You are teaching us how many parts and interests of our life is integral to our quilting interests. Thank you Karen. Thank you Valerie.
Loved Valerie’s analytical and cerebral approach, yet arty and organic. Architects are so interesting to me for that reason. Thank you for bringing her to us!
OM gosh... that woman is an INSPIRATION! Thank you so much for introducing her to me.
Karen, I love your questions for your guests. It shows your curiosity and genuine interest in wanting to highlight your guests experience and talent. Thanks!!
Thank you
I loved this interview. As an earth scientist, my last job before retirement was creating maps using an online tool, ARCGIS. I loved how she combined both her passions-inspiring!
I can't "like" this episode enough! Valerie Goodwin is such an interesting lady. Thanks for introducing me to someone who I'd otherwise never been able to "meet". You rock!
I congratulate you on one of the best interviews I have ever listened to. You asked questions of depth. You allowed her to shine.
Thank you
Love it!!!! She wanted to break the rules b4 she knew them that's great☆☆☆ This is how new ways of doing things are started....very cool great interview!!
Thank you
I totally related to this! What a great interview!
WOW, WOW, WOW. I was just listening to this, and I thought, Well, Of Course, Architecture, maps and quilts go together perfectly. And then I looked at her work!!!!! We'll just take all the straight lines we had imagined and set them over here, you can grab one or two as you need them. WOW! This stuff is INTENSE!!!! Yep, maps -- but in quilt. Amazing work!! Niche. YA! WOW! Just WOW!
Thank you for this video. It's wonderful to learn about a unique and successful quilter. I love Valerie Goodwin's work!
I love the depth of your questions Karen. It brings the interview to a level that is as rare as it is interesting and inspiring.
This has to be one of the most interesting interviews you done. You always ask such great questions for your guests that help your viewers to get to know who they are and how they come to create their quilts. Who would think to create a quilt that looks like a map? If a quilt show needs a commentator, you should be the one. While watching this I imagined the room I was sitting in at the time as a quilt!! That was a fun mind pic. Love the quilt of your dog. I’ve become so used to watching your videos I look for one everyday when I get home from work.
It’s such a relief to know that other quilters, especially ones of Karen’s and Valerie’s stature, that have such strong positive and negative feelings during the course of working on a piece. I feel like I’m in good company now. I absolutely love starting projects and have many going at any one time. I also feel hugely inspired when I finish a project.
Good job interviewing this most interesting guest. I loved hearing her process.
This was my favorite interview to date.Bravo. Valerie Goodwin’s approach is beautiful and outstanding.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another fantastic interview Karen! You're interviews are always so well researched, and you have a gift for asking engaging questions, and you put everyone at ease! Thank you, we learned so much and cannot wait to do more research!
Oh, thank you Karen this interview with Valerie Goodwin hit home with me. My early year were filled with architectural drafting and auto body design drafting and I naturally flowed into quilting. I'm always looking at Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass to make a quilt out of. I love how she brings these two worlds together. I aspire to be like Valerie when I grow up 😉
A wonderful interview with an inspirational lady. Thank you.
Another wonderful interview. I’m so glad you’ve done these, as it introduces us to people in the quilting community that we might not have had the opportunity to hear from. And you’ve chose such interesting subjects. Valerie is a beautiful lady and her quilts are intriguing.
So interesting to see and learn about Valerie’s architecture influence in her quilts. Cheers!
As a Cartographer earlier in my career, Valerie's expressing her artwork using Cartographic ideas and concepts has opened my eyes to exploring untraditional ways of expressing myself in my future of quilting. Very good and interesting interview. Thank you.
I was thinking the same thing! I'm a physical geographer but I had been missing the cartography side of my life as of late.
Wow. I agree that this is a great interview. I am so grateful that you interviewed Valerie Goodwin so that more people can learn about her art and her teachings. WOW! Loved the interview!
Karen, these chats are so well done! I've just watched two in a row - the one with Irene of Sugaridoo and now this one with Valerie Goodwin. Very different realms of the quilt world, but both interviews were so interesting, full of good information and inspiration. Congratulations!
Valerie's one of my homies! So glad to see her featured on your channel. Love her work.
Then you know how amazing she is
Thank you so much for sharing the HOT MESS comment. What a relief! Great interview :)
As a secretary to an architect, I now completely understand where Valerie's inspiration comes from.
What an interesting concept of quilting, Karen you are able to bring out the best in the people you interview, thank you for another great discussion.
What a great interview. Thank you for exposing us to different kinds of art quilters.
I am so pleased to introduce many of you to Valerie. Her work is so interesting and her journey to find her niche is one we can all learn from. So grab your sewing and a cup of tea...enjoy
What happened to no captions on this one .??? In the past videos, it was captioned .
Very interesting and informative so different from other quilts many thanks
@@CynthiaLMann sometimes they need one day to create subtitles, just wait.
I really enjoyed Valerie Goodwin's perspective on fabric art! Thanks for featuring her!
Master class!
Valerie's work is really neat! Taking any one of her classes would be so interesting. She must have been a fantastic professor. I bet her architecture students miss her on campus. Thank you for another wonderful interview!
I totally agree! She would have taught the best classes
I’m so inspired by Valerie’s work!!
Thank you and Valerie for an very inspiring guest interview.
I love this. I love her. I love you. I love maps and land and history and quilts.
I know. IT's the trifecta for me too
You are a good interviewer! You have insightful questions and you allow the guest to fully answer them. These interviews are so interesting.
You are an excellent interviewer! Thank you for another enjoyable episode. 👏❤️
Thanks for listening
I just love all your interviews. They have opened my little life to such a wonderful world of quilters. Who knew you could combine architecture with quilting!! Thank you so much!!
That was a really good interview. A chat with a non-traditional fiber artist who quilts is a breath of fresh air 💕🌱
A great interview Karen, thank you
Interesting lady, fascinating work. Thank you.
Omgoodness, Karen & Valerie: This was so interesting!!! Your questions and her answers were... I just don’t know how to put it🤔😬. I know nothing about architecture, and a little about sewing🤪. To think that you put both world together is just welllllll, whodathunk?!??!
Thank you both ❤️😀
Magnificent interview. I am taking a 5 day class with her in July. I am very excited!
What a fascinating woman. I've never been exposed to mapping on a quilt and find the idea most interesting. I think I will explore this avenue of art and expression. Thanks for the links. Truly fabulous.
Oh I have to speak to Valerie on one point: regarding has she passed her love of quilts on to family? Sometimes these things skip a generation, or get found late in life. I myself have been around my grandmother, and great grandmother's quilts all my life, and now I am 68 I am starting my first quilt. Both died decades ago, so they never knew, which is my only regret. And if you don't mind me saying it - your work is definitely inspirational to me, so some of your love of quilts has passed on to sisters unknown, by other mothers. It's what artists do, they inspire people.
PS
Are you or have you ever been a professional interviewer? That is a very difficult thing to do - and you did it wonderfully. Focused on her and what she could share with all of us that was inspiration - WOW. Thank you Karen!
Thank you...learning as I go
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts
That is the best way to teach, I am sure you know that. Learn something then teach it by example.
wow - spectacular art quilts, thanks for having Valerie Goodwin as a guest
Wow❗ The caliber of quilt legends your interviewing is mind blowing. First Susan Shie, now Valerie Goodwin. I almost fell off the couch.
I remember the first time I saw one of her quilts in a magazine I was mesmerized. I tore out the page and pinned it on my design wall. I could not figure out how she did it. With each new quilt I became more enthralled. And finally she published a book. What a treasure. I've admired her work from the start. It would be an honor to take a class with her or see an exhibit in person.
Great interview. Who's the next legend? How about Nancy Crow?
Wonderful interview. Thank you for sharing. It certainly sparked some new ideas and inspirations as I start my newest chapter in sewing. I can relate to Valerie's comments about wanting to be too precise. It has been a true journey, for me, to be able to allow myself to be more abstract.
Thank you for exposing us to this process. Amazing work!
she is so interesting... thank you for sharing her
I would love for you to interview Valerie again. 🥰
Very interesting interview, now I’d to check out her works. Thanks for sharing your talents and Valerie’s talents.👍❤️😊
Oh My, this lady is a fascinating quilter
Awesome.!!! Check out the quilts used as messages, maps, and directions on/ for the under ground railroad...
Trouble with precision, corners and rules? I can relate to that. I wanted to be a free spirit rather than make traditional quilts. Really enjoyed listening to this interview. Thanx.
Very interesting interview, Karen. LOVE Valerie's work!!
I had never seen Valerie’s work before. It’s amazing and so interesting. Will be googling her work to see more. I cannot travel anyway in none covid times so I am thankful for the increase in virtual classes and connections we have now. Thank you for another great interview Karen.
What an inspirational interview! I loved getting to know valerie’s work! Thank you!
Wow, how incredible and that quilting has so many facets, I learn something new everyday. Thank you so much for having Valerie on! I'm from south Florida and hope to get to meet her someday.
That was fascinating! I am a map geek so this really spoke to me. I am in SW Florida. Maybe I can convince my quilt guild to invite her to give us a class. Exciting. Thanks!
I love this interview. I have been toying with making a quilt that is an artsy image, or abstract, of the island my son lives on. It is 5 miles by 2 miles wide so I'm not sure the trueness of the scale I will use but I'd like to show his street, house and favorite spots. It will be quite the step outside of my comfort zone but it is something I plan to try.
Valerie is a very impressive and inspirational artist. Thank you both for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us!
Very interesting, Thank you for another fascinating interview. What a nice and inspiring lady.
Amazing topic, very informative. Beautiful quilts.
What a delight! I love your interviews, Karen. You have such great guests and it's so cool to see someone with such a different aesthetic and technique than the more traditional/geometric types of quilts. I was not familiar with Valerie or her work and this segment really widens my own perspective on what kind of quilts I would like to make. Map haiku sounds particularly fascinating - Definitely gonna check it out! Thanks and keep doing what you're doing!
Karen,
Valerie Goodwin is such a talent & inspiration. Her presentation & your Q and A were dynamite. You both are helping me find my niche!
Thank you!
I have been following Valerie on Instagram. I love her work and photos. She has made me think out of the box for some of my quilt designs. This was a wonderful interview. I would like to learn to lazer cut my fabric. I don't know where you would go for this technique.
Isn't her Instagram feed amazing. I am always inspired by what she high-lights
Fabulous interview. What an amazing artist - so much to absorb. Once again Karen - you enlarged my world!
From one Valerie to another your interview with Karen is amazing. Your story is fascinating. I hope to someday see one of your masterpieces in person! Thank you, Karen, for another fabulous interview! I love learning about artistic people. Sending love from Virginia.
So enjoyed this interview - thank you for doing these chats!
She is brilliant!
Wonderful interview! Your questions were excellent. Valerie is very inspirational.
Amazing art works. I really enjoyed this one - thanks Karen!
Absolutely loved this! Incredible interview and Valerie is an inspiration in creativity!! I’m so relieved to hear that I’m not alone when I feel like in the middle of the quilt, I messed it all up! When it’s just the process.. now I’ll breathe better!! Lol 😝 ❤️❤️
My son just graduated from FAMU two weeks ago and I am dragging out all my UFO’s to ‘correct’ this summer. I always wanted to be an architect. Who knows what some of the UFO’s will turn into.
Thank you, Karen! Architecture snd geometric sculpture have inspired my most recent quilts. I’m also a grammar enthusiast, writer and ESL teacher. I laughed and clapped when Valerie said her biggest mistake was breaking rules before she understood them. Like, I really should take a class in sewing machine maintenance! 🤣 😭 Then I want to take one of Valerie’s classes.
Very Interesting although I think I would have to see one of Valerie's pieces in person to really get an idea of her quilts. I can't really get a good feel for them in a picture.
I thoroughly enjoyed this talk. I've wanted to try my hand at art type quilts and this was very inspiring!
This lady is amazing and your questions are intriguing. Thank you so much.
This is so interesting ,inspiring & helpful!
How inspiring! Thanks.
Thank you Karen for your interesting interview with Valerie.
How very unique! Great interview. I will be looking for some of her quilts.
Fascinating,, just a fascinating woman!
Thank you for yet another wonderful interview.
Much love from Ohio!!
Outstanding Q and A. Beautiful quilts. Thank you.
Very nice interview. Thank you!
So inspiring. Thank you both.
Karen, I love that quilt hanging behind you!! ❤
Such an interesting, unique angle on quilting in this interview! Thanks for the brain stimulation, Karen 😊
Fantastic interview.!
Fabulous interview with an inspiring quilter. I love non-traditional quilters and your questions were insightful. Any chance you will interview Bisa Butler?
I enjoyed the discussion of Art and Architecture and the ways of using
fabric as another way of both- even separate. she can use Quilting as a traditional blocks or using free expressions with maps and drawing-
I loved it and want her journey and it will be my collage as well
I'm in a "hot mess moment" right now! My reverse applique is something of a Frankenstein's monster. But I'll keep going! Fascinating stuff, quilting is truly an art form that stretches you intellectually as well as creatively
An amazing lady. Thank you for a wonderful interview.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow ... This is so interesting!
Loved it I'm a Nontraditional quilt maker I found her very inspiring
Wow I'm AMAZED at what can be done. Wonderful interview. So much in the brain 🧠 🤯
I love you series of interviews.
What a delightful interview. It’s also helped me think more about pursuing my own creative ideas 😊
Would love to see you here in New Zealand, Thank you Karen for this interview
I can identify with your guess. I was an architecture student until I had to give it up so to family reasons and in would love to have te time to go back to it and turn it completely into my quilt. Love the interview
