Kate.....here it is 2024 and still there are new comers to your lime green sofa...me being one! Thank you for all you do! Melody from North Carolina
Hands! Aren’t hands the most wonderful thing. Sewing ,quilting,pottery, loving a baby or a son or daughter,gardening, petting a cat or two or three ...., making a book, cooking whatever wonderful thing comes from your kitchen, driving to the long arm quilter or the candle maker............ even pulling weeds..... love watching the work of your hands. You are such an inspiration
Cotton makes GREAT washcloths 💚💜💙
I'm in California but there have been no cases in my county. Our markets are suffering from all kinds of outages of products in spite of that. I wish I could say the hysteria is hysterical but it isn't! In spite of all that craziness, we are experiencing the MOST BEAUTIFUL blue sky with gorgeous white puffy clouds today and a lovely 70 degrees!! I've been going about my usual routine - which as a retired widow who is an extreme introvert and hermit means that I'm not worried about all the hype! My kids all live in the same town as me and so no worries for me. And I have my dogs - albeit aged ones! The sunshine quilt is glorious! I like the idea of the green fabric border on the label. I have tons of crochet and knitted wash cloths that are in my gifting stash - but they're definitely something I like to make when I need a palate cleanser or don't know what to do next or if I'm anxious. The quilt you made that had the purple pillows - I LOVE that one!! The bowlful of Norma at the end was my favorite!! I for one am looking forward to when we can once again greet our fellow humans be they friend, foe, strangers or loved ones with a handshake, hug or kiss (when appropriate)!! Be well, all!!
Oh dear Kate....gratitude books are ANYTHING but airy-fairy! I personally know 3 people who were saved from suicide by beginning and keeping to gratitude journals...in some cases for years.
February 7 2024 Maryland USA: Wonderful attitude back then to have had. Especially the lime green sofa! I so wish I had known of your site then to begin my creative processing that is going on with your incredible encouragement. I did get yesterday a purchase for the EPP for a 12” pillow and idea to embroider on the muslin bag something that my granddaughter have loved watching since she was a toddler. I little pond near us that if you are lucky to stop at the traffic light near it she was able to watch. For many years it would be “Are the two ladies there?” That is what we called the swans. Always just two. Well for a few years we have not seen them and she is twenty years old. Last week she pulled over when she saw two swans. She took a photo and sent it to me with the text “Nana our two ladies are back”. Eighteen years ago we began looking for the two ladies. So I am going to embroider two swans on it.
When I grow up,I want to be you! I want to be able to quilt,knit,make pottery,do all kinds of art work,make books,garden,make delicious soups and the list goes on.
Yes, mine thoughts aswell!
Me too!
Me too for sure
Absolutely
Yes, at 74 almost 75 I still have some growing up to do. What an adventure!
Well, that was much needed chat on the sofa, the tea was perfect and the company was very much needed today. Having an attitude of gratitude is so important, especially in today's world, right now. Weather permitting I'll be getting out into the garden this week, even planning on growing extra for neighbors. Take care friends, until next time....☕❤️
I love how involved your family is with your projects. Everyone is so talented. You are blessed.
Thank you for normal content. I did a gratitude journal for almost a year and it changed how I look at things. I just started this week a “blessings from corona” writing each day what are some of the blessings that have come my way because... spending time at home.
Long ago and faraway our family had a Series of Unfortunate Events. In order to get my head on straight and recover I went on a retreat. This was at a convent. While there I became determined to find the blessings in my life and I counted them out on a rosary. By the time I finished the retreat I was able to list three blessings for every bead! This quote might help some people. " the absence of light causes Darkness.... darkness is not an indication that there is no light. Most often, it simply means we are not in the right place to receive the light... For change to take place, we need to actively let the light in." This quote is from Dieter F. Uchtderf. I hope this helps bring in a little more light into our lives. Thank you for bringing to mind the simple joys Kate.
Oh just think of all the projects that can be taken out of the cupboard and completed whilst this virus runs its course. Today, I'm grateful for the beautiful sunshine!
Hello Kate. I’ve only been watching your vids for a cpl weeks but wanted to tell you how fascinated I am with everything you do. You’re very talented in so many things! I used to garden in my younger years, canning & freezing a lot of veggies. Cannings a lot of work! I have crocheted for 40+ years, starting when I was in the military back in the 70s. I taught myself to hand piece and hand quilt back in the 90s and last year starting sewing quilted items on my vintage sewing machine I bought in 1977. So far I’ve only made table runners, placemats and wall hangings. I don’t have a table big enough to put a bed quilt together on and can no longer get down & up from the floor so don’t know if I’ll ever make a big quilt. I just finished a smaller version of your flying geese quilt and it’s hanging above my sofa. It was fun but a lot of work what with all the ironing, cutting, sewing, ironing, cutting, sewing, etc. Whooee! Oh and I also have 2 cats, brother & sister. 😊 Every day I’ll be tuning in to see what you’ve been up to. Stay safe & virus free!
Forgot to say I ordered all your books & it’s taking a while to get them across the pond here in Ohio but I know you sent them. I can’t wait to read them.
Beautiful colours in the knitting cotton. Love the socks. So lovely to see gorgeous Baby Agnes. The quilt looks fab. Such troubling times but not to panic, stay calm and knit on the virtual sofa and enjoy your lovely company Kate. Take care Friends xxxxxxx
You are just the ticket for these times and I appreciate your calmness. I believe we attract what we give our attention to, so I try to stay as positive as possible. (I wasn't always this way, folks! People can change.) Love the idea of using the little book as a gratitude journal. I just read that you can also add something about yourself you are grateful for and it helps build self-esteem. Nice to see Martha and Agnes as well!
If we were looking for a silver lining to this Corona Black Cloud, one might be that it may help some people learn to enjoy a little mindfulness..... cooking a meal at home (instead of going thru a drive thru and eating in the car), enjoying a hands on project (that should have been finished long ago, but we were too busy), playing a board game with the kids (which we're normally too busy to do), sitting in the spring sunshine, etc. Maybe some stressed/rushed people will realize that slowing down is not such a bad thing, and that making another dollar is not the most important thing. Keep making your lovely videos, which remind us about those sorts of slow enjoyable things in life.
when my mom passed away, she had over 100 knit dishcloths stored away...us kids got to have them, and I treasure them! if I should ever need anymore, it's the only thing I knit. thank you for your visit! I so look forward to it! love & Blessings from MN/USA
My mom knitted or crocheted constantly. The day before she died she laid her crocheting down and didn't pick it up again. I'd never seen her do that before. We had so much stuff that she had made we didn't know what to do with all of it.
Cat in a bowl.......preciousness
Interesting...I've enjoyed comments from both a friend in Slovenia and you in England today. Around the world we're all united in making wise choices, remaining calm and staying virus-free. Opportunities abound to slow our pace if necessary, revisit our favorite quiet endeavors and reflect on life's priorities. Blessings can be hidden in the most unexpected situations. Here's hoping all our surprises in the coming weeks are happy ones! Loved everything about your video today, Kate.
Nothing brings joy quite like a baby...Agnes is beautiful! And the sunshine quilt..gorgeous! We had a lovely spring day today and I did get outside to sit in the sunshine for awhile...took some deep breaths in the midst of the craziness....yes, it will pass, and I guess it will be better to wonder if we did too much rather than be sorry we didn't do enough. Things are fairly normal here (yes, the grocery store stuff !!) but we are a state of huge spaces and few people, so hopefully we have some distances built in. I'm just hanging close to home, which isn't hard...sooooo much on my to do list now that my new hip is well on the mend. LOVED the garden video....thanks for such a soothing visit today!
My daughter is self-isolating with a nasty cough and high fever. I am deemed "vulnerable" with several medical conditions and an electric wheelchair. Thank you SO much for providing me, as always, with a happy distraction.
Thank you. take care xxx
God bless you my dear friend. I love all your videos. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful things in your life. Love to listen to your chats, ideas, etc. There needs to be more people like you in this old world. Thank you for being you. You're the best. Hugs, love, and most of all, God bless you and yours. 😊❤❤
I love your suggestion of a gratitude book!! Gosh, I could fill one up in no time at all! Today I'm thankful for my husband who is downstairs doing the hoovering and cleaning up the kitchen. He keeps jugs of freshly-made iced tea in the fridge for me which I love! My Southern American side coming through! (Mississippi born, southern raised, living happily ever after in England!) I'm thankful that our church has decided to be wise and close for the time being. I'm VERY thankful for our dear daughter & son-in-law who live a few miles away and are happy to do our grocery shopping. He's doing that for us today for the first time. I'm thankful for the beautiful grandson, Elijah, that they've given us. From a tiny preemie at 24 weeks and just 1 1/2 lbs, he's now a tall, slender, healthy two-year-old who makes us laugh. Is that 4 or is it 5? And I'm thankful for our neighbours in the house adjoining ours who dropped a note through our door yesterday with their mobile numbers and an offer to go and pick up anything that we might need. Who could ask for better? Now that the schools have closed, I'm sure we'll be hearing lots from next door. Their children are 4 and perhaps 7. They're noisy, but then I suppose we may be too, sometimes! And a sixth thing for which I'm thankful: the Lime Green Virtual Sofa and its hostess, Kate from the Last Homely House. Thank you, Kate. xx
Both commissioned quilts are stunning! Over the summer, I will attempt to make the Coptic bound books for my grandchildren. They all journal, create music, and draw. They are amazing and I enjoy creating special things for each of them. Keep creating, Kate! You continue to give me new and exciting ideas for my own projects! I am forever grateful! Stay safe!
As you're talking about your electricity, you're tapping yourself with your knitting needle! I'm laughing and laughing cause I have caught myself doing the same thing! Why do I find that so amusing? Thank you for being a sensible voice. Refreshing.
2024 here. Thanks be to God ,we made it through. 💚💙💜
I really enjoy sitting on this sofa listening to all the things. I’m tired today, so I needed to lay down and cover up with a little afghan I crocheted; those around me were generous and accommodating - thanks 😊
Thank you for reminding me to be great full for the little things. I am so glad that you mentioned the dish rags. I keep one on the needle all the time so that I always have something to keep my hands busy. I am great full for you. Your beautiful garden and your beautiful home make me happy. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.
Love what you talk about your knitting-it’s over now 3 yrs ago but still they have problems-but I love talking with you- Thanks! Sandra Myer❤️
Kate it was so very nice to sit and enjoy a Sunday chat. I’ve been watching for at least a year , always interesting, informative & enjoyable. I watched last Sunday with your walk about your garden & wished I could be in the garden with you. But I can.....virtually! I’m from Southern California & I can still visit you. Be well & walk in peace. Laura
Thanks Kate...your granddaughter is adorable❤❤
I am loving the Garden Vlog even though I have no garden!! I do find such calmness when I come to The Last Homely House East of the Sea, when I have such worries in real life. When it gets tough I go through all the previous films. Keep your spirit Kate because its keeping me x
Fleur Day yes, I agree. I do the same thing! Such a pleasure to have this little bit of sanity every week! Although I must say I would love the chats to be quite longer and more of them.
@@Frenchieer I couldn't agree more, but I understand the constraints on Kate's time :) - it's for purely selfish reasons I want more of this lovely peace. Superb to know it's not just me :) x
Fleur Day exactly! I know it’s selfish of me to even think of wanting more!
Three generations fussing over the yellow sunshine quilt 💕 Heaven can’t be better than that!
I have just come across your Sunday Chat, and am so happy to have found it. I came to Canada nearly 64 years ago from England where I grew up, married and had my first baby. I was not sure how to add a comment so apologise for adding it to Jenifer Farsh's.

Love Agnes on the quilt. What a cutie patootie! And not to forget nora. She so reminds me of my Lucy that I had for 17 years and miss.
What a delight to see Norma at the end all cozied up in the bowl!
I wish I could knit I can crochet I’ve been crouching since I was 14 years old my grandma should mr how bless her but I never got the hand of knitting there is always more holes in my netting than there is in Crocheting when I started crocheting my grandma wouldn’t let me go to a wool shop she told me to go to jumble sales to get jumpers to wash dry and unpick I made my first grany square blanket xx I still have that blanket now am 65 this feb it makes me think back to grandma xx but now I can go to a wool shop but it’s like going into a sweet shop seeing all the wools xx 😘 bless my grandma showing me how to recycle as it’s even more promenade now with the world and getting rid of rubbish into landfills thanks 🙏 grandma xx
Hello Kate, I've been watching your videos for over a month and love them! Thank you for taking the time out to address everyone on the lime green couch. I live in Texas, USA and wanted you to know I very much like your content. I knit, sew and mostly quilt. I also can things for my family. Do you can? Such a relaxing thing to do. I'll see if I can find another video of yours, thank you again, Elaine
Your quilts are so beautiful. And little Agnes was listening intently to you! When I am home from shopping and putting things away, I sometimes find my cat has curled up in the fabric shopping bag!
Thank you, Kate ... thank you. You've reminded me to make some socks before it's too hot to knit, and to finish that quilt top I'm actually making for me. [I do hope you don't start fiddling with your electricity again!] And a bowl full of Norma ... what a perfect video. 💚💚💚
Love the socks have knitted socks for over 50 years . Dishcloths have become a popular choice for beginners to knit 😃
Hi I am Kathy from the US . I just love your channel. Your are such a busy women I wish I had your energy and motivation.
I love your quilts the colors are so beautifully put together. Thankful for your sharing with us.
I live in Ontario Canada.....and I just love my knit/crochet dish clothes. In fact my families know this and every year my daughters gives me several as a fun gift. Lovely colours....that will make a beautiful collection when all that wool is used up. Have fun and thanks.
As I am enjoying this video I realize that four years have passed since this dreadful illness struck. Thinking back to what we each of us endured I am grateful for today and will try to be grateful for each new day that arrives.
Kate, I have knitted wash cloths just like yours. My church near my dad's has a fundraising the week before Thanksgiving. We make vegetable soup and barbeque. And all year long, we make crafts, quilts and just about anything. We always made lots of wash cloths. We always sold almost all of them. The money we raised would be used to help people in need throughout the year. We always have great fun.
Seeing your past chats is still very enjoyable. Good advice to be grateful - love kitty in a bowl! Thanks Kate
Hello from Houston Texas (US) I wish you were my next door neighbor! Thanks for your calming advise. Hugs 🤗
Jackie Smith I know! I wish she were my neighbor also. We have a lot of common interests. I’m sure we could learn from each other and the big bonus is I could see her and her beautiful cats everyday! I sure hope your cat is progressing, Kate. My cat had an infection once and had an injection and meds which I put in her food♥️ She healed well and was ok.
Ooo your rainbow socks came out SO gorgeous. What beautiful colors! And the colors for your dish cloths are beautiful as well. And that wee little pair of sockies for Agnes are just darling. I love the blues and greens, of course, lol. The new cards for the shop are awesome! Martha's illustrations are just beautiful. I hope they get your power situated in a more stable capacity soon! Have a great weekend!
A lovely chat , thanks. Quilts are gorgeous! Dish cloths are great colors. I’m so happy to have you as a virtual friend. 💕😊🌸
Baby Agnes is looking Bonny Kate😀❤️
Love the colours for the dish clothes, my favourite colour is green and lemon:)
Love the baby socks❤️
Look forward to cup a tea, and a biscuit, and your table, I will remember to bring my circular needles🤩
Look forward to seeing you in the garden as well😀
Can’t wait to see you again.
KimXX🌸
spending this chat time with you is not only relaxing and enjoyable, it brings back memories of time spent with aunts and my grandma. thanks so much so glad that I found you.
Dear Kate, did the last homely house East of the sea think it would be staffed with photographers, writers and editors? And Agnes! Sorry Norma , Sadie and Prudence too. And you Kate with all your ideas and what nots up your sleeve, always a surprise. Thank you thank you thank you! Cheers 🇨🇦
Hello, Kate from Edmonton in Western Canada. We are still buried under snow, so getting to see you out in your garden was great even if not much has woken up yet. I love it that you are knitting dish clothes. Knitted or crocheted are great. My Mum will make them and my brother and his wife love them. On top of that, they are great to wash up with. Now this leads me on to the green sofa. (by the way, my cushion is purple and my footstool is purple and greens). Every time I am here sitting on the couch or sofa if you will, I am knitting using circular knitting needles. I prefer them as my place on my own couch is at the end with the arm on my left so straight needles get in the way and I don't enjoy using them much any more. That sunshine quilt look fantastic, can't wait to see it when it's done.
Oh,that little face on Baby Agnes! She is listening intently and taking it all in
Today's visit with you was just what I needed. I organized my seeds while you charmed everyone on the couch. Thinking about planting them and how much I also look forward to working in my garden. Until next Sunday have a blessed week and keep being your fabulous self.
Hi Kate another great podcast,and great to listen to someone who is not panicking and talking about things that make you think ‘yes there is other things to think about ‘ like knitting,gardening and quilting, and not all doom and gloom, good for you, you cheered me up, thank you 🙏 from Scotland
The quilt looks beautiful! I’ve had a wonderful virus free weekend ( no tv etc), I’ve been organizing and purging my fabric stash and I have been going through all the mountains of quilting magazines I have. It was a nice mental break from everything in the outside world. I really enjoyed your garden video and it’s made me think that I have really neglected my garden and it has inspired me to clean things up once the weather warms up here in the Canadian maritimes. I even managed to bake a batch of cookies which I am sharing as a treat with my son and friends. They are great with a cup of tea on your virtual couch. Looking forward to your next video!
When I return home in April, I also want to tackle my personal "honey do" list.
I love the garden videos, Thank you for posting Kate x
Short Needles!!! Lovely, thank you!
I'm SO thrilled to have discovered your videos! I'm going to think of you as an energetic, creative, inspiring friend--I was going to say Auntie, but we're probably close to the same age, so that's not quite right, is it!? I'm from central coastal California and we're having the most wonderful rain! It makes it much easier to stay inside and just knit away! Now I'll have to find your marketing site...
Kate, I brought my sewing machine with me to the virtual sofa today.
I've enjoyed the chat and your calming voice. You're a good person.
Stay safe and well.
So wonderful to spend time together on the couch, even more so at these uncertain times. Just purchased the little bird book snd looking forward to to begin my "daily gratefuls". Truly appreciate your work and videos and companionship, and of course your cats! Stay safe.
Today, especially, I am thankful for you. Your video was such an oasis in our time of crisis here in Washington State. We live an hour north of Seattle, the center of the worst outbreak in the US - with massive, massive numbers of people who commute there from our community for work. I am medically fragile and we are taking all precautions we can and trying to be sensible about our preparations but this afternoon it just suddenly overwhelmed me and I felt sort of lost (though we have really good family support), and unable to cope. After watching - and especially listening to - your voice is so soothing - this video I feel able to cope again. I took up my lace tablecloth that I am crocheting and joined those others on the sofa (my crochet hook is short so I won't jab anyone) and I feel ready again to cope with all that we are facing. The deer are shedding their winter coats, spring is coming, birds are returning - we have hope once again. Bless you my dear.!!
Tie those knots and be joyful!! Beautiful baby Agnes. Beautiful quilts in their happy place. love to you!
Your calming voice was just what I needed to hear. Yesterday was upsetting for me here in New York USA as our state has some of the highest numbers of cases of the virus and things are shutting down. I guess it’s a good thing since it will slow the spread. But since we’ve never gone thru this type of thing it’s upsetting. So anyway your calmness helped calm me. I needed that! I’m thankful I have my stitching! Thank you for your video!
💝
I like for you to friend me on FB please?

Im standing in front of Savannah Ga fountain at Forsyth Park.
What a wonderful life you have. It’s so enriching to have so many interests that keep us going and enthusiasm runs wild. Such an inspiration Kate and I look forward to your posts. Love from NZ x
I had a little giggle during that garden tour, when you had those burdock stuck all over your boot cuffs, and right on the top of your hat. I loved that knotted willow so much, I'm going to do it around my chicken yard to cover the wire fencing.
I crochet. Never learned how to knit. I'm about at that point where I should do some washcloths. I received one from a Grandmother, who's grandson was in my Sunday school class, and it was the BEST washcloth I had!
Hi Kate - you’ve shared so many wonderful projects and I’ve picked up so many tips too so thought I’d share one of mine with you. I found this helps with the gradation issue when knitting variegated sock yarn, I now knit the heel and heel shaping with the same yarn but the other end of the ball and then continue the main sock with the original end of the yarn. The beauty of the variegation through the sock remains in tact 👍🏻😊
Thank you Kate! Take care!
Oh my goodness just watched you video where you went to visit your son for his birthday. At the end you showed a coffee percolator?. My mum had one of those (I think it was her mum's). She always brought out to use at Christmas when we were kids. The little burner underneath was fueled by methalated spirits. It used to mezmorize me. Thank you for bringing back such child hood memories. My mum used to make her own Christmas cakes too and I used to help with blanching the almonds. Love your videos and you have inspired me to have a go at the around the world quilt. I am in the midst of making my first quilt, which is just squares, but have loved doing it . Thank you again
I have a gratitude journal and every New Years Day i go through it to see all of the year before. Once i am done I throw it in the fire and start again.
Sandra Easthope oh don’t throw them in the fire! Tragedy! Maybe a family member would love them. I know I would
@@Frenchieer they are for my eyes only .... personal not for my family members that is why I do it
sandii Hassenstein and that’s fine. Very nice idea that we should all do, I think it’s great! Stay safe
I have to say you have done it again. Your lovely Sunday video was a perfect beginning of the week. I happen to be one of the the people that they say should stay in. I live with my Daughter and her husband( Which I absolutely Love, they are both so very good to me.. But I have now been in our home for 2 weeks and am getting stir crazy so it was very nice to see your face and here your calming voice. We live in Central Texas in a city with 5 Military Bases where they brought some of the cruise passengers and they are getting the best care possible..I am not a knitter but I really liked the socks .. If you read this tell your Martha that she is very pretty and your Grand Daughter is absolutely adorable.. Well will see you next week ( Or before because I watc every olde video I can find ) so you have a Blessed week .
So happy to be on the virtual couch. Since corona virus has been reported in my city, I could potentially spread it to actual couches. My son is self-isolating with me, and we tend always to be well stocked so all's well. Going out for walks around the neighborhood has replaced walking through shops and going to quilt guild get togethers for the time being.
Grateful for online friends!! I crochet my dishcloths,,cant knit to save my soul..haha
Dear Kate, A friend of mine told me about your channel last week and since then I have watched and listened to so many videos that have brought semblance and calm in these crazy times. I have subscribed and have shared your videos with several friends who are also smitten! You and your animals, home, gardens and crafts are absolutely wonderful. I was amazed to receive this video today because just yesterday I started knitting organic cotton dish cloths!!! I needed to do something with my hands that required no concentration!!!! I kid you not. The pattern I use is almost exactly the same as yours, but by using a yarn over for increases, a nice little border appears. Here is the pattern:
cast on 4
knit 2, yarn over, knit to end.
do this for as long as you'd like
to decrease
knit 1
knit 2 together,
yarn over
knit 2 together again
knit to end
until finished!
Enjoy! And thank you for being you!!!
-Susan from New Hampshire in the States
Thanks for the pattern. I had lost mine.
Hello Kate, Agnes is so beautiful, what a gift!!
That you're children help there mam so good is fantastic!!
Was nice to sit on the sofa again, thank you for sharing and to be there!
See you soon, thank you.
Greatings from the Netherlands as always 🙋♀️🥖😻💟
I truly enjoy your broadcasts🥰. I love that you are a very normal person and speak from the heart. I think we are about the same age and have many similar hobbies. I too, am a very avid quilter and knitter. I live in Northern Wisconsin, USA. Keep the normalcy going , it helps getting us thru the crazy world we now live in.
I've started my garden on the balcony today. It won't be a lot of food, but it'll be nice to have right outside my door. Tomorrow I'm sowing lettuce and arugula. I got the book this week! I love it. Thank you. I promise to fill it up. =) Give the kitties a hug for me and stay safe.
I love making dishcloths. I can knit but I crochet mine. I love the gold and green yarn. I have a cotton yarn I use from Knit Picks called Dishie which is a little thinner than regular cotton and very soft. I love working with it. When I knit I prefer the short needles when ever possible. I feel like I go faster with them. I'm excited to start my garden but as usual it has started raining so it may be a while before I can get it tilled. This year I am reminded how important gardens can be. Our grocery stores are bare right now and I'm glad I have some things canned and frozen.
I live in West Virginia, USA. I, too, enjoy your videos. I put on the tv and quilt away. I knit the dish cloths too, they’re in great demand here. Thanks for your videos.
Going back and forth across the years to take in all the wisdom and homeliness that is food for my soul. ♥️❤️♥️
Oh the socks for Agnes are gorgeous! And Agnes is so very darling!! I am on the virtual sofa with a portable crochet project, and I won’t be poking anyone!
Sandra Engstrand
I am crocheting with you! I’ve never been able to get the hang of knitting.
Im there with you two doing my EPP quilt ,with my cat loving border collie Willow!!! Best part of my day!!😃
B. Wooten
I enjoy English paper piecing, too!
I'm on the sofa too. I knit little hats for the Neonatal Intensive Care unit at our local hospital. I use circular knitting needles so I won't be poking anyone next to me. Have a lovely day!
@@susuburleson878 Me too!! I know how to do it, but I'm just not any good at it...
Yes, Kate...I thoroughly enjoyed your garden video. Today was a lovely day, so I got my compost pile layered up for a good heating, and some weeding done. I anticipate all your ideas for future garden visits. I started a gratitude journal, but slacked off on it. I am going to get it out and get back on it. Bye now.
we had a family reunion and for it I made gift bags for everyone. in it were homemade jams (blackberry and blueberry), home made soap and yes you guess it....home made wash clothes. it was so much fun putting them together and giving everyone a little taste of the pacific north west.
Sweet Norma in a bowl. Awwww. I keep trying to knit. Trying and trying. Then I give up and go back to crochet. lol. Love the colors of cotton yarn you have. Good idea to make dish cloths. We should all be using more natural fiber, reusable things. Take care, and TFS!
Hi Kate. Sitting on the sofa doing some tatting and listening to all your weeks tasks that were accomplished. We will all be joining you and John in the garden for sure. Excited now to see what you two (and the hen-on-the-run) create .☺
😊 I am catching up with these older videos. I'm enjoying them. I usually watch during lunch, so it's like having lunch with a friend.
Thanks
I love the baby socks, cute socks for a sweet baby. You make the prettiest quilts.
I love all your quilts but the purple one is fantastic! Oh! How I love purple. Agnes - what a little cutie. She looks so much like you.
Thank you for another lovely video during worrying times. I like the idea of the gratitude journal. 🌸 I am keeping busy with gardening, sewing, embroidery, weaving, .... 😊
Thank you so much for this lovely knitting etcetera podcast. I've been meaning to start some knitted dishcloths so thank you for the pattern. I absolutely love the rainbow socks. Yes!!! I knit socks one at a time top down on 5 dpsns. Thats what I'm usually doing when I watch your videos. I love the garden and quilting and cooking podcasts as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to do them. Hugs to You!!
I love your warm and comfortable chats! The little gratitude journal is the best! We can find things to be grateful for...even amongst all the crazy!
I forgot to mention that those two quilts that you were commissioned to do were absolutely beautiful. I would love to have that second one. Those colors were my favorite. I know the owner has to love it!!
Tiny treasures. I wish I could have gotten the one with the birds! ♥️🕊🙏
Your videos are inspiring and comforting. Thank you!
I make them. My daughter in laws love them. Great Christmas stocking stuffers and house gifts. I save all the ends for rainbow stripes.
I live in New Jersey USA have been watching your videos just recently. You are
So enjoyable to watch and I love your quilting. Your cats are adorable, I can relate
having two of my own. In this troubling time it's nice to listen to someone so far away with the same thoughts as I have. Take care to you and yours.
So happy to join you again today. It's like I've known you forever and feel like part of your family. What a cheek I'm sure, but it's true. I'm just across the way in Denmark. Keep well Kate.
Hi Kate. I want to tell you how much I enjoy your You Tube videos. I'm from New Jersey and life here is very stressful. Your videos make me relax. Love when your cats come around looking to get your attention. I always wanted to learn how to make quilts and now I'm going to try. Will let you know how that goes. God Bless you.
Thanks for that Kate. I had a sudden feeling of being overwhelmed by all the news today but you have helped to put things in perspective. Take care.
