Liberty Christmas Tree for your Christmas Box! 2022

[@aprililles9610]

Watching you and Anna contentedly working away on your tree packaging has really brightened my day. I left my job as a full time primary teacher five years ago as it was getting too much with my MS. Watching your videos has been a true highlight of my days at home alone. You have truly made me feel that living a quiet life filled with little tasks done with love is a life filled with value. You have inspired me to create my own Christmas cards each year and to make feltboard stories for a teacher friend. I’ve made three books by following your instructions. I’ve collected some fabric and am almost ready to begin some sort of quilting project. I putter and rest and am quietly content. And you are in a large part responsible for this peace I have found with my quieter life at home. I have just wanted so much to tell you that but have only recently started commenting. Thank you.

[@tracycharalambous5223]

April I was very touched reading your comment. There's alot to be said for a peaceful life . Take care & happy crafting. Enjoy the quilting it's wonderful & very addictive 😂

Funny how being part of a lovely community makes you not feel alone. We are all here for each other and our crafting, whatever type, is very special because we love it ❤❤ sending you a virtual ⚘xx

What a lovely comment.reach out, we are all here if you need us.Take care.x

[@marilyn9155]

April, Marilyn here. I agree with you. I am also retired and I am fairly new on the LGS and I literally watch Kate’s videos night and day . I find inspiration , contentment and peace and GREAT comfort in her quiet gentle ways. She really draws one in to make you feel part of her cherished family. I have started making small projects inspired by her and even have adopted the colors pink and green! I try to recreate a version of TLHH in my daily life now and corners of my home. So welcome to the “SOFA” ! You , like myself, have stumbled onto a most treasured experience; to know our Kate. Marilyn USA

[@loispatrick2594]

April, you have put into words my thoughts and feelings as well!! I also have MS as well as 7 other autoimmune diseases and live my life in bed or slowly pottering around making projects as you are. xx

That Kellogg's story is priceless! My grandmother lived just a couple miles from their Battle Creek Michigan headquarters, so every year growing up we'd receive things from their gift shop. Needless to say the company holds a place of honor in our family.

2 years ago I made your trees and gave them to my daughters for Christmas. They loved them. Thanks for sharing. I bought one of yours and it is proudly up again this year.

I feel like this would be a wonderful thing to do for children and grandchildren. Hand made things for the season.

I agree. children need to see how much love goes into handmade items. so they can continue with tradition. seems like we're losing so much these days. I love traditions

[@elenabello138]

How nice to see Rita ! The Christmas tree are beautiful ! As soon as I saw Anna wearing a teeshirt I thought : they are working in the summer, you are always wearing a jumper. 🙂

[@eileensecrest2185]

I love them! And love your production methods (especially that ingenious way of cutting the threads and having the bags pile themselves up.)

[@TheHawkeyeQuilter]

The cornflake story was hilarious! Perhaps it explains why you like putting glitter in packages? LOL So good to see you and Anna chatting while working; feels like I'm sitting right there with you both! Blessings.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I think you are right! from a very early age I have enjoyed packing treats into boxes! ha ha! xxx

[@practicaldesigninc.5593]

The cornflake as the free gift! I just realized we are soul mates! O MG I absolutely loved that.

[@pebblecritter]

Awwww, love your trees, they're so sweet! Pink and gold is a FUN colour theme and you know, those gold stars in the packet would NEVER be wasted - I love the idea of sewing them onto the tree! Loved the family assembly line - and to see Owen found his true calling - the scissors.... Truly made me giggle! You have an amazing family and can't wait to see what John's making.....!!!!!! (yes, I was paying attention). :) xxx

[@donnajohnson9834]

How happy you must have been to have both your boys surrounding you at the sewing machine!

[@sampearson2881]

I enjoy the relationship and affection that is evident between you and Anna! This is such a calming KZbin channel to watch. Just like quilting is my therapy your channel is my meditation 😊. All the best to you and your wonderful family. ❤

Great of you to mention that. I was so fortunate to get a box the first year and opening each gift was a joy and surprise. To think this very kind person who never met me packaged each special item with so much care and thoughtfulness still brings tears to my eyes. I am happy for each person who is able to receive a box this year.

I so enjoyed watching you girls today! Very special memories y’all are making 🥰 I’ve set my alarm to try to purchase a Christmas Box to be sent to Shreveport,Louisiana USA. My first time to try! I had decided not to decorate for Christmas this year but if I get a box I will have to have a tree 🌲 ready to put my package 📦 under. Thank you for all your videos. Kate you are a very special lady 🥰😘🥰

[@lindaleal809]

Good luck!

How fun to participate in your time travel experiences! 😁 I marvel that you contribute your own hand made item in each box. I couldn't make that many of anything! Loved the story of your subversion on the factory floor. 😉

[@conniekohler2733]

The trees are wonderful! I hope this year I can get a box.

[@patriciadorwin4052]

Love these extra videos. John being John is a hoot. Can't wait to see what he adds to the Christmas box this year. Anna has become as dear as you are. The thing I keep thinking is that we are going to turn around and the Little One will be helping to pack boxes. You do have a sweet family.

[@paulettebornestig4430]

[@robynw6307]

Love the way you always say "a spare few minutes". From what I can glimpse of your life, Kate, I'm not sure that you ever have a spare few minutes. You never stop. I think we are around the same age (I'm 63), but I wish I had your energy. What's your secret :) I, too, love repetitive tasks. Whenever I tell people this, they look at me as if I'm strange. So nice to know that there is at least one other in the world like me 💝💖

I love the bag idea. I’ve just sold my tiny condo and had everything moved into my new senior apt with 3 bedrooms 2 bath. Now I have a dedicated art room. I’ll be looking for a new sewing machine. I make a different ornament every year to send in family packages and this will be perfect. I have tons of rumpled packing paper that will make perfect wrapping paper. Instead of sewing I’ll stamp them with a potato stamp. I’m gonna use pinking shears on the felt outer edge.
