    Thank you for sharing your visit and for giving us time to get a good look at the quilts. The colours, imagination and skill on display were so inspiring. Kudos to Paul for his great camera work too, first time I've watched a video from a quilt show without getting motion sickness! 😂

      Agree 100% Paul did a fantastic job! It's great to be able to see the stitching up close and to be 'walked' around the show without getting dizzy or seasick because the camera is in good hands! Thanks Paul!

    I was there also. My sister joined me on Friday. We both would go up to a different quilt and say "Wow"! Each one was amazing. I read that over 2000 quilts were entered and 481 were chosen in this juried show. The talent is incredible. And I also read the information about each quilt. That brings it alive. I enjoyed seeing them again through your eyes.

    What a weird or random thing for me to comment on but I couldn't help but notice how many quilts you stood next to - complimented your outfit and vice-versa. Best in Show quilt, Miss Make's quilt, the 'purple shirt' quilt, coffee and cream quilt... and on and on. I think the fact that you wore solids - you didn't 'compete' with the quilts on display. Great video work, Paul. I was so tickled for you each time you saw a subscriber - I can just imagine how thrilled you each were for that experience. I'll be watching this again as I really enjoyed this.

    Thank y'all so much for sharing your trip to Quiltcon! I loved seeing the quilts that y'all found the most interesting because I love your eye for color and texture. Thank you Paul for taking really nice close ups of the quilts. All of the handwork was so amazing! Cathy, I felt the same way when I first tried a long arm last fall at the Sewing Expo. I've picked out the one I want already, with a small footprint, and it's just a matter of time. The texture on the quilts from the quilting just inspires me even more! Have a great week!

I am not a lover of brown tones but that quilt was stunning! I bet it was sooo hard not to touch and stroke those beautiful quilts. I am such a tactile person that they would have had to tie my hands behind my back to keep me from doing just that! Lol. So happy you got to enjoy that experience. Bet you had a BLAST! ❤️🥰🤗

    I'm really inspired by the ideas when mixing hand quilting with machine quilting on the same piece of work.
    And who wouldn't want to play on a long arm machine?
    Thanks for sharing this.

      I loved that hand-quilting and machine-quilting mix too--it feels like it opens up possibilities for some creativity and freedom to explore!
      PS the longarm quilting machine was SO FUN! 🥰

As a (former?) performer, and budding artist, that's the most difficult skill to own. That's your superpower! So appreciated. PS. You should definitely challenge yourself to do the most negative space piece, you can design.
