@chrisdanskin2992]

Nowhere Man brought a tear to my eye (in a good way). Thank you Joe Cunningham x

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

It was one of my favourite moments of the whole few days! xxx

[@stephaniesnape6787]

I absolutely love Chris English’s quilts. My type of quilter.

[@Padraigan13]

[@sandyharris5822]

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Thank you so much Sandy! Sorry I missed this. Thank you for supporting me here xxx

[@janemarriott3389]

So nice that you have run into "my guy, Joe" and you got to talk to him. Isn't he genuinely such a nice person. Brilliant

[@doreensherk287]

I enjoyed the interview with Joe Cunningham he is very interesting and so talented. I also enjoyed Chris English.

[@meagancuffynettey6682]

I loved this so much. Thank you very, very much. Made me feel I was there in the thick of it with you. It's the best of being a Quilter...our community is fantastic and you are excellent at what you do.

[@pamhillabolt8179]

All these beautiful quilts and designers made me think of a new KZbin quilter. Dave’s Craft Room - is amazing.

[@edithschmitt3898]

You have a natural charm that is so pleasing to watch....thank you for this delightful visit to The Quilt Festival!

[@kb9847]

Glad to have seen an update with Chris. I was wondering if he'd have a quilt in this year as well. :)

[@vickiebasu1080]

Such a wonderful show. It was nice to “meet” so many people with you in the interviews. Have a good rest.

[@gillianedwards5667]

Thank you so much for your videos on the Quilt Festival! So exciting! I laughed a little when you were talking with Joe Cunningham and mentioned the different words in different countries - you were not just at a loss for words, you were outright "gobsmacked"!! Thank you again for sharing so beautifully!

[@debbiewedoe2564]

What a fun fun time. Loved seeing all the different kinds of quilts and people. The mountains and countrysides were very beautiful too Enjoy your Home Sweet Home, always good to get back home. 🌞

[@GiselleMetcalf-Grosso]

I first watched a video of yours to see what your crumb quilts were like. I have subscribed, and am having so much fun tagging along on all of your creative endeavors. Your smile and enthusiasm are infectious!!

[@dianalamm9938]

It's art and I love it. The quilt you displayed is beautiful, from afar it looks something like the heavens.

It’s not just a quilt but a piece of art, made with love!

[@ljshaw8516]

Glory days Kate and Anna - I got my internet back and have enjoyed your Quilt Festival Part One and Two. I cannot travel so I appreciate the lime green sofa and everywhere your channel takes me. You are a friend on my screen and if I saw you in person, I'd have to give you a big hug for all the joy you've brought to my Chromebook screen! Thanks again!!

An Act of Peace🕊

[@isabellbourke8878]

Thank you Kate and Anna for showing and talking to inspirational people and the quilts they made. I loved every moment of your visit to the quilt show. ♥

[@pamlacey136]

What a fantastic video!! I absolutely loved it. I live in the US and, at my age, I will never get to attend your quilt festival. So you sharing this has given me a glimpse of something I would otherwise never have seen. Thank you so much for sharing all of it with us. It is such a treasure, and I am looking forward to seeing what the two of you do with your new fabric stash!!

[@victoriaratajeski6843]

I am not a quilter, but I love seeing all of these beautiful creations, and all of your interesting interviews with the quilters there. Thanks for sharing!

[@charlotted6247]

Kate looks like a Queen strolling around admiring the quilts. ❤Warms my heart❤❤❤❤

[@bethkoch11]

So nice to watch. And I love those gorgeous Liberty fabrics.

[@debrablanson2288]

Lovely video with such genuine ladies❤❤❤

[@lindachase2667]

Thank you, thank you, I am a huge fan of Chris English and Joe Cunningham. A few years back I watched a video of Joe quilting with the quilters at Gee Bend, so nice to see him again And always a fan of Liberty fabrics, thank you Kate and Anna

[@pebblecritter]

ABSOLUTELY fabulous! I have to live vicariously through you until I get my new hip (ugh... renovations on the old woman have started....). What I love is the stories - that we would never hear if you hadn't taken the time to share them. Thank you for that! The train ride home is always special, isn't it? I like trains - they're very soothing and when you're on your way home from any sort of festival, it's that lovely relaxing sound of the train that means you can just sit and unplug for a few hours..... Thank you so much!!!! xxx

[@gwynwellliver4489]

It's amazing what people can create with fabric! Thank you for taking us along for a wonderful time.❤

[@pamcox8582]

Going with you to a quilt show is exciting. Thanks for taking us.

[@susienikodemus5668]

Thank you so much Kate and Anna for taking us along to this show. I love hearing the stories about how the quilts where inspired.

[@annesullivan1171]

[@mojow9841]

Thank you for another brilliant walk round the quilt show. It is inspiring to see what talented folk can do with some colourfull fabric, imagination and time. I really enjoyed the interviews. Thank you Anna for all the filming I hope you enjoyed the quilt show too.

[@MsSherryjh]

Thank you, Kate, for your wonderful interviews. And thanks to all of the wonderful people who displayed their talents, and to those who organized this wonderful show.

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

You just can't beat going to a show and seeing all the inspiring quilts , seeing the beautiful fabric , feeling it and soaking up that atmosphere, I'm glad I can buy on line as I'm house bound , but if I could I would be back at the shows in a heartbeat, that's why I enjoyed watching you going around the show so much , and listening to the interesting people you got to talk to . Fantastic

[@yarnexpress]

I was both surprised & delighted to see Joe, the quilter, Cunningham at the show. Long, long, long time admirer--if I ever come into a ton of money, one of the first things I would buy are a couple of his quilts.

[@lucy7b]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

Look at all the beautiful designs and stunning colors each one has a story to tell love the video bless you lots lovely lady.
