Progress on my CABIN by the Pond and a QUILT! #9

- Опубліковано 8 гру 2023
- Here is an update on my Cabin project, a bit of a disjointed video as I was pretty unwell for most of November so I was unable to film the rapid progress that Ant was making despite the awful weather, rain, cold, wind ..... nothing seems to daunt him. You can find him on Instagram as Ants_countrylife - pop over there and say hi!
In this video you can spot the moment when I should have taken to my bed and stopped filming. you'll be able to spot it no bother!
But the cabin is not far from being finished. Work has started on installing the electrics, I am waiting for the window and the cladding for the outside and then it will be mostly complete. I decided to make a curtain for the compost toilet and I am keeping warm in The Last Homely House making that. So many plans for how I will use this cabin!
But in other news, the garden has been having a lot of attention from my Garden Team, Adam and Arran from Heritage Country Gardening, to put the whole garden to bed for the winter and do all the end of year maintenance that is needed . They also helped sort out the drainage around the pond area and planted a lot of bulbs. I'm really looking forward to spring when we may see some signs of them!
Deer in the adjoining field, Eileen keeping everyone on their toes and wild birds enjoying the seeds and nuts I fill up on a daily basis!
Thank you for your patience with the scheduling of the Garden videos. I don't post to a schedule and so it is worth putting on your notifications when you subscribe so you won't miss an update.

Over at The Last Homely House, my Patrons are enjoying the Advent Series Anna and I have made. A colourful video every day of Advent for everyone from $1 and up. You can join them here and catch up!

Thank you for watching
Take care and I'll see you soon now that I am feeling so much better

Oh Kate, what a lovely place you are creating. My own Mom, who taught me everything I know about gardening, preserving, sewing and quilting for the family is no longer able to teach us due to the horrible condition of dementia. I’ve been slowly losing her over the past 10 years and your videos are a breath of her in my ears and my heart. My daughter, who is getting married this summer on the farm, recently came to me and said, I just feel a signature quilt as the wedding registry would be a great tribute to NANA and that we sew it together afterwards. What a family heirloom that will be! I strive to create that sort of family heritage culture. Thank you so much for inspiring our family. Thank you for pouring yourself into what you love to do and sharing it all with us.
You left me in tears because I completely understand what dementia can do to a family. My mom passed 2 years ago and I miss her terribly.
What a joy when you and Ant realized you are both on the same wavelength !Two creative artists collaberating on a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.!! Awesome!
You really have a gem in Ant. The cabin looks great, complete with the toilet and a quilt hanging on the wall, who could ask for anything more!😊
So true!
I’m a big fan of Ant! I eagerly await the debut of his UA-cam channel! The laugh, that northern accent, the talent! And the good looks! I’m smitten!
Your cabin is a dream. Love how it came into build. Ant the wood quilter, what an addition to the wall. I see he did more under the soon to come window wall as well. Yes, a set of Wonky star blocks, for play. I’m enjoying the cabin build very much and all the creativity you both have put into it. ❤
Really nice project, Kate. You are really going to enjoy it, just like Ailene already is. Will you put fish in the pond? What a nice, accommodating young man Ant is.
@jacobsladderpa, Me too!
What an absolute legend Ant is. He could have just done the engineering/structural side of the cabin and left as is. But no, he taps into creativity. Clearly to him a house isn't just a house, it's a home.
Oh my heavens, you really got me with the gorgeous quilted wood pieces….absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to see them and the cabin finished. Love your inspiration and videos.
Oh, my! The cabin is coming along nicely. I love the friendship you and Ant have together. Such kind and creative souls and always enjoying a laugh. Ant's skill and your creative dream is a recipe for success - you have found a real keeper in Ant. I am just loving the quilt wall - are we surprised, no! Stay warm inside until you are feeling 100% ❤
Kate, do take care of yourself!! YOU are the last homely hostess with the mostest!! 🤗
I just adore the wood quilt. 😍 Ant continues to amaze. Gosh!!
Thank you so much for sharing ☺️
Hi Kate. I must say, I love this garden channel. This was amazing. This whole wooden quilt thing is so you. I love how Ant came up with this. Thanks, John, for the hair rub, can't do without one when you're around. 😂😂 I think this whole part of the garden looks stunning, and it will even be more so when everything comes back to life in Spring. Can't wait for the next part. 😁❤❤❤xxxx
Of course you should keep the garden channel! I love seeing what you do outside in your large and lovely grounds. I’d be in heaven if I had a property to putz around on like yours. The wooden quilt is just perfect for the cabin.
Beautiful video. The cabin and wooden quilt are beautiful, and so is your collaboration with Ant. This was like witnessing life as it should be, if that makes any sense. Thanks for sharing with us!
The cabin is wonderful and the barn quilt was such a good idea. I love that you snuck some log cabin blocks into the front wall as well. Very excited to see the progress and can’t wait for more videos from the pond as the seasons change.
Hi Kate
It just shows how much you inspire people. Ant turning wood shapes into a wall quilt is just one example.Christmas greetings to him and his family🎉🎄⭐🎄💗
Wow that wooden quilt wall is so awesome. What a fantastic idea for your cabin. Quilting inside and out! I love the way Ants says yeah yeah. It’s so dear. What a blessing to have him as your builder. You do amazing things Kate. Loved the videos. ❤️😊
I LOVE the cabin quilt! This is like bringing the inside out (instead of how designers bring the outside in 😆) What a perfect way to personalize your new space! Kudos to Ant for picking up on the similarities between quilting and building. You made my day, Kate and Ant!
I felt like Dorothy opening the door to Munchkinland when you revealed the cabin quilt wall - my jaw literally dropped! What a partnership you and Ant make!
I agree how lovely and fun !👌
The wonderful thing is that you and Ant are having so much fun doing this. 😁 The quilt wall is adorable and so you. 🤣 The whole cabin is awesome! I love watching such a happy little goose waddling around the pond. 🥰 This adventure has been so wonderful from the beginning. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I hope you are feeling much better by the time you get this. Oh and you have such a handsome son! 😁
You and Ant are a fun team Kate. The quilt wall reminds me of indigenous peoples' designs. The wooden quilt is lovely and rustic. 🥰
I love this project! You and Ant are quite a team😊 The wooden quilt is perfect, it represents you well and Ant is a Saint for cutting all those triangles.
Oh Kate! Your cabin is coming along magnificently and the quilt wall is BRILLIANT! Perfect for you! Yay for Ant!💕 What a wonderful friend he is! Nice to see John and Agnes. She is growing up so fast and an absolute doll! Thank you so much for sharing this special video. Hope you're feeling better soon. Take care🥰
I have just now found this garden series and I want to tell you how much I enjoyed watching this video of you and Ant, with the charming and good natured bantering while creating the quilt wall together. Lovely. Thank you.
OMG, Ant is amazing, just like you! So thoughtful and caring and hard working too! Love what is happening in your little cabin! I notice those cupboards by the door -- beautiful also! They look like log cabin blocks! Lovely! Hope you are feeling better by now.
Awe! this is marvelous! Immediately when Ant put the door on I thought of a beautiful Pink & Green Pinwheel Block on the outside of the door! This video was very entertaining and fun to watch! Love seeing Eileen enjoying her new pond! Hope you are feeling well again and Have a Very Merry Christmas!
Wow... that's looking fabulous...also brightened up a cold and wet Saturday evening.Lovely to see Eileen bless her.Thank you Kate,do hope you are feeling better now.Love to you all on the lime green sofa from Walter cat and Me ❤
Ant is wonderful and I think your garden channel is a wonderful addition. Love the wooden quilt!
What a cozy cabin! You even thought of a compost toilet, with a view no less! I love your "quilt" wall. I don't know how you come up with such cute ideas Kate. I noted when looking out the cabin door, you can see your house in the back ground. So, from your upstairs bedroom window you can look down upon your cabin. It gives me joy just imagining what pleasure you will have this spring and on enjoying your pond.
Honestly Kate it was a perfect video, I really enjoyed it and loved seeing the “quilt” come together, such a great idea and it’s always a delight to see Eileen and the other wildlife, glad to know you’re feeling better. Many blessings to you all. x
I just love how the cabin is coming together. It's going to be snug and cozy once you get heat. The veranda will be lovely to sit out on when the weather will allow. I'm excited to see the progress. ❤😊
The Wooden quilt is absolutely gorgeous!
The cabin is GORGEOUS!!! What a brilliant idea, using the wood to create quilt blocks, I love it! I wish I had an artist like "Ant" in my neighborhood. Blessings to you all and thank you for the videos.
Dear Kate, as I watched the WOOD QUILT take shape I kept thinking of how in years to come, as Agness grows into a young woman, she will have such a beautiful legacy of grandma Kate to treasure. Thank you for sharing all this with us. God bless you Kate.
As a fellow quilter, I have a nice big shed for storing sundry things, and in one end is my "work" area! You have inspired me to create my own quilt wall! Just absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Love the wooden quilt,what a brilliant idea ❤
I absolutely ❤️ the wood quilt blocks. Fantastic!! Your cabin is going to be so much fun. 😊
Hiya 🌞 ❤, -and all to give Eileen her own private swimming pool!!!Lol!😅😊(Truly one " lucky duck!") Glad you're all getting so much joy out of you serenity spot!and for sharing it all with us, Anthony is a brilliant gentleman & such a happy companion! When it's all completed you'll flood it with colourful quilts and everyone will enjoy having a cuppa there! Such a long way from your first LGS-best love and a truly wonderful Christmastide to all here!Keep safe, well and content always ❤ 😊J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😊
Kate and team, this has been by far one of my favourite videos. Love the creativity you are bringing to the cabin. Love Leanne NZ
Everything about this warms my heart - Kate and Ant, the cabin, the pond, the creative process. Thankyou from down in Australia ( where it’s definitely not cold) can’t wait for the next instalment! ❤
Your little cabin is looking great! I love the ‘wooden quilt’ design on the wall. You and Ant are so positive and creative, so good to see after hearing all the news about so much destruction happening in the world. Inspiring, thanks Kate! 💐🙏🏻❤️
Fantastic! The quilt wall is such a lovely feature. And I noticed some log cabin blocks next to the door too. Can't wait to see it all finished.
You certainly have found your little piece of paradise Kate. Love the camaraderie between you and Ant - it's a joy to behold.
I absolutely loved watching this. What a great idea a wooden quilt. You and Ant make a great team! Can’t wait to see what comes next. The pond looks beautiful in the wintery sun. Fantastic.
This cabin is just great and Kate you are so fortunate to have Anthony building for you! The whole idea of the pond and cabin is really coming together. The quilt wall is so beautiful. Your granddaughter is a real doll and I think she might be a mathematician. Be safe and happy holiday🥰
Oh this was such a wonderful and peaceful video! I enjoyed watching while I quietly hand-stitched on my wall hanging. I love watching how you and Ant work together, two creative and talented artisans making this beautiful, rustic oasis at your pond. Stay well, Kate.
I love this space you've created and I love that wildlife are being attracted to it! The wood quilt is so fitting!
Kate. You are such a marvel and Ant is a treasure. You show us all the pleasures of living a life back to the simple ways.
Thank you, Kate, for the update. I look forward to knowing how the cabin and pond are coming along. Seeing Eileen in her private pool is magical. As for Ant, he is one awesome fella. I so love this project and I'm thrilled it's going to go on for a while. As an Aussie, it's spectacular to watch the seasons change. Snow! Christmas postcard quality. Thanks again to all involved. ❤🧡
Oh Kate! Leave it to you to find a way to add color and keep it your style, though pastel. I love it. What a lovely project and I'm SO glad you're feeling better. Gosh, Agnes is getting so grown up - she's lovely. What a great way to help her find her own quilting vibe.
LOVE the composting loo! And the pallet-wood paneling. And the wool insulation!!
Eileen looks so happy. A wooden quilt wall just adds to the magic of your cabin by the pond.
Oh Kate, I just love watching your channel.❤
Oh my days Kate! That wall is amazing. You are so lucky to have Ant so willing to put all these ideas into action (and add a few ideas himself!) I hope you continue to feel better and enjoy many hours in your cosy Den x
Oh Kate, who would have thought. A really smashing idea to have a wooden quilt, so original, what a feature. Hope you are on the mend. Love Ant, he is a treasure.❤
Hi Kate. What a slice of heaven you and Ant are creating. I so enjoyed watching the collaboration between the two of you on the quilt wall. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. Be well!!
Wow! You and Ant have found ways to make your cabin very special and charming. How fun to collaborate with other creatives and have something wonderful to show for it.
Dear Kate, choppy, interrupted video or not, loved every minute. I was almost in tears witnessing the heartfelt enthusiasm and skill of both you and Ant. What joy you bring. Hello to John, Agnes, and of course Eileene. Judy in Virginia, U.S.
Kate
I agree with you. The pond and cabin is going to be a spectacular retreat. FANTASTIC Ant😍🤩🎄⭐🎄
I so look forward to your cabin progress videos. Sorry you weren't feeling well, but you still did a fabulous job with this one. You will so love the covered porch Ant created. The quilt wall is wonderful. What I think I enjoy the most is the interactions you and Ant have. They ae delightful to listen to. Good work all.
Love the update! Thank you for sharing.
A quilter here-love the wall. Looking forward to the next reveal.
A wooden wall quilt! I wouldn’t expect anything less from you. What a fun project. Also, I always enjoy the close-up and drone footage of your property and environs. Just fifteen minutes of that and soothing music works as well. Stay healthy, Kate. I’m curious about what new ideas you’re conjuring up.
Lovely! I reminisced of when my husband and I built our home and he slid off the shed roof in the rain and landed on a pile of scrap wood. He had quilt pinwheel bruises on his leg…your idea was so much better. A wall will last and be beautiful for a very long time. I am so sorry you were under the weather, it is going around for sure here on our side of the (big) pond as well. May we all heal for Christmas. ❤ Thank you for the lovely update.
Are you aware that some forms of colour blindness can be corrected with specialised glasses? What a joy it would be to know that Ant could enjoy the colours of a sunset with you from your porch and for him to enjoy the colours of the flowers around the pond and in your garden, and what a great reward for all of Ant's hard work and kindness to you. Ant's cheerfulness and kindness shines through and is matched by your caring nature too.
The quilt needs a label with bith creator's names! Lovely touch to the ambience of the cabin.
Ant reminds me so much of my dear Grandfather, also a woodworker extraordinaire, who, like Ant, would fuss for hours over little projects like your wooden 'quilt', just to please my Gram - or whomever it was for. I hope you'll be feeling 100% soon ... you are my favorite UA-cam person to end my day with ... always so warm and, to me, so very calming!!!! Be Well!!!
34:40 I love the 'quilts' on the back wall, AND the 'log cabin' pattern on the bottom of the wall by the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate I I am enjoying this episode so much. I love the way you and Ant have designed the pond, to the pathway, and now you're both creating this beautiful wall. What a great idea!. I've just shared this with my husband as he loves birds and will enjoy hearing Ant tell about the ones that have visited already. Well done both of you. We live in Ontario And t's lovely to hear you both using sayings that are so familiar to me. Love the way you called Ant a nice lad and when John ruffled your hair too. Ant might have created a monster now when doing work for other people. He will be coming to you to design Quilt Walls for him lol. . It was lovely seeing your granddaughter creating her quilting shapes already. What a good lad Ant is keeping you stocked up with logs. I hope your cold is gone now. ❤❤❤
Lovely Kate. Coming along great. Fab to see Eileen padding about. Agnes is the double of her mum! Keep warm. Lynne (Sunderland) 💐👏🌈
Just today, earlier this morning, I checked the site to see if I had missed a post. I hadn’t so I looked at #8 again. I took a short nap, and when I woke up, surprise! there was #9. Love the wooden quilt wall. Thank you for the quick glance at Agnes. She is so adorable and we are getting to watch her grow up.
Ant is incredible. He is very conscientious and open to the creative process.
Absolutely love the use of timber blocks. So creative and so beautiful.😊
How lucky you are! I love the quilt wall and hope you are feeling better by now. Pay no attention to the nay Sayers who say you should stick to quilting! Of all the audacity. You can do whatever you want. Love your videos.
Oh my, you do think like I do Kate. My builders call me and my house “whimsical.” And like Anth, they’re really willing and flexible to co-create my out-there ideas! Really fun episode!
I adore this place, Kate, and I'm so jealous! I thought the pieces looked wonderful without color & was disappointed when you planned on painting them, BUT, they're fabulous. Should have known! I'm not a quilter...a sewer but I still watch many of your quilting videos, mostly because you're fun. 😊 I love all your videos..your family...your gardening...your 😸 kitties...your life, actually. ❤ Thank you so much for sharing so much of yours with us.
Mono chromatics only see grey tones, my son has the same. The things we don't see as they focus on movements. My son sees better in the dark too. Different abilities 😉 It becomes lovely 🥰
The quilted wall is wonderful. The cabin is fantastic!! Enjoy every minute as we all know you do and thank you for sharing with us ❤
P.S.❤ As a stone waller, Ant is a quilter in his own right! His greys will be aided by the stones he uses,and, you're both just using another medium that you both can meet on! Take greatest care!XOXO. J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😊
What ever will you do as an encore?
This whole project exudes JOY!
I want to be there with you gushing!
Absolutely WONDERFUL!
it has been difficult waiting to see your progress......Ant is a lovely man.
Your quilted wall in the lodge is absolutely beautiful!!!! I love looking at it and I get inspired by it. Hope your cold disappears quickly and that you feel better soon!
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! Excellent Team "Garden Pond". you two are a true delight. the spontaneity, humor, bouncing ideas off each other .... joy, pure joy! Thank you for sharing this creative process. OH! How do Anth & Eileen get along??? Happy holidays (am enjoying my xmas box).
What a creative and perfect addition to your cabin: of course you would have a quilt wall. Yay for Ant! ❤️
I love your garden channel and have just made my first quilt. You inspired me. Not bad for a 67yr old Australian/ New Zealander
I am sorry that you have been so sick! But, otherwise, I so enjoyed the entire video!!!! Such an amazing group of friends you have around you. Take care and stay warm. See you again soon!
You both have been so busy working on the cabin!! It's wonderful!! Love the quilt on the wall, Kate!! Stay warm and Get well soon!♡
I am loving watching this creative collaboration. Your wooden quilt is wonderful x
How completely wonderful in your winter wonderland cabin by your mini sea!
Brilliant for you, Eileen and all the wildlife!
Love, love, love Ant! So warm and willing, not to mention handy! How lucky to have him around! A creative kindred spirit! Lovely!
I very much enjoy ALL your videos and anxiously await the next. Cannot wait to see what you two have been up to next!
Stay well, Kate! Love to you and Ant from across the big pond in the USA. Peace and love, Merry Christmas!💖💚💖💚💖💚
What an amazing job you two did! Love the wall quilt and the cabin! Lots of work for you, take care, and I hope you have a good rest during the holidays, Kate!
Ant could turn this wood situation into a feature wall speciality and he could travel around quilters’ cabins all over the world. My Joiner would have freaked out. Jen x
Thank you Kate for bringing us along.,I love your peaceful place. We will have to bring our virtual lounge chairs to your lovely porch and sit a spell. You will probably have to tell us it’s time to go home
I just love the wood quilt.Ilene gooseskating on "her" pond 😂 She seemed very irritated to find it was frozen.the overhead shots are clarifying the layout of your property.its been difficult for me to grasp.Ant is wonderful.love all of you at TLHH
Thank you for sharing. Ant is a treasure. I trust that you are well, Kate. Best wishes for a lovely holiday season. (Daphne in Southern California)
Please keep gardening. You are a rounded channel and I love seeing all you are working on, inside and outside the Last Homely House.
Oh, Kate. The wall is amazing. Miss Agnes will be wanting to claim this special place all for her own. What "little" girl wouldn't. Hoping that you are feeling much better. Dealing with the cold myself right now. Very inconvenient. Ant is an amazing and caring man. I would think he might have a go at making himself his own wooden quilt. Christmas is soon coming. Stay warm and be better.
Personally, I'm so very pleased you are sharing your garden with us all. Ant is a gift! Take care.
I think it’s brilliant you went for a roof on the veranda, you’ll be able to be outside much more. Ant is a great guy, he’s so patient. Tradesman like him are worth their weight in gold.
I love your quilted wall! What an awesome guy Ant is! I also love seeing Eileen. She used to play a big part in your Homely House videos and I’ve missed her! Sending well wishes for you that you shed your cold quickly! You’re still sounding unwell! Until next time…
Oh everything is coming together so well Kate, the best bit for me was the shots of the wild birds at the feeders...this is what I want people who put down the horrid plastic grass to see...look at what you are missing!!!!
Absolutely wonderful! I was just so tickled to see the quilt wall idea take shape-literally! Love that the middle column was left natural -homage to color blind yet artist extraordinaire-Ant. Wow, oh wow. Loved seeing John and Agnes catch the enthusiasm as well. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
LOG Cabin Ish Under "to be installed windows" Yes, Anth is now Wood Quilter, he'll never see scraps the same again. (Will we see this in his dry wall creations?) Door handle height is "fairy tale" perfect JOY JOY JOY!!
Kate what an absolute pleasure it has been to watch this garden series. Building the quilt wall was inspirational! The joy of you and Ant creating and working together to fulfill your dream has been wonderful :) Thank you both so much x
Lovely video. The cabin is looking quite cozy. You have a very good worker in Ant! It was fun seeing Eileen out on the frozen pond. She is so cute! Thanks for sharing your beautiful countryside.
First she gets Anna into quilting, and now Ant!!! 🤣 What an awesome addition to the cabin!
Loving seeing the progress of your cabin Kate. Filming was not disjointed at all - really enjoyable to watch :)
Ant is such a lovely guy and very talented. The patchwork wall is just amazing ❤
