Robin at RS Island Crafts kept me company while I sewed last night. She made the loveliest little bag which is in her Etsy shop, though its probably sold by now!

The Knitting Squirrel has the pattern for the mitred square blanket. It is addictive and a great way to use up your scraps of wool.

I am watching this in September 2024. I am having the best time learning about sewing. I also have been battling a cold so this is a good way for me to relax
Yesterday evening I felt a bit down, for no special reason, and I just wanted to say that a dose of Kate and the Last Homely House cheered me up no end. Thank you Kate for all you do. X
🥰🦋😊🇦🇺
SPOT ON🧚♀️
right! I instantly calm down and listen intently.
Baby jm
She is so nice and positive💕 I hope you feel better☺
Oh, I always wanted to know how string quilting was done. Awesome. Now I have another project.🎉
Hi Kate, I am watching this video AGAIN on August 23rd 2024. I never get tired or bored by watching craft videos and I have learnt and like EPP by watching your calm way of working with your hands. So thank you Kate, may The Lord continue to bless you with good health.
As I write, it’s June 2024. I have watched this video multiple times since it was first posted. Of course, Agnes’ quilt is now long finished so it was very fun to see it as a WIP again. And Norma! So beautiful seeing you with her again Kate. This may well be one of my favourite videos of yours.
I have managed to avoid quilting for all of my 59 years, and now this striping thing has me eager to give it a try. 😐😏
I watch people shop at the thrift store. I watch people exercise and cook... I watch them crochet, sew doll clothes and collect dolls...., I watch them shear sheep, and groom dogs. I watch men build stick huts in the woods and build gabion walls and fences.. I watch housewives turn crap from dollar store into designer knockoffs... Now I'm watch you sort fabric scraps...
I should have made that rhyme, but it might have taken time. I'll just sip my brandy and tell you that you're dandy. I will subscribe because I dig your vibe and the squares you put together look better than the weather.. happy New Year from snowy northern Nevada. 🤗💞💖😘
That will make a beautiful quilt ❤
Love it when the cats come in and hang out with you by laying on the fabric. M
Love the way the blocks are turning out!❤
I love watching the kitties!
Thank you for a lovely video. I wish my grown children could understand the joy we get out of playing with our bits and bobs. The end result pleases us, it engages our brain and stimulates our senses. Of course we can't forget a cat to stroke and talk with. Utter joy.
It keeps us young.
I really love watching The Last Lonely House. I feel like possibly learning a new something that I’m also visiting and talking with a good friend. I loved today’s visit because this is my favorite type of quilt to make. This is how my Grandma Julia use to quilt with scraps of old clothes and scraps used from making and altering clothes. She never threw away a scrap! I love looking at a quilt I make and remember a piece of clothing I made for one of my children or grandchildren or even myself. I also use muslin squares to sew my strips or crumbs onto the way she did just like you did. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us quilting friends. 🥰
"it's not a prize winner, it never will win prizes"...the bald unapologetic honesty of that statement was such a relief and comfort to hear. You gladdened my heart!!!
I was shocked how beautiful and colorful the squares turned out.
Love this idea. 🌞
Oh my goodness! I've been sewing ALL my life - worked as a seamstress and tailor MANY years ago so learned lots of little tips, but I never ever thought to always sew two pieces so you don't have all those insane ends! Kate - you are brilliant and I would LOVE to spend a day with you, playing with your scraps, your beautiful Juki and just learning from you. Thank you for bringing us into your home and I do love the moggies! xx
I loved your comment about moggies. In Australia, we call our cats by the nickname of Moggies as well‼️
@@patchworksmiley4655 Yes, it's definitely a British/Commonwealth thing!!!! 🥰
That is so pleasing! And the orange just pops. Thank you
I’m so happy, I found a younger creative businesswoman, just starting out with her business here in the USA. I am passing along all the fabrics that I was going to use by the pick-up load!
What a joy, at 71; to give my burden to someone who thinks it a blessing!
That is pure magic! Good for you❣
That looks like a Kaleidoscope ... love it and so easy, well you made it look so easy. Thank you
Kate, I would love to listen to you tell stories about every scrap of fabric you sorted- I would not mind a bit- really!
I love that blue and yellow with that bit of orange added! Just love it!
I love your channel! It’s very relaxing to spend time with you and your quilting. And your cats! ❤
Such nice sunny colors 💛💙💛💙 and I love my Juki, too. A real work horse 😄
Excuse me, but I always feel like a “we” when watching your video’s , because I just know you must hear all my comments and ideas, I say out loud during your videos ( along with everyone else watching)..and that makes me and everyone else a part of your
Creative project, certainly!☺️
....So yes l, I believe the use of
“ we “ is correct!
Wow that blanket is gorgeous. I would love to be able to knit something like that but my knitting skills are much to be desired
Absolutely! I agree completely.
I could listen to you all day! I really enjoyed your tutorial ..
Hello Kate and everyone on the lgs. Have a magical day💐 😊
Love the blue and yellow blocks! Thank you for all the fun!
Kate, you never cease to amaze me with with your ability to combine colours. These squares are beautiful!
Your ORGANIC Kate that’s what makes you so wonder ❤️❤️
My golden rule for making quilts is, "if it's too short add a bit on, if it's too long cut a bit off".
Hahaha
LMAO- GREAT ADVICE KATE👌😂
Thank you Kate! Love your gentle Spirit of light & love 😊
That "cup of tea" is a POND of tea!
Best, from Liz in Canada
I just watched fusion quilting, it is amazing. She made quilted squares and using a blanket stitch she crocheted them together.
Norma is so interested in everything, I love it❣️
It’s lots of fun to watch you sort through
Your fabrics, it’s therapeutic, ha!
Thanks Kate!❤️
For sure!!!🥰🥰
What a lovely comforting video.
I listen to audio books when I sew,or do other things, I love a good story, while I am creating things!
I like that you use fabric as a base rather than paper. Before I know that people used paper, I went to yard sales and bought sheets. I cut them in squares and used them for string piecing.
I enjoy it very much when you film yourself sewing Kate!
BEAUTIFUL podcast!!!! such a joy spending time with you !!
"We" always get such enjoyment from your adventures! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your life with us! Kisses to sweet Norma...
Thank you for just being you.
You could start with making a small one for a new baby, and then keep adding to it as the child grows. So fun!
What a wonderful idea.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, was wondering about how to make a quilt for my son in red an black, this is perfect. Your always an inspiration thank you for taking the time to film for us on the big green sofa. Much love
I just love to see all your projects, and it makes me feel so good to know I'm not the only one who has piles of scraps and unfinished projects stashed around the house!
you are most definitely not alone - just look to the right and left of you down the Sofa - as faaaar as the eye can see!!!!!!! xxx
@@thelasthomelyhousehello kate , ! like you , im I'm Learning all sorts of new things from making sour dough starter to milk kefer grains to kumbucha scobys , sewing w/ a machine , drawing and now teaching myself to paint ! Not too shabby for 61 yrs. Old ! I would really like to have an address where i can send you a little gift ( i am in central new york ) . Could you Please , rsvp , asap ! ;)
What a lovely project. I watch your channel from Cape Town South Africa all the time - never comment but do leave likes :0( but love your soft voice and stories as I work and sew. I am so sad to hear you are feeling poorly by your lovely children. Rest Well dearest Kate :xxx Penny Williams
I love how you use all the bits and scraps of fabrics. This is new to me, so not preaching to the choir in all cases. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ ❤️
I had forgotten how nice string quilts are. They have a lot of character to them.
Love string piecing. Such a reward for saving your scraps.
So I know I’m watching this in May 2024 and you may not see it….but Norma sitting in your project bins is exactly what my Lily loves to do. Right now she loves the tray with my sets of “Terry quilt” pieces ready to sew together (I assemble a bunch in layers separated by sheets of paper). It’s not a very big tray but quite cushy right now and she just sits there and looks out into the yard.🦋
Oh wow! The scrappy squares are superb. “7pm Kate” is the best time on a Sunday...I so look forward to watching. Thank you Kate. Love n hugs Dottie in North Wales xx
I just finished sorting my cotton and flannel scraps by color and wondered what now. Thank you for the great idea. I really appreciate all you do and your videos are informative, entertaining and relaxing.
I love your cats. My 3 are the same way & always have to sit on my lap or crawl across me when I'm trying to knit. 🙂
Hello friend Kate, I spent this weekend binge watching your previous RUclips videos. I have more to watch but I really enjoyed that time with you.
Thank you Kate, such a joy to spend time with you. I love, love your quilts. ❤️😊🌹
Thank you i love the quilt you just started. Love, love the colors.😊
Love all that fabric. When I moved 7 years ago, to my little townhouse, I gifted most of my fabric to others. Did the same with my yarn. It just didn't fit in my house together with my kids. Seeing you sorting to all made my sewing spark light up! It's time I a going to make my own clothing again. As I did when the kids were little, I sewed, crochet, and knitted all our clothes. Work came in the way. I get more time in the near future. So many ideas you spark, my sweet kate. Love to watch you ;>*
Yes ! I just discovered Kate and TLHH today. I'm addicted to her😇 lovely self. How I wish she was MY neighbor or Mama or friend! 🥰
@@Charlie-cz3jh She is your friend! X
I love the scrappiness of the blanket too, Kate.
The minute you picked up those tiger and cow fabrics, I said, "That's a mod outfit for Agnes!"
Me too
I’ve been sewing my entire life but have only been quilting for a few years & id never heard of a string quilt. I love it! So clever & pretty!
~ Melissa
The knitted blanket looks very *quilt-like*!! ❤️
Oh Kate! That is so pretty!!! And it looks quite complicated 😃😄👍👍❤️
The diamond pattern is delightful and I can’t wait to see the finished product. Seeing Norma always brightens my day, too. Thank you, Kate!
I'm cuddled with one of our boys right now, while listening to your chat. ☺️ Their mommy here was taken to the hospital for a few nights for respiratory issues, and they are glad to have me back. They also like to help me stitch and make cards. Adult daughter, and her 11 yo niece, both crochet, and their kitties like to sit close when that's going on. Our other daughter also has a knittlig loom. I feel so happy when the girls, and our son in law (woodworking) and their son (clay sculptures) have creative endeavors going on. My husband and older daughter do photography and he is a woodworker, also.
🥰💕I love the new strip technique you just made can’t wait to see the final quilt. Now I can’t wait to try it with my scraps. Everyone on the LGS is really enjoying the fun chat & all the snacks. What a great day together! Thanks Kate 🥰💕🧵🧶🏠👍👍

String quilts are so pretty & joyful .
Norma is such an absolute love bug 😻
That quilt is going to be gorgeous!!
I enjoy watching all your different videos because I can live vicariously though your various projects that I would like to do myself, but because of limited time, space, materials and/or funds, can't manage right now. Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Absolutely a gorgeous quilt for your granddaughter’s room when she comes to visit you and have sleepovers. I really do hope Agnes will take up quilting when she gets to be a little bit older. She will certainly have a fantastic teacher. Take care and stay healthy Kate. Cheers 😊.
I hope it pleases you to know that you’ve added a member to the choir: I have never seen string pieced strips. I’m quite excited now thinking of using up scraps in such a quick, easy, and very attractive way!
Hi there I must say .. I am just shocked at how beautiful your quilt turned out! I watched the whole time you were making it and I am not one for crazy quilt s and alll that busy a=stuff .. BUT, I think jut now as I was waching you place it on your little couch I think Its the most butifu one ever !! I love, love the lavendar and the bright yellow and navy blue flowers patches ,, just gorgeous!!! So enjoyed watching! Now I guess Im hooked!! LOV IT! DyAnne
I love that scrappy quilt and what a fun way to use up strips, odds and ends.
I love watching your videos. The interaction between you and your fur gals is beautiful. They must have been seamstresses in a previous life. 😀. Thank you for your videos. You’ve given me some great ideas. Xxx
You make it look so effortless! Love your videos ...it's like popping for coffee with a friend...keep it up! Thank you....
Oooh I LOVE that patchwork blanket. You have an eye for colour.
Norma is so funny! She seems interested in your projects, or perhaps she wonders if you are messing up her bed? Lol
Oh, I love your channel and seeing Norma looks exactly like our cat Missy. She even loves to rub up against me while all the time and is constantly on my sewing table. Thank you so much for your fun channel and your light filled home!!!1
The blues and yellows are absolutely stunning!! I so love that pattern and the colours Kate.
Just love your knit scrappy project. Colorful and so love it.
Kate I do that nearly every day in my teeny tiny home , and it just move from here to there back to where lol! So well done you . I always say we when it’s only me stay safe xx
You have two of my favorite things in the world, cats and fabrics. Love it!
Thank you I enjoyed that lesson in string quilting.
I love your quilts. Mine were always made in haste while raised my 7- children. Now I take my time making my 18-grandchildrens quilt. I make baby quilts for my 9-great grandchildren. I love it! Thank you for showing us your wonderfully made quilts!
Such a good idea to use up my scraps. The colours sit so well together. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished. Thanks Kate x
Wow! Wow! Wow! I just love your sewing machine so much!!! So happy to see you sew on it!!! Just a lovely video!! I like the way you have your scraps are right beside the sewing machine super cool idea!!! The block is super easy and just gorgeous!!! I love that block!!!
Kate, I just had to tell you ..... you inspired me to take my scraps of paper in random widths and made 6 x 6 blocks using a heavier base paper for the form to lay them on then used all random colors some solid some patterned and I kid you not they turned out lovely. Since I don't sew this did give me a way to use the scraps like you do your material. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Have a Blessed day.
that sounds really great! xxx
Hi... you're the best...so so homely. I like not only to watch you piecing bits of fabric together, but also to listen to your interesting narration. I too have two cats, and I can relate to you petting your pet whilst talking to us 😊. I too need to get back to patchwork and quilting, as I'm recently retired and need to keep myself occupied doing what I like. Wish you good luck with your future projects and lots of good wishes all the way from Sri Lanka!
Hello Kate! Your new project reminds me of Portuguese tiles!
I really like your scrappy, knitted blanket. It's interesting and being nothing but scraps makes it unique. Colorful, fun and light hearted! Like you, Kate! :)
those string blocks are just gorgeous! I like how fast that Juki sews a seam. I want one.
Love scrappy quilts, Thankyou for sharing Kate! 🇳🇿
I have plans for a string quilt too! Sew much fun. If your strip isn’t long enough, piece two together.
I really like your string piecing. Still looks spectacular without a primary center strip
I was looking at your home and wonder about you house plants. Can you do a tour of them with any stories or care instructions about them?🦌💌❤️🐑☕️🐝🌸📚🇨🇦
I love string quilting and I love blue and yellow. Right up my alley, Kate.
I started a string quilt but got far too organised measuring and colour coordinating, this version is far more fun and the finished product will be gorgeous. You’ve taught me so much about relaxing and enjoying my crafting, thankyou so much Kate. 🤗
I enjoyed your projects, you and your cats this morning while I drank my coffee. 😊. You inspired me to get back and get after several unfinished things that have been set aside. - with my own sewing cat 🐈.
Oh I love this so much. I'm starting one this afternoon. Your tv knitting project will be just the right thing to grab when you are a tad chilly around the edges.
You are a treasure! I just discovered you via Arne and Carlos whom I also love to follow. I am enjoying that we share interests in so much, quilting, knitting, and creating lovely bits to surround ourselves.
Love the yellow and blues together. Can't wait to see it finished.
I love pulling up your old videos, Kate❣️I am making a string pieced quilt for my great grand baby & wanted to watch how you made this one 🥰 It was a big help & affirmation that I am doing it correctly….so much fun to make & easy, really. Plus using up scraps 👏
I made a string piecing machine cover yesterday as my scrap container wouldn’t close! 🇨🇦
Oh! This is a better idea than the pillow I was going to make
What a great idea 💡 😊👍
Lord I love your home ! The natural lighting is lovely !
