Thank you Karen! I have had a crazy year and have missed some of your videos - now I have a few on my list to check out because of your recap. I don't know the best way to submit questions - can I do it here? My all-time favorite video of yours is STASHBUSTER 6 -THE NO-FAIL LAYER CAKE METHOD. This one is on my bucket list. However, I know the different block options must finish in different sizes, right? Would you consider a remake of this focusing on one quilt (instead of 3) and review the finishing sizes and how to get all blocks to the same size without losing points and such?

I can't believe that you, like me, have the same two obsessions! I have been doing both for around 30 years and realise that if I indulged both as much as I wanted to I would not eat or sleep. Coming to the end of genealogy and ready to start writing up the family lines. But plenty more quilts to be made!

I love the way you work with your stash and scraps! No lyrics, no worrying, Absolutely practical way, breaking down this big and overwhelming process into edible pieces! My sister already made 2 small blankets just being inspired by your engineer-brain (i hope you will understand what i mean😅) approach to quilting! Thank you so much for everything you do!❤

I am one of the many people who drove up the views of your QAYG video. I had watched so many but yours is the only one that makes practical sense to me. The top two videos of last year may have proven we are all trying to use our stashes and scraps!

I'm a subscriber and I'm not even a quilter. But, I love watching what you do. And sometimes your advice is universal for quilters and non-quilters alike. I think that's one accomplishment most people haven't considered. Keep it up in the new year!

Oh, my heart goes out to you as you deal with TN. I suffered through it for about 4 years. Meds didn't work. I now know why there is a 40 per cent suicide rate. The nearest surgeon willing to operate was a thousand miles away. Then as I was making plans to go, just as quickly as it came on, I went into remission and have had no serious episodes for a couple of years. They call it remission because it could come back any time. I will surely pray that you have a miracle such as mine.

I have been one of your subscribers since your early days. I love the way your channel has grown and developed. You are still my go-to person for quilting advice. Tomorrow will be day one of my first Declutter Challenge which I am really excited about! Wishing you a happy and healthy 2024!

Collaborations and dissolutions are difficult. You Maple and Eucalyptus quilt is beautiful and definitely took a lot of work. Here's to 2024!!! I love your channel!!!!!!

Dear Karen, I’m 76 and one would think that at this age there would no longer be such things as ‘girlfriend breakups’ like the high school days. But that just isn’t the case since we are all human. I’ve experienced several breakups myself and they are hard. After all. We have invested our time, internet, hearts into those people and it hurts. Some of my breakups were just in my side when I realized that I just had to let some people go who have been in my life for ever but they were no longer building me up. So I let go. No more birthdays cards, etc. and guess what. They must not have missed those things from me as I’ve heard nothing from them which proves that I was the one making the effort to hold on. Other breakup did hurt but seem to have been repaired. I’m trying to remain positive that everything will be ok moving forward but honestly, we are the same people so it may be just a temporary fix. If so, then I have to just have the confidence that my Lord knows who is best for me to have in my life and He takes care of it. The pain passes after a breakup but we can’t allow it to taint the good memories. Good for you in just picking yourself up and moving in.

Thank you for letting me be part of your journey. You have helped me more than you know. Blessings for 2024!

I remember watching your videos when you first started, it’s hard to believe it’s only been 5 years that you’ve been doing this. It’s been fun to watch your confidence grow with the channel and lovely to see how far you’ve come. You deserve the success you’ve achieved. 🤞🏻you reach your 400K goal by Valentine’s Day, you don’t have far to go. Hopefully the declutter challenge will bring you enough new subscribers.

I spent some time today in my sewing room in preparation for the declutter challenge and found surprisingly that I don’t need to do the challenge! I have incorporated your strategies throughout the year. My machines are cleaned and oiled. My work areas are neat and organized. It was a surprise to realize using your tips as I go, has made the start of my year a breeze. I ended up reviewing my project plans and calendared (tentatively) the year. Thank you. You are the best!

Great job!

You have inspired me to start quilting. I’m starting with small projects. My seam ripper is getting a work out but I’m not stopping! Thank you so much!!!

About your jaw pain... I had jaw pain back in April. It was accompanied pain on the back of my arms, across my chest from shoulder to shoulder, and "out of the blue" vomiting. My systolic BP was 197. Don't remember the diastolic number. Turns out it was an immediate pre-cursor to a fully blocked artery that required a stent. Not all heart attacks are the classic clutching-your-chest heart attacks that you see in the movies, especially in women. Please take care of yourself and listen to your body if you have odd pain "for no reason". Like with me, it was a signal of something worse. Now, back to quilting... I L O V E your channel.

Thanks for keeping your videos real and honest. Cheers to 2024 and what we all can accomplish 🎉

Happy 2024! Thank you for all your videos laced with no nonsense common sense and practicality. Not all us can be producers of artistic, perfect quilts and you make it ok. You even encourage us to improve little by little so those scrappy blocks fit together.better. Roll on your 2024 videos!

I agree that a UFO is the perfect thing to do during the declutter challenge, since it does help declutter your space....

Karen Brown the gal of renown for 2023. Thank you

Hi Karen! Been a viewer (and subscriber) since the very beginning of your channel with your very first videos. Thank you for all you do to teach and inspire us quilters everywhere!! ❤ from Austin

Thank you for the 2023 recap and I'm looking forward to the Declutter Challenge. Here's to 400k by Valentine's Day!

Happy New Year! I'm sorry to hear that you and Angie have parted ways. I did wonder why things had gone quiet. It is good for you to get back on track and prioritise yourself. Looking forward to 2024 😊

Please more tutorials in 2024! Thank you

Wishing you a safe, healthy 2024. Thank you for all you do for the quilting community. 😘

Mary’s Triangle is used in Bonnie Hunter’s Mystery Quilt Indigo Way. The 8 at a time method has been invaluable to me! The blocks have come out perfect. Thank you so much for making a complex block easy.

You are authentic, I love that ❤💕❤💕

Your reflection on the past year is cathartic. I should do more of that!

Hi Karen, sorry to hear about your friendship dissolving with Angie. 😢 anyway I am glad you are doing good. Thanks for all your great Karen's circle, tutorials, and Q& A . Awesome information. All the very best in 2024❤🇨🇦😊

I’ve been watching since many years ago when a crafting friend in Ireland introduced Just Get It Done Quilts to our online group (LettuceCraft formerly Craftster). I signed up for a youtube account to subscribe. Best of luck to you in 2024!

I've commented before on that adorable Native Alaskan fabric! Thank you for replying to my inquiry!❤ I can't think why you're beating yourself up on the finished quilt because It's truly the sweetest thing ever!😊

Thank you Karen, it was so interesting to hear your year in review. I had watched all the videos you mentioned and it brought back pleasant memories. Also,I wondered if something happened between you and Angie as neither of you mentioned the other anymore. Thanks for letting us know. Some people are meant to be in our life for a lifetime and others for only a short time but all give us something to treasure. Hope 2024 is very rewarding for you and I’m looking forward to my fourth decluttering.

I have missed you a lot this year. So sorry for the haRd times and always delighted and grateful for your videos!

I've been with you since your very first video and I've enjoyed them all and learned so much. I also appreciate that you are open and honest and share bits and pieces of your "real" life and even share family pictures. My favorite videos have always been on making scrappy quilts. They are fun, but also so practical and useful. Thank you for all your hours of hard work to give us these great videos. I'm sure you'll reach your goal and beyond this year.

This was a very entertaining post thanku. Im so glad none of us are alone in the hobby of sewing which comes with stash piles of supplies. Following this page on fb now. See you there. Im so glad 2024 is here and it doesnt have the word "and" in it. Onward and upward!

Thank you for sharing and happy new year 🎉😊

Happy New Year, Karen!

Thanks for sharing !

I looked up the Alentejana quilt pattern and became obsessed with it as it is shown. I bought all the fabrics to try and get the right colors as seen on the pattern front. I purchased fabrics that will read solid, few Thatched and Grunge fabrics from Moda, and Bedrock from Windham. You must have made the pattern sound easy to me, but I had to read it a couple of times, think about for a day or two, read it again, etc. before it began to make sense to me. It seemed so complicated, but I finally figured it out. My daughter always tells me I can do things (computer related) if I try, and she's usually right. I'm 73 so I sort of panic. I have the first five blocks completed and stacked. I'm leaving for five weeks, but this will be the first thing I get back to when we return. I really enjoy your interviews, and everything else you do. Happy New Year, Karen! Your neighbor in Michigan, Marcia

Happy New Year, Karen! 🎉

All the best for 2024 Karen! 💝👍

Happy New Year from Michigan!! Love your show.

I'm so sorry your relationship degraded during Maple and Eucalyptus. You're such a pro I never even noticed. That must have been hard. I love your videos and I love our stitch n chats when I'm able to join. You've taken something you love and made a career out of it and that's just awesome. I truly admire you and how you've handled stuff. Best wishes and sincere prayers for a good 2024. Thanks for all you do!

thanks for all in inspiration

Happy new year 🎉 and thank you so much for all your videos, you make them so easy to follow 😊 even about stash busting and storing it all etc.

Bravo! It has been a great year with you. Here’s to next year and everything it brings

Happy new chapter!!

Happy New Year from Jacksonville NC

Great video again!

Another great year of videos! Happy New Year, and many more.

Thanks for the great content, Karen! I love your channel!

Happy new year!

Thank you for guiding me along my first few years of quilting. You are always inspiring and a joy to watch. Many blessings to you and your family in 2024!

Happy new year from South Dakota!

I really enjoy all your videos.

Thank you for a great, informative and learning year Karen! Happy New Year to you and your family🎉♥️🧵

Thank you for the honesty of the good, bad, and ugly. Not all goes to plan, and though we don’t need the backstory of every 'bad', just admitting it may help us understand some of the mental questions we have. I will miss the Declutter Challenge this year as I travel, but recommend it often to other online quilting peeps. I hope they join in and help you achieve your subscriber goal. Happy New Year and wishing you and yours a 2024 that is only 'good'.

I am missing 8 days during the first 15 of this year's Declutter Challenge so I am doing the 21 days in order during the first 21 days that I am at home. I'll just finish a week or so late. 😉😀

Woohoo! Declutter challenge!

Thank you, Karen, for this video rundown of 2023! Happy New Year to you. See you in 2024. ❤😊

Such a busy year Karen . Thanks for letting us all tag along. Shame about your parting with Ange and was wondering what had happened. I loved the Maple and Eucalyptus pattern and enjoyed making the cover version and Bananas layout through 100blocks100days2023. This year I will be attempting your Bonkers layout, or a trimmed down version. There are so many parts of the design that stand out, I have do it. Best wishes for a fulfilling 2024.

I have enjoyed your no nonsense get-to-the-point style of teaching and communicating. I have introduced your declutter challenge to my quilt guild. Keep up the great work and Happy New Year!!

Janice, maybe for 2024 you should keep your uninformed conclusions to yourself! Those insinuations are damaging and to put that out in the universe is not cool.

Your quilts are beautiful and are practical for both quilter and recipients! ✅ 🎨If Art is more about process, then you are a master of your Art as you reveal how sewing your quilts is a time management and techniques production process resilient to daily living, as it draws from one’s imagination, responses to colours on a walk with Mando 🐾 with the tactile feel of fabrics connects emotions while the hum of the sewing machine is the steady, calming rhythm of gently moving us on and forward with life!
