Your videos have been such a comfort this year as I go through breast cancer treatments. Sometimes I just watch while I’m recovering, sometimes I feel well enough to do some sewing project, sitting on the lime green sofa listening to you chat away. I have been inspired to do my own EPP inch hexagons quilt and take my hexagon sewing to my chemo sessions each week as I can be there for up to 5 hours sometimes.
Kates voice gives me the same comfort during the night as I fight the pain of cancer as Wanda from The Whipperpoolwill Holler. And I’m learning new things. May God Bless you and Help you heal. He is my #1 comfort and hope!
@@thelasthomelyhouse, I'd make the cat into a tote bag... I have many "different" tote bags and have had many people approach me and start fun conversations. I've even sewn a piece like the cat on an already made tote as a pocket. 💖🌞🌵😷
Why do you never speak of the children's father? Do they still have contact? Would you rather stay private about that topic? Totally understandable. Lots of us are just very curious.
I have always related to your style . I’m in my 70’s and my quilting friends like warm darker colors, but me? Oh no, love me some Kaffe and Tula any day. Weird and quirky and strange are my comfort zones!
About 20 years ago I experienced rug hooking each week going to Gladys Hotchkiss’ home along with other older ladies to be instructed in the art of painting with wool. She taught us how to dye wool in gradient colors and how to choose just the right scrap from an old shrunken coat for the center of a flower. Maybe I’ll get that back out to work on as I never quite finished it. I’m notorious to bite off more than I can chew however I’ve come full circle to it. Anna when I found you as a fellow crafter on the lime green sofa I replaced the wayside uncertainty this crazy life offers to one with determination and focus and FOUND MY HEART AGAIN. (Incidentally I have a light green leather loveseat in my crafting space that becomes a little nest to sit in and sew, read or share a cup of tea with a friend. ) So here in Missouri USA, there is room for everyone world around to sit on the LIME GREEN SOFA where we can snack on cake and cookies that have NO calories and laugh and teach one another a new art or be reminded we are not alone and that quirky is a good thing. Kate , your ‘something of nothing’ crafts are not only good for the environment but tremendous for the soul. Love ya
This is the way my Mother made carpets when I was little ! Dad make the frame ! They came from Durham but we lived in Manchester when I was born. Thanks for the memory !
Hi Kate, my name is Glenda. I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the U.S. I started watching your videos about a month ago, and I am enjoying you so much. It's like visiting with a kindred spirit. I also have 10 different crafting and art projects going at once. I decided to go to your first video and watch them all from the start till now. I'm doing pretty good, but I wanted to jump to today just to thank you. I have decided to make a quilt thanks to you and I also found free spirit and Kaffe fassett fabric thanks to you as well. Wish me luck and keep up the wonderful work you do. You and the farm are bringing smiles to me daily. Namaste
Kate, I found the frames! They are in the UK. Coleshill Accessories carries a "12 inch No Sew Slate Frame". It only comes in one size for no sew, fabric held in place by wood rods. I think it is the one that you have, side arms are 20 inches long.
I absolutely love those cat paws! My favorite thing on my cat is his little fat, fluffy white paws when he spreads them out to pat me to get my attention. I really enjoy watching your videos. It’s like hanging out with a friend. You even inspired me to start my first English paper piecing quilt. Just bought my hexagon templates and I’m picking out fabric now.
This looks like what we in USA call burlap. I made small one many yeats ago using wool clothes from Goodwill. Love your cute designs. Children's drawings could be saved this way.😊
yes - children's drawings are perfect for this type of work - I'll have to get Agnes to draw me something! that is how John's blue and yellow cat came about! xxx (though he was 17!)
April 2024 My last cat Max, a large fluffy ginger cat, liked to lie on parts of the quilt I was making. Once the quilt was complete he totally lost interest in it. Prudence was a beautiful cat and like that she died with you still caring for her. Take care and look after yourself x
If I had a son who loved a full English breakfast, whose response to a gift was "that's great, you can keep it at your house for me" would be to invite him over for Saturday breakfast and serve him with his mat. Just his mat! April fool, haha. Love the quirkiness of this and the gorgeous snowy vista. Stay well Kate xx
oh goodness - i remember when i was a teenager making my mother a Rooster Hook Rug - she kept it in front of her Dry Sink for many years - i enjoyed doing this and now i may need to make another one lol - thanks Kate and be well
The way you hold your frame against the table is exactly how I use my rigid heddle looms. I also like weird, especially your nine piece weird cacti collection.
@@lyndakling901 the keyword is "similar". They both have some sort of a canvas. They both have some sort of yarn. They both use some sort of hook. They both are a lot of fun! Similar enough for me! Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷
I did a lot of latchhook, too, in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Still using one of the rugs I'd made for my folks. But the canvas, hook, and methods are a bit different. And, you don't need to stretch your canvas, with latchhook.
@lyndakling901 I agree with you, there! Still fun, but, I prefer latchhook. Couldn't quite get into the rhythm of doing regular rughooking, how Kate does it, Although I love the look of it! And I'm sure our cats would love to "test it", whatever type of rugmaking anyone is doing..😊
Hooking! I dabbled in it some years back, made a small rug. We had a neighbor when I was a child who made gorgeous, floral carpets. So beautiful. Your Keith Haring inspired mat reminds me of when I used to run a knitting group at the LGBT Center in Manhattan. There was a bathroom on the 2nd floor in which Keith had covered every inch of the walls with a libidinous (shall we say) mural. It was quite an eyeful. At some point after his death the bathroom was converted into another meeting room and our knitting group was sometimes assigned to this room. So there we were, a mix of men and women with our needles and yarn surrounded by Keith's fantastic mural! I believe there are pics somewhere on the web, but be forewarned, it's graphic. I love your mats, especially 'full English breakfast'.
wow! that sounds epic! yes - I am familiar with that art style of his - I love his playfulness with his subjects - we shouldn't take ourselves so seriously! what a marvellous venue for your meetings! and yes - I'm glad my son didn't want his mat - I love seeing it every day! ha ha! xx good luck with your crafts! xxx
You are the most interesting person. I would really enjoy being your neighbor so that I could visit and learn how you do all your interesting projects. You are a true treasure❤
Hi, Kate! Thank you for making room on your lime green coach for me ❤. I'm not a quilter, however, I love watching your quilting videos. I do knit and spin yarn and love those videos you have made as well. I did make a cat hooked rug and enjoyed my small project.
hi Kate, I have been watching your series and been watching all your back videos, I am a first generation American, My Mom was born and raised in Birmingham until she was 16. She retained her english inflections of speech until she passed in 1997. I love listening to you talk . I have been trying to catch what day and time you show your new videos. missed you by almost 3 hours but I will catch you next week. I quilt, cross stitch, long arm quilt, and make clothes, I love to watch you and all of your projects and would love to learn how to do puddy work. Enjoy your days knowing that you have a watcher of 78 years of age that has a cup of tea every time i watch you. its April 2 2023 here, .
So much fun!! I think older elementary age kids would really like this as much as adults, and what a great way to express creativity. I like that you can repurpose thrifted items such as pants and sweatshirts, great idea!
What a difference a couple of weeks and a hundred miles makes. Spring has well and truly arrived where I live.The birds are so busy with their homemaking and my garden is covered with primroses & grape hyacinth. It makes me so happy. Have a lovely Easter week, Kate, and the rest of the residence of the lime green sofa.
Clever, you are just so amazing! (Hands to work, Hearts to God. Idle hands are the devil's playground. My grandmother always said this to me as a youngster and it has spilled over to my whole life. Bless grandmothers)
Wow so cool 😎. I've never seen this with fabric ❤. Thanks so much for a wonderful time..xoxo Always is... . and yah know I love yah. Peace and love to everyone everywhere. You're amazing and beautiful. 🐣🐰😊
I looked up “embroidery frames” and up came MANY, basic sets, with and without stands, lights etc. highly recommend for anyone who hand stitches. Your work never gets distorted (e.g. needlepoint or embroidery in hoops).
I have been watching your relaxing videos for about 8 months now & love ev you do. I have the same color sense & quilt with some of the same fabrIcs so I should have known you can also do rug hooking. Your pink spider made me smile. Kate, you are such a great teacher & storyteller. Like many others on the lime green sofa I watch you every night. Your voice is very soothing & I love, love your gentle kindness. Keep your videos coming my friend. ❤
Kate, can't you ask John to whittle you some pegs? That way you won't hurt yourself on the nails, great ideas as always. I hope your class went well at the quilt festival ❤
I love your work and I think you are a grand wonderful loving lady. Thank you for your kindness, your art and your videos. Too bad I live in Chile because I would live to have a cup of tea with you. You are so wise. Thank you.
I love relaxing things like that. That why I do hand embroidery when watching tv with my husband, or should I say when he’s watching tv. His taste in shows is different than mine so I need hand work.
Thank you Kate for sharing this wonderful craft with all of us on the lime green sofa. I look forward to each and every post you do for UA-cam! Love that you recycle and reuse as I do! If we don’t all work together to save our planet we won’t have one and therefore it will be the end of us all. Your the best Kate!❤
About 25 yrs ago, I took a Primitive Rug Hooking class (that's what they call here in the US, as opposed to Latch Hooking), at an historic site. What a lovely place to explore and sit and work. I made a chair pad, now we'll worn out and a square commemorating beloved pets (our dog had just passed). I loved it and still do. My frame is a metal one I bought in a weaving store. It's raised, so you can sit under it and work above your lap. That is still going strong too. Thanks Kate, for all the hints. When I started, it wasn't so difficult to get 100% wool clothing from friends or the thrft shop to wash, shrink, dry, and strip - nowadays, not so easy to find. So glad Arne and Carlos pointed me in your direction after they started watching you.
I just watched your video from 3 years ago when you were putting a binding on the flying goose quilt. You asked where I heard of you. I had a random video from Arne and Carlos pop up on my television and they were talking about you and they were sitting on your lime green couch. That was 2 weeks ago. I have been watching you ever since. Thank you for brightening my day. Your videos have come into my life just when i needed them. Thank you. You might enjoy watching "My sewing room"
Oh my goodness! Every Sunday with you is such a fun and exciting adventure. I so look forward to your weekly posts. Thank you again for explaining the proggy process. Your multiple talents just amaze me. Your friend from across the pond in Clinton, Utah.
Weird is way more fun than boring! I read an article in Quiltfolk about Black women who live in the southern coastal islands who tied cotton strips in burlap to make 'quilts'. Some of them use pictorial designs as well. Pretty cool.
I love all of your weird and wonderful mats, but I admit that the pink man is my favorite. Very intriguing! You have such a great imagination, and I really like you ingenuity with the nails and corks.
What a calm comforting vlog Kate with the weird & wonderful crafting of colour & textures quite Kaffe Fassett Can see what you two have in common along with Brandon Mably
Wow that craft is very different and unique. I love watching your videos and the one that you said you didn't like reminds me of different colored popcorn balls. I love them all. Keep up the great work that you do.
My grandmother hooked rugs. Room size rugs with wool she dyed. I have her frame that my dad made for her as well as her home made hook and the strip cutting wheel. Your video has give me such a sense of deja vue.I can taste the tea and hear the snowy wind rattling the window panes. Thanks from way DownEast Maine on a very blustery wintry “Spring” evening ❤️
I missed seeing your beautiful cats, who usually are all around you? Love hooky mats, and love the quirky ones you make, just my cup of tea! Love to you Kate, from a sunny Devon, England. xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse I am so very sorry to hear about Rita cat, and I know how much you must miss Norma, as when I lost my Charlie dog 3 years ago now, my heart was broken. xxx
Wow Kate I love to watch you craft !!! I craft while watching you. Lol. Mostly crochet. But I do 50 other crafts. You name it. Paint. Resin. Photography. Birding. Paper crafts. Bake. Sea glass. Gardening with flowers. Some quilting. I’m interested in learning the EPP. That’s very interesting to me. I bought some needles. 🎉 have a good day
I love them Kate. Years ago when I was in jr. high school I did hooked rug project like that for our school art fair. It was so much fun. Thanks for the visit Kate. So enjoy your visits.
I use a roller frame like that for all my hooking, needlepoint, embroidery, counted cross-stitch, stitching free-form onto hand-painted canvases etc. such a GREAT tool!! No hoops unless absolutely required. I’ll try to find you the link you were wondering about.
I love all the things you do. You inspired me with your hexie quilt. I have made two of them and started my little sister doing hers. Thank you for being there for me and others.
Ah, yes, that quilt is beautiful! And hexie quilting is how I found Kate! I was looking up how to do it for starters, and Kate's channel 💕was "recommended" by Google.
@@wendywilson1736 My sister wanted to do something easy but pretty as her first project in quilting. I have been quilting for years and she wanted to learn. My most ambitious quilt was the Grandmothers Flower Garden in queen size all done by hand which she loved. I just gave it to her and now she is making one of her own. She loves the hand piecing and will be hand quilting as I did. My little sister never did quilts. She is in her sixties. I love the fact that she wants to have this to work on since she retired. I'm going to be 79 years old.
Thanks for demonstrating this technique. I have a kit. All the strips are pre-cut. I put it in a frame and couldn't figure out how to situate the frame so I could balance everything and still hook. Many artists making videos with this technique have expensive, free standing frames with legs. But I didn't want to invest in something so expensive for a first try. I'm going to try your method... Wish me luck! 💖🌞🌵😷
Your videos have been such a comfort this year as I go through breast cancer treatments. Sometimes I just watch while I’m recovering, sometimes I feel well enough to do some sewing project, sitting on the lime green sofa listening to you chat away.

I was diagnosed in May 2021. That 1st summer was tough. I can relate. Kate's voice is so soothing. God bless you. Praying for you. ❤
I loved learning about this process. You are such a dear teacher Kate. Thank you for the joy you share with all of your viewers like me....Anita
“They’re all weird”, you said with such great conviction. I love it!! “No bones about you” Kate! You’re so special and warm.❤
I do enjoy a little bit of weird! xxx
I bet John will want to have his Yellow Cat now that it’s “famous “!!! Really fun projects.
I'll have to ask him - but I doubt it! Owen's breakfast too - I think I can keep them after all these years! xxx

Such beautiful work! The boys will regret not accepting their 18th birthday gifts.
Oh my goodness! Every Sunday with you is such a fun and exciting adventure. I so look forward to your weekly posts. Thank you again for explaining the proggy process. Your multiple talents just amaze me. Your friend from across the pond in Clinton, Utah.
Weird is way more fun than boring! I read an article in Quiltfolk about Black women who live in the southern coastal islands who tied cotton strips in burlap to make 'quilts'. Some of them use pictorial designs as well. Pretty cool.
The mats are brilliant Kate.
This reminds me of hook latching, something I did many years ago but with yarn.
You a wild and crazy woman! I love it! You’ve inspired me once again 🎉
I love all of your weird and wonderful mats, but I admit that the pink man is my favorite. Very intriguing! You have such a great imagination, and I really like you ingenuity with the nails and corks.
What a calm comforting vlog Kate with the weird & wonderful crafting of colour & textures quite Kaffe Fassett
Can see what you two have in common along with Brandon Mably
Very interesting. I missed you last week, Kate. I'm glad you're back.
You made me laugh when you said we got a big dump of snow.😂😂😂I’m so glad “early spring” is finally here in Ct. USA
Very pretty. Looks relaxing. Thanks Kate
Very beautiful mats. Love your video👍🍁🌺☘🌻🌷🌳
Wow that craft is very different and unique. I love watching your videos and the one that you said you didn't like reminds me of different colored popcorn balls. I love them all. Keep up the great work that you do.
My grandmother hooked rugs. Room size rugs with wool she dyed. I have her frame that my dad made for her as well as her home made hook and the strip cutting wheel. Your video has give me such a sense of deja vue.I can taste the tea and hear the snowy wind rattling the window panes. Thanks from way DownEast Maine on a very blustery wintry “Spring” evening ❤️
Hi Martha, how's your day going with you?
You have got a good rhythm started. Fun pieces.

Thank you for being so inspirational! ❤
Hi Douglas, how's your day going with you?
It's almost hypnotic as it grows in front of you.
Looks like fun. I think I will give it a go. Thank you, Kate ❤
Hi Pam, how's your day going with you?
I missed seeing your beautiful cats, who usually are all around you? Love hooky mats, and love the quirky ones you make, just my cup of tea! Love to you Kate, from a sunny Devon, England. xxx
Cta Rita is pretty unwell just now and sleeps a lot - Sadie is always outside - I miss Norma xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse I am so very sorry to hear about Rita cat, and I know how much you must miss Norma, as when I lost my Charlie dog 3 years ago now, my heart was broken. xxx
i love these designs, they are all funky...
Always pleasant to have a cuppa and a chat with you Kate. ❤
Hi Deborah, how's your day going with you?
Wow Kate I love to watch you craft !!! I craft while watching you. Lol. Mostly crochet. But I do 50 other crafts. You name it. Paint. Resin. Photography. Birding. Paper crafts. Bake. Sea glass. Gardening with flowers. Some quilting. I’m interested in learning the EPP. That’s very interesting to me. I bought some needles. 🎉 have a good day
I love them Kate. Years ago when I was in jr. high school I did hooked rug project like that for our school art fair. It was so much fun. Thanks for the visit Kate. So enjoy your visits.
Hi Carolyn, how's your day going with you?
I love to rug hook. Nice to see you love it too.
I have never seen this work before! Very pretty and Interesting
I've just found your videos which I think are great I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes a pink kitchen definitely my favourite colour
What a simple and fun art! You are just brilliant! Take care Kate😊
Hi Nancy, how's your day going with you?
I use a roller frame like that for all my hooking, needlepoint, embroidery, counted cross-stitch, stitching free-form onto hand-painted canvases etc. such a GREAT tool!! No hoops unless absolutely required. I’ll try to find you the link you were wondering about.
I love all the things you do. You inspired me with your hexie quilt. I have made two of them and started my little sister doing hers. Thank you for being there for me and others.
Ah, yes, that quilt is beautiful! And hexie quilting is how I found Kate! I was looking up how to do it for starters, and Kate's channel 💕was "recommended" by Google.
@@wendywilson1736 My sister wanted to do something easy but pretty as her first project in quilting. I have been quilting for years and she wanted to learn. My most ambitious quilt was the Grandmothers Flower Garden in queen size all done by hand which she loved. I just gave it to her and now she is making one of her own. She loves the hand piecing and will be hand quilting as I did. My little sister never did quilts. She is in her sixties. I love the fact that she wants to have this to work on since she retired. I'm going to be 79 years old.
Thanks for demonstrating this technique. I have a kit. All the strips are pre-cut. I put it in a frame and couldn't figure out how to situate the frame so I could balance everything and still hook. Many artists making videos with this technique have expensive, free standing frames with legs. But I didn't want to invest in something so expensive for a first try. I'm going to try your method... Wish me luck! 💖🌞🌵😷
Thank you Kate. You must have an exhibition of your items. They'll sell I'm sure🌸🌷😍
I ❤ all of these, and the stories behind them. Thank you so much for sharing, Kate 💚
Hi Heather, how's your day going with you?
