I willl challenge myself to make flying geese quilt now. I admit they intimidate me but you have really shown a good example. I love the pattern of using 4 together. Love you, Kate.
Here I sit on a Saturday morning (2024) and I am enjoying this immensely. When John comes in and just does his thing 😂. Kate I like the flying goose block but I have been intimidated by it but I thinks shall give it a try
Miss Kate. My Quilt Planning Book arrived today Tuesday 6th 2023 with Hexigon Pillow lit in the blues and purples. They’re both so beautiful and your planning book is so well detailed and wonderfully made. Thank You Thank Thank You.
Whos cheeky kid is that?!?!? LOL 😄😄😄 Kate I have never been too fond of the flying geese but after seeing all those blues and greens together my opinion has changed. I adore blues and greens!
The Flying Goose block is an all time favorite. I have found more than 30 other blocks that use the Flying Goose block as a component of a more complicated block. Thank you for your lovely videos.❤
I think John's layout could be called Every Which Way!! Too funny the way he tossed the last two. I love making geese, and every so often I make a pile of them for the 'parts department' and save them for some day when I have enough for a quilt.
One of the few quilts I have kept for myself is a flying goose quilt, inspired by a previous video you did Kate, using scraps. The geese were made up of fabric I made from crumbs and just used a charcoal grey as the sky, and laid out in a rainbow sweep. I love the quilt because everytime I look at it I see fabrics that bring back memories. Thanks Kate
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!!! Your content is so relaxing & inspiring!!
Hello Kate, after watching this video I am courageous enough to start with a flying geese quilt. I have collected a box full of Kaffe Fassett fabrics and now a plan is growing in my brain to mix them with solids. Many thanks - I love your videos, your voice and almost everything what comes from over your way. Many greetings from Germany
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!
Also wanted to say as a new viewer of your lovely channel...I just Love the relationship you have with family. Especially Anna. My mother n' law was my best friend, my spiritual mother and we had quite a unique Mother/Daughter extraordinary relationship. Thanks for all your warm hugs over the e-Waves. Thank you dear friend. Also my grandmother that taught me sewing and quilting at a very early age as she had 5 boys, her name was Anna.
Haha, cheeky!! I take colour photos of all of the layouts that I try. It's amazing to see how different a quilt can look through a lens vs the naked eye. I sometimes change my mind after looking through the pictures.
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.
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!🙂
How exciting! The creator of Block loc rulers was in my quilt group, that is until her business took off and her time got precious! So exciting to know her product made it “across the pond”.
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. 😂
Kate, you really need a Sue Daly pink rotating mat to help you trim all those geese. Comes in two sizes and they are pink! You will love it. Brave lady to make all those geese! They are always a great challenge for me.
I really love these flying geese and these various way to use those FG! - I Love the fabrics- she used solids greens and love these designs of flying geese- love it!- Thanks, Kate and John😂🥰
Flying Geese are my favourite I think! I'm a new subscriber, and just love following along. Its like coming home and feeling comforted with tea and quilty goodness!! Your music is always so lovely!
I made a flying geese quilt after watching your earlier videos. I did the Dutchman' Puzzle arranglement. I used up a lot of scraps. The long arm person used a meandering all over design and I love it. So many memories with all those fabrics.
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.
Received the books I ordered from you today. Both my sister-in-laws who quilt will love them. I am not a quilter but make stuffed teddy bears. I love to watch your channel. You make so many things. I love all your cats. Kim Webb Idaho USA
Your videos always help me to relax. The soft piano music, your soft English lilt, the sweet cup of tea... whatever it is I find you calming and peaceful. Thank you
Love tuming in to watch, I love your approach to life and your craft. This new project is lovely, pink and green is a favorite combination for me. Looking forward to the finished quilt!
I absolutely love this block. I'm waiting for my bloc loc template so I can step out into the world and make my first ever quilt. I should be so confident as Anna is. She's very talented.
Hi Kate. I’m Lisa from Kentucky USA. I enjoy your videos so much.. I am very interested in English paper quilting. Currently I am working on making a crumb quilt. So much fun. Can’t wait to see your next video.
I love your videos. You inspired me to make an English paper piercing quilting. It’s my first one. Because I live in a tropical weather we don’t use quilting. But my kids and granddaughter live in Columbus OHIO, that has a very cold winters… I decided to make one quilting for the sofa. It has nearly 1000 plus hexagon 😮! It’s quite a big job. Tons of hand stitching. It’s a very calming job. Thanks Kate for your inspiring videos. Wonder music!
I enjoy watching all you make Kate, you always explain things so well and make it that much easier to have a go at making things. Thank you. Been watching you since you started at your spinning wheel in the garden.
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!
John your a riot! Your Mum is blessed to have you and your siblings along with your spouses and Agnes! Thanks for the tips Kate , you make it so easy. Enjoying your blog and as always, can’t wait for the next episode.
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!
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!
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 😊
Hello Kate I just received my thread box from your shop. Absolutely gorgeous! I also love the designs on the box and am happy to have a picture of you! The package arrived safe and sound. I am thrilled:) Thank you for all your videos. Barb
Luv yr book and quilt! John's so funny. So glad Anna's doing quilting with u. It's very special. I don't live by any of my kids so don't get to sew with them. I noticed yr pink glass on the table. I collect pink depression glass and I have both old and new. I love it so. I also collect some jadeite and I have the gold, pearl white, and blue Fire King. I luv those as well. So glad to see u and luv the book. Good idea, Kate. Luv you and all. Still waiting to see Anna's finished quilt. Bless u all and yr furry buddies as well. Hope all are well? Delia, Oreo and me. 😺🐈👵🧸🥰🙏
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 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.
Just received my LHH Quilt Planning Notebook in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Ohhh Kate, you, Anna and Rita did a spectacular job with the scrapbook!! I love it!! The paper you printed it on is THICK and fabulous! It's well designed, with PLENTY of space for me to plan and document. I've already started my 4 At-A-Time Flying Geese quilt and I didn't even have to draw the design, you did it for me 🙂 This scrapbook is going to be so FULL with fabric sample geese, photos and fabric labels, that I'm going to need a bungie cord to keep it closed. Thank you soooo very much. Only disappointment: Where are the cats or at the very least you could have snuck in a photo of your goose!
Kate, what a lovely video. Sending lots of positive vibes back to you and your family. * I will be making a flying geese quilt this year for the first time, and my eyes make me want that special flying geese ruler! LOL. My brain also adores lime green (that color really does fire up my creativity and focus) and look right there - a lime green cutting board. Wow!! I didn't even know they made that. This really got me laughing, because this is supposed to be a "no spend year." Have a beautiful June, sweet Kate.
Oh my Kate you make it look so easy ( the skills of a professional ) Anna’s choice of music is beautiful The book by you & both daughter-in-laws is genius for quilters ( not me) but I appreciate how useful it will be Thank you team homely house 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love cheeky John
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.”😂😂😂
A silly goose playing with the flying goose layout. In one section they're going to collide. I'm in Canada and our Geese all go in the same direction. One direction in the morning to feed and the other direction at night to meet up and roost. Quite pretty though, John. I really like it. I ordered your Quilt Planner. I've yet to see something with as much room in it. The one I have, there's barely any place to write anything besides the name of the quilt and the size. I think I'm really going to enjoy it.
I've not yet made a full flying geese quilt, but it's on my list as I love the history behind it, that it was used to point directions for fleeing slaves 😊
I willl challenge myself to make flying geese quilt now. I admit they intimidate me but you have really shown a good example. I love the pattern of using 4 together. Love you, Kate.
Here I sit on a Saturday morning (2024) and I am enjoying this immensely. When John comes in and just does his thing 😂. Kate I like the flying goose block but I have been intimidated by it but I thinks shall give it a try
I always gray scale my quilts. Makes it nice for balancing the colors throughout the quilt. John made me laugh when he threw to two blocks out 😂❤
Miss Kate. My Quilt Planning Book arrived today Tuesday 6th 2023 with Hexigon Pillow lit in the blues and purples. They’re both so beautiful and your planning book is so well detailed and wonderfully made. Thank You Thank Thank You.

Dear Kate you are such an artist. Beautiful. Love to see you making your art. Thank you.
I do like John's quilt it's great. I would never have thought to do that. Another designer in the family 😊
The green/red/pink and one direction pattern look like Christmas trees, I love it.
To see the affection that your peeps have for you makes heart so happy. More people should get to feel that. ❤❤❤️
How lovely to see John! He is such a giggle!
Your son John is so fun!! I so enjoyed watching him quilt with you.
Yeehaw! From southern US😂

I really love these flying geese and these various way to use those FG! - I Love the fabrics- she used solids greens and love these designs of flying geese- love it!- Thanks, Kate and John😂🥰

Enjoy watching your process on your quilt. John is a treasure to observe-does a nice twist on your pattern.
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 like the dizzy geese quilt. I am still working on mine.
Great fun and actually I really liked John’s layout - he wasn’t bound by any “rules”. Brilliant x
Oh but John is a delightful mischief maker 😂 😊
Very calming watching you put your blocks up on the design wall.
John's layout gets my vote!!
I actually quite like it but not him throwing the last two aside!
I like johns layout to x
@@margaretberryman6260 I laughed out loud when he tossed the other two aside !
Great layout John
Il liked it too 😂. Sometimes chaos and irreverence are the answer
Just saw John’s layout. It’s perfect. He’s very mischievous isn’t he.
The red and green goose block reminds me of fall when the gees come just before Christmas.
Kate it was nice seeing your quilt making book. The music was super relaxing.
John was hilarious putting his blockSs together.
Cheers
That was cute when John came on, yes I do like his version!
So pretty. John's a character. You have a good family. Thank you for sharing your processes. ❤
Received the books I ordered from you today. Both my sister-in-laws who quilt will love them. I am not a quilter but make stuffed teddy bears. I love to watch your channel. You make so many things. I love all your cats.

I like it when you sew 4 together...
Your videos always help me to relax. The soft piano music, your soft English lilt, the sweet cup of tea... whatever it is I find you calming and peaceful. Thank you
Love tuming in to watch, I love your approach to life and your craft. This new project is lovely, pink and green is a favorite combination for me. Looking forward to the finished quilt!
OMG, it goes without saying that I love watching and listening to you, Kate, but John's cameo appearance was THE BEST! 🤪
Such a satisfying little block. I made my granddaughter, just a few weeks younger than Agnes, a flying geese quilt!
I absolutely love this block. I'm waiting for my bloc loc template so I can step out into the world and make my first ever quilt. I should be so confident as Anna is. She's very talented.
Bravo John! I love your layout of your Mum’s quilt!!
So WONDERFUL to watch you sewing again💕 I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing! The lime green sofa is so cozy🥰
😂 Great job John! I hope you help your Mom with a wooden quilt block this Christmas(maybe a Barn quilt). I love your videos Kate❤.
Hi Kate. I’m Lisa from Kentucky USA. I enjoy your videos so much.. I am very interested in English paper quilting. Currently I am working on making a crumb quilt. So much fun. Can’t wait to see your next video.

I love flying geese! A flying goose quilt is on my ‘to do’ list too! Wonderful new workbook, thank you 🥰💕⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoy watching all you make Kate, you always explain things so well and make it that much easier to have a go at making things. Thank you. Been watching you since you started at your spinning wheel in the garden.
I absolutely adore this block, flying geese are my ❤️ favorite ❤️
I love John's improvisational layout! And the block toss was a hoot! 😂
I absolutely Love Love Johns designs. So very talented He Is.
I like pink and green fabric too! John has a nice way of laying out his geese. Love the grin at the end. LOL
John is a genius like his mother. I love how you three work together. Perfect teamwork. 😊❤❤
I LOVE FLYING GEESE BLOCKS.
Its going to be a beautiful bright quilt, thank you for showing us how you do it. I love that your son is involved, what a treasure.
I wasn’t going to comment but John’s layout is pretty good I must say. 😊 👍🏻
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!
John your a riot! Your Mum is blessed to have you and your siblings along with your spouses and Agnes! Thanks for the tips Kate , you make it so easy. Enjoying your blog and as always, can’t wait for the next episode.
I really do like Johns layout.
I love the way that John did them all different ways, I think that would be a much more interesting quilt?! xxx
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!
I love it when John joins in. Great lay out John😊
I love John's take on designing a quilt! What a nice surprise! LOL!
Love the flying goose design. It reminds me of traditional Korak designs that I found ages ago in a book by Ruth Tschudy.
I love how you are keeping the same coloured geese in the blocks. It's as if each little family stays togerther.
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!
Into the Naughty corner John. What a wonderful Mum you have she’s the best Crafts person I’ve ever watched.
I love John’s pattern selection! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
“I just saved her a whole afternoon” 🤣👌🏻
I have found your videos very therapeutic in an otherwise emotional year ….

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..."

What a goofy son! I loved that he was willing to try his hand at designing. I liked his haphazard design.
I'm a fan of what John laid out and that would be the way I would go!
Kate, what a lovely video. Sending lots of positive vibes back to you and your family. * I will be making a flying geese quilt this year for the first time, and my eyes make me want that special flying geese ruler! LOL.

Thank you team homely house 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love cheeky John
Hi Kate
Fantastic idea for the workbook. Ah...here comes John😎Never a dull moment😂💕
This is the best tutorial for fly geese. Thanks so much Kate. Love the groups of 4 and different shades of green
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.”😂😂😂
How can you not giggle when John is “helping” his Mum! ☺️
Your John reminds me of my son David, one of my five. He would do the same thing to me when I am working on something. One has to really love him.
Thank you Kate i am now starting my first flying goose quilt your teaching is 100 per cent brilliant
A silly goose playing with the flying goose layout. In one section they're going to collide. I'm in Canada and our Geese all go in the same direction. One direction in the morning to feed and the other direction at night to meet up and roost. Quite pretty though, John. I really like it.
I ordered your Quilt Planner. I've yet to see something with as much room in it. The one I have, there's barely any place to write anything besides the name of the quilt and the size. I think I'm really going to enjoy it.
I've not yet made a full flying geese quilt, but it's on my list as I love the history behind it, that it was used to point directions for fleeing slaves 😊
Kate, you know that I actually liked how John laid out your flying geese on the design board.....LOL!
I like using the no waste flying goose block method. Haha, I actually like John's block arrangement. He's a rascal.
John's artistic eye is shining
