My mom is 83 years old and still quilts and they are beautiful. She creates her own designs and has won so many ribbons for her quilts. She has even had a quilt she created tour the world for remembrance of 9/11. She has always been a crafty person, painter, woodworker, gardener, ceramics etc. I'm very proud of her. I'm glad I was blessed with some of her talent.

[@carolynwatts2942]

Love our Kate, she is a wonderful lady. Love to watch her cooking dinner, baking, gardening, quilting, sewing and spinning. Wonderful children (in-laws included) just a great talented lady. I told a friend that I wish I could go to England and stay with Kate for awhile so I could learn so much for. Her. 73 years old and I don't believe that will happen, but can watch and dream about learning from her. Love you Kate, your cats and the Lime green sofa, can't forget the beautiful chairs . God bless you sweet Lady.❤🙏🌻🐈‍⬛🐈

“What’s the worst that can happen?” is always the best question to ask yourself.

[@dawnlunn2405]

Kate is a jewel! Enjoyed her videos since the beginning. Delightful lady with a beautiful family and very special life that she shares so willingly. Peaceful offerings.

[@smallfootprint2961]

What a wonderful surprise to find this lovely interview of Kate. We love her. I'll have to see what you have in your channel.

[@candacenagle505]

What a treat!!! I have been watching Kate for a very long time. Her way of being with her own creative process has really inspired and allowed me to give myself permission to just have fun and see what happens!

[@tateysnan]

As I love Kate I have to say she is a national treasure.. She has a famous buyer of one of her quilts.. So cool she is so modest I adore her..

[@tinatippin5705]

What a wonderful interview with "our" Kate. Her videos are inspirational and a place of gentleness. Now I will spend a bit of time getting to know your channel. Thank you.

[@pansybeson1277]

What a surprise I was delighted to come by accident this interview. Brighten my evening , such a lovely person with so much inspiration to offer us who listen and learn from her and family members. Just love them. From Canada.

[@barbarameehan113]

I love this interview with "our" Kate. Love her family, her kitties and Eileen the goose. Kate's talent is endless. Love her.❤

[@melindafisher1584]

Delightful interview with Kate of the Last Homely House East of the Sea, she is a wonderful person and one of my absolute favorites to follow. And we love Cat Rita even though she was jiggling the camera today. I'm encouraged by her inquisitive personality and that she advocates for such a variety of interests. Appeals to my "squirrel" nature!

[@lauralinash5341]

"The Quilt Marine" that's his motto, " It's only fabric, it's only thread" just go for it

[@barbolson8768]

Steven, thank you for recording this from your retreat so those of us who did not attend could see it. Kate is such a delightful lady. When I grow up, I want to be like Kate !

[@karinb57]

Aww, so good to see Kate in a different light. Although she's the same when ever I see her video's. But being questioned by you gives it a different angle. Well done.

[@donnatricamo4695]

I loved this interview, it really brought out our Kate. I must see a video everyday. She is a constant source of inspiration to me. I love to see the freedom she enjoys and her family closeness is wonderful.

[@ej5235]

Such an interesting interview, and always a delight to see cat Rita too 🐈

[@jennifertoliver9546]

Rita is so polite, no bum shots, but I miss Normas comfort, being conscious of her welcome, and rushing into frame when you said "hello u tube subscribers"

[@LG-dj9qr]

Really fun interview with Kate. I introduced my mother to Kate a year or two ago and though we live far from one another we always touch Sundays to let one another know Kate's video is up. I want to put a plug in for the wonderful and very sweet Erica Selman. She create lovely quilts and adorable teddy bears. And of course, Donna Jordan or Jordan Fabrics. Bravo to our terrific quilting community. Thanks again for the interview.

[@sandraponte3121]

Always lovely spending time with Kate and Rita!

[@heathertucker7056]

This interview was great! Kate is a “National Treasure” and anyone who doesn’t follow her on KZbin is missing out! There is always room on the lime green sofa!

[@Cdees57]

Kate is such a wonderfully creative person. I enjoyed this visit with her.

[@felicagriswold7276]

We love Kate and Rita so a shaky table is nothing. Lovely interview, Thanks!

[@cathyellis248]

I just love that interview with you Kate! How lovely! I wish I could have joined you in real time.....but rather late than never, as they say!

[@FutureCatNZ]

That was a great interview. I wish I'd made it to the call in time to see it live, but time zones were against me.

[@karleenpage5979]

I've been following Kate for several years now and she's always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the interview!

[@carolecaudill4962]

I loved this !! Thanks to all !❤️

[@jylromain6439]

I've never heard someone, who while describing themselves, so accurately described me. I love to learn new things but my family couldn't understand going from one thing to another. Great interview. Kate has a new fan.

[@countrygal854]

Love Kate!!! I love her first quilt just so beautiful. She’s an artist of many things. Thank you for such a wonderful interview with Kate.

[@myrnamcclure2791]

[@ruthanngreenway4243]

That was a wonderful time spent with Kate! I loved every second of it!

[@corinnemurphy7278]

Kate is absolutely lovely in every way possible, from her happy smiles that light up a room, to 😮her breath-taking mannerisms and her pure generosity of spirit.This perfection,is topped off 🎉🎉 with a captivating voice and accent .that carries us away. My mum used to make me laugh when she’d say something like, “What a voice! I could listen to her reading the phone ☎️ book all day, never mind a script.” Right again,Mum. 🤗😎💝 (You’d have loved to watch and listen to Kate, too, Mum. I know.❤) Thank you for bringing us this great interview, and my gratitude to you, Kate, for you yours and Ant’s wonderfully creative videos, too.😅 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦!

[@onelisashow]

I adore Kate, thank you for such a special interview!

[@feliciahazelton754]

Ah Kate. What a lucky thing to see you interviewed. Now more people will be sitting on the LGS. You always make my heart sing with your talent. Take care of yourself is #1 for your family and for us too. Look forward to seeing you every SUNDAY. kudos to cat Rita for the side fun too.

[@maureenpool2127]

Thank you for this interview with Kate! It popped up tonight as I was binding a little quilt. She’s lovely, and so inspiring!

[@franceselliott9747]

That was a nice interview with kate, really enjoyed that. Cant wait till the next one.

[@nadinesingleton3821]

This was such a wonderful chat with Kate. I enjoy her down to earth way of being.

[@123uschie]

What a wonderful interview ,Kate is such a treasure ! Congratulations to Jean for winning the prize 💗

[@wendywilson1736]

I have to agree with Kate. I am not someone who finishes my current project before I start another. I also have several projects going at any one time. I, too, am a "Jack of all trades, master of nothing", with all of interests I've chased. Kate is a warm, interesting person I just love watching her, and listening to, and sharing her family pets, friends, and crafts. Thank you for featuring Kate.

[@healgrowlovecommunity8397]

Late to the party on this but thoroughly enjoyed it. Kate's videos are so relaxing and inspiring. Thanks to all involved in this lovely interview 💟

[@MsFruitboot]

I love following Kates channel which I happened upon quite by chance. She’s my kind of artist! I love working on a number of projects at a time. Totally depends on the mood I’m in at the time. She’s absolutely delightful. Thank you for having her on. I’m now following your channel as well which I also came across by chance! 🎉

[@missyvoigt9021]

How wonderful to happen upon this great interview with dear Kate!! And to finally meet Eddy!😊 Kate is such an inspiration to us all! Thanks so much!

[@bernadineanderson2679]

Love Kate! Thank you.

[@Fenger53]

That was very interesting Steven! I also follow Kate after your recommendation so that you for a great suggestion, love following you both .

[@SharonBaxter-m9g]

Thanks for sharing this interview. I'm a self-taught quilter. After I finished my first quilt I told my husband that I wanted to throw it in the street and run over it with the truck. 😂😂😂 I made every mistake possible. But I kept at it until I made several beautiful quilt tops. My motto has always been "where there is a will there is a way".

[@michelletothill8551]

What a delightful interview

[@nicoeeek.7181]

I am absolutely in love with Kate's channel and everything about this amazing woman. Great interview, really enjoyed this so much!!

[@glenysperry3421]

Pottery gardening, looking after hens and a goose are a few more thinks Kate loves to do.

[@AdiarraS]

What a delightful interview! CONGRATS Jeanie! (I hope I spelled that correctly!)

[@patstrawhouse4005]

I was so exited to come across this interview with Kate-and cat Rita 😊. I love her videos. She is such a warm, talented, and amazing person! I I’ve now subscribed to your channel, and I look forward to both watching future videos and catching up on previous ones! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@allisonberringer4283]

So nice to see an interview with Kate!! Love you Kate!!!

[@gingerfeeley6849]

I to am enjoying dancing to my own tune! Kate is such an inspiration!

[@jodykelly7096]

Love Kate ❤️

[@jackiecaygle3878]

I really enjoyed this interview with Kate. I watch her videos and love them.

[@jennil7797]

Oh,unusually useful algorithm, thank you! It brought me to this interview a year late but, having followed her for four years now, I learned more about "what makes her tick" from this post. You know the old thing, who would you most like to spend a day with? Kate, every time for me!

[@IRISHLASS273]

Always wanted to make a quilt so 8,years ago I decided to try as the only way to guarantee failure is not trying. 6,years ago I saw an ad., by a guild looking for members. It was a long way from where I lived but I went. It was a horrible experience. Went back a second time that was worse on taking fabric out of my bag the woman next to me said put that thing away it's giving me a headache.Went home packed up the fabric and posted it to a charity in the UK. Kate, is encouraging and encouragement is all a person needs. I'm trying to start again but can't get motivated. I live in a dead zone where crafts are concerned.

[@heleneikerenkotter2950]

How positively rude of another human being to talk to a person that way. There are narrow minded so called crafty people that are pure snobs. My sister lost her husband 6 years ago. About two years ago her daughter me I have tried to get her mind off of her husbands death. She has never sewn anything and at the age of 78 , we got her started putting scraps of fabric together to make a whole piece of fabric. We had some of the craziest patterns, all kinds of colors . I cannot begin to tell you what this non creative non sewer started to put together. She had no sewing skill, no boundaries and the pieces of fabric she put together were turned into quilted purses . I am a sewer all my life, and I do not have the skills that she has in this department. She looks at fabric, puts pieces of all shapes and colors together, but with much thought . No inhibitions , because she had no formal training in any sewing skills. The purses are now being sold in gift shops . Her daughter does the quilting and making of the bag. Without her mom doing this creative sewing, there would be no crazy Frankenstein bags. So you ignore any snide snobbish remarks and you do your thing. Do not let people define your creativity. Who knows what creative gift you have that needs to be unleashed. You go girl. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@deliaflores6309]

Oh Janet I felt the same way about quilters and their rudeness. Keep watching Kate and do your own thing. Really there are no quilt police. Do what you enjoy and buy fabric that speaks to you. Watch you tube videos and get inspiration.. I love watching Kate and her free style of creativity.

[@katehenry2718]

Those of us with cats as our companions DO appreciate the influence of kitties jiggling the table or putting nose on screen, or covering the whole screen with fur. It makes us feel right at home. It is a good thing, so don't fret. )))

[@melissaandrewsscott6464]

❤Oh Kate , I have only just found you 2/2024; and I cannot thank you enough for having this channel it is the best of fun. I will keep watching every day! When my son comes hope from school, he will put me on your Patron area where I can support your wonderful work. Thank you so much for teaching me so many wonderful things! You are amazing!

[@theidiotquilter]

Melissa Kate will never see this comment- you need to post it on her channel not mine.

[@daleodberg6714]

That was so fun, thank you. 🌺

[@janegarnier5693]

Loved this ,thank you.

[@slim215]

This is the first time I’ve seen your KZbin show and I absolutely adore you. I love your free spirit, your I see color in everything! I think you’re my new best best friend❣️

[@theidiotquilter]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@scottydog6539]

I love color too. I painted my bedroom lime green. Not a Fluorescent lime. A pretty shade. Blue floor tiles. When I moved here four years ago, the bedroom was a deep medium blue. I hated it. I use my bedroom as a sewing studio. I enjoy the new color. Cheerful.

[@Tinacrafts2]

So delightful. I’m bummed I missed this live. I’m retired and would have liked to say “hi” to Kate. Such a dear, down-to-earth lady. We’ve so much in common, as well as our love of Arne &Carlos. I currently have 4 projects going on at once! 😮 Thanks for posting.

[@judymckinstry8130]

What a joy!

[@brendamerelyn]

Kate is wonderful to watch and listen too, always gentle.

[@UndertheNeedle282]

Great interview!

[@amypapenhausen8970]

Kate could auction her quilt for charity! ( the new one she's making that she said she doesn't need)

[@bettypitts-hu7rz]

I always enjoy Kate's videos! She inspires me to try new approaches to quilting and creating.

[@jnordfors]

Visiting from the lime green couch. So glad to see others enjoying our Kate.

[@susans2599]

Someone after my own heart. I look at every project in every medium as an experiment and challenge.

[@stormeliz7406]

What a fun interview. My favorite KZbin artist, Kate. She is like a friend!

[@vickyh7881]

I just subscribed. I stopped to watch this video because I love Kate and have watched her for a couple of years. I like the way you interviewed her. Now I’m going to go binge watch your tutorials. 😀

[@theidiotquilter]

Hi Vicky and welcome to my channel!

Great interview, Enjoyed it very much.

[@PinkSparkleyPeep]

❤❤❤Kate is my new favorite person. Thank you for the interview

[@barbarajordan7636]

I could’t have said it better. The whole interview brings so much of my feeling to light. Thank you. I love you channel.

[@marionbarber984]

What fun! Even though I just saw the program July 19. I love watching Kate's KZbin channel. And it is like visiting a friend Thank you Steve. Marion in Oregon.

[@sandythomas9622]

This was great! Thanks.

[@donnawoodford6641]

She talks like my friend from South Africa. Color and hand sewing... she's my kind of explorer. The flowers are beautiful, too. The quilt -wow.

[@brendapyefinch9015]

What a lovely chat. I love Kates attitude about starting new projects before others are finished. I too have several things to pick up when the mood strikes me.

[@susanmei9980]

I really enjoyed this. It was nice that you zoomed so some of the listeners could actually chat with Kate. It was nice to “meet” Conquering Mount Scrapmore, bc I see her commenting all the time on quilting channels, lol. 😆

[@susanmei9980]

BTW, I loved how Kate defended working on multiple projects at one time, bc I am drawn to do the same! I don’t always get them finished, but I sure still intend to! I was beginning to worry that I have ADHD or something! But maybe it’s just that I get sooooooo excited about all the new projects I dream up that I can’t wait to get started on the next one(s) !!!!! Thanks Kate!!! 💖

[@janicekauffman6489]

Wonderful interview!!

[@sandiemable]

I enjoyed this so much! I discovered Kate's channel two years ago, and I have been addicted ever since; I just love her bunches. xoxo's Sandie

[@marybeth4002]

Oh, my - what a nice surprise to find this video. I too am a subscriber of Kate's 'Last Homely House' KZbin video channel. Kate is a gem and I have to differ... Kate, you most certainly are a quilter and a beautiful one at that. More importantly, Kate is such an inspiration of living a life of grace and beauty. Kate finds beauty in everything and everyone. Thank you so much for this wonderful interview.

[@jillfogg2892]

I love her sense of color, it’s everything.

[@karenkaren9526]

That was totally awesome.
