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 I'm Ruth, a cat-person from Northern Ireland. I love your videos - your voice is so calming and your house and garden are beautiful. I'm a bit of a flibberty-jibbert when it comes to crafts - quilting, crochet and knitting are the main ones, but I've attempted loads of things including lace and brick laying, though not at the same time!

[@isabelladroll9058]

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 ❤

Hello Kate, I am one of the New Visitors! I am Christine, living in Hamburg, Germany. I am new with sewing (not really new but - again sewing as an adult, when I was a child I learned it by my grandma). I love it to see and to hear your videos: it is Inspiration for me, what you are doing and how you are doing this - in a quiet atmosphere! The parts with music I love too! My work and my family are often turbulent and videos and Musik calm me down. And (very nice): I'm improving my English skills! I listen to all the videos bit by bit, including COVID time and lockdown. So, I'm enjoying it! Thank you! Best regards

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.

Ants, your neighbor and Jack of all trades was wonderful to watch help you to create a new pond and fantastic “cabin” for you to go and sew, crochet, knit, spin, and take a nap in such a lovely place. Thank you for your generous invitation to all of us. Wish we could all come and bring you a plant or flowers and have a Thank you party…we’d all trample the garden for sure.

[@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

[@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.

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. 🙏🏻🐞

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.

[@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

[@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.

Hello Kate, I'm from very distant Argentina and have been watching your videos for ages, made the trip around the world quilt inspired by you and learnt so many other things that you have so generously shared with us. Thank you so much for your placid and interesting videos.

[@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!

[@alisaannwalsh6231]

Hello Kate. I have just started a tana lawn quilt and I love watching while I quilt. It will take me a year of slow stitching. Thank you for sharing your sweet nature. I hope to become more positive in life like you. :)

[@francetherrien1572]

Hello Kate, I am a weaver and I don’t do quilting but I love listening to you and looking at the magnificent pieces of fabric. thank you and I live in Quebec, Canada🌷

[@ruthwasinger3969]

Hi Kate, I am Ruth from Germany. 72 Jears old. Thank you very much for the inspiration you give to me and all the other people around the world. To see your kind of working and speaking is like a meditation for me. My English is not very good but listening to you makes it better bit by bit. I think, your cat Rita looks like one of your colorful Quilts.....

Watching from Launceston Tasmania Australia. 10pm Saturday 24th February.

[@donnabooth9324]

Hi Kate and Anna, I am watching from Glossodia NSW Australia and found you about 14 months ago when I moved back to my parent’s home to care for them as my mum is bedridden and my dad has dementia. I also work full time from home as an accounts clerk. When I need some “time out” I turn to you!!! I had actually started a hexagon quilt and it was my gorgeous gay son who showed me the process which is the same as yours, hand basting. He is a member of a quilters guild near where he lives and the ladies just love him. Funnily he is also a weight lifter so I say he needs to shop with me so he can carry all the fabric. 😂 Thank you for being my therapist and helping relieve some of the stress in my world. ❤❤❤

Hi Kate from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia! Your videos kept me company last week while we were getting 150 cm of snow! It was dreary outside, but you kept us smiling and warm ❤

[@heathernolan902]

Cheers from just outside Halifax! You all were hit so hard… I’m hoping today’s snow stays offshore 💚

[@ShirlHubbs]

Just saw your video for the first time. I love your sweet mannerisms! Such a sweet personality and I love making things by hand too. I have all my life! My father taught me to embroider when I was seven years old and have been doing some sort of needlework ever since. Quilts and cross stitch have stayed my favorite over the years! Going to checkout your Facebook and watch your previous videos! Love your beautiful little kitty! Enjoy your day! Shirley

[@elestehorn4290]

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.

[@dulcem1977]

Hello Kate and greetings from Zaragoza (Aragón, Spain). I love to seeing your videos and listening to you. Liberty fabrics are beautiful, I agree, but I think, is you who do the magic : ) Thank you very much indeed for sharing your know-how.

[@cynthiajones1461]

I think you have picked the perfect fabric and pattern for your new granddaughter and I look forward to watching your progress. I've been watching you for years now and have shared your channel with many quilter friends. I'm from Rome, Georgia but have lived in the Knoxville, Tennessee area for 29 years. When I can't sleep at night for worry I turn on your channel and your calm voice and lovely projects are better than any medicine on earth. You are a blessing (and Anna also!).

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.

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

My dear friend, I have been EPPING since 1984 and also have found it very therapeutic and portable. My daughter's hexagon quilt was made with all of her baby clothing. I am joining along with you creating the Plus quilt, using children's fabrics, making it an 'I Spy ' quilt for my great grandson , here in South Carolina, USA. What you do is such an inspiration for all of us to keep learning and getting new ideas to express our creativity . I'm sitting here on the lime green couch with my fabric, all ready for stitching . Blessings, and thank you, Kate .😊

Hi Kate, Anna, and Cat Rita. I am Tiffanie from Kentucky. I have machine sewed some here and there my entire life but when I decided to research how to do EPP, your videos came up. I have been so inspired. I did a 2.5 hexie throw quilt and have started an Agnus size 1 inch hexie quilt too. I bought the Kaffe fabric to make a little pouch like yours and I can’t wait to make it. Thank you for all of your inspiration. I have been farming all my life and the simplicity of your life reminds me of mine. So far away but so close in ideas! Have a wonderful day! Thank you again.
