I can't explain how you make me feel like I can do anything. You explain in a way that no one else does. Thank you!
How exciting! After all these years you are finally starting the hand quilting. What a beautiful gift for Agnes. Not only this most fabulous quilt but a document of love and devotion. So nice. Thank you for sharing this.
What I love about Kate, is how she makes you feel like you are right there with her. Just a friend stopping by for a wee chat. The last homely house indeed!
Tienes mucha razón, nos hace sentir tan cómodos que es como si estuviéramos ahí con ella 😊
Miss Kate, thank you!! So lovely to feel at home with you on this Sunday. Agnes’s quilt and your cushions are beautiful. Thank you for inviting me into your Homely Home. Looking forward to a green couch chat.❤
I completely agree! Xx
Nice job, Kate.
How is your
Vertigo?
I agree!!
Hand stitched and hand quilted with love - what a wonderful gift from Grandma for Agnes to treasure all her life. Legacy work.
Hand
I always think that you can feel the love that’s been put into a hand-made gift. There’s certainly a heart full going into this beautiful quilt!
Definitely the right word, #legacy
I agree Chris!
Kate sews love into every stitch - what can be warmer than that …❤️
I was thinking the same thing…how much Agnes will treasure this quilt her whole life.
I found you just recently from watching Arne & Carlos . Where have I been? I'll tell you where. I have been feeling bad about how long I take making something, how different my process is from others and generally thinking "my way up the mountain" is somehow wrong. Well no more Kate, thanks to you. Just look at that beauty of a quilt hanging behind you that you have been lovingly working on for about three years. That right there is the beauty of crafting and I remember why I decided to polish up the skills my grandmother taught me. The peace that comes from the quiet and steady contemplation of working on something beautiful for home, family, and friends. Thank you again, Kate.
This was such a nostalgic video for me. I learned to hand quilt many moons ago. My parents are Mennonite and every Monday, my mother, grandmother and the kids would go to the church fellowship hall for quilting and lunch (and play time for the children before we were old enough for school). Some of the ladies enjoyed cutting and piecing the quilts. Others did the hand quilting. We used a large frame, open underneath, and the ladies sat around the frame and all quilted together. The quilt would be rolled in towards the center as they finished each side until it was done. The right hand was placed on top with the needle, and the left hand underneath to rock the needle back up. Amazingly, you could not tell the difference in the stitches of the ladies who sat around the frame. These ladies were seasoned hand quilters and all were able to stitch at the least - eight stitches per inch. That is quite hard to do as I learned when I tried my hand at it when I was older. One of my great aunts hand quilted for a living and her stitches were 12 to an inch!!
These quilts were sold at annual bazaars, and they were quite sought after. The money was raised for missions. The standards for piecing and quilting were high. My mother told me later after my grandmother passed, that at some point, my grandmother's eyesight was not great and her stitches grew inconsistent. But she loved going to sewing circle as they called it, and she wanted to contribute to the process. So, the wonderful ladies just let her keep quilting and someone would lovingly undo her stitches and redo them. She never knew that her stitching was becoming unacceptable for selling. I was so touched by that story.
Thanks for another special video. I think you chose the best quilting design although I like the Baptist Fan as well. Your sewing room is so inspiring and has great light.

How wonderful for Agnes to be able to watch how Grandma made her quilt, when she is older. ❤
Thank you Kate for teaching us about quilting and english paper piecing. You have infinite patience and are TOTALLY a master of your craft. Happy days☕🍩💞
Oh, Kate, The quilt and pillows are so so beautiful! Agnes will cherish them her whole life, and one day her children will be sleeping under all the love you put into every stitch. I have been searching for fabric to start my own hexagon quilt.
Have a wonderful week,
xoxo's Sandie
Such a wonderful gift. Not only will she be able to snuggle up in her quilt, she will be able to watch you make it but most importantly hear your thoughts of her while you stitch. 💕
Kate this might be one of my top 10 favorite videos of The Last Homely House. I have often sat watching the earlier videos of you working on the Agnes quilt and I thought to myself, how wonderful it is she will not only have the quilt you so lovingly made for her but also the videos. Every time I you smile at the thought of her makes me smile. I have enjoyed this project so much I thank you for bringing us along.

I just watch this video, Kate, and had tears in my eyes as you put the first stitches in Agnes' quilt. What a wonderful example of moving through a project with love and attention. I am inspired !
Hello Kate, For years I’ve wanted to do patchwork and quilting, but every time I tried to find a reasonably good way to do it, It seemed too complicated! However, now that I have discovered your wonderful channel, I am re-inspired and more confident about starting. I have acquired a pretty good stash of fabrics over those years so I’m just about ready to get started. You are so natural and down to earth with your presentation, which is really encouraging for hesitant, would-be quilters like myself! 🙂 Agnes is a lucky little girl to have the lovely quilt made for her by her talented Granny/Grandma. Thank you for sharing your talent and helpful ways to do all the😮 lovely things you make.
Kate, I feel so at home with you. I love to drop in to hear your chats with us. I’ve taught several children kindergarten through high school age how to English Paper Piece with large and small hexagons. We use our brown grocery bags as base paper and trace and hand cut everything. What a beautiful process! Little hands and fingers work so well and they get so good at every step. They even use the needle and thread. I’ve gotten the needle started in the fabric if they have trouble. The kids love the stack of fabric hexagons or squares or Dresden Plate pieces and play with them like puzzle pieces. Great sorting and matching skills learned. Thank you for sharing your love of EPP.
I love how you explain things, the penny drops every time and I totally get it. Thank you Kate 🤓 x
Kate, an epic journey indeed! Agnes will have an heirloom to treasure forever. ❤️
Thank you for taking us with you.
Love ya Kate
😘❤️🇬🇧
when I was an early teen in late 50s...the "pajama bag" that could be hung from the bedpost or used as a deco bed pillow was very popular....an idea could be that one of the sample hexie work can be used as a p. j. bag and the could be stuffed with a girl's pajamas each morning. I remember the bags were sometimes made/sold at dept stores with animal faces like a lion, puppy, or flower etc. be well!!❤
I remember those too! 🙂
I had a pyjama bag too. It was Pink with cream lace on it. Happy memories xx
I had a pJ case I think it was a blue bunny rabbit if memory served me right ❤
I was just thinking of those as I put my pajamas away yesterday. My aunt made them for myself and my two sisters. They were in the shape of a cat's head.

SO ENJOYED being taught paper piecing. DEFINITELY will try it. I love hand sewing ( including cross stitch and embroidery) making this another addition. PROUDLY said and with abundant LOVE, stitching Anges's quilt has begun. Just imagine...Anges will have the pleasure of watching Gramma stitching her quilt over and over. Timeless treasure! ❤
Love to watch you see love into that quilt.I am 67 now but started at 26 making my own quilts .I learned at age 16 by my mom how to quilt.We used 2 sheets with batting.I still have that quilt.Tge grandmother's flower garden was my 2nd quilt to make.No paper piecing just sewed the hexes together. I lived using different fabrics for each row.I hand quilted around each one.I still love that quilt.Time to give away that quilt to family t I enjoy.Please continue to encourage people to quilt.I just love watching you and will share with my friends your you tubes.I love your accent also as I am a southerner from Bessemer,Alabama with a southern accent.What a blessed day when Agnes gets her quilt from Geandma.
Everytime I put you on in my quilting room Kate I feel like we're sitting down together with a cup of tea to do some quilting. And yes it is a homely house. I particularly adore your windows with the sun coming in and your beautiful quilted curtains.I love the background music you play when we choose not to talk but just quilt. 😊
Love watching your cat as well. Basically I just love Everything! 😊 🇦🇺
Agnes quilt is gorgeous! She will cherish it all her life long, I’m sure! Thank you, Kate, for sharing so much of your craft with us. I love the envelope cushion method, also!

I love the sound of the needle going through the quilt ! So relaxing 😊
Thank you,Kate, for your patience with your beginning quilters. Even if one hasn’t ever quilted one can learn so many other life lessons like patience, integrity, love for family, sharing, teaching, to take pride in your work, to do your best, to give your expertise without saying,” THIS IS ONLY THE CORRECT WAY OF DOING THIS, and so many more examples of a Christian life. I would love to live near you and call you “friend” . You may live thousands of miles away from Cape May, New Jersey, USA, however, I will call you “ friend”. Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilting talents. I love you blue and green hexagon quilt for your granddaughter . It reminds me
Straight grid. I knew it! That’s what I would have done too! ❤️. Hint, if you cut some hexagons in HALF and EPP these on the sides, you will have a straight edge. I’ve done this before. 😇
Absolutely fascinating- all the steps that go into making a quilt……I had no idea. Never again will I lament at the cost of a hand made quilt. Thank you for teaching us.
If only we could get paid the true value of being hand made artisans. I encourage people to take time to think about the value of textiles and valuing all those of us who are makers and creators.
How extra special it is to carry the quilting over onto the backs! I usually quilt only the top, and don’t even sandwich the back of the pillow, but I’ll try this way. Good idea!!
Love the String of Hearts and the Trancendetia hanging in the background
Thank you again, for a lovely time to relax with a cup of tea and learn something new. Agnes will be covered with love when she sleeps under this beautiful quilt! I appreciate the time you take to explain the processes for each craft you do. I have now started my own EPP of hexagons for a quilt. Thank you for the encouragement.
Oh Kate, there are no most amazing words to explain your style and explanations o what your do or how you do it. Thank you for ALL you do, I love it all.
Good Golly Miss Molly....I would have never thought of joining all pieces of the pillow's construction into one long piece...this was a great revelation/idea...thank u soooo much for a great time today at "Last Homely House." gr-granny NM
Agnes' quilt is so beautiful! It inspired me to make one much like it with Tula Pink fabrics, only smaller. I used every hexagon I could get out of the fabric I had, so I have an extra hexagon in a couple of the corners, and then I ended up doing a reverse applique of border fabric strips and mitering the corners of the strips together. I'm in the process of hand quilting a flower design using the seam lines to outline the flower and centers. That gave me the idea for the next hexagon quilt in Kaffe Fassett fabrics that I want to arrange into flower blocks by color. Thank you Kate for the inspiration!
Another great video on my Sunday Evening. The whole day I just wait for the moment, where the number "1" says, that Kate sent a video. Today I'm most happy, because I'm sewing hexagon pieces together - the first 195 pieces for my great grandchild to come. It looks so easy, when you make the quilting - in a total different way, than I learned, when I startet 23 years ago. I love to follow your patchwork-videos, and I 've learned a lot of new ways to do things - but i enjoy totally, when you make video from your every day, you look so relaxed and calm and happy with your family. I agree with the other women in the comments, what the say, so maybe I'm becoming a member of the Limegreen Sofa society (hope it's spelled right). Take care each and everyone. Thanks to Kate for a wonderful evening - much love and bliss.
Because of you, I now have my own "Agnes" quilt in process altho half the size. All the hexes are done and are on my design board waiting to be stitched together. I'm taking quite a few to my coming knit camp in the Rocky Mountains. My knitting friends are always a bit surprised when I bring hand sewing with needle and thread in addition to knitting. The quilt, Kate, is gorgeous. You are a rare find and a real inspiration to me.
My sister (mostly a quilter) and me (mostly a knitter) are going on the “Kate cruise” with her and Arne & Carlos in March 2024! Like you, we thought it would be extra fun with fiber and fabric both in the mix!
Thank you Kate, I've learnt so much from your videos, beautiful quilt and lovely combination of colours. You're such a warm, friendly person and make everything seem so easy, really look forward to the videos and enjoy the peaceful music in the background.
Kate, the cushions are grand! But most of all, seeing you start to take the first stitches in the quilting of Agnes' quilt was joyful! When you showed the quilting on the cushions I thought, " oh! I hope she goes with the grid quilting!" It suits the hexies so well. So exciting, thank you for taking us along on this amazing journey with you💖🤗

I have learned a lot from Kate and am so thankful. This is something I would love to make. I am going to try and find the paper cutter or one like it here in the states. I love the freedom of putting the fabric blend together slowly and truly enjoy what I call slow stitching. When I was in high school one winter I hand stitched a quilting outline around every border block of the white fabrics to show off my Grandfathers quilt top that he sent me to the wadding. I never lost the love of slow stitching and this will give me a big project to work on for a good long while. I love the way you teach and how you put together the pillows. You are a good kind soul Kate!
What a thoroughly pleasant 33 minutes❣️ Thank you, Kate for being so willing to share your insights and tips.

Kate, I have no words... but then this is a comment!!!! I wish I was your granddaughter Agnes. Such a labour of love and the result is just gorgeous. As if seeing this beautiful quilt wasn't enough, you took us on the journey and generously taught us all so much on the way. I am brand new to quilting and you are both inspirational and educational. Thank you!
Kate Agnese, s quilt is FABULOUS She will treasure that her whole life as love was sewn in every stitch ❤💙💜💕
👁👁 Just recently heard about EPP. Had no clue what it was. Now I do. What a wonderful way to make a quilt. You are such a joy to listen to. So calm and pleasant. You inspire peace and joy which we need so badly in this age of disruption. Thank you.
Thankyou for the lovely evening sitting on your green couch, Agnes s quilt is really beautiful, I’m just trying to finish off odds and ends before I venture into hexagon, here in Canada it’s July 26 2023 , my tomatoes are coming on good ! And my lavender has done well too , I find it so relaxing in your company , God Bless keep up the great works of art ,thankyou
Another lovely half hour spent with a very special friend! Thank you so much Kate for your inspiration and encouragement! The cushions are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see Agnes’s quilt finished - a true heirloom! X

Thank you for taking us on this epic journey; it was delightful to come along. Agnes’ quilt will surely be a treasure from her grandmother - knowing that your hands touched every piece of fabric and thread of the quilt is priceless. ❤
Your cushions are lovely, it's good to see how to finish off the edges. Enjoy, peacefully, quilting Agnes's fabulous quilt-- English paper piecing takes a long time but oh it is so worth it when you finish.
Your work is beautiful! I love your grass roots style...all hand stitched with loads of love from your heart with your creative hands. Agnes will cherish this lovely quilt forever. 💞
Yes Kate!
Grid stitch is great choice!
There is a vast difference between those of us who suggest how WE would do it....
And you Kate, who gets the job done and has something SPLENDIFOROUS to share with the world.
Lovely that we are able to enjoy your productivity!!!
I am always so impressed by the easy and speed of your hand quilting. No hoop or frame to turn or roll to slow you down, just brilliant. I admire how you have set up your space to accommodate the way you work. Such a lovely work of art and love for Agnes. Thank you so much for sharing this journey.
Amazing project! Congratulations on your accomplishments so far! I am in awh of your skills ❣🤗

Thanks, Kate, for inviting us to your home, and showing us how you do all these wonderful creations. Beautiful.
Hi Kate, this video is a lifesaver! I had so much fun making the hexie pillow UNTIL I couldn't figure out how to do the edges! Thank you so much! Agnes' quilt is spectacular.
Thanks for your detailed finishing techniques. I was really stuck on how to finish off my hexagon epp project. Especially making it into a half hexagon on the zigzag edge. Now you have shown it, it makes so much sense and a really neat finish. My project is nearly 50 years old. I finally finished piecing the top during the first covid lockdown in 2020. It has been patiently waiting for me to decide how to finish it. Thanks to your inspiration, Kate, I can.😊
You are an absolute inspiration 🙏.
I hope I can progress to a good standard after binge watching so many of your helpful tutorials x thank you very very much 🤗
Such a treasure! We will be sad when you are finished, but Agnes will have a lifetime of happy Grandms memories to go with her quilt!

I very much appreciate this tutorial in case I’d want a straight line edge for finishing a hexagon quilt. I just happen to love how the geometric edges of the finished ‘squares’ look, so I will be doing a hand-stitched appliqué to a border, so I keep all of my hexies intact. Just like Kate says, they’ll all look awesome. Whatever floats your boat!! 🙂🙂🙂
Kate thank you for sharing Agnes’ quilt with us stage by stage. Definitely a gift of love
Can’t help but watch you! You are sweet! I am sewing a quilt as you go quilt for my brother and live watching you. I have never done EPP but who knows, maybe I will one day.
As always Kate, thank you for all your care and sharing with us! Agnes will be enjoying that quilt for decades.

Such a joy to watch, as always, Kate….it’s like therapy…very relaxing. I prefer envelope backs when I make my cushions. ( also not a fan of zips) I actually dug out my hexi templates this morning….. the last time I used them was when I made a quilt for my daughters single bed, she was about 8 years old…she is now 49 !!!!! Thanks for this treat Kate..take care. Hugs Dottie xx
English paper piecing is on my bucket list!
Thank you, Kate, for including us as you made this quilt for Agnes. What a treasure!
Hello Kate. Thank you for reminding me about EPP. It’s been years (many decades!) since I did it. I do a lot of free motion quilting for family projects but after finishing a project with the sewing machine screaming and me at steaming point I need something quiet and tranquil to do. I’ll be taking up this again for my quieter times. Happy sewing.
Although I only found you recently, I have watched your entire journey in the making of this amazing quilt and cushions as well as all the videos I can find. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy all of them. I have sewn all of my adult life, but am new to quilting. I think I would like to try the hexagon also. I have done a lot of English Smocking and Embroidery in the past, so I know that I love hand sewing. In the back of my mind, I have wondered if I could do a small quilt with different blocks of Smocking. Not sure that is a good idea or not. I am 73 and still have so many things to try. Please keep the videos coming. I have another quilting friend hooked on watching you also. I am twice widowed, have two grown sons, a daughter in law and a granddaughter who is almost 25 who is a registered nurse studying to be a physician's assistant. I have had my 97 year old aunt with me for over a year, so don't always get to all the things I want to do. Take care, Kate and God bless you and your family... Gloria from NE Tennessee in USA..
You’re an angel. I am just at this point on a Liberty hexie pillow cover. I muddled through one before, edging it with half hexies, hand stitching the backing, diagonal quilting, and well, it came out nicely. BUT I really like how you are putting these together. Now as soon as I clear off the kitchen table…😂
This was so interesting. Your hand stitching is beautiful. Thanks.
I just finished a hexagon throw quilt top last year. It was on a basic 3 patterned fabric, made to look like flowers.
It’s STILL a quilt top as I just can’t decide how to quilt it. I keep thinking of taking it to a quilt shop to have them machine quilt it, but I would be so disappointed that all that handwork putting the hexagons together would be “ruined” by using a machine quilter.
I absolutely adore the watercolor feel of Agnes’ quilt in the background, as well as your explanations of how you pieces it and will be quilting the larger blanket.
Wish I had seen these videos BEFORE I started my hexagon quilt. Such a WEALTH of information ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful quilt for Agnes! That is truly a work of art. A perfect project to have to work on over the coming cold weather months. It would certainly take me many months to hand quilt it!! Priceless!!!
Awesome Kate I have been waiting for this because I have a table runner and love the grid AWESOME AS ALWAYS
What a lovely set this is! Agnes will make such fond memories growing up 🥰

It is going to be so wonderful when finished! I love how easily you do the hand sewing. I have a piece I began about 30 years ago. One day, perhaps I’ll pick it back up. I think I was too focused on tiny stitches. Now my eyesight is 30 years older, too. Thank you for always being a calm and soothing presence on my Sunday afternoon, Kate. ❤
Happy Sunday!
Those cushions are gorgeous. Agnes’s quilt is stunning. I love the colours.
Oh Kate this video was awesome. When you took those first few stitches into Agnes ‘ quilt I was so excited. I felt like I was right there with you. How wonderful. Yay 🎉 I also laughed so hard when you said “ if I had an overlocker” and then said “of course I do. It’s upstairs in the cupboard “😂 I know so many of us felt that for sure ! Hugs
Wow!!! Thank you, Kate, for all of your wonderful tips. It makes me want to start a hexagon quilt. I love quilting and hand stitching and I think a hexagon quilt would be just perfect.
I am so glad I found you!! I have just started my paper piecing project. Watching you do it looks so easy....I hope mine looks half as good as yours when I finish it. Thank you for all the tips and sharing your vast knowledge with us, it is so appreciated! I will follow all of your videos now that I have found you!! 73 living in North Carolina USA.
Stunning quilt Kate. I've enjoyed every video about this quilt.
Kate you make me feel guilty when I see you handstitching your work. Wow stunning. Awesome colour and fabrics. Thanks for sharing the pillow tutorial
Hello Kate, it was so thrilling to watch you begin the quilting of your 3-years-in-the-making Epic quilt! Vicarious though it was, I truly felt the great satisfaction of arriving at that phase of the quilt making. Thank you for the lovely pleasure of watching you make Agnes's amazing keepsake (while I sit on the Lime Green sofa--I must dust off the crumbs!) and Congratulations!
I have so enjoyed watching all things Agnus's Quilt. It s a master piece.
Hi - Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed this series - but particularly the quilting designs content. It's rare to see hand quilting ideas and testing, which ia a real shame - so thank you. I now have some ideas for my never ending 1" hexagon project :). More please? I also like the piecing, design and technique content - we can always learn something from each other - or just enjoy watching someone who shares a similar love.
It was so nice to hear that it has taken you over 3 years to create this quilt. I have made a queen size quilt, hand sewn and quilted with large rhombus , creating beautiful stars. It took me 4 years of off and on stitching time. It is one I’m most proud of. I love the slow stitching process I also enjoy spending quiet time with you.
I Love hand quilting best!
You show things in such a calm and logical way that I find you really inspiring, Kate! I have not done any quilting but see things like cushion covers as a possible starting point. Thank- you!
What a lovely video. I have loved watching your journey on Agnes’ quilt as I truly do love EPP. Thanks for sharing all of this with us. Enjoy working on the quilt……………….
I like your idea of looking at ALL the ways of doing something, especially when we are talking about crafting and sewing. Not everyone's eyes or hands work the same. One way might suit them better than another.
Enjoyed the process very much, Kate. It doesn't seem like 3 years have gone by already. Agnes is going to love her quilt and cushions fo many, many years. Thanks for ordering more puzzles. I really must have one for my birthday. Enjoy your week. See you next Sunday.
No wonder quilts are quite expensive to buy, it is quite a fiddle with all the safety pins! But quite calming too. This is the first time I have ever seen this being done, so thank you Kate for being so clear in your teaching. I love the grid, which you have chosen for lovely Agnes's quilt. Love your two cushions. When Agnes is a little older, she can watch how her wonderful, talented, patient Grandma made her quilt for her. What a thing to treasure. Thank you for this lovely video Kate, from sunny Devon. xxx
Lovely and inspiring! I found your videos through Arne and Carlos as a knitter and picked back up EPP after 20 years. I am truly inspired and can’t wait to jump back in and explore the possibilities! Thank you for your videos and wonderful hand quilted content!
I like the grid best. It adds the YIN to the YANG. Great balance. Beautiful work Kate❣ Thank you so much for sharing these steps.
Both stitch patterns are beautiful! I do like the grid one you chose for the quilt for Agnes. Such a lucky little girl to have a quilt from her Grandma to cherish forever. All hand stitched. Amazing!! Wonderful video, thank you!!
I love the straight line grid hand stitching for Agnes's quilt. It got my vote when you did the poll. Happy stitching Kate, it's a wonderful quilt. 🌼
after stitching my quilt pieces of 1030 hexs, my hands were sore for weeks, so i’m watching you hand quilt, i know my hands couldn’t take it…but i loved having the project of hand stitching them together….right now i’m making Barbie clothes for my granddaughter, and then back to quilting soon&
OH my gracious, I am just catching up with your videos on EPP because I have been researching it of late. I so appreciate your teaching and ideas as to finishing. I love the pillows and the quilt!. I do enjoy hand stitching and have been working on a Dear Jane on and off for 20 years. I now have some ideas as to how I want to finish some of the blocks for Dear Jane while I also want to try some EPP. Thank you so much!!
You make it look so easy Kate
I’m not a quilter, bu,t how lovely to watch your skills and just chill, thanks Kate.
Kate , I just loved this video!! It reminded me of the wonderful feeling I always got when you first started the quilt. Deciding which small pieces were to go on a particular part of the quilt was always fun, and watching the “stream” develop , you’d place the piece and I would agree wholeheartedly where it belonged. Agnus is a very blessed little girl to have such a wonderful grandma who has taken such care building this magnificent artwork! I feel blessed to have witnessed your journey. Thank you so much 😂❤
Hi Kate thanks for the cushion tutorial. Agnes's quilt looks amazing. I can see it's a lot of pleasure for you to stitch. Agnes will love that forever. Another episode of inspiration 🙂
I just love watching your videos. Very relaxing and informative - all of them! I just came through the other side of Hurricane Ian here in Florida. So lucky that we had minimal damage but stressful just the same. And no water, power, phone or internet for several days afterward. I knew the best way to relax and unwind after all the cleanup and stress was to watch your latest videos that I missed. Thank you for making these and for making it feel like a friend is talking to me and teaching me this and that. Thank you.
I've reached a point where I just want to slow down a bit, yet still create. I decided to start EPP. Your videos have been so helpful and informative. I truly appreciate all you do to help me better understand this 'new to me craft'. 💕
It's such a beautiful quilt and I have loved every second of spending time "with" you whilst you constructed it.
