  • You might have seen the neon video? You almost didn't because iMovie decided to behave very badly and would not allow me to upload it as I have easily uploaded scores of videos before . Only a UA-cam search after many many frustrating hours provided the solution that worked.
    While it was working, I covered a box with fabric to stop myself from exploding with frustration. You get to come along for the ride!
    Lucky you

    I expect that you won’t likely see this comment, given that this video is 2 years old. However, I’ve been watching a few of your older videos in the middle of the night lately. I recently broke my elbow and can only manage sleeping for two hours at a time, Tonight my lineup consists of colourwash liberty quilts, this one, and neon is next. I find your voice to be like a warm hug. I hope that doesn’t sound weird! .
    Thank you, Kate, for keeping me company in the middle of a restless night. 💜
    Stay well!

    I felt immediate relief for you when you mentioned the freshly brewed pot of coffee. Something about coffee, rainy days, bad moods; they just go together with a crafting "frenzy". How awesome is the internet that we can watch you work through it. Nice bit of brush work with the glue and sort of stabbing at those bits of fabric.

    My Dearest Kate,
    Those of us that have been with you since the beginning , love tour videos just as you do them. We love the quirky sense of humor and realism of your videos. Sadly one of the realities of getting a large number of subscribers,is that you often get haters. People whose lives are so terrible that they feel the need to try to bring down others who have found joy and success in what they do!
    Pay these haters no mind Kate, you keep doing YOU, as that is why we subscribed to you to begin with.

    Hi Kate. I started binge watching your videos last night and came across the ones of the EPP dog. I have tried EPP in the past with hexagons, and it nearly drove me crazy. But over the last winter I had total knee replacement surgery, and I started doing some small project hand quilting. I found that I quite liked being able to sit and do a hand sewing project and not always sitting at my sewing machine or standing at my longarm. So when I came across your EPP dog, I decided to try it. So far, I have seven of the squares basted and am enjoying it very much. And as soon as I can get everything together, I’m also going to make a journal using your method. Quilting and reading will always be my favorite ways to spend my time, but I am enjoying learning and trying new things from your videos. I’m from Louisiana USA.

      Looks like both of you and I are doing the same thing, binging on old videos. Fairly new to Kate’s channel, and I’m loving it. And I always thought EPP would be too hard and frustrating, but Kate convinced me to try it as well. I recently started my own hexagon quilt about a month ago and I’m loving it too.!
      Kate has inspired me to start a lot of new things. See you on the limelight green sofa. 😊

I don't have an editing program, I don't even have a camera, like you did I use my iPad, my phone, and my SLR...and really I don't have clue what I am doing.
    In desperation I sat down in my studio yesterday, tore through every drawer and container I own and made some of my dress cards. I made enough to send some birthday greetings, but the mess in my studio lingers.... Love your box idea...have done that with boxes and containers...
    Talk about tearing ones hair out...every time you lift that gorgeous box of Liberty scraps...my hands travel to my head!

    You and I touch hands across the miles. Here in Colorado Springs, Colorado, we too have a rather dreary day. Spitting water and turning it into ice and snow. And today, my four cats are staying in, just like yours. We’ve been finishing up some housework. I laugh at how cats offer to fold socks, but are bewildered when they can’t.
    I’m a new subscriber and align with your common sense and wisdom. I love the Liberty fabrics! I’m currently working on a Birthday quilt for a dear friend and a baby quilt for a baby boy due in late summer. This baby will be another wonderful friend’s second Great-Grandchild. And that’s a clue to the fact that my friends and I are enjoying gray hair and wrinkles. *Sigh*

    What a way to get your frustrations out - make something. I'll have to take your advise. My brother's advise to me when I was frustrated and vented to him one day. He said for me to go down to the river by my house and scream. I think that would have scared the wildlife that hangs out by this river. Don't want them to leave. So, I could do a silent scream and watch the river flow by to relax my frustrations. I'm thinking he was saying you need to take a break and remove yourself from the situation and find something lovely to look at. Maybe? Well, that is what I find that you do. Take a negative and make it a positive. I'm learning. Thanks for sharing!

      melanie settle yes, you be kind to those critters! Most frustrations are about nothing important when you look back.... there is so much suffering in the world, I don’t need to add to it with my petty problems! Xxx perspective! ❤️

    Bonus video indeed! We do the same thing Kate when the universe, especially the technology universe, is thwarting us. Head for the craft table and pick up a lovely work in progress or begin a new one. Something to soothe jangled nerves and keep us from solving the problem with a hammer. Although hammering is very satisfying isn't it. I just picture myself doing it, and it helps with the frustration. Molly always knows when I'm feeling bonkers, she sits beside me ... at a safe distance. Glad things resolved themselves and I love the box. Best from Molly and me.

    I just found you quite by accident. I cannot describe to you how refreshing it is to see the simple type of life you live and how calming it is for me to watch your life. I envy you! My life is very complex and busy. Not to say that you are not busy, it is just that time for artsy stuff is few and far between. The main reason I am writing you is to tell you that you have inspired me to get out my grandmothers quilt top that I have had for maybe forty years tucked away and sandwich it and quilt it. It is not square, it was hand pieced in her later years, but I have wanted to do this project for much too long. Thank you for making me feel like I can do this, and I actually I finished the binding tonight! It was a hot mess, but it is finished....and that gives me such pleasure.

      Brightcreek well, first of all ..... GOOD! However hot the mess is, you finished it! And now you must USE it and enjoy being kept warm by those lovely memories!
      But more important, don’t envy me, your life is your own magical journey with its own joys and challenges. I don’t turn the camera in when I’m having a nap! 😂😂😂❤️❤️ much love xxx

I love your choices in music, content, etc. You work so hard to give us such fun and you are so inspiring to me and others. I've learned so much from you, had so many laughs. It is wonderful to be able to share your life. Your new box looks like a castle to me. Liberty Castle Box.....Keep up the wonderful work!!!

    Hi Kate, I’m enjoying this bonus video and am glad you decided to post it. You asked what we are up to. Well I am tidying out my merino wool rovings having decided to have another bash at wet felting which I tried first a few years back. It leads me to the question. Have you ever tried wet felting or needle felting? I imagine you have as you are so multi talented and I know you love wool.
    Your box was great and has given me an idea for covering some old box files. 😊x

      @thelasthomelyhouse  5 років тому

      Oh please do and be sure to film that! I know I would learn such a lot from watching your methods. I have found that It’s not a subject that is heavily featured on UA-cam compared to other crafts like quilting, knitting and crochet etc. So your take on the subject would be most valuable. 😁xx

    Frustrations come to me easily with aging, I had lots of patience when I was younger 😫.
    I have a dresser with a inset on the sides that I want to apply a large floral print to stand out still looking for one that catches my eye.
    And yes your backboard is very interesting, can wait to see what you’re up too. Your music choices are never a issue, enjoy the mix.
