Oh Wow, you should be a commentator. You describe quilts so well you can feel your emotions, makes you feel like your there. Great job!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you SOOOO much for doing this, Christen! I didn't get to spend much time on the 3rd floor - love this video! I shared it on my Community tab! Hope some of my subs come over and check this out!!
Thank YOU for sharing it! I LOVED seeing you there. I wish we had a little more time to chat but it was such a busy time with so much to see - maybe at the next show 🥳 I loved hearing your take on the show as well in your video.
I'm SO EXCITED TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO😃...ok- I love MOJO at 16:11 and GREEN SCREEN GREEN at 17:15. And HARBORAGE at 23:06. STRUCTURES #1 at 25:33... and more. THANK YOU VERY MUCH Christen🥰🤗 p.s. Love the GREEN BIRD at 33:54...I CAN'T STOP... lol 😆
This is the best Quilt Con video I have seen so far I can watch it again and again. It looks like Quilt Con chooses a theme for each year I'm glad they do that. Best video!
Thank you Patty! Yes, they have different categories each year that you can enter your quilt into (for example: landscape) and then choose which ones to display from there so there are many categories to enter and many categories on display so it isn't just a chaotic mess to curate. I love seeing the new ones each year! 😘😘
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this comprehensive look at the show's quilts. Thanks for the closeups and your insightful comments - very informative and inspiring.
I think that creativity and workmanship are different talents. It is unbelievable that there are so many artists who are gifted with both. These are breathtaking quilts. I would never be able to judge them. It is a blessing to watch this video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking us with you! You did a superb job of showing the quilts and commenting. I especially enjoyed all the closeups to show the stitching. Your care and effort is greatly appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it! I really wanted everyone to feel as if they were there with me. Plus, I just love all things quilts and wanted as much footage as possible myself. hehe
oh my goodness.... Lily, that is the sweetest compliment! That would be a dream job of mine! 😘😘 If you're ever down in Houston, I'd be happy to walk you throug the art museums here!
i'm gobsmacked at the sheer amount of quilting on the quilts. the colors the lines, the amount of thought that went into each quilt, each stitch. the diveristy of each quilt simply amazing. thank you for sharing your thoughts and the show with us, the tranquil music helped me enjoy your video so much more, and it was like going to a quilt show with a friend - pointing out things I would have missed. you're a gem Christen. thank you, Teri G
Thank you so much for this! I am recovering from total hip replacement and unable to attend the show. I have already viewed several RUclipsrs videos of it but yours was absolutely the best. I needed to see the piecing as well as the incredible quilting, both machine and hand quilting, for the full effect of each work of art. I am so inspired! Your commentary is also thoughtful and helpful. Unable to sit at my machine for a while, I have been planning to try hand quilting some of my orphan blocks. This has given me great ideas and pushed me to do more than I had originally thought. I am not a fan of following a pattern created by someone else so found these amazing quilts like a homecoming. I know I will watch this over and over and continue to find new inspiration each time.
Tanya, I will be praying for your quick recovery for sure! Thank you for being so sweet. The creativity here is speechless, and I am so glad it inspired you to do what you love. I know what you are creating will be beyond beautiful.
Wow my eyes had to stop and blink a few times. Thank you for share the quilts. So much to take in. So much to mull over. Lot of inspiration. ✨⭐️✨🌟✨💫⭐️✨💫🤩🤩🤩
I have to say, you have done the best at articulating about these quilts. While I do like and appreciate traditional patterns, these were phenomenal works of art. Thank you for sharing.
What an amazing video Christen!! You showcased all of these stunningly gorgeous quilts which is what we want to see!!! This IS the BEST Quilt con video on you tube!! ❤❤ Thank You So Much!!
I am very impressed with your narration of all these quilts. Your commentary just flowed so smoothly, quickly highlighting a particular technique or stitching or whatever you saw as outstanding! I really appreciated your comments and was held spellbound listening and looking at each quilt. I was supposed to be doing something quite different. Thank you for the 'quick view' of this event that would have been a pleasure to spend hours enjoying.
OMG...what a feast for the eyes, heart, soul! So I tried to write down my favorite(s) but after I wrote down about 11, I gave up! I am a huge fan of blues, greens, golds...so I ate those up but everything is just so amazing! Thank you for all the effort you put in to record this and to share...I know it's hard work. I am inspired for sure; I really loved seeing so much hand quilting; I've never tried hand quilting but I'm getting closer to giving it a whirl! I will definately be rewatching this again. There is so much yumminess(?) to take in. Thanks again. U R awesome!!!
Thank you so much for the journey you have taken us on. I agree with most of the other comments on here. Your video of the show is the best. Calming music and a super enlightened dialog. These quilt shows need to hire you as their spokeswoman. Beautiful job!!
Kristen, this was so generous of you to share the show with us in this comprehensive video. I will watch it over and over just to make sure I’ve taken it all in. Talk about overstimulation. Thanks so much.
So enjoyed! Your words about the quilt was fantastic. I mostly do charity quilts for a hospital in Africa so some of these I couldn't invision people using. At 18:49, black/gray/white struck me as these are my favorite colors for quilts for me.
Just WOW. I'm so overwhelmed I will need to split my viewing up. It's such an overload of amazing stuff. "A jumbled mind at 9:36, "I know a shortcut" 15:54, The crazy surface work on the Ancient alphabet one 21:12, and "Afterall Improv" 23:40. I've had to stop at "Quietly Quitting" 29:00. I'm only half way through. The great thing about an education in the arts and art history is that it doesn't get outdated, lol. Armed with that, one can enjoy benefits for a whole lifetime. Edit: The lesson in negative space quilting hits like a hammer. Loved the white with the black batting ones and I have questions about the the one at 44:14 with what it is backed with, or is it? The fingerprint with pinking shears -- who'd have thunk it? So much energy in Pinball and that takes me right to "Back in therapy" at the very end. Just magic! Going to reflect a while and then cast it to the big screen. Thank you a million for this! Yes, I cried a couple of times.
Jane 😘😘😘 You and I need to go to a show together. We would have an absolute glorious time together... yes, all of it was overwhelming and awe inspiring, but in the best way at the same time. Feel free to put it on your big screen - thats actually a really really great idea! I'm going to have to do that later tonight too and make my family watch them with me 😂
WOW what a great and detailled visit! Fabulous close ups and enlightening anecdotes you remembered about the artists and their techniques. I swear, I’ll have to watch and listen again!😍
Thank you, Kristen! I have ended up dedicating today to this video, every chance I've had to sit & watch carefully, in between piecing & laundry & carrying for our dog. I'm still watching. Not done yet & the afternoon is almost over. Pausing. Zooming in. Resuming. Repeating. You have done a fabulous job guiding us through this incredible quilt show!
I loved this! Thank you for compiling this! These quilts have inspired me to have some fun with some of my quilts that I’ve been wanting to make but haven’t found the motivation!!! Thanks again! I hope to go to quilt con some day!
Thank you for your commentary ! As I watched this video, I am reminded that I get to make all the decisions in the quilting process. I have the opportunity to try new stitches, and fill the spaces in ways I’ve not yet thought about!! Listening to you helps me to realize that I need to develop my ability to step out of my comfort zone, try things I’m still uncomfortable trying, and put lots of thought into my quilt making. 😊
Thank you Kristen for narrating all of this video. The quilts are all so very beautiful Wonderful techniques. Lovely quilting in the negative spaces and throughout in other quilts. Wow what great a show. I loved it. I don’t get to quilt shows anymore. Our guild stopped going on trips because the charter bus companies required two drivers for our three hour trips. Too expensive, doubled the bus fees
While I am not a fan (or maker) of modern quilts, I can certainly appreciate their complexity, artistry, and genius techniques. Phenomenal and mind-blowing! Such talent! Thank you for such a comprehensive video! While I live in an area with lots of local (and less intimidating) quilt shows, it is unlikely that I will ever get to one like this, so it is nice to have a review!
I am so glad you were able to watch and enjoy it Mara. They truly are a piece of art. Such talent and time goes into each one. Thank you for sharing!!!
Hi, I appreciate the video so much. I loved seeing all of the more modern quilting, they are just amazing. So much talent and inspiration in one place. Thank you!
Words cannot thank you enough for making and posting this video, and your commentary was excellent! For those of us who couldn't attend, you made it feel like we were there (and with a best friend beside us!) Thank you!!! 🥰💖⭐🪡
I thought when I found this video that I would be bord after awhile but I just couldn't stop watching. This was amazing and your commentary was wonderful. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. It’s the best video of a quilt show I have ever watched. Before you mentioned that you have an art education, I was thinking that you must have some sort of background in art. Your comments are so insightful, and you exude an appreciation of the artist’s thinking.There were two quilts that spoke more to me. They were on the simple side, and you passed them quickly, but there was just something about them. At 39:41 there was one in orange and purples, and at 54:50 there was one in greens and black. They are quilts that I could look at every day. Thank you again the for many hours of work you put into filming and editing this video.
I wish I could have commented on every single quilt lol 😂 I'm sorry that I didn't pick your favorite quilts to talk more about... I really know if anyone would want to hear me talk and talk and talk about each quilt. I could have easily made a 6 hour video 😂 Maybe next year I will go a little longer! Thanks so much for watching
RUclips sent me here after watching a few other quilting videos. This is amazing! You have done such a beautiful job of bringing QuiltCon to us. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for attending and sharing your enthusiastic summary of Atlanta Quilt Con. So inspiring to see these beautiful quilts, and hear your commentary on them.
Your video is fabulous! Holy moly, the quilts are truly works of art. I'm a really good sewist, but not an artist. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of those quilts. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my stars! Kristen you are an awesome commentator, I have not followed you but will now thank you for going and of all the 2023 Quilt Con videos I have watched, you have done above and beyond! Thank you ,amazing show and I can only imagine what it must have been for you to see these fantastic artists skill up close, sigh which I could have done so😔
Carol, thank you for your kind words. I am so happy to have you following and watching the video. It was an honor to be there and to see the artwork live. It was a dream come true. 😊💕
above and beyond artwork, The sheer joy of working on these project must be immense. If I took time to study each quilt I would never make it out of the building, they would have to evict me. Thank you for your presentation.
It is overwhelming and so so wonderful at the same time. I did end up staying most of the last day to get photos, but I had to keep reminding myself that I had to keep moving or I wouldn't get them all lol It was hard. At these shows I often forget to eat or drink because I'm so lost in the show.... you and I would probably not make it out a live, but we would have such a great time looking at the quilts together 😂😘😘
Double and triple wow!!! Thank you for bringing QuiltCon back with you and sharing. Such inspiration and your commentary is very informative. Can't wait for your next post. Thanks so much!!!
All the quilts were beautiful but my favorite was the Beach one. A lot of them were so different in style than what I imagined would be there. Just goes to show how everyone can create beauty.
what a wonderful and inspirational video! Your comments are with so much respect and explaining of what you did see there in live. Thank you so much, for one who has no access to such great quilt shows ( I'm from Germany, and we do not have anything like that here) this video was an opening of a window into the wonderful world of quilting! Thank you!
OH, you are so very welcome. I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed it. I did not know they didn't have things like this there, so that makes it more special that you watched my video. ❤
I have watched several QuiltCon 23 videos and this one is by far the best! I love how much time you spent videoing and your voice over explaining construction. Thank you!! Oh, yeah, my favorite was entitled Monterey Kelp. I don't remember the timestamp, and it is not my usual taste, but the colors, the quilting, it all just spoke to me.
Great job. Really enjoyed it. Just went to my first Quilt Con 2024 in Raleigh. Gad a great time. Loved seeing 2023. Super job talking about the quilts.
Thank you taking the time to display the quilts for those of us that didn't go.(And I live in Metro Atlanta!). Your sharing is appreciated. My only comment is by reviewing QuiltCon 2023, appears quilting has become more of an art form. Many of these are not for beds but an expression of art, or more of an art hanging.. Though they are absolutely gorgeous and painstakingly designed and created, I'm from the old school of Quilting. I'm impressed with those that did hand stitching or applique. For me the best in show is more of an Art Deco display, not something I think of as a quilt. Again, thanks for recording all of these for us! Great job.Kudos!
Thank you so much for this video! I was longing for someone to video all the cool quilts at Quiltcon and you did it. Can’t thank you enough. This was so inspirational.
The beauty the talent 😍 I for one could watch this all day. I’ve never made a quilt. When I was in my thirties I found a love for sewing. Then life happened and after many years I took my machine out of the closet and it’s wonderful. Lol I’m not even good at it and I love just being at the machine and omgosh the fabrics are everything.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know girl I have watched so many quilt show videos and just run across youo today. I am so impressed. By the way you do it and so thankful for your info on the Quilts. I have learned so much. Thanks for your time.
i really enjoyed this video, all those artists, and their quilts. amazing it has inspired me to do the hand sewing and embroidery i used to do ,when i was much younger.
Thank you for posting! Fantastic video, inspirational quilts, and listening to your descriptions and appreciation led me to look farther than just the surface beauty. You are inspirational and talented, thank you again.
Thank you for an absolutely fabulous tour. I feel like I was actually there. I am going to watch it again and again. I just stumbled on your tour. Your commentary made it so interesting and the close ups were stunningly clear. You have inspired me to actually get to one of these large quilt shows one day. Thank you so much!
So many favorites, the one at 48:15 is amazing to me. No where near that good but I can dream. Thank you for sharing this. I would never be able to go so I really appreciate all this effort that you are going through to share what you saw.
@ 40:44 the word you are looking for is serging. The un named quilter used different colour threads in her serger! ' rainbow fans ' are called the Baptist fan quilt pattern. Thank you for helping me to see the white quilt with the black batting! I wouldn't have known that without a guide.💗
Thank you so much for sharing. I didn't get to go this year. I'm looking forward to the 2024 show. I, too, love the use of machine and hand quilting intermixed on one piece.
Oh Wow, you should be a commentator. You describe quilts so well you can feel your emotions, makes you feel like your there. Great job!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, my friend. I am in awe at how many people have loved the commentating for this video. I could havegonet longer I guess. 😆
Kristen, your diligence to showing so many, the editing, voiceover, music … so so good 👌🏻😍🫶🏻♥️
Aw thank you! I appreciate you noticing the work that went into this video. It really means a lot Monica! 😘😘
Thank you SOOOO much for doing this, Christen! I didn't get to spend much time on the 3rd floor - love this video! I shared it on my Community tab! Hope some of my subs come over and check this out!!
Thank YOU for sharing it! I LOVED seeing you there. I wish we had a little more time to chat but it was such a busy time with so much to see - maybe at the next show 🥳 I loved hearing your take on the show as well in your video.
I'm SO EXCITED TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO😃...ok- I love MOJO at 16:11 and GREEN SCREEN GREEN at 17:15. And HARBORAGE at 23:06. STRUCTURES #1 at 25:33... and more. THANK YOU VERY MUCH Christen🥰🤗 p.s. Love the GREEN BIRD at 33:54...I CAN'T STOP... lol 😆
I love that you love them all. That makes me so happy!!!! I feel the same way. 🥰
The Green "Purdy Bird" was a group effort made by my quilt guild - the Lawrenceburg Modern Quilt Guild. So glad that you liked it!
Oh YES!! I Love it very much 🥰♥️
This is the best Quilt Con video I have seen so far I can watch it again and again. It looks like Quilt Con chooses a theme for each year I'm glad they do that. Best video!
Thank you Patty! Yes, they have different categories each year that you can enter your quilt into (for example: landscape) and then choose which ones to display from there so there are many categories to enter and many categories on display so it isn't just a chaotic mess to curate. I love seeing the new ones each year! 😘😘
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this comprehensive look at the show's quilts. Thanks for the closeups and your insightful comments - very informative and inspiring.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad it was inspirational for you to watch 😘😘
Hello Kristen, I am Speechless over the Beauty of each Quilt❣️
I will be watching this Again and Again to Absorb ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank You So Much, 🥰 Chris
You are so welcome! I'm watching also, I just can't get enough of them.
Those quilts were awe some, just beautiful.
I wasn’t able to go to the show, but your video is the next best thing. I really appreciate the time you put into this excellent video!!!
I am so happy I could share this with you, maybe next year we both can go! 🥰
I think that creativity and workmanship are different talents. It is unbelievable that there are so many artists who are gifted with both. These are breathtaking quilts. I would never be able to judge them. It is a blessing to watch this video. Thank you.
That is so amazing to hear. A little splurge here and there is worth it in my opinion.
Thank you so much for taking us with you! You did a superb job of showing the quilts and commenting. I especially enjoyed all the closeups to show the stitching. Your care and effort is greatly appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it! I really wanted everyone to feel as if they were there with me. Plus, I just love all things quilts and wanted as much footage as possible myself. hehe
The quilts were amazing. But your commentary actually brought me to tears. I felt like I was walking through MOMA with the most amazing private guide.
oh my goodness.... Lily, that is the sweetest compliment! That would be a dream job of mine! 😘😘 If you're ever down in Houston, I'd be happy to walk you throug the art museums here!
i'm gobsmacked at the sheer amount of quilting on the quilts. the colors the lines, the amount of thought that went into each quilt, each stitch. the diveristy of each quilt simply amazing. thank you for sharing your thoughts and the show with us, the tranquil music helped me enjoy your video so much more, and it was like going to a quilt show with a friend - pointing out things I would have missed. you're a gem Christen. thank you, Teri G
You are so welcome! Yes, I was so overwhelmed at the amazing talent, and creative minds. It was all just an incredible experience.
Thank you so much for this! I am recovering from total hip replacement and unable to attend the show. I have already viewed several RUclipsrs videos of it but yours was absolutely the best. I needed to see the piecing as well as the incredible quilting, both machine and hand quilting, for the full effect of each work of art. I am so inspired!

I am sorry you were not able to attend, but thank you for watching!
Thank you for showing us the quilt show! You did a wonderful commentary!❤
Cheryl, it was an honor to be there and put this all together. I am glad you loved it. ❤
Wow my eyes had to stop and blink a few times. Thank you for share the quilts. So much to take in. So much to mull over. Lot of inspiration. ✨⭐️✨🌟✨💫⭐️✨💫🤩🤩🤩
hahaha - I love it! Yes! So much inspiration to take in at one time! 😘😘
I have to say, you have done the best at articulating about these quilts. While I do like and appreciate traditional patterns, these were phenomenal works of art. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you for the sweet compliment.
What an amazing video Christen!! You showcased all of these stunningly gorgeous quilts which is what we want to see!!! This IS the BEST Quilt con video on you tube!! ❤❤ Thank You So Much!!

This has totally made my day. You are so kind, thank you. I am so happy you enjoyed this video and these beautiful quilts.
I was not able to go this year and appreciate so much your video of all these fabulous quilts. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the journey you have taken us on. I agree with most of the other comments on here. Your video of the show is the best. Calming music and a super enlightened dialog. These quilt shows need to hire you as their spokeswoman. Beautiful job!!
OH wow Loree, that is too kind of you!! I might love that job now that you mention it. hahah
Wow! The artists are just amazing. They did an awesome job. Well done! Many people do not realize a quilt can be an art piece.
Oh, they are indeed. All the work and time that goes into it. It is art for sure!
What a fabulous collection of quilts ! Thank you for sharing , I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to see these works of art in person !
You are so welcome! It really was amazing to be there and see everything up close. I will remember it forever. 😊💕
Kristen, this was so generous of you to share the show with us in this comprehensive video. I will watch it over and over just to make sure I’ve taken it all in. Talk about overstimulation. Thanks so much.
The whole show was overwhelming, but amazing all at the same time. I am so happy to hear you will watch it again.

Feel free to put it on your big screen - thats actually a really really great idea! I'm going to have to do that later tonight too and make my family watch them with me 😂
Great job on showing us the quilts. Loved up close views, the extra info on the quilters and your excitement for them. Thank you
You are quite welcome. I had just as much fun sharing about these, as seeing them in person. 🤩
WOW what a great and detailled visit! Fabulous close ups and enlightening anecdotes you remembered about the artists and their techniques. I swear, I’ll have to watch and listen again!😍
I did my best, so all the viewers felt like they were there. I am so pleased you watched and liked it. Thank you!😊💕
Thank you, Kristen! I have ended up dedicating today to this video, every chance I've had to sit & watch carefully, in between piecing & laundry & carrying for our dog. I'm still watching. Not done yet & the afternoon is almost over. Pausing. Zooming in. Resuming. Repeating. You have done a fabulous job guiding us through this incredible quilt show!
Aw thank you so much, Kate! You afternoon actually sounds really lovely 🤩 I hope you enjoyed the quality quilty time!
I loved this! Thank you for compiling this! These quilts have inspired me to have some fun with some of my quilts that I’ve been wanting to make but haven’t found the motivation!!! Thanks again! I hope to go to quilt con some day!
That is so wonderful to hear! I can't wait to hear about what you create, and maybe next year we can meet at the show.
such excellent 🤩photography and YAY only modern quilts🥳😉 A paradise of inspiration😁 thank you for sharing😊
You are so welcome! Everything was really an inspiration in a different way. It was such a great show.
Lots of chaos and crazy color combos!
Thank you for your commentary ! As I watched this video, I am reminded that I get to make all the decisions in the quilting process. I have the opportunity to try new stitches, and fill the spaces in ways I’ve not yet thought about!! Listening to you helps me to realize that I need to develop my ability to step out of my comfort zone, try things I’m still uncomfortable trying, and put lots of thought into my quilt making. 😊
You are so welcome! Yes we have the freedom to try anything, it is artwork.
Thank you Kristen for narrating all of this video. The quilts are all so very beautiful
Wonderful techniques. Lovely quilting in the negative spaces and throughout in other quilts. Wow what great a show. I loved it. I don’t get to quilt shows anymore. Our guild stopped going on trips because the charter bus companies required two drivers for our three hour trips. Too expensive, doubled the bus fees
You are so welcome! Oh! That is sad they did that, but I am so glad you were able to go in the past. They are wonderful!
Thank you so so much for sharing this wonderful quilt show. I will probably never get to see them. I am so grateful to you for sharing.
Angie
You are very welcome Angela, and maybe one day it will all work out for you to go.
I've never seen so much beauty in one plce. Your pace of comments was just right
That is so kind of you. Thank you Wendy!
This is the third and BEST quilt con video I've seen. We'll done. Thanks.
That means so much, thank you! 🥰
Beautiful interpretation and articulation of these quilts. Glad I found your channel. Thank you 😊

❤❤❤this was the best quilt show coverage I've e ever seen. ❤ the way you zoom in close for details. Thank you
Wow! You are very welcome. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully, I get better at each show.
Hi, I appreciate the video so much. I loved seeing all of the more modern quilting, they are just amazing. So much talent and inspiration in one place. Thank you!
I totally agree! It was a dream to see all of these!
Words cannot thank you enough for making and posting this video, and your commentary was excellent! For those of us who couldn't attend, you made it feel like we were there (and with a best friend beside us!) Thank you!!! 🥰💖⭐🪡
You're very welcome!
I thought when I found this video that I would be bord after awhile but I just couldn't stop watching. This was amazing and your commentary was wonderful. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Loved all of the quilts but your presentation was over to top best I have seen could have watched it all day. Thank you!!! You did an amazing job! 😉
Wow, thank you! That is so very kind of you! ❤
Best Video of the quilt show, loved your commentary! Thank you sooo much for your time doing this.🥰🤩😘
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

I really know if anyone would want to hear me talk and talk and talk about each quilt. I could have easily made a 6 hour video 😂 Maybe next year I will go a little longer! Thanks so much for watching
That show is spectacular. Such beautiful workmanship. Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us. Truly enjoyable. Lots of ideas.
Glad you enjoyed it, it was an amazing show for sure! I cannot wait to go to another.
RUclips sent me here after watching a few other quilting videos. This is amazing! You have done such a beautiful job of bringing QuiltCon to us. Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing all these beautiful quilts and for pointing out the details. They really are amazing works of art.
You are so so welcome!!!
Thank you for sharing all of these amazing quilts !
Thanks for watching! It was my pleasure to put this together. I really did enjoy it.
Excellent presentation! I mean really excellent! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! That means so much to me!
WOW!!! Amazing quilts!!! I really liked the Ray Charles one with the french knots. Thx for making this video. So INSPIRING 🤩
You are so welcome! It is so inspiring to see all the ideas, and talent. It has my mind going.
Thanks for attending and sharing your enthusiastic summary of Atlanta Quilt Con. So inspiring to see these beautiful quilts, and hear your commentary on them.
It was my pleasure, I enjoyed every second of it.
Oooohhhhh.. 25.00 mins in.. that's sooo beautiful!!! 🤩🤩
I"m so glad you loved it Rebecca. They all are amazing to see.
Your video is fabulous! Holy moly, the quilts are truly works of art. I'm a really good sewist, but not an artist. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of those quilts. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing that. They really are a piece of art.
Great video, I loved the quilts. Thanks for creating this video😊
So glad you enjoyed the video! 😘😘 Perhaps next year will work out for us to be there together!
Oh my stars! Kristen you are an awesome commentator, I have not followed you but will now thank you for going and of all the 2023 Quilt Con videos I have watched, you have done above and beyond! Thank you ,amazing show and I can only imagine what it must have been for you to see these fantastic artists skill up close, sigh which I could have done so😔
Carol, thank you for your kind words. I am so happy to have you following and watching the video. It was an honor to be there and to see the artwork live. It was a dream come true. 😊💕
above and beyond artwork, The sheer joy of working on these project must be immense. If I took time to study each quilt I would never make it out of the building, they would have to evict me. Thank you for your presentation.
It is overwhelming and so so wonderful at the same time. I did end up staying most of the last day to get photos, but I had to keep reminding myself that I had to keep moving or I wouldn't get them all lol It was hard. At these shows I often forget to eat or drink because I'm so lost in the show.... you and I would probably not make it out a live, but we would have such a great time looking at the quilts together 😂😘😘
Double and triple wow!!! Thank you for bringing QuiltCon back with you and sharing. Such inspiration and your commentary is very informative. Can't wait for your next post. Thanks so much!!!
You are very welcome. It was such fun making this.
Kristen, thank you for your presentation. You have inspired me to try modern style quilting. Am a big fan of yours now.
OH wow!!! That is amazing to hear, and I would love to see any work that you do. How exciting!!
This video makes me wish I was there. I haven't gone to any quilt shows. I look forward to going one day. Thanks so much for sharing.
Yes, I hope you can go to at least one. They are amazing!
All the quilts were beautiful but my favorite was the Beach one. A lot of them were so different in style than what I imagined would be there. Just goes to show how everyone can create beauty.
You are so right about that. There is beauty in everything, even if it is not our style.
what a wonderful and inspirational video! Your comments are with so much respect and explaining of what you did see there in live. Thank you so much, for one who has no access to such great quilt shows ( I'm from Germany, and we do not have anything like that here) this video was an opening of a window into the wonderful world of quilting! Thank you!
OH, you are so very welcome. I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed it. I did not know they didn't have things like this there, so that makes it more special that you watched my video. ❤
5 thumbs up! Thank you for sharing your experience and artistic insight. Good choice of background music. I will watch the entire video again.
Awesome, thank you! That is the sweetest compliment.
Thank you, Kristen for this video! It was fabulous! I look forward to seeing more of them!
You are so very welcome. I can't wait to do more.....although they do take a lot of work. :)
Thank you for sharing the show with me...a quilter in Australia xxx
Thank you for watching Alexandra! That means so much!
I just get utterly overwhelmed watching this. Have to stop and then come back to it. Each one is magnificent! Thank you for sharing your photos. 🤍
You are so welcome! It is overwhelming indeed, they are so unique in their own way, it is hard to take it all in.
I have watched several QuiltCon 23 videos and this one is by far the best! I love how much time you spent videoing and your voice over explaining construction. Thank you!! Oh, yeah, my favorite was entitled Monterey Kelp. I don't remember the timestamp, and it is not my usual taste, but the colors, the quilting, it all just spoke to me.
Pamela thank you for that. That means so much!! I found also, that some I wouldn't think I would love were my favorite. 🥰
This was a love letter to quilting. It must have taken forever to put together. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Yes, it was quite some work, but I loved it. Thank you for saying that.🥰
Great job. Really enjoyed it. Just went to my first Quilt Con 2024 in Raleigh. Gad a great time. Loved seeing 2023. Super job talking about the quilts.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you taking the time to display the quilts for those of us that didn't go.(And I live in Metro Atlanta!). Your sharing is appreciated. My only comment is by reviewing QuiltCon 2023, appears quilting has become more of an art form. Many of these are not for beds but an expression of art, or more of an art hanging.. Though they are absolutely gorgeous and painstakingly designed and created, I'm from the old school of Quilting. I'm impressed with those that did hand stitching or applique. For me the best in show is more of an Art Deco display, not something I think of as a quilt. Again, thanks for recording all of these for us! Great job.Kudos!
You are so welcome and thank you for watching. Yes, the theme this year was more of a modern quilting. They are definitely works of art!
Thank you so much for bringing the show to my home. It was fabulous.
Any time! I am so so glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for this video! I was longing for someone to video all the cool quilts at Quiltcon and you did it. Can’t thank you enough. This was so inspirational.
That means so much to me Martha. Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you so much for showing so many quilts!
You are so welcome!
OMG sew sew many awesome quilts to love and admire.
Haha, I love what you did there! And yes, we were in awe!
The beauty the talent 😍
I for one could watch this all day. I’ve never made a quilt. When I was in my thirties I found a love for sewing. Then life happened and after many years I took my machine out of the closet and it’s wonderful. Lol I’m not even good at it and I love just being at the machine and omgosh the fabrics are everything.
YES Marie, I totally agree. Just being at the machine is such a great feeling. I love your attitude and can't wait to hear all the things you create.
Thank you for commenting on the quilting also. What wonderful work.
Thank you! 😊
What a recap! Enjoyed your commentary as well as the beauty of the tour!
I am so so glad, that makes my heart happy.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know girl I have watched so many quilt show videos and just run across youo today. I am so impressed. By the way you do it and so thankful for your info on the Quilts. I have learned so much. Thanks for your time.
Shena, thank you for that sweet compliment. I am so glad you watched, and liked it. It was such an amazing show. I wanted to share it with all of you.
Thank you so much for sharing, it reminded me of the shows I attended years ago. So much talent, beauty and inspiration in one place.
You are right about that. The talent is out of this world.
i really enjoyed this video, all those artists, and their quilts. amazing it has inspired me to do the hand sewing and embroidery i used to do ,when i was much younger.
Wonderful! I would love to see some work you do!
Thanks for sharing. Stunning quilts!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for posting! Fantastic video, inspirational quilts, and listening to your descriptions and appreciation led me to look farther than just the surface beauty. You are inspirational and talented, thank you again.
You are so welcome! I'm glad I was able to share! I will have another video next month on the Houston international quilt festival quilts 🥰
@@ISeeStarsQuilting Oh, awesome!
Excellent video! The photos and commentary are a great match.
Thank you so much for watching.
WONDERFUL....planning my trip to Raleigh!
Such a great job, in your presentation and insight of the quilts.
Thank you so much my friend.
46:00 is my favorite hands down. It's just gorgeous.
I totally agree! Stunning!
Thank you for an absolutely fabulous tour. I feel like I was actually there. I am going to watch it again and again. I just stumbled on your tour. Your commentary made it so interesting and the close ups were stunningly clear. You have inspired me to actually get to one of these large quilt shows one day. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! It was amazing to be there, and I loved putting this video together.
Kristen, so well done thank you. Great pacing and commentary.
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed making this video.
Such a great video, I could have watched for at least 1 hour more and had to go back sometimes. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Julia, that is so sweet of you. I am so glad you loved it.
Love seeing the quilts Inspired
You and me both Patricia. I just want to create all the things now. ❤
What a wonderful way to spend time being inspired and in awe. Thank you Kristen for you hard work in getting this video together. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for watching and loving it as much as I do.
So many favorites, the one at 48:15 is amazing to me. No where near that good but I can dream. Thank you for sharing this. I would never be able to go so I really appreciate all this effort that you are going through to share what you saw.
You are so welcome! I'm so thankful you were able to watch.
@ 40:44 the word you are looking for is serging. The un named quilter used different colour threads in her serger! ' rainbow fans ' are called the Baptist fan quilt pattern. Thank you for helping me to see the white quilt with the black batting! I wouldn't have known that without a guide.💗
Thank you so much for that Jayne. I need other's help with some of this. ;) I am so glad you were able to watch and share that!
That was amazing! You did a fantastic job. I am SO inspired from this video thank you!,,
You are so welcome! 😍
Thank you so much for doing this!!! Such a pleasure for those of us who couldn’t go. Just amazing! I just subscribed. ❤
Thank you so much Gail. That means the world!
Thank you so much for sharing. I didn't get to go this year. I'm looking forward to the 2024 show. I, too, love the use of machine and hand quilting intermixed on one piece.
Yay! I hope to see you there. It really is so neat to see both in one piece.
Thank you so much for this video I enjoyed it so much . Loved your commentary.
It was my pleasure. I loved making it!
Wow, this video exploded my brain with inspo! ❤ TYFS!
It really does. I could look at these over and over.
