The Last Homely House, The Queen and The Tate. What a great COLLABORATION!

[@charlottechambers1620]

Love this program today! Not only did I learn something but it was so much fun!! You and Anna are great together. The bunting is just wonderful and fit for any queen especially THE QUEEN!! Thank you both and all your family for making these lovely videos for us!! Best line Kate says to Anna, “It’s not my first time.” Perfect!! I laughed out loud!! I was born in 1942, makes me 82, I love your attitude about everything you do!! I love to sew and knit, it’s a big part of who I am! Right now in the US things are uncertain and watching your videos especially the Advent series are very uplifting!! Thanks again for all you do!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰🥰🥰❤️💜🧡💛💚🤎💙MERRY CHRISTMAS‼️

Hello Kate, I was watching a video today from February in 2020 and you were wondering why you had a spike in your numbers and how people were possibly finding you so I thought I would share your story. Quoting has never been on my radar. However I stayed and minded somebody’s cats in Newcastle recently, that’s Newcastle in Australia, and she had the most magnificent quilt on the bed. This was a house sitting job so I didn’t actually know the people at all but I reached out to them to find out about the quilt. I counted the squares which were about 10,000 1inch squares that I could see were handsewn. Long story short the woman’s mother had made it and a few weeks later I got a note from the door to to say by the way they had been put together by English paper piecing. That’s how I found you. I am loving your videos and learning so much.

[@dianescardace3687]

Kate, I had to chuckle at your reference to the Hobbit when Anna came to sit down. What a great honor for you to be asked to make something from your hands and heart to commemorate the Queen's jubilee celebration.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

she is not that much taller than me but if we sit on the wrong height chairs it can look very odd! ha ha!

[@donnarossignol5695]

Kate what did you use to string the bunting together ? Thank you

[@victoriamyatt1709]

​@@donnarossignol5695 you can use a cotton canvas tape or twill tape (don't think that how its spelt sorry) for inside or a gross grain ribbon for outside.

[@skeenasiren3796]

The caraway seed reference made me laugh. A favourite quip by my late mother you might enjoy: I had just moved to mom’s city and making dinner and working my way around her kitchen. Me: “ hey mom, this basil looks a little tired. How old is it?” Mom: “old enough to vote!”

[@priscillacummings4780]

If only the Queen could see some of your pieces!!! Congrats on being noticed by the Tate ! What an honor!!

[@77sun222]

Hi Kate and Anna What a great idea to make bunting inspired by an artwork😍Hope you've started a trend. They can pop up everywhere and people could guess the painting and artist.😵 I would call it BUNTING BOMBING👏👏

[@kimhannah1632]

That is quite an honor for you to be asked to make that. You totally deserve this honor and I know it will be just beautiful! Looking forward to seeing your finished project.

[@cathleendecina2270]

What an honor to have made bunting for the Queen! 💕

[@sandramyer7081]

Azalea Garden is so great Art-❤- you are showing this Art from 1956- fun! Lots of fabric😂❤️

[@conniehusband1365]

I belly laughed when you told us about how old your seed was! Makes me wonder how many of us have a similar stash. Loved your bunting adventure....thankyou!'

[@Thespottedswan]

Kate, What an honor to have your talents recognized ! You should be beaming with pride! You're such a talented woman!

[@gailpost173]

The Queen would be more than happy to celebrate with this beautiful bunting Kate. Absolutely stunning x

[@melodyn2music]

Love love the bunting. You have inspired me to make one for my sewing room.

[@maude5160]

Well done Kate, and Anna. The bunting does look great and am sure Patrick would approve. So well done girls 👍 also loved the sweet Williams on your kitchen table, almost matched Angnes quilt. The jubilee was great and what an honour to a small part in it via the bunting ❤️

[@mmbrittingham]

What an honor! Congratulations on being asked to participate. I love the Tate, and I think your idea is wonderful.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

the first thing i thought of when seeing the artwork - they are the wonderful colors of The Queens beautiful suits she always wears - always solid and bright lovely colors Kate this is wonderful and such an Honor - congratulations!!!!! xx

[@connieferrell4432]

As the first grandchild on my mother’s side, I inherited a lot of her stuff. I have a million tea cups and saucers. I love them all. I’m thinking displaying them like you have yours, over the sink. Always grateful for your time

[@debyiced02]

Glad I was not the only one with tea cups with no home. I have shoe boxes filled with them. Thrift finds!

[@marybeth4002]

I was touched when Anna and John's fabric from their wedding quilt that you made for them - was selected for the bunting. You and Anna working together is a true gift and making lovely memories. Thank you for the inspiration - I've always loved bunting as it makes one feel happy. Looks like something I can tackle. What an honor to be asked to participate in the Jubilee. You are a gem!

[@karlajensen1041]

I'm sooo excited Kate.! I caught you LIVE!! I turned 70 on June 1st, graduated high school in 1970, the QUEEN'S 70th Jubilee and you today 😁. I'm a happy lady. You're great impirer. Thanx! kj

[@cherylcopeland3418]

♥️

[@maureenkearns5376]

Like so many others in the United States I watch all of the queens jubilee and enjoyed it so much. I love the bunting that you made and I especially love your thought process. THEN I get to your kitchen and I’m in love with it. It’s so artistic, so quirky, so colorful, so charming. I want it and I love it!! 💕. I’ve spent the past hour sending your videos off to my quilting friends from church. You make me smile😊

[@Cdees57]

Fantastic honor to be asked to make a bunting like that. It's awesome too as your creations usually are. God bless you Kate and God bless Queen Elizabeth II.

[@paularodery8074]

I adore your “homely” kitchen! ❤ The bunting was lovely, such an honor for you AND another tribute to your creativity and the beautiful work you do. Well done to you and Anna.

[@BlessingsfromNorthIdaho]

“I can’t do five of something when fifty would be better…” Haha, I love it! I’ve watched a bit off the tv coverage on the 70 th anniversary of the Queen’s reign and quite enjoyed the program. Your Queen is quite remarkable. Congratulations from Idaho 👋🏻. Blessings, TeresaSue

[@colettebouvier9201]

Congratulations! What an honour, being asked to make a bunting for the Queen.

[@MariaM-yn9tl]

🥰💕💃🏻🎉Happy Jubilee Kate & Anna thanks for the inspiration. I can’t wait to make some bunting for my studio what a great idea. I might also add my collection of pins to the bunting. Great for every holiday. I definitely have slit of stash! 💃🏻👍

[@veronicastephens8501]

Oh Kate what a beautiful bunting for the Queen! My word how I laughed at the "acute angle, what's the point and I tell you if you're doing it wrong" what a joy to watch you and Anna chuckle at the 25 year old caraway seeds. Thank you for sharing

[@nancyzimmerman1982]

What a wonderful honor! ❤️❤️.

[@christinewalter1005]

What a lovely idea! Love the colours too. Hope the Queen is coming next week for a tea or two and can see this nice bunting 🥳🤣😂🤣🥳‼️

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I'll put the kettle on - but I'm not holding my breath!! ha ha! xxx

[@julieestrada591]

Love! Love! Love! Absolutely beautiful and the Queen will love it too! Thank you for brightening up our day 🌝

[@fmitchell270]

Such an honour to be included in this project! The bunting is beautiful!

[@ladyliberty417]

So exciting about the Tate, love seeing you and Anna working together with all the fabrics❣️Artists at work🥰 The bunting is awesome- everyone will love it, I do💕💐

[@jofarley7294]

You must be very thrilled to be making something to celebrate the Queens 70 years on the throne. Looking at the quilt on the design board, now that's a work of art. I think it's just stunning. Lucky granddaughter Agnes.

[@mamivonfluffy32]

Kate, I can only silently admire your creativity.

[@MyDaisy66]

Tate Britain is my favourite Gallery. But the one I visit mostly is The National Gallery. It’s quite close to my childhood family home so I love going there. How wonderful for you Kate. You are quite the artist 💖

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I love the National too - and The British Museum - and the V&A - so many amazing collections gathered together in the City - I so rarely visit, but these are all places I try and see when I do xxx

[@hildeshawperry5537]

That was beautiful I love it I have to make something like that for me for my room or something where were my curtains are enjoyed the this you weekend enjoy your week stay safe be careful out there and enjoy life and have fun lots of love and hugs to you and your family thank you for sharing your crafting with us💜💜🙏🙏🤠🤠

[@patriciamillar5496]

Wow! That is quite an honor and you deserve the recognition. Congratulations.

[@joycemcbride2458]

Enjoyed it, Kate. Had to give a big smile when I saw the bulletin board with no green showing. Caraway seeds that have lasted more than 25 years! My sister in law loves caraway seeds and hers might have lasted a month if she was careful not to overdue. I am pretty sure that plant by your sewing machine is called a Prayer Plant as its leaves close up and look like a set of prayerful hands 🙏. You and Anna make a good team. Thank you Ladies. It was fun.

[@thecheshirecrafter4522]

"I was invited by The Tate Gallery". Whoop, whoop! Hope you had a fabulous Platinum Jubilee weekend.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

it was such a pleasant surprise! I really enjoyed it! xxx

[@maryrichardson8790]

It's always exciting to see there's a new video from Kate!!! 👌💕 Thank youl for sharing your creativity with all of us Kate in such a way as you do. Your friendliness, warm, humour, and patience, make us feel oh so welcome to be part of your magical world of colour and fun! We love you!!! 🏠🌲💕🌏

[@jakeg1421]

Congratulations Kate, it’s so satisfying making bunting for friends and loved ones, getting the shape just right takes a few goes and then chain piecing all the wonderfull triangular scrapes together and 💥 you’ve created a lasting memory! Thank you so much for your content, I discovered you through KZbin when I asked how to do English Paper Piecing about two year ago! 🙏💫🌻💐

[@margaretdooley-duncan6562]

Kate and Anna 😀 I really enjoyed the bunting. The Queens Jubilee turned out great. God Save the Queen. I may live in the USA but I wish that I could live in England.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Catching notice of the movers and shakers at the Tate is pretty awesome, (but not at all surprising to us here on the LGS). I'm thrilled for you. I think the bunting was a splendid idea, and it turned out beautifully! You and Anna are a great team!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

this amazed me too - how amazing that they didn't ask some London Based Youth - but this Grandma from the North of England! so good! xxx

[@ericallerton809]

Awesome ,Kate,,,, Love it!!! Elaine🏡🏡🏡

[@gloriatraturyk6625]

Oh Kate, your bunting is lovely! What a beautiful, colorful tribute to the Queen! Congratulations on your commission from the Tate. No one could be more deserving. You are truly a creative and kind soul!

[@lynrobinson1052]

Hi Kate. I love watching your videos. You are such a lovely lady, and you're so down to earth. My stress levels have gone down since I started watching your channel a few weeks ago. I'm feeling so much better. Thank you. I'm like you, a jack of all trades, in craft. I love patchwork. I've made numerous quilts, but I've got to route out my one I started years ago. I love to paint, draw, sew, knit, try my hand at anything really. All my crafts, are not finished. I start one, then my brain is in action thinking of the next project.....even at bedtime. Keep up the wonderful videos, Kate. Love your pussycats, and Eileen and your hens too. Miss Prudence and Norma. Love you lots. Lyn. Xxxxx

[@EileenR11]

I loved the bunting, and what an honour to collaborate with the Tate. It's definitely given me some ideas for a future art-inspired project. Thank you Kate.

[@yankeesny80]

I love your bunting. Thank you for this wonderful video.

[@gerryfix1009]

Very nice video! Exciting time for the Queen and the United Kingdom, and the World! Peace!🌎🌻🌻🌙🌙

[@bgummeson]

Congrats on the invitation from the Tate! I love the inspiration you chose, and the final product is perfection. 👑🔻🔽🔻🔽🔻🎉

[@macsmiffy2197]

I wish I’d seen this masterclass before I made bunting for my granddaughters bedrooms. It seems to me that artists have been forgotten in the Jubilee Pageant. Last time I was at Tate Britain, I met David Hockney setting up his exhibition, so you’re in very good company. What an honour. Congratulations 🎉

[@susancaudill9109]

How fun is that! Blessings from Oregon to Kate, Anna and the Queen.

[@lorrainehartman1506]

That is such a great honor. Your bunting is very pretty. Congratulations!

[@wandak1934]

Congratulations on your being contacted about your quilt. Thank you for sharing all your quilting. Your so sweet and interesting to listen to. I live in Alabama in the United States. I love your accent.

[@LornaD_CottageNecessities]

I loved this video Kate! Your happiness in the creative process shines through. Buntings are so festive and fun. XO

[@jillychandler]

Love the colour of your walls in your kitchen Kate. Bunting looks great, and can be used again, and again for any occasion to jolly everyone up! Hope to see pictures of your lovely bunting up at the Tate. xxx

[@marilynpruett4973]

Platinum stars to you both. Nicest hunting of all. 😁🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻

[@teresaroberts7376]

What a lovely honor, Kate. They couldn't have chosen a more deserving and creative person. So many fun puns/jokes: acute triangle, what's the point? It is for the Queen's 70th, so more is better. I learned a couple of cool tricks while you were making the bunting, so thank you for that too. 💜

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

thank you so much! I love making these videos - and it is wonderful that you and so many people appreciate my little jokes! ha ha! thank you xxx

[@margaretbedwell3211]

What an honor to be asked to make something to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. She will be very proud of this bunting you have made. Thank you for showing the decisions behind making this and the tips on sewing and assembling it too. Wouldn't this be a neat idea to make a nice one for family birthdays perhaps from scraps used in making family clothes. Have a Blessed day.

[@tessmoffatt1534]

A friend suggested I watch an episode. Loved the bunting session. What a special honour.

[@katehenry2718]

This is the ONLY Utube where I love the music. It adds. It does not distract or annoy. It is calm and beautiful....just like Kate and Anna. )))

[@paularodery8074]

I agree, I really do enjoy the music as well.

[@carolynrockafellow417]

I love the Queen's bunting..beautiful colors.

[@myownlittlehouse471]

I was just watching one of your old clean-out-the-drawers videos, and you were mentioning bunting, and I thought, "I wonder if Kate ever made a video showing us exactly how to make bunting?" I've always wanted to make some, such a British thing :) And lo-and-behold ... here you are this very day, making bunting! I'll enjoy this very much. You have got me sewing recently, and I'm enjoying it so very much.

[@anndotsey1910]

I am going to add to my stash on the off chance that I might be invited by the Metropolitan Museum to make bunting for their next big gala celebration. Congratulations, Kate, and well done to both of you and Anna.I have been glued to the internet watching the Jubilee Celebration every day this week. Just love it!!

[@sandramyer7081]

Hi dear friend, Kate! This is late but I found it and those items were done! So I’m listening to your suggestions and other/ Thank you! Sandra Myer

[@sumar207]

The beautiful bunting and your colorful home are a feast for the eyes!

[@karentoynton8948]

Kate and Anna lovely choices. My word Kate what a lot of left over bits. Shows how much you love sewing, it is so addictive isn’t it hehe. It’s such a shame when we make things , and there is always bits we can’t use for the garment. Never mind for such things as your doing it enables us to use a few bits up. You look like you were having fun, and I am sure all will be very pleased with the finished item. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@suedale1865]

Stephen Fry commented we are mostly all ELIZABETHANS & I agree for 70 yrs of my 75 yrs she has been my Queen I felt proud & emotional to watch the platinum celebrations well done GREAT BRITAIN 🇬🇧 & the Commonwealth for giving her a celebration worthy of her lifetime achievement 70 great years

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I like being an Elizabethan - and the concert was great - Stephen Fry being a highlight for me! xxx

[@suebrown3194]

What an honor to be asked to participate this way! And now all the artists who designed the fabrics you used are participating along with you. 😁

[@juliemix3373]

Kate and Anna, this was very fun to watch. I love the inspiration painting and your interpretation of it. Bunting is a jolly thing to do for the Jubilee. Cheers

[@joanwhitehead1457]

Dear Kate. Can’t sleep so I watch your videos. I am relieved that I am not alone in that I also flit between projects. I have a hexi full size quilt which has been on the go for 40 years or more. I started hand quilting but it’s a big deal that’s been shelved. Other things come up but I am now inspired to get going again. Thanks for your wonderful ideas. Joan from Northants

[@lkozik7958]

Lovely project, Kate and Anna. Another idea is using folded bias tape. Instead of turning down the top edge, you can sew the edge inside the folded bias tape. It gives the bunting a little bit more strength.

[@waynemoore1708]

Hello Kate it's always a joy to see your post pop up . Watching from Australia Love your enthusiasm for your craft and crafting and all done in a calming and relaxed manor and easy to follow. Enjoy your week.🇦🇺🐨🦘

[@jonnacrutchfield1112]

I love the bunting. I am going to make a template and starting cutting few triangles whenever I am cutting any type of fabric. Then I can use it as another "I want to sew but not think" project, like my crumb quilting. Someday I will have a great length of beautiful bunting like yours!

[@margaretbedwell3211]

I am neither an artist or sewer but I love the idea that Kate made two sided bunting. It not only looks great from both sides, it also would be less flimsy and hang better. She is so creative and knowledgeable. Good luck with your project.

[@patstutzman7506]

Great idea. While sewing any project cut a triangle , I have way too many crumb blocks, a new idea!

[@jillfoster6369]

Loved it Kate. I make bunting to go all round our garden. I just love it in the garden anytime. Hope you and your family had a lovely Jubilee weekend. ❤

[@christinesellar3866]

HiKate, it’s lovely to see you as usual. What an honour! I love the bunting, it is so useful to have a large stash of fabric . I’ve just watched the Jubilee concert. Lovely! Cheers from Melbourne.

[@maddtt1]

Oh Kate, what a beautiful bunting! 💓

[@revrou2911]

Beautiful as always, Kate. The simplicity of the shape and all those wonderful fabrics do compliment the painting and elevate everything for the celebration! What an honor. You deserve it. Well done. Thanks for including us as you create. 💚💚💚

[@greencheek5056]

Congratulations! A well deserved honor and recognition of your talent. I spent several years sewing for a custom flag company. There is a bit of a learning curve for drafting and sewing bunting and pointed flags but I loved the way they looked. I learned to sew across the point about 1/2" before the tip and trim the seam allowance at an angle to get nice sharp points. As always I love watching you and Anna collaborate on projects. Your eyes sparkle when you are inspired and having fun.

[@tinatippin5705]

Love the bunting. My garden bunting gave it's all last year, so I get to make a new one for this year. I think the Queen and The Tate will be quite pleased with yours. Anyway, they should be. So nice to see you again, Anna. So much fun to dig through the bins of odds and ends fabrics. Oh! The turning of the calendar was great too. Indigo, shelves of treasures and needle in hand. It will be a great month. Happy week to you both.

[@missyvoigt9021]

That is wonderful!! I have enjoyed watching all of the festivities! Queen Elizabeth is a remarkable lady, and how lovely that you have honored her and her Jubilee in this way! You are remarkable too Kate!! ❤

I also love that you referenced 'paper scissors' - my girls certainly know what 'paper scissors' are!

[@janeahrens6834]

Kate, have you considered entering Agnes' quilt in a show? It truly is beautiful and unique and deserves to be seen. The way you took a traditional pattern and made a quilt so unique is just genius. Every time I see it in the background, I am newly impressed.
