My next EPIC English Paper Pieced Quilt is LIBERTY!

I'm making another Grandchild Quilt! If you remember the paper pieced hexagon quilt I made for Agnes who is now 4, then you'll know that I don't mind how long projects like these take me!
This is a 2 inch, 60' diamond paper template and all the fabrics will be Liberty Tana Lawn which is not only beautiful to work with but comes in such delicious patterns and colours. I bought my extra Liberty at last year's Festival of Quilts from a number of different suppliers. The papers are from Lina Patchwork.
Let's see how long this one takes to finish!
Every week I make extra content for my Patrons who support this channel. The latest video on Friday was all about my daughter in law Anna's obsession with Liberty Hexagons. you can catch up with that and all the other content I make for the price of a craft magazine over here

WOW! what a wonderful community of like minded souls! Thank you all so much for your heartfelt comments, I have so enjoyed learning where you are all from and reading your lovely stories. Thank you. I have the best community on the internet!!! xxx

[@ruthwasinger3969]

Hi Kate, I forgot to tell you how I discovered your KZbin videos : since ten years I keep my bees. A couple of weeks ago I was searching for some specific informations and over the word "hexagon" came yor last homely House channel. Isn't it crazy? That's live!! Now I'm going to create a hexagon cushion. In Spring, I'll take it out of the garden, to sit and watch the bees. Thank you for inspire me!

[@cariadcrafts]

Hello Kate. I'm fairly new to your Channel and haven't yet taken the plunge to make anything altho I've watched so many of your videos now. I especially liked following along Anna's journey making her quilt with you. I'm a Nana myself and want to try my hand at a quilt for my new baby granddaughter. I'll then attempt more for my other grandchildren! Looking forward to learning from you. Hugs from me, Cathy from South Wales ❤

[@beth12svist]

Hello Kate, greetings from Czechia! I'm a bit late to the video - I've been doing nightshifts every other week since September, so as you can imagine, I am quite knackered and do things on my own irregular schedule... But the timing in putting this video off worked out perfectly, because I had a bit of a bad day (night), and this, Cat Rita certainly included, coupled with a cup of Darjeeling, was the perfect mood lifter! Your videos have been doing that service for me at least since the lockdowns (I think I discovered your channel maybe less than a year before them?), so: thank you! I'm more a garment sewist and knitter than quilter, but that does not really stop me from being inspired: I just recently looked at some leftover green sock yarn of mine and thought "I should pair this with pink." 😅 Someone in another comment here wrote you are like an adoptive grandmother to them. I realised it's rather similar to me. I had a very crafty, creative grandma who passed away last year (her specialty was bobbin lace); you're helping to fill that hole a bit. 💛

Hi Kate I just wanted to let you know that you feel like an adopted grandmother to me in a way. I'm 20 and I've watched nearly all of your videos on both channels and I've been watching for a few years now. They're comforting and it feels like I get to learn skills from someone who cares and I appreciate you. Thank you ❤

[@annabeatrizoliveira7974]

Hello Kate, i’m from Brazil. My name is Anna and I just turned 18 and I started my first quilt this august at 17. I’m making it for my grandmother as a gift, I’m also adding embroidering. Since it is my very first quilt it has been quite a challenge, but I have been enjoying every step of the way. And it will be all worth it when I see a smile on my grandmother’s face.

[@joannemarmen7275]

Hi Kate, I love watching your videos. ❤ I’m from Quebec Canada. I’m a French speaker.

[@tonicansdale3022]

I started quilting at age 8 with my Irish grandmother. My first projects were all EPP. We used my dad's shirt cardboards for the templates and newspaper for the papers, and the fabric we used was cut up clothing. My grandmother insisted on 11 stitches to the inch. Those hexagons were hard work and i didn't like it. Now at age 75, after quilting all my life, I'm trying EPP again. And now I'm enjoying the process. I love your soothing, calm, relaxing videos. No glue for me...I hand baste. I'm still sewing and knitting and teach collage quilting at my local shop here in AZ. I also lead a group of quilters who "think outside the box". I hope to start an EPP class soon and will definitely recommend your videos. Thanks Kate.

[@auntiejonjee1593]

I'm from Missouri. And it's exactly because of the sun and the room and the cat and your calming voice that I started watching. It's so much like joining my grandma in her sewing room. Just stitching and talking about whatever comes up. It's something desperately needed and welcome here! Thank you so much for sharing you!

Hi Kate! I'm in Massachusetts and I just found you yesterday. I love spending time with you, you're like having a wonderful new friend. I've been a quilter for over 20 years and I love to bake. I used to do quite a bit of gardening but not so much anymore. I wish you weren't so far away. Thank you for your inspiration and genuine kindness. Please keep the videos coming❣️

Hello Kate! I'm from Missouri, in USA. I quilt when the bug hits. There are a bunch of projects ready, but I'm not. My craft room is in the basement. Stays cool so summers are sewing/quilting for me. Our summers are sweltering so the cats and I head down there.

Hi Kate, I’m 67 and live in West Sussex in a tiny Victorian cottage with my Husband 3 grown up daughters and spaniel Milo, it’s a bit crowded and chaotic but I love having them all around me, as someone who can’t even sew a button on so that it stays put I am fascinated watching you sew and create, I love quilts and watching you make magic is so calming in a crazy world, cat Rita is a beautiful girl, thank you for sharing a little of your world and your lovely family with us all. 💚

[@debbierasmussen7254]

Hi Kate, I am so so happy I found your site, my mom was British and lived in London until she came to Canada as a war bride. She has moved to heaven now but these videos remind me so much of her.

Between your videos and my niece organizing my sewing, I’m inspired to start back. Originally, I started with hand piecing and I think I’ll go back to that. Thank you!

It’s so important to let people how they make a positive difference in our lives. I am older and depression has hit me which slows or stops my progress on my projects such as quilting and crocheting but with Kat in my life it help me feel better. Yes there is a sort of comfort there that pulls me through. I want to say Thank you Kate you are a blessing to me. I truly enjoy your videos.

[@nicolapepper3354]

As a person who celebrates small victories, EPP is perfect. Taking a moment to hand sew two pieces together is a win, two halves of a star joined a milestone and completion of a quilt a triumph. Your joy and calmness is infectious Kate, thanks for sharing your projects with all of us on the LGS. Love from OZ.

I’m hiking 3050 miles and hand sewing a 1/2 inch hexagon quilt for myself 🥰 I watched you sew the first grand daughters. I had never hand sewn anything.

[@gwynethwilliams1386]

I’m from North Wales, a small village between Wrexham and Mold. I have promised my granddaughter a quilt when she goes to University in September and you have inspired me to make a star quilt. The very first paper pieced quilt I made and designed began in a sewing class over many many months. Life got in the way…… I.e renovating many houses but the box of paper pieces and fabric came with me each time……so, 20 years later it got finished and I was very proud of it. Since then I have made a few more using varying techniques and now this star quilt is for Ruby to have when she leaves home. Just to add I am not a person who makes perfect items but I do value the fact that patchwork must be precise and that’s what I aim for……let’s just hope I speed up a bit otherwise it may mean she will get it when she leaves home to go to her first job. Thanks for your wonderful videos which inspire thousands of people from many parts of the world. X

[@1angelofthelight2]

Hi Kate, lovely to see your new project and the tutorial, I picked up some good tips there. I'm from scarborough, North Yorkshire and I'm making a cushion cover for my granddaughter out of epp rectangles, which I'm slow stitch8ng and embellishing. I'm a bit stuck on epp at the moment lol.

[@courageousspirit3586]

Each time I open one of your videos, I learn something new and am so inspired by you and your talents and kindness. I adore that you are teaching Anna and that you have involved family members in your projects; each of the channels of media. I watch both the one of your work in the home and out in the garden and so admire your skills and generosity to take the time to make us feel like we are right there with you. You have really become a mentor and a hero to everyone you come into contact with. I find myself at peace and energized by your work. Thank you so much. Today I started to dig in and really organize my craft supplies by category of type of needlework.. I completed a crazy quilt that I made out of silks and satin's that I had collected for 10 years, and it took me 9 years to make, as I was only able to work on it on the weekends. My sew happy weekends. I had to teach myself many new stitches. I fell in love with slow stitching and moved on to making rosette quilt tops or what you call yo-yo or suffolk puffs for family an friends and donated a couple. I love to learn new things and you have opened up a bigger challenge for me, at 69 yrs, and living in Idaho, of the USA. love every video. Absolutely love the quilt that Anna made. What a gift to the world you are. Loved seeing you and your mum under quilts together and how you honored her.

[@susantalbot1054]

Hi Kate, I am from Australia. I started English Paper Piecing 4 years ago. My dearest friend Therese started me on it. It has been a great comfort to me and kept me sane after losing my eldest son 3 years ago. My first quilt EPP won a 3rd place in a quilt show and I was so chuffed with the judges comments. My next quilt I made in honour of my son, and my dear friend custom quilted it for me and in the binding put my sons name on it. It hangs in the room that used to be his. Thank you for your videos they are very inspiring.

[@nicoeeek.7181]

That is such a beautiful and also heartbreaking comment, sending you love friend ( Tassie, Aus ) . You have snapped me out of my anger with my son, he is living with us atm and has been struggling badly with mental health issues. Today after a heavy week of his moods we ended up arguing which resulted in me angrily storming off in a flood of tears and heading to the garden, I am about to go get some sewing supplies and plants and will let him know how much I love him before leaving!! My heart goes out to you, I cannot imagine having to live through such a loss. xoxo

Hello Kate. I’m 72 and live on a farm about 25 miles from the nearest town in the central part of Alberta, Canada. I have been watching your channel for many years. I am a quilter, bag maker and cross stitcher and have done a tiny bit of English paper piecing. Your quilt for Agnes was beautiful. You have inspired me to dig out a small English paper piecing project I started a few years ago! I’ve also been watching the Last Homely House Garden channel since its start. I don’t enjoy yard work but love watching your channel and your love of gardening. Can’t wait for the cabin to be done. 🙂

[@nancychristian3026]

Hello Kate I’ve just found you on KZbin. The only hexagon quilt I’ve made I gave to my dear friend in the hospital. She protested that it was too special. To appease her I told her she could give it back when she came home. She loved it and gave her something cheerful to look at. Unfortunately she passed unexpectedly and it was much later that I remembered the quilt. I asked her husband if he knew what happened to it and with a smile he said oh yes it’s on my bed at home! Apparently it gave him some comfort too. Watching you work makes me want to make another one. Hand sewing is so comforting to me. Thank you and my husband and I followed our daughter from Washington state to Florida 3 yrs ago. 🙏🏻🐞

[@bonnieleemellott242]

Hello Kate, thank you so much for keeping us company. I look forward to each new installment of your videos. I’m a sixty-nine year old woman living in rural Maine, United States with my husband, four dogs and two cats. I made a loose resolution this year to complete one quilted project a month. So far January has a full sized simple six inch block pattern quilt all of solid purple fabrics, my husband’s choice. Just beginning to sandwich a scrap, king size flying goose quilt together for February. Wish me luck. Blessing on you dear lady for encouraging, teaching, and sharing with all of us.

[@palominogirl2732]

Hello rural Maine! Rural NY here. A scrappy flying geese sounds wonderful! Like Kate, I also watch Jenny of Missouri Star Quilt Company, and I'm so happy that I discovered her last September or so, and just when I had hand surgery around Thanksgiving, a video on crumb quilting popped up. No cutting really. With a bone removed from my left thumb/wrist, I couldn't do much, but I could hold fabric between my first and second fingers well enough to just randomly sew small pieces of fabric together. Honestly, saved my sanity for the first week or so. (You should have seen me tie my shoes without a working left thumb - slow, but I got it done.) I'm telling you this since you might have lots of small scraps left from the 'geese'. I have 24 10" squares of crumbs and it really became a favorite thing to make, even now that my hand is mostly back up to full strength. Take care.

Hi Kate...I am from the Philippines but living in the Algarve, south of Portugal now with my British husband. I had been watching your videos for few months now. When I was diagnosed with lung cancer, I started to watch quilting videos to get me back to quilting. I had been to a quilting class as a beginner in Lausanne, Switzerland when my husband got a job there. I made a lap quilt, hand stitched and hand quilted except when I sew the binding in but finished the binding with hand stitching. Now, while I am on chemotherapy, I like to do something I enjoy to do so I decided to go back to quilting. I haven't done this when we lived in the UK, Singapore and Philippines.

Hi Kate, so many of your viewers are from far away places around the world - that’s wonderful. I’m watching from Shirley,Solihull - just south of Birmingham England (ten minutes down the road from the Cotton Patch Shop.). I have always loved making and gardening (I’ll be 80 later this year) and am very envious of your lovely home and garden - particularly your tree house, my 9 year old granddaughter would love it. So enjoy your videos and many thanks for all the time spent preparing them. With love, Jean

Hello neighbor! I watch from Huntsville 😊

Since I found you here, I‘m working myself through the past videos…❤ I‘m from South of Germany (Baden-Württemberg) and I do not quilting, but I love to see somebody doing it.

[@Yazz2014]

Talking about that video. A crackling fire will get me every time and let’s not forget, a cat, an armchair, a quilt and a beautiful british accent. Winning combination all round ❤

Morning Kate. I'm Belinda, from Sheffield UK. I just wanted to say that I saw the lovely article about you in the Guardian online this morning. Now, even more people will pop on to the " lime green sofa." Congratulations ❤

[@elainefitton1868]

Hi Kate, I’m living on the Isle of Man and patiently wait for your videos to come up every fortnight. I enjoyed reading the Guardian article too. I love catching up with what you are doing and end up being inspired to do similar projects. I have a St Lois 16 patch quilt on the go and am building up a hexagon stash to do my own “Agnes” style quilt. Your influence goes far and wide.

[@paulamacomber1916]

I found you a few weeks ago and am thrilled I did. Your videos take me back to the 1950s watching my granny and great-granny hand quilting. I'm in Missouri in the U.S. and your videos make me feel like I'm sitting there with you. Thank you so much for being there.

Hello Kate. I love your cannel. I’m from Michigan in the USA. I have loved sewing all my life. My grandma and Great Grandma lived next door. Grandma was a lot like you. Many different projects on the go. Great Grandma was blind but she crocheted rag rugs. I was fascinated as a child to sit and talk with Great Grandmas as she made rag rugs. What I wouldn’t give to have one today 60 years later. How I was blessed to have such great woman in my life when I was young.

Thank you for your lovely KZbin channels!! I am in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Nevada City California. Like others, here I am going through some cancer surgeries and subsequent treatments. I've had 3 surgeries in the past 6 months. I find such joy in viewing your channel as they are such a balm to my heart and soul. Your peaceful, quite demeanor is so refreshing. We also have a little "farm". The mountain lions, bear, and foxes have been a huge problem for our goats and chickens, so we no longer have any. We do however, have a little vegetable garden. I love to can our fruits and veggies, make salsa and jam to gift to others, and enter in our county fair. Our daffodils bloomed early this year on January 29th, the very day I returned home from my last surgery. What happy little pops of color they add to our winter landscape! My husband and I have had a retirement longarm quilting business for the past 16 years. We love our customers and the variety of quilts we have been given the honor of quilting. Thank you again for allowing us into your last homely house and garden!

Hi Kate, I‘m from Switzerland and I love your videos too. They inspired me to restart all my craft activities after a long break of about 25 years. Before I had an intensive family phase with little children and I did many knitting and crochet projects, mainly for the children. Later I joined a management job in a big company and I was too busy and tiered in the evening to follow up my handcraft projects. Since one year I’m retired now and I open my dusty moving boxes an pull out one unfinished project after the other. I also found my quilting stuff and I‘m in the process of revival and relearning. I think, I have enough work for many years now. I like the way you perform your videos, they are always full of peace and love and of course information and ideas. Kate, all the best for you and your projects, stay in love with your family and friends and all people in your community.I can‘t wait until the next video comes out… Take care and best regards from Switzerland, Petra

[@bhalliwell2191]

Northeast Ohio, U.S.A., here, right on the shoreline of Lake Erie. So lovely to have a quilting companion on the internet even though I have no internet presence apart from an email account. Even before I found your channel I'd had an ambition to do a Grandmother's Flower Garden hexie quilt. (Also have had a double Irish chain in slow preparation for years and years.) Seed Packet quilt was most inspiring, but what will come from the inspiration will be...not a Seed Packet quilt, something quite different, I'm thinking. Now I feel a lot less...isolated, and that isolation has been despite having plenty of quilters in the general vicinity: I have yet to meet them, but we've had some deeply demanding veterinary issues in this house and we treat our animal companions much as if they were our grandchildren (of which we have none.) And I love to garden, particularly vegetables and herbs. Glad and grateful for all you do. Much love from NorthEast Ohio! 😊❤❤❤😊

Hi Kate I'm in Fleetwood Lancashire I'm 87 years young and also enjoy your ideas and videos also with Anna who's coming along nicely. Not forgetting cat Rita who's a star

Watching from Lindsay, Ontario, Canada, I always feel like you are talking across the table to me! Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!

[@RogueAPBT]

This made me think of how it must be for families that live with multiple generations in one house. They could have a Kate stitching by the fire every night, or doing something equally cool. At least us solo dwellers can bond through the magic of the internet. I'm in the northwestern US, Washington state. I raise guide dog puppies and like to build things out of other peoples' cast off materials (mostly wood), but I'm interested in learning to make a quilt, which is how I found your channel. Stayed for the chats, coffee and cats. I'm currently taking a break from building a bed frame out of cheap construction lumber and shop scraps... I needed a break from sanding out in the unheated carport. We usually have a spring/winter mash-up here that lasts until late June, then it does summer for a few months.

[@annclarke5597]

Hi Kate. I am enjoying your posts so very much. I am in Madison, Georgia - a historical small town one hour east of Atlanta. I just completed a baby quilt made predominantly with Liberty fabrics. It was gifted to the first grandchild of our friends who live in Derby.

Hi Kate, thank you for the joy you are spreading with your youtube channels ❤️🫶🏻 I am from Switzerland 🇨🇭I am 65 and have 1 daughter and 2 cats. First you reminded me very much of my own (dead) mother, who was always sewing and gardening, but even more it is the friendliness and happiness you are giving to every one, that reminded me of her. Later I realised that you and I must be of almost the same age!! that felt strange. I like to knit, crochet, sew (but no quilt), paint my furniture and canvasses, scrap booking and more… I dont have a garden. And I watch youtube while doing all this. love pat

[@violagirl6132]

Hi Kate, I'm Catherine and I'm from Northumberland! I love your channel. My mam does a lot of quilting. She does it properly with patterns etc but about 30 years ago I spent 3 years making a paper quilt out of clothes my mam and I wore. I had no idea what I was doing but I'm very proud of that quilt and I really enjoyed making it. I'm thinking of starting a Boro style throw for my sofa. Thanks for letting us see your homely life!
