[@kerfuffle9312]

Yes! Yes! Absolutely thrilling. 🤗🇨🇦

[@jackieoneil779]

You're so lucky Anna to have such s wonderful mother-in-law

[@shellcshells2902]

She really is. Mine was so horrible to me. Anna is so blessed 🙌

[@jackieoneil779]

@Dani O I agree Dani

[@debracampbell5151]

And down the rabbit hole she goes! Welcome to the wonderful world of quilting!

[@sharonrhoads2461]

Loved Anna's "Whoa" moment. So cute. Welcome to the quilting world, Anna. You could add a bit of a border to the sample squares, and make a little doll blanket for Agnes. I bet she would love it.

[@ewep1919]

We are all having fun watching Anna discover the joy we all feel as quilters. Everyone starts out with training wheels and you have the best teacher, Anna. 🥰

[@karenjenkins4969]

What a great teacher you are Kate! Anna you are doing a fantastic job and I'm loving coming along on this journey with you! X 💜

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Thank you! She is a really great teacher - feel very lucky! Anna xx

[@lynnstapleton5459]

Are you going to continue to quilt? I’ve been waiting for the next installment. You are doing great.

[@sandrawhitakermyer4146]

Me too🥰💕

[@peggydove8756]

How sweet this is, Kate, you are a wonderful Mother in law!! Anna, you are a sweet daughter in law, blessed to have such a great cheerful teacher!

[@206gmp]

What a lucky girl Anna is, to be taught how to quilt by Kate! So patient & encouraging!! I love to watch the two of you together. Warms the heart for sure! Keep with it, Anna!! P.S. The fabrics that you are using are my favorite color!!! 😉💜💜💜

[@debrastocks7051]

You two are precious together. You remind me of all the fun times I had learning new crafting styles with my late mother in law. We had such fun times together :) Anna you are doing so well and have a great teacher. You will be doing a solo flight soon.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Thank you! That's so nice you had all those lovely crafting times with your mother in law too! Anna xx

[@sonyamah5444]

Anna is so lucky to have you as a mother in law, mentor, friend, quilt teacher! And i can see the joy in your face enjoying her learning and companionship…. Truly wonderful

[@roseandtraincottage]

The whole process, from teacher to apprentice, to choosing fabric and sewing it all together, is just lovely! Way to go, Kate and Anna!

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Kate and Anna enjoy their time together so much. It's a joy to watch 🤗

[@susuburleson878]

It certainly is!

[@teresagoodman2501]

oh, the wonderful things you CAN from your mother-in-law!!!! My mother-in-law is 95 years old, i have learned so much from her.

[@blacksmithhouseblackforest]

I only found your channel a few days ago and I have already watched heaps of vlogs. I love your house and you have encouraged me to find my old prohects from 25 years ago....I want to quilt again...

[@judisewnsew6514]

❤️

[@lynngallegos2727]

Watching you and Anna is a joy. You both are so patient. Love it.

[@pixiesweeney6535]

Kate and Anna are so lucky to have each other! As we say, there are no Quilt Police so do what you like! And there would be nothing wrong with finishing this small quilt that you learned on and donating it! I like purple and lavender, but that's just me!☺It is fun watching you teach your daughter in law. Anna will learn so much from you, Kate!😍

[@ms.booklover2676]

“The quilt police would have your guts for garters.” 😂😂😂 My laugh for this week. The quilt police should see some of the quilts my granny made. I’m certain she never bought an inch of fabric for her quilts. She simply gathered all the fabric scraps from anyone who would donate them to her and made dozens of quilts to keep us all warm. Her quilts made the crazy quilt design appear to be the most planned and orderly quilt in the history of quilting. Her stitching was as wobbly as some of the pig trails nearby her childhood home. Every child and grandchild has received at least one of her quilts. One of her sons was buried in his 101st year in the warmth of one of her creations. My mother found comfort in them while she endured Alzheimer’s disease. My granny worried until the end of her 99 years (in 1997) about everyone keeping warm. She kept us all very warm, and her quilts still remind us of her and her remarkable life. What more could the quilt police want from a quilt? I so enjoy your channel, Kate. I love following the story of Agnes’ quilt, the British Isles quilt, the quilt commissions, Norma, Rita, Eileen, and all your creations. You are a delight to watch and to listen to.

[@gailpost173]

Love seeing you take this journey together. So exciting and so many adventures await. Can’t wait for the next instalment. Xx

[@lindahealey6992]

Bravo, Anna! Be ready to accept the fact that there will be many rabbit holes as you move along in your quilting journey, and that there’s always the option to make another one later!

[@cathyhasfaith6991]

I just love you ladies, Kate and Anna! You no doubt are enjoying the craft of quilting by now Anna❤

[@susangarman9561]

Kate, you and Anna have the sweetest relationship. You're like best friends. You two have the best time together. You laugh and laugh. What a joy! Beautiful memories you both are making. And they are recorded for posterity. I would back these videos up if you can so you both will have them for your selves and your grandchildren through John and Anna. You never know what can happen to your channel on KZbin. So finding a way to back up your videos for personal use can save them to pass down.❤😊♥️🇺🇲

[@dianesjolander357]

You are both just lovely together! Thank you for taking us along on Anna's quilting journey.

[@marinacassidy8069]

It’s was lovely to see the joy you felt Kate teaching your daughter in law a lovely thing to work on together looking forward to see the quilt progress xx

[@gailphillips957]

Another quilter, yeah. Love watching your videos. Such a joy to see mother-in-love with such a good relationship with her daughter in love. I only had boys but now I have a daughter in love 🥰

[@lisalove9637]

Anna. Keep going with the beautiful purples for Agnus a quilt made with her great grandmother's favorite fabrics. I am sure Agnus will treasure the quilt made by her mother.

[@yonwife5879]

Made from scratch is apparently a sporting term when the start line was scratched into the ground. Lovely video,thank you for sharing.

[@joycemcbride2458]

Good to know! I enjoy learning the origins of our common responses that don’t often make sense. Love getting the meaning which now makes sense. 👍

[@virginiacollis4580]

Anna is so fortunate to have you for a mother-in-law. I only had 1 that would have been good but she passed away before we got married. I so wanted a good one. Too late now. Enjoy all the time u have with all yr children and in-laws. Bless u all. Delia, Oreo and me. 😺🐈👵🧸🥰

[@marybeth4002]

Kate and Anna, You are bringing myself and countless others so much joy with this series. Anna, I'm learning right alongside you as this is my first attempt at machine piecing - I've been intimidated for decades. Kate, each time you offer Anna support and encouragement - I know you are talking to all of the viewers too. I'm sharing this with my two adult daughters - we've been bitten! You are both gems. Hugs from across the pond.

[@taunamcbee8626]

What a joy to watch. Your relationship is just delightful. Thanks for the quilting lesson as well.

[@beverleyhasler1521]

We’ll done ladies. Have fun Anna. A fantastic journey you’ve started on. Welcome to quilting 🥰

[@jantrewitt4058]

I wish I would have had a teacher like Kate when I started quilting!! It was just the quilt book and me!

[@geralynlima9152]

All the possibilities.....that’s why we as quilters make more than one ☺️

[@keressabeverage2622]

Anna, what a sweet treat you are and what joy you also bring to these lovely videos! I love your connection with Kate!❤

[@suzannestauffer7761]

It's absolutely delicious to watch how excited Kate gets as she watches Anna sewing. It's such a great feeling to pass on your knowledge to the next generation. Well done both of you!!

[@laurenwatt3124]

I've only just discovered your channel this week, and I always grieved the lack of grandparent and parent passing on of skills, All my painting, crafting, sewing skills are learned from youtube from lovely people like yourself. But I am committed to passing on those skills (such as they are) to my own children and grandchildren. Thank you for such wonderful examples.

[@lavenderlaceladylavenderla5420]

What a wonderful relationship you both have, rare for ‘In-laws’. Lovely to see. Xxx

[@gingerfeeley6849]

My favorite Sunday activity! Watching Kate! And Anna when she is on!

[@ndlz1]

Go Anna! Well done! Remember not a mistake, a learning experience towards skill building.👏🏻

[@tamariematics2646]

I am so enjoying you and Anna quilting. I had all boys and their wives had no desire to learn quilting. Sigh! So I live vicariously through you and Anna!

[@michellecropsey4238]

Visiting your tutorials is the most pleasant thing I do for myself. Kate, you remind me of my late mother in law as she was just as helpful, supportive , caring and loving to me as you are with Anna. Love the ahh-haa moments!

[@jessicarabbit1164]

I feel like I'm in heaven with all of those Purples!!

[@rachelb4235]

Love watching her learning experience. Pretty much all of this I learned from trial and error. My first fabric purchase was a hot mess! lol Welcome to quilting!

[@TheHawkeyeQuilter]

Love watching you both! So enjoyable, too, to see Anna catch the quilting bug! Blessings to you both.

[@cindypeace4166]

So enjoy Anna sharing her quilting journey.

[@marciaz5346]

I think Anna did a smashing job - towards the end she was just whipping her fabric through the Jenome. I am so enjoying learning how to quilt with the both of you. I have my jelly roll and cutting board at the ready. Thank you for sharing this lovely lesson.

[@nanabninnab9732]

Anna brilliant!!! Bravo great practice block. I’d watch my Gran for hours sewing her quilt tops and I could never figure out how she did it. Here at 67 and I’m learning from you 😉 ♥️

[@barbaramacleod51]

Love your relationship! I had a similar relationship with my mother in law, (sadly no longer with us) she taught me so much and we had so many giggles together too! Also a few too many cups of tea and cakes! 😂. It’s lovely to learn from someone you feel comfortable with. Well done Anna, you’re doing great. I feel your pain re fabric choices. It’s so hard till you make a couple of quilts and can visualise things better. Especially trying new blocks! Look forward to your progress and fun together.

[@TheBeezie1]

Love the anticipation in Anna's sewing. I think she is "hooked on quilting already".

[@scrappyquilter102]

Oh GLORIOUS DAY! - to be ALLOWED to dive into Kate's Stash!! Anna, - you Lucky Duck! How marvelous that we'll get to watch you too! You are very brave to be making your very first practice blocks in front of all us millions of quilters out here! Well done!

[@KimLomQld]

Awww, how lovely ! And I bet you you enjoyed a lovely tea and cakes together ❤️

[@wendydawe3874]

Well done Anna. Just remember that every little boo boo is a lesson learned. I am learning all the time! Whatever you do will be beautiful because you did it yourself.

[@sandrarichardson8441]

I think we've added a new quilter to the art. Good job Anna, you will love quiltmaking!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Thank you! I am enjoying it so much. Anna xx

[@jenniferkesler1832]

So lovely to see you two teaching and learning in such a kind joyful way. Anna, is such a lucky lady to have Kate's cheerful training.

[@anikom9833]

Anna, you are so fortunate to have the best teacher right next to you. Enjoy the process and the final result will be a lovely quilt that will comfort your soul and body 😊

[@donnarichey144]

I love the blocks, I am 79 and want to learn and make a quilt, thank you and I love the purple colors. Thank you both and Kate you are an amazing teacher and I love your soothing voice.

[@carlabythelake8162]

I learned the dumbell trick from Jordan quilts. Such a big help!!!! Plus, I can tell myself I'm not just sewing, I'm exercising 🤣

[@carolyndukich3723]

Anna might like the beautiful colors of Kansas Troubles fabric for her quilt. So many beautiful choices ! Enjoying this so much. You are so wonderful to teach her and pass on your love of quilting!

[@nancythomas5426]

Anna, you are such a Lucky Girl to have Kate willing to teach you how to pick colors, and the different ways of sewing all those peices together. I'm enjoying watching the process so much. Maybe on day my Granddaughters will want to sew one day, at this point it does not interest them, but one never can predict the Future. thanks for the lessons, Kate.

[@kathyb.8769]

anna is doing wonderfully!! It is so nice to see a new quilter being boen and the world of quilting through her eyes! You are a great teacher Kate!

[@hollywool3158]

Anna is adorable ... you did great Anna ... like everything that has a great end result, quilting takes some practice!!

[@jeannieferdinande5805]

I have a suction cup handle from Amazon…works great…enjoying this series…hard to remember this is the first not the last one, so everything you want doesn’t need to be in this quilt…a lesson it took me a lifetime to learn❤️from Minnesota 🌷🌷

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Ooh that's a good tip, thank you! Yes that is so true. Anna xx

[@lindaherrington6291]

How lovely to be able to share in Anna's quilting journey. Luckily she has a knowledgeable, patient teacher to guide her. and I daresay we are all going to pick up some useful hints and tips along the way. Making the quilt blocks is a great idea to refine a design choice! Thank you ladies for inviting us along, it has all the makings of a 'must see' series for new quilters.

[@renaesnell8052]

It is so great to have mentor like Kate.

[@kb9847]

oooo Anna I love the last block was beautiful! I'm kinda rooting for that one. haha

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Haha I know - that's the one I keep thinking about.... Anna xx

[@lifeofjoy9404]

I smile for hours after watching these two lovely women! 🥰🥰🥰

[@connimace258]

Love seeing Anna. Kate your a great teacher. You both show such patience. Thanks for sharing.

[@janicestaniforth6286]

Oh Anna how lucky you are to have such a wonderful mum-in-law mine has been dead umpteen years and she made my life a misery and I hated her then and still do now nothing I did was right. It is lovely to see you working together so happily I am envious of you having such a joyous teacher and love watching you together

[@lavenderlaceladylavenderla5420]

Donna Jordon (Jordon fabrics) uses a dumbbell Kate.

[@PracticallyCreative]

I happen to love the purples and lilacs, but I'm a bit older. I can't wait to see what Anna chooses for her final quilt and I think she's lucky to have a mother in love who is willing to teach and has patience. It's obvious that you have a great relationship. :) Loving this series.

[@PracticallyCreative]

OH! I meant to suggest that maybe Anna should consider doing the center of her quilt with the "standard" blocks, then using the alternate blocks as a border of sorts.

[@caroleemsall9495]

Lucky you Anna to be able to look through Kate's stash 😊

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I know! I can't wait. Anna xx

[@kathygeisler6324]

OMG I am a quilt dummy and afraid to start! No more! Like Anna has Kate at her side to guide her, I can watch and re-watch and have the courage to start something! I have my mother's stash of fabric after she passed as well as fabric i have been buying. Thank you ladies...♡

[@antoinettemccollum729]

Go Anna.....all of the frustration comes from choosing the darn colors... LOL no mater how many quilts you make, fabric selection is always the most intensive part of the puzzle. Have fun!

[@faithjohnson]

Hello Kate and Anna. What a lovely video of you both. Just love seeing you both sewing and quilting together. I will be waiting for the next video. Have a wonderful evening.❤️🧵🪡✂️😀

[@esthervonepp8908]

Very special moments..having that light bulb go on when seeing the possibilities!!

[@paulstave5246]

How blessed you are to have such a wonderful daughter-in -law! Anna is the sweetest young woman! What a treasure! It is wonderful to watch you both enjoy quilting and each other. Your son must be blown away with the relationship you and Anna have developed. It is truly a special one! Blessings to your family!💕

[@carolynrockafellow417]

Oh the Quilt blocks are very pretty and there are so many options to the layout. Excited to see this grow. Thanks for sharing.

[@shannonbrown7488]

So much fun watching Anna learn!!! Kate makes a great teacher!!! I hope we get to see Kates stash in the next video. The only thing more fun than your own stash (mine is huge!) is getting to see someone else's!!!

[@chrisberry9017]

Absolutely! X

[@lesleyrawlings4209]

Well done Anna, you’re picking it up wonderfully…looking forward to see the fabrics you choose…good mother in law teacher there xx

[@eileensecrest2185]

I don't understand why you both don't really like purple and lavenders, my favorites, but it really is fun to watch Anna learning to sew. I hope she enjoys it so much it becomes one of her favorite hobbies. Variations have a way of calling you back, again and again.

[@rosesbaker]

Such a sweet video... Kate, it's just lovely to see the joy you have when you work with Anna. The love is obvious 💕

[@elenabello138]

Anna, your first block was 1000 times better than my first one ! I'm sure you're going to enjoy this adventure in the quilting world with a great teacher and without quilting police . :) Elena, Italy

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Ahh you're very kind, thank you!! I am enjoying it very much. Anna xx

[@carolsparrow9331]

Lots and Lots of choices! I personally love the purple! Have fun Anna and Kate!

[@hwelch2]

Thank you both so much for this video.♥️😊 Honestly thought quilting so far beyond my skill set (in many areas) but watching this I am so intrigued and thrilled that my basic skills may be useful after all. Breaking down the tasks and following Anna follow you is like a Master Class but with patience and humour thrown in. I will continue to follow along and now my love of colour and beautiful prints may get put to some use...I blame you Kate for my Kaffe Fassett obsession. 😄😊 I must also tell you that while watching an online "live sale" of antiques (from the US) a few of us started chatting about your channel and Anna's quilting adventure...that Lime Green Couch stretches far and wide. Thank you. ♥️😊🇨🇦

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Oh that's so cool! Thank you! Anna xx

[@marilynwithers2571]

Loved watching Anna's journey into quilting. I was waiting for her to stick her tongue out, the look of concentration was brilliant. Good work Girls!!😃

[@megblair7482]

That little twist you did at the end gave a fantastic result. My mind is a little bit blown.

[@martinagraham3792]

It's so exciting to see Anna's progress. Can' wait to see what fabrics you pick for your first "real" quilt. You are doing great, and Kate is a wonderful mentor!

[@chrisanderson7929]

Oh Anna, so happy for you. And so proud you would attempt this in front of us KZbinrs! We are cheering from the sidelines. Love from Minnesota

[@tinkerbell9399]

Anna, how lucky you are to have such a talented teacher for your mum in law! You will learn so much, and your excitement shows. Looking forward to watching next videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@liseranger7753]

Enjoyed watching both of you, Anna and Kate, working on Anna's quilt project. A lesson on creativity!

[@britdowson8324]

So special for the two of you to be doing this together. What a gift for each of you!❤️

[@shannonlaprell2582]

Too bad neither of you like the purples! I absolutely ADORE them!!!

[@hello_from_nic]

It was pure joy watching you two. As it always is. I came to your channel not having the faintest connection with quilts (except for liking them) and now I am intrigued to watch. And to try my hand at EPP, seriously, my fabric arrived yesterday and the lime green sofa community is cheering me on to try an EPP horsie! Kate and Anna, you two are a marvelous duo. Lots of love and thank you for sharing the joy ☺️💕

[@meezerthyme]

Lovely … Anna couldn’t have a better teacher.💕

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

How fortunate you are to have a lovely daughter-in-law who is interested in carrying on the tradition. That is rare. And how sweet to see you two having fun together. Loved the ahhhh-HA! moment happened there toward the end when Anna saw the secondary design while making memories. Thanks for sharing! jw

[@TheCatlady63]

ooh so many decisions to be made. I liked that last combination too, very striking.

[@annehayward3506]

Great start to Anna’s quilting journey

[@Harphoney]

You are such a great teacher, I love how much Anna is enjoying learning how to quilt. Using our creativity is an amazing feeling.

[@maureenpool2127]

Such fun watching a new quilter being born! I look forward to seeing your fabric choices! ❤️

Anna is going to have a hard time choosing 🤭good luck 🍀

[@anitamorrison5426]

sorry girls I love those colours. Some of the various lay outs WELL DONE lv Anita cold Canada 🇨🇦

[@laurelrobbins8673]

I thought I liked the idea with the squares in the middle till I saw the last two - so many choices! Thank you, ladies!
