Yvette of Yvette Renee Creations

I am so excited to finally share a secret with everyone. I have a new video interview with a special lady who has influenced many quilt creators in the quilting industry. She was one of Cotton Cut’s first ambassadors and she’s known for her love of paper piecing. She loves and wants to be known for paper piecing as well as teaching it! Please say hello to Yvette in the comments section of the video when it premieres and share with all of us where you are viewing from!

The video goes live September 19th, 2023 at 6:00 PM Mountain time, 8:00 PM EST and 10:00 Greenland Time. Please come and say hello and comment below the video where you are viewing from. “Exploring The Yvette Renee channel’s Quilting Journey”

Yvette started making quilts in 2001. A friend of hers influenced her to want to start making quilts. The first thing Yvette did was go and buy her first machine which is a Baby Lock Ellure. She still has the machine but has added the Baby Lock Crescendo to the quilting family.

Over time Yvette discovered her love of Paper Piecing. She has started making her own paper piecing patterns as well as started her “Piecing It Real” online community. She really loves paper piecing and wants it to blossom into something huge. She really loves to teach paper piecing as well.

Yvette started her YouTube channel (TheYvetteRenee) in 2016. One of her cats who is called Jelly Bean loves to parade often in front of the camera when Yvette is filming or goes live to sew. I think he’s in love with the camera!

When Yvette started her channel, she started out unboxing all kinds of subscription boxes. It is because of this I became interested in Quilting. She was opening a Cotton Cuts Classic Box, FQS Sew Sampler Box, Cotton Cuts Puzzle Mystery QAL, and Sweet Water’s Quilt label subscription.

Yvette was Cotton Cuts 1^st ambassador. What an honor to be one of the first to start making tutorials of the Puzzle Mystery QAL. Her first PMQ was the “This Way and That Way” QAL, Team Ballet.

Her second PMQ was the “Stratford,” Team Viola.

Over time Yvette started having live sew-alongs and created short tutorials. She really loves to share her knowledge of paper piecing through teaching and tutorials. The thing that Yvette loves the most is teaching through her Piecing It Real online membership. She also hosts online virtual sewing retreats as well.

Thank you so much Yvette for sitting down to have a conversation with me. I really enjoyed it!

My name is Katy and I have been living in South Greenland since August 2011. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina, raised in Florida, and migrated to South Greenland through marriage. I am married to an amazing Greenlandic man living 60º N - about 670 km south of the Arctic Circle. I am a master gardener of 50 years. I started my love of ornamental gardening at the young age of 11. My paternal aunt gave me my first cutting and told me how to plant it. She also showed me some simple crochet stitches and sent me home with a cutting of coleus and a crochet hook with some yarn. At eleven it was like taking home a prize. Little did I know what would happen because of that. I learned how to sew my own clothing during my teenage years and that sewing has flowed over into me learning how to be a quilt maker. I love to take photographs of everything that catches my eye. I have thousands of photos. I am in love with icebergs. I don't think I will ever tire of seeing them and taking photos of them. The Greenland landscape is magnificent and it never disappoints. I also love to crochet as well as cook. I love making up my own recipes and serving them up to my "Heart Light" for test tasting. He is such a trooper. For the most part, he loves everything I've made. I'm a summer tourist guide and love it when fellow Americans come to visit us so that I can tell them about Greenland and most of the time I always tell our story since it's so special. I have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. I have grown to love Greenland as much as I love my home country USA. Greenland is like no other place and I will write lots about it and share photographs as well. I also love music and movies as well and I like to read. I will also be sharing blogs about quilt-making and other subjects that I'm involved with. View more posts
