I know you hear this all the time, but I do feel like I just ran into a long lost friend. In the world we live in, it is comforting to hear your gentle way of talking and just chatting. I believe it is difficult sometimes for older women to find that one friend that gets who you are. I get that feeling when I watch your videos. When one has been a wife and mother while having to work full time there is not much time to develop friendships outside of your daily life, and so when we reach our old age it is difficult to forge those friendships. What I tell younger women who get so busy about life that they need to be sure to not exclude girlfriends as they will be a treasure in their later years. Anyway Kate, thank you for sharing your time and talent with us. You are truly a gem.

February 3 2024 Maryland USA: Put so well. So difficult when especially for myself, serving in the US Army for twenty years and going into a war zone for some time plus at the time my children were 13 years old, 3 years old and a baby at 4 months. We were living in Germany so my brother in law flew over to bring my children back to the USA. Then retiring they were still little and one in high school so again the demands were great and social connection with an authentic friend was so rare. I do have 5 ladies we see each other every year at a retreat or forum. We are so appreciative of where they other is. But here with Kate I have been following her for several months with Anna’s journey in quilt making and yes the lime green sofa is the best part of my day.

When I was a child, my mother showed me a corkscrew willow in our front yard which was a volunteer. Because her and my father fed the birds and reaped the rewards of their "poop"....which spread flower and tree seed.. It was GRAND. GREAT MEMORIES of a romantic, telling tree😍 So thank you for sharing your twisted willow with us all. Bless your hardworking soul🤩🥰 You always cheer us up❣💚💟💚

Recent subscriber here. I've raced through all your old videos while doing a cross stitch that's been under the bed for 16 years (New Year's Resolution: finish or bin unfinished objects!) I sew, knit, crochet, papercraft, make soap, play with beads, etc. and my dad used to keep bees when I was a child, so watching you extract honey makes me very nostalgic. I was pleasantly surprised to note on my binge watch that he and your dad have their birthday in common. And then later on, was a bit mind blown to discover that so did my mum and your mum! Spooky. As regards October: put a reminder in your phone for October 1st. Loving the channel. Hope there's room for me on the LGS.

My grandfather kept bees. When I was a little girl, I wanted to learn how to work with the bees, but he said I was too little, and I could help when I was bigger. But when I was a bigger girl, the bees were gone and I reminded him that he was going to teach me how to work with them. He kept them on the summer cottage property, so he couldn't watch them all the time. He told me that he couldn't keep them through the winter well enough, so he stopped keeping them. 😥

Kate, like a lot of people I found your channel by accident looking for a EPP tutorial. My very first quilt was a grandmother’s flower garden that I made while still in school. That was over thirty years ago. Anyway wanted to make another one and found your channel and found it absolutely lovely and very helpful. So I had to go back and watch from the beginning, so since Dec 2022 I have been sat on the lime green sofa drinking tea, eating chocolate biscuits and making my 1 1/4” Henie quilt watching all your videos. And I have to tell you on every single video there is an advert at the beginning and end of every video. It does not interrupt your video, unless I stop it for whatever reason and start it again later. Then an ad comes on before yours starts up again. I am still playing catch up still a year left to watch. But I will be current soon, take care….

You put all this mixture in a parchment paper and you make a sort of big sausage ( the diameter of a can of a soda ). After 2 or 3 hours in the fridge, you can cut the slices like a '' salame '' wich is an Italian charcuterie. This is my mother recipe, directly from the Seventies , when I was a child .

And by the way, i can refresh my English 😉😊. All the best for you take care and have fun every day with all your doings. Hopefully you understand my German School English. Many greetings from Austria.

Good Sunday Evening Kate and Anna. The flowers are beautiful Kate and I love them too. Kate I also love that beautiful quilt on your wall behind, Awww so beautiful and I love the colors. The video was lovely today. Have a wonderful evening.❤️🧵✂️😃

[@joharmon2148]

Oh I do think I need some of that sweet bits in my life right now. Thank You!

[@kiztorres3218]

I don't think I've seen a video with adverts. Which is one of the reasons I love watching them. Thank you, Kate, it makes such a difference to enjoy your talks. Imagine a friend having a chat with you and stopping every ten minutes to show you an advert on their phone... Sponsored friendship...😀but if you want to introduce interesting/ relevant products to us by presenting them yourself so you can continue your wonderful channel, that would be lovely! Like when a friend tells you about something useful or wonderful they have just bought or have been using for ages. I'm sure there a lot of sewing/ craft companies that are queuing up to sponsor your channel. You deserve the best. Thank you for a lovely chat on your sofa. (I brought my little poodle Totoro, but don't worry, he's an angel, he loves everybody, including cats❤️)

I’ll wait till my grands come around to make Tiffin They will love it. I’ve got both my vaccines so it will be soon!

[@gailpost173]

You are such a tease Kate! I’ve given up chocolate for Lent. My willpower has been sorely tempted watching this 😋😋😋 guess what I’ll be making in a few weeks!!! Thanks for sharing 💚💕💚💕💚💕💚💕

[@janettebarr6538]

Mum why is Anna not coming she’s still standing and your nearly home 😆

[@teresagibson2974]

Hello Kate the Tiffin looks delicious 😊. Talking about cats, 3 years ago are cat had to be put to sleep. We were all very sad, then about a month later the weather was hot. We had are back door opened and around the door appeared a little face, it took us by suprise as it was a cat and she looked the same as are cat we had put down. This cat lives a few doors away. She has been popping in most days since. We feel God sent her to ease are sad hearts.

[@NancyMacArthur-n6w]

I so enjoy watching you and listening to you. I'm almost 75 and am in Missouri, USA. For 39 years my friend and I sent letters back and forth She lived in Leeds and I was in Washington State, USA. She and I were 12 yrs old when we began writing.. She passed away in 2001 I still miss our letters.

[@murieltainter5936]

We will remind you when it is October. I'm with Anna, I love white chocolate and it is even better with broken Oreos and peppermint hard candy. You'd be surprised if you dropped into facebook. The ladies are always posting pictures of their handy work. Beautiful things. Far better than what I could do. Is there a reason why you do not like to? I can help if you need it. Great to see Sadie and Norma again. Thanks for the video.

[@pamcox8582]

Yes, I was wondering how we could remember to remind her in October.

[@vivianpowell1732]

A friend gave me some delicious chocolate candies for Christmas. Called Peppermint Melts, dark chocolate pieces filled with white chocolate and crushed peppermint candy bits. I enjoyed every bite.

[@annelefevre9457]

I got pushed right off the end of your lime green couch because you had so many!!!!!! I didn’t get any of that delicious candy you made! Boo hoo! My mouth is just watering so I have to get up and go make me some all the way over in Idaho USA! What a special lovely day for you to get flowers and have yummy chocolate all on the same day!WOW‼️‼️💐💐💐💐💐👍👍👌👌

[@janetfraser8317]

The blooms look like spider mums

[@nanigail395]

This was 3 years ago; but I am truly enjoying every moment today since I started sitting on the LGSofa with all of the friends & visiting with you, lovely Kate ❤ Oh, I will definitely take 2 pieces 🥰 yummy

[@lizadams7662]

Cut very small pieces, she says cutting large hunks..

[@virgorising7388]

Of all the home and garden style vlogs if seen, Kate's music is the best. I just love it. It's perfectly Kate.

[@karenwright9123]

Had a lovely walk in your little woods...love the flowers. Thanks for the Tiffin,all my favorite chocolates,too. I like sewing and chats and cats...I think we will pass some good times together.

[@nelsonshakespeare2881]

I was just informed that i must move out of my home soon. Bummer but i am watching you do such awesime thungs like planting and creating life ans beauty to the earth and i am pulling out of my sadness and trying to look forward to finding a new home that I will be long term and full of possibilities to add touches of life color and love. Hope I will find another nice country place that i can afford. But until then know that you all boost my spirits. Thanks all on the LGS for being in the world to hold one another up in difficult times. Bless all and here are some biscuits for you all and a bag of sweet potato banana snaps for the pups and tuna bits for the kits. I've a kettle on it will be round soon too.💛🙏✌💞

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

oh dear Susan - that is bad news for you - but you make your new place amazing! take care xxxx

[@magsohara7908]

I love alstroemerias- I usually buy 2 bunches and they seem to last for ages 🌾🌸🌾🌼🌾🌺 Well!! That was a revelation Maltesers on tiffin. Ooh lovely. I usually put raisins in mine but I like the idea of cranberries too. Thank you for sharing your goodies 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MariaM-yn9tl]

🥰💕Great to see you Kate! Enjoying my sewing on the LGS & really enjoying such a great chocolate treat. I really enjoyed this video thanks for sharing. I’m moving on over to make some more room on the sofa! 🥰💕🧵🧶🏠👍👍

[@amandall3633]

Gorgeous flowers. As a student Nurse, almost 40yrs ago, it was the job we were often give, arranging the flowers..💐🌹🌸💞

[@seasidestitches615]

Wow. 35 years in your lovely house! It’s great that the days are getting longer, and brighter, and your flowers are beautiful and hopeful, and I’ve never made Tiffin, but certainly will do soon Kate. Ohhh, you are naughty! 🤗😉❤️

[@nothingbutthetruth2145]

I came across your channel this week. And I cant stop watching. I love your natural friendly presenting style. I just love watching videos of people tinkering around. Your home is beautiful. Your voice is very soothing. I watch your videos while I'm in my craft room attempting to make things. They never turn out right. I have all the gear but no idea. Anyway thanks for giving us an insight into your crafting world and home

[@juliannaburgess9177]

Good morning! I know it's out of date and time but I'm enjoying my morning coffee while watching this video. I do enjoy your videos. I feel as though we are neighbors. I TRULY would love to visit, what an adventure and knowledge we could share. I'm fascinated by your recipe for brownies.Will need to adapt it for USA products. But more so...I do enjoy hearing your dialic of words. I was told the same when I moved from one state to another. My new family members didn't always understand what I was describing or saying. It was TRULY as a learning experience for everyone. Funny at times and even eye brow raising as well. Do ENJOY the lime green sofa idea. We are ALL neighbors. Carry on. Take care.

[@carmenbailey1560]

Nice to have flowers delivered once a month, what a great treat to look forward to, love this idea. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@janisedmondson7132]

This is Mr Rogers wife! At least it feels that way…an adult Mr(s) Rogers, talking calmly and best friendly. Love it.❤

[@avrilplummer7047]

Gorgeous flowers Kate, Oh yes please pass the plate along with the very yummy looking Tiffin. I hope it makes it all the way down here to New Zealand. White chocolate and Maltesers, oooooh heaven. Well have the company thought of making white chocolate Maltesers I wonder? Always so lovely to see you Kate and HI to all on the Sofa xxxxx

[@ruthmalcolm3028]

Hi Kate! I only discovered you two weeks ago, my friend Jacqueline and I have a weekly video chat which has resulted in her teaching me some quilting. So I started to search you tube for starter projects and found your quick log cabin cushion tutorial. Well there’s been no stopping me catching up with your videos. Along with my hobbies they are proving to be a lifesaver, taking my mind off missing my family and friends. Your gentle manner and sense of humour are a tonic, the set up of a mix of chat and video without loud intrusive adverts is perfect. I also love cats, enjoy gardening, baking and various crafts. Thank you so very much. Ruth in Norwich.

[@jeanhoffman-d6m]

I’ve only been watching for about a month. You have renewed my interest in quilting! I have already made 1 quilt top. I have all the squares, paper, fabric pieces and threads ready to make the Scottie dog to match. I’m taking a four hour Amtrak trip to see my granddaughter in NYC, so I’m looking forward to making the 92 squares for the dog while I’m traveling. You are so very talented and I love sitting on the lime green couch. Stay well and God bless you. P. S. One of my favorite shows is Call The Midwife!! Jean

[@SusanBAnderson]

Loved it all, Kate. Thank you for such a long and lovely video, the sneak peek of your patreon quilt (its' so beautiful), the tiffin which I've never seen or heard of before (I have to make this for my family), the beautiful flowers, the tree tour.... all just the best. You continue to make my day with your videos! Thank you.

[@d14551]

I especially enjoyed watching the flower arrangement you made. You rather demystified it for me.

[@louiserood8499]

How pleasant a visit with you at the Last Homely House.❤️

[@Kirstyglow]

Thank you so much for an absolute beautiful channel. I can't get enough of all your videos. You are such a beautiful heart and soul of a person, i love spending time with you. Sadie reminds me of my Rufus he would follow me all the way out to the back of the paddocks with the horses. Was a great memory. Lotsa love and hugsss to you and all your beautiful cats 💙🐈🌸

[@rosesbaker]

Thank you for my Sunday visit... always a pleasure 😊😃

[@wilddogafricaoverland]

Oh my hat. My mouth was watering and then you added the Maltesers. Well I never.

[@sandysears4235]

I'm so happy I found you. I don't know why but I keep your videos playing when I'm in my sewing room working. Feels like I'm sewing with a friend when you're voice is on. Thanks so much for the work you do to entertain us! I can't wait for every Sunday's post.

[@sharonvantroyen9686]

The blooms look like they possibly could be ranunculus, but I’m not certain. Lovely!

[@pwitherspoon100]

I just got diagnosed with pre diabetes, so I’m trying to cut back on the amount of sweets and carbs that I eat. Your chocolate confection has put a craving on me. 😊❤❤❤.
