Excellent answer. She is a joy.

[@auntbssewingquiltingandcra3442]

Dear Kate, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your videos. I think KZbin creators underestimate their impact on others. I’m going to tell you a little bit of my story. My husband of 41 years died in august of last year. He was my best friend. A year before he died we adopted our four year old grandson, because my daughter has a severe mental illness. When I was young my grandmother taught me how to embroider. She use to tell me the back side of my work was like life it was messy. The finished top side was what we saw when we finally finished our work. The business of working through my grief has been like this for me. You have been a part of helping me work through all the pain. I love your inclusion of everyone. I have watched your videos and been able to laugh and be amazed at someone else’s creations. You have inspired me to move forward and I thank you for that and my little Charlie thanks you too. Blessings and well wishes coming your way from the other side of the lime green sofa. PS I don’t like to wear jewelry either or makeup, but I love to make it for others.

[@chriswashburn9039]

I love the way you find such joy in the smallest things. I’m hoping to learn from you,the beauty in everyday items. You are a joy to watch….the world needs more people like you.

Iv not just liked them, I’ve loved them. You could use actual buttons and quilted bits if it’s not going to be used as a tea towel…..I may be saying that because I’m not a quilter but more of a scrapbooker, card maker, smash book dabbler. Love listening to you and watching you create you wonders. Thanks for sharing your ideas👍🏽🙋🏽‍♀️💛

Kate is like an old frIend & teacher. I binge watch a few hours ev day, mostly at night when ev is tucked in bed & the house is quiet. I find myself reaching to sip tea with Kate as she is very good at inviting us into the conversation. I have so many interests in common but my guess is that many others feel the same. I have learned allot of tips for which I am grateful. Watching her interact with her cats, birds, nature is so refreshing. I find myself laughing in ev video & mostly I feel a sense of familiar & calm. Thank you Kate, you are a natural at this & I look forward to watching more. ❤😍🥰

Such a wonderful afternoon with my friend from across the pond. I think I like you so much because you get it - you are doing things because they make you happy - give you joy. I hate it when someone asks me, “what are you going to DO with that?”. To me that’s not always important. The joy is in the creating, in the learning. Thank you for sharing your journey through this wonderful day.

[@therobertsuk8498]

I so agree with this, I’ll do craft fairs approaching Christmas, but if I don’t sell anything, it doesn’t matter as they are my creations and I love them anyway! I just gave a load of baby cardigans to my boss (a gp) to give to the midwives to give to new mums.

Dear Kate, thank you for this wonderful video. My day was a little rough with two tired little people and despite (or because of) they were so tired they could not fell asleep... but now it is quiet in the house and I got a while for myself with my knitting and you. I feel relaxed and filled with new energy to fix the kitchen and the laundry. And when I feel overwhelmed I try to tell myself that you might not have had as much creating time when your kids were small but times change and one day I will have a lot of creating time and miss those busy days.

My grandmother taught me to embroider when I was. Small child. She had a saying [form her German heritage] ‘Langes schnur,faules Madel” which means long thread ,lazy girl.

Oops, the last sentence ran away with me. Anyway, there are things I make just because I like to have them in front of me. It is nice to see you, Kate, doing the same. What lovely idea stringing up these tiny pieces of material in your tunnel. I love it. It is such a joy to watch color move and shimmer, whether the object is made by nature or by you.
