WOW! what a wonderful community of like minded souls! Thank you all so much for your heartfelt comments, I have so enjoyed learning where you are all from and reading your lovely stories. Thank you. I have the best community on the internet!!! xxx
Hi Kate, I forgot to tell you how I discovered your RUclips videos : since ten years I keep my bees. A couple of weeks ago I was searching for some specific informations and over the word "hexagon" came yor last homely House channel. Isn't it crazy? That's live!! Now I'm going to create a hexagon cushion. In Spring, I'll take it out of the garden, to sit and watch the bees. Thank you for inspire me!
Hello Kate. I'm fairly new to your Channel and haven't yet taken the plunge to make anything altho I've watched so many of your videos now. I especially liked following along Anna's journey making her quilt with you. I'm a Nana myself and want to try my hand at a quilt for my new baby granddaughter. I'll then attempt more for my other grandchildren! Looking forward to learning from you. Hugs from me, Cathy from South Wales ❤
Hello Kate, greetings from Czechia! I'm a bit late to the video - I've been doing nightshifts every other week since September, so as you can imagine, I am quite knackered and do things on my own irregular schedule... But the timing in putting this video off worked out perfectly, because I had a bit of a bad day (night), and this, Cat Rita certainly included, coupled with a cup of Darjeeling, was the perfect mood lifter! Your videos have been doing that service for me at least since the lockdowns (I think I discovered your channel maybe less than a year before them?), so: thank you! I'm more a garment sewist and knitter than quilter, but that does not really stop me from being inspired: I just recently looked at some leftover green sock yarn of mine and thought "I should pair this with pink." 😅 Someone in another comment here wrote you are like an adoptive grandmother to them. I realised it's rather similar to me. I had a very crafty, creative grandma who passed away last year (her specialty was bobbin lace); you're helping to fill that hole a bit. 💛
Hi I'm Ruth, a cat-person from Northern Ireland. I love your videos - your voice is so calming and your house and garden are beautiful. I'm a bit of a flibberty-jibbert when it comes to crafts - quilting, crochet and knitting are the main ones, but I've attempted loads of things including lace and brick laying, though not at the same time!
Hi Kate I’m from Pennsylvania. I love your videos. I am going through cancer treatments till they give me a bone marrow transplant that will make me better. For a year now I’ve been watching all you videos. I got so excited when I saw this one. You make me so happy and you help me think positive. Have a great day. ❤️. Tks for being you my friend.
Hello Kate, I am one of the New Visitors! I am Christine, living in Hamburg, Germany. I am new with sewing (not really new but - again sewing as an adult, when I was a child I learned it by my grandma). I love it to see and to hear your videos: it is Inspiration for me, what you are doing and how you are doing this - in a quiet atmosphere! The parts with music I love too! My work and my family are often turbulent and videos and Musik calm me down. And (very nice): I'm improving my English skills! I listen to all the videos bit by bit, including COVID time and lockdown. So, I'm enjoying it! Thank you! Best regards
Hello from New Zealand! I love Rita, she's gorgeous. Can't wait to see progress on this quilt. I'm a new watcher, I've been looking for quilty people on youtube to watch as I make my quilts, so glad I found your channel! I love that you're teaching your daughter in law to make quilts, my mother in law taught me how to use a sewing machine (which turned me into a quilter). It was very special to me and I'm sure it is the same for your daughter
Hi Kate I just wanted to let you know that you feel like an adopted grandmother to me in a way. I'm 20 and I've watched nearly all of your videos on both channels and I've been watching for a few years now. They're comforting and it feels like I get to learn skills from someone who cares and I appreciate you. Thank you ❤
Hello Kate, i’m from Brazil. My name is Anna and I just turned 18 and I started my first quilt this august at 17. I’m making it for my grandmother as a gift, I’m also adding embroidering. Since it is my very first quilt it has been quite a challenge, but I have been enjoying every step of the way. And it will be all worth it when I see a smile on my grandmother’s face.
I'm from Missouri. And it's exactly because of the sun and the room and the cat and your calming voice that I started watching. It's so much like joining my grandma in her sewing room. Just stitching and talking about whatever comes up. It's something desperately needed and welcome here! Thank you so much for sharing you!
Hi Kate! I'm in Massachusetts and I just found you yesterday. I love spending time with you, you're like having a wonderful new friend. I've been a quilter for over 20 years and I love to bake. I used to do quite a bit of gardening but not so much anymore. I wish you weren't so far away. Thank you for your inspiration and genuine kindness. Please keep the videos coming❣️
Hello Kate! I'm from Missouri, in USA. I quilt when the bug hits. There are a bunch of projects ready, but I'm not. My craft room is in the basement. Stays cool so summers are sewing/quilting for me. Our summers are sweltering so the cats and I head down there.
You've probably chosen your background fabric by now, but I was thinking about blue... to represent the starry sky. I know it's a girl's quilt, but Agnus' quilt was mainly blues and green. Just a thought. 💕🌞🌵😷
Hello from Queensland, Australia. Dear, dear Kate, I wish to thank you so very much, for your beautiful tutorials / videos. The energy that your gentle soul exudes and the manner in which you communicate your vast skill-set with working with fabric transcends the 'distance' between our locations. Thank you. Thank you to your sweet daughter-in-law, AND to Regal Rita for their lovely presence in your channel's videos.
Hi Kate! I,m Helene from Sweden. I,m 59 .My little girl catElsa died in my arms 2 weeks ago. She was 15,5 years old and a beatyful Holy Birman with the bluest eyes and softest paws. I miss her❤ Thanks for keeping me company Kate!❤
Hi Kate😃. What a great way to start a week…with a Video from you! I’m in Southern California and love the EEP you do. We don’t have much down time in the garden here, but I make time for sewing my quilts and hand sewing. Just starting a foundation paper pieced quilt, so excited🎉🎉🎉. Happy for the glimpse of cat Rita, she’s a beautiful calico kitty.
I’m sorry for your loss, it’s so tough to go through. I have to say, 15.5 years, that is a long life, what a blessing to have that much time with Elsa, doesn’t make it easier, but you have years of memories, lovely.
I live in Northern California and you have become my new best friend…and I am very comfortable on the Long Lime Green Couch. As long as I can see what you are doing from my seat! I love quilting. You are just the friend I needed to help encourage me to begin again after many years. You and Anna are quite a happy twosome for all to spend our time with. Ants, your neighbor and Jack of all trades was wonderful to watch help you to create a new pond and fantastic “cabin” for you to go and sew, crochet, knit, spin, and take a nap in such a lovely place. Thank you for your generous invitation to all of us. Wish we could all come and bring you a plant or flowers and have a Thank you party…we’d all trample the garden for sure. Please keep your health and remain content and happy. See you on the TV soon. Wrennette Aagaard
Hi Kate, I am so so happy I found your site, my mom was British and lived in London until she came to Canada as a war bride. She has moved to heaven now but these videos remind me so much of her. She taught me the joy of stitching and knitting and all things wonderful. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I’m hiking 3050 miles and hand sewing a 1/2 inch hexagon quilt for myself 🥰 I watched you sew the first grand daughters. I had never hand sewn anything. I made a queen sized 1 inch hexagon in 6 1/2 months with a little help from my guild. I’m give it away to the Napa quilt Guild as a raffle quilt❤️ Now im make one for myself
Hello Kate, I just found your channel and I couldn’t be happier! Knitting and quilting are my favorite hobbies. I also enjoy knitting garments for my 7 year old grandson and his 6 year old sister. I live in sw New Mexico, USA. Since I’m new here I’m excited to view your older episodes. I’m a more confident knitter than I am a quilter. You’ve gotten me excited for quilting now! Thank you! Take care dear. 😊 I also love your beautiful calico cat!
Hi Kate I am watching from a small town in South Australia. I am still highly drugged, dealing with lung cancer and COPD. You inspire me to keep on going one breath at a time. Xxxx
Dear mrs Kate, how nice that Rita came for a cameo! I'm sewing the last bit of binding on my Grandmothers Flowergarden quilt. My two cats are always with me when I'm sewing. So the next project will be a little quilt for my cats. For you and all the people on the lime green sofa a warm hallo from The Netherlands.
I am also watching from The Netherlands, from Leidschendam, a little toen naar The Hague. I rally likes your way of working, you sometimes feel to make production with your machine, . I have a pile of 2 " scraps warming for schreef moment. I love the cats, it feels really setting on the limegreen sofa Gerda
Good morning Kate, I’m from Northeast Ohio. You are a welcomed and calming presence for me at 3am when I’m unable to go back to sleep after getting up with the baby. I’m almost 60. I’m a retired nurse. My husband and I foster drug affected infants and I have some very long nights. Thank you for sharing. And give CatRita a snuggle for me 🥰
I’m Marji from California and I’m 72 next month. I just found your channel a few weeks ago and started watching. I have had a bit of a hiatus from sewing as we’re going through my mom’s stuff. Between your videos and my niece organizing my sewing, I’m inspired to start back. Originally, I started with hand piecing and I think I’ll go back to that. Thank you!
I'm Kate in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington DC. I've been watching your videos off an on for years. I always enjoy them: the smiles, the stories, the laughter, the cats, and the projects. Thank you for doing what you do!
I'm Diana from Nebraska. I'm a 70-year old grandmother of 12 and I have 3 fur-babies of the feline persusion, too! 🙂 I also am interested in everything....I garden, do photography, make my own soap, knit, crochet, embroider, and just recently started quilting. I love your channels, Kate! You appear to be 100% authentically yourself, which draws people to you. Watching your videos is like sitting down with an old friend for a chat, over a cup of tea. You make everyone feel welcome and included, which I appreciate!
Hi Kate, I'm from Ontario, Canada. I work at a fabric shop and I had a customer come in looking for EPP papers, she said she got hooked watching your videos. I said that it was amazing that she came in and that we were both following you. I just love watching you put together your quilts. Thank you to you and Anna.
I also saw the article, but I think one of the things they didn’t mention was that during the COVID epidemic you were a life saver. I know I wasn’t the only person living alone who had to shield and seeing you , Arne and Carlos and Michelle Krall everyday made me feel a little less alone, so thank you❤️
I'm a 56 young female from Alexandria, Louisiana in USA, 5 years into the quilt making. Love your videos on both channels, great tutorials, tips and tricks. Your hand stitching has inspired me to incorporate it into my quilts. I also love watching Anna enjoy her journey of quilting. Yall make a great team. ❤
Hi Kate, Im living in Tasmania, I was told about your channel by a new member of our sewing group. We meet every other Monday and make quilts for Charitie's. I was originally from the UK, lovely to hear that accent. :)
Hi Kate, I’m 67 and live in West Sussex in a tiny Victorian cottage with my Husband 3 grown up daughters and spaniel Milo, it’s a bit crowded and chaotic but I love having them all around me, as someone who can’t even sew a button on so that it stays put I am fascinated watching you sew and create, I love quilts and watching you make magic is so calming in a crazy world, cat Rita is a beautiful girl, thank you for sharing a little of your world and your lovely family with us all. 💚
I am a customer service agent for MSQC, I was helping one of our customers and she told me about you. This is my first time watching. You have a lovely program. I've never tried English paper piecing. This may be in my future, well after I finish a few of my quilt projects. Thanks for a great show. Pam in Spring TX
Hi Kate & everyone, I am from Wellington, New Zealand and currently living in Berwick, Victoria, Australia. Love Cat-Rita, she's a lovely little ol'lady XO Thank you Kate for all the varied content, I love seeing what's new after a long day at work. It's amazing, whether it's watching a new video or rewatching previous ones, I always feel so much better for doing so.I don't know if you realise just how good for the soul your videos are - THANK YOU! XXX
As a person who celebrates small victories, EPP is perfect. Taking a moment to hand sew two pieces together is a win, two halves of a star joined a milestone and completion of a quilt a triumph. Your joy and calmness is infectious Kate, thanks for sharing your projects with all of us on the LGS. Love from OZ.
Hi Kate ... I'm from a tiny, very old 'New England-y' town in Massachusetts ... settled in 1644 ... and absolutely love your videos!!! I'm so happy you showed up on my RUclips home page one lucky day!!!! I'm a long-time quilter ... 45+ years ... with a giant box of finished tops I'm working to turn into quilts, with the help of some talented long-arm quilters. Watching your work progress is a great inspiration to keep me steadily moving toward my goal. My quilting friends are used to me describing you as 'the lovely English woman on RUclips', and I've shared the link to your channel with so many of them. I love your calm and peaceful presence ... your positivity ... and your darling cats!!! Thank you for always making my day brighter ... be safe and well ... only 38 days till SPRING!!!
Hi Kate, I am from Australia. I started English Paper Piecing 4 years ago. My dearest friend Therese started me on it. It has been a great comfort to me and kept me sane after losing my eldest son 3 years ago. My first quilt EPP won a 3rd place in a quilt show and I was so chuffed with the judges comments. My next quilt I made in honour of my son, and my dear friend custom quilted it for me and in the binding put my sons name on it. It hangs in the room that used to be his. Thank you for your videos they are very inspiring.
That is such a beautiful and also heartbreaking comment, sending you love friend ( Tassie, Aus ) . You have snapped me out of my anger with my son, he is living with us atm and has been struggling badly with mental health issues. Today after a heavy week of his moods we ended up arguing which resulted in me angrily storming off in a flood of tears and heading to the garden, I am about to go get some sewing supplies and plants and will let him know how much I love him before leaving!! My heart goes out to you, I cannot imagine having to live through such a loss. xoxo
Hi Kate, I'm in North West Tasmania at the bottom of the world. I find you so inspiring to watch. Your gental and informative commentary is food for the soul.
I live in the United States of America. I was born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming. However, I now live in a town of Glacier, Washington, population 210 people. I live at the foot of an active strata volcano, named Mount Baker, elevation 11,800 ft. above sea level. I don't often comment, but love your channel. Thank you for asking us where we live and for offering us so many idea, and wonderful detailed quilting directions. You are the best❤.
I’m from North Wales, a small village between Wrexham and Mold. I have promised my granddaughter a quilt when she goes to University in September and you have inspired me to make a star quilt. The very first paper pieced quilt I made and designed began in a sewing class over many many months. Life got in the way…… I.e renovating many houses but the box of paper pieces and fabric came with me each time……so, 20 years later it got finished and I was very proud of it. Since then I have made a few more using varying techniques and now this star quilt is for Ruby to have when she leaves home. Just to add I am not a person who makes perfect items but I do value the fact that patchwork must be precise and that’s what I aim for……let’s just hope I speed up a bit otherwise it may mean she will get it when she leaves home to go to her first job. Thanks for your wonderful videos which inspire thousands of people from many parts of the world. X
Hi Kate, lovely to see your new project and the tutorial, I picked up some good tips there. I'm from scarborough, North Yorkshire and I'm making a cushion cover for my granddaughter out of epp rectangles, which I'm slow stitch8ng and embellishing. I'm a bit stuck on epp at the moment lol.
Hi Kate. I am from Austria in the middle of Europe. I live with my two boy cats in Vienna. I think you were my first patchwork channel abo. I love your little stories about you, your family and your cats. I sit on the lime green sofa a long time and I enjoy it very much. Thank you for all your friendlyness and kindness and all your love sending in the world. 🐱
I'm from the USA, Glacier, Washington, (19) miles from the top of Mt Baker, our active strata-volcano in the Cascade Mountain range of Washington state. Love your very informative English Paper Piecing instructions! Rita is a jewel❤ and so are you!! Thank you for you share with us.
Hi Kate and Anna, I am watching from Glossodia NSW Australia and found you about 14 months ago when I moved back to my parent’s home to care for them as my mum is bedridden and my dad has dementia. I also work full time from home as an accounts clerk. When I need some “time out” I turn to you!!! I had actually started a hexagon quilt and it was my gorgeous gay son who showed me the process which is the same as yours, hand basting. He is a member of a quilters guild near where he lives and the ladies just love him. Funnily he is also a weight lifter so I say he needs to shop with me so he can carry all the fabric. 😂 Thank you for being my therapist and helping relieve some of the stress in my world. ❤❤❤
Hello Kate and Anna, l watch you from Athens, Alabama,United States. I consider myself to be one of the lucky viewers as l have been with you since you were deciding on the perfect name for your videos. So much has changed since those early days, except you and your family. Your family is so talented and by example teach all of us what family should be about. Each video is a ray of warming sunshine, the smiles are like lights in the night because they are genuine and brighten our world. The education you so freely give us, well, no price is enough, you Kate and family are a blessing to this world and l am a better person for having you in my circle. Thank you with all l have for what you give.
Hi Kate, so many of your viewers are from far away places around the world - that’s wonderful. I’m watching from Shirley,Solihull - just south of Birmingham England (ten minutes down the road from the Cotton Patch Shop.). I have always loved making and gardening (I’ll be 80 later this year) and am very envious of your lovely home and garden - particularly your tree house, my 9 year old granddaughter would love it. So enjoy your videos and many thanks for all the time spent preparing them. With love, Jean
Hi Kate. I’m in South Africa. It would be good to hear South Africa being mentioned. We always slip people’s minds but there’s a big quilting community here. Love your videos and the Liberty tana lawn.
Hello Kate. I have just started a tana lawn quilt and I love watching while I quilt. It will take me a year of slow stitching. Thank you for sharing your sweet nature. I hope to become more positive in life like you. :)
I am from Battle Creek, Michigan. I have watched your videos for a couple of years. I am 77 and have sewn since I was very young. I enjoy all of your videos, most recently teaching Anna to quilt and building your cabin and pond. Thank you kind lady for your quiet approach to everything. SHARON
I grew up in Allendale Michigan and lived in Grand Rapids and then Muskegon till I was 37. We moved to Montana, then California and now have been in Reno Nevada since 1997. My older sister was in the last school group that toured the Kelloggs facility in Battle Creek. I am only a year younger than she, and I was so disappointed that my class couldn’t go.
Hello Kate, thank you so much for keeping us company. I look forward to each new installment of your videos. I’m a sixty-nine year old woman living in rural Maine, United States with my husband, four dogs and two cats. I made a loose resolution this year to complete one quilted project a month. So far January has a full sized simple six inch block pattern quilt all of solid purple fabrics, my husband’s choice. Just beginning to sandwich a scrap, king size flying goose quilt together for February. Wish me luck. Blessing on you dear lady for encouraging, teaching, and sharing with all of us.
Hello rural Maine! Rural NY here. A scrappy flying geese sounds wonderful! Like Kate, I also watch Jenny of Missouri Star Quilt Company, and I'm so happy that I discovered her last September or so, and just when I had hand surgery around Thanksgiving, a video on crumb quilting popped up. No cutting really. With a bone removed from my left thumb/wrist, I couldn't do much, but I could hold fabric between my first and second fingers well enough to just randomly sew small pieces of fabric together. Honestly, saved my sanity for the first week or so. (You should have seen me tie my shoes without a working left thumb - slow, but I got it done.) I'm telling you this since you might have lots of small scraps left from the 'geese'. I have 24 10" squares of crumbs and it really became a favorite thing to make, even now that my hand is mostly back up to full strength. Take care.
Hello Kate. I’m 72 and live on a farm about 25 miles from the nearest town in the central part of Alberta, Canada. I have been watching your channel for many years. I am a quilter, bag maker and cross stitcher and have done a tiny bit of English paper piecing. Your quilt for Agnes was beautiful. You have inspired me to dig out a small English paper piecing project I started a few years ago! I’ve also been watching the Last Homely House Garden channel since its start. I don’t enjoy yard work but love watching your channel and your love of gardening. Can’t wait for the cabin to be done. 🙂
Hello Kate I’ve just found you on RUclips. The only hexagon quilt I’ve made I gave to my dear friend in the hospital. She protested that it was too special. To appease her I told her she could give it back when she came home. She loved it and gave her something cheerful to look at. Unfortunately she passed unexpectedly and it was much later that I remembered the quilt. I asked her husband if he knew what happened to it and with a smile he said oh yes it’s on my bed at home! Apparently it gave him some comfort too. Watching you work makes me want to make another one. Hand sewing is so comforting to me. Thank you and my husband and I followed our daughter from Washington state to Florida 3 yrs ago. 🙏🏻🐞
I started quilting at age 8 with my Irish grandmother. My first projects were all EPP. We used my dad's shirt cardboards for the templates and newspaper for the papers, and the fabric we used was cut up clothing. My grandmother insisted on 11 stitches to the inch. Those hexagons were hard work and i didn't like it. Now at age 75, after quilting all my life, I'm trying EPP again. And now I'm enjoying the process. I love your soothing, calm, relaxing videos. No glue for me...I hand baste. I'm still sewing and knitting and teach collage quilting at my local shop here in AZ. I also lead a group of quilters who "think outside the box". I hope to start an EPP class soon and will definitely recommend your videos. Thanks Kate.
Hi Kate I'm in Fleetwood Lancashire I'm 87 years young and also enjoy your ideas and videos also with Anna who's coming along nicely. Not forgetting cat Rita who's a star
I'm from the small, remote state of Maine! Pine trees, rocky coasts, moose, chickadees , fish chowder, lobster, lighthouses, sea gulls, quiet rural villages, cold winters, with lovely sunsets and star filled nightly skies. I'm new to your channel. Love it
Morning Kate. I'm Belinda, from Sheffield UK. I just wanted to say that I saw the lovely article about you in the Guardian online this morning. Now, even more people will pop on to the " lime green sofa." Congratulations ❤
Hi Kate, I’m living on the Isle of Man and patiently wait for your videos to come up every fortnight. I enjoyed reading the Guardian article too. I love catching up with what you are doing and end up being inspired to do similar projects. I have a St Lois 16 patch quilt on the go and am building up a hexagon stash to do my own “Agnes” style quilt. Your influence goes far and wide.
Hi Kate, I am Catherine from Brisbane Australia and both myself and my 93 year old mum (she lives with me and I take care of her) enjoy watching you both in your home and your garden. Mum particularly liked the gown you made. Thank you Kate for all your sharing of your talents and lovely spirit ❤❤❤
Hi Catherine, sitting on the lime green sofa with you in Australia about an hour south of Brisbane. Kate is wonderful isn't she. Hope your mum is coping in this heat.
Hi Cathy, i live a couple of hours south in tweed heads, happy stitching 🧵 Kate has a great channel and we all enjoy sitting on the lime green sofa. See you there sometime xx😊
I' m watching and enjoying your paper pieceing, and your beautiful cat Rita. I live and watch you from Australia. I was at a quilt show, demonstrating hand quilting and I overheard many people talking about watching you on Utube. I was pleased that others had found your programs as well. You're great viewing, thanks for sharing. Regards Judy Wheldon ❤
I am in Wicklow,in Ireland and I really look forward to your videos, I sit in bed and watch on my iPad, it’s lovely to read the comments from all over the world, its like having a network of friends all over the world , so nice. Many thanks Kate ❤️
Hello Kate. I am danish, but fore 30 years I live in Switzerland. I came to you by the introduction from Arne & Carlos. Thanks to you I have made 3 hexagon babyquilts in the last 2 years. Lot of love from Switzerland!
Hi Kate, I am from the Upper Kiewa Valley, NE Victoria, Australia, in a small town at the base of Mount Bogong. Your channel is my daily be kind to myself viewing. Thank you for being you. 😊
Kate. Have you ever considered the frequency of different fibers and fabrics..? There have been several scientific studies on the frequency of fabrics and how these effect the human body. ❤❤❤
A lovely hot cup of tea, gentle music and watching you do all the work…what a great way to spend my Sunday morning! Thanks Kate from a silvery morning here in Victoria on the west coast of Canada.
Hi Kate and Anna. I am from Australia near the beautiful Blue Mountains in Sydney. I love watching your videos and yes you have inspired me to start my own paper piecing quilt. Hand sewing has not been my thing but your passion has made me try. Thank you so much for all you videos. Love Sharon
I really enjoy your RUclips program. Your EPP lessons are spectacular. Your voice is quiet and calm. I can listen to you and my husband can still hear the TV without interference from the volume of your voice. I don't have to use my headphones. Merry Christmas and keep up the EPP. Christine frm Florida
Hi Kate...I am from the Philippines but living in the Algarve, south of Portugal now with my British husband. I had been watching your videos for few months now. When I was diagnosed with lung cancer, I started to watch quilting videos to get me back to quilting. I had been to a quilting class as a beginner in Lausanne, Switzerland when my husband got a job there. I made a lap quilt, hand stitched and hand quilted except when I sew the binding in but finished the binding with hand stitching. Now, while I am on chemotherapy, I like to do something I enjoy to do so I decided to go back to quilting. I haven't done this when we lived in the UK, Singapore and Philippines.
Hi Kate, I am Ruth from Germany. 72 Jears old. Thank you very much for the inspiration you give to me and all the other people around the world. To see your kind of working and speaking is like a meditation for me. My English is not very good but listening to you makes it better bit by bit. I think, your cat Rita looks like one of your colorful Quilts.....
Hi Kate, I recently subscribed to your channel, love watching you doing your projects, I’m watching from Australia, but I’m originally from Portugal, left Portugal in 1987 at the age of 20, keep up the good work, thank you for sharing your knowledge of it all ❤
I’ve been here awhile but now several friends are subscribed to your channel and we talk about your wonderful projects when we get together! We are from Central Texas!❤❤❤
Hi I’m Jo from Ripon, North Yorkshire. I find watching you so comforting. Having a hard time at the moment and your videos take me away from my problems. Thank you Kate. So glad I found you. X
Hi Kate from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia! Your videos kept me company last week while we were getting 150 cm of snow! It was dreary outside, but you kept us smiling and warm ❤
I watch this a while ago! But it is so interesting I wanted to watch it again! I love paper piecing and I loved watching you. I am going to give a try to make some curtains like yoyrs! I have 42 containers in the garage! So I am ptR
Just saw your video for the first time. I love your sweet mannerisms! Such a sweet personality and I love making things by hand too. I have all my life! My father taught me to embroider when I was seven years old and have been doing some sort of needlework ever since. Quilts and cross stitch have stayed my favorite over the years! Going to checkout your Facebook and watch your previous videos! Love your beautiful little kitty! Enjoy your day! Shirley
I think you have picked the perfect fabric and pattern for your new granddaughter and I look forward to watching your progress. I've been watching you for years now and have shared your channel with many quilter friends. I'm from Rome, Georgia but have lived in the Knoxville, Tennessee area for 29 years. When I can't sleep at night for worry I turn on your channel and your calm voice and lovely projects are better than any medicine on earth. You are a blessing (and Anna also!).
Dear Kate, I do EPP with grade 5 pupils (11 to 12 years old) and they have just finished their first hexie-flower! It is amazing to watch them handstiching and I hope that at least a few will remember this and keep on as adults 😀 Thank you for all inspiration ❤ Love from the Swedish West Coast, Barbara (textile crafts teacher)
Hello Kate Love your EPP projects that are on the go and it’s how I have quilted for years. You inspired me here in Northern California 3 years ago to start EPP. Your garden space has been an inspiration also. Thanks to you and your family for creating this community.
Hello Kate, I'm from very distant Argentina and have been watching your videos for ages, made the trip around the world quilt inspired by you and learnt so many other things that you have so generously shared with us. Thank you so much for your placid and interesting videos.
Hello Kate. I am from South Africa. Although am a full time teacher I love spending my free time in front of my Bernina watching your videos. It feels as if I am in my late mom's house spending time with her, learning from her and having some tea with her. Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you. Baie dankie.
Hi I'm Michele, I'm 59 & live in French Pyrenees (near to Perpignan). I'm married with a married daughter & a 16mth old grand daughter who is the joy of our lives ! I've been following you for about 4 yrs now & your videos bring me much peace & inspiration. Love to you, Rita & your family xxxx
Hi Kate, I live in Australia. Your videos are wonderful and inspire me! I love your gentleness and the way you teach. You speak of your family, pets and friends with such respect and love that I feel like we’re all sitting chatting with a cuppa and our sewing projects at the table.
Hello Kate and greetings from Zaragoza (Aragón, Spain). I love to seeing your videos and listening to you. Liberty fabrics are beautiful, I agree, but I think, is you who do the magic : ) Thank you very much indeed for sharing your know-how.
Kate, I love how you enjoy starting new projects all the time. ME TOO! It lets your imagination go wild,which is half the fun. You and I are not alone,there is a tribe of us. Why deny ourselves when it’s so stinkin fun!
Hello Kate, I am a weaver and I don’t do quilting but I love listening to you and looking at the magnificent pieces of fabric. thank you and I live in Quebec, Canada🌷
I am watching you from Costa Rica. I am from the USA. I learned to paperpiece on-line using freezer paper ironed on my fabric. That is all I knew. I am learning from you!
Hi Kate, I'm Catherine and I'm from Northumberland! I love your channel. My mam does a lot of quilting. She does it properly with patterns etc but about 30 years ago I spent 3 years making a paper quilt out of clothes my mam and I wore. I had no idea what I was doing but I'm very proud of that quilt and I really enjoyed making it. I'm thinking of starting a Boro style throw for my sofa. Thanks for letting us see your homely life!
Hi Kate I'm from Figtree NSW Australia (80 kms south of Sydney). It is a beautiful summer's Monday morning here. Have been watching you and Anna for about 8 months now and really look forward to your chats to all on the lime green sofa - a warm hello to everyone.
I’m watching from very hot hot south Florida, USA. Atlantic side. Great to stay in my air conditioning and slow stitch! I’m making a rap around robe printed with large peacocks.
Hi, I'm from Vancouver Island, Canada. I've been really enjoying your channels for a couple of years. I quilt and sew but not EPP yet. So glad Rita appeared. We just adopted 2 kittens as companions for our 4 yr old scared male cat. He's much happier now.
Hello Kate I admire your patience, the pedagogical way you show us how you do the stiches.I follow you from Algeria , you articulate very well ALL the words , I am so glad to understand all what you say .Thank you very much.
Hi Kate, Anna, and Cat Rita. I am Tiffanie from Kentucky. I have machine sewed some here and there my entire life but when I decided to research how to do EPP, your videos came up. I have been so inspired. I did a 2.5 hexie throw quilt and have started an Agnus size 1 inch hexie quilt too. I bought the Kaffe fabric to make a little pouch like yours and I can’t wait to make it. Thank you for all of your inspiration. I have been farming all my life and the simplicity of your life reminds me of mine. So far away but so close in ideas! Have a wonderful day! Thank you again.
I found you a few weeks ago and am thrilled I did. Your videos take me back to the 1950s watching my granny and great-granny hand quilting. I'm in Missouri in the U.S. and your videos make me feel like I'm sitting there with you. Thank you so much for being there.
Hi Kate I love your videos I'm getting over breast cancer and now I've got two grandchildren coming in June your so talented and I love your garden I sew knit and garden keep posting love from Scotland
Hello Kate. I love your cannel. I’m from Michigan in the USA. I have loved sewing all my life. My grandma and Great Grandma lived next door. Grandma was a lot like you. Many different projects on the go. Great Grandma was blind but she crocheted rag rugs. I was fascinated as a child to sit and talk with Great Grandmas as she made rag rugs. What I wouldn’t give to have one today 60 years later. How I was blessed to have such great woman in my life when I was young.
Bonjour, I'm from France, I really enjoy watching you chat with us listeners of the world. You pass on your knowledge to us with such generosity and kindness. With you I enter a little heavenly space, where everything seems so easy! Thanks Kate, and thanks also to the internet translators I use from time to time. Have a beautiful day.
Hi Kate and Anna I am from Toronto Canada and love love love your videos. You are like visiting a old and loved friend. You bring me much joy. Thank you for all you do for all of us around the world
Watching from Germany! Love your content and learned so much from it. My nephew in Seattle has since picked up your channel as well. I recommend it to all of my friends world-wide, especially those you need to calm down after a stressful day. ❤
Love this new quilt. Looks like stars spinning in a night sky. Would be lovely with a dark navy in the background. Like the night sky. All the best Kate. Keep doing you.
WOW! what a wonderful community of like minded souls! Thank you all so much for your heartfelt comments, I have so enjoyed learning where you are all from and reading your lovely stories. Thank you. I have the best community on the internet!!! xxx
Hi Kate, I forgot to tell you how I discovered your RUclips videos : since ten years I keep my bees. A couple of weeks ago I was searching for some specific informations and over the word "hexagon" came yor last homely House channel. Isn't it crazy? That's live!! Now I'm going to create a hexagon cushion. In Spring, I'll take it out of the garden, to sit and watch the bees. Thank you for inspire me!
Hello Kate. I'm fairly new to your Channel and haven't yet taken the plunge to make anything altho I've watched so many of your videos now. I especially liked following along Anna's journey making her quilt with you. I'm a Nana myself and want to try my hand at a quilt for my new baby granddaughter. I'll then attempt more for my other grandchildren! Looking forward to learning from you. Hugs from me, Cathy from South Wales ❤
Hello Kate, greetings from Czechia! I'm a bit late to the video - I've been doing nightshifts every other week since September, so as you can imagine, I am quite knackered and do things on my own irregular schedule... But the timing in putting this video off worked out perfectly, because I had a bit of a bad day (night), and this, Cat Rita certainly included, coupled with a cup of Darjeeling, was the perfect mood lifter! Your videos have been doing that service for me at least since the lockdowns (I think I discovered your channel maybe less than a year before them?), so: thank you!
I'm more a garment sewist and knitter than quilter, but that does not really stop me from being inspired: I just recently looked at some leftover green sock yarn of mine and thought "I should pair this with pink." 😅
Someone in another comment here wrote you are like an adoptive grandmother to them. I realised it's rather similar to me. I had a very crafty, creative grandma who passed away last year (her specialty was bobbin lace); you're helping to fill that hole a bit. 💛
Hey how was your day today?
2:07
Hi I'm Ruth, a cat-person from Northern Ireland. I love your videos - your voice is so calming and your house and garden are beautiful. I'm a bit of a flibberty-jibbert when it comes to crafts - quilting, crochet and knitting are the main ones, but I've attempted loads of things including lace and brick laying, though not at the same time!
Hi Kate I’m from Pennsylvania. I love your videos. I am going through cancer treatments till they give me a bone marrow transplant that will make me better. For a year now I’ve been watching all you videos. I got so excited when I saw this one. You make me so happy and you help me think positive. Have a great day. ❤️. Tks for being you my friend.
Me too! Jamestown, PA 😊
I'm in new jersey I'll be praying 🙏 for you! ❤❤
Wishing you well. I've been there 😊 know what your going through.
I am really not that far from you Kate, I am 56 miles from you Yorkshire ❤️
I’m in the state of Wisconsin USA. Kate I’ve got a box of EPP stars that are 20 years old because I didn’t know how to join them !! 😅 Thank You ❤
Hello Kate, I am one of the New Visitors!
I am Christine, living in Hamburg, Germany. I am new with sewing (not really new but - again sewing as an adult, when I was a child I learned it by my grandma). I love it to see and to hear your videos: it is Inspiration for me, what you are doing and how you are doing this - in a quiet atmosphere! The parts with music I love too!
My work and my family are often turbulent and videos and Musik calm me down. And (very nice): I'm improving my English skills! I listen to all the videos bit by bit, including COVID time and lockdown.
So, I'm enjoying it! Thank you!
Best regards
Hello from New Zealand! I love Rita, she's gorgeous. Can't wait to see progress on this quilt. I'm a new watcher, I've been looking for quilty people on youtube to watch as I make my quilts, so glad I found your channel! I love that you're teaching your daughter in law to make quilts, my mother in law taught me how to use a sewing machine (which turned me into a quilter). It was very special to me and I'm sure it is the same for your daughter
Hi Kate I just wanted to let you know that you feel like an adopted grandmother to me in a way. I'm 20 and I've watched nearly all of your videos on both channels and I've been watching for a few years now. They're comforting and it feels like I get to learn skills from someone who cares and I appreciate you. Thank you ❤
girl i feel the same wayyy....im alot older than you but i feel like kates my nana..nana kate!!!
Hello Kate, i’m from Brazil. My name is Anna and I just turned 18 and I started my first quilt this august at 17. I’m making it for my grandmother as a gift, I’m also adding embroidering. Since it is my very first quilt it has been quite a challenge, but I have been enjoying every step of the way. And it will be all worth it when I see a smile on my grandmother’s face.
Hi Kate, I love watching your videos. ❤ I’m from Quebec Canada. I’m a French speaker.
I'm from Missouri. And it's exactly because of the sun and the room and the cat and your calming voice that I started watching. It's so much like joining my grandma in her sewing room. Just stitching and talking about whatever comes up. It's something desperately needed and welcome here! Thank you so much for sharing you!
Also from Missouri. I sew but don't quilt. Enjoy your lovely demeanor and chit chat. Very calming and I always learn something. Thank you
Hi Kate! I'm in Massachusetts and I just found you yesterday. I love spending time with you, you're like having a wonderful new friend. I've been a quilter for over 20 years and I love to bake. I used to do quite a bit of gardening but not so much anymore. I wish you weren't so far away. Thank you for your inspiration and genuine kindness. Please keep the videos coming❣️
Hello Kate! I'm from Missouri, in USA. I quilt when the bug hits. There are a bunch of projects ready, but I'm not. My craft room is in the basement. Stays cool so summers are sewing/quilting for me. Our summers are sweltering so the cats and I head down there.
You've probably chosen your background fabric by now, but I was thinking about blue... to represent the starry sky. I know it's a girl's quilt, but Agnus' quilt was mainly blues and green. Just a thought. 💕🌞🌵😷
Hello from Queensland, Australia. Dear, dear Kate, I wish to thank you so very much, for your beautiful tutorials / videos. The energy that your gentle soul exudes and the manner in which you communicate your vast skill-set with working with fabric transcends the 'distance' between our locations. Thank you. Thank you to your sweet daughter-in-law, AND to Regal Rita for their lovely presence in your channel's videos.
Hi Kate! I,m Helene from Sweden. I,m 59 .My little girl catElsa died in my arms 2 weeks ago. She was 15,5 years old and a beatyful Holy Birman with the bluest eyes and softest paws. I miss her❤ Thanks for keeping me company Kate!❤
So sorry for your loss. Our pets really are family and leave a hole in the heart when they pass. Sending love and prayers to you.
Hi Kate😃. What a great way to start a week…with a Video from you! I’m in Southern California and love the EEP you do. We don’t have much down time in the garden here, but I make time for sewing my quilts and hand sewing. Just starting a foundation paper pieced quilt, so excited🎉🎉🎉. Happy for the glimpse of cat Rita, she’s a beautiful calico kitty.
So sorry for your loss. I’m sure Elsa knew how much you loved her.
I’m sorry for your loss, it’s so tough to go through. I have to say, 15.5 years, that is a long life, what a blessing to have that much time with Elsa, doesn’t make it easier, but you have years of memories, lovely.
I am so sorry Helene. I send a hug to you. 😥 Pat from Canada
I live in Northern California and you have become my new best friend…and I am very comfortable on the Long Lime Green Couch. As long as I can see what you are doing from my seat!
I love quilting. You are just the friend I needed to help encourage me to begin again after many years. You and Anna are quite a happy twosome for all
to spend our time with. Ants, your neighbor and Jack of all trades was wonderful to watch help you to create a new pond and fantastic “cabin” for you to go and sew, crochet, knit, spin, and take a nap in such a lovely place.
Thank you for your generous invitation to
all of us. Wish we could all come and bring you a plant or flowers and have a Thank you party…we’d all trample the garden for sure. Please keep your health and remain content and happy. See you on the TV soon.
Wrennette Aagaard
Hi Kate, I am so so happy I found your site, my mom was British and lived in London until she came to Canada as a war bride. She has moved to heaven now but these videos remind me so much of her. She taught me the joy of stitching and knitting and all things wonderful. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I’m hiking 3050 miles and hand sewing a 1/2 inch hexagon quilt for myself 🥰 I watched you sew the first grand daughters. I had never hand sewn anything. I made a queen sized 1 inch hexagon in 6 1/2 months with a little help from my guild. I’m give it away to the Napa quilt Guild as a raffle quilt❤️ Now im make one for myself
Kate. Use green will look like leaves for flower stars
Hello Kate, I just found your channel and I couldn’t be happier! Knitting and quilting are my favorite hobbies. I also enjoy knitting garments for my 7 year old grandson and his 6 year old sister. I live in sw New Mexico, USA. Since I’m new here I’m excited to view your older episodes. I’m a more confident knitter than I am a quilter. You’ve gotten me excited for quilting now! Thank you! Take care dear. 😊 I also love your beautiful calico cat!
Hi Kate I am watching from a small town in South Australia. I am still highly drugged, dealing with lung cancer and COPD. You inspire me to keep on going one breath at a time. Xxxx
Dear mrs Kate, how nice that Rita came for a cameo! I'm sewing the last bit of binding on my Grandmothers Flowergarden quilt. My two cats are always with me when I'm sewing. So the next project will be a little quilt for my cats. For you and all the people on the lime green sofa a warm hallo from The Netherlands.
I am also watching from The Netherlands, from Leidschendam, a little toen naar The Hague. I rally likes your way of working, you sometimes feel to make production with your machine, . I have a pile of 2 " scraps warming for schreef moment. I love the cats, it feels really setting on the limegreen sofa Gerda
Hi Kate! I really enjoy your videos and glad to have a seat on the lime green sofa! Peggy from North Carolina, usa
Hi Kate. I have been watching for quite a while and really enjoy your videos. I’m in New Zealand and originally from the Channel Islands near France.
Good morning Kate, I’m from Northeast Ohio. You are a welcomed and calming presence for me at 3am when I’m unable to go back to sleep after getting up with the baby. I’m almost 60. I’m a retired nurse. My husband and I foster drug affected infants and I have some very long nights. Thank you for sharing. And give CatRita a snuggle for me 🥰
I'm from northeast Ohio, too. I love watching the videos as well. God bless you for taking care of those babies.
Watching from Launceston Tasmania Australia. 10pm Saturday 24th February.
I’m Marji from California and I’m 72 next month. I just found your channel a few weeks ago and started watching. I have had a bit of a hiatus from sewing as we’re going through my mom’s stuff. Between your videos and my niece organizing my sewing, I’m inspired to start back. Originally, I started with hand piecing and I think I’ll go back to that. Thank you!
I'm Kate in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington DC. I've been watching your videos off an on for years. I always enjoy them: the smiles, the stories, the laughter, the cats, and the projects. Thank you for doing what you do!
I'm Diana from Nebraska. I'm a 70-year old grandmother of 12 and I have 3 fur-babies of the feline persusion, too! 🙂 I also am interested in everything....I garden, do photography, make my own soap, knit, crochet, embroider, and just recently started quilting.
I love your channels, Kate! You appear to be 100% authentically yourself, which draws people to you. Watching your videos is like sitting down with an old friend for a chat, over a cup of tea. You make everyone feel welcome and included, which I appreciate!
Hi Kate, I'm from Ontario, Canada. I work at a fabric shop and I had a customer come in looking for EPP papers, she said she got hooked watching your videos. I said that it was amazing that she came in and that we were both following you. I just love watching you put together your quilts. Thank you to you and Anna.
I am from Ontario, too! I love Kate’s videos!
Hello, I.m also from Ontario. Still quilting an EPP quilt that I put together a few years ago. So relaxing.
I'll watch EPP, I think it's amazing, I'm not ready to try it
I am also from Ontario. I'm just finishing an EPP quilt in double bed size. Almost 2 years in the works.
Hey how was your day today I hope you had a wonderful day today 🌹🌹🌹
I have just seen the Guardian article about you. I learned so much about you, It was a very good article.
I also saw the article, but I think one of the things they didn’t mention was that during the COVID epidemic you were a life saver. I know I wasn’t the only person living alone who had to shield and seeing you , Arne and Carlos and Michelle Krall everyday made me feel a little less alone, so thank you❤️
I'm a 56 young female from Alexandria, Louisiana in USA, 5 years into the quilt making. Love your videos on both channels, great tutorials, tips and tricks. Your hand stitching has inspired me to incorporate it into my quilts. I also love watching Anna enjoy her journey of quilting. Yall make a great team. ❤
Hey how was your day today I hope you had a wonderful day today 🌹🌹🌹
Hi Kate, Im living in Tasmania, I was told about your channel by a new member of our sewing group. We meet every other Monday and make quilts for Charitie's. I was originally from the UK, lovely to hear that accent. :)
Hello Kate I am from Nairobi - Kenya and am 70 years old - I watch all your videos and love them thank you
Hi Kate, I’m 67 and live in West Sussex in a tiny Victorian cottage with my Husband 3 grown up daughters and spaniel Milo, it’s a bit crowded and chaotic but I love having them all around me, as someone who can’t even sew a button on so that it stays put I am fascinated watching you sew and create, I love quilts and watching you make magic is so calming in a crazy world, cat Rita is a beautiful girl, thank you for sharing a little of your world and your lovely family with us all. 💚
I am a customer service agent for MSQC, I was helping one of our customers and she told me about you. This is my first time watching. You have a lovely program. I've never tried English paper piecing. This may be in my future, well after I finish a few of my quilt projects. Thanks for a great show. Pam in Spring TX
Hi Kate & everyone,
I am from Wellington, New Zealand and currently living in Berwick, Victoria, Australia. Love Cat-Rita, she's a lovely little ol'lady XO Thank you Kate for all the varied content, I love seeing what's new after a long day at work. It's amazing, whether it's watching a new video or rewatching previous ones, I always feel so much better for doing so.I don't know if you realise just how good for the soul your videos are - THANK YOU! XXX
As a person who celebrates small victories, EPP is perfect. Taking a moment to hand sew two pieces together is a win, two halves of a star joined a milestone and completion of a quilt a triumph. Your joy and calmness is infectious Kate, thanks for sharing your projects with all of us on the LGS. Love from OZ.
Hi Kate and cat Rita, I am from South Texas, US. I once took 11 years to finish a quilt, I am 70 and have made many quilts. love your channel!
Hi Kate ... I'm from a tiny, very old 'New England-y' town in Massachusetts ... settled in 1644 ... and absolutely love your videos!!! I'm so happy you showed up on my RUclips home page one lucky day!!!! I'm a long-time quilter ... 45+ years ... with a giant box of finished tops I'm working to turn into quilts, with the help of some talented long-arm quilters. Watching your work progress is a great inspiration to keep me steadily moving toward my goal. My quilting friends are used to me describing you as 'the lovely English woman on RUclips', and I've shared the link to your channel with so many of them. I love your calm and peaceful presence ... your positivity ... and your darling cats!!! Thank you for always making my day brighter ... be safe and well ... only 38 days till SPRING!!!
Another Massachusetts girl here
Hey how was your day today I hope you had a wonderful day today 🌹🌹🌹
Hi Kate, I am from Australia. I started English Paper Piecing 4 years ago. My dearest friend Therese started me on it. It has been a great comfort to me and kept me sane after losing my eldest son 3 years ago. My first quilt EPP won a 3rd place in a quilt show and I was so chuffed with the judges comments. My next quilt I made in honour of my son, and my dear friend custom quilted it for me and in the binding put my sons name on it. It hangs in the room that used to be his. Thank you for your videos they are very inspiring.
That is such a beautiful and also heartbreaking comment, sending you love friend ( Tassie, Aus ) . You have snapped me out of my anger with my son, he is living with us atm and has been struggling badly with mental health issues. Today after a heavy week of his moods we ended up arguing which resulted in me angrily storming off in a flood of tears and heading to the garden, I am about to go get some sewing supplies and plants and will let him know how much I love him before leaving!! My heart goes out to you, I cannot imagine having to live through such a loss. xoxo
Hi Kate, I'm in North West Tasmania at the bottom of the world. I find you so inspiring to watch. Your gental and informative commentary is food for the soul.
I live in the United States of America. I was born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming. However, I now live in a town of Glacier, Washington, population 210 people. I live at the foot of an active strata volcano, named Mount Baker, elevation 11,800 ft. above sea level.
I don't often comment, but love your channel. Thank you for asking us where we live and for offering us so many idea, and wonderful detailed quilting directions. You are the best❤.
I’m from North Wales, a small village between Wrexham and Mold. I have promised my granddaughter a quilt when she goes to University in September and you have inspired me to make a star quilt. The very first paper pieced quilt I made and designed began in a sewing class over many many months. Life got in the way…… I.e renovating many houses but the box of paper pieces and fabric came with me each time……so, 20 years later it got finished and I was very proud of it. Since then I have made a few more using varying techniques and now this star quilt is for Ruby to have when she leaves home. Just to add I am not a person who makes perfect items but I do value the fact that patchwork must be precise and that’s what I aim for……let’s just hope I speed up a bit otherwise it may mean she will get it when she leaves home to go to her first job. Thanks for your wonderful videos which inspire thousands of people from many parts of the world. X
Hi Kate, lovely to see your new project and the tutorial, I picked up some good tips there. I'm from scarborough, North Yorkshire and I'm making a cushion cover for my granddaughter out of epp rectangles, which I'm slow stitch8ng and embellishing. I'm a bit stuck on epp at the moment lol.
Hi Kate. I am from Austria in the middle of Europe. I live with my two boy cats in Vienna. I think you were my first patchwork channel abo. I love your little stories about you, your family and your cats. I sit on the lime green sofa a long time and I enjoy it very much. Thank you for all your friendlyness and kindness and all your love sending in the world. 🐱
I'm from the USA, Glacier, Washington, (19) miles from the top of Mt Baker, our active strata-volcano in the Cascade Mountain range of Washington state. Love your very informative English Paper Piecing instructions!
Rita is a jewel❤ and so are you!! Thank you for you share with us.
Hi Kate and Anna, I am watching from Glossodia NSW Australia and found you about 14 months ago when I moved back to my parent’s home to care for them as my mum is bedridden and my dad has dementia. I also work full time from home as an accounts clerk. When I need some “time out” I turn to you!!! I had actually started a hexagon quilt and it was my gorgeous gay son who showed me the process which is the same as yours, hand basting. He is a member of a quilters guild near where he lives and the ladies just love him. Funnily he is also a weight lifter so I say he needs to shop with me so he can carry all the fabric. 😂 Thank you for being my therapist and helping relieve some of the stress in my world. ❤❤❤
Hi there, another Aussie who enjoys watching Kate. I only discovered her very recently.
Hey how was your day today I hope you had a wonderful day today 🌹🌹🌹
Hello Kate and Anna, l watch you from Athens, Alabama,United States. I consider myself to be one of the lucky viewers as l have been with you since you were deciding on the perfect name for your videos. So much has changed since those early days, except you and your family. Your family is so talented and by example teach all of us what family should be about. Each video is a ray of warming sunshine, the smiles are like lights in the night because they are genuine and brighten our world. The education you so freely give us, well, no price is enough, you Kate and family are a blessing to this world and l am a better person for having you in my circle. Thank you with all l have for what you give.
Hi Kate, so many of your viewers are from far away places around the world - that’s wonderful. I’m watching from Shirley,Solihull - just south of Birmingham England (ten minutes down the road from the Cotton Patch Shop.). I have always loved making and gardening (I’ll be 80 later this year) and am very envious of your lovely home and garden - particularly your tree house, my 9 year old granddaughter would love it. So enjoy your videos and many thanks for all the time spent preparing them. With love, Jean
Hello neighbor! I watch from Huntsville 😊
Hi Kate. I’m in South Africa. It would be good to hear South Africa being mentioned. We always slip people’s minds but there’s a big quilting community here.
Love your videos and the Liberty tana lawn.
You don’t slip my mind, I used live in Zimbabwe and think of Southern Africa a lot. Am now in Australia 😊😊😊
Hi from Belgium. Rita looks a lot like my cat Doortje.
Hello Kate. I have just started a tana lawn quilt and I love watching while I quilt. It will take me a year of slow stitching. Thank you for sharing your sweet nature. I hope to become more positive in life like you. :)
I am from Battle Creek, Michigan. I have watched your videos for a couple of years. I am 77 and have sewn since I was very young. I enjoy all of your videos, most recently teaching Anna to quilt and building your cabin and pond. Thank you kind lady for your quiet approach to everything. SHARON
I grew up in Allendale Michigan and lived in Grand Rapids and then Muskegon till I was 37. We moved to Montana, then California and now have been in Reno Nevada since 1997.
My older sister was in the last school group that toured the Kelloggs facility in Battle Creek. I am only a year younger than she, and I was so disappointed that my class couldn’t go.
Hello Kate, thank you so much for keeping us company. I look forward to each new installment of your videos. I’m a sixty-nine year old woman living in rural Maine, United States with my husband, four dogs and two cats. I made a loose resolution this year to complete one quilted project a month. So far January has a full sized simple six inch block pattern quilt all of solid purple fabrics, my husband’s choice. Just beginning to sandwich a scrap, king size flying goose quilt together for February. Wish me luck. Blessing on you dear lady for encouraging, teaching, and sharing with all of us.
Hello rural Maine! Rural NY here. A scrappy flying geese sounds wonderful! Like Kate, I also watch Jenny of Missouri Star Quilt Company, and I'm so happy that I discovered her last September or so, and just when I had hand surgery around Thanksgiving, a video on crumb quilting popped up. No cutting really. With a bone removed from my left thumb/wrist, I couldn't do much, but I could hold fabric between my first and second fingers well enough to just randomly sew small pieces of fabric together. Honestly, saved my sanity for the first week or so. (You should have seen me tie my shoes without a working left thumb - slow, but I got it done.) I'm telling you this since you might have lots of small scraps left from the 'geese'. I have 24 10" squares of crumbs and it really became a favorite thing to make, even now that my hand is mostly back up to full strength. Take care.
Hello, Dianne, from Winterport, Maine. I enjoy Kate's videos very much. I like MSQC also.
Hello Kate. I’m 72 and live on a farm about 25 miles from the nearest town in the central part of Alberta, Canada. I have been watching your channel for many years. I am a quilter, bag maker and cross stitcher and have done a tiny bit of English paper piecing. Your quilt for Agnes was beautiful. You have inspired me to dig out a small English paper piecing project I started a few years ago! I’ve also been watching the Last Homely House Garden channel since its start. I don’t enjoy yard work but love watching your channel and your love of gardening. Can’t wait for the cabin to be done. 🙂
Hello Kate I’ve just found you on RUclips. The only hexagon quilt I’ve made I gave to my dear friend in the hospital. She protested that it was too special. To appease her I told her she could give it back when she came home. She loved it and gave her something cheerful to look at. Unfortunately she passed unexpectedly and it was much later that I remembered the quilt. I asked her husband if he knew what happened to it and with a smile he said oh yes it’s on my bed at home! Apparently it gave him some comfort too. Watching you work makes me want to make another one. Hand sewing is so comforting to me. Thank you and my husband and I followed our daughter from Washington state to Florida 3 yrs ago. 🙏🏻🐞
Thank you Kate. Love what you are doing!
Like your cat too.. beautiful animal. Watching from South Africa🎉🎉🤗🤗🌹🎊🌺🇿🇦🇿🇦
Hello Kate, I'm sitting on the green sofa in the Netherlands. Its a nice sofa to take a little nap in the afternoon. See You next time.
I started quilting at age 8 with my Irish grandmother. My first projects were all EPP. We used my dad's shirt cardboards for the templates and newspaper for the papers, and the fabric we used was cut up clothing. My grandmother insisted on 11 stitches to the inch. Those hexagons were hard work and i didn't like it. Now at age 75, after quilting all my life, I'm trying EPP again. And now I'm enjoying the process. I love your soothing, calm, relaxing videos. No glue for me...I hand baste. I'm still sewing and knitting and teach collage quilting at my local shop here in AZ. I also lead a group of quilters who "think outside the box". I hope to start an EPP class soon and will definitely recommend your videos. Thanks Kate.
Hi Kate I'm in Fleetwood Lancashire I'm 87 years young and also enjoy your ideas
and videos also with Anna who's coming along nicely. Not forgetting cat Rita who's a star
I'm from the small, remote state of Maine! Pine trees, rocky coasts, moose, chickadees , fish chowder, lobster, lighthouses, sea gulls, quiet rural villages, cold winters, with lovely sunsets and star filled nightly skies. I'm new to your channel. Love it
Morning Kate. I'm Belinda, from Sheffield UK. I just wanted to say that I saw the lovely article about you in the Guardian online this morning. Now, even more people will pop on to the " lime green sofa." Congratulations ❤
Hi Kate, I’m living on the Isle of Man and patiently wait for your videos to come up every fortnight. I enjoyed reading the Guardian article too. I love catching up with what you are doing and end up being inspired to do similar projects. I have a St Lois 16 patch quilt on the go and am building up a hexagon stash to do my own “Agnes” style quilt. Your influence goes far and wide.
Watching from Lindsay, Ontario, Canada, I always feel like you are talking across the table to me! Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!
Hi Kate, I am Catherine from Brisbane Australia and both myself and my 93 year old mum (she lives with me and I take care of her) enjoy watching you both in your home and your garden. Mum particularly liked the gown you made. Thank you Kate for all your sharing of your talents and lovely spirit ❤❤❤
Hi Catherine, sitting on the lime green sofa with you in Australia about an hour south of Brisbane. Kate is wonderful isn't she. Hope your mum is coping in this heat.

I' m watching and enjoying your paper pieceing, and your beautiful cat Rita. I live and watch you from Australia.

You're great viewing, thanks for sharing. Regards Judy Wheldon ❤

Hi Kate, I am from the Upper Kiewa Valley, NE Victoria, Australia, in a small town at the base of Mount Bogong. Your channel is my daily be kind to myself viewing. Thank you for being you. 😊
Kate. Have you ever considered the frequency of different fibers and fabrics..? There have been several scientific studies on the frequency of fabrics and how these effect the human body. ❤❤❤
A lovely hot cup of tea, gentle music and watching you do all the work…what a great way to spend my Sunday morning! Thanks Kate from a silvery morning here in Victoria on the west coast of Canada.
I'm a 74yo grandmother on the Fraser Coast in Queensland. I find watching your videos relaxing.
Hi Kate and Anna. I am from Australia near the beautiful Blue Mountains in Sydney. I love watching your videos and yes you have inspired me to start my own paper piecing quilt. Hand sewing has not been my thing but your passion has made me try. Thank you so much for all you videos. Love Sharon
I really enjoy your RUclips program. Your EPP lessons are spectacular. Your voice is quiet and calm. I can listen to you and my husband can still hear the TV without interference from the volume of your voice. I don't have to use my headphones. Merry Christmas and keep up the EPP. Christine frm Florida
Hi Kate...I am from the Philippines but living in the Algarve, south of Portugal now with my British husband. I had been watching your videos for few months now. When I was diagnosed with lung cancer, I started to watch quilting videos to get me back to quilting. I had been to a quilting class as a beginner in Lausanne, Switzerland when my husband got a job there. I made a lap quilt, hand stitched and hand quilted except when I sew the binding in but finished the binding with hand stitching.
Now, while I am on chemotherapy, I like to do something I enjoy to do so I decided to go back to quilting. I haven't done this when we lived in the UK, Singapore and Philippines.
Hi Kate, I am Ruth from Germany. 72 Jears old. Thank you very much for the inspiration you give to me and all the other people around the world. To see your kind of working and speaking is like a meditation for me. My English is not very good but listening to you makes it better bit by bit. I think, your cat Rita looks like one of your colorful Quilts.....
Hey how was your day today I hope you had a wonderful day today 🌹🌹🌹
Hi Kate, I recently subscribed to your channel, love watching you doing your projects, I’m watching from Australia, but I’m originally from Portugal, left Portugal in 1987 at the age of 20, keep up the good work, thank you for sharing your knowledge of it all ❤
I’ve been here awhile but now several friends are subscribed to your channel and we talk about your wonderful projects when we get together! We are from Central Texas!❤❤❤
Hi I’m Jo from Ripon, North Yorkshire. I find watching you so comforting. Having a hard time at the moment and your videos take me away from my problems. Thank you Kate. So glad I found you. X
Hi Kate from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia! Your videos kept me company last week while we were getting 150 cm of snow! It was dreary outside, but you kept us smiling and warm ❤
Cheers from just outside Halifax! You all were hit so hard… I’m hoping today’s snow stays offshore 💚
Hi Kate, I am a Scot living in New Jersey. I enjoy your gentle, honest videos. They remind me of folk back home, who I miss.
I watch this a while ago! But it is so interesting I wanted to watch it again! I love paper piecing and I loved watching you. I am going to give a try to make some curtains like yoyrs! I have 42 containers in the garage! So I am ptR
Just saw your video for the first time. I love your sweet mannerisms! Such a sweet personality and I love making things by hand too. I have all my life! My father taught me to embroider when I was seven years old and have been doing some sort of needlework ever since. Quilts and cross stitch have stayed my favorite over the years! Going to checkout your Facebook and watch your previous videos! Love your beautiful little kitty! Enjoy your day! Shirley
I think you have picked the perfect fabric and pattern for your new granddaughter and I look forward to watching your progress. I've been watching you for years now and have shared your channel with many quilter friends. I'm from Rome, Georgia but have lived in the Knoxville, Tennessee area for 29 years. When I can't sleep at night for worry I turn on your channel and your calm voice and lovely projects are better than any medicine on earth. You are a blessing (and Anna also!).
Dear Kate, I do EPP with grade 5 pupils (11 to 12 years old) and they have just finished their first hexie-flower! It is amazing to watch them handstiching and I hope that at least a few will remember this and keep on as adults 😀
Thank you for all inspiration ❤
Love from the Swedish West Coast, Barbara (textile crafts teacher)
Hello Kate
Love your EPP projects that are on the go and it’s how I have quilted for years. You inspired me here in Northern California 3 years ago to start EPP. Your garden space has been an inspiration also. Thanks to you and your family for creating this community.
Hello Kate, I'm from very distant Argentina and have been watching your videos for ages, made the trip around the world quilt inspired by you and learnt so many other things that you have so generously shared with us. Thank you so much for your placid and interesting videos.
Hello Kate. I am from South Africa. Although am a full time teacher I love spending my free time in front of my Bernina watching your videos. It feels as if I am in my late mom's house spending time with her, learning from her and having some tea with her. Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you. Baie dankie.
Hi I'm Michele, I'm 59 & live in French Pyrenees (near to Perpignan). I'm married with a married daughter & a 16mth old grand daughter who is the joy of our lives ! I've been following you for about 4 yrs now & your videos bring me much peace & inspiration. Love to you, Rita & your family xxxx
Hey how was your day today?
Hi Kate, I live in Australia. Your videos are wonderful and inspire me! I love your gentleness and the way you teach. You speak of your family, pets and friends with such respect and love that I feel like we’re all sitting chatting with a cuppa and our sewing projects at the table.
Hello Kate and greetings from Zaragoza (Aragón, Spain). I love to seeing your videos and listening to you. Liberty fabrics are beautiful, I agree, but I think, is you who do the magic : ) Thank you very much indeed for sharing your know-how.
Kate, I love how you enjoy starting new projects all the time. ME TOO! It lets your imagination go wild,which is half the fun. You and I are not alone,there is a tribe of us. Why deny ourselves when it’s so stinkin fun!
Count me in the tribe!!!
Me too!😊
Hello Kate, I am a weaver and I don’t do quilting but I love listening to you and looking at the magnificent pieces of fabric. thank you and I live in Quebec, Canada🌷
I am watching you from Costa Rica. I am from the USA. I learned to paperpiece on-line using freezer paper ironed on my fabric. That is all I knew. I am learning from you!
Hi Kate, I'm Catherine and I'm from Northumberland! I love your channel. My mam does a lot of quilting. She does it properly with patterns etc but about 30 years ago I spent 3 years making a paper quilt out of clothes my mam and I wore. I had no idea what I was doing but I'm very proud of that quilt and I really enjoyed making it. I'm thinking of starting a Boro style throw for my sofa. Thanks for letting us see your homely life!
I'm from Texas in the USA. I love your videos. And I think cat Rita is a beautiful kitty. So glad she made an appearance today.
Hi Kate I'm from Figtree NSW Australia (80 kms south of Sydney). It is a beautiful summer's Monday morning here. Have been watching you and Anna for about 8 months now and really look forward to your chats to all on the lime green sofa - a warm hello to everyone.
I’m watching from very hot hot south Florida, USA. Atlantic side. Great to stay in my air conditioning and slow stitch! I’m making a rap around robe printed with large peacocks.
Hi, I'm from Vancouver Island, Canada. I've been really enjoying your channels for a couple of years. I quilt and sew but not EPP yet. So glad Rita appeared. We just adopted 2 kittens as companions for our 4 yr old scared male cat. He's much happier now.
Hello Kate
I admire your patience, the pedagogical way you show us how you do the stiches.I follow you from Algeria , you articulate very well ALL the words , I am so glad to understand all what you say .Thank you very much.
Hi Kate, Anna, and Cat Rita. I am Tiffanie from Kentucky. I have machine sewed some here and there my entire life but when I decided to research how to do EPP, your videos came up. I have been so inspired. I did a 2.5 hexie throw quilt and have started an Agnus size 1 inch hexie quilt too. I bought the Kaffe fabric to make a little pouch like yours and I can’t wait to make it. Thank you for all of your inspiration. I have been farming all my life and the simplicity of your life reminds me of mine. So far away but so close in ideas! Have a wonderful day! Thank you again.
There is no time limit on any project - it needs to be something that makes ur heart sing - before , during and forever after its 'done'
I found you a few weeks ago and am thrilled I did. Your videos take me back to the 1950s watching my granny and great-granny hand quilting. I'm in Missouri in the U.S. and your videos make me feel like I'm sitting there with you. Thank you so much for being there.
Hi Kate I love your videos I'm getting over breast cancer and now I've got two grandchildren coming in June your so talented and I love your garden I sew knit and garden keep posting love from Scotland
Hello Kate. I love your cannel. I’m from Michigan in the USA. I have loved sewing all my life. My grandma and Great Grandma lived next door. Grandma was a lot like you. Many different projects on the go. Great Grandma was blind but she crocheted rag rugs. I was fascinated as a child to sit and talk with Great Grandmas as she made rag rugs. What I wouldn’t give to have one today 60 years later. How I was blessed to have such great woman in my life when I was young.
I'm from Michigan too. Southeast
So enjoyed your paper piecing video. I'm on Cape Cod in Mass. I love quilting and my cat is named Happy.
Bonjour, I'm from France, I really enjoy watching you chat with us listeners of the world. You pass on your knowledge to us with such generosity and kindness. With you I enter a little heavenly space, where everything seems so easy! Thanks Kate, and thanks also to the internet translators I use from time to time. Have a beautiful day.
Hi Kate and Anna I am from Toronto Canada and love love love your videos. You are like visiting a old and loved friend. You bring me much joy. Thank you for all you do for all of us around the world
You are so right! I have had that thought of talking to an old and cherished friend often when watching Kate.
Watching from Germany! Love your content and learned so much from it. My nephew in Seattle has since picked up your channel as well. I recommend it to all of my friends world-wide, especially those you need to calm down after a stressful day. ❤

Love this new quilt. Looks like stars spinning in a night sky. Would be lovely with a dark navy in the background. Like the night sky. All the best Kate. Keep doing you.
Kate, I have been enjoying your videos for a couple years now since we were knee deep in the pandemic. Watching from South Carolina. Cheers.
