My mother in law loved cutting out quilt pieces. When she passed away we found tins and baskets filled with quilt pieces and the beginnings of quilts. My sister in law has since finished all the quilts for her children and grandchildren.
I usually watch your videos while I'm in my studio stitching. Its like hanging out with a new friend. Thanks for the lovely long videos, they are a treasure.
I had to laugh about your husband’s comment that nobody would watch your first video at 18 minutes. You can tell him that people are hungry for the wonderful knowledge you’re sharing and that your amazing success on RUclips is quite unusual but it’s because of because of your expertise. Thank you for being there and coming to us via RUclips. What a fantastic gift you’ve given us! ❤️❤️❤️
Dear k3n clothtales...you have taken me into the most enjoyable place. A place I didn't know existed. I have always tried to be so perfect and now I am traveling down a new road of adventure. Love my new adventure and so delighted you are there with me. Thank you so so so much...
I have just started watching this week's video, but had to stop right after your introduction and comment. You are an amazing teacher and deserve each and every one of those subscribers. It is like you have taken an ages-old techique, dusted it off, and made it very approachable. Congrats on 25K.
You have a lovely way of presenting, as does Marion, and your voices are quite soothing. I like that you are knowledgeable, and I never find myself shouting out ‘ no, that’s not right!’ , or something similar. I do envy (envy is a sin I know) your nerve and courage in presenting what you do. I’m a chicken.
I used to teach and give talks in person years ago and was a bag of nerves in the beginning. I think it's something you can learn. I am sure you are not 🐔🐔🐔❤️
I love all your knowledge of history of the British quilting traditions! Thank you! I am English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish! I grew up with out a mother or any living female relatives!
Your voice is mesmerizing and we fall under your spell. The added bonus is how you welcome us into your home and life while teaching us how to create your amazing projects.❤
Hi, Kathryn! This was for me a true class. I had never heard about this type of quilting, because I know almost nothing about it, I never tried it, but I was fascinated with the papers hidden in the quilts. I love hidden places, I am making three fabric books with lots of things that belonged to my family and the books have lots of places to hide things. Thanks for this so interesting information. I stopped the video to look up the poem. It really touched me, because I was that person, until 2013, when I had breast cancer and started seeing life really differently. Even in my worst moments (2023 was one of the worst years of my life), I now sing. I may sing sadly, but I sing nonetheless. I always love your company, because I am always stitching along when I watch your videos, so I like them long too 😉 💙🩷💜🩵💛💚🤍♥️🧡🤎
2022 was that year for me; my mom, dad, and husband died within a few months of each other, and I cried often. I still miss them terribly every day, but I can sing now as well. I love how you put that. This channel and a few others have helped me regain a balance I lost that year. Sending you gentle hugs and adding you to my prayers. ❤
@@406annie Thank you so much, Annie, and I am so sorry for your losses, I am adding you to my prayers as well. I also lost my mother in 2022. She passed away due to a severe psychiatric illness, but 2023 managed to be even worse. Again, thank you so much ♥️🙏🤗
Thank you Kathryn for all your fabulous tutorials, I am learning so much❤. My dear Mum was my inspiration for stitching and love of cloth and yarn, today would have been her 84th birthday, I will dedicate my flower to her ❤
I am new to slow stitching and am Addicted. Right now, I am working on another project of my own while watching these videos. It’s quite relaxing. I love your journals.
Beautiful piece and the history is fascinating. I have a new respect for vintage quilts now, this video has brought them alive and given them meaning. A piece of social history. Thank you for this background, thats why your tutorials are so interesting 😀
Katherine, I am so grateful for your channel. Years ago I started needleworking and using fabric in non-traditional hand done ways, but I didn’t know about slow stitching and I also felt constricted by these internalized rules of sewing. Finishing edges properly, keeping things square. Your channel has helped free me and show me that I can stitch and use fabric however I like and I feel so thankful for that. Thank you for inspiring us! ❤
Excited for this week. I love EPP and have a king sized 1 inch hexagon quilt on the go at the moment. Using up my stash and sewing together as a colour wash. Inspired by Kate at The Last Homely House when she did a quilt for her granddaughter Agnus. I have over 4,000 thread basted hexagons done (whilst having chemo last year gave me a good chunk of time) and 772 sewn together so far. On my week 3 piece I did some 1cm hexagons. That was fun but soooo tiny!!
Yes. I can relate my sister was always over her machine patching I saw I’d never sew a patchwork quilt by machine One day this friend took me into a quilting shop and I saw my first hand sown hexagon quilt I bought fabric and started sewing three years later x 3 km of cotton I gave birth to a queen size quilt And after stumbling upon your utube I’m excited to start again Thank you for your realness honesty
I love watching your videos and listening to you 'wittering'. I started stitching 1 inch hexagons together while accompanying my husband to chemo and radiotherapy. I sewed them in groups of 7 and they are now waiting for me to stitch them together as a whole. I'm hoping I will have a quilt to cover our bed when I have finished, but as we are in the process of selling up and moving I've had to pack them all away for now.
😂had to laugh at your hubby wondering how any of us could watch your hour long videos-tell them that’s why there has been an explosion of tribbles ….err I mean biscornu! We sew one each time we listen to the weekly videos😂. I’ll watch the video and just enjoy by listening and glancing up and seeing what I’ll need to prepare for and then go back and relisten and watch when I start actually making the item. (Btw the tribbles reference is from the old Star Trek shows from when I grew up and there was an episode where there was “trouble with tribbles”-little furry creatures that kept multiplying lol.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 😊. It has been a lovely, safe and friendly learning environment to be, so CONGRATULATIONS again. We never know what we have to offer until we offer it! In no time you will be at 20 more thousand subscribers. Congratulations. Great project. I find the history you shared so interesting. When video projects are interesting, I tend to like them to be long. Thank you for sharing your talents!
I've been doing a lot of half inch hexies before this. I love doing them. I 'm making a friend a needle case. She is going to sew a bear her first venture. Thank you again.
My mom makes Hexie quilt initially was 2” then down to 1” and now even smaller as she says she has lots of scraps lololol. She makes for everyone . And she got 10 grandchildren n five great grand . We all hv one each from her too . She so enjoys sewing . So I will show her this video. Mom is 89 🥰 and still sewing . 😘I love your tutorials.thank you ☺️
My 3X great aunt who was a school teacher in the Brecon Beacons in the late 1800s used her pupils’ work for the paper pieces. I have a large patchwork of hers without the papers and a smaller sample which I intend framing so that the papers show on the back. Really enjoy your videos - thank you.
I love listening to you chat as you stitch. Honestly on nights I can't sleep I'll put one of your videos and and it soothes me right to sleep. Otherwise I have my morning coffee with your new videos and plan my next journal entry. It's also so nice to be able to imagine your surroundings as you film since we've been given a tour of your creative space.
🎈🎆🎇 25.6k 🎇🎆🎈 Yay! Congratulations Kathryn! You deserve every one! What a lovely piece and the tea dying improved their tones beautifully. The patchwork with the tiny hexagons is lovely. Such patience but so worth it ❤️ When I was nursing in London (many years ago!) my flatmate (hi Jan!!!) handstitched a huge EPP quilt of pink, blue and cream hexagons all in Laura Ashley fabrics. She sent the company a photo of it and they put the actual quilt in the window of their Sloane Square branch. We were so proud of her!!! Mary x
Loved the bit of history behind the hexagon quilts , interesting how they used paper to help with the warmth. Oh your tea and coffee dyed fabrics turned out beautiful, I did watch you dye these and it did tame them down. Beautiful work ❤
Just stunning knowledge, you have and your collections of books Showen so far, I seem to get where you are coming from. EPP one of my favorites and that Quilt is just beautiful. Thank you, Katherine, for sharing your knowledge, Love and Inspiration for Cloth with us all, humbly appreciate all you do. Congrates on your milestone and may many more sub to you. Shared your channel out. Hugs from down under in NZ xx
Oh how I enjoyd this!! And also learning british textile history. You have such long traditions. In my vast country most people have been living so poorly " in the woods" , just battleling to survive in the cold and often also hunger that there haven't been almost anything left for making beauty. 😊We don`t have much quilting in our textile history cotton having been in those days quite expensive. People in Finland used wool and linen as they could be produced at home. So, very interesting, thank You! Not to say how much I love this week`s job. ❤
This brings back memories of my childhood when my mom used pages from readers digest to make pieces for quilt. This is my favorite part so far for bringing back memories I had forgotten
Hello from Canada! I’m still quite new to sewing and stitching but I love your tutorials. The weekly projects are such a fantastic way for me to calm my brain at the end of the day.
I love hanging out with you. I only did the weaving one. I made 3. One in cotton with cotton thread, one in wool with wool thread and one in silk with silk thread. Then life interfered. Need to catch up LOL.
So excited about this video! I have never sewed a quilt before but recently came across EPP and dived right in. I enjoy hand stitching a lot so this is perfect. I am using material from my mother in law's sewing stash, who passed suddenly a few years ago and is deeply missed. I have learned new things about EPP while watching this video. It is nice to see you chat with us on camera in the beginning and you do make it feel like I am sitting right there listening. I was not sure I would like the tea dyed look of the material but seeing it now, WOW!!!!! Love it. Thank you as always.
I love watching you do traditional EPP, I have been watching Emma Jones do it so I am giving it ago. It is like teaching an old dog new tricks as I am from farm land in Illinois USA and was taught to piece hexagons 60 years ago with no papers. The ladies all made Grandmother's flower garden quilts out of old linens and clothing. I as taught as a child to measure with a tiny tailors rule and make marks for a 1/4 inch seam, but after you had done it awhile you just knew 1/4 inch. I'm sure I won't change my methods at this late date but this was fun to try it. I am Gloria on Facebook.
I was looking at the Facebook group yesterday and was delighted to see how many people were trying EPP for the first time, and that most of them enjoyed it. It is wonderful that you have inspired so many people! Thank you for your lovely videos
I did a wall hanging using 1/4” hexagons I enjoyed doing it but I would not do another with such small hexagons again. I really enjoy all your videos. I am still procrastinating on my slow stitching.
I've found you, purely by chance. Last year , I decided that I couldn't make charity quilts any longer. I've got fans is to use so I'm looking forward to making smaller , mindful, projects. Thank you, this has come at just the right time
I could sit and watch your videos forever. I work on my projects while listening and watching you. You do so many projects that I would love to do myself. Happy stitching!❤
This was brilliant thank you. I’ve never heard of this technique let alone tried it. At first I thought I may skip this week as my sewing skills are new as have just found slow stitching. But your tutorials are brilliant and I managed to make it. Thank you.
I have been sewing since I was able to hold a needle. When I was five I made my teddy a dress. I cried when my mum had to cut the stitching away from the table cloth. On Saturdays I meet with my daughter and three of my granddaughters to do crafts . We have been doing this for some years. We did week 4 stitching and two of my granddaughters found it very difficult to not look at the strips. We will be doing week 5 this Saturday. I am basing all mine on the community where I live and I will make them into a small quilt.
I had intentions of going along with the weekly project since I start my retirement soon (was supposed to be in January). Finally watching the weekly videos inspire me to do other stuff…but I guess it is right in the spirit of the series. Taking a road and changing your mind along the way.
I love watching the long stitching videos - it's like having a stitching circle, except virtually.😅 Where I am, there is only one group at a library that meets once a month. And it's all the fiber arts together - knitting, crochet, embroidery, etc. So it's nice to have the youtube videos.
Every time, I watch one of your videos, I think ‘I’m going to try that! ‘ but now I have so many ideas so where to start! Thank you for your inspiration, I’m off to do the last bit of last years #100dayproject -a stitch journal and I’m sure you will there in quite a few stitches! ❤
With all the stitching I have done over the decades I have never done paper piecing, but I did remember that I had bought some plastic templates and I managed to find them! I am excited to try this. I will never do a whole quilt but it will be fun to do a page,
I am so happy I found your channel, You see I was a bit worried I was turning realy weird with my love for old cloth and worn textiles😅 I have never met anyone with the same interest! So thank you, you are my new (and only) stitching companion😍
I love the very long videos! I like to work right along with you, and I feel like I'm sitting with a friend and not doing it alone. Keep up the lovely videos. I'm new here just in the last month.
So happy I found your channel. I’m really enjoying your videos. I knit while I’m listening. I always wanted to try paper piecing and didn’t know how to do it. I do sewing machine quilting but would like to try hand sewing. Looking forward to your log cabin. Keep your videos going. Also your have a very nice voice.
Love hearing stories of quilt making absolutely fantastic. I like making hexies so relaxing and hearing needle going through fabric and paper is so soothing.❤
How lovely. It’s years since I did any paper piecing but my head is full of ideas now. I have literally thousands of old black and white family photos, too many to display in any meaningful way. I’m thinking I may use some of those as papers. Thankyou for your time and the inspiration x
I love your videos. Congratulations on 25K subscribers! When I sit and watch your videos I work on something (today I knit a washcloth) and I honestly feel like I'm sitting down with a friend who is also crafting, and teaching me about what they are working on. Your videos are so lovely and welcoming- so informative and instructional without being strict. I keep telling myself that I will make myself a weekly stitch journal and make these wonderful prompts - but I have yet to. Maybe I will catch up one day.
K3n the poem is a bonus for us along with the V & A information. Such a joy, glad you have grown so much so quickly. I will of course enjoy stitching along too. Thank you 😊
I love the idea of leaving special papers in paper pieced quilts. 💖 I’ve written this Mary Oliver poem in many of my daily journals. Those of us of a certain age, “get” it. 💖💖
I've asked to join the FB group - really looking forward to seeing what everyone is making! I absolutely love your videos - I am brand new but so thrilled to have found you!
I have just found you as I plan some slow stitching projects to do whilst travelling in our camper van. Thoroughly enjoying catching up on your content. Thank you! My husband’s phase is … ‘yes, I was wrong once on a Tuesday.’ 😄
Hi Kathryn , I’ve been watching you now for about a month. One day I was scrolling through my RUclips and there you were! I found you to be very interesting and very gentle and soft-spoken and lovely to listen to and watch. My grandmother loved to crochet and sew and other women in the family at that time quilted. It was that era… my mother knitted sadly she went to heaven in 2012 before Christmas and I miss her so much still. I’ve never done much sewing and have never made a quilt but just watching you today, I really want to tackle I think you called it English paper style Rosette! I have always loved materials and sewing things but I do a little embroidery, but I don’t know all the stitches. I spend a lot of time in bed because I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, osteoarthritis, spine issues. I enjoy heat about your personal life not to be nosy but to see how other people live. It’s very interesting how you and your husband bought a rundown French home and are remodeling it - and you live near a forest! you were talking about walking in the forest and all the flowers. I hope you do show us some pictures that would be wonderful. I love nature I feed birds and I just love it when they come and drink water and eat. So please don’t think you’re talking on too much! Thank you for being such a lovely teacher and such a caring person. Your horses are beautiful. I also looked up the poem by Mary Oliver, and it’s a lovely poem… reminds me of the song of Solomon in the Bible ❤️🍷🤗😊
Hello Kimberly I am so sorry you are poorly but so happy you are enjoying the videos. I hope to share some outside videos in the future, when I can figure out the filming 😉
Congratulations on your following 🎉🎉🎉❤ I love your tutorials and your teaching style And I love hexies 😂❤. My first paper pieces were made from sturdy adding machine paper and a protractor. No I use purchased papers or punch them from cardstock. A brilliant addition to the stitch book ❤❤❤ Sheila in California, USA
Being new to sewing, I learned a lot with this project. Also, I think I have settled down into a more meditate mind set and gained some more control over my needle. It was fun.
Thank you for sharing the book and some background on the paper piecing. The hand stitched cloth left with baby Charles is most poignant. A piece of tangible part of his mom/family. In that note, I think leaving some kind of writing on the material gives it its history and personal touch. Love your channel. And thank you for a long video upload, it’s more substantial than reels. 🌷Tess
I love it! Most times people use bride colors or soft romantic colors for the flowers but this vintage feel is wonderful. I like the background information. Please say hello to your husband from a fellow dutchie
Congratulations Kathryn on your success achieving over twenty five thousand subscribers. Love the little paper pieced hexagons, thank you for another lovely enjoyable video. x
Congratulations Kathrine on your 25k milestone! It doesn’t surprise me because you really have something to say, show and teach and i just really want to hang out with you ( as do 249999 other people ofcourse!). I am totally new to this paper peacing and hexagons but i will go for it ! Thanks again🍀💖
Hello, lovely video! I love the bits of history and the stories behind some of your fabrics. I remember the stories behind mine too. Funny how we remember such things.❤😊
Hi K3n I'm loving your RUclips tutorials im working on a king-size quilt quater inch hexis i love making hexagon any size 😜congratulations on achieving 25T
Part of why I like the long video is because of your voice and stories. I'm a huge fan of Mary O.iver. I'm going to use one of her dog poems in memory of my beloved Jake the beagle whom we just lost.

Thank you 😊
The French make fun of Americans for tearing apart cloth to make quilts. Whereas the French just quilt fabric itself. I had to laugh.
You are doing a wonderful job with your filming and teaching, as evidenced by the many followers! Thank you so much for all your offerings!
My pleasure, thank you ❤️
Dear k3n clothtales...you have taken me into the most enjoyable place. A place I didn't know existed. I have always tried to be so perfect and now I am traveling down a new road of adventure. Love my new adventure and so delighted you are there with me. Thank you so so so much...

I bought fabric and started sewing three years later x 3 km of cotton I gave birth to a queen size quilt
And after stumbling upon your utube I’m excited to start again
Thank you for your realness honesty
Hello Deborah and welcome, it's wonderful indeed to create by hand, the slow, 'old fashioned ' way ❤️

I am not surprised! What a wonderful thing. I did love Laura Ashley fabrics back in the day 😁❤️
Loved the bit of history behind the hexagon quilts , interesting how they used paper to help with the warmth.
Oh your tea and coffee dyed fabrics turned out beautiful, I did watch you dye these and it did tame them down. Beautiful work ❤
Thank you 😊 part two of the tea dyeing and the full reveal should be up on Wednesday 😉
Oh lovely will look forward to it ❤
I watch Roxy Creation videos quite regularly and really enjoy them.
Just stunning knowledge, you have and your collections of books Showen so far, I seem to get where you are coming from. EPP one of my favorites and that Quilt is just beautiful.

Hello from a fellow Kiwi.
Hi Ms @@ReallyJillRogoff Glad you and I are on the same beautiful journey. Will sub to you xx
Oh how I enjoyd this!! And also learning british textile history. You have such long traditions. In my vast country most people have been living so poorly " in the woods" , just battleling to survive in the cold and often also hunger that there haven't been almost anything left for making beauty. 😊We don`t have much quilting in our textile history cotton having been in those days quite expensive. People in Finland used wool and linen as they could be produced at home. So, very interesting, thank You! Not to say how much I love this week`s job. ❤
Happy you enjoyed it. I think Finland has some beautiful knitting traditions no? Perhaps they came from the need to keep warm. 😉❤️
Thank you Kathryn, you are so inspiring with all your knowledge and stories. 💕💕💕vicki

Hello from Canada! I’m still quite new to sewing and stitching but I love your tutorials. The weekly projects are such a fantastic way for me to calm my brain at the end of the day.
Hello and welcome 🤗
I love hanging out with you. I only did the weaving one. I made 3. One in cotton with cotton thread, one in wool with wool thread and one in silk with silk thread. Then life interfered. Need to catch up LOL.
So excited about this video! I have never sewed a quilt before but recently came across EPP and dived right in. I enjoy hand stitching a lot so this is perfect. I am using material from my mother in law's sewing stash, who passed suddenly a few years ago and is deeply missed. I have learned new things about EPP while watching this video. It is nice to see you chat with us on camera in the beginning and you do make it feel like I am sitting right there listening. I was not sure I would like the tea dyed look of the material but seeing it now, WOW!!!!! Love it. Thank you as always.
thankyou K3n, I love how you are inspiring us to think about what the themes mean to us.
I love watching you do traditional EPP, I have been watching Emma Jones do it so I am giving it ago. It is like teaching an old dog new tricks as I am from farm land in Illinois USA and was taught to piece hexagons 60 years ago with no papers. The ladies all made Grandmother's flower garden quilts out of old linens and clothing. I as taught as a child to measure with a tiny tailors rule and make marks for a 1/4 inch seam, but after you had done it awhile you just knew 1/4 inch. I'm sure I won't change my methods at this late date but this was fun to try it. I am Gloria on Facebook.
Hello Gloria ☺️
Love your patchwork ❤️ Thank you ⛄️
This is inspiring something purely fun! I need more of that. Thank you!
Gorgeous combination of fabrick! Love it!

I was looking at the Facebook group yesterday and was delighted to see how many people were trying EPP for the first time, and that most of them enjoyed it. It is wonderful that you have inspired so many people! Thank you for your lovely videos
I am enjoying that too, seeing people try it for the first time ❤️
I did a wall hanging using 1/4” hexagons I enjoyed doing it but I would not do another with such small hexagons again. I really enjoy all your videos. I am still procrastinating on my slow stitching.
I've found you, purely by chance. Last year , I decided that I couldn't make charity quilts any longer. I've got fans is to use so I'm looking forward to making smaller , mindful, projects. Thank you, this has come at just the right time
Welcome 🤗
I could sit and watch your videos forever. I work on my projects while listening and watching you. You do so many projects that I would love to do myself. Happy stitching!❤
This was brilliant thank you. I’ve never heard of this technique let alone tried it. At first I thought I may skip this week as my sewing skills are new as have just found slow stitching. But your tutorials are brilliant and I managed to make it. Thank you.
My pleasure, so pleased you enjoyed it 😊
I have been sewing since I was able to hold a needle. When I was five I made my teddy a dress. I cried when my mum had to cut the stitching away from the table cloth. On Saturdays I meet with my daughter and three of my granddaughters to do crafts . We have been doing this for some years. We did week 4 stitching and two of my granddaughters found it very difficult to not look at the strips. We will be doing week 5 this Saturday. I am basing all mine on the community where I live and I will make them into a small quilt.
How wonderful 😊
Such a nice learning process for young kid!
Loved this video, and I'm so happy to be one of your subscribers❤
How can I subscribe?
I had intentions of going along with the weekly project since I start my retirement soon (was supposed to be in January). Finally watching the weekly videos inspire me to do other stuff…but I guess it is right in the spirit of the series. Taking a road and changing your mind along the way.
Absolutely 😁 just have fun and go with the flow ❤️
I love watching the long stitching videos - it's like having a stitching circle, except virtually.😅 Where I am, there is only one group at a library that meets once a month. And it's all the fiber arts together - knitting, crochet, embroidery, etc. So it's nice to have the youtube videos.
It's been a delight, so glad I found you
Another beautiful addition, and inspiration for countless variations. Thank you K3N, and for introducing me to Mary Oliver.
This was so enjoyable. Love the hexagons and the history, also love the idea of using a letter as the templates. Thank you for sharing Kathryn.
Every time, I watch one of your videos, I think ‘I’m going to try that! ‘ but now I have so many ideas so where to start! Thank you for your inspiration, I’m off to do the last bit of last years #100dayproject -a stitch journal and I’m sure you will there in quite a few stitches! ❤
With all the stitching I have done over the decades I have never done paper piecing, but I did remember that I had bought some plastic templates and I managed to find them! I am excited to try this. I will never do a whole quilt but it will be fun to do a page,
😁 hope you enjoy ❤️
Aprecio mucho toda la información que acompaña cada uno de tus videos. Gracias! ❤
I am so happy I found your channel, You see I was a bit worried I was turning realy weird with my love for old cloth and worn textiles😅 I have never met anyone with the same interest! So thank you, you are my new (and only) stitching companion😍
Hi Anne, well if you are weird, we both are so at least there are two of us 😜❤️
I loved the poem! thank you for sharing ❤❤
My mom and sister quilt. I have unending admiration
Love listening to all of your stories!❤
I love the very long videos! I like to work right along with you, and I feel like I'm sitting with a friend and not doing it alone. Keep up the lovely videos. I'm new here just in the last month.
Hello Denise, you are so welcome, pleased you are enjoying the videos ❤️
So happy I found your channel. I’m really enjoying your videos. I knit while I’m listening. I always wanted to try paper piecing and didn’t know how to do it. I do sewing machine quilting but would like to try hand sewing. Looking forward to your log cabin. Keep your videos going. Also your have a very nice voice.
Thank you 😊
Love hearing stories of quilt making absolutely fantastic.
I like making hexies so relaxing and hearing needle going through fabric and paper is so soothing.❤
You are a beautiful soul,thank you for your time and love.
❤️❤️❤️
How lovely. It’s years since I did any paper piecing but my head is full of ideas now. I have literally thousands of old black and white family photos, too many to display in any meaningful way. I’m thinking I may use some of those as papers. Thankyou for your time and the inspiration x
Or maybe maps?
Both great ideas 😁
I love your videos. Congratulations on 25K subscribers! When I sit and watch your videos I work on something (today I knit a washcloth) and I honestly feel like I'm sitting down with a friend who is also crafting, and teaching me about what they are working on. Your videos are so lovely and welcoming- so informative and instructional without being strict. I keep telling myself that I will make myself a weekly stitch journal and make these wonderful prompts - but I have yet to. Maybe I will catch up one day.
Thank you lovely to hear that ☺️
Congratulations Kathry, we all really enjoy you sharing your knowledge with us, so much fun, Thankyou.
Thank you so much!
K3n the poem is a bonus for us along with the V & A information. Such a joy, glad you have grown so much so quickly. I will of course enjoy stitching along too. Thank you 😊
My pleasure 😊
I love the idea of leaving special papers in paper pieced quilts. 💖 I’ve written this Mary Oliver poem in many of my daily journals. Those of us of a certain age, “get” it. 💖💖
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Kathryn. Another lovely video. 🪡
I've asked to join the FB group - really looking forward to seeing what everyone is making! I absolutely love your videos - I am brand new but so thrilled to have found you!
Welcome, hope you are in the group ok ❤️
LOVED IT HOPE TO GET THE BOOK. I MADE A TABLE CLOTH OVER TWENTY YEARS AGO. LOL
I’ve just found you! Thank you for showing your beautiful piece!💕💕💕
I have just found you as I plan some slow stitching projects to do whilst travelling in our camper van. Thoroughly enjoying catching up on your content. Thank you! My husband’s phase is … ‘yes, I was wrong once on a Tuesday.’ 😄
Oh mine says that as well! Noooo there are two of them 😂😂😂
Hi Kathryn , I’ve been watching you now for about a month. One day I was scrolling through my RUclips and there you were! I found you to be very interesting and very gentle and soft-spoken and lovely to listen to and watch. My grandmother loved to crochet and sew and other women in the family at that time quilted. It was that era… my mother knitted sadly she went to heaven in 2012 before Christmas and I miss her so much still. I’ve never done much sewing and have never made a quilt but just watching you today, I really want to tackle I think you called it English paper style Rosette! I have always loved materials and sewing things but I do a little embroidery, but I don’t know all the stitches. I spend a lot of time in bed because I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, osteoarthritis, spine issues. I enjoy heat about your personal life not to be nosy but to see how other people live. It’s very interesting how you and your husband bought a rundown French home and are remodeling it - and you live near a forest! you were talking about walking in the forest and all the flowers. I hope you do show us some pictures that would be wonderful. I love nature I feed birds and I just love it when they come and drink water and eat. So please don’t think you’re talking on too much! Thank you for being such a lovely teacher and such a caring person. Your horses are beautiful. I also looked up the poem by Mary Oliver, and it’s a lovely poem… reminds me of the song of Solomon in the Bible ❤️🍷🤗😊
Hello Kimberly I am so sorry you are poorly but so happy you are enjoying the videos. I hope to share some outside videos in the future, when I can figure out the filming 😉
Congratulations on your following 🎉🎉🎉❤
I love your tutorials and your teaching style
And I love hexies 😂❤. My first paper pieces were made from sturdy adding machine paper and a protractor. No I use purchased papers or punch them from cardstock.
A brilliant addition to the stitch book ❤❤❤

I'm going to challenge myself this week by using 1/2 inch hexies. Fun, fun ❤❤❤
In the winter....my Grandpa always helped my Grandma hand stitch her quilts.
Being new to sewing, I learned a lot with this project. Also, I think I have settled down into a more meditate mind set and gained some more control over my needle. It was fun.
Lovely to hear that 😊
Lovely!
This is the first time watching yr videos!
I love the idea of paper piecing and I’m definitely going to see how to make the journal 😊
Welcome ❤️
Thank you for sharing the book and some background on the paper piecing. The hand stitched cloth left with baby Charles is most poignant. A piece of tangible part of his mom/family. In that note, I think leaving some kind of writing on the material gives it its history and personal touch.
Love your channel. And thank you for a long video upload, it’s more substantial than reels.
🌷Tess
My pleasure Tess ❤️
I love it! Most times people use bride colors or soft romantic colors for the flowers but this vintage feel is wonderful. I like the background information. Please say hello to your husband from a fellow dutchie
Thank you, I will say 'hi hi' to him 😁❤️
Congratulations Kathryn on your success achieving over twenty five thousand subscribers. Love the little paper pieced hexagons, thank you for another lovely enjoyable video. x
Congratulations Kathrine on your 25k milestone! It doesn’t surprise me because you really have something to say, show and teach and i just really want to hang out with you ( as do 249999 other people ofcourse!). I am totally new to this paper peacing and hexagons but i will go for it ! Thanks again🍀💖
My pleasure Machteld, hope you enjoy ❤️
Hello, lovely video! I love the bits of history and the stories behind some of your fabrics. I remember the stories behind mine too. Funny how we remember such things.❤😊
Thank you 😊.
Just beautiful.. looking forward to your log cabin project!
these are quite fun....made a bunch on our recent road trip, being the passenger , obviously. Easy to sew even on bumpy roads. 😊
Road trip stitching is great, obviously not when you are driving 😂
Well done, your videos are fabulous and inspirational Kathryn 🐨🇦🇺❤️
Hi K3n I'm loving your RUclips tutorials im working on a king-size quilt quater inch hexis i love making hexagon any size 😜congratulations on achieving 25T
Finally! I knew someone would own up to quarter inch hexies 😂❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy watching you ❤. I have an EPP going, it's been in progress a year or so.😮
Part of why I like the long video is because of your voice and stories. I'm a huge fan of Mary O.iver. I'm going to use one of her dog poems in memory of my beloved Jake the beagle whom we just lost.
Oh I am so sorry for your loss. How lovely to honour Jake in your piece. ❤️❤️❤️
The tea stained fabric has turned out rather nice. 😊
I thought about using some of my Mom's handwritten recipies in our first language, Afrikaans ❤ Thanks k3n
