Hi Cat, I want to thank you for continuing to be a presence on You Tube. I was revisiting your videos from years ago and was reminded of what a tremendous influence your creativity has been to me since I started mixed media. I veered off my initial focus in recent years and your videos reminded me of my original passion to combine paper and fabric. With much gratitude and sincerity, thank you for all that you do to continue to inspire so many of us who have followed you for literally years!! Wishing you and Don many blessings on your new chapter!

Howdy Cat, welcome back 'home' again. I had no idea that you and Don were relocating back to Colorado! How exciting, and back to some of those chilly, but beautiful winters! What inspired this big move? I guess I always thought you had family down in FL. where you now live. Thank you for such an amazing video today! I love the darks, lights and the lace under and over some of those delicious stained pieces. Your correct, slow stitching is such a de stressor. Your a creative jewel! Thanks Cat.

Cat, this has taken me a couple of days to watch. It’s like I have to drink it all in. I remember you dying the material and how satisfying it was. Now watching you manipulate and stitch each piece is so wonderful. I totally get it when you talk about the feelings that the sewing brings into the piece. You can’t fake that. It won’t let you. I think that’s why so many quilts are still around. They are so worn and loved up. So many hours of emotional went into each one. Thank you for sharing this video with us. All your work is inspiring. I know that wherever you land the community will be blessed for having you.

You DO give back soooo much, Cat and Don. Inspiration, information, techniques, up lifting the quality of mixed media and journaling, creating a safe community for artists and most of all your heart !! ♥️ And you’re full of surprises: like a facilitator for Julia Cameron's 12 week class: wow ! When I saw you consistently journaling, but then covering it over, I had a thought, I wonder if this is an influence from Julia's Morning Pages?... But you stunned me. Love you to pieces! You’re both dear friends! One more point: Cat, YOU opened my trapped emotions and helped me pour them into my art. (That was not an easy task for this ancient Yankee.) But you did it. Thank you ! I remember making a comment here, before you had the FB group. That I was going to try to be more vulnerable. I did. It hurts sometimes. But it’s been worth it. 😘🌱 Hope the contractors give you two quality work. 💕🌱

Oh Janice … I love you to pieces too!! Your questions were wonderful, so astute! I didn’t even finish them all! I promise to save them for future videos. Cameron was instrumental in getting me back to the studio and creating art.. but what was lovely about it was that we brought others with us… thank you dear one for your magical support, love and kindness. To say we appreciate it is so much less than what we feel in our hearts. ♥️ thank you so very much.. from Don and me! 🌱♥️🌸🙏🏻🌿🥰♥️

@@CaterinaGiglio Oh my, you make me blush. ☺️😔 Your words are too kind. Now, you make me wonder what removed you from creating…another question for a stitch-a-thon 🤩 ! Wasn’t it grand that you and your friend became teachers for Cameron’s work? I didn’t even know people did that. I must admit that life happened, and I put her book away and my creative practice. But I’m back on track with both. I might even write my morning pages (which sometimes does not get done) on art paper, using it as a starting point to create on top. Fun! Even though you've spoken in the past about your grandmother that sent you to art classes, I’m sure everyone would love to hear more of your memories of her and her influence (I would have loved some encouragement back then…my first experience with a crayon was tragic.) lol One more point, when dear Don gave you that tender answer (compliment) about your character and how it helped him, I had to stop the video bc liquid was coming from my eyes…I think they are called tears of admiration. 💦 Such a heartfelt moment that we all got to share as a community of sensitive souls. Thank you, Don, for sharing !! Well, I must ask…what are you preparing for your next video? Maybe Momigami…and then how to use the end product…like maybe collage and stitch? Sounds good to me. (Hint, hint). 😉 Time to go out to eat a late lunch at Jason's deli…love their salad bar. And they have gluten free bread and some organic items…yummy! Lol 😘💕 Spring is coming…🌱 Take care.

Hi Cat - I love your channel-so diverse, just like I am with my art practice 😊. I saw in another of your videos where you said you can’t do just one medium or one kind of art - same here! I get bored, or lose interest and have to move on to something else. I LOVE your tea dyed pieces! I currently have a pan full of bundles marinating in tea and really can’t wait for them to finish. I’m in the PNW and it’s our rainy season, so it may take longer than usual. But after 1 week, I’m totally using my oven 😉 for me to wait much longer than that is really expecting a lot out of this impatient woman. Anyway - to my point….I would LOVE l-o-v-e to see you create some of the darling little #stitchpots #fabricbowls, (@kristenpeterson and @rachaelsingleton) that are all the rage right now. Check it out on Instagram. Not much on YT - yet. Are you game? Your work is so gorgeous, I think you could provide so much inspiration! Hugs and xo from the rainy state 🌧️
