I’m going back to your older videos and enjoying them. Your cats loving your spread out fabric to lie on made me think of my two Westie dogs. Whenever I spread out the pieces of quilt sandwich on my floor to pin baste, they have to lie down on it watching diligently as I pin baste. They want to be part of the process too. I’m enjoying your videos. I’m in Arizona, USA, in the desert. Your homely house and garden are so beautiful.
“Pool Noodles” are used to hold up tall boots. But, also to fill your batting on one, roll your backing on another pool noodle. Then, roll your quilt top on another pool noodle. Easy this way.
I have to confess, I don’t quilt. I don’t have the patience for it. But love the idea of it. I don’t spin, but I do crochet. I don’t garden, hate it really, but grow a nice dozen or so roses and have loads of succulents to “almost” care for, Hate to cook, but have a few specialty dishes from years ago. That being said, I simply love watching your ambitions, your talent, your attitude, your calm and refreshing outlook, and overall generosity to share with us. Don’t get me wrong, I am a prolific painter and might have spent my whole life in pursuit of it if I hadn’t a family to raise and work for, but it’s a strong passion and now in retirement, am obsessed by it. You give me a wonderful glimpse into your passions. Thank you for sharing with us. A great legacy for us all to enjoy.
I could hear the love, remembrance & sadness as you shared about your mum (mom here in the USA) ❤️ I love that I discovered those special quilting pins years ago & the story of your Dad straightening them for your mum…..priceless❣️God bless you, Kate this day & every day & thank you for sharing your wonderful life with us 🥰
Oh my heart broke all over again, just as yours did. I lost my mother in February 2017, and I still remember the pain of that first Mother's Day, and then the first of her birthdays without her. My Mother was quite a hard woman and was always a Mother first and foremost. But as we aged together, we became fast friends, and at the last, best friends. I miss her terribly, still. I was fascinated with your reveal on the origins of the day. It never occurred to me to research that aspect of life - thank you!
I love when you tell us how your dad "fixed your mom's bend pins". My boyfriend got me new pins when he saw that mine were all bend. Such a sweet memory!
What a sweet way to honor your mum. ❤Mother’s Day was hard for me for a long time, and Father’s Day too. I’m also impressed that you have a cat-free room! I’m unable to unlock that achievement. 😂
I love watching your videos while I'm in my crafting space working on my own projects. I'm currently marking out my quilting lines on a quilted blanket for my great-nephew due in August. It is 2 pieces of fabric and a layer of batting that I'm going to sew a design into. Once I finish marking out my sewing grid, I get to assemble the quilt sandwich.
Oh my goodness! I loved the story about your sweet dad straightening your mom"s pins! I always have a lot of reasons to smile with your videos. Thanks, Kate.
Happy Mother’s Day Kate. This channel just keeps getting better and better...all the lovely interesting things that you do in your wonderful house and garden. FABULOUS AND KEEP IT COMING. Xxx
I've never seen quilting pins. My Mom basted the elements together, did the quilting, then removed the basting. Those pins are a bit of genius! Hysterical how your dad "fixed" your mom's pins. Ah, men...
Interesting pins never seen those before. The quilt pins in the states are smaller 1” and not bent. I usually machine quilt my quilts, I have rented time on a long arm in my neighborhood quilt store, and dream of owning my own long arm one day. They take up a lot of room (which I don’t have) so I am looking for one that comes with a table so I can sit instead of standing. One of these days…..
I live in US, been quilting for years, and have only ever used 1.5 inch bent safety pins for my quilt basting. So interesting how different quilting can be in different parts of the same country.
OH, Laughing so hard about your dad "fixing" your mother's quilting pins. I can't wait to share with the group. But feel rather silly laughing out loud when I live alone.....it felt good. Thx
Beautiful quilt Kate, poignant Mothers Day for you. I always thought the curved safety pins were old fashioned nappy pins? I used them for my son...40 years ago!
That's a Beautiful quilt Kate. I love the little tale of your Dad straightening your Mum's quilting pins!! You make lovely interesting videos and you are so talented. Thank you for sharing.
2021 and i like going to the older video so i can find out what you have done. Now i am on a wee farm with room I can get back to quilting Winter time is best. Anita from Canada 🇨🇦
Your videos have me laughing out loud, it makes me feel so good!! Especially when you said your Dad straightened out your Mum's quilting pins, that made me laugh really loud, ha ha
Как красиво, я тоже начала заниматься печворком, это так увлекательно! Проблема только в ткани и наполнителя, у нас в России этот вид рукоделия не так развит как в других странах. Вот смотрю работы зарубежных мастеров и восхищаюсь!!!!!
Oh I just love how thoughtful your Dad was to fix your Mom's pins. She lovingly just thanked him. Such a lovely memory. I wish for a table like yours. I could remove my bed to make room. LOL. Please do as many quilting videos as you can tolerate. I just love them. The novice quilter that I am can use lots of instruction and many tips. Thank you. Blessings
Happy Mother's Day !! Love your video's, l so enjoy watching, as I have the same " likes " as you....sewing, gardening, cooking, hens etc. Everything homemade. Take Care
Happy Mother's Day to you - we celebrate it here in May. Loved the story of your Dad and the pins! I love this idea of the different series - fiber art, quilting, hens, gardening and cooking! Will be fun! Thanks for sharing with us.
HOWDY 💜🇺🇸👩🎤 WOW I AM ALMOST EXACTLY ONE YEAR BEHIND YOU March 11 2018 ...... this video March 13. 2019...... real time I lost my dear Mother January 12. 2010 She almost made it to 95 years old I have a poem in her bed room I can't recall it all right now I will have to get it tomorrow and send it to you.

Sweet story about your mom and dad and the pins! He meant well! Your quilt is stunning...I love how the red stars pop! You have so many wonderful interests...assurance that you will never be bored!
Hope you had a nice Mothers day. That's a fine lot of carded fiber you have there, the cats will wonder where their new bedding went to. I love watching quilting videos just to see how cutting and piecing simple shapes turn into amazing patterns.
Lynn Marie thank you so much. The more I make these little videos, the more I’m enjoying them. I have some ideas for a basic quilting course. Watch this space! ❤️😊
I really love your videos. You seem to be a lady with a cat tale attached, that make me laugh. I enjoyed the quilt so much, just beautiful and your remmembering of your parents sincere and full of joy. Thankyou for being just were you are and share with us. Sorry for the mistakes I made, I am Spaniard 🐱
what a sweet story about the pins Kate made me smile ! Remind me about the time my mum repaired my torn jeans when was younger !they were supposed to be torn
I’ve never done spinning, but do like knitting and tapestry weaving. Thank you; I live in Tulsa,ok USA I’m quilting. Now but have difficulty binding on machine. I teach Adult classes thru our schools in the evening:
Oh my goodness. I am quilting the exact same quilt,same quilt blocks but blue stars and a selection of scrappy doggy prints. That's my June project. Wow.
@@annac7354 Hi Anna, nice to hear from you. I think it's called Morning Star, if you can't find it under that I just googled star sashing and similar pics came up. Here are my measurements. Square block is 5" cut. Width of sashing block is 3" x 5" cut. I made 100 stars and quilt covers a double bed with overlap of 5 or so inches. Do message again if you need more info. Best wishes Ellen Rose
I'm glad to learn of the tradition of UK's mothering day. Sad to think of the young girls alone,working long days, what a hard life ( like poor Daisey on Downton Abbey). What a fantastic work room you have! The quilt top is nice and so is your zest of life. Thanks for sharing your world.
Bless your Dad! And Mum too 🙂 loved listening to you again, I interested to see the hand quilting process, I love to hand sew and am working on a hexagon patchwork project, I am entirely self taught (with internet advice and some real people advice too) coz I like to do things my own way 😉
Happy Mother's Day to you. I know you had emotional and bittersweet episodes while remembering your Mom. I hope most of the memories brought a smile to your face and warmed your heart with her love for you.
Rebecca Foust thank you Rebecca, mum was really in my thoughts that day. She would have loved to see my quilting, but I’m sure she would have found something wrong with it.😂😂😂
Hi, my cat always comes in when i'm in the bathroom. Even when he is sleeping, he wakes and comes to give me company. One of my daughter also does that with the fiber and loves it. Yours looks lovely and very cozy. Also beautiful is the quilt.
I stumbled upon you this afternoon, I live on an Island in the middle of the great lakes in Canada. We have long cold dark, deep snowy winters. That's when I quilt. YOU ARE DELIGHTFUL. feel like I am spending the day with a friend. Thank you for being so lovable. P.S. my he nd peck at my foot wear too ???
Love watching your videos. I have been going back to watch all of the ones I've missed since I am a late arrival to the Lime Green Sofa. Question for you: How do you prevent the quilting pins from leaving holes in the fabric? I used safety pins once on a smaller quilt and they damaged the fabric I used. I had to do some creative repairs, but I was not able to fix all of the holes.
You do make me laugh.... I'd love to see the View from your window- you were having our and describing it and I kept hoping you'd show it. ;) You're the best!
Weren't safety pins with bends in them used as nappy pins back in the day? Makes sense to reuse them for quilting when people were poor and used old dresses etc to make quilts don't you think?
Hi Kate, I’ve only just find your channel, I’m currently catching up with your back issues. Lovely videos thanks for sharing your home, crafts and life with us 💗 xx
Love that quilt. The colors are gorgeous! You did a great job. I’m a quilter too. I did a lot of damage to my hands by hand quilting. So, I had to give it up. Love story about your dad. Lol.
You know when you start talking kitty thinks your talking to her, someone told me that when always wondering why my cat the one in my cover photo always jumped on to my lap when I was on the phone. Love Norma.
Hi Kate, A video as if it were made for me. I love quilts. I have not yet sewn a single, but have all the "ingredients" at home. Fabric, batting, needles and thread. I love to watch quilt shows on UA-cam. Especially older patterns I find beautiful. How nice if you want to report on quilting every now and then. You know what would be great? If you would show some other quilts, or photos of it. In Germany there is a woman who has a blog and who has been quilting for many years, also by hand. I love her posts. At the beginning of your video I was somewhat irritated by your mention of the mother's Day. You explained it. In Germany, Mother's Day is only on the second Sunday in May. Now I have one more question: Do you sell finished woven wool too? If so, I'd like some. Finally, thank you very much for your beautiful videos. I love them all. All my greetings send you Claudia from Germany.
Claudia Ebert hi Claudia. What a lovely thoughtful comment! I have thought about doing more quilting videos and so I will show some of my work in future ones. You ask about my wall, it’s very kind of you and I suppose I would be willing to sell it. Please watch this space and I’ll mention this in some future video. Take care and thank you very much for your support.❤️😊
Hi Kate, I just had to let you know how very much I appreciate your channel. I have one question, does the quilt you highlighted in this program. I am not a quilter but I love this pattern very much and would like to give it a try. Thank you very much, and keep providing us with so much wisdom. Didi.
Norma is so sweet. She probably thinks you are talking to her, since no one is there but you. Ever notice when you are talking on the phone and the cat all of a sudden wants your attention? Yeah, it's funny, but mine have always done this. If you spread out a little blanket just for her, or put one in a cardboard box close to you, or on a chair next to you, while you're doing a project she may leave you alone so you can get them done without interference, and they can feel connected to you, and every once in a while pat their head and they are content. Cats love soft, cozy and warm places, and with all your wonderful fabrics and wool they are in kitty heaven, but don't understand why they can't have it! lol... Glad to see you enjoying Mothers Day, and reflecting on memories past while doing something you love with the sunshine pouring through the windows, makes for a very lovely day.
Kate L. Thanks for this comment Kate, do you know if I minded the cats I probably would do as you suggest, but I rather like their silly antics.. Thank you so much for watching. Take care❤️😊
Happy Mother's Day Kate...you have spoken of your son. Do you get together today? I hope so. They always make us feel so good...have happy memories of your mom. GOD BLESS
Lovely video as always, Kate. I think I've watched this one at least twice! The quilt fascinates me and I'd like to give it a go. Is there a pattern available for purchase? Or is there a name for the quilt so I can search for a pattern? Or at least the measurements of the large square and the lozenge? Thank you for any information you can provide. Vicki Voisin
do you know - I can't remember where i fist saw this? Bonnie Hunter? Missouri Star? I don't know? maybe i just worked it out for myself? it was a long while ago? sorry xxx
Hi Kate, loved this video. The quilt, stories and your chatty style are lovely. Just a tip - my quilting teacher taught me to leave my pins open, ready for next time. Use a large, spare pin cushion to store open pins, at the ready, instead of closing them after use. Still binging your videos... regards from Oz.
The traditional source of Mothering Sunday is that they went back to their mother church. It has over the years become more about mothers than the church!
I love watching you no matter what your showing us because you have such a kind and loving heart. I look forward to learning more from you and Anna. ❤
I’m going back to your older videos and enjoying them. Your cats loving your spread out fabric to lie on made me think of my two Westie dogs.

Oh my goodness. I am quilting the exact same quilt,same quilt blocks but blue stars and a selection of scrappy doggy prints. That's my June project. Wow.
hello Ellen, do you have a name of the pattern? I have a stash of fabric that would be perfect for this quilt. Ty.

I have looked at Kate's quilt in the video and think her colourful square is more than the 5 inches that I used more like 7inches.??
Do you have a photo of yours? I'd love to see it.

I wish your videos were longer. I really enjoy every minute of it. I know you have a rule but we love your videos ❤️
What a lovely story about your mum and dad.
Just love to see Norma and her friends
Stunning quilt! ❤️😉👍

Happpy happy day aren't we forunate. Love your simple quilts as you call them. I'm on board with simple too
Lol, funny about the pins, would have liked to Bea fly on the wall!
I love your happy eyes!
Love the pin story. My Grandmother had me bend her pins for her. Had no idea that you could but them that way. So funny...
I love watching your videos Kate. Happy Mother's Day to you and love to your furry family xx
Angela thank you Angela. I am enjoying making these videos more than I could have imagined, so happy you like them too. ❤️😊
Happy Mother's Day to you. I know you had emotional and bittersweet episodes while remembering your Mom. I hope most of the memories brought a smile to your face and warmed your heart with her love for you.

Really loved the star quilt and how simple. Will give it a try. Thanks. You are a good example.
Never thought about taping down the backing Kate. The times I have pinned and then the back was out of place. Grrrrr! It won't happen again.
Norma! You quilt and colors chosen are fabulous....so pretty! Happy Day to you!...Heather
Could you do a tutorial for the block? Love it. Reminds me of poinsettias
Weren't safety pins with bends in them used as nappy pins back in the day? Makes sense to reuse them for quilting when people were poor and used old dresses etc to make quilts don't you think?

Hi Kate, I just had to let you know how very much I appreciate your channel. I have one question, does the quilt you highlighted in this program. I am not a quilter but I love this pattern very much and would like to give it a try. Thank you very much, and keep providing us with so much wisdom. Didi.
Norma is so sweet. She probably thinks you are talking to her, since no one is there but you. Ever notice when you are talking on the phone and the cat all of a sudden wants your attention? Yeah, it's funny, but mine have always done this.
If you spread out a little blanket just for her, or put one in a cardboard box close to you, or on a chair next to you, while you're doing a project she may leave you alone so you can get them done without interference, and they can feel connected to you, and every once in a while pat their head and they are content. Cats love soft, cozy and warm places, and with all your wonderful fabrics and wool they are in kitty heaven, but don't understand why they can't have it! lol...
Glad to see you enjoying Mothers Day, and reflecting on memories past while doing something you love with the sunshine pouring through the windows, makes for a very lovely day.
Kate L. Thanks for this comment Kate, do you know if I minded the cats I probably would do as you suggest, but I rather like their silly antics.. Thank you so much for watching. Take care❤️😊
Yes, I like their antics also, as they can be quite entertaining, and who can say no to one who just wants to cuddle in your lap! lol
Happy Mother's Day Kate...you have spoken of your son. Do you get together today? I hope so. They always make us feel so good...have happy memories of your mom. GOD BLESS
sharon owens hi Sharon. I have three grown-up kids and I either saw or spoke to all of them yesterday. They are awesome! ❤️😊
Kate, watching your older videos and i love this quilt pattern. May i have the name of it? I want to purchase the pattern, thank you.
Lovely video as always, Kate. I think I've watched this one at least twice! The quilt fascinates me and I'd like to give it a go. Is there a pattern available for purchase? Or is there a name for the quilt so I can search for a pattern? Or at least the measurements of the large square and the lozenge? Thank you for any information you can provide. Vicki Voisin
do you know - I can't remember where i fist saw this? Bonnie Hunter? Missouri Star? I don't know? maybe i just worked it out for myself? it was a long while ago? sorry xxx
That quilt pattern is called morning Star and sometimes sashed star. It's a very old civil war era pattern.
Happy Mother's Day!
I love your quilt. What is the name of that pattern?
Norma just wants to know her viewing public are watching her
Hi Kate, loved this video. The quilt, stories and your chatty style are lovely.
Just a tip - my quilting teacher taught me to leave my pins open, ready for next time. Use a large, spare pin cushion to store open pins, at the ready, instead of closing them after use.
Still binging your videos... regards from Oz.
good tip! and its not like I'm short of pin cushions! ha ha!!! That quilt still needs to be finished! YIKES!!! xxx
Great story , can't wait to see if you use a frame for your quilting or ??? No spoilers ...
Oh! crikey! that one ! I'd almost forgotten about that one! oops! xxx
The traditional source of Mothering Sunday is that they went back to their mother church. It has over the years become more about mothers than the church!
You use that lovely green on the back of many of your quilts. Which green is it? Is it a Kona cotton?
