Here is the full tutorial from start to finish! I hope you enjoy making this block but don't feel you have to make as much as this!

Awww Katie dariln' please don't apologies for who you are or what you do. No one else can make you happy. No one else pays your dues. How you live life is no one's business but your own. If they don't like it they don't have to watch. Who you are is why so many of us watch your channel. We love your style.
Absolutely!!!
I love how genuine you are. You are so committed to being your real authentic self and not too concerned with others who don't like your style. I love watching you. You create so much joy to share with all of us on the lime green sofa. Please pass the biscuits down.
Dearest Kate,
I am so blessed I have found your channel. I have learned so much from you. I have silently been watching and finally subscribed to the channel. For the last 3 weeks, my children and I have been binge watching all your old videos. This weekend we watched the series you did on “mom’s quilts.” I don’t think I have cried as much as I did watching it. What a beautiful legacy your mom left for you!! What a beautiful job you did finishing her work. They were all simply stunning!! ❤ My name is Misty Dutton and I am the momma of 12 kids, for the state of Ohio in the United States. 11 girls 1 boy. I see a lot of myself in you. I love seeing you excited about a project! I get the same way! Anyway sorry for the long post, just wanted to say I love your channel and all the great things you are doing! You are such a blessing to us all. I hope you have a blessed week. We will be in touch soon. Blessings from Ohio❤
Reminds me of a church window. So give me a thumbs up if you go through and read peoples comments, so I know how many do.
I absolutely LOVE calling your mind a “butterfly mind”. I just informed my husband that is what I have. So descriptive and beautiful.
I have a butterfly mind as well! ❤
Hello Kate. Just finished watching your postage stamp quilt. Knowing how much you enjoy your birds in the garden, I have a tip for you to help birds in general, make their nests. I keep an empty tissue box by my machine and when I cut stray pieces of thread, I just keep them on the box. Come spring time I set the box on my patio and watch the birds land and pick pieces of thread for their nests. Love watching you show. Keep up the good work. One of your friendly fans from across the pond, in Michigan, originally from Canada, in Ontario. Fondly KarenLynn
Dear Kate, I am so happy to follow along on your "butterfly mind" journey! It's never boring here at the Last Homely House and the inspiration is deep and wide. There's so much to see and do and make, why limit the sights and possibilities? I, for one, love the suspense of not knowing where we'll go together. Thank you so much!!
Well said!!
Perfectly put and said for me!!!
Agreed!!
Good to see you again Kate. Thanks for showing how you make the curtains.
Thank you Sherrie, that's so nice to hear! xxx
If we ALL worked the same way or enjoyed the same things, the world would be a very boring place. Keep being who you are!
Kate, it seems like we crafty people always have more than one - well perhaps we have anything up to about 10 different projects on the go at once. I love watching your videos, because they often send me down another rabbit hole to discover what's there. My machine is always up, the spinning wheel always out, knitting in the basket, hand stitching and embroidery in another basket, everything ready for whichever mood takes me. Thank you for everything you show us and the friendly way you have us join you in your very Homely House and letting us sit on the lime green sofa.♥♥♥ .
I am just started my postage stamp curtains.
I like that...."I can do it, I know I can." I had to change a flat tire on my car. First time with this car. The tire is up under the back end, and I had never had to change one like that. It defeated me for a while, but then I just decided, that I could do it, so armed with the not so easy instruction manual, I persevered, and changed the tire! The tire man couldn't believe I did it by myself.
I love your quilt curtains. It reminds me of stained glass with the light shining thru.
Your way of doing things suits me just fine. ☺💕
It makes my mom (and the man I live with) crazy with the many different projects I have going. It makes me very happy to know I can pick up my knitting, tatting, EPP, weaving, spinning wool, sewing clothes, crocheting doilies or quilting when in the mood.
Hugs from Washington state.
Hi Kate; I am currently on a staycation at my son’s house. His British Bulldog, Watson, watched your video with fascination. He never moved from my lap. You have a new fan.
Most creative people flit from project to project…kind of like bees and flowers 🌸🥰. It takes one to know one! ❤️
“Butterfly mind.” Exactly and beautifully said. 🦋
I'm missing my 2 JUKIS and old Thelma (my kenmore that was my mother's-in-law machine. I've been packing things for months as we will be moving out of state in a couple of months. We will be closer to my son and his family. His wife Bonnie is my best and dearest friend. They moved away last October. Soon she and I will be sewing and quilting again! Kate, you are delightful and I enjoy every video that you put out! Keep on being you!!!!!
Thank you! Good luck with the move xxx
I have had lightweight cream curtains for decades. Your curtains inspired me to start a beautiful mosaic for my 10 foot wide kitchen curtains behind my sink.
This is so wild for me!
Your videos are so relaxing and encouraging. I’m a quilter and sometimes I feel bad because I have so many projects started! I have 4 adult kids and I’m frantically trying to get their quilts done that I started 25 years ago. I have 2 done and the top almost done for the 3rd so I’m getting there. But you remind me not to fret and enjoy the process! Thank you!
You have no idea what a kindred spirit you and I are. I would love to meet you in person and give you a hug.❤ The way you live is what I dream for my retirement. Thank you for showing me it is possible!❤❤❤
I love your postage stamp curtains. Kate, you are so lovely to watch. I love how you talk as if each one of us is there in your sewing room.
Isn't it grand to be at a point in our lives that we can choose to have the variety in our day that we like and not all those things that we 'had' to do (read JOB)! I know I appreciate every day that I get to say Yes! I'll do that today! Keep enjoying life!
Working on lots of projects at once helps prevent repetitive stress on your hands. In case anyone needs an excuse!
I like that! I frequently quote "A change is as good as a rest" for my part.
What type backing goes on the back side
Excellent 😅
That can be your Therapy
Agreed! ❤
Thank you so much for your videos I love watching I feel like am right there in your sewing room or out in you beautiful garden. Or down at the cabin watching the enjoy your new space. It is wonderful how you make many so comfortable and feel like they are your best friends. I really enjoy that trip on the lime green sofa, and feeling we have been friends for years. You are a very lovely person and appreciate all the time you spent with people. Much love and peace to you.😊
I love the curtains. Very "stained glass" looking.
I Thought So Too Mary 🌸
Hi Kate, I’m watching this video a second time now and you mentioned all your projects and how like a butterfly you flit from one thing to another……I like to think of you as a butterfly that flits from one lovely flower to another, the flowers being all your lovely projects 🦋🌺🌸🌼🌻❤️
Kate the more you describe yourself and how your creativity and mind work!
The more ai recognize myself in your words?
Organizing all of these crafts and activities is something beyond me, however? Perhaps you could do some blogs on that area of being able to find your supplies when your butterfly brain flies to another project! I am so glad to meet you? I am 70 years old and never knew anyone else like me before!
Dear Kate. I am delighted to hear that you like having several projects on the go at any one time! I have always berated myself for being so butterfly with things which, I think, stops me actually completing them. I will now work on changing my mindset to embrace my scatterbrain and see if it will help to get something finished. Hugs, lovely lady. Kx
Kate.....that's what I love about your life and videos....always a surprise as to what we'll see! You'd be boring if you were one-dimensional. You do whatever keeps you HaPPy Kate😁 and I'll keep watching and being envious and inspired. Love. kj
Hi Kate I clapped and cheered when I guessed Pink🎉🎉🎉 pink and green are my favourite colours. Colour make me happy.
Keep well and keep cool in this hot weather 👩🏻🦳Goldie
It's not when we finish the projects, the joy is in the journey! Have a great week!
Oh Kate I'm right there with you..my husband ask why don't I finish a project before I start another one...silly what fun is that. My favorite seat in my house is in front of my sewing machine. I also love hand sewing and knitting. Love taking that outside and knitting or hand sewing. So Kate that's why the LGS survives.
I agree with you Kate. The joy comes when you just get up and work on the project you feel like working, it’s what brings you joy, no pressure, no real time constraints. I always have several projects on the go: weaving, sewing, hand stitching, knitting just putter around with. The joy is in the process and the finished product 🙂
Many cannot understand why we take beautiful fabrics cut them up and sew them back together. The symphony of colour in your curtains are the answer. ❤ the flitting between projects like a 🦋 it keeps the mind alive and inspiring us all to challenge ourselves.
I found you last year while at work when it was quiet and slow. I enjoy watching your channel. I too like scrappy sewing and hand piercing. We are kindred spirits.
Since finding your site a few weeks ago I can’t seem to get any work done around my house! All I do is watch Kate create, and I love every minute of it.😂. I think I am living vicariously through you as you have the country lifestyle I want now in my older age. Keep these wonderful videos coming, I think I’m addicted now to all the projects, kitties, and your sweet personality . Thank you for making my days so bright.
Love Agnes in her pullover.She is so sweet.
I think it just dawned on me why I love you so much, Kate.....YOu are the RUclips-sewing-knitting-land-Mr. Rogers!!!!! All of your american viewers will know exactly who I am talking about. It is the way you talk directly to the viewer, just like Mr. Rogers talked to his children viewers. He had such a calming, instructive, caring vibe that I was enchanted by him as a small child. It was the only show I was thrilled to allow my kids to watch. We never really did the tv thing because it is so chaotic to us. Its what draws me to you, while I am working on my own sewing, knitting, spinning, etc...calming, interesting, engaging & you give me inspiration and alot of Ah Ha moments. Much love to you from Upstate NY, USA.
Kate, thank you, I thought i was only one who "procrastinated" and that I was so bad not finishing something immediately. I have so many projects on the go and 50+ ideas mulling around in the head. Eventually I finish everything too
I dip and out of your videos as, unless I'm following something that goes over several videos, it doesn't matter when you post it, the videos speak to something I'm thinking of or something that is going on in my life. You are like a favourite aunt or a really close friend. You have reinvigorated my sewing buzz which I lost during COVID. Thank you sooooooo much 😊 ❤️xxx
Hi Kate. I'm a new subscriber and have been watching your videos at random. I find them so relaxing. Your quilts are amazing. You give me inspiration to have a go.
You have such a lovely family and enjoy seeing them in the videos. Watching you teach your daughter in law to quilt is lovely as you are so patient. I wish I'd had a mum I law like you!
I also love your colourful cosy cottage. It makes me happy and a little envious!
Thanks Kate. Xxx
Kate those curtains must have taken you at least a couple of years to complete. I’m in awe of you .
I approach my "projects" like I do my reading. I have several, sometimes as many as 5, book that I'm in the process of reading. I have one on my bike, one at my bed stand, one at the sofa, and a couple more scattered here and there...........Mostly because I have different moods and opportunities. My projects take on a similar vision. So , Kate, you're not out of sorts with the way that you do things. Makes perfect sense to me..........lol lol lol. I LOVE that you involve all of us in whatEVER project you're currently working on. It's inspiring. Blessings to you from the New Hampshire/Vermont border, USA.
Kate, you are so much like me, I too have many projects on the go at once, I do quickie projects but most of them take time. I love the color pink. I should paint my kitchen pink. My class room was pink and no one liked it but me. I loved going to work in it. My bedroom curtains are half square triangles that was a quilt top that never was finished. I love them. I am going to be making my living room curtains the same or maybe the squares. I have been looking for curtains for here but I do not like any of the factory made ones. I am going to be painting my chairs and creating pillows for them. I am retired and have nothing but time. I have even made socks. I wish my husband was with me still he would have love the old me come back. I was creative as a young wife/ mother then work took my time. Thank you for all the inspirations. Love and Blessings
I too am retired now. In my young mom days my creativity just flowed, then like you work took all my time. It took some time for those creative juices to start flowing again, but I sure am having fun now. Drives my husband batty with all the projects I have going tho.
@@lorik8923 glad your creative juices are back. It took me a long time to get mine back too.
Well now I know…I have a butterfly mind. You’ve described me to a tee! I enjoy your posts so much. I learn something with everyone. Some are little tidbits, others are so revolutionary to me and you are always an inspiration! Thank you so much!
Like you, I have many things "in the works" at any given time. Kudos to you that on top of everything else you create, you find time to do videos for You Tube. I find I tell fewer and fewer people what I am doing as they don't seem to "get it". I asked one of my neighbors what she did for a hobby and she said "nothing". maybe watched an occasional thing on the TV. I take care of my husband who is ill and in a wheelchair. I love to cook and try new recipes, I sew (clothing, toys, quilts and small quilted projects) , I knit, crochet, needlepoint, embroider, cross stitch, refinish furniture, upholster, paint (acrylics and watercolors), keep house, shop, lots of gardening (I am currently hardscaping a walking path around the house and garden)...but I am never ever bored. So you just keep up what you're doing and enjoy your life. I understand completely.
Love you Kate, and your ideas! I’ve loved your curtains from the first time I saw them. One day watching your video, you were sitting on your sofa with a quilt draped over the back. I got out my scraps and adding machine tape and started sewing away and away and away till I had enough to start adding a one and a half inch solid color sashing strip, also making it multicolored. I made four pairs and put finished borders all around. I have them in my sewing room with clip hooks that slide on a rod. I love the light shing through and get lots of great comments on them, thank you!,
I love the way you think and live. I wish I had discovered you earlier, but I really needed you now, so thank you. I will enjoy getting caught up.
Oh my goodness, never apologize for doing things the way that suits you best.
I love your videos and your friendly manner. It's like visiting an old friend every week. I just finished a birthday quilt for a 5-year-old, a bookcase quilt for Father's Day, and a quilt for my son's wedding. I thought I was finished with multiple projects and could finally make a quilt for myself, but at the wedding, my new step-grandson asked for a quilt, as well as another member of my family (birthday in August), and two days later, we learned there will be another wedding in the family, and my son-in-law saw the pattern I was making for myself and asked for a quilt like it. I have also started two Hanten jackets, a light one for summer and a quilted one for winter. No matter if we do one project at a time or start several so we don't get bored, there is no such thing as "down time" for us crafty people. We need to be inspired and busy. LOL (Kathy, from Georgia, USA)
Hi Kathy, how wonderful! Sounds like you are going to have lots to keep you occupied for the next few months xxx
Hello Kate! I loved this...I have been dressmaking for a number of years and only recently came across your wonderful quilting videos. I have been watching and watching everything thinking "can I do this it looks very complicated?"...how thrilled was I when you described dressmaking as more fiddly than quilting...I suppose it's what you are more familiar with but you have given me loads more confidence to stop watching the quilting and just GET ON WITH IT!!! I have bought some fabric sample books from Ebay so I can have a cheap experiment at a simple square/block design...I promise I will send you a pic of the finished result...Good or bad 🤣🤣 thanks for all your amazing, relaxing inspiration🥰 Wendy
Kate,I realize that this forthcoming comment is not appropriate to this present video ,( which I HAD commented on ) however I’m not sure that you would see it otherwise.
Again being rather new here,I was catching up on all your past videos . I was not around at the time of the cats’ deaths .I want to offer my deeply sincere heartfelt condolences . I had a cat called Andrew who had lived to be 18 years old. He was exactly the image of Norma. Seeing your old video about her while she was very ill brought bittersweet memories flooding back. My Andrew had been down to five pounds before he died. I know the pain you felt at losing a true friend.again, please forgive the “ intrusion” in this column . I wish I had been a follower back then. Never too late!
Love,

I totally get how you work on multiple projects. I like not knowing which I will pick up each day. I like letting my projects evolve.
Firstly, you're looking so well again. Wonderful! Secondly, my butterfly mind enjoys yours very much!
We all work in our own special ways, no need to apologise for the way you construct your life, its a journey and we all enjoy making our crafts whichever way we do them, and we all love to watch your videos and see your beautiful works in progress....
Dear Kate -- I do believe most of us would enjoy you Making Tea! You are Loved Dear Lady. From a warm day in New Brunswick Canada.!
You look so healthy and happy, Kate. So glad. You came through your struggles beautifully. Not surprised but definitely relieved. Agnes looks like mini mom. So cute.
Been a long tough last week and a half, then I found Kate's new video last night. Decided to watch today after a good night's rest. So glad I did. I too work like you Kate. The things I do bring me much joy. Thank you for sharing what brings you joy. Many of us enjoy the same things. I still love your curtains, too. Maybe I should do the same and make a lap quilt for the porch swing. Hmmm....
Fun blocks. Love your unique curtains. I especially enjoyed the glimpse of cute Agnes with her shopping cart.
In the past, I always forced myself to finish one project before I started a new one. Then I started to look at needlework channels, specifically crocheting and knitting and I learned the delightful terms wip- work in project and ufo-unfinished object. These terms let me give myself permission to have more than one project going at a time. Its so freeing. So, I understand the fact that you have multiple irons in the fire.
I like phd (project half done).
“So, what are you up to at the moment?”
“Oh” (carelessly) “just working on my PhD.” 😁
Carelessly. Carelessly. Have I spelt that right? The more I look at it the more odd it seems but the dictator is spelling it exactly the same as I did.
Is it like doing lines at school? After a while all the words look wrong and you find yourself seriously asking someone “how do you spell ‘the’ “.
Dear Kate...I watch every video of yours...some of them, I rewatch them over and over again...then one fine day, I received a review from U Tube and asked me about your videos, it was a survey...I told them your videos are very inspiring, knowledgeable, educative and you are a very good teacher indeed...have a great day, Kate...I am a quilter now...
My mother once complained “Don’t you ever finish anything?” and it hurt terribly. She’s been gone 17 years but the harsh comment is still there.
I have several projects going too, even finish most to gift to family at Christmas and birthdays. So NO to any guilt trips! Maybe it just takes a very intelligent person to keep up with them all! I will claim that bit of wisdom and pass it on to you as well. Thanks for the inspiration,Kate!
I have had this comment from someone in the past as well. While it wasn't my mother, it still got to me. But I too love the process of so many things, so finishing them is lovely, but like losing am old friend! The only thing that stresses my making mind out is if I have to do something on a timetable. It actually makes me take longer to finish these things ad they have a negative connotation to them then and I don't enjoy the making process. I've learned with my grandchildren to make things a lot larger so I don't have to get stressed it's not going too for them by the time I finish. My kids are getting used to how I work now they are adults! Enjoy your makes!
Okay, this is an old video, but...
... the fact that you don't rush your projects for videos is great, and there needs to be more of that sort of creating shared online! Most people can't churn out projects fast, and it can be discouraging, in the long run, to see others do that. Not to mention it just keeps feeding the consumerist, fast fashion sort of mentality that we struggle with in the world.
Kate. You’re my kind of girl. I absolutely adore hand piecing. My mind is full of projects. I ordered some Jen Kimball acrylic templates recently. I want them here immediately. My winter project will be a Trip Around the World….approximately 40” plus something for a table topper. I live in Minnesota USA so plenty of winter for a cool hand pieced project. ❤
I've learned that there are a few ways to call your scraps. Anything under 10 inches square and under is called cabbage. And I decided that strips and small squares must be coleslaw! Coleslaw can be used to stuff pillows or 🧸! In other words, a cat cushion can be made with cabbage and stuffed with coleslaw.
I think I Like that Idea! Best wishes for all your projects Everyone!
Kate I think we are kindred spirits. I work exactly as you do. You're videos are wonderful. Two years after finding you, you're still my dinner guest every Monday evening.
Kate you're a woman after my own heart. I also have many projects on the go. I certainly don't mind you're moving around your projects. I'm thinking I might make some of these curtains for my conservatory. It's lovely to see you with a smile on your face and happy about what you're constructing.
You are so easy to listen to, Kate!! And your videos are so easy to follow!!🩷🩷
I love the curtains you are making for the entry way room!! ❤❤
Kate, no need to apologize or even explain your work process. We are here (and subscribed) as we love to watch whatever you do, WHENEVER you do it..
I love your curtains. They remind me of a stained glass window.
Oh my gosh, I am so glad to find someone who works on many projects at a time!!! Love all your projects and especially Agnes' quilt, it is absolutely gorgeous!
I get it - having one project at a time going is like having one friend at time.
I love that you have so many things going on! That makes every video a lovely surprise. I too have my fingers in many pies as it were, do to physical and mental health concerns I'm not always able to work on the same project for long periods. This way I always have something I can work on regardless of my daily condition, and it keeps me busy! Take care love every one of your videos!!!!
Your videos are so inspiring! I've recently discovered you and your videos. I'm slowly catching up! I also have numerous projects going at once! Four knitting projects currently! They will all get done eventually! You are very encouraging and because of you, I am going to dip my toe into quilting at some point this year! Please keep doing what you do! I love sitting with a cup of coffee and watching your videos each morning. Like sitting with a friend!
It took me about 3 years to discover that I could like and subscribe when watching youtube on the telly. You have to use the up-arrow and the various options pop up.......doh!
Love your many projects. Makes me feel better that my own have been so slow. I enjoy working slowly. The rush to just get things finished wears me out.
I understand the sewing machine experience. A very satisfying experience that I really don't have words to express. And I learned many years ago that to go with the natural flow of my own life rhythm brings great contentment.
Morning Kate. I love your videos. I think that the majority of crafters, especially quilters, have numerous projects on the go constantly. Having so many different kinds of crafts keeps me from ever getting bored. I honestly don’t know what boredom is.
I do LOVE your accent also!!
No apology needed for the way you choose to work, Kate! I love how your mind works! You are unique! ❤ x
You've probably heard this before, but they look like stained glass Beautiful!
Warm Greetings Kate, I so enjoy your site. It calms me . and i just love where you live and how you look at life as you sew and and visit with your viewers. Thanks so much, blessings to you!!
I'm just watching all yr stuff u post. You are awesome. Yr style is refreshing. You are so encouraging
I am actually machine sewing while watching your video! You be you because we love your style! Blue Mountains NSW Australia
I love your description of ‘butterfly mind’! I always have more than one project on the go. I enjoy it very much. Cheers to your butterfly mind! You are an inspiration.
I said pink! I’m knitting with a pink color way yarn right now. I love going from project to project but mostly it’s sewing and knitting. Some journaling; I have different journals: sewing/knitting, one for each grandchild, and mine.
Keeps my brain “young.”
Great video...and I agree with you about the size of the squares. If they were bigger the look of the fabric would change. And I love the music!! Oh, and you are a natural in front of the camera. Your way of explaining is very easy to follow and you are sooo likeable!! Thanks.
To quote Forrest Gump, your channel is ‘like a box of chocolates’ that has all of my favourite flavours. Every week I’m inspired to continue pursuit of a more creative, fulfilling life. This morning when you talked about your creative process, it reminded me of the late Cat Bordhi and her Rio Calina Cowl, which is a free pattern on her website. I think you would enjoy it when you’re looking for a new knitting project. Cat is gone, but her daughter and some dear friends and colleagues are keeping her creative spirit alive. ❤️
Thank you for reminding us about the wonderful Cat Bordi. ♥️
I love the way you work 😂. You work like I do, usually I have 6 to 15 going at the same time. God Bless you Kate!!
I’m loving your curtains! I work like you- lots of projects going on at the same time. Gives me lots of variety. I’m retired and have all the time in the world!
They are so charming, and the new curtains in the extension will be beautiful. Thanks for sharing your process!
Love your "Butterfy Mind"! Lots of fun and little laughs together😊
Watching Kate always lowers my blood pressure. 💓
Pat Davidson I think you are fabulous. Very talented and love to spend time with you. You are the mother i never had.
I hadn’t realised how much the curtain lining colour influences the whole effect. I just thought that particular curtain had many more green fabrics in it.
I imagine a pastel pink lining would give a lovely rosy glow to the new room, especially in winter.
Happy making, Kate 🌸
I agree, especially since she plans on painting the room pink!!! Perfect!!!
Lovely idea
I’m so glad you have given us instructions on your lovely “mosaic tile” curtains which I have admired. I would have cut up small 2” squares and tediously sewn them together !! What a lot of unnecessary work on my part. So, thank you. I plan on starting mine soon. You have another video I’ve seen on the “stained glass” piecing with the French seams. I can’t wait to do those too. So,so pretty. Your videos are so calming. I really enjoy them.
I am pleased you are revamping the postage stamp curtains... I was messaging with someone on another sewing site on facebook who was asking how to do just this a few weeks ago and I pointed her in your direction. I hope she is here on the sofa and we will see her curtains soon.
Thank you for spreading the word! xxx
Sitting here whipping the edges of sails for my Ann Woods Handmade paper mache ship and watching and listening. I often listen to you as I sit and work on some handwork. Thanks for giving me something interesting to listen to while working on repetitive projects. :)
Your precious Agnes looks so much like you. Adorable
i admire your Postage Stamp curtains every time i see them as well as your Indigo curtains in your bedroom - so beautiful - i look forward to seeing you work on your new ones - that area is going to be so bright and cheerful - now lol - at the very end when you were throwing the scraps onto the floor - well some are large in which i'm sure you'll save BUT the tiny ones - i know of 2 ladies who save those and then use them as cat bed filling - just wanted to share - thank you Kate - i truly love your videos - be well and stay safe xx
