    Also, A little explanation of 'leaders and enders' and 'thread bunnies' for the people I may have confused about these helpful little sewing tricks.

    Dear Kate, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your videos. I think RUclips creators underestimate their impact on others. I’m going to tell you a little bit of my story. My husband of 41 years died in august of last year. He was my best friend. A year before he died we adopted our four year old grandson, because my daughter has a severe mental illness. When I was young my grandmother taught me how to embroider. She use to tell me the back side of my work was like life it was messy. The finished top side was what we saw when we finally finished our work. The business of working through my grief has been like this for me. You have been a part of helping me work through all the pain. I love your inclusion of everyone. I have watched your videos and been able to laugh and be amazed at someone else’s creations. You have inspired me to move forward and I thank you for that and my little Charlie thanks you too. Blessings and well wishes coming your way from the other side of the lime green sofa. PS I don’t like to wear jewelry either or makeup, but I love to make it for others.

I find myself reaching to sip tea with Kate as she is very good at inviting us into the conversation. I have so many interests in common but my guess is that many others feel the same. I have learned allot of tips for which I am grateful. Watching her interact with her cats, birds, nature is so refreshing. I find myself laughing in ev video & mostly I feel a sense of familiar & calm. Thank you Kate, you are a natural at this & I look forward to watching more. ❤😍🥰

I dabble in sublimation, wood crafts, card making and my kids bought me my first sewing machine. I do t know much of any of my crafts but I LOVE TO GIVE GIFTS. “You are a breath of fresh air”. You are so inspiring. Thank You , Thank You, Thank You. Just want to thank you about the thread Bunnies. It helps with the bobbin nest but also unthreading my machine. That’s enough to make me want to quit. Sorry went on so long From California, USA.

    Dear Kate, thank you for this wonderful video. My day was a little rough with two tired little people and despite (or because of) they were so tired they could not fell asleep... but now it is quiet in the house and I got a while for myself with my knitting and you. I feel relaxed and filled with new energy to fix the kitchen and the laundry.
    And when I feel overwhelmed I try to tell myself that you might not have had as much creating time when your kids were small but times change and one day I will have a lot of creating time and miss those busy days.

    Thank u so much for clearing up the bunnies and beginner and ends. My mom taught me to use “ rabbits” because they multiply so fast . My friends call them spiders because of all the thread legs they wind up with. I definitely will use the beginning and Enders idea. The beads in the tunnel will be fabulous. My entertainment is watching you be so independent and creative. You make the best of your time making yourself happy. I want to be like you when I grow up. P.S. I’m older than you.

    Oh kate, you're living the life I dream about! I'm obsessed with beads and dangly things right now... and bunting is on my list... we have so many interests in common! The most beautiful thing is your peaceful location where you live... I hear noise day in and day out, and all night as well... people, skateboards, sirens, loud cars... how I wish... oh, how I wish... ❤🇨🇦

    How lovely, Id make them into cafe curtains rather that wipe up! Thanks to friendship bracelets when my kids were teens I have ridiculous amounts of embroidery silks, now the crazy quilt vs curtains debate begins. How lovely to live with bits of past loved endeavours, revisit and reinvent, the memories, the sources, its like revisiting a well lived and enjoyed past. My darling husband has long been sharing pic's and stories of a Snowy Owl family that comes back to an area he teaches at and every time I want to Share with John. wouldn't your leaders and enders make lovely button covers for pillows?! Festooned!

    My grandmother taught me to embroider when I was. Small child. She had a saying [form her German heritage]
    ‘Langes schnur,faules Madel” which means long thread ,lazy girl. I hated threading the needles so would cut a long piece and get tangled, and she would chide me as she helped me untangle the thread. To this day I can hear her voice every time I thread a needle.😊

    Well, my goodness! First of all,,,,can you possibly be more charming?! I made a cuppa to have whilst I watched you this evening.
    I was totally enamored with your cup and saucer! I love the shape of the cup, I love to wrap my hands around to warm them
    When I am doing oodles of sewing by hand. Then the Leaders and Enders! How wonderfully clever. Time went way too fast this evening.
    I’m so relaxed, and absolutely in love with your creativity and channel. Thank you so much for sharing your life. I’m a fan dear. Sending
    love and respect from Ohio, USA. ♥️🕊🙏♥️

Oh I wish I had the space for a poly tunnel too. But I will have to do with house plants. I love the information about leaders and enders. And again, why not. And what a smart idea about the thread bunnies❤. I will get be getting some started. Thank so much for sharing. TTFN

    I don’t watch any videos that aren’t mainly instructions but yours. Not to say yours aren’t full of knowledge & instructions for things & life itself. With you it’s like visiting a wonderful friend. And all the Duffy things you make & do remind me of myself. I have so many hobbies & supplies. Some of which are basket weaving, actually sold them for a time. Semi precious stone beaded jewelry. That’s comes from being a life long round hound. I have made allot of stained glass pieces. I’ve always been a sewer & made my clothes & clothes for my children when they were small. And that naturally became a love of quilting for the last 7 years. I also knit, crochet

      I watch all of your videos and will be trying quilting ( a cushion cover first). I don't have a sewing machine so it will all be by hand. This will keep me out of mischief for a while.
      Please keep doing what you do so that we can all keep watching and learning.

What gorgeous pieces to include on a quilt corner or in scrap books of the quilts or add or your journals! Bunnies get everywhere :) thank you for the visit, its very much a gift each time.

    This chat filled me with peaceful happiness, Kate. I love to embroider and so have many small pieces that I’ve started and set aside with the idea of joining them all together some day. When you hung the simple bunting strip out in the tunnel it brought a happy tear to my eye. Such a simple bit of whimsy along with the beads enlivens that space. Have a wonderful day!
