[@diannenaworensky6698]

I am a Star person so I LOVE this video !!!

[@KathrineKeselowsky-gw5bv]

Canada checking in! Shall make some for Christmas this year, 2024. Seasons Greeting to you and yours.

[@kathysunshine699]

Thankyou for this!… I Saw this 5 years ago, and I just watched again, only this year, I think I will make a wreath out of these stars, just to see what they look like…. This video, also reminds me of all the Christmas’s decorations made between,the first and this year….plus friends and loved ones,we have lost and new friends and loved ones we have made (and how grandchildren grow in 5 years!) …Also how each Christmas memory is precious. May we all have many more Christmas times ahead ,in peace and good health !🎄

[@nanciring8235]

When I was a little girl, I made these out of paper, then dipped them in melted wax and sprinkled with glitter!! They were sooo pretty!!❤️

[@mrscms831]

ohhh, that sounds fun.

[@debraanger209]

That does sound lovely

[@cathyphegley7848]

That sounds wonderful too! I love glitter!🥳🎉🤩

[@alicejanak4760]

My church ladies and I have an ornament exchange each year. I just found my 2024 ornament. Thank you Kate, it’s lovely!

[@SewPat1]

My granddaughters followed your video today and made 4 of these today. They r 10 and 11. Years old. Thank u for a great video

[@duannwebb1340]

The Christmas boxes have been a full time job the past months. You will be ready to retire again so you can do some sewing and crafting for yourself. It has been nice for you to spend time with Anna. We have enjoyed your box prep videos.

[@lisaworkman4293]

Theses ideas remind me of when my Grandmother would send me a box for me for my birthday! Thank you for great ideas!

[@gonerustic]

Lovely clear tutorial - thank you! 😊😊

[@linsmith2310]

❤😊 Thank U Kate what a great gift too share with Grand kids in Creating for their tree, Awesomely ❤😊

[@quiltinggurlquiltgal]

This popped up on my feed from 5 years ago. Too 😂 but timely

[@RosalynGrady]

Perfect timing for this video, I have been looking for an easy to follow method of making these stars. Here we are 5 years since you published this and I have found you. Brilliant!!!!!! Thank you Kate 🥰🎄

[@heathertroynak9041]

Right? Same here! Kate is like a resource library with the coziest librarian for us makers ❤

[@annebotterill7971]

Me too! Making some as wedding favours for my big day next week

[@mariehansen2534]

You are so generous, not only with your gifts but with your time. Thank you for sharing the tutorial for the Christmas Star, I am not a sewer but love to knit and you never know even though the Star is not sewn, it is very delicate and that's something that I am not. Take care

[@ardybb]

Why not knit 4" x 15" bits in two different yarns in color or texture and try making them in " knit fabric "?

[@sandramyer7081]

I remember these Danamend's place that had fabric and ribbon glory

[@sandramyer7081]

Spelling? Not sure but I LOVED it!!-Danamand's

[@theresaricci7033]

I have seen several tutorials of how to make this star. Yours was the best!!!! The overhead view and the slow teaching demo was the trick for me. Thank you and God bless!!!

[@annebotterill7971]

Definitely the best

[@bethmckey2184]

Oh that’s so much easier than the one I followed, thank you Kate.

[@ellenlawrence9280]

thanks for the star im makin g one for everyone to give a money gitr in place of a check love watching you

[@juliearanzamendi]

Thank you Kate for bringing a wonderful childhood memory back.

[@TheShmoo123]

Kate, you are a fabric star 🌟

[@judyzeigler3980]

Those are so very cute. Love them. Thank you so much for sharing.😊

[@pita1184]

You are so peaceful to watch. I shall try this, this fall.

[@jorgelinaforrest1151]

This video popped in this week! And I'm so glad. I have started production, thank you Kate they look great.

[@bernadineanderson2679]

Wish I could add a photo! I’m Pastor at a church of 25. I made each member a folded star and packaged them similar to the way you did. What a blast! You must have very strong hands. Mine are very sore after just 30! Can’t wait to hand the little packages out!

[@lindalosier5989]

Enjoyed this series of videos very much. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@karenruth963]

I fully enjoyed this preview of the Christmas box. I will miss the daily videos. Will see you Monday.

[@greencheek5056]

I always love rewatching your Christmas box series! It's been many years since I made these. You've inspired me to make a few more this year. Thank you, and I hope you can feel how many people genuinely care about you and your family. Thank you for all your inspiration.

[@lindaf8423]

Love the magic of your assembly line production! Great production line you have! Made me smile and laugh. Thanks!

[@RomyHouston-y9v]

Love these! Unless it is different in England, you do drive on the wrong side of the road 😂, you say clockwise and then move your finger counter-clockwise! lol. Fortunately I learn by looking not as much listening! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have made many stars!

[@gailjames6489]

Thank you, thank you, thank you that was the absolutely best presentation of how to do the starts.👏👏👏👏💙😊

[@susannetyree7217]

Thank you Kate for the his video. I have been wanting to make these stars for a couple of years. Made it look so easy.

[@kathyscurlock6447]

Just watched you make a Scandinavian Folded Star for Christmas. What a lovely idea. Years ago when my girls were small, we made hand crafted Christmas stars. I am going to make some for Christmas. Thank You, Kate. October 2024.

[@debracampbell5151]

Excellent! I might try making a dozen of these as a "white elephant" gift for our family's annual Christmas gathering.

[@amyohl5037]

Frost whites and blues would look good too

[@ardybb]

Think I will try natural burlap and linen for my living room and turquoise and red in my craft room. Lovely lesson. I like the way you teach. Ah an ironing station in the future! Lovely.

[@debbielee7117]

I’m watching this in 2022. These stars are very popular this year! Great to see Kate’s take on them! Merry Christmas!

[@Quilting_sky]

I made these but with ribbon for gift strapping as a child for Christmas! They ended up tiny.but me and my baby brother loved making these.

[@joenperkins2138]

The star is lovely. I have so enjoyed the videos. Thank you so much. Blessings.

[@madelaine3209]

I wish you would number all your videos so I can start rewatching every single one again and not miss one. Thank you for all the joy you give.

[@susanfryer1616]

Love the stars Thankyou

[@marlabridges5969]

Beautiful and Norma didn't get her tail in it, Blessings to you mam.

[@lancashirelass5903]

Thank you for sharing you have some beautiful things in your Christmas boxes

[@gailfirenze4760]

Thank you Kate, what a sweet little star to add to my Christmas decorations. 🙋🏼‍♀️🇦🇺💕

[@twyla2575]

The stars are a labor of love, for sure. Missed dear Norma.

[@valeriebrogan1953]

I've tried all sorts of other sites to learn how to make these stars but all of them were too fast or too confusing. I made my practice one out of paper and it went really well. Thank you SO much.

[@judykiesow3922]

We tried these a couple of years ago at our Quilt Guild Christmas party. There were 30 people with 2 people trying to show us and it was a disaster! I think I could do it now that I've seen your video! Thanks!!!

[@wendywilson1736]

I have tiny paper starts that also have the points.on one side of these stars. They were made by my aunt and one of her daughters. Tiny, as in 3/4" (about 2 cm) wide. I would have loved to have been able to make them with my aunt and cousin, but they have both passed on, and are among the real stars in heaven.

[@deniseledbetter6091]

I am watching this in September 2024. I will be making some of these for my grown children. Thank you Kate ❤😊

[@sharyncolca3619]

Hello Kate, Thank you for this wonderful Christmas Star video. I’m watching this in late October 2024. I will try making these for an Ornament donation my guild does to decorate a tree for a local art museum fundraiser. I will probably need to scale the size down since our ornaments need to be 3 inches but that doesn’t seem too hard to do. Keep being you. I LOVE watching your show from Connecticut in the United States ❤

[@dixiebryant7563]

How fun!! These would be cute in the Christmas box along with the silver needle threaders you found in your glass front cabinet!!😊

[@brokenpines8491]

Very pretty! You do make them seem easy to make. I am going to give them a try. They will make delightful door decorations for my local retirement home. The residents there enjoy things like this during the holidays. Thanks Kate, your Christmas boxes are filled with beautiful and thoughtful items.

[@montraclements6988]

I love to watch you no matter what you are making. You are a joy!!

[@brendastajkowski502]

You have such a peaceful environment. I am a recent follower and do enjoy the calm in a world far too busy.

[@lindas6484]

When I have made these I found it useful to use a pair of tweezers to pull the ends through the loops and put a wonder clip on the star point to keep it in place 😊

[@joanelsander33]

Beautiful! Going to make some of those.

[@eileenmaga2152]

Very clear. Thanks so much. I watched several and will go with yours. I love all your "makes".

[@lindacampbell320]

Darling stars. I love the colors. I have similar fabric so I’m going to have a go. Thank you for the video. I’m on the far end of the green couch. Pet Norma for me. Stay safe. LInda, PA, USA

[@lucy7b]

I made these last year. Mr Domestic’s style is frenetic, I have watched several of his quilting videos. I prefer your calm English style. Thank you. I am making a couple of ‘hampers’ for two good friends this year, I’m including food and hand made gifts. I think I’ll make a couple of stars, thank you for reminding me about them. By the way I have received your calendar, it is great, such lovely photographs. Love from Oxford.

[@karentzn]

I’ve seen a couple tutorials and yours is the best to understand. Thank you

[@sandraponte3121]

Wow...your boxes sold out quickly! Wonderfully put together!

[@sandeebodza265]

Great video as always, Kate. You have helped me get my "sewjo" back. I made these fabric stars when I found that I have great, great grandparents that are Scandinavian. There is another called the Advent star. It has more strips that are thinner and are weaved the same in the center. The ends are glued together to make the star point. They are also pretty weaved in wicker. Thanks for sharing this nice little stocking stuffer.

[@AudreyAL6]

thanks for demo in making the stars and I have loved watching the Christmas box trips

[@jeanettesmith3341]

Thank you Kate. 😍 agree with you on the U-Tube . Sometimes they do go a bit fast. And I starch all my fabric before cutting up 😁

[@carrolconroy1038]

I love the star's Kate, I have made several large stockings for my family so I am going to make the star's to put in, I I have made the lavender bags already just have to get the Lavender. I just love your videos so interesting. I do all the crafts you do. I was interested in the spinning of the alpacas fleece, I also spun a beautiful white one and black. I was a member of the North Northumberland Spinner,s group and did all the agriculture shows ,most enjoyable.

[@ashleyadams6803]

I watched a video of someone make this the other day and halfway through gave up!! You instruction is far superior! Thank you so much, I’ve subscribed! I love your accent!

[@brendak5486]

Wow! I just found these stars and watched a couple videos on KZbin, but then I found you! It was the one I saved and immediately subscribed to everything you have! You're a wonderful teacher and I can't wait to make these and binge-watch all of your videos. I am sew excited!

[@alfredathomson5691]

Hi, thank you for being so clear with the instructions and I will for sure make some as Christmas gifts for my daughter and daughter in law.😊

[@jillychandler]

Love these no sew stars, and you have explained how to make them so clearly Kate, thank you, for all your patience. Blessings from Devon, England. xxx

[@christinepease890]

wonderful Kate hope I manage to get a box , have a beautiful weekend thank you so much I adore your videos x x

[@barbarahaupt6950]

You are such a delight Kate! Thankful for all your tutorials!

[@lindawitherspoon446]

What a great week. I got to see Kate every day. Thanks for posting these vids. What a treat. Love the stars. Sooooo cute.

[@hesmeraldavillalon1628]

It was an awesome video

[@kathrynhermanherman6446]

Love these stars! Thank you for sharing, Kate.

[@marie-theresehayes6875]

Been looking at loads of the tutorials for this star and yours was by far the most straight forward! Brilliant. Thanks

[@deborahfitzer6877]

Mr. Domestic is a hoot! I need some of his energy!

[@doloreshigbie1892]

you are the most wonderful person to watch.. your love of sewing and teaching is beyond words... love from NY to you...

[@gamk8348]

Thanks for doing this! I watched another video on this and I thought no way! Too difficult. Yours is so much easier. Thank you!

[@debracampbell5151]

BTW great editing job done by Anna. You are very blessed to have her.

[@sylviapage8572]

They are lovely and I’ve got some Christmas fabric in my loft which has been there about 20 years waiting for the right project, maybe I’ll get it out and make some stars. Thanks for sharing because it’s been lovely watching you put together the lovely 2019 Christmas box.

[@lucy7b]

Sylvia Page I urge you to make some. I did last year, they are ridiculously satisfying to make.

[@melaniesettle9353]

Your 2019 Christmas box videos was fun to watch. I really like going on the field trips to see the places that make the fun items you've added to this box. It was fun to meet the other artists in your area. Can't wait to see what is next for your sewing videos. Thanks Kate! Many blessing to you and your family!

[@carriehoman8476]

Excellent instructions Kate. Thanks for slowing it down!

[@fayneilly833]

Thank you definitely the best tutorial for the little star.

[@louiseschicchi5244]

My calendar arrived today. It is beautiful thank you so much for marking and making my birthday special on this very very special calendar. I have an alarm set for tomorrow so I can purchase the Christmas box. Can’t wait.

[@candacenagle505]

Ha! SUCCESS!!!!! I just made my first prototype star...it turned out satisfactory but will need some practice. I am not as skilled with my hands as you are. I am going to make these for Christmas gifts. Thanks again!!!

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

Revisiting this lovely video, Kate, as I think about doing this craft out of paper with some of my 900 elementary art students. Wish me luck! I also think it would be a lovely craft for a family activity as we get together for the Thanksgiving here in the US and Christmas. I always have so many ideas and so little energy. Thank you for all you do.

[@nightfallstarbright8294]

Wow all that fabric! Love Mister Domestic, he's awesome, always makes me laugh. Great video Kate, I enjoyed your relaxed version x

[@LindaWilde-y6l]

I really love the stars, thank you. 😊 ❤

[@LindaLane-o8v]

I love to watch you. You make it look easy. You are so talented! So glad to subscribe!

[@doreensherk287]

I just saw this and enjoyed watching you make these, I may give them a try!

[@tammyadams7965]

What a Wonderful week this has been. I thoroughly enjoyed each daily surprise. Thank you & Anna for sharing this with all of us. Blessings to you and your family.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Those are so pretty, and remind me of a time when I was having to pay for some very bad decisions I'd made years earlier. I made those stars out of regular white office paper to decorate our tree. Along with some bows made from inexpensive ribbon, and some flour & salt dough cutouts, our tree was quite festive! It's been great fun going here and there with you, and watching your boxes come together, Thanks!

[@ellenrose2533]

Wow, wonderful in material, these are my "go to" stars for Christmas, which I make in paper and are 3D. I use all different papers and they are so much fun. I'm going to make your ones Kate, in material for my quilty friends. Thanks for the inspiration, as always you are amazing. E x💕

[@annajackson9001]

I was thinking the same,about trying it with paper😀

[@ellenrose2533]

@@annajackson9001 Hi. A friend showed me the 3d stars in paper. I've searched utube for you. Type in froebel star and a few choices will come up. Good luck. E💫

[@pbcatwoman5841]

The stars are lovely, thank you Kate!😻💟🙋‍♀️🌲

[@jackiejames775]

loved watching these have and still binge watching previous podcast. You are so inspiring. I hope to get back to making things crafting. Thank you

[@gailnt1955]

Oh, Kate, I have so enjoyed all your videos this week for your wonderful Christmas box. I am going to try and make this star. I think I have watched the other video you mentioned. I appreciate your gentleness and calm.

[@annepayne3211]

I have just found the Stars and you make it so easy to do - by being slow enough to follow = am making them for a market in 2020 so many thanks

[@kayblue8975]

It is 2 1/2 years later now but I am so glad to have found this video of yours! What a beautiful little project! I have just been to the UK recently (I live in Switzerland) and bought some Christmas fabric! So I can already start with the stars during summer! :-) Thank you so much, Kate, for sharing so many beautiful things with us! And thank you for all your warmth and love that make spending time on the limegreen sofa so nourishing for the soul! Much love, health and happiness to you Kay

[@chrisberry9017]

Hello Kay! Like you I have just come across this video, and thought much the same as you! Indeed, Kate’s lovely content, and her generosity of spirit, are a salve to the soul!

[@KarenK-r4f]

Watching your tutorial here November 2024. Before Covid. Yikes. However I must say “fiddily”. Is the perfect word to describe these little ⭐️ things

[@Knits-WIPs-N-Chains]

I bet these would be fun to make with wrapping paper with the kiddos.

[@juliashort4972]

Love the christmas stars I will be making some that's for sure. I have loved watching all the videos for your wonderful boxes...unfortuately my budget doesn't stretch that far but I know hey will sell out very quickly. Looking forward to the new sewing videos/ Thanks Kate! xx

[@viedeprimes]

Thank you. Made 3 Christmas Eve evening for my family. ⭐️

[@linsmith2310]
