Making a Colourful Summer Bear Paw QUILT! Tiny Pieces!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- I made my own Bear Paw quilt after the visit from Chris English where he showed me his spectacular entry for The Festival of Quilts, but I chose to make mine really small and they were a bit too fiddly to be honest, so I stopped when I got to 25 blocks. In this video I'll show you how I sashed these blocks and made a small quilt that might be a picnic blanket if ever we get picnic weather!
Some of these fabrics are Heather Ross and some are Free Spirit, the solid green is Sour Apple from Kona. I love how colourful it looks! I won't be working with pieces that tiny for a long time though!
It really is the support from my lovely Patrons that allows me to keep this show on the road and I am very grateful to each one of you!

Anytime I'm stressed, anxious or just plain annoyed! All of those feelings disappear when I watch and listen to you. Thank you for being the calm in the storms of life. ❤ x
You captured exactly how I feel too about Kate. X
I read in a really old quilting book, that when you don't know what color setting or sashing to use -- use pink. I've followed that advice several times and I've been very pleased.😊 I need to add lime green to that quote.
@@melodied4314that’s very interesting, thanks ❤️😁🌹
@@WeediflowerCreations. Me too. Kate’s videos are not only informative but so pleasing and relaxing to watch.
Hi Kate, your channel is a new discovery for me and I absolutely love it. Your presentation and the music you choose is just perfect, I find this channel a little oasis in a chaotic and sometimes frightening world. Thank you for bringing us all a craft that is so inspiring.
The quality of this video is outstanding. Music not too jarring or loud. Not continuous. Kudos to your DIL. Kate you are always brilliant ❤
Hi Kate I absolutely LLUVyour Bear Claw Quilt.i too luv colour and this Quilt definetly has that! I'd use it as a comfy lap Quilt keep me happy.take care dear Kate.thank you.Pauline.x
Hi Kate! About 4 years ago as a newbie to RUclips, I was searching "quilting" and discovered your channel. I was immediately and completely hooked! I binge watched for days. I absolutely love watching you and your quilting projects💕 This quilt is beautiful and the backing is just perfect! I fondly remember sweet Norma (and your other kitties) and was so happy to see Cat Rita lovingly at home on the new quilt🥰 Thank you for your love of color and quilting and for sharing with us!
My experience with Kate is much the same as yours. Her channel has just exploded since then. I miss Norma and the way she came running when Kate said “Hello RUclips friends”. So cute. I loved seeing the hens and Eileen back then. Kate’s channel is still my favorite and every post is a delight.
You are absolutely righ❤t@@vickyh7881
I was looking for 'hexies' 2 1/2 years ago when I found Kate's channel. She was working on Agnes's quilt, and I thought, Oh, how striking! with them sewn in individually, instead of the typical flower motif. I'm doing mine in diamonds, but the outer edge may be a mix.
Love the assortment of her activities l, and her interactions with her family, friends, and course, her kitties.
Bear paws🐾 Yes. but I also see a beautiful flower meadow! 🌼🌸🏵🍀
Oh Kate i dont think you realize just how much your calm demeanor and beautiful creations are needed in this crazy world today! You are truly more healing to so many than you'll ever know!! ❤
Absolutely well said.
Don’t forget we are all on the “lime green sofa”. I love being on the sofa with friends from all over the world 💙💜💚💚💚
@@karenkaren9526 yes please😅 more more
Me too. Love from Minnesota, USA
I thought the chain piecing cutter was so nifty that I showed my husband a picture off Amazon. He said, ‘I can make that!’ With his 3D printer and laser cutter, he made one in a day. I use it all the time. Thanks Kate.
I so agree with Mrsstick. I discovered you 2 years ago when both my husband and I had Covid, fairly seriously, and spent about a month getting over it. We even had to isolate from each other within our house for about 10 days. So, in the guest room I discovered your channel and watched you every night before going to sleep. What treat. I have become very attached to your program and you. Thank you for all you give all of your viewers. You are a special person Kate and so creative.
Thank you for having us...it's yet another beautiful quilt...and as always gives not just me but other yet more inspiration.Also lovely to see Rita cat...just like Walter my gorgeous cat,loves testing out a quilt in the making.Take care...love to you all on the lime green sofa.x
Thank you so much!
The green matches your lime green couch. I believe your cat has decided it's his blanket. Beautiful work.
Who else would make bear claws out of hot pink and lime green! So cheerful and fun. I hope one day the grandkids will be tucking their own children in with some of the lovely quilts you've made. I have a knitted afghan my Aunt made as a small child. Dolly sized, it's well over 100 years old and I hope to pass it down too. These things are treasures.
Kate, I just knew you would choose green.💚 It is beautiful. You may be glad of this in the winter when it's very cold and us pensioners can't afford to heat our homes.🥶 We shall all be wrapped up in beautiful quilts. 💚🏴🇬🇧
Just beautiful, Kate. The green really compliments the bear paws. Enjoyed watching this quilt evolve.
I love "fiddlely" projects.
Your choice of colors is cheerful and interesting.
Quilt on, dear Kate!
That’s a beautiful quilt! I love the green, it’s fresh and shows off the blocks. It’s truly a pleasure to be invited into your world.
I admire how you take on a new challenge! Each new project has its own challenges, don't they? When designing the back, you realized that the more enormous bear claws would require some maths. You plunged ahead and got it done. How rewarding that must feel; good on you, Kate! The finished quilt is wonderfully colorful!
thank you! x x x
Brave lady for choosing that green! Brilliant choice we can see now. I need to be bolder in my color choices.
This quilt has a feel of an Hawaiian quikt.
Kate this is precious!! A nice cozy lap quilt!!👏👏👏🥰
Dear Kate Thank you so so much. For you insparation, your calmness, the background music,the joy of the colorpallet. Thank you for everyting you give us ❤
I love everything you do. The universe is a better place because of you and the talent and love you send out to all of us❤
Kate once again absolutely BEAUTIFUL. So Amazingly Talented 👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤
I've so enjoyed watching you make this quilt Kate, I love your relaxed aproach to everything, its just how quilting is meant to be.
My mum would have LOVED your channel! We made lots of quilts together. She is gone almost 20 years now.....
God bless your mum ❤❤❤
So beautiful Kate! Your quilts are always so whimsical and bright!❤
We're so spoiled...a 'home' and 'garden' video nearly back to back! Speaking of back - the back of this quilt is absolutely glorious! [so is the front, but the back is a bit unexpected].
I just read the article about you, and loved it! I had no idea that you had a change in your status years ago. However, what a success story you have as you used your mind, skills & talents to rise to the top of your businesses. I see how things evolved with a nod from Arne & Carlos. The Pandemic made us turn to RUclips to see how people around the world were coping. Brava, Kate! You are amazing!
Love the bear paw quilt Kate and it looks loose Cat Rita does too❤
I always enjoy spending time with you. Thank you for spending time with me my RUclips Friend🤗♥️
I really thought you were wrong in picking that apple green but I was WRONG! The green is perfect!
I thought the exact same thing, like, “no, Kate, pick something like grey”, but the green is GREAT and looks amazing! I should have trusted Kates choice!
Same, I was glad she picked green instead of pink.
I would never in a million years have picked that green, but I love it! You are teaching me to think out of the box!
I didn't think the green would work either, it looks so good. What I really like about your channel, it is real, and you don't talk rubbish. The music is very inspiring too. ❤
Thankyou from nz because of you I went to a patchwork course with a friend ,met lovely like minded people in my area.
So enjoying sewing again xx
I like the Bear Paw Quilt with the green sashing. Somehow it seems right for a Bear. After all these unique animals live in the forest.
Love it! I am 65 and have been a sewer for most of my life. I started making Barbie doll cloths when I was about 9 or 10, at home with my mom, she says she was so surprised I could sew Barbie clothes, lol. Have sewn my own cloths since my teens, made my wedding dress and a couple of my brides maids dresses. Then I starting sewing for people and making a bit of money. Then had kids and sewed more, lol. Then grand kids! I have slowed down a bit now but after watching Kate I am thinking that if I start now maybe I could make a quilt for each of our 3 kids to have when I am gone. Or each of the 3 grands. Anyways, thank you for the inspiration. Keeping my finger crossed, lol.
That is way too precious to have the kids use it on picnics.
Teach them to appreciate and treasure your hand work, so they won’t regret later in life.
Beautiful quilt ❤️🥰
It is so funny to hear a quilter who does quite a lot of little hex paper piecing say that a few hst's are fiddly! Just proves once again that everything is so personal. I'm so glad we're all unique!!! I didn't think that I would like to green sashing, but I DO! MAKES A GREAT picnic quilt!
Thank you for showing us this.
Your videos are like a cup of tea, in a fine, bone china cup, sitting in the shade, on a summer day :)
Lovely quilt and video. Of note , when I join wadding pieces together I butt them up to each other and then run a large machine zigzag stitch along the joins. Works well
JOYFUL to observe…..color and bling …I love the reality of the first showing a bit crackly looking…..I so appreciate the waste not want mentality……either the sofa or picnic……I say both!
Your idea for the back of the quilt is awesome! The colors are singing straight to my soul!
♥️👍🤩
This quilt is so lovely. Love the idea for the four big patches on the back. You are a wonderful creator with more patience than I could ever have. Thanks for sharing your handiwork with us!
Kate, I watch your videos every day. I really enjoy you and look forward to your videos. You are delightful. It's funny because I use my boyfriend's computer and he's always fussing about your videos popping up all the time. LOL
I love the smaller version of the bear claw. It’s more relaxing to look at.
Oh, I think the green will be wonderful!
I'm loving sitting on the lime green couch with your apple green bear paws quilt!
Why do I feel a sense of accomplishment by watching you make a quilt?
Good Morning, thrilled to see you doing so well !
Hello I just wanted to say I’m so glad your channel came up on my RUclips recommended. I’ve started binge watching in the afternoons now ❤️ my husband sadly passed away a year ago and watching you have re lit my love again of quilting, so much so that I'm going to make a start on making my husbands t shirts into a memory quilt x
that is a wonderful idea! thank you! take care xxx
Oh 😂😂 I can see the error!!! I love it! It makes the quilt design more clever! ❤
It took a second time watching this episode before I spotted the ‘error’. It actually looks intentional, and I doubt most people would think it wasn’t🤗
What is it? I’ve watched twice and I can’t figure it out 😮
@@marydonald-abair2889🥰 stop the video at 22.27. The odd block is in the right bottom corner. There are four squares, created where the toes of the paws are inverted.
@@lov3lou it was making me nuts, thank you!
@@marydonald-abair2889 it took me a while to see it! Glad to relieve the pressure 🥳
A neat and quick way to use up your scraps of biggish pieces of batting and make a frankenbatting is to lay them overlapping by about two inches and then with your rotary cutter cut a slightly wavy line along the two inch overlap. Then you remove carefully without disturbing too much the very edges that are now cut off, and just by magic, the two wadding pieces interlock slightly and have absolutely no gaps or overlaps. You then stitch the two pieces together, either by hand or with a wide zigzag stitch on your machine, hope it makes sense ❤
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦 love this quilt
I know there are quiet a lot of us from South Africa that love to watch Kate and all her amazing, beautiful quilt projects and ideas❤
Another lovely quilt video, I watched as I am embroidering a baby blanket for a brand new great nephew. Wish I could get back to my quilts but another day. Liked this one, but my favorite one is the shadow quilt from last video. Also greatly enjoy the garden videos. 😊
I'm sitting here in my sewing room sewing while I listen and peek in at your progress on the bear claw quilt. It's almost like we're having a little sewing bee together. I can't do anything that fancy, but I am making a stack of quilts for some kids here in Mexico who live in a mission. I could buy warm blankets more cheaply, but they've had a rough time of it and don't really own anything. So I figured some colorful quilts might brighten their nights a little bit. Besides, houses here aren't insulated or heated. When it's 47° F/ 9 C outside that's the same temperature it is inside, give or take a degree or two. So you can't have too many blankets in winter. Thanks for letting me hang out on the lime green couch while I work.
That's a lovely project. Good luck! x x x
Now I know ehat I am going to do with some Kaffe and other scraps I have. My daughter's bedroom is sour apple green, so I may do a different background. I miss all your other cat girls, especially Norma from the very beginning. I'm sure they are all with Cat Rita in spirit, urging her to lie on the fabric. ❤
The longer I watch you the more I like your green fabrics.
Hello from Sherwood Ohio-USA, I am a multi crafter- crochet, knit, needle tatting, beading, embroidery, sewing of all sorts watercolor and card making. I have recently decided to give English Paper Piecing a try. Your RUclips Channel came up and I was hooked with the first Video. Your home and the surrounding area is quite beautiful, you are a fantastic story teller and your videos well produced..I am inspired with each video that I watch and always look forward to the next. Keep up the good works.
So many comments! Cause everyone loves what you do. Maybe you don't need another, but oh well. I love your summer quilt! The colors make my heart happy! What a joy to work with the fabrics, the patterns, the colors, the geometry of quilts! Starting to feel cooler outside here in Utah. Your quilt is like looking out at my backyard at the green grass still holding onto summer days. The grass will fade but your quilt will stay bright. Just wonderful. It's nice to "visit" your place. i learned to love hexies from you. Thanks!
Thank you! I love seeing all comments and connecting with each of you! x x x
Hi Kate, always enjoy visiting with you. A Bear Paw block is one I have always wanted to make. I also sew my batting together . but I use a little zig zag stitch. Hate to waste anything.
Take care, be well.........Hugs........Barb
I love! Putting a large block on the back of the quilt. What genius!
Hello Kate and a very Happy 7th Birthday to your channel. I have not been on the lime green sofa for long, but I am binging your videos and loving them. I did not notice your different block until you made comment about mistake. It only makes it more unique, My favorite colour is green also. Thank you Kate .
Yaaayyyyyy, you're in my box❤❤❤ What a lovely quilt and a delightful video, Dear Kate ❤
Yay, thank you!
It is lovely. I can see it cozy on your lime green sofa. Never did find the block that was stitched incorrectly. It is all good.
Now all of us will make Bear Paws quilts.
Haha! Just what I was thinking 😂
I made a block for Chris English's quilt, and I was thrilled to see it.
It'll be a Sleuth of Bears! x x x
@@BarbaraSanders-vn6lfFOR SURE... I'm already thinking about which fabrics or if this is a good enough reason to go and buy some!!! 😁🤓🥳
@@venitabucceri8435 go and buy some more fabric!
It's so pretty!! I like to watch you before bed. Your sweet voice e and confident manner is so calming. Can't wait to see what's next!!❤
Kate, I love your sense of color! This is another gorgeous quilt, and you make it all look so easy. Joyful bear claw quilt!
Another way to join scraps of batting is to put the edges together and zigzag them together on your machine. Just widen the stitch to make it easier to catch both pieces in the seam. 😊 Love the fabrics and the big patch for the back!
It's called a blade saver. You can get them on wish or temu for a fraction of the cost of what they are on Amazon.
Be careful buying from Temu- China-based, and you end up getting what you pay (or don’t pay) for!
@@rubyhaze1 you are correct with some items. But I bought 4 of the blade savers from temu and the quality is just fine.
Thank you for inspiring me. I've started hand quilting on my dining table. I find it so much easier than a hoop or trying to quilt on my domestic machine ❤
The quilt turns out so beautiful, the colours are so bright and shining. Congratulations.
I enjoyed this vid because it showed us you thinking it through, like we all do. Lot of patchworkers show us 'the edited' version. It was good to se u not quite sure,, normal shall we say. Love all ur vids of course but this one was special, thanks.
I really like this quilt. Beautiful fabrics. Whimsical.
I love this pattern. The very first hand pieced quilt I made was the using the bear paw pattern. Your quilt is absolutely delightful.
Gorgeous!
I wasn't sure about that green at first, but it turned out beautifully! Loving the Kaffe Fassett on the back (their prints are soooooo pretty!!). That cutting wheel is very cool! I keep my bunting somewhat intact while ironing (I cut it into more manageable sections and iron those in one go, peeling them apart as I run the iron over them, then snip the pieces apart after they're nice and flat).
Also, that design board is amazing! Y need to Google it and see what sizes the panels come in!!
I love your quilts you have made and i would like to make you a special cushion for your cabin
That's very kind of you, but I would actually really love it if you made a lovely quilt for yourself, a friend or family memeber! x x x
LOVE the idea of making a large 'impression' of the front of the quilt on the back! That apple green is a fun colour, isn't it? I bet it will look lovely outside as a picnic blanket too! I also love your sizing method - "It measures....this big" 🤣 Isn't smooshing the best? There's something almost 'spiritual' about connecting with every part of the quilt you've lovingly put together. ❤ Loved seeing so much Cat-Rita in this video - and her stretched out on your quilt was just gorgeous…. Thank you as always Kate - a treat for us! x
Love the colours in your bears paw
Love that sour apple colour choice 😊.
Kate. Watching from St. Louis, Missouri in the states. I found your channel a few months ago and can’t tell you how much I enjoy your channel. You are always an up beat woman and in this day and time we need that. Continued success with your channel I also watch your garden channel also. You seem to soothe the troubles we all seem to have.
Beautiful quilt! You are so inspiring!
I love love LOVE seeing your RUclips award in the background of this video! Keep up the great work. You are a balm on my nerves.
Always enjoy watching you quilt, Kate, and happy to see that you don't seem to mind the odd point being nipped off in the stitching. Have been a quilter since the early 80s (a beginner to some) but it always caused me considerable soul searching and heaven only knows how may seam pickers unseaming the pinched points. No matter the quality of fabric, it will always have its own agenda when it's stitched together what with stretching, pressing, cutting. If it's for exhibition I can understand this but if it's a utility quilt - then keeping someone warm is the key. Thank you again. This quilt is looking beautiful. Lovely seeing John and Cat Rita 🙂
Cooled off enough to quilt again! I turned my ice crystal hexi quilt into a smaller table topper, It is a star and pretty draped over a floor length tablecloth. I am more serious about my next project and decided on a twisted hexi quilt.I am quite enchanted with English paper piecing. Slooowww
I was just thinking the same as Mrsstick07! It is so nice to come to a place where you know you are very welcome, and the company is wonderful and so kind. The music just finishes the whole mood. This quilt is another of your beautiful works of art Kate! I love that it is a two-sided design!
Beautiful Bear Paws quilt Kate!
And catRita was so cute Rolling on the quilt in the sunshine, showing off her lovely tummy!!! 😊😊😊
Lovely quilt. I'll be sewing one of those soon. And I will "hand quilt" it. It will be my first hand quilt.
Dear Kate, your bear paw blocks are stunning color combos! I love them! Funnily, I’m making a shoo-fly blocks of abt 7.5 inch size too and am now fiddling on design to decide on size finish, so your project is quite timely for me, haha! Love you, kiddo!
Thank you for sharing your bear paw journey quilt, it’s beautiful and I love the green matches so well.
I have used basting spray very good but I found the quilters tape so easy to match all the left overs. 😊
So beautiful and vibrant.....loved it when cat Rita moved away on cue so we could get the full quilt in view 🐱
Such a pretty quilt finish Kate!! I love it. Thanks for sharing.
It’s lovely! Thanks for sharing your thought process as well! ❤
Kate, your quilt brings me so much joy to see! Thanks for sharing it with us. May I suggest you try the frankenbatting method of joining leftover pieces of batting? It’s named after Frankenstein’s big stitches that he is sewn together with. It’s very simple and fast and eliminates any bunching. It easily quilts whether by hand or machine.
The pool noodle basting method has also made basting so much easier for me. It keeps all the pieces smooth as you baste. There are lots of videos on both methods.
This would look splendid on the back of the lime green sofa (using one's imagination of course). Beautiful.
Lovely green fabric, another beautiful quilt! I haven’t tried a bear paw yet.😊
Old fashioned hair lacquer makes an excellent temporary basting spray!! Also it’s much much cheaper than 505. I rarely pin baste now - pool noodles and hair spray. Works for me 😊
Your green sashing is delightful!
I would never have thought of using that green, but it brings a spring flair to your quilt! I love it! I’ve been binge watching your videos since I found out about you. Thank you for all the time and energy you take to share your knowledge with us
Thanks again, Kate! You give me peace and motivate me so much in back to patchwork again that I like so much! Thanks for being there!
I'm loving your Bear Paw pink and green project! My 4yr old granddaughter chose pink and green for a quilted pinwheel pillow. She cut and sewed(with a bit of my assistance). I am in the process of finishing it.
It's looking like another scorcher here in East Texas, today. But I've just finished the last of my coffee with you, M'am. What a sweet, quiet time I enjoyed! Thank you! ...and now, I want to make a bear paw quilt!
