    I'm Anita Huber who won 1st place 1st time entry in this film. This is a fantastic documentary about real people who love what they do "QUILTING" I'm so blessed and grateful that Olivia Loomis Merrion unexpectedly captured me and included my story in this film.
    Olivia, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love it! 💖💖💖

    Due to the Covid pandemic, quilt shows have been canceled for 2020. What a disappointing time for quilters who want to gather and share their love of fabric art. The quilt community is hoping that 2021 will bring back these celebrations of a beloved and important craft. Thank you for making this video.

  • @cattuslavandula
    @cattuslavandula 2 года назад +1

    I love this film. No matter the art/craft/hobby, there is no feeling like being with others who share our passion. The ability to talk shop and appreciate the items we create is very powerful and joyful.

      There are actually a lot of younger women (and men!) who quilt as well but who can't attend these kinds of events because of jobs and children etc. It's not just old ladies!

    This is great video. Feb. 16, 2024. I had the pleasure in 2007 of visiting Nashville for a quilt show and staying at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Wow! What a fantastic trip. We had a day trip to Paducah and visited the Quilt Museum. Also Paducah fabrics. It was blazing hot outside, thank goodness for air conditioning. Marion in Oregon.

    I am fairly new to quilting. We don't have quilt shows in the UK that I know of. I found my love of quilting through Utube. I now see Eleanor, Jenny and Donna. I have learned so much from those beautiful ladies. My first throw size quilt was A Trip Around The World taught by Eleanor Burns. Thank you so much to you all.

    This is an enjoyable and sweet video and as comforting as a big hug. I went to Paducah a couple times with some friends in the first few years of the show. Even after all these years, the AQS shows were always the best quilt shows anywhere. I’ll admit my eyes got a little leaky as I was reminded of the many dear friends I’ve made through quilting.

    This was awesome. I am a newbie Quilter inspired by Jenny Doan, Donna Jordan and Eleanor Burns. Due to the stay at home because of Covid19 I had to find me a new hobby so I started the Quilt trend. Seeing this video and seeing all these beautiful Quilts inspires me even more but I am no match. I have laughed with these ladies " Quilters are nice people until there is only 2 yards in the bolt" and cried with Anita Huber, your quilt is beautiful. Now I want to go to Paducah.

      Awe Thank you Carol. I was shocked that my quilt received a ribbon. I was ecstatic when it was excepted. When I was crying I thought that I was hiding, Olivia marvelously captured me when I thought that I could not be seen. I'm so grateful that she was there making her short film documentary. Absolutely love this film.

      Alan Peters no one I know quilts, so for me it’s my sweet solitary pursuit, but love watch quilting shows and videos....pleases me to see others enjoying it too. I finally arranged my sewing room in the most comfortable setup, even if I’m not sewing, I’m cutting, or watching videos dreaming of the next project. My husband knows he can find me in my sewing room.

      @@Kate98755 that's nice that you have a place you can go and immerse yourself in something you have passion for, my mother did not have a room dedicated solely to quilting or sewing but she always talked about how she wanted one, it was her happy place when she was quilting but as she got more I'll she couldn't anymore, thanks for responding, I think of her everyday but this just made the thoughts that much more special. Take care and enjoy your sewing room 😊

    Eleanor Burns had a book in the late 80s Quilt in a Day. I used that book and started a quilt and demonstrated that technique and that piecing method in my college speech class. All of my speeches were about quilts. My classmates called me the quilt lady.

    Elenor Burns made a stripper out of me! So happy to see this as our quilt show in New Braunfels, Texas was cancelled and then the International Qui.t show in Houston was cancelled!.. Quilters are always happy to share fabric, and knowledge. I normally hang out with some quilters but because of the virus the bee and the Guild hasn’t met. One of our ladies posted I MISS MY PEOPLE! And that sums it up. Thanks 😊

    I'm a little surprised there is no mention of the quilting phenomenon that is Missouri Star and Jenny Doan. She and her family have brought quilting to so many people and made it accessible with their free videos. Almost every quilt I've made came from one of her tutorials.

      loriar1027 Agree! I see dear Eleanor, as that “grandma” everyone loves, for our quilt generation. She brought quilt inspiration right into our homes. It seems Miss Jenny, was handed the torch to carry it on. She’s everyone’s favorite neighbor lady! Both are down to earth, salt of the earth, folks. No “above us” expert attitude it’s always fun and happy! They share with and include, family first; then generously to ALL, the tender love and joy of quilting. They’re our big and little sisters, with a God given gift of infectious Quilt Charisma! ❤️

    This was a lovely and moving short film, but as a quilter I could not help but notice what I notice every time I attend a quilt show, class or guild meeting: the average age of the quilters in the room. I know quilting is something many of us cannot take up seriously (let alone afford) till the careers are done and the family raised, but I am concerned that we are not really seeing the numbers of young quilters coming along that the industry must want to see, and that we older quilters would like to know will take up the baton.
