The Quilting Nerd Introduction| The Quilting Nerd
I did this video to introduce myself. I am a woman and a professional longarmer, who is deaf and have physical disability due to a freak accident on September 2021. I do NOT let my disability define me. The word, "can't" does not exist in my vocabulary. Despite my disabilites, nothing stops me from doing what I absolutely LOVE with every fiber of my being.

    Oh my I stumbled 0n your channel tonight. I am 77 and became handicapped 5 years ago from an accident. I was afraid I could no longer sew and make quilts or raise my veggie garden in the spring and summer. I have worked hard and I have made numerous quilts for family and friends plus a few for charity. I also still grow my garden in raised boxes and large containers and have not missed one season even the year I got hurt. God bless you and you have made me fell better about going on life is not over ,

    Hello Julieanne, Your signing caught my eye so I watched your video. I am not deaf, but sign. (As an interpreter years ago, but now when I meet with deaf friends in our quilting group). it is nice to see how you are able to continue quilting and sewing. I will continue to watch your videos and share with my deaf friends.

    I an enjoying your videos alot. I decided to watch your intro video and was truly impressed. I didn't start to quilt until 2013 and I taught myself. This happened because our youngest child who we adopted at three months of age was born with spina bifida and is a paraplegic. In 2013 she was in hospital away from home because we live in northern ontario canada and don't have access to the needed medical help. She underwent her 37th surgery and we spent 3 months in hospital. As a form of trying to get rid of the stress of watching her suffer I decided to watch you tube and learn to quilt. It took a long time but the stree went away. I had commented to you that I didn't think I could do this FMQ but I am going to try. Thank you.❤

I had to stop using pins because I didn't want to bleed on my fabric now I use the clippies. They're great.😂 I do everything on my regular machine. Mostly art quilts so you don’t notice boo-boos from shaking hands. Anyhoo, you rock! Thanks for your inspiration, sharing and caring. Hugs😊

I have many sketches from watching you on KZread. Jazzy Razorback Hog is so cool and has helped you to continue with your work and art. I live in the Houston area but I am originally from Benton, Arkansas. I hope that you inspire other disabled people to find a way to try to find a way to continue. Dana Robbins
