- My cabin is taking shape very nicely! You can see the progress here @TheLastHomelyGarden-xw7tw
I have been using it quite a lot, it's a place I can spend an early morning hour or at dusk, I can watch as the sky darkens. It's cold down there at the start of spring here in Northumberland! This little tweed lap quilt is perfect to tuck over my knees!
I never thought I would see the day that I made a quilt out of tweed, but I think all these subtle earthy colours are going to look sensational in the cabin.
If you haven't already, pop over to have a look at my recently revamped website! I am really pleased with how it looks and am grateful to Rita, Anna and Pip who helped put it together.
I have some new treats there, along with some familiar things. I am pleased as well to be able to offer some of the tools I use every day here at The Last Homely House. check it out here

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate all these lovely comments! Settle down on The Lime Green Sofa - I just made Apple Cake! it's coming you way! xxx
Will you remind us the names of your other channels please? I'm new to your channel and love it. I would be interested in watching yours on gardening and the cabin. Thank you
Your apple cake is delightful! Thank you!
Apple cake is my very most favorite! Thanks!
Smells delicious! I can’t wait to take a bite!
Always lovely to see you too !
My husband gets up and talks to me and I say " I can't talk right now, I'm watching my friend Kate from england."
That’s how I feel exactly 👍
For certain....no interruptions when we're with Kate on the lime green sofa!
Love it on the lime green sofa!!
Ah, you can always put it on hold. Be sure to get back to your husband. My husband passed on two years ago and we spent a lot of time watching TV, alone and together. But I realized that we often put off talking to each other about important things. Pay attention to the times when you really need to talk to each other.
Same here.
I want to thank God for you Kate. Your videos help me through this cancer. Ive also been watching all your old ones. I don’t know what it is but you make me feel better and yes I sit and quilting crocheting and hand stitching. You are a good friend to us out here all over the world. Love you my friend ❤️
Kate, I appreciate the calm demeanor of your videos. It's lovely to see how you imagine your projects and then bring them to completion.
I love the way Kate explains things. I love that she opened her home and her life, to share with all of us. Thank you, Miss Kate!
Prayers for healing and comfort.
Blessings to you.
Praying for your healing, Theresa. And yes, Kate is such a positive force-she has cheered me up on many occasions.
Hello Kate. I am 70 years old, I live in Orland Hills, Illinois. I have never quilted. Watching you gives me confidence. I am determined to learn. Thank you for sharing your valuable skills. You're a sweetheart.
Hello from the northwest suburbs of Chicsgo! I applaud you wanting to learn to quilt. It is never too late and it is so much fun! Besides Kate’s wonderful channel, the best place to learn is in person classes at a local quilt shop, community classes through your high school district, park district, or local quilt guild. An internet search will bring up the ones nearest to you. Fabric shops may also be aware of local groups. Quilters Quest in Downers Grove has wonderful fabrics and classes for all levels. The Modern Quilt Guild meets in Chicago.
@dianemacisaac4633 hello I am in the northern suburbs of Chicago and was going to say the exact same thing about connecting with others who quilt. Thx
Dear Kate, another beautiful project. I so enjoy your homely place an watching your creative process. Just lovely! 🥰 Thank you! 🙇🏻♀️💚
“Frodo was now safe in the Last Homely House east of the sea. That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, ‘a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all’. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear, and sadness.” (I’m reading Tolkien’s LOTR) ♥️
Yes, Kate has a video on LOTR being the inspiration for her channel name. ❤
Rita... your LOTR quote sounds like something Pooh Bear would love.
How absolutely lovely. Our shoulders will melt down from around our ears, our anxious tummies are soothed, smiles return to our faces, a cuppa tea and a piece of apple cake makes all the world right!
Kate thank you for a lovely visit while making your tweed lap quilt! I am an American, but lately I have noticed you have influenced my speech: I have begun saying “I must crack on!”
And I have “stopped wittering”. Lol😅
. . . and what about " Whoops a Daisy" ? 😊
And I’ve caught my self saying “yeah yeah” 😂 and “Mum” and some others I can’t remember….
😂
Oh, I’ve said that too!
Love this lil tweed lap blanket❣️👏🏽👏🏽
Kate that reminds me of the first quilt I made as a child. I was visiting my aunt and she had a bunch of men’s suits. I traced and cut (very irregular) squares and pieced them together. We then tied it instead of quilting. It made a very heavy but warm quilt. Her church made quilts for the homeless. I hope it kept someone warm ❤
Hi Kate, I just love this quilt idea made from tweed and those beautiful Indian prints! So cozy and warm and unique. I’ve worked with flannel frequently for children’s quilts, either for just the back or the whole quilt of flannel, that’s very nice and warm for them. This is a great idea for us grown up children 😊, a warm lap quilt ❤
Thank you for your wonderful ideas. You’re so very smart & I love watching you!
Oh it’s just perfect for a pair of knees.
Kate, you are just so calming to watch and to listen to. At age 67 I have just done the maddest thing , coming out of retirement and joining an airline ( I have a wonderful ulterior motive!). On my 2nd week of training, my brain is completely frazzled but YOU have got me smiling and calm with your gentle , clear chat. A thousand thanks. Kx
Lovely job Kate!! May I suggest….?…..others may have already……that you tie here and there to keep the wadding from shifting? It will not take a washing very well either, the way it is now. 👍❤🥰
Thank you Kate I always enjoy spending time with you❤. Hello everyone who are sitting on the lime green sofa 😊
Hello lily from Australia 😊😊
Hello from South Florida USA 😊
Hello from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Hello from Carnoustie, Scotland
@@franceshouston3242Hi Frances, yes we can squeeze one more on to the lime green sofa 😊😊
I enjoy your channel so much. 😊 I'm learning so much. ❤❤❤
I remember my grandma, Violet having quilts made of the tweed fabrics. They were warm and comfortable to sleep with. I am 72 years old so this was many years ago. As I have grown older I have a deep respect for the strong woman my grandmother was. She grew and canned her own food. She had beautiful flower gardens around the lot her house was on. All her dish towels were embroidered and had crocheted finished edges. I have some in my hope chest that she made. She made a baby blanket for each addition to our family. As you can see she was an amazing woman. I wish I could have time with her and my other grandmother again. What a blessing she was to my life.❤
Beautiful
❤
I love this. I am Irish, my daughter is Norwegian and Irish and she married Ashish from India. I grew up, loving India, because my father was stationed there during World War II, and I grew up with artifacts from India.
This so touches my heart. I sent it along to my daughter.
Also, I love, absolutely love the cushion that was intended for the cabin, but for some reason it hasn’t gotten there because you’re using it on your chair, you’re sewing chair! I think I’m gonna make myself one of those !
I love the way that the Indian fabrics are managing to look bright and cheerful at the same time as they look muted and mellow. Very clever - and definitely look better as 5" blocks for a lap quilt.
Such a delight to wake up to a new video from you Kate. I would hate to think of life without you. It would leave such a big hole in our lives! You are so good for the soul.
Absolutely right. Every time I watch I feel better, like I’ve done something good for myself, but it’s Kate! ❤
Your quilting makes anything look lovely ❤
I love the tweed lap quilt 😊
Love the tweed blanket! Watching from Victoria Australia, where at the moment it is very cold and very wet! This is a project I can see myself making. Thank you.
Hi Kate, Ive been watching you now for a few months as I have just stumbled onto sewing late into my 50's. I couldn't tell you how I found your channel but am so happy that I did. I really appreciate the speed and tone of your channel. I am reminded of how watching Mr. Rogers as a child and also an adult made me feel. There was no pizzazz and no jazz. No flashing lights just an easy going show that brought you a lot of good information and you felt better and very relaxed after you'd watched him. I get the same feeling as I watch and rewatch your videos. I like your music choices and as an American I love listening to the beautiful lilt and accent when you narrate. So, thank you for giving of your time and giving this old bird some great listening material as I discover the fabulous world of sewing. M
Thanks Kate, have been gathering up old mens jackets to make a blanket and could not work out how to do it, love this idea. When its turned inside out like a cushion cover, then bind, simple and looks stunning, love it! Big Thanks, enjoying both your channels …s
I love the little tweed quilt. It’s so unique with the colourful back. And that wee cushion….soooo cute!
It is so comforting to see you removing stitches you just don't like. I spent half a day sewing pieces together the wrong way, undoing them, redoing them (wrong), undoing them again and finally getting it right! I know your reason was you didn't like the way yours looked and mine was because I wasn't paying close attention to what I was doing, but still - good to know you sometimes remove stitches for whatever reason! Hope spring has sprung in your neck of the woods. We keep getting glimpses, small samples of the beautiful weather coming our way, interspersed with torrential rain and very high winds on chilly days. Fingers crossed that the weather will be lovely for the eclipse on April 8th which is also my husband's birthday. We have family coming to North Texas from Minnesota for the big event. Trying hard to convince hubby that the eclipse was not ordained by God in celebration of his birthday. This will be his 76th so I have had many years of experience convincing him that he's not the center of the universe, but he's being particularly stubborn about this. Wish me luck! Love your channels, by the way!
Lovely cushion with these linen pieces and your stitching 😍
Thank you Kate for another great video. Your voice is like a warm blanket to me. Love listening to you talk. Your friend from Ontario, Canada.
Lovely blanket.
Watching you using tweed for your quilts brought back wonderful memories for me of my childhood. We would visit my grandparents in Northern Ireland for our summer holidays and we would have patchwork quilts on the bed. They were made from tweed but the squares were crocheted together with orange wool. I believe the tweed squares were from samples as one of my uncles had been a salesman who traveled around the countryside with his case of samples. Oh boy that’s showing my age 👵🏻. Thank you for the memories. 🧵🏴🇦🇺
My Mom made a full size quilt using wool clothing found at thrift shops. Your lap blanket reminded me of her quilt!
Love this style Lap Quilt ,thank you so much ,.❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely, your tweed quilt is stunning, need a wee bit crochet in the cabin too 😂🧶🏴
Hi Kate, you could always add some black, Navy, brown, purple or red yarn ties the way they tied wool quilts in days gone by. It would add a vintage touch and a bit of color. Love the tweed and cotton combination...so rustic and cozy.
Kate, here in the states we call little cabins "She Sheds" they are used for sewing and like a little retreat place. Yours will be a lovely place.
I love that very much, I like both sides & I think that’s going to look so beautiful in the cabin♥️♥️🌺🌺
I love your beautiful lap quilt. Good idea to add the lovely indian cotton.❤❤❤❤❤
So nice to see you again Kate! Our weather is gray-possible snow coming to Denver, Colorado. I needed to see what you're working on today...is tweed the same as wool as in a man's suitcoat? I have some of my husband's coats that he wore to work but now is retired and I can't hardly get a tie on him any longer-HaHa. I've been under the weather and now trying to get the house in order and cleaned for Easter...not sure if I will get through it all. Hope all is well for you. Very sad to hear the news for your Catherine-I pray the press leaves her alone as she moves through this journey. I fought cancer for 9 years and no one can ever understand until they live it, day by day by day. My favorite video was of you and your son, John, making the quilt together. I laughed, smiled and laughed some more... Thank you for sharing all of your wisdom with us.
This reminds me of Mom and her skirts she made herself and us 3 daughters.
Holaaa que bonita manta, me encanta! Admiro tu trabajo, que es más bien un arte, el amor que le dedicas es una bendición!
Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos.
A mi también me gusta mucho cocer a mano y el pachwork 😍
Saludos desde Venezuela 🙆 al otro lado del mundo 🌎🌟🍃⚘🍃
Love the difference of the tweed. Hope you have some heating in your cute cabin❤
I wish you would have shown how you added the wadding and got it to lay so flat after turning the whole thing inside out. 💖🌞🌵😷
Thank you once again for such an easy paced and lovely video. Sundays are always the best when Kate is on the scene. You are truly special to all of us. You bring back simpler times. We all rush around so much these days. It’s wonderful to have you show us your beautiful homely projects.
Bonjour , très belle cette couverture 😍 merci pour le partage ❤
Love the tweed blanket! Great idea Kate ❤
Hello Kate! I love the Tweed blankets! It appears to be quite cozy. I believe that the only thing I would suggest is that you might give some thought to marking and placing yarn knots every-so-often to keep them from waring out. Both sides of the quilt are lovely and it would be a shame to have them weaken over time.
I accidentally came across your videos and much to my delight!
My mother who never had much used to use scraps and hand stitch all sorts of things! Always so beautiful.. she would fill her time enjoying her projects. I miss her.ThankYou and I have subscribed! Looking forward to you.
Good morning Kate Monday in Newfoundland so very cold lots of snow and icebergs in the harbour so that is why it is so cold. This is my favorite channel and now i got my friend into watching you. She comes over we have our coffee watch your videos. Love the curtains dont think ibe doing that but i could use something to my back door window maybe some day lol. Take care enjoy your week just knitting here. You knitting anything.
The Apple Cake is yummy. Thank you. And thank you for the tweed coverlet idea. I agree with you - it looks very nice the way it is without stitching the "sandwich" together. I hope you embroider your initials and the year in the corner. You could also attach a little pocket for chocolates when Agnes and her brother (when he is older) come to sit with you by the pond. As with all of your podcasts, this one continues the stitching inspiration. Stay safe and well. 🧶🪡🧵
I love that quilt!
Two years ago I made a tweed quilt using scraps of fabric left over from my sewing over the last sixty years. I backed it with some new woollen dress fabric I found in my attic . The result a quilt for the top of my bed in in autumn. It is full of memories of garments made over the last 60 years from pure wool tweeds from different parts of the British Isles. A wonderful personal memory
Dear Kate, your explanations of how you came to veer from your usual brights to sewing with brown thread and tweed, seemed to resonate with me. Quilting journey stories are just as meaningful as the finished project. And truly, you are such a good story teller.
I love sewing with brights, but like life itself, browns and tweeds come into our life and should not be ignored. Sewing is creating and we just have to figure a creative way to weave those brown and TWEEDY bits into our life story.
In the end you created a quilt story, beautiful and “unbound” that turned out to be cozy after all.
This therapy session has been grand. Thank you Dr. Kate of Homely House, East of the sea.
Wonderful idea to mix the fabric choices, bringing together different textures and countries. 🙂
Are you concerned with moths though? Leaving the "tasty" Harris Tweed in the garden house will be a temptation for the little "beasts". Because you will not use the garden shed/cabin so much, it will be left alone for the critters to have a party. Well, maybe you can set up some moth traps or lay out lavender and cedar. New projects, lol, making lavender pouches, haha.
I am so worried, because a few years back I had a moth infestation and it took me 6 years to get ridd of them. Every now and then, they still appear. I work with moth traps, moth paper, laveder sacchets and cedar wood. I also use whole black pepper, putting them in mesh bags. ( tried and proofed remedie from my mother and grandmother from Egypt) 🙂

You are such a treasure for all of us who tune into you. Thanks.
It is so peaceful to watch you and your creative ideas. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I love seeing things in England and I watch a lovely lady, Corrine, in Australis doing slow stitching. Places I will never see in person, being in Evansville Indiana USA. I enjoy the difference in culture's and yet we are all so much alike. Amazing, isn't it? Sincerely, Carol Creation's BTW, I'm 86 and still creating.
Your lap quilt is beautiful! ❤
How lovely to see you today ! Just when I needed a friendly face and no quilt police. Just do what feels good for you xxx thank you.
I love the greens in the tweeds.
Kate, what a lovely lap blanket! I made one a bit smaller and I use it to cover my lap when driving in a cold car in the winter.
Love how you've made your lap quilt for the cabin. The tweed looks amazing backed with the Indian block prints. I'll sure you'll have a lot of fun making bits and pieces to go in the cabin. Wish I had somewhere to build one but never mind I'll be comfy on the lime green sofa. ❤Linda
You are such an inspiration Kate 🥰
I am thinking the small quilt needs more quilting so when it is laundered the batting will stay in place. Love the tweeds.
Thanks for all these program. I have been trying to catch up with what I have missed on the couch.
Kate, you are a darling! You make me laugh out loud and smile all the day long! Just a tip about your lovely tweed lap quilt. My grandma made many quilts from heavy wools for the cold winter nights in Wyoming and she always tied them. She used a red wool thread, so those stogy old quilts had this little red tied knot on top. When we were kids it was fun to fiddle with those red threads when we were wrapped up in one while watching Saturday morning cartoons!
Wonderful memories!! I remember "tied" quilts when I was young. I had forgotten all about that!!
My kids call this "memorylanning" - that magical time so long ago, when suddenly a word or phrase whisks us back in time to a happy place! Hugs to you Cecile!@@cecileroy557
The videos at The Last Homely House with Kate, I feel so renewed and for quite a long time, I've not known how to proceed in difficult times. This channel and Kate's sharing has been so healing. Love from Alabama, USA
Is there a demonstration video of when you made the Pantaran hanging behind you in the window!? I’d love to watch that! Thx! I hope you’re having a gr8 start to 2024 Kate, Anna and family too! ❤️
4_45pm Australia, love love your videos
I absolutely love the tweed.
What a lovely and interesting juxtaposition of fabrics, textures, and cultures….British tweed and Indian block prints. Kate, you are so inspiring, I want to make one of everything I see you make!
Isn’t it wonderful how those different fabrics harmonize! Lovely.
You are so resourceful!!! I really love this quilt, tweed is so nice and warm for those chilly days!
I love it. I would probably put some red ties on it, but I love it as is also. I would just feel it needs some kind of quilting so that's what I would do lol
I love tweed and I love your curtain-quilt! Those modest brown colours are so beautiful....
Thank you again for another lovely video. I watch on the lime green sofa with my grandson, who calls you Aunty Kate.
My great great Aunt made a tweed quilt from tailors samples. It is very similar to yours. She quilted hers with chevrons and it appears to have some sort of canvas instead of wadding . Thank you again. Xx
Love the lap quilt. You could add some wool tufts in a bright colour.
I love watching you make things Kate❤
Kate, you are delightful! I look forward to what you share with us, every day! I especially like your beautiful tweed lap quilt! You’ve inspired me to think out of the box, regarding types of fabric to use. Thank you! The backing material is very attractive. Thank you for your generous heart. You are bringing joy to anyone who can access RUclips! God bless you dear!
Hello Kate! I have to say that I truly miss seeing Norma appear whenever you say "hello Utube friends!"
I would always wait for her to appear, and even today! I was also wondering if Cat Rita is now the only one that you still have? I love the lap quilt, and I look forward to seeing more of them! While sitting on the lime green couch! 😊
Thanks a lot. The best to you from Uruguay.
Oh, I missed the apple cake. That must have been when I got up to take a close look at your tree window.
I absolutely adore the juxtaposition of the scrumptious dark tweeds, with the zingy block prints! What a lovely little quilt, with so much personality.
I like the fact that when it is folded it looks like a stodgy tweed blanket, then you unfold it and find a burst of bright colors inside.
Oh fantásticos ❤❤❤❤❤
Hello from Japan. I just finished two quilts I made with a gift of vintage Japanese indigos. A bricks quilt with bits of red and a capital t quilt that looks like little kimonos. Now I’m making two sampler quilts with a gift of vintage thimbleberries scraps and chunks. I usually work with cottons and tie the quilts with crochet thread and use no wadding but back them with fleece or flannel or a cotton sheet for summer. I love your relaxing attitude and all your creative use of fiber.
❤😊❤ Thank you Kate!
I just got back to the USA from visiting London, The Cottwald, Speke, Liverpool & Paris! I would have loved to have visited with you!
Lovely! ❤❤❤❤❤. Have a fabulous week! Best TeresaSue.
Kate, I’m doing some hand basting today while I listen/watch you create your lovely cabin accents. Lovely to sew with a friend on the lime green sofa. Blessings, Dawn
I love the lap blanket, it’s beautiful. 😁😊
What a wonderful idea, because at the moment I have the idea of sewing a blanket for the sofa from the many pieces of tweed I have kept. Now I know exactly how to do it.
And as I still have lots of pieces of viscose fabric that I didn't know what to do with, I'm very happy about this idea
Thank you so much!
❤the tweeds❤❤
Love this lap quilt. I think it would be cute with tying the quilt instead of stitching it.
Good morning Kate. I just found your channel at the end of February. I have watched all your videos and fell in love with your style. I do most of the same things you do and enjoy watching you and getting ideas. You have helped me get back into some of my crafts that have been sitting around collecting dust. I’ve enjoyed watching the cats and was so sorry when Prudence and Norma passed. I was wondering how Sadie is doing, i haven’t seen her on recent videos. I’ve loved watching the cabin being built on your garden channel. Thank you for sharing all your talents with us.
dear Kate......thank you very much for your video,I am a 64 old woman,living in the northern of germany and I love your videos...................never quilt before but now I am in pension and who knows....perhaps...............Blessings and Greetings from daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
Simply Beautiful lap blanket
Lovely cabin quilt Kate! I love KF & Tula Pink BUT your tweed squares & earthy backing make a beautiful quilt for your little cabin. Loving you from the lime green sofa 🤗
So lovely Kate but the back certainly screams you !!!🥰😍🤩
Se ve muy hermosa la colcha, dan ganas de acariciarla, la lana es estupenda en ese proyecto😊
Love your videos! You make quilting feel easy and comfortable. Thanks!
Wow, I finally caught up with time. This is the first 2:49 😢 show that is only 3 hours old. I have, I think , watch everything that you have out there, from 5 years ago up to today. Love the wool.
