I need a Lap Quilt in my Cabin! I have TWEED scraps!

My cabin is taking shape very nicely! You can see the progress here @TheLastHomelyGarden-xw7tw
I have been using it quite a lot, it's a place I can spend an early morning hour or at dusk, I can watch as the sky darkens. It's cold down there at the start of spring here in Northumberland! This little tweed lap quilt is perfect to tuck over my knees!
I never thought I would see the day that I made a quilt out of tweed, but I think all these subtle earthy colours are going to look sensational in the cabin.
If you haven't already, pop over to have a look at my recently revamped website! I am really pleased with how it looks and am grateful to Rita, Anna and Pip who helped put it together.
I have some new treats there, along with some familiar things. I am pleased as well to be able to offer some of the tools I use every day here at The Last Homely House. check it out here

Ah, you can always put it on hold. Be sure to get back to your husband. My husband passed on two years ago and we spent a lot of time watching TV, alone and together.

“Frodo was now safe in the Last Homely House east of the sea. That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, ‘a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all’. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear, and sadness.” (I’m reading Tolkien’s LOTR) ♥️

I remember my grandma, Violet having quilts made of the tweed fabrics. They were warm and comfortable to sleep with. I am 72 years old so this was many years ago. As I have grown older I have a deep respect for the strong woman my grandmother was. She grew and canned her own food. She had beautiful flower gardens around the lot her house was on. All her dish towels were embroidered and had crocheted finished edges. I have some in my hope chest that she made. She made a baby blanket for each addition to our family. As you can see she was an amazing woman. I wish I could have time with her and my other grandmother again. What a blessing she was to my life.❤

[@rosalindwillatts7772]

Two years ago I made a tweed quilt using scraps of fabric left over from my sewing over the last sixty years. I backed it with some new woollen dress fabric I found in my attic . The result a quilt for the top of my bed in in autumn. It is full of memories of garments made over the last 60 years from pure wool tweeds from different parts of the British Isles. A wonderful personal memory

[@lindanonnenmann1112]

Hi Kate, you could always add some black, Navy, brown, purple or red yarn ties the way they tied wool quilts in days gone by. It would add a vintage touch and a bit of color. Love the tweed and cotton combination...so rustic and cozy.

[@lindadickinson3403]

Hello Kate. I am 70 years old, I live in Orland Hills, Illinois. I have never quilted. Watching you gives me confidence. I am determined to learn. Thank you for sharing your valuable skills. You're a sweetheart.

[@dianemacisaac4633]

Hello from the northwest suburbs of Chicsgo! I applaud you wanting to learn to quilt. It is never too late and it is so much fun! Besides Kate’s wonderful channel, the best place to learn is in person classes at a local quilt shop, community classes through your high school district, park district, or local quilt guild. An internet search will bring up the ones nearest to you. Fabric shops may also be aware of local groups. Quilters Quest in Downers Grove has wonderful fabrics and classes for all levels. The Modern Quilt Guild meets in Chicago.

[@chrisdanskin2992]

I love the way that the Indian fabrics are managing to look bright and cheerful at the same time as they look muted and mellow. Very clever - and definitely look better as 5" blocks for a lap quilt.

[@debrinadianesanchez9317]

Dear Kate, your explanations of how you came to veer from your usual brights to sewing with brown thread and tweed, seemed to resonate with me. Quilting journey stories are just as meaningful as the finished project. And truly, you are such a good story teller. I love sewing with brights, but like life itself, browns and tweeds come into our life and should not be ignored. Sewing is creating and we just have to figure a creative way to weave those brown and TWEEDY bits into our life story. In the end you created a quilt story, beautiful and “unbound” that turned out to be cozy after all. This therapy session has been grand. Thank you Dr. Kate of Homely House, East of the sea.

[@TheKjoy85]

I like the fact that when it is folded it looks like a stodgy tweed blanket, then you unfold it and find a burst of bright colors inside.

[@johnlindagillespie8712]

It is so comforting to see you removing stitches you just don't like. I spent half a day sewing pieces together the wrong way, undoing them, redoing them (wrong), undoing them again and finally getting it right! I know your reason was you didn't like the way yours looked and mine was because I wasn't paying close attention to what I was doing, but still - good to know you sometimes remove stitches for whatever reason! Hope spring has sprung in your neck of the woods. We keep getting glimpses, small samples of the beautiful weather coming our way, interspersed with torrential rain and very high winds on chilly days. Fingers crossed that the weather will be lovely for the eclipse on April 8th which is also my husband's birthday. We have family coming to North Texas from Minnesota for the big event. Trying hard to convince hubby that the eclipse was not ordained by God in celebration of his birthday. This will be his 76th so I have had many years of experience convincing him that he's not the center of the universe, but he's being particularly stubborn about this. Wish me luck! Love your channels, by the way!

[@angieallen4884]

What a great way to decorate a room! The unquilted lap robe looks great without quilting, but you won't be able to wash it without the wadding bunching up and moving around, I'm afraid. You might consider tying it with yarn at random intervals or in the corners. Always good to be with you!

[@user-hf6bd1xb9p]

Hi Kate, Ive been watching you now for a few months as I have just stumbled onto sewing late into my 50's. I couldn't tell you how I found your channel but am so happy that I did. I really appreciate the speed and tone of your channel. I am reminded of how watching Mr. Rogers as a child and also an adult made me feel. There was no pizzazz and no jazz. No flashing lights just an easy going show that brought you a lot of good information and you felt better and very relaxed after you'd watched him. I get the same feeling as I watch and rewatch your videos. I like your music choices and as an American I love listening to the beautiful lilt and accent when you narrate. So, thank you for giving of your time and giving this old bird some great listening material as I discover the fabulous world of sewing. M

I love this. I am Irish, my daughter is Norwegian and Irish and she married Ashish from India.

Also, I love, absolutely love the cushion that was intended for the cabin, but for some reason it hasn’t gotten there because you’re using it on your chair, you’re sewing chair!

[@barbarasteffee5666]

The Apple Cake is yummy. Thank you. And thank you for the tweed coverlet idea. I agree with you - it looks very nice the way it is without stitching the "sandwich" together. I hope you embroider your initials and the year in the corner. You could also attach a little pocket for chocolates when Agnes and her brother (when he is older) come to sit with you by the pond. As with all of your podcasts, this one continues the stitching inspiration. Stay safe and well. 🧶🪡🧵

[@janeevans7495]

Kate, you are a darling! You make me laugh out loud and smile all the day long! Just a tip about your lovely tweed lap quilt. My grandma made many quilts from heavy wools for the cold winter nights in Wyoming and she always tied them. She used a red wool thread, so those stogy old quilts had this little red tied knot on top. When we were kids it was fun to fiddle with those red threads when we were wrapped up in one while watching Saturday morning cartoons!

[@cecileroy557]

Watching you using tweed for your quilts brought back wonderful memories for me of my childhood. We would visit my grandparents in Northern Ireland for our summer holidays and we would have patchwork quilts on the bed. They were made from tweed but the squares were crocheted together with orange wool. I believe the tweed squares were from samples as one of my uncles had been a salesman who traveled around the countryside with his case of samples. Oh boy that’s showing my age 👵🏻.

Hi Kate, I live on the Isle of Lewis which is joined onto the Isle of Harris (Outer Hebrides). When we moved here 18 years ago, our local postmistress gave me several bolts of tweed. I would like to make them into a Victorian walking skirt. Tweed is expensive now, even in the charity shops. I love the North East because my Nana lived in Blyth so we spent every summer there. Lovely memories of fishing off the pier, walking the beaches and the Spanish City in Whitley Bay. I learned to row in Morpeth. Love your videos, Mary x

Hi Kate! Welcome home! What a lovely idea to combine the woolen tweed and cotton block prints for the back. If you ever notice your lap quilt needs a bit more stabilizing I have seen woolen/tweed quilts lend themselves beautifully to tying. (I saw this more often in rural Canada where wool was so prized for its warmth.) I have even seen small colorful pompoms on less vibrant wool quilts and that is a whole new category of fun. Anyway, you've inspired me again!

[@karendade9845]

I was thinking the very same thing. Using some of the tweed colours together in random tufts would both stabilise and add a wee bit of softness and whimsy to that gorgeous quilt.
