Sunday Morning Chat - busy work while I wait.....

[@yolandaflower5749]

My husband asked what I was doing I said I'm visiting with my friend Kate in England. That's just how you make me feel like I have a friend in England. We have five grandchildren so I know the fun you're in for when this baby comes. God bless

[@Loriann3616]

Yolanda Flower I agree with you Yolanda . 😃😃

[@sarahj734]

I feel the same way . Like i known her forever. I love listening and learning with Kate. I have never made a quilt before but Kate. Is making me feel i want to make this Hectagon in those colors ..but wouldnt know how much of each color to get for a queen size

[@cateflorey4223]

And the same for me here, too!

[@heatherwatson7692]

I love that I happened upon this video at the start of your quilt for Agnes with all the hexagons!

[@AlwaysAlways2x]

The waiting.....oh the waiting...when your child is expecting their child....no one can quite prepare us for that moment in time. There truly is nothing quite like it! Wishes for a gentle loving arrival ....your daughters heart as you will see in her eyes when she holds that wee baby. I swear its as if your heart leaves your body and returns immensely bigger with more love than you ever thought possible. Grandma...what a glorious powerful joyous word! (I am Nana to my granddaughter.... it’s like music to my soul..an added melody to the word Mom that exists within our hearts). Love the chat! I really must give paper piecing a go. I’ve always meant to....haven’t since I was a child. Brilliant idea with the thingamajig machine there. Must find mine...stored somewhere. May.... I immediately think of what someone else here commented....April showers bring May flowers...what it must look like, that landscape just outside your door in May. I’ve preordered my calendar (thank you!) and a turq surprise ball..... who doesn’t love a little surprise now and again, especially as the days get darker....a pop of delight - just perfect! Hmmmm a Christmas Box? She says as her ears perk up? Hurriedly makes a note .....WATCH FOR KATE! I do anyways, I think we all do, except sometimes I save them for quiet moments to watch...feeds the soul & creative spirit. Will be more attentive and immediate when a notification pops up! 😉 Your Patreon is a lovely place. You are right, such kindness and gentleness about it. Getting to know more about one another and where we all are, and of course what you & family are up to. 💕 No video would be complete without “hello KZbin Friends” Norma - tail end and all! 🐾❤️ Wishing you well. To your daughter and SIL in this moment of anticipation and beauty...gentle loving peace..... your family as a whole - a celebration of Life!!! ❤️🦋 x Cj

What a lovely lovely comment. This is exactly how I feel about becoming a Grandma! Thank you xxxxxx I’m just going to read that again and glow! Xxxxx

Just what I needed on a Sunday afternoon.🤗 You channel is so peaceful and relaxing. I'm sure even in the rain, your place is beautiful!❤

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

it has a real beauty when everything is wet and decaying! it is all a matter of perspective! xxx

[@annebarnett1006]

I’m hand quilting a blanket for my Grand daughter which I started when she was born,,, she is now 8 😂but I started watching you earlier this year and you inspired me to complete it. So I’m sat here listening to you, I’m chatting to my screen and I’m on the green sofa with my cuppa sewing. So a big thank you from me

[@VictoriaKnits]

It’s clear why you’re so popular. So calming and interesting to listen to. ❤️❤️

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Victoria Knits thank you so much xxxxx

You are always fun to watch. I am a retired custom tailor and occasionally I want to listen to interesting things. I live in North Las Vegas. For 30 years I have had an interest in English tailoring. The original Duke of Windsor. Who wrote the Bible on Men's clothing. Listening to you is a view of English life. You are so nice to listen to Thank you Mary Hurd

[@stitchann]

I so love watching you "witter on" as you say. I it like having a nice chat with a friend. I was sitting here knitting dishcloths for our church bazaar while I watched. I was busy this morning preparing the veggies for our dinner. We are having a baked ham, with scalloped potatoes, carrots, green beans, coleslaw and baked acorn squash. It sounds like a lot but the beans needed to be cooked and my mom and I are the only two who like them. She will be celebrating her 90th birthday this week. I am so lucky to have her. Best wishes on your Grandchild's arrival. AIl or your subscribers will be awaiting the news.

Your kitty bottoms crack me up! Kate, I’m so happy to have found your channel. What a delight! Thank you for sharing your home, knowledge and skills with us. Looking forward to future videos and baby updates! Take care. 💕

[@dawnlund6660]

I should also add that my husband enjoys your videos as well. He is a HUGE Tolkien fan, so you had him at “The Last Homely House”.

[@lindawitherspoon446]

I just love the cats and how they show up on que. Your reaction to them is so sweet.so excited about your new forthcoming grandchild.

[@darlenecarman303]

I just love the kitties. As I was watching - and laughing as both cats joined you, my little rescue Rosie decided to sit on my lap. Loved the nice chat! Can't wait to hear that baby is here.

[@nancylitton390]

Always a pleasant morning ...coffee and Kate.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I totally understand about no feeling like cooking my meals and I just might experiment with your solution. Let's not call it being lazy because I no longer am a slave to what I used to think I should do. Hugs!

Oh, just wait! That baby will be the brightest ray of sunshine in your whole life! I was young and stupid when my own babies were tiny, (I had 8) and was too busy to realize what absolute miracles they were! What a bundle of yummy -ness! Blessings to your family!

[@Frenchieer]

I am just thrilled to see a new post! I spent most of the evening watching all the older ones! I just can’t get enough! So make more, make more soon. I know it takes time! My very best to you and your family!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

well uni have another one scheduled for tomorrow! xxx

[@Frenchieer]

The Last Homely House East of the Sea wonderful! I don’t mean to sound pushy or ungrateful but I get so much pleasure watching. Very best to you, Kate and kitties! Oh by the way, I live about 60 miles from Hercules candies!

[@tgaten]

I’ve only “discovered “ your channel a few months ago, and am being very disciplined about watching in order to-at least until I reach the pandemic era posts. Then perhaps I’ll watch episodes in season (it’s a little disconcerting to get into the holiday spirit six months early!) Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, and for being a little corner of calm in this crazy world.

[@tgaten]

I should also mention that my cat is a fan of your channel. She sits on my lap as I knit and watch. She pays attention to you, but really perks up when your feline roommates are on screen.

[@eugeniagallardo7098]

I enjoy everything you do. I learn from your very relaxing process. Your editing is wonderful. More than videos they are a kind of short films. The cats know... congrats for the upcoming baby!

[@sarahj734]

Just take the gifts and enjoy ..you give us so much by being able to listen and learn from you❤

[@motherhenn8850]

Oh Kate, I am waiting, too. My grandchild is 2 days overdue!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

We have to be patient - nature will take its course! xxxxx love to you and to me! xxxx

[@AlwaysAlways2x]

Mother Henn ... how wonderful! Oh Mother Nature does have a way of making us wait sometimes doesn’t she? Wishing you and your family a gentle loving arrival when your precious grandchild decides its time to see what’s up out here! 🥰

[@motherhenn8850]

My daughter-in-law will be induced tomorrow. I can't wait to meet this precious baby!

[@sharonvantroyen9686]

So lovely to look back and know that Agnes is on the way, and Norma is with you, enjoying her cuddles! I am thinking that your heroes are the beginning of Agnes’s gorgeous quilt, and the inspiration for my own granddaughter, Ella’s, quilt. Thank you, Kate. Hugs from Canada!

[@sharonvantroyen9686]

I meant to type ‘hexies’ not heroes. I must learn to read-read my comments before posting. Lol!

[@bensgrammy1]

Such a nice chat! I find that we have so much in common - I love making hexie quilts - love hand stitching - I collect interesting things - love to make a large number of the same thing at one time - we are waiting for a new grandbaby (though not nearly as soon as yours) and many more similarities. I've watched about all of your back videos and enjoy every single one of them. Looking forward to more sewing for baby. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@Loriann3616]

Thanks for the updates and clarifications - very helpful. As to the calendar, my first thought, not too creative, April showers bring May flowers. I do love my calendar! I am continuing to send good thoughts and prayers your way for all as you await the arrival of The Child. I am plotting my next juice. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

The Child! I'm looking forward to learning her name! xxx

How delightful to see kitties and to hear your tidbits of news. Have missed this enormously. So happy that grandbaby is almost here. Lucky you!

Thanks for allowing me to wait with you for this blessed grandchild!

[@busybeaver793]

Hello Kate ~ I just pre-ordered my calendar. We are in the throws of Autumn here in Canada. I am at the park getting my trailer ready for winter. I have watched more Netflix than closing up though. LOL The park cat Midnight has been keeping me company. He is quite good company for me while I am here. Although I think the only reason he comes around is that my trailer is cozy! Take care and I look forward to baby announcement when it happens.

[@gittelange8754]

Dear Kate. Have been watching you quite a while but never subscribed yet because my english is not that good. But l am improving with your help. I found your channe because of your quilting videos. Laughed a lot about " the quilting police". I like your friendly art of talking to the cats and about what's "around you". Love to see new sewing videos . Good luck for your daughter, the baby inside and you .

Hi Kate! I love your channel. For the month of May on your calendar I would love to see it with lots of green as the grass begins to grow as well as some Lilly of the valley. I hope your grandbaby arrives very soon. I spent the day yesterday with my granddaughter who just turned 2. What a delight!

Waiting for a grandchild.......must be a bit of paradise, Blessings

[@Canningforfun]

Love the chat today. The cats are always welcome to come and say hello. Hav e a great day.

[@debracampbell5151]

Yeah! When I found your channel I binge watched your videos. I probably watched two years worth in about 2 months. now I feel like I'm on a diet since I only get to see you once a week. I love hearing your chats! I told my husband I was watching/listening to my favorite English lady. I agree with others, you make me feel like I have a friend in you. I save your videos to watch when I know I won't be interrupted by the husband or dogs. I just ordered your book bundle and really look forward to reading them. People are so generous with you because you are so kind and make us feel so good. Sometimes that's hard to come by in our world. Good bye and happy waiting from California.

[@jokewijngaarden5588]

What exciting Kate, your first grandchild. I am sure you will be a wonderful grandmother for the little one. Teaching and playing, telling stories and learn everything about the garden and the animals. What a bliss.

[@nancisailormoy9135]

Today is my Moms birthday ( in heaven) so this is a lovely time of year for a birthday. I can’t wait to see the new little one. I would love to see random photos of your home, farm, animals, the town in a calender. Your area of the world is so beautiful ❤️

It’s cold and snowy here this winter morning. I’m enjoying listening to you this morning and stitching along with you. Keep Smiling

[@sadler451]

Seeing your work in progress on a recent video post has inspired me to make a hexagon quilt myself. I have a lot of waiting time while my husband is in medical appointments so this seems like the perfect project. Thanks for inspiring me to fill my time with busy work instead of just scrolling on the phone. I listen to your videos while I make the hexies.

[@toodie535]

can hardly WAIT for my calendar and Liberty lavender sachet, you emailed they've been posted...I envision them in a car, a truck, an airplane, at the airport ramp, being conveyed into the hold of another plane, landing (hear the tires screech on the tarmac) being loaded into a big semi double-truck-and-trailer, coming up the coast highway to my home. I will plant loads of native flowers as a welcome.

[@jenmckitrick]

well, you must have cats, poultry, and quilting on your calendar. What else? Spinning? Paper crafting? Photos of the house and grounds? All sounds great! I hope to get one.

[@audreyjoyner535]

I am enjoy your video and you are a very good teacher special doing the hexies. And I love the quilts you have made. First time learning how to put the binding on the quilt. Thanks,

[@narellefialkowski2270]

Hi Kate, I enjoyed your informal little chat.I hope your wait will not be too long for the birth of your grandchild, and everything goes smoothly with the delivery. Watching your video's are a highlight of my week each and everyone of them. I would love to see a photo of your beautiful old house included in the calendar, or perhaps one of your much loved quilts. Much love from Australia.

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

LOL I’m glad to finally hear you say you “can’t be bothered” about doing something (cooking). I feel exactly the same way, but I feel lazy. Instead, I’ll try to just thrive on what I love and accept that I just can’t be bothered about some boring things! Your varied and steady stream of creativity is very inspiring! ❤😊

[@elizabeththomson2579]

Love your chats Kate, I have had the joy of welcoming 2 Grand children into the world this year. One of them lives with us and it is just delightful to share in those precious moments and so heart warming to see our two sons in the role of proud dads. We have a granddaughter and a grandson and our lives have been enriched so much.

Im going to go back to one of your older videos to remind me of how you sew those "hexies" together. I've done all my homework; I am already a patron, I've been subscribed for a while, hit the bell, and liked this video chat. I save your weekly videos for when Im eating my supper, its like eating with a friend. Just received a pkg from you with the little books I did not have yet and the ceramic buttons. Lovely. OHH, a surprise ball, what a tease you are!

In May - at least here in Utah at higher altitude - it is too early to do much gardening outdoors, but I think all of us can't wait till it's safe to put out plants and lawn chairs and such after a long winter. So it might be nice to see your Spring gardening photos ... or Eileen ... or the chickens. They make me smile!

Hi Miss Kate. I loved the chat today. I know how anxious you must be waiting for your baby, I believe many are anxious for the arrival too. I absolutely loved Norma and Cat Rita’s entrance on cue.

Waiting for babies takes long! I remember waiting or my niece and nephew. Loved your Sunday witter. May is my birthday month, and I used to get Lilac blooms from my neighbors garden every year. These days the Lilacs have long bloomed when its my birthday, but they’re forever associated with may for me.

[@ameliagill7700]

I watch 1 channel on which the young lady begins every time with the request that we like & subscribe. Honestly, I skit the 1st 2 minutes always. I definitely like your more gentle approach much, much better!

[@pamelacrow9783]

Hi Kate. I love sewing hexagons. I’m currently sewing 1 and a quarter inch hexies for a bed quilt using up scraps. I’m also sewing 3/4 inch hexies from smaller scraps for a bag and a cushion. Finally I’ve started doing half inch hexies using up even smaller scraps but not yet decided what to do with those. That size is my limit. Eyes and fingers can’t cope with anything smaller. I’m trying to get as much as possible out of my scraps. Xx

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Pamela Crow half inch - wow! I won’t go smaller than one inch! That’s dedication to using scraps! Xxxx

[@brendaperry734]

Hi Kate, You will love being a grandma! It is a love so special, and worth the wait. I will definitely plan to order one of your calendars when they are available. Your chats are so heartwarming....just love them.

Hi Kate. These chat videos are among my favorite of yours. Regarding your question about the May page on the calendar--when I think of May, I right away think of flowers. I'm very excited for you about the impending arrival of your first grandchild, hoping she won't arrive too much later than expected.

[@beckyann8502]

Well, absolutely Miss Kate you have a splendid idea as to what to do with my scraps. I make chicken saddles and have many scraps that would work with the hexagon pattern. I will watch your video about paper piecing to see how you assemble them. An awesome winter project. I so miss my cat when I see yours 😢 but am planning next week to visit a rescue shelter by my daughter's to see if I can get one. All my animals have been rescued and they have all been amazing!! Best wishes to your daughter and the baby.

I so enjoy all your videos and I think I will start the hexagons I have a Sizzix machine that is a wonderful helper to sewers and quilters..Congratulations on your upcoming grandbaby! I have three and although they live in three differnt states this technology helps me to be near them . I love your phrase that "´you cant be bothered with cooking´ Ja Ja I am trying to find the proper words to translate them into spanish because that is the exact way I feel when I am working in my tiny sewing cum craft room. Since I have been a widow for 24 years after retirement I inmerse myself in quilting ,sewing, scapbooking and carin with my dog. No time to cook! In Puerto Rico where I live it gets so hot sometimes and its the perfect excuse to not cook Happy Sunday!

[@mollysmith6055]

Loved the title of this one...it brings to mind the two times I've waited for news of a grandbaby. As the grandmother I know how the worry sets in along with so many other lovely emotions. I love seeing the cats. Your Sizzix is very pretty! Mine is plain black with a bit of pink.

Lets hope you don't have to wait too long for your grandchild's arrival xx I understand the cooking thing, I'm also on my own now and really can't be bothered a lot of the time. I make my own Winter soup and that keeps me going for a while. But we are in Spring now and the day's are warming up so your smoothie could be the answer. Hugs Avril xx 💖

[@suedale1865]

Kate I’m just the same some days of not wanting to cook & make a smoothie! Living in east anglia we had the wettest day giving over 2” of rain falling between 8am & 3 pm ( my friend has inherited a Stevenson weather gauge ) & gives an update on our early morning dog walk . I had a meet up in Norwich with a group knitting 🧶 ladies with the lovely Ellie from craft house magic what a great way to spend a wet Sunday

[@teresamcbrayer2549]

Congratulations on your upcoming Grandbaby. I don't know how you can stand waiting at home. I was always right there. But still waiting is Hard. They are such a Blessing. Your Rita reminds me of a cat we had for 16yrs..I always enjoy watching you. Can't wait to see your next video when the baby is here

[@candacenagle505]

I truly enjoy all your videos. Today's Sunday chat is a definite treat. It's as though you've popped in to have a cuppa and a lovely visit/ without a long flight. So today, you have traveled to the US specifically the Eastern shore of Maryland. Congratulations with your impending grandchild!!

[@gsr7772]

Love your video - I know what you mean about kitties always having to be front and centre. I was trying to cut out a quilt yesterday with one of my cats right under my nose!!! But you have to love them, right? Congratulations on your first grandchild - I am still patiently waiting! 😄

[@judithjunop]

Dear Kate as I watched this and you chat about not being bothered, I'm reminded of the female British comedian who did the skit with Tony Blair all about being bothered. "look at my fave. Do I look bothered?" I too can't be bothered to cook. The millenials say, " I can't be asked I just can't!'. Love from Canada. Judith

[@sandofthesun]

Hello Kate, It’s lovely to have a surprise chat today. My new grand baby Lincoln is 7 weeks old and such a joy! You will not believe how much love you will have from a grand baby. Can’t wait to meet the new baby! I’m as excited as you are. If you knew someone who could take a drone shot above your house, it would be wonderful to you’re whole cottage from above for the May calendar. I also wanted to give a suggestion while you wait for baby if I may. I took naps in the afternoon while I was waiting for baby because every baby I’ve ever known to be born, decided to come in the wee hours of the night. And you may be sitting around the hospital for a long time waiting. I also hung a complete outfit ready to put on when the time came and packed a bag of snacks. And had it ready to go at a moments notice.I was very grateful I did. Just a suggestion. Sending love and joy your way for you and family.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

sandofthesun the nap is a brilliant idea, I have the bags and snacks in the boot of the car, and a list of the last minute things I’ll need by the back door, but the nap is genius! Thank you xxx

I make a mix of spinach, peanut butter, hemp powder and frozen banana chunks. Then use coconut water and blend. Almost the same as you.
