Star Block Tutorial for a Project Linus Quilt and The FIRST LOOK at your Christmas Box 2023

Welcome to the FIRST of the Christmas Box Videos for 2023
I am so proud of all the work that Anna, Rita and I have done throughout the year to bring you this Box Full of Treats!
Over the next three evenings (7pm GMT) I will be showing you everything you can expect in The Last Homely House Christmas Boxes - so put on your notifications!
This video is all about the fabric I have found for your Box. There is a Fat Quarter Bundle of quilting weight Liberty Fabric in lovely seasonal colours. I made several things with my fabric, including this Wonky Star Quilt for Project Linus.
Next, I had my friends at Aurifil make a bespoke box of threads in toning colours. Rita designed the box to hold the Pink and Teal 12 weight threads which are so perfect for hand quilting or embroidery. (See if you can spot Eileen the Goose on the box!)
Tomorrow I will take you on a road trip to see the next item I made for your Box.
If you don't want to miss out, set an alarm for 7pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) when the Boxes go on sale. Check what time that is in your part of the world. And remember, there is FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!
If you do buy a box, please check your address really carefully - if your address is incorrect and your box gets lost, we won't be able to send you another one as there are a limited number!

Awe Kate🥰. I can’t express how much you inspire me. Today is one of those days where I felt alone and wasn’t sure what to do with my self until I watched this video. Now, I am headed to my sewing room to pick out fabric for a star quilt. I hope it turns out almost a beautiful as yours. Thank you so much for your company!!

[@kathysmith5411]

It's lively to feel part of an inspiring community. You not alone you have friends on this channel ❤

[@lifeofjoy9404]

Hi! Just think of hundreds of your virtual friends on the LGS trundling off to our fabric stashes to find fabric - you aren't as alone as you think, friend!❤

[@sickoftheshit]

I have felt alone too, and I do the same. Creating something beautiful is a great mood booster. ❤

[@karentzn]

Lovely to hear that you not feeling lonely now.

[@AltaEdwards]

Absolutely beautiful and the way you show how to do every project is so calm and relaxing what a wonderful gift your Mom gave you of quilting and now you bless the rest of the world a story of true inspiration.

[@jessicalighttaylor7310]

Good morning everyone on the LGS! Kate, you and your team are by far the most loving and caring on the internet. You are a blessing to us all! Thank you.

[@lopalew1]

Watching from Michigan. I’m making a Star quilt now. You have inspired me.

[@sovereigncreekfarmstead]

Aww, I love all of this so much! I've always ignored Christmas boxes because I presumed they were all red and green and glitter and Santa. Obviously I was soooo wrong. I'm in love with all that you do and share! Thank you, lovely lady. ❤

[@sharonvantroyen9686]

Once again, Kate, I adore the wonky star quilt you made! It is so pretty. Whoever receives one of your stars this Christmas will be very blessed indeed.

[@HildePerry-jx7nh]

Everything looks so beautiful that you made. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could afford it but I can't, so I'll just keep watching. Thank you, they save and be careful out there and happy showing.❤❤❤

[@pickledellies]

Goodness me, Kate. You spoil us with your offerings this week.

[@beth12svist]

I was thinking the same - my schedule is off this week because of nightshifts so I had only just finished the garden video and the notification for this one arrived! Just in time, because I'm having a knitting evening. 😊

[@stacysavageskiff]

You are truly an inspiration Miss Kate! I am so glad I found you on KZbin. Thank you for sharing your talents . Best wishes to you and your beautiful family…!

[@winterlark3986]

Those pot holders can be ladder stitched together to make a quilt-as-you-go quilt, which I’m currently making in a hexagon shape. Loved being here today. Your ideas are lovely.❤

[@pebblecritter]

Gorgeous! The pink and red Liberty fabric is just screaming at me - it's so lovely, so Liberty.... :) Like you, I love hand-quilting and hand-sewing pretty much anything, it's so zen! Thank you, as always for sharing - you always inspire me and put a smile on my face. xxx

[@bbymks5]

The recipient of your Project Linus quilt is going to love it!! Love the stocking!

[@andreajarrell8461]

Kate, you make the hand quilting look so easy! I could sit and watch for hours! Thank you! 😊

[@SurinderKaur-fe1fk]

[@maxieone7358]

I’m so happy you’re doing all these quilt videos!!

[@lisajahn6839]

Thank you all for making and sharing this lovely episode!😊

[@nienadavis6810]

Very nice quilt , the colors were so perfect and set very well coordinated.

[@robertacaruthers7568]

You do such lovely work, Kate. The children are lucky to be thought of so lovingly.

[@jenw1936]

Many thanks for following your passion Kate and for sharing and inspiring so many to embrace creativity 🎉🙏🏻💐

[@joanneferguson3784]

I saw a bit ago..wanted the comfort of making something with a lovely amount of time. Relaxed and beautiful..

[@suebrown3194]

Lovey quilt for Project Linus. I like to keep a second, simple construction scrap block on hand to piece between chain piecing other projects. I do this instead of using a thread bunny. I may only do one seam of the scrap project but eventually i have another whole block done. They are set aside until I have enough to use in a quilt of their own. There are going to be some very happy recipients of potholders and maybe a pincushion or two when they get their Christmas boxes!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

The next project Linus quilt in production is a ‘leaders and enders’ quilt! A bonus! Xxx

[@SusanBAnderson]

Ahhh! So beautiful. Love the corner details and I'll have to give that a try. Inspiring as always, Kate.

[@darlenederksen2182]

Love the stars and "boxes". Great way to soften the white and bring a medley of colours

[@padmarekhakurimeti5064]

Such a beautiful colour combination. Beautiful quilt Kate, you've inspired me to make one now.

[@stuckinstitches]

Kate you are so sweet-love this wonky star quilt! Colors are scrumptious! ❤

[@margaretmlydon6910]

Hi Kate, I just adore your wonky star quilt. The fabric is beautiful. 😊

[@julias.8236]

just made wonky stars not long ago paired wonkey stars, log cabins and animal panels (4 each) together in a 3 by 4 grid as a present for a colleague who is expecting a baby. The quilt is big enough to probably still be used by the child when it's 6 or 7. So yes, it's an adorable and easy pattern.

[@sandramyer7081]

I love your wonky star! It’s fun to make and I love listening to you- i love the fabrics too! Thanks,Kate! It’s a good treat and wanna see more! Love you! Anytime!

[@charlenerichardson2623]

I love this quilt. So pretty and the fabrics just make it stunning

[@sead705]

I needed your calm reassurance today Kate. You have such compassion and care for all of us. Just the way you look at us, and make things/piecing/quilting look so doable and easy. You get so much done and l aspire to be like you. I love that you care and are so down to earth. Thanks for the confidence building. I learn more and feel better every second I spend watching you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@tinastiner4329]

You always make a beautiful quilt and give with your heart ❤️. Thank you for all you do.

[@tinatippin5705]

Sweet quilt for a little one, Kate. I love this tradition of the Christmas Box. Even on film, I can see the love. Thank you.

[@hopeolejniczak4362]

I am so happy to have found you! You bring such calm and peace into me each time I watch you videos. Plus inspiration. I just love your curtains n the view! I’m also wanting to learn to hand stitch on my quilting projects. I have only been quilting for a year and you have inspired me to make my own squares and practice hand quilting on them. Do you have videos that show the basics of some hand stitching ideas? Thanks from WI
