This is awesome. I’ve never really understood improv before. To me this looks like the chaos and noise of life (the brights) dissected by the occasional calm (black and whites) with some balance thrown in (the leaf shapes). Amazing 💜 Thank you

I love what you are doing with fabric and patchwork. It is inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

I love the colors you are using. Very cheerful! The circles really added motion to the piece. My first thywas you were creating exotic plants or leaves. Maybe use the black and white piece under the circles but then that maybe just a bit to much. Have fun creating.

I really enjoy watch you doing things off-the-cuff! Love your channel. I’m getting better at choosing fabrics that give me more freedom to try different things. I thrift a lot of fabric and am getting a better eye. Also love your ideas and process. Very helpful

New to your channel and am loving your content. Your designs really speak to my creativity, which I am just beginning to discover with textiles. Thanks for sharing your vision.

I love the colors and pattern. So creative!!

Loving this ! The colors are up my alley❤

Please explain why you do soooooo much talking? It’s toooo much, sorry 😢

Hi Karen. What happened to the first curved piece you put together? I love the second one - it looks like the shape of a bird in a cage to me 🤔

❤❤

Love the crumb quilting, and the colours you've used are beautiful 😍

I obviously like it with the bias black and white striped strip 🙂I definitely think the background needs extending if you are putting three joy pieces across. I like the circles, but you know I'd say that!. I'm interested to see how quilting the joy pieces separate to the background turns out - I would never have thought of doing that but then that's why I watch; to learn from you! Thanks Karen.

Love your thought process❤

Your wormhole quilt is beautiful!

I enjoyed another of your videos. I like the choices you made of a bit less blue and the small black and white stripe going through it. I will look forward to seeing the added swirls and longer background piece.

Thanks so much for sharing 💙💙💙

Thanks so much for sharing 💙💙💙

Thank you for your tutorials, they are great for me as I am a beginner at curves and improv designs.

I love 3 and 3a. Can you add a ‘pop’ of sea glass in top left of 3a? Or not what you had in mind? Still love, love Alice 👍🏻

I like the added sand to the sea glass quilt. I don’t know how you are Dale to choose the design you want to work on! I frankly liked several of the choices but each for a different reason. Alice turned out fabulously! I think I would go with facing all the way around Alice. I don’t think she wants anything to distract from her! The binding would frame her but I don’t think she would like being contained. She is to much of a free soul. Have a great week sewing!

I enjoy your videos so much. I think in a similar way and appreciate hearing a thought process that hits a cord with me. I like 3 with it share division -BUT I like 3a because it has more room to add a couple of larger sea glass pieces. The sea glass right now is a bit too uniform. By adding a couple of larger pieces of glass will give it a bit of air and a randomness to the random glass shape

Love, love, love Alice!

3 is my favourite and facing all around Alice Wondering 🙂 To be honest I have never thought to combine facing and binding - I don't know why. However back to your beach glass and sand - how about one of the more layered ones but with white all the way round as a border - a very wide border?

❤

3a and 5b, I like 5b because it tells a story. Im not sure what that story is, but with the few sand grains above, it seems they have escaped. Your Alice is a masterpiece. It's wonderful to have seen how you put it together and how wonderful it turned out.

3a.

3A is lovely, but what shows at 40:16 for a fraction of a second exactly by mistake is my favorite composistion. (3A and 5 visible at the same time) there is a triple juxtaposition happening. The density against the negative. the segreated seaglass against the overlaping circles and the cool against the warm. The bottom edge of the sand that overlaps onto the glass section (the only place it does) is a stoke of compositional genius. The small spray of sand at the top just brings a perfect amount of ballance.

I simply love watching you work! I enjoy your projects.

This is a fabulous video! Thank you. Been quilting fir several years but stay away from curves - until now. Definitely going to practice curves using your tips. I also have a Pfaff that I love ❤️

Very pretty

I love this block. It’s different, and incredibly interesting! Happy sewing!

Love this !!

I wish you had shown how you pieced the initial crumbs together. It was a bit confusing for me.

I love this concept. Not a quilter but a clothes maker. My spin on it will have narrower white strips around the glass and even have some of the connecting strips will be glass. But none of my glass strips will touch, or maybe they will. And I'm not a fan of white or black so I will sub a tan or dark ecru. If I subbed charcoal grey for white then I'd use off white, light ecru, pale yellow and maybe pale seafoam green and palest blue. Either way I 'd have to incorporate a touch of amber (beer bottles) in either colour way I choose. Great idea!! Thank you. Wishing you a safe and happy 4th!!

File folders are indispensable in the sewing room. They make great templates too. This poppy project is really cool (as are all of your projects).

❤ the colorway you chose and sea glass inspiration. Excited to see where you take this. 😊

This is fun! Love beach glass.

Love the colors of sea glass. You have a good start. Hope all goes smoothly with quilting. Looking forward to seeing Alice all done. She has been a fun one to watch as she developed into a quilt.

Hope you and Betty are getting along and quilting beautifully. Beach glass is looking interesting - interested to see how she develops.

beautiful

You should have your decisions made before. Too much gibberish talk that Makes no sense. 7:25

Hello Karen, I squinted and saw what you meant about the ‘plaid’. Not sure I like the two blocks with the black and white stripes in this? I know it’s your signature’ fabric but they drew my eyes in, away from others. Hmmmmmm 🤔🤔. I find your mind fascinating though 😉🤣. Take care

You are such a good artist - I love your designs - and colors. When I first saw your X blocks/quilt I immediately saw the edges of your quilt as is - not a square or rectangle but just blocks protruding out from the sides in an irregular non conforming edge. What do you think? Thank you for all of your ideas and instructions. Looking at your quilts is like going to an art galery.

Love the poppy quilt. X quilt looking good. I think the stripes looked great but not so sure about the circles; maybe when it's bigger. New long arm sounds exciting - hope it all goes well.

❤

Your timing on this is perfect! I don't have a mount scrapmore, I have a scrapmore mountain range! I've been trying to find a good pattern to use a lot of it up and I really love this one. I never have been good about staying "in the lines", so it's a great design to use. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with all of us ❣️

Oh, how fascinating! I’m curious to see how you fit the irregular sizes together.

Your X quilt is interesting. A thought I had when I saw it laid out was making X in rectangles. This would fill in some of the irregular holes. I did like the black and white stripes. How about using an assortment of multi-colored stripes on solid fabrics? Can't wait to see the next stage of this project. Thanks for sharing.

I love those poppies!

I love what your working on this week. I haven't dropped in to see what you are doing for awhile. I'm going to have to spend the summer catching up..
