    Had to pull over for a pit stop at a tire center, while waiting, struck up a conversation with a man, a little stand-offish initially! His accent soon gave him away! Native to England he followed a woman to America and, though that didn't work out, he's stuck here!
    So, I introced him to your page here on RUclips, told him the name of your channel--and, he loosened up right away, "Yeah, in America people think the word homely means gangly or ugly, in England it means something entirely different..."
    And, as he stammered, I inserted, "Cozy?"
    "Yeah, 'cozy he said! Yeah!"
    So, I told him, "If you want a taste of home, just look up 'The Last Homely House/RUclips and you'll feel right at home!

      Of course I told him about your subject matter--and, that you've started a new channel for gardening--told him you have a beautiful "spread", an American word for land/homely house!

    I have found your videos very therapeutic in an otherwise emotional year …. Just listening while I sew and hearing about life at the Last Homely House is comforting because nothing is rushed, there is no sign of the outside world most of the time and your contentment in being creative and enjoying your outdoor spaces makes me realise that I can do the same too. Thanks Kate 😊

    I must admit I do like John’s layout. He’s not overthinking it like the rest of us do. It’s a bit like watching kids playing with colours and patterns, they just do what they like! The evil chuckle sounds like Gizmo the African grey parrot!

    Hi Kate, I’m new to your channel, I really love it! This is the 1st time I’ve seen the “no waste” method of sewing flying geese-wow, I’ve not tried any of those yet, but I’m definitely gonna & soon! That is after I’ve bought a copy of your quilting planner book-which looks great & that bloc-loc ruler too-wow, so excited to get back to quilting…it’s been almost 10 yrs since I’ve done anything “quilting’ & I’m so very EXCITED to get to stitchin & designing AND designing & STITCHIN!!!

    Haha, oh my. John is a great quilt designer! I loved how he didn't stress, he just laid them out. And then tossed the 2 left overs. haha. It looked great. The design book looks wonderful as well. Maybe for my birthday this year...and my calendar of course. Till we meet again. Have a wonderful week.

  • @WombatofDOOM53
    @WombatofDOOM53 Год назад +2

    I love John's layout of the quilt! That reminds me of when I would crochet scrappy afghans and I would tell my children to just grab whatever colour they wanted to add next. They are much better at being random than I am.

  • @sandysmith8567
    @sandysmith8567 Год назад

    John's antics crack me up. I saw something in a magazine that I think he would really like- Find an inexpensive basket with gaps in the weave. Make a little roof for it and run some twine thru both to hang it from a tree. Put thin strips or selvages in it and pull some ends thru the gaps. In the early Spring, birds will pull them out to make their nests with. How pretty that would be!

    My son Matthew can be just as mischievous as John when left to his own devices and unsupervised lol. So I had a much needed chuckle at John's antics. Thank you for the humor, John. And thank you, Kate, for including it.

    Watching this for the 3rd time Kate and Anna mostly because Dustin Hoffman's voice narrating Harry Nilsson's 'The Point' always plays through my mind when Kate says, 'It is nice to have a point'. Cheers! I so enjoy your videos, thank you.

    I only sewed one variation of a Flying Geese in the 45 years I quilt. I made it for my dying brother and called it
    Honeward Bound….He since passed away and his wife and son too… the quilt now belongs to my SIL daughter from a previous relation.

  • @Chercher4848
    @Chercher4848 6 месяцев назад

    Tell John he inspired me to lay out my flying geese all wonky as he did in this video. Like Kate, I love bright fabrics & even used all greens as my sky as you did. For the geese lavenders & reds all Kaffe. I added a 4” solid red border & backed w/a small purple Kaffe backing & bound with the same. A fun, bright 68” square quilt that will always remind me of John sneaking in & shaking up your blocks. 😂

    @karenfranson8890 Год назад +1

    I love your house, especially all the windows letting so much sunlight into your rooms. I have taken a few photos from several of your videos because all those sunny windows with their colorful curtains, and the quilts-in-progress, WIPs, on your walls and the finished quilts on the beds make a very cheerful sewing space and an overall delightful house! I just like to save those lovely, happy photos to look at often for a “shot” of endorphins
    flooding my brain. Each of your rooms is a work of art in itself!🥰
    I did enjoy John’s fun at the end, to “save you time,” and him tossing the two “extra” blocks which “she’s not going to need anyway.”😂😂😂

  • @ejd52
    @ejd52 Год назад

    It's really interesting how many different "feels" the same block can make: contemporary, scrappy, old time, whatever - just by how you line them up! What fun. But going back to color choices changes it up as well: how different green goose on pink would be & how lots of prints change the look from solids. That design board earns its place always. John's silliness really made me realize how the art combines with craft!

    @pattiecoxey 7 месяцев назад +1

    I just finished 16 blocks consisting of 4 flying geese units with a square in the middle creating a star block. Each piece was 1 1/2" each except the center square which was 2". It was a challenge because of my big fingers. Its hard to handle such small pieces but it was a lot of fun. John is hilarious! He probably understands now how important getting the same size on each block he sews together precise or it gets wonky pretty quickly. I do wish he'd of understood our craft is as important to us as his woodworking is to him. Maybe he does now 🤷💕

    I ordered the quilt journal so fast, faster even than ordering the ruler AND the Kaffe Fasset charm packs. And it’s all your fault. Seriously though, I love the block. I didn’t before because it was so fussy. And the burst of color healed something I didn’t think needed healing. Thank you Kate! I’m falling in love with quilting all over again. You are such a great part of my everyday happy. God bless ❤

    Four flying geese at a time is my favorite method. I made a flying geese quilt for my son. The geese went in one direction (north) with strips of solid fabric inbetween the rows. I like your idea of keeping all four geese together, after all birds of a feather flock together! John looks like he is a big help!

    @marjorysmith2340 Год назад

    When I started my first major quilt project, it was a sampler quilt block of the month project. I think I cried three times during the construction of the initial block because of the flying geese. I wasn't the most accurate, didn't know how to square up my blocks and the pieces of material frayed and got smaller and smaller as I ripped them apart with each set of errors. A friend finally rescued me, showed me what to do, as did the lovely folks at the quilt shop where I had to got to get more material for that first block. By the end of the project I was a master of the flying geese. The whole quilt is bordered with them and I got a lot of practice. I even lost a strip of seventy or so and had to remake them! I probably should dislike them after that initial project but I don't! I enjoy making them now and have made them four at a time when I can!🙂
