Aww Kate I had a tear in my eye about your mums quilt she made by hand a labour of love its truly is beautiful so special thanks for sharing it 😢it made me cry you are so talented and your whole family are you are beautiful person sharing all your makes giving sharing all your experience and tips with us all.❤I love watching and listening to you .
I'm weeping happy tears that you will sleep under the beautiful Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt. My mother, a prolific quilter, quilted for 8-10 hours every day until she broke her hip. Four months later she joined Poppa in heaven. She was adamant that she didn't prick her finger thousands of time for her masterpieces to be hung on walls or stored away "safe". They were made to be used and LOVED. The kindest thanks was that her quilts were worn out by comforting those she loved. I feel Mom smiling down on me for sharing this personal message with you and hope you will use the quilt your mom made and wear it out, feeling her love for you every time you see and use it. (If you don't want to go that far, how about keeping it on your bed so you enjoy it every day and folding it down to your feet to minimize wear?) Thanks to Arne and Carlos for telling about you on a recent Sit and Knit a Bit.
I couldn't help but cry! Your Mom was lovely and I'm so happy you decided to sleep underneath it for your birthday. My Mom unexpectedly passed away on the 28th of August, 2018 at 80 years young. On 22nd of June she sent me a throw that she purchased that has a saying that expresses her love for me. I hung it up because it means so much. She was my best friend! Here is goes: "Daughter - A Daughter brings sunshine to brighten your days. A Daughter brings joy through her loving ways. A Daughter is a blessing that comes from above. A special and beautiful treasure to love". Along with this was a magazine that included the pattern of a granny sofa throw she wanted me to crochet for her. Who knew! It has so many colors and we were narrowing it down to her favorites. Maybe she knew she was not well, I don't know so I took this last request and began Jan 2019 and finished it in April. It has 90 octagons and 19 colors. I have it on a chair where I see it every day. Mom would have loved it, I know! There are tears and kisses intertwined throughout!
Lovely chat. I have a quilt made for my mom when she graduated 8th grade. I fell in love with it the very first time I saw it at my grandmother's home. Happy Birthday, Kate. Have a special day. And sweet dreams under your mum's quilt.
Kate..I love your grandmothers flower garden quilt that your Mom made for you. So much love in every stitch! My very good friend started one when her daughter was 9 years old. She finished it in time for her wedding day. It’s a beautiful quilt! Very special and I’m so happy you decided to use it for your birthday! 💕
NO WONDER! Happy Birthday, Kate! We are both born under the sign of Aquarius, so that explains a lot why your site drew me into it. Plus, we share the love of quilting. What a treat today to see your lovely quilts and how very special to have the quilt from your mum. Of course I have Kaffe Fassett fabrics in my stash! Thank you for a delightful Sunday post.
Hello Kate, got a little teary about your mums beautiful quilt. I have a couple my mum made for me. Recently I got them out to measure, I hugged each one tightly before putting it back. I want to say my mum made a few of the lovely grandmother's flower garden quilt. Thank you for sharing.
Happy Birthday Kate. How meaningful to have your Mums quilt especially dedicated to you. It’s so beautiful, something to treasure always. I love your chats, even though I live on the other side of the world I feel we are old friends, you have become so special to me through the power of social media. Have a wonderful day.
Oh my! The hexagon quilt was what my Grandmother Hazel made when she was engaged. She gave it to me and I cherish it! I am going to hang it on a wall. The background colour is turquoise. Very labor intensive. I am approaching 70. Thank you for sharing and bringing back fond memories!
Your mothers quilt is spectacular! And that picture of her working on the quilt is so sweet! I wish I had a keepsake like that from my mom! But I’m working on quilts for each of my 4 kids! I have one done, it was a sampler quilt for my oldest daughter. Now I’m working on a double Irish chain in muted patriotic colors. It’s almost done. Next is the Radiant star for our youngest daughter and a flying goose for our youngest son. I hope I get them all done! I’m almost 72 years old!
What a beautiful quilt! My late mother made my daughters one each and they still use them xx we should treasure what gifts we receive from our parents no matter how small xxx
This quilt is not only beautiful but the story behind it makes it a heirloom. I bet every time you look at it or touch it you can feel your mother’s love .
Lovely quilt your mom made and so many lives touched by her generosity and caring nature, which I think you also have. I think moms in general are too often taken for granted until they are gone. Happy birthday, Kate, you share it with my oldest granddaughter, Erin, who will be 19 tomorrow. Lovely geese blocks and I look forward to seeing the finished quilt.
Happy Birthday! I will turn 65 in February and I cannot tell you where 65 years went, but I am very happy to be here. I hope you did something spectacular!!
What a lovey way to honor your mom on your birthday. Not many people remember the sacrifice their mother made for them in their birthday ❤️ happy birthday
It’s a year later that I am watching this. I was stitching on my hexagons as I watched. The quilt your mom made for you is so lovely. I was given blocks made by a great aunt using original 30’s fabrics. Grandmothers Flower garden. From Norway. I treasure it.
Oh what a lovely chat. Sharing your mom and her gorgeous quilts was very special for me. It filled me with peace. Thank you Kate. And May you have a wonderful birthday. Happy happy Birthday.
Oh Kate I love the quilt your mother made you. It is so lovely and very special indeed. So a very happy birthday to you. Mine is the first week of February. I'll be 65. Can't believe it. Have a blessed day.
Kate, I am all tears after seeing the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt your mother made for you. That was a quilt of love. I understand you don't want to use it but maybe you can put it on the bed for special occasions or when your missing your mom and she would be right there with you. Much love to you. ❤
Kate: Happy Birthday! We share January 27th as our birthday! I will be 67 so I have a few years on you. Love seeing your Mum’s hexagon quilt. You are so lucky to have such a lovely memory of her. Sleep well tonight and every night............
Happy Birthday dear Kate! I hope you had precious dreams under the quilt your mother made. My mother wasn't a crafty person. She liked to cook, arrange flowers, read, and sip sherry. I miss her still after 28 years. I can see her playing solitaire, her nails in their Fire & Ice polish, tapping on the table.
Birthday Greeting for tomorrow Kate x Your quilt lovingly hand stitched by your mum Is precious but so are you - as your Mum hand stitched on the quilt. Hope you have sweet dreams of your darling Mum and thanks for sharing your gorgeous quilt. X
Oh Kate. One of my first hand made quilts was a grandmother’s flower garden, similar to the one your mum made for you. I wish I could show it to you. Only thing done on it by machine was sewing bias to edge but stitched down by hand. My quilt occasionally gets put on the bed but only for special occasions. I understand your reluctance to use your mum’s gift to you, but she made it for a reason. A beautiful gift for her beautiful daughter. Life is so short, truly a labor of love 💕
I hope you have a very wonderful birthday tomorrow! The quilt is beautiful! I have one in pink's that my grandmother made for me when I was 19 years old. I am 58 now and I still treasure it as much as the day she gave it to me.
Kate, you should have prefaced today’s message with “grab a box of Kleenex...”. Your messages are always so precious, sincere, heartfelt....as I can see from reading everyone’s comments I’m not the only one brought to tears by “saving it for good”! My Mother passed seven years ago and oh my goodness the treasures she saved in their original bags and boxes are many. I can hear her say “ put them away it is too good to use”. I’m using them little by little on special occasions because when I’m gone no one will be here to remember her saying to “save them for good”. Your Mom will be so pleased you are sleeping like a baby under her precious quilt for your birthday. Maybe you gift her and yourself by using it one week a month on your bed! Happy Birthday Dear Friend. You bring us all so much treasured knowledge, you are truly a gift.
Just altogether heartwarming. Your dear Mom, what a lovely gift and a beautiful sentiment stitched on it. Very best wishes for a Happy Birthday, wonderful Kate.
Your mum's quilt is absolutely gorgeous and so very precious and sleeping underneath it on the eve of your birthday is a perfect way to honour the caring woman who gave you life. Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful, meaningful, and heartfelt sentiments. Wishing you a wonderful and cozy birthday.
We have grown to love YOU and your FAMILY. Inspirational right down to the ill just take 10 minutes....... To the straightened quilt safety pins. Its ALL about love.
What a wonderful quilt. I just knew it would be as you’ve shared her sewing before. No wonder you treasure it so much. The lovely label on it, and her real appreciation of you. Sooo beautiful! Always a meaningful video from you. I do so appreciate you and your time-generous videos. Thank you Kate!
Your mom's quilt is beautiful....there are some things we just can't seem to use but need to enjoy. My mom did beautiful embroidery and made many sets of 7-day dish towel sets. She gave many away as gifts and I have mine put away...I could never use them! One of my cousins took her set, made them into a sweet little quilt and sent it to me after my mom died. I love it and do use that and enjoy it. Your quilts are all so unique! Peter Walsh, who had the show Clean Sweep, said once that we need to "honor" the things we love by using them, not putting them away in a dark drawer, etc. So I try to use my grandmother's tea cup at times, etc. If they break being loved and used, it's better than having them break in a box somewhere. Happy Birthday, dear Kate!!!
Thanks for sharing your Mum's Flower Garden quilt! That pattern is special to me because it was the first pattern my Grandmother taught me to do by hand. It was very appropriate, since she loved her gardens!🤗 Yours is very beautiful!
I have to be honest with you that the end of your video just made me cry. I suddenly and remarkably missed my mom. I hope you snuggled peacefully under her quilt. Happy Birthday, Kate! 😎
Meet too. My mother was never able to finish our quilt. But I miss her more, so much. My Mom taught me to sew when I was young, and to do it neatly. Pillowcases, aprons, simple dresses. Then, we discovered quilting. I was 16 when she started with a quilt for my oldest cousin's wedding. I still quilt, 50 years later. Flying geese is on my list of quilts to make. I've done some with more detail in the blocks, and have rearranged some blocks of other common patterns to design other blocks. But, not Flying Geese, yet. It will be coming up soon. though. For now, I am finding EPP to be quite relaxing, and portable. I haven't had much urge to get out my sewing machine yet, after dealing with asthma complicated by some respiratory virus. So, EPP has occupied me as I get back to my normal self.
Happy birthday Kate! Beautiful quilt and amorphous blob made with hexagons. Grief is a long and pervasive process. I am sure that the preciousness of the quilt is not the only reason it is securely stored rather than displayed. Take it easy on yourself.
Beautiful quilt made by your mother. I love the way she inserted the 4 piece diamonds in between the flowers. I just happened to start piecing shapes like that in 2 colors each, along with larger diamonds with contrast centers. I hope you had sweet dreams of your mom under this beautiful quilt, on your birthday morning.💕
The quilt your Mother made for you is breathtaking! Thank you for all that you share. I've only just found your channel and I'm so glad I have as you are now a slice of peace and joy in my life as i settle in on the lime green sofa each day to learn and enjoy, Thanks again 😊
What a lovely photo of your mom and the quilt she made you is beautiful. I’m sorry for your loss. I loss my mom 13 Feb last year and still have a hard time. She was 90. I know how hard it is. I got tears in my eyes you talking about your mom. Happy Birthday Kate🦋
Beautiful quilts. Happy birthday Kate. May God bless you with many more years of happiness, good, health, and creativity. You brought tears to my eyes when you said you may sleep under your mom's quilt and think of her on your birthday. I am sure she was as lovely as you are. I have just found your channel and have been in heaven watching all of your videos. Looking forward to visiting with you again soon. Take care and hugs to Norma and the other kitties.......Crystal.
Beautiful! And I'm tearing up remembering all the talented, wonderful Mum's who have passed on their knowledge to daughters such as you, and I. Thanks for sharing!❤️
Wonderful Sunday chat! I loved seeing your different projects and the quilt your Mum did for you - how very precious! I hope to see a tutorial on the Louis the 16th block! How fun to see Norma too! The picture of your Mum brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us! Happy Birthday Kate!🥰🎂
The quilt you are working on is lovely. Great, happy colors !!!! Your mom’s quilt is beautiful ! Grandmother’s flower garden was the first quilt pattern I ever made. Use your mother’s quilt and wrap yourself in her love. Happy birthday 🎈lovely Kate. Have a fantastic day tomorrow.
Lovely video and the quilt is a precious thing. We all do that, don't we, tuck our precious things away instead of using them. It's important to take them out and enjoy them, though perhaps not every day. And Happy Birthday Kate! I hope you have a grand day.
Oh my how beautiful. Your parting words were just too precious. I brought tears to my eyes remembering my mom. She would save gifts given to her but why. They were meant to be used. You certainly have your mum’s talents. That was so special of you to share. The colors she choose where brilliant. So lucky to have those such fond memories. I wish you a happy birthday 🎁🎉🎂💐.
Happy birthday, tomorrow, Kate. You share a birthday with my mom. She will be 86 tomorrow. While she did not sew, her mom did, and I have a quilt from her that is also precious to me.
Happiest of birthdays, dear Kate. I am so grateful that you so willingly share your life, thoughts and feelings with us. Thank you for being in my life!❤
The quilt that your Mom made for you is stunning. It is so delicate with the scalloped edges and the colors are beautiful. I can see why you want to take special care of it. Someday it may belong to Agnes. Thanks for the video Kate.
The happiest of birthdays wished for you Kate!! 🥳🌹✨🎈🎉🎊🎈Sleeping with your mum’s quilt on your birthday, Perfect! ... You are absolutely splendid, dear Kate. Happy*Birthday! 🎀🎊🎈🎉💖🥳 So lovely seeing your precious Mother, quilting at the end. 💕
I love listening to you - because you are YOU. Its so nice to hear about your positive view on life and to watch your projects and see the colors and the patterns. Thank you. I am a danish enjoyer and quilter, knitter, embroiderer and more
My mother made afghans, each one of my children got one she made for them. I still see some of them in their homes. When she died, there were several she had kept, so I offered them to anyone in the family who wanted one. They took all but two, I have those and the last one she made while struggling with Alzheimer's. Use the quilt, it is precious because she made it for you.
The quilt your mother made is beautiful. And I ❤️love the label she made. What a great idea. I think it would be wonderful to put that quilt on you bed on occasions like Mother’s Day, your birthday and your mothers birthday etc. Thank you for sharing.
Kate, how lovely for you to share your Mom's quilt with us. I am so glad you will be using it tonight. I hope you have the happiest Birthday, filled with joy and good memories. Someday Agnes may be showing the things you have made for her in her podcasts (or whatever they will be calling it by then) :o) Margaret O'Brien
As like the others the quilt your mum made and the rouching memory made me cry as well. I think I will get started on a hexi quilt for my daughter. You have motivated me beyon d words Kate. You are a true blessing! Much love. Linda

I'm weeping happy tears that you will sleep under the beautiful Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt. My mother, a prolific quilter, quilted for 8-10 hours every day until she broke her hip. Four months later she joined Poppa in heaven. She was adamant that she didn't prick her finger thousands of time for her masterpieces to be hung on walls or stored away "safe". They were made to be used and LOVED. The kindest thanks was that her quilts were worn out by comforting those she loved. I feel Mom smiling down on me for sharing this personal message with you and hope you will use the quilt your mom made and wear it out, feeling her love for you every time you see and use it.

Your Mum's lovely, spectacular quilt with her label, charm and what she wrote is so very special.....
Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilt your Mum made for you, such a treasure.
I know this is late but I just needed to say thank you so much for the heartfelt love. God bless you.🇨🇦
I hope my English comes across well. I wish you tomorrow a nice birthday and good health
I couldn't help but cry! Your Mom was lovely and I'm so happy you decided to sleep underneath it for your birthday. My Mom unexpectedly passed away on the 28th of August, 2018 at 80 years young. On 22nd of June she sent me a throw that she purchased that has a saying that expresses her love for me. I hung it up because it means so much. She was my best friend!

Lovely chat.
I have a quilt made for my mom when she graduated 8th grade. I fell in love with it the very first time I saw it at my grandmother's home.
Happy Birthday, Kate. Have a special day. And sweet dreams under your mum's quilt.
Thank you for showing is the beautiful quilt your mom made for you! What a talented woman she was! This video touched my heart so deeply!❤
That was very touching. Your mother made some really beautiful quilts. As does her daughter. I love your work.😊

How beautiful, your quilt, your precious memories, and your stories. Just wonderful!
What a precious sentiment Kate. What a lovely gift to sleep under your Mother’s beautiful quilt on your birthday! Happy Birthday!
What a beautiful quilt and a great memory you could pass down to your granddaughter.
Oh my! The hexagon quilt was what my Grandmother Hazel made when she was engaged. She gave it to me and I cherish it! I am going to hang it on a wall. The background colour is turquoise. Very labor intensive. I am approaching 70. Thank you for sharing and bringing back fond memories!
Memories of our moms are so precious.
Your mothers quilt is spectacular! And that picture of her working on the quilt is so sweet! I wish I had a keepsake like that from my mom! But I’m working on quilts for each of my 4 kids!

This quilt is not only beautiful but the story behind it makes it a heirloom. I bet every time you look at it or touch it you can feel your mother’s love .
So nice to get these glimpses of your mum. Both of your quilts are beautifully worked. Thank you for the inspiration.
How lovely to have such a precious gift from your mom...beautiful!
Lovely quilt your mom made and so many lives touched by her generosity and caring nature, which I think you also have. I think moms in general are too often taken for granted until they are gone. Happy birthday, Kate, you share it with my oldest granddaughter, Erin, who will be 19 tomorrow. Lovely geese blocks and I look forward to seeing the finished quilt.
Your mums quilt is beautiful
Happy Birthday! I will turn 65 in February and I cannot tell you where 65 years went, but I am very happy to be here. I hope you did something spectacular!!

So very pretty the quilt and your mom!
Such a lovely memory of your mom and the quilt.

hard time. She was 90. I know how hard it is. I got tears in my eyes you
talking about your mom. Happy Birthday Kate🦋
I do believe those lozenge shapes in your mom’s quilt are in fact leaves! Green leaves to match the flower garden. What a lovely gift she gave you!
Beautiful Grandmother's Garden Quilt. Has to be a labor of LOVE. Sewing is my passion also.
Beautiful quilts. Happy birthday Kate. May God bless you with many more years of happiness, good, health, and creativity. You brought tears to my eyes when you said you may sleep under your mom's quilt and think of her on your birthday. I am sure she was as lovely as you are. I have just found your channel and have been in heaven watching all of your videos. Looking forward to visiting with you again soon. Take care and hugs to Norma and the other kitties.......Crystal.
I love the video with your sweet Mom stitching by the window! Her quilt is precious! and, glad you slept under it. Happy Birthday.
Beautiful! And I'm tearing up remembering all the talented, wonderful Mum's who have passed on their knowledge to daughters such as you, and I. Thanks for sharing!❤️
Oh me too!
Happy birthday! I’ve decided the precious things are the things to use, they won’t be more precious to anyone else. Love them and use them.
That's what I've told our family when I give them quilts. I ask them to please, Use them!
Wonderful Sunday chat! I loved seeing your different projects and the quilt your Mum did for you - how very precious! I hope to see a tutorial on the Louis the 16th block! How fun to see Norma too! The picture of your Mum brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us! Happy Birthday Kate!🥰🎂
That is so beautiful. I have a grandmother's garden my grandmother made for me. Precious memories.
The quilt you are working on is lovely. Great, happy colors !!!! Your mom’s quilt is beautiful ! Grandmother’s flower garden was the first quilt pattern I ever made. Use your mother’s quilt and wrap yourself in
her love. Happy birthday 🎈lovely Kate. Have a fantastic day tomorrow.
Lovely video and the quilt is a precious thing. We all do that, don't we, tuck our precious things away instead of using them. It's important to take them out and enjoy them, though perhaps not every day. And Happy Birthday Kate! I hope you have a grand day.
Oh my how beautiful. Your parting words were just too precious. I brought tears to my eyes remembering my mom. She would save gifts given to her but why. They were meant to be used. You certainly have your mum’s talents. That was so special of you to share. The colors she choose where brilliant. So lucky to have those such fond memories. I wish you a happy birthday 🎁🎉🎂💐.
Happy birthday, tomorrow, Kate. You share a birthday with my mom. She will be 86 tomorrow. While she did not sew, her mom did, and I have a quilt from her that is also precious to me.
What a beautiful quilt, made with your mum’s love for her loving daughter 💖
Happiest of birthdays, dear Kate. I am so grateful that you so willingly share your life, thoughts and feelings with us. Thank you for being in my life!❤
The quilt that your Mom made for you is stunning. It is so delicate with the scalloped edges and the colors are beautiful. I can see why you want to take special care of it. Someday it may belong to Agnes. Thanks for the video Kate.
The happiest of birthdays wished for you Kate!! 🥳🌹✨🎈🎉🎊🎈Sleeping with your mum’s quilt on your birthday, Perfect! ... You are absolutely splendid, dear Kate. Happy*Birthday! 🎀🎊🎈🎉💖🥳
So lovely seeing your precious Mother, quilting at the end. 💕
The grandmother's Garden quilt your mother made by hand is exquisite and absolutely stunning😍
I love listening to you - because you are YOU. Its so nice to hear about your positive view on life and to watch your projects and see the colors and the patterns. Thank you. I am a danish enjoyer and quilter, knitter, embroiderer and more
Thank you so much! xxx
Your mum's quilt is absolutely gorgeous! It is amazing. A work of art!
My mother made afghans, each one of my children got one she made for them. I still see some of them in their homes. When she died, there were several she had kept, so I offered them to anyone in the family who wanted one. They took all but two, I have those and the last one she made while struggling with Alzheimer's. Use the quilt, it is precious because she made it for you.
The quilt your mother made is beautiful. And I ❤️love the label she made. What a great idea. I think it would be wonderful to put that quilt on you bed on occasions like Mother’s Day, your birthday and your mothers birthday etc. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful grandmother's flower garden quilt. I love it!
Happy Birthday tomorrow Kate! What a wonderful treasure you have! Such wonderful memories!
Kate, how lovely for you to share your Mom's quilt with us. I am so glad you will be using it tonight. I hope you have the happiest Birthday, filled with joy and good memories. Someday Agnes may be showing the things you have made for her in her podcasts (or whatever they will be calling it by then) :o) Margaret O'Brien
