Update: November 29th, 2023

Winners for the $25.00 Gift areas are as follows:
Marie Johns

Teajuana Mahone

Grand Prize Winner of the Spring 2024 Small Full Kit Cotton Cuts “Tree of Life” Puzzle Mystery QAL. (Barb Olson)

Congratulations to all the winners and Thank you so much for all of your support for my channel in helping it get to the 1,000 milestone.

Now it’s time to start working towards the next milestone. I am hoping to reach the full monetization milestone which can only be fulfilled if the “Watch Hours” reach 4,000 hours! I am hoping that all of you can help get me there by watching all of my videos to build up those watch hours. The water hours are even more important then the subscribe numbers. Both are important but one can’t reach full potential without both of them reaching a specified number. I am going to thank you ahead of time! 🙂 🙂

I have no words to describe how much I appreciate what has occurred with my channel. For two or three years I hemmed and hawed about making my channel but fear kept holding me back. It’s hard to push fear aside when a person has had that in them for a bigger part of their life. Fear of failure. Fear of people being mean. Fear of not doing a good job. Fear of the unknown. Fear of loss of control should it all fall apart. Sometimes we as human beings can’t get past ourselves without stumbling in the process. I realize though that having this type of fear is normal but not normal. I can’t really explain what I mean by that either. But either way, I have pushed it aside and decided I wouldn’t let it hold me back. After all, what’s the worse that can happen? As long as I give it all I can and do what it takes to succeed that is all that really matters. I have to say that I have not set any goals for the channel or my blog. My photography on the other hand has done well enough over on Flickr and I feel like there is enough there to leave a legacy for the future for my children and my grandchildren and whatever generation that follows them. So I’ll continue to concentrate on all three while learning through it.

My blog is definitely going to be a place where I can write about different subjects. Some subjects will make others uncomfortable probably. Sometimes that is what has to happen. It’s like making a quilt that is controversial and it might make people uncomfortable. As I’ve aged, I have realized that this has to be done because it could help someone in the future or it could help the person get their voice heard. There are many good reasons to do this. It’s a trouble that some would term “Good Trouble.” A lot has gone on in my life for sure.

So back to writing about the channel. When I uploaded that first video, it made me feel accomplished. It wasn’t much and it was a video of Greenland not something quilt related but that was a start. My channel is going to vary in so many ways I think. I have so much that I want to share while working towards getting good at making videos for quilters and for learning too. At the same time I get to also talk about some history relating to the town we live in and there is such a rich culture here to share that I can’t help but want to share it.

So stay tuned, there will be videos that will hopefully pique the interest of many. As I gain more dexterity with the technology my video making and editing should improve with it. Right now I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m creating as I move forward. I am so blessed to have met such a wonderful group of supportive people in the quilt making community. All of you have been so kind, supportive, understanding and patient. You help to lift up new creators as they learn to get a channel started and if it weren’t for all of you my channel would not be where it is today. Yes, I have been making videos and learning how to talk and interview and learn how to share in a way that person can learn from what I’m sharing. But it’s all of the viewer who are making my channel grow! All of you viewers are the backbone to every channel creator out there! If it were for you, our channels would go nowhere and I have to give gratitude where it’s due!

Thank you so much for helping my channel reach that 1,000 mark. I posted my first video at the beginning of June 2023. Hitting a 1,000 milestone in five months is something exceptionally awesome and I appreciate every last one of you who have contributed to getting me there. My channel hit a second milestone two days ago. I’m halfway to full monetization of the channel. When I started this channel that wasn’t even in my rear or front window and look what has happened. I really hope I can get my channel to a place where it stays interesting and everyone who watches the videos enjoy them.

Thank you so much for all that you have done on my behalf. I just hope that I can inspire some of you in the process!

Touch the Mind, Kiss the Heart, Embrace the Soul, Live, Laugh, Love & Dream!

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.
