Hello everyone. I am so pleased to have Bobbie from Geeky Bobbin on the show. She's such an amazing quilter and was very generous in sharing her knowledge. If you have any questions that I didn't ask, please put them in the comments below.
Hi - I wanted to make sure you saw this - you were all I could think of when I was watching this one - I kept thinking "Just Get it Done Quilts will understand this on whole other levels !!!" ruclips.net/video/48sCx-wBs34/видео.html It's about non-repeating patterns ! "The Infinite Pattern That Never Repeats" Published Sep 30, 2020 already has 4,810,899 views! :)
Anyone else here just adoring the tula pink shirt that Bobbie made? Glad I'm not the only one who saw the fairy dust fabric and just had to make clothes out of it 🤣
Wow! That was awesome. Love your series. You helped me clarify where I am at with this topic. i.e. I think I have always dreamed of selling patterns. I realized from this video that I am NOT one of those people who is seeing designs everywhere and I definitely am SO overwhelmed when she went into the different marketing legs! The entire process is huge! Too much for me! So good for me to put that notion to rest and just enjoy my sewing and buying other peoples patterns! Thank you and good luck to Bobbi who obviously has slaved away at this and is able to reap the rewards! Bobbi you are a lovely person and so generous to share your experience!
Love the video with lots of information. I’m one of those people who wants a pattern, I don’t want to figure anything out. I want a pattern that is laid out in simple thorough instructions. Thanks Karen, this was great, now I’m going to check out her videos. 👍❤️😊
I really appreciate this series. One area that I really wished you had covered was the tools to write the pattern. What programs, how you can become profient, what works and what doesn't work as well? Thanks for doing these wonderful interviews.
I really enjoy your videos including another quilter. They are so fun & just something different! Although I may not quilt their style I thoroughly enjoy listening to their tips & techniques!
Karen,,, I LOVE this series. It’s great hearing from other people in the field..wish I could upvote this twice!! ps.. hope your son continues to do well..!! 👍😎
When I was in Italy on pilgrimage, I saw quilt patterns everywhere in the cosmatesque mosaic flooring of medieval churches. If you like quilt patterns, look up some images. They are fantastic.
People need patterns because, well, we need patterns. I can't imagine anything more discouraging as a beginner than a raised eyebrow from someone who "gets it" when I don't. Improv is so fun but some of us still need a little help from our seasoned quilter friends. If it were easy to slam a pattern together off the top of our head, we wouldn't be subscribing to our favorite quilting mavens on RUclips. ♡
This was a great interview-love this new feature on your channel. I work at a quilting magazine. I’m the person that gets to keep the quilts for 3-9 months while the designer waits. 🤓🤓🤓
Super interesting information that I'll tuck away in the ol' gray matter for later. :) At this point for me though, the self publishing route seems absolutely overwhelming to think about learning about new to me social media, illustration software, making contacts, etc. etc. etc. I'm so behind on it all it'll take awhile to catch up...and once I think I have, everything will have changed again. :)
Hello Karen: Thank you for a wonderful guest interview!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this. I have sewn my whole life and recently accomplished my first quilt 😀😀😀. I’ve always known there was a lot to the other end of patterns, but whew😬... I’ll leave that stuff to y’all and be thankful I can gather patterns😝🤪. ❤️😀
Fantastic video, thank you so much Karen, I have some applique patterns I have been designing and I was unsure what I needed to do, this video answered so many questions. X
Thank you ladies. I agree, so many medieval churches, cathedrals and abbeys here - even ruins still have some tiles. A fair few could be ideal to replicate as applique work, but super for inspiration all the same.
Thank you so much- as a quilter that is looking to get her designs out there, this was invaluable-being able to get some really solid advice and avenues to explore, I now have a clearer picture on what path I want to take. Even fleshing out my website, with some other tutorials to show others how I do what I do. Many thanks to you, Karen, and to you, Bobbie for your most excellent tutorials and I am very interested in signing up for your e class on Instagram. Live long and patchwork!!!!
I loved this interview. I currently publish cross stitch patterns in Just Cross Stitch Magazine, but I want to expand into quilting as well and this interview gave me so much to think about and consider. Thank you so much for having her on the show and sharing her knowledge. I'll be signing up for her class shortly. :-)
@@GeekyBobbin Very similar, especially the waiting! LOL It took so long for them to get back to me on my first pattern that I assumed they didn't want it and almost gave away the stitched model. And then I had to wait 9 months before I actually saw it in print because they publish so far in advance. As a matter of fact, I just sent of the final charts and stitched model off to them today for the Halloween 2021 edition. So now I have to wait a full year before I see it printed! LOL
I’m just a beguinner, but it’s really interesting what is she saying. I live in México and we just have to buy imported fabrics and books or magazines to get some ideas for our quilts . Thanks for all the advises that you gave . Thanks 🙏
I have to admit to not having any idea what the designer was talking about when she kept saying tetris quilt. Then she said "tetris game" so I googled tetras game and was directed to tetris game, then I went on and googled tetris game quilt pattern. Now I know what a tetris game quilt pattern is. Not something I'd do, but interesting to look at. I tend to design and work with far more traditional patterns. If I do buy a pattern it will be for something like a paper pieced unicorn head wall hanging. Normally, I will simply save a picture of a quilt block and save it in my desktop quilting file. When I decide to use it, I'll grab my graph paper and colored pencils and work up a design.
I would like to know how they avoid getting sued for copying another person's pattern. I've seen quilt patterns that were the same as some I've seen previously and I don't for a minute believe that theft was involved. It's logical that we would all come up with same or similar ideas over time. Also, I'd like to know about fabric design. Often I look at fabric and think how I would have done it instead. Do designers really draw all the images or are there programs or templates? How to contact a company with an idea? Do you have to be exclusive to one fabric company? Great video. Looking forward to more.
[repost from IG] What makes an idea for a pattern “mine”? What makes a pattern unique enough to be different from someone else’s? So many patterns seem to be variations of the same blocks (sometimes it seems just variations in fabric) .. how can anyone claim, for instance, a quilt of 6in HST blocks as “their” pattern when it’s all been done before? Really curious!
Basically you should expect the following: How much yardage of various fabrics to make the size quilt that you want to make Ironing instructions so seams fit nicely Border yardage Batting and backing yardage Suggestions that help you make the top so that it lies flat Color suggestions Tool suggestions Potential quilt designs Basically information that enables you to construct the quilt in the size you want. Look for patterns that have multiple sizes.
Good question! I would say, this process would be similar in nature to writing 'music'...and could ask the question, what makes my song unique? It is just variations of words and musical notes...so I am guessing that as long as your pattern is different enough, it would not violate copyright laws. Also, one should keep all sketches/thoughts/jotting notes down as 'proof' as to how you got to your pattern, to show that you indeed come up with the pattern on your own...even if it ends up similar to someone elses...just to show good intent!
If your question is what makes a pattern copywritable check out Just Wanna Quilt podcasts, website and ask questions on the Facebook group. Interesting question lots of answers.
Anyone that writes patterns need to have several people test it before selling it. Nothing is more aggravating than cutting fabric and finding out the pattern was wrong so you have to go more fabric.
This has been so interesting. I am a beginner and have made three simple quilts so far. I love the design element, but am scared by the technicality of sewing it!
Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️💖 BOSTO: BE OF SERVICE TO OTHERS Sharing your channel & Bobbie is BOSTO.... SENDING A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT OF LOVE TO SURROUND THE UNIVERSE 🤗💞💖🤗 AND EVERYONE 🤗❣️❣️
How do you see a pinwheel runner together? How many blocks do I need? Guess u can tell this is my first time. I have made a pinwheel block and never have made a runner. I watch your videos and I r so good at doing so many different things.. I thought I would ask you first. My name is Ann and I'm from Cincinnati Ohio. I hope I'm not bothering you and you got some spare time to help me out. Thank you 😊😊😊
Lol @karenbrown it is an obsession. I accosted a young man in a convenience store to ask if I could have him turn his back to me and stand still for a pic of his jacket back for a quilt pattern. Thankfully he was quite a sport about it.
If anyone needs help digitizing their pattern I am also part of Karen's Facebook group or just send me a message here. I am a graphic designer and I have helped other quilters digitize their applique patterns. So if you can only sketch but you have a scanner or even a smartphone you can send me your sketches with the measurements and I can put them in a PDF file for you . I work in illustrator but if you're not a designer you may not know that illustrator is a vector program so you can enlarge the elements without distortion
agree with her totally. I've always wondered why someone needs a pattern. Most often I can figure out how to make a design without help. And the math ?? For many questions I want to scream at them to go back to grade school. 2+2=4 always has always will. Obviously I'm not known for patience :)
You must understand that people come to quilting for many reasons. You and I are attracted to the math. Others the precision. Others the community. And so on. Please don't judge others too harshly and go to the dark side of quilting.
Lol. I'm a math type person. I have the skills. BUT. When homeschooling my child I realized that there are different types of math intelligence. A person can be very intuitive solving math and statistics problems and puzzles and patterns of all sorts -- but be actually pretty poor at calculating or even remembering multiplication facts. Some kids are human calculators; they are only a segment of the population. Modern schooling can really prevent the development of good math skills and the development of the intuitive knowledge that a child might have picked up in previous generations just through daily life. It's been proven that advanced concepts introduced too quickly at earlier grades will prevent developing that math intuition. Poor kids... But there's another end of it. As I age, I seem to make more calculation mistakes. (And spelling. Lol) There are times I'd rather just have a recipe to follow if I can trust it. And some of the quilters who might struggle with the math and layout might also be the ones who have a great color and pattern sense. Or more freedom of moving forward. Bless them, they might be the ones who finish a quilt when I dither over color choices. I would definitely choose to be more productive using someone else's pattern. (Since I have a problem with getting it done. ) Different strokes for different folks.
GloriaAnn there are times when I just need to whip something up without having to do all the thinking (and finding all the mistakes) and it's so great to have a pattern to turn to then 😁
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts trying not to judge - that's why the comment about my patience. I was 3 times voted best bookkeeper in Canada so obviously my math skills are better than most . My problem is that so many ask questions that a 2nd grader would know the answer to. As I said Patience -- said sheepishly
@Scullery Maid I don't think I would call myself color illiterate.I know all the names of all of the colors. I already knew about tone, hue, and shade for instance well before Karen's videos... At some time in my life I had some art classes. I remember mixing up paint and creating my own color wheel for instance. And I can tell what will coordinate with something else mostly. But I am color challenged in some way and I'm not sure how to verbalize it. I think it's a lack of experience... in mixing all of these patterns and colors. I know some people just come by that naturally and don't need the experience. (A friend's daughter just walks up to a stack of fabric and points to this that and the other and puts them together. She's a natural. She doesn't hesitate about decisions with fabric. ) Others of us have lessons to learn and I do believe that most of us can learn with enough practice and with help like we get from Karen's videos. One of the things I have really appreciated about these videos is when she takes the time to create exercises for us and show us how to do them. I think following through on those exercises can't help develop some of these skills. I expect there are many times things to be learned, not only about color and pattern, but about techniques while using someone else's pattern. [Edit, for grammar. Stupid autocorrect is the only phrase my autocorrects gets perfectly all the time. Lol]

Karen, I love all your tricks and tips in all your videos. But, WOW! there are far too many ad's on this one. I actually, seriously considered ending the video. A couple ad's I can stomach but this was over and beyond in this session.

Some people are good artists, some are good crafters. A rare number are both, good crafters and artists.
I absolutely loved this interview! Thank you so much for your wealth of information about patterns and the creative process. 👍
I have gotten one from the flooring in a public restroom. It looked like it would be fairly easy to make and could be done in many different fabrics.
Glad I’m not the only one taking pictures in bathrooms! 😂🤪😎
This is a great new series on the channel. Thank you so much for expanding on topics and sharing the wealth of knowledge that's out there!
