Catch up on my LIBERTY English Paper Pieced Quilt Project

This week I am working on the English Paper Pieced Liberty project I am making for my youngest grandchild. It is always lovely to have an excuse to raid my Liberty stash and sit in my favourite chair surrounded by piles of beautiful fabrics. The quilt is looking quite different since the last time you saw it!
It really is the support from my lovely Patrons that allows me to keep this show on the road and I am very grateful to each one of you!
You can join them there for the price of a coffee or a craft magazine and watch the content back to the start of 2019! Look in the feature 'Collections' to find what you are looking for!

Today I shut down all media except for you my Dear Kate. Right now I am stressed over America’s political problems. I need peace, so one thing I did is go to my sewing room, (I had thought I would put away my quilting forever) however now I realize I need it more than ever. Watching you with your hand sewing brings me peace. Perhaps we need to require our politicians how to quilt! Always, Patricis 87💖🦋🥰🇺🇸🙏🏻

[@user-oi3wq2ki9i]

How much I agree with you. I love watching Kate. Amidst all the troubled times we have this a haven of peace. God bless x

[@dianatucker3353]

I think the whole world has your same thoughts - Peace- Patricis and yes the politicians should learn from Kate - how to quilt. Kate you’re an amazing lady - I so look forward to your You Tube channel - you give a lot more than you realise, thank you - Diana NZ

[@pacaluvr7963]

Totally in agreement with you. I’ve been doing the same thing. Have pulled out a knitting project and am enjoying it. Peace of mind is so hard to attain. Thanks to Kate for inspiring us.

I am a 70-year-old grandmother of 12, and just learning how to quilt. I like to stay busy. I still work a full-time job, I knit, have a small photography business on the side, make my own soap, garden, and now, add quilting to it all, in addition to spending as much time with my grandchildren as possible😊 I love watching you do your projects, Kate, and each evening after dinner, I go to my craft room, turn on the television and I "quilt with Kate" awhile. It's the most relaxing part of my day, and a great way to wind down. Thank you for all you do! ❤️

My condolences 🙏 There are several followers who are homebound that follow various KZbinrs. Our foster mum loved watching this channel, too. She always had her pension spent before she got it.😂😂😂 Talking about how she's got plans for this and that. She was a real trooper and finished all her projects for her many grandbabies before she transcended. We fosters demanded where our heirlooms were, and she quipped, raising us should be heirloom enough! 😂😂😂😂 She wasn't wrong because she split up that handmade recipe book amongst us according to our talents! My son still has his coat of many colors!😂😂😂😂 It was said our foster mum transcended while complaining about the waste a quilter had, making a crazy quilt!!!😂😂😂

Lucky grandson. Is it English Paper pieced? That sounds like a lot of work to make king-sized (although you can use larger shapes, it’s still a lot of hand stitching!

What a perfect day, Kate! There is nothing better than to spend time with family, and then with a needle and thread. You have such a lovely spot for both! I have two grandchildren who graduated high school and are off to University in the fall. I have spent the past few days working on their quilts, so that they will have them when they leave. My grandson’s is a 16 patch, and my granddaughter’s is large 12” blocks. Easy quilts so I am confident that I can finish them both with time to spare. Enjoy your summer, Kate!

Love the pattern. Thank you.

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Hello, Kate! I love that you have not set time limits on your projects. There is no pressure from yourself-or others-to finish them. As always, I enjoyed the clips of your garden intersperse with your dialogue. I was at a quilting retreat in Pennsylvania and visited a local quilt shop. One of the saleswomen was wearing a lovely reversible swing coat with a shawl collar. I purchased fabrics for it and a co-ordinating 3-yard quilt. I have since purchased the pattern and you have inspired me to make a tumbling block pattern for one side of the jacket and perhaps for the quilt as well. Thank you, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

@@angelacarnes2894 I'm sorry for my delayed response. I read your msg just before I left on my current camping trip. I've been without wifi access until now. Then I couldn't remember where you had posted your request. Oops! The pattern is Swing-Style Sensations Cost/Jacket from cntpattern. com. I also ordered the All Piecing Aside jacket. Both were just delivered by Canada Post, but I won't be home to see them until the 3rd week of August. Again, my apologies for the delay!

When I first saw the Liberty fabrics some time ago I thought they were "okay", but not my cup of tea. But seeing what your vision for them in this quilt is a perfect fit. Your granddaughter is a very lucky little girl to be receiving one of your beautiful quilts as was Agnes. Her quilt is simply stunning, and the Plus quilt will be great for your grandson.

These are going to be lovely, unique quilts, Kate. I'm knitting mitred square blankets in random chunky wool. Five x 200g balls each makes a substantial blanket with a crocheted edge - two of which have kept us cosy during this summer. I take my knitting wherever I'm going to be for a while and a couple ladies came chatting. Short version, they're each knitters, were intrigued, saying they would go search out the method.
