Great stuff !
Hello Kate. I live in Redcliffe Queensland Australia and have recently discovered you. Recently retired, I have commenced a scrappy quilt and you keep me company while I sew. Thank you for your relaxing way of presenting your videos. I love Agnes's quilt and this one that I watched today.
Catching up on your videos, loving every minute, thank you for your time and expertise ❤😊
Kate, I just found you today. And I absolutely love you and your channel! I immediately subscribed. When I was a young girl my dad died quite suddenly and it was very hard for me. We had the sweetest neighbor down the road and the next day, she came to visit us, brought amazing chicken and noodles and goodies. And then she wrapped me up in the biggest, longest, most loving hug I've ever had in my life. That lost girl felt so loved at that moment and not so scared. I would go visit her after that and she would share her little projects with me. You remind me so much of her. I'm here, and I feel Eleanor's hugs all over again!! ❣
Hi Kate, I watch you regularly but have never commented. Today I just had to say something. Thank you for sharing about hand quilting. I am a quilter and have always hand quilted. I am glad there are long arm quilters for those who are unable to physically quilt but it has become the norm nowadays. It makes quilting too expensive to do for some. It also has become the norm to try and get as many quilts done as possible. I love the therapeutic aspect to hand quilting...falling into a rhythm and being in that moment. I love the process of lovingly adding depth to my fabrics and bringing life to my quilt. I love being able to weave love into each and every stitch.
I love how you said that. I feel the same.
@@judymckinstry8130 A kindred spirit 🤍
Same here. So much time to think when all is done by hand. Nothing negative towards machine quilters, but just love to do it the old way❤
I love crafting and dabble in lots. I like quilting but I don't think I will ever make many in my lifetime. I'm glad to see someone hand quilt because quilting on a domestic machine is really off-putting for me except for cushions and smaller pieces. I'm delighted someone has shown me that I don't need a big tapestry set up to quilt by hand. Sometimes I think we crafters are more addicted to the gadgets than the crafts themselves, me included, but I'm promising myself to change my ways.
I watch a lot of You Tubers and many of them do plugs for their sponsors. This was the most natural "ad" I have ever heard/seen. So typical of the LHH. The quilt is delightful!
I could spend all day just watching you hand quilt Kate, with a cup of tea and the beautiful background music. But then, I wouldn’t get anything else done! Lovely time with you. Thank you.
Kate, you are so blummin lovely, you are an oasis of calm and colour….thank you 💛🙋🏽♀️
Always a pleasure spending time with Kate.
This quilt is just a ray of sunshine and makes me smile when I see it. So beautiful! I enjoyed spending this time with you on the lime green sofa.
Thanks Kate. This catch up was just what I needed today. Things have been getting on top of me last few days, but sitting here, with a cup of peppermint tea, listening to you, and watching you quilt away is just the tonic I need. Bless you. X
Hurrah!
Hello Kate. Hello lime-green sofa dwellers.
Hello👋🏻TeresaSue.
Hello to you too!
"I quite enjoy how epic the task is." Food for thought in a world where we want quick outcomes, fast solutions, immediate gratification . . . And good for me to know as a friend from England just brought this kit to South Africa as a gift for me! Thanks for your channel content, Kate.
yes please ...starting and ending your threads......oh the seed quilt is fabulous. thank you for videos.!! you are wonderful.
I do wish I made more money to join patreon but living on Social Security doesn't allow for any spare money. That being said, I so very much appreciate the free videos that I can watch. Thanks for still showing the free videos. I learn a lot and just enjoy your calm demeanor.
@paulaberlund. I am also on Social Security and feel the same. There are so many channels that do some sewing/quilting but also push the BLOM and SewAlongs or monthly subscriptions it is very discouraging to see all the pretty things being done but not many patterns that are free or low cost. I do enjoy watching here, calming and interesting
@@janesturm I get a bit disappointed but I understand most of these channels are earning a living for these people. But as I get older, I feel more left out and invisible. I'm grateful for the free tutorials but I know there's better things if you can pay. Have a great day😀
@@janesturm Jane you are probably already famuarcwith the Missouri Star Quilting channel. They do lots of free tutorials. More than anyone else.
@@meatdog yes you are right. There are a few others and thank heavens. I am just getting back to quilting after a 10 year absence. Lots of new things and techniques but boy some of the prices. So I window shop a lot! Glad to have meet you, take care and see you back here from time to time.
@@janesturm you, too Jane. I was at my favorite quilt shop on Saturday and the prices are outrageous. Talk to you again soon. 😀
Kate I love that quilt. What a pleasure to watch you hand quilt. Thanks for being here and sharing your life with me.
Watching you hand stitch is one of the great joys in life. Thank you. 💜
Well, congratulations on the Aurifil collaboration! I recognized Agnes' quilt right away. How appropriate. Slow stitching and garden helpers. What a wonderful time. I am ready to be warm again. Happy stitching, Kate. Happy week to you too, Anna.
I'm a sucker for cute packaging 😍 well designed Rita, and Congratulations Kate on the Aurifil collab. I love the pace and mindfulness of hand quilting. Every stitch is vital to the whole piece, regardless of when it's done. Just like your planting trees, the results will come, and they'll be admired for years to come.
I stopped hand sewing years ago but thank you Kate, you have encouraged me to return to hand quilting. Thank you❤
Oh, Kate-what fantastic news about your collaboration with Aurifil!! You are a most amazing woman. I know that you will see all of those little baby trees that you and John are planting grow to become a magnificent grove at The Last Homely House, if not during your lifetime here, but from your eventual heavenly home🥰 Sending you much love from Placitas, New Mexico😘
Oh Kate!!! Aurufil sees your magnificence! I just cried with joy for you!
What a treat to see you again. I look so forward to being on the lime green sofa and I'm sharing my Sunday quiche with everyone as we watch.
Yum-yum.
😋 nom nom, so good 🥧
Yum! Thank you 😊
Delicious! Thank you for sharing with us all on the lime green sofa♥️
Thanks. I'm crocheting some pillows for the couch.
Good evening Kate, Oh what a wonderful thing to happen to you from Aurifil, i bet you were fair surprised at them wanting to make up a Last Homely House set of threads. I'm one of your weird followers that gets mesmerised by your gentle and calming voice, it is soft and easy on the ears (please, i don't mean to be rude and it isn't meant to be). I think i am more in your Mum's type of quilting with her more calming but i do enjoy coming to the lime green couch to see what marvels you are doing this week. I also love when John comes and shows what he has been making or whitling away at with his wood. When can we expect to see how Anna is getting on with her bonnie material? Isn't it so nice to get other people involved, especially when they are newbies to the various crafts, it must be infectious. See you back again soon. From Norah, Scotland
I have missed your videos. Thank you for the conversation and updates as well as hand quilting. Thank you.. we missed you on the line green couch
Watching you work on this gorgeous quilt and seeing your garden blooms is wonderful to me on this snowy day in BC, Canada. TFS
I stumbled across your site by accident. I am going to hang around for awhile I think. I have really enjoyed your sharing. You aren't rushing the process from what I have noticed. You don't get short of breath racing through the video. It's nice. It is like sitting there at your work area enjoying your next adventure. Thank you for sharing.
It's always so nice to spend a little time on Sunday afternoon with you.
Hello Kate,
So happy to have found your channel. I became so interested in embroidery, slow stitching and quilting. I wasn’t sure about the different aurifil threads and what thread worked best for each project and your thread box with 12wt and 50wt is exactly what I was looking for. I just ordered your thread box a few minutes ago! Can’t wait to receive it!
Thanks so much,
Kristyn ❤
Hello from west coast Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
What a gorgeous quilt!! I absolutely love all the beautiful colors and flowers. It is so enjoyable to watch you quilt and listen to the beautiful music. Thank you for sharing……………….😊
Congrats on the Aurifil collaboration. That quilt is sunshine on a cloudy day, with the promise of spring! I love it so much. I’m not a quilter - yet - but my knitting gives me that same peaceful feeling that you describe with your hand-quilting. I hope you had a beautiful day with a great audiobook. ❤
This is a lovely quilt, Kate! Thank you for sharing the making of it with us! The snowdrops are so beautiful - they are my favourite flower, because they are the firsts ones to blossom and signal that Spring is just around the corner. Have a wonderful week, sending hugs from Southern Ontario, Canada
What an honor to pair up with Aurifil Threads. I love big stitch quilting, so relaxing and I love the drape it gives the quilt. Take care Kate.
Hello Kate and everyone on the LGS….really enjoyed todays video…the fabric you are quilting is just beautiful…. Take care..Hugs Dottie xx
Bagels and cream cheese and tea on the lime green sofa while I watch and enjoy. Have a lovely week dear Kate.
So nice to see you again, Kate! I've been sorting out fabric, ribbon and lace all day, and there's no more perfect way to end the day and the week than with you and all of us at the lime green sofa - me with my crochet and a cup op tea. Have a nice week, Kate and thank you!
I just love your beautiful quilt, Ms. Kate! Such a beautiful flower garden.
Hi Kate, what amazing news to have an Aurifil box named after your channel, that is so wonderful! Congratulations! I always enjoy watching you make your quilts as a fellow quilter, I can appreciate all the work that is involved. Aurifil are my favourite thread too! Best wishes.
Been following for a few months now and learning to navigate around. Kate, I have so many interests and hobbies and you make me feel like I’m okay to be all over the place with several or many projects going at the same time. I do finish a lot of them. I live alone in a Barnhouse I built and your videos keep me company while I’m doing projects here at home in Washington State. Thank you for being you!
Hi Kate. I love your seed package quilt, and the way you work. Giving yourself permission to work as you like is awesome. Brings me peace. Love that you're planting for the future. Yours or others'. Life goes on. I really look forward to your posts. Lynn.
I love the quilt beautiful I love the colors I love flowers thank you for sharing I love it so lots of love and hugs to you and your family and happy happy sewing🪡🧵✂️💜🙏🤠
Kate, congratulations on the partnership, the box is definitely a fab-u-lous purchase and the design created by Rita is such a lovely idea ! Take care x
What a lovely relaxing video watching you quilt the beautiful quilt!! Enjoyed it immensely!!❤
Lovely to see you today Kate, missed you last week. The quilt is so pretty and colourful. Really like the materials. I have the chalk marker you have they are good aren’t they. I love your quilt box. Your garden looks very nice. Pleased you have some help again in your garden. Hope Anna’s quilt is coming along nicely. I cancelled my patreon subscription a while ago , when we were changing banks, due to bank closure. I must re set it up again. I guess I didn’t before, as I used to enjoy watching you sew, and at the time you were not doing as much. , but you seem to be doing the things you used to do again so thank you for that. Thanks Kate.
Hi Kate! I just started watching you and love all your videos!! I find you and the videos so calming and love all the information you share! Agnes’ quilt turned out beautifully!!!! I’ve just recently started EPP and love seeing all your projects and have learned so much from you! Also, I loved seeing all your late mom’s quilts! How wonderful to have those treasures!! Thank you for sharing!!!
I could watch Kate stitch for hours. I may slow the video down to make it last longer, lol! Beautiful colours in the quilt and threads x
Oh Kate I really enjoy sitting on your table and watching you work so peacefully. It certainly makes me feel so welcomed …I’m off for a cuppa now. See you again soon…lots of love Hilary xx
Hi Kate I just love your quilt it’s absolutely stunning . I hope you are keeping well. Take care hugs to you from me
Thank you for another delightful video. I am refurbishing my 1945 cottage in the mountains, and I look forward to a few minutes with you each week to relax with a cup of tea...Thank you again.
Good evening Kate~~~
I popped over to UA-cam to see if there was anything new and there you were. What a delight. I love visiting with you. It's like visiting with a cherished friend. So comforting. Good for you having a thread collection with your name on it. I went over to Epidemic Sound to listen to that song again. Wonderful. Have a blessed rest of the week and I'll look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
I get so happy when you post a video. It truly makes my day. I absolutely love Kaffe Fassett and this quilt. I wish you could make more videos but know your busy.

Such a peaceful, comforting, cozy time on the lime green sofa today!! That quilt is lovely! Congratulations on your collaboration on the aurifil thread box! It's beautiful!!
I am absolutely delighted to hear about your partnership with Aurifi. I started using this brand last year after watching your quilting episodes.
Thanks for the chat. Your thread box looks great. Well done.
I really enjoy watching your videos, just about to watch your Jaipur, India trip. To continue my previous message, we have a gentleman travelling with us this time, looking forward to meeting everyone on our trip, not long to wait now, getting excited!!
Oh how I’ve missed you, Kate! I think you’re such an inspiring ray of sunshine on these grey, wintry Upper Peninsula days!! You look amazing, too, great hair cut and your skin looks so fresh, dewy. It cracks me up when you talk about inches, because I’ve wished for years, in vain, that the US would convert to the metric system, but it’ll never happen. Also, your seed packet quilt is so beautiful! Kaffe fabrics are simply amazing! I’m going to pop on over to your shop and check out the threads. So glad to see you again, and hello to everyone on the lime green sofa!
I absolutely love your quilt! The pattern and colors are gorgeous!
This the prettiest quilt I’ve ever seen Miss Kate. Love the beautiful colors! Thanks for showing us how you quilt it! Love it!!
Hi Kate. Absolutely love this quilt. Your backing fabric is equally Gorgeous. Love the Aurifil threads. Thank you Kate.😊🪡🧵
What a beautiful quilt and many congratulations for your partnership with Aurifil. Good to see you again. We were getting a bit fidgety on the lime green sofa waiting for you.
How exciting to have the partnership with Aurifil! I have the Seed Packet kit from Kaffe and Brandon’s visit to North Carolina last fall, so I’ll definitely go and order your thread kit!
14:58 Amazing . Looks very therapeutic ❤
Love the sewing thread, Congratulations Kate,
I love your videos. I have learned a lot from you. You are amazing. Thank you

Sooooo pretty❤❤❤❤Love it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉sprouts happiness with its colors😊😊😊😊
It really is a lovely, vibrant quilt. Lovely to see you enjoying hand quilting, Kate. It is so relaxing.
What a joyful quilt, there is nothing quite so wonderful as a happy blooming garden, being either plant or fabric. The flowers are singing. Thank you for sharing. Always a bit of inspiration.
Thank you for this newest post. I love watching and learning from you
Have fun continuing to stitch on your beautiful quilt.
Beautiful quilt and lovely video! Thank you!

QUE VIDA!! QUE LUGAR!! QUE PARAÍSO! QUE TRABALHO LINDO! QUE VISÃO DE FUTURO MARAVILHOSA, PENSANDO EM PRÓXIMAS GERAÇÕES!! PARABÉNS E OBRIGADA POR EXISTIR, SRA. KATE!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Congratulations on the partnership with Aurifil!! Look how far you come! I remember when I found you and the Lime Green sofa was only a side chair! Love your videos and your whole crew. What a wonderful example of a family working together.
The seed packet fabric is fabulous 😘
Oh Kate, so happy for your newest endeavor with Aurifil. As a Cross Stitcher, we sometimes use that in our stitching. Good brand of thread. I admire you for the legacies you are leaving for your family, future generations, and your fellow countrymen. Your brain is always planning and creating. Love the music. Hope your day was wonderful., I know it was creative.
Kate, you are such a delight. I look forward to your videos. The quilt is beautiful. Thank you for inspiring me. Have a great week. Looking forward to the news letter. Take care.
I love this quilt so much! All the colours, all the flowers!!! 🌺🌸
Congratulations Kate on your partnership with Aurafil. Your quilt is beautiful.
Happy to see you Kate love all that you do 😊X
Lovely and relaxing as usual thank you. I have ordered my thread and look forward to using them. I have always used my machine to quilt, but l'm going to try hand quilting my latest make! With your lovely threads. 😍
You just put a smile on my face Kate, love visiting with you from Australia.
I was reminded of this quote: “Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

Kate love watching you work on your quilts. Thank you for sharing with us.
WOW! Kate you are at 89K Subscribers !!
I try to tell as many as I can about the channel. Some don't quilt but they find it very relaxing watching, destress for a while.
Congratulations on your first Aurafil collaboration!!! What a wonderful, well deserved partnership. Thank you Girl Rita!. Kate, enjoy stitching with your bright colors in the waning of winter. I'm using bright scraps to make a baby quilt with St. Louis 16 patches. Tomorrow I will mark it for big stitch quilting. I have learned that using 505 basting spray on small projects doesn't affect the ability to draw the thread through all the layers. Happy quilting!
So lovely to have you here again. That quilt is absolutely beautiful.
You need a refill for the white clover marker. 😊 do test the removal of the Bohr chalks. Some may be very difficult to remove. Just love the seed packet quilt and the quilt for your grand daughter 😊😊
Just ordered your beautiful thread box. Wanting to try slow stitching. Thank you for your wonderful videos, Kate
That quilt is just luscious!!!! I have not been tempted to quilt something by hand, but watching you do it is really tempting me! Love the box of threads!! Thank you Kate for another lovely video.
I am not exactly sure how to reply text you though!
