So glad to see you looking better. You were dearly missed last week by all of us. Please take care Kate. You are so loved. 💚
I agree with this comment....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank heavens you’re on the mend. I wonder if you realize how much you mean to your subscribers. You are a wonderful woman and a blessing to so many. Thank you for authentically sharing your life and giving hope and cheer and inspiration.
So sweet at the end...when you told Norma she should have her own channel...she looked at the camera as if you shrug her shoulders and say 'I do! You just run it for me'
Perhaps our dear Norma is really Norma Desmond..."I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMille..."
Take good care of yourself Kate. We love you with all our heart. Forgive me for taking the liberty to speak for all of us.
Bless you and your lovely family .·:·*·:·.
"...Mr. DeMille..." - Exactly what I was thinking as I watched this! - And, I felt like Norma was walking us to our car and waving from the driveway as we left. :)
That blue and yellow quilt is BEAUTIFUL!
It's nice to see you back and looking pretty healthy! I got the shop update email and placed my first order. Being new to the channel I like to check things out. Your channel is lovely and I've already recommended it to a friend who reminds me of you - even though we're both older than you are. Oh the laughter! It shows that you're feeling more yourself and how well you and your daughter in law get along and work well together. She is a delight; your kids all seem to have such lovely partners! Speaks well to how they were raised. Don't let the garden get you down. I commiserate as I had great plans for this winter and spring but broke my knee while caring for my husband who had cancer and now NEEDS a new knee, blah, blah, blah - it's a difficult job but I'm glad to have the opportunity to do it. Many did not survive this year but he's still funny and sweet and loving, so that's better than pulling weeds, right? You are knitting and sewing and managing The Shop and spending time with family. Again, better than weeds. Seems to me that the love and laughter grow beautifully in your family. Be well.
“You should have your own channel, Norma...yeah”. Hilarious. Thanks, Kate for your dry humor - I think the humor comes for me in your delivery. It’s so good to see you up and about. Continue to be well. I’m a recent viewer - Arne mentioned you in their podcast and after watching you, I’m now forever your fan. ❤️
And her smile is so infectious and genuine.
Loved this episode, you and your DiL giggling, cat Rita interrupting, and queen Norma's slow blinking into the camera. Thanks again for the lovely hour, Kate ;>*
Anna is such a beautiful and fun daughter-in-law. Loved your video.
Your string quilt is such an inspiration , I have learned so much from watching you... In the past I have been hesitant when being creative and now because I hear your encouraging words I have just decided to go for it... thank you very much... it is such a treat to spend time with someone like you.
So sorry you were feeling whatever it was you were feeling! I enjoyed John and Anna. but really needed a Jane-fix! Glad you’re feeling better!!
The lovely hexagon quilt for Agnes has inspired me to "paint" my own hexagon quilt. I am practicing with a few scraps first and once I feel I comfortable, I will paint an abstract landscape scene of France WWI battlefield sites with poppies. I have some ideas, but, like you, I am usually surprised with how it turns out. It's never exactly what I planned, but I usually love it.
Photobombed by Cat Rita and Norma -- in one video! Your String Quilt is a stunner! Couldn't take my eyes off. Glad you are better and good to see you laugh with Anna. xx
People laughing together is contagious for everyone around them🥰
Your blues and yellows quilt with the little pieced framing is amazing! My eye kept getting drawn into its depths.
Glad your feeling better Kate. Laughed out loud with “The badgers are coming”
Oh Kate~ so wonderful to see you up and out in the garden as well, thank you so much for showing us the beautiful items in PHQ. Of all the wonderful and beautiful garden flowers and you and you and your very special Anna, l have to say for me my choice of the most spectacular item l saw today was you. So good to see you up, encouragement though for you not to be about too soon.
Thank you for all you do for the world especially those of us on the Lime Green Sofa.
Good tidings to you and your family. 🌼
I was holding my own just fine until you were all Kate, and after a moment or two, and after you gathered yourself all together again, and then very purposefully said , "We have badges".... I heard Badgers and absolutely lost it. What a joy to watch you and Anna get along with your chores. Love how the string quilt turned out. So glad you are feeling better now. See you next week.
I love love love the picture that Owen took of your house. Above it I can see Orion's Belt, which is a constellation I always seek out each clear night. The night my father passed, I was looking out my bedroom window reflecting on the day. I saw a shooting start that appeared to go straight to Orion's Belt. I had this peaceful feeling come over me that my Dad was with my Mom finally and happy. That has always carried me through all my tough times.
Anna has such a sweet disposition. You are lucky to have her near.
Isn't it good for the soul to have a good giggle, especially one that sends you flying off to the loo.
You look great and I love that you have so much fun with your daughter in law.
Shes very sweet as is your son John.
I have a sweet son Jon also. The cats just have so much character. Norma agrees and wants her channel !!
The flowers are lovely. I adore seeing the Spring flowers pop through the ground. I lost my baby brother to suicide and I remember the first flowers popping up after he past away. It seemed like God was showing me life will carry on. It seemed an eternity before we could smile or laugh again.
Its always a welcome sign to me to see Spring flowers. Thank you for that Kate. You are an angel. 🌷🌷🌷
We missed you last week. Was worried
Norma is ready for her closup! Glad you're here, and feeling better. You got a lot done, in spite of feeling under the weather. The quilt is just outstanding... the colors are wonderful. Would be nice for a baby to crawl around on and, to have a little picnic on. Looking forward to seeing it progess. Fun to see you and Anna working together. It's nice to get to know her a bit. Have a good week. See you soon.
I am so happy to see you this week, you were very missed last week (John and Anna were kind to share). I'm not sure you are 100% yet, take good care of yourself, you are a real treasure. I'm glad you didn't edit out the giggles! You're so real and fun. ❤️❤️
Susan
So happy to see you feeling better. We missed you, but are happy you took time for yourself.
Wonderful to see the flowers and shop updates. Hope the BADGERS didn’t take too long to arrive!😀 I was laughing so hard when Cat Rita took center stage. I’m so glad you have family close by. Hug them tight, from all of us on the lime green sofa❤️
That was a good giggle. You have a lovely daughter in law.
oh, forgot to mention, how fun to see you 2 girls laughing & having fun!
Since finding your channel a couple or so weeks ago I’ve been “bingeing” your tutorials and chats. I do so enjoy listening to you, watching you and Anna and the kitties, and seeing all your beautiful creations. I think I’m too old to ever get a quilt made but I’m enjoying learning how to piece the tops. I do knit some too, drink herbal tea, and have kitties of my own. I feel a bit of kinship with you and it’s lovely. 😊
Have been concerned about you, so glad you are feeling better. Always a pleasure to see Anna. I couldn't help but notice, in last week's video with her and John, what amazing green eyes she has. You are fortunate to have such a lovely and fun daughter-in-law.
Oh Kate, it is so lovely to see you back. Think of how many of us would like to help you in your garden, it would be ship shape in no time, not a weed in site! I can remember you planting those daffodils . I have just purchased your books and badges. As well as reading your books they are to have pride of place in my little sewing room in my garden. I also made some curtains like yours and they look so lovely. We are so lucky to have you on youtube, you make us smile and feel good, and I hope we do for you as well.
So good to see you back..you were missed. Jon and Anna did a great job. But you were missed. Thanks for the update.
Laughter is so infectious! The silliest things make up happy.
She looked so regal there at the end! Lovely video Kate. The giggling was wonderful. Take care of yourself and those feline beauties, too. Cat Rita had her shining moment in this one. Peace to all.
Good to have you back entertaining us Kate (& Anna). Take care & stay well x
I found your channel by watching an Arne and Carlos episode. They featured the homemade book that you had sent to them. I started watching your videos from the beginning and I'm binge watching. I'm still only in 2019 but OMG I'm enjoying them so much. I Love the fact you keep chickens grow as many of your own vegetables greens and herbs as possible. I love that you preserve and cook with as much of the crop as you can. I love your paper crafts, homemade books and sewing and quilting. I love that you hate to waste anything. I now want to make everything that you make. That's a problem since I already have several hobbies and my small house won't hold any more supplies. What a fantastic lifestyle you have!!!!
I love the relationship that you and Anna have! It is bitter-sweet seeing Norma again. What a lovely cat she was, indeed! As for the gorgeous string quilt, we’ll! I have been struggling to find a quilt pattern for my middle granddaughter. Her favorite colors are orange and blue. I think sh would love this quilt done in her colors, with an orange backing. Thank you once again, Kate! Take care and stay safe!
Quilt is stunningly beautiful. Sweet Norma. She is a love.
I love to see you and Anna having fun.
So glad to see you back Kate. You had us worried😌 Anna is a gorgeous daughter in law for you. I have a beautiful one too. Her name is Kini, and she and Luke have 2 wonderful kids. They have just sold their house and waiting to buy a larger one, so living with us in the meantime. We couldn’t be happier, as my other son and my adorable adult grandson live nearby and are constant visitors. Lots of hands make things go so much more easily! Love your new string quilt. You are motivating me to go to my messy sewing room and resume sewing. I’ve been laid up for over 2 years. Oh well. Thanks dear Kate for your wonderful optimism. Love what you do. Raining and flooding here. Change from our usual drought. Love from Australia xx
So good to see you feeling better ... and laughing ... what a special gift!
I've very recently found your channel because of your book binding video series, which you explained clearly and precisely. Thank you. I have been catching up with your previous videos and have had so much fun with you sitting on the lime green couch. I love your quilting series. I feel drawn to the colours of this blue and yellow quilt you are currently creating. I am seriously thinking about trying to create something like it. I've never made a quilt before. It's great to see your spring bulbs while here in New Zealand the leaves are starting to turn and fall. Thank you for just being yourself and letting us watch as you move through life. I've smiled, cried and laughed and learnt so much. Thank you and your support crew for taking the time to create these amazing videos. New subscriber here.
So glad you left the cat and girls’ bloopers in!
Glad you are feeling better, enjoyed the laughs and Cat Rita trying to steal the limelight! Take care 🐈
I think it would be fun to put a magnet on the back of the pins so that they could be used on my refrigerator.
very good idea, I might just do that!
I was thinking that also. I don't wear pins but may put one on a bag.
I thought that was what they were when I first saw them. But I like the pins (aka, “badgers”) too.
Seeing that you are okay made my day. I so enjoy everything that you create. Leave it to one of the cats to take over the show. Love It. Your string quilt is beautiful.
I always love seeing the back of Rita's head. Such beautiful markings. ❤🧡💛
I'm so relieved to see you! I'm still on 2019, I'm afraid but bingeing as fast as I can. The quilt behind you is just gorgeous!! So striking! I do wish you would film just a bit of your hand quilting. I've seen it done by many women around a quilt frame, but can't imagine how you keep everything straight without a frame. Doesn't have to be a lot just a couple minutes. So glad you are feeling better and I hope you feel stronger every day.
You two are a hoot! The badgers are coming, the badgers are coming!
Thank you for a view of the lovely garden, my husband has turned ours to cement because he isn't a person raised in the countryside. Love to see people laugh and have a good time while they work so appreciate you sharing that with us. Good that you love to hand quilt it is a treasure my one arm won't let me anymore so love the video where you showed that it brings back such lovely memories, thank you for the video.
The String Quilt turned out beautiful. Can’t wait to see the finished product. You are a joy to watch, you bring this world back to normal for me. Thank You for posting.
Nice to see you back Kate. So lovely to see you and Anna giggling while you work 😉
Your laughter and joy are wonderful and made my day.
Such a lovely visit today! You and Anna seem blessed with a wonderful relationship, the love positively glows around you❣️
Awww, how lovely! LOved all the giggling and great to see you - you were greatly missed last week! Your string quilt is exquisite! I have only made one quilt and that was ages ago and seeing how you made your truly simple string quilt and the incredible result has made me want to tackle this again! Can you show us some different methods of hand finishing? I would love to see some different options for how you could finish something like this! Thank you, as always, I do hope you're well again. xx
hooooh, blues and gold , are very stricking,,and matching Norma's eyes...such a pleasure to see you, guys! thank you for not editing out your laughters!
So lovely to see see you and Anna having such fun together. The badges and cards are wonderful! I hope you’re feeling better, Kate.
Still waiting for the badgers to arrive. Good to see you back and laughing, Kate. Stay healthy and happy with your lovely family. Anna is such a charming young woman. Thank you for sharing your joys with us.
So glad to see you back on your feet! You and Anna are too funny! It’s so hard to stop laughing once you’ve gotten started. The string guild is gorgeous and the pops of orangey red is just the right touch.
It's a bit gloomy here in the Pacific NW, so especially lovely spending some quality time with virtual friends. Cheers all!
So good to see you back again in good spirits! You and Anna had me in stitches and tears of laughter and little Norma simply stole the show ! What fun to have you all back again. Keep well Kate !
So good to see you and know that you are feeling better. I spent a lot of time in the last while watching past videos and regretting that UA-cam didn't introduce us much sooner! I've posted in quite a few older threads which probably won't be seen but heigh ho, that's alright. I was born in Gilsland so near to you in 1945 and grew up in Newcastle-upon-Tyne but have lived in Canada since 1967 so all my nuclear family are Canadians, but I have lots of relatives back yem. Thank you for sharing your beautiful surroundings and endeavours. As a crafty person and an avid reader of the same kind of books which you enjoy, I feel we have much in common, one thing being that I too have two sons and a daughter. 😊 I worked as a librarian and started my career in the downtown Newcastle library, now long gone, and miss so much of home. The blessing of your daffodil bulbs already in bloom, while here in Alberta it will be another month or so before we see bleeding hearts and columbines and hosta popping up. Do take care and stay well. Sending good vibrations and may the Force be with you there in Tynedale Rivendell.💖
What a wonderful string quilt. Anna, Norma and cat Rita are lovely partners, too. Enjoy those lovely flowers. Happy spring!
Such a fun video...the cats definitely have a screen presence!
I love the yollow flowers coming before the tulips (don´t know the English name). I think, a garden is never a mess - a garden is nature. Pleace stay healthy.
Hi Kate so good to see you, and of course Hi Anna. This is so fun to see the two of you interact. This isn't the first time that I recall that Anna has to go to the bathroom to get her with back. 🤣 Beautiful updates for the shop. And the new things are indeed called badges. Pins are with one poker in the back and a clip to cover it.
Rita was hilarious 🤣 what a character. And Norma... just being Norma. 😄 It's good to see you back and I hope you're feeling so much better than before.
Big hug. ❤❤❤xxxxx
I've often wondered how you manage with only a 24 hour day like the rest of us ! but having watched loads of your vids, I see you have a willing family of helpers. Help with editing videos, packing, photographing, designing and of course Johns practical help - its all invaluable and you are one very lucky lady to have a family like that !
I wish I were that close to my family, they are all too busy 'doing their own thing'.
Loving all the vids and glad you are feeling better.
Love tje string quilt on the wall, thank you for the good medicine (laughs) Cat Rita, heard recently when a cat exposes it's self as she did to the camera it means she accepts you as a friend so Cat Rita has embrassed us all on the lime green sofa as her friends. Passing along a plate of Anzac biscuits for everyone.💞 from Australia.
Oh my. What a lovely baby quilt. That dying day must have been so much fun. Indigo is so scrumptious. New to your channel and loving the videos. I hope you're feeling much better. Thanks for the reminder about coconut milk, turmeric, and ginger in another one I watched. It's so good for us, yet such a treat at the same time. What a lovely visit today. Thank you.
Dear sweet Kate, I love you and yours. Keep smiling as you are in my prayers each day.
That is a purrrfect performance. So glad you’re doing better. Brenda here from USA.
Oh my goodness! I’m so glad to see you up and about. I always look forward to your videos and felt sad you weren’t going to be on. I remember when you planted the daffodils. Maybe your aconites need for it to be a little warmer?
I am reminded of the saying, “Come into my garden. My flowers want to meet you”. Yes, we have met and your “invite” was heartwarming.
I have to tell you, I bought two packs of your cards; the textile ones and the stained glass window ones. I’ve sent a few out and every one asks where I got them. Unusual size and the photos are beautiful.
I have to add when I bought something from your shop, I saw the chocolate. And I ate it, slowly, while I was stitching my pin cushion which I bought from you. That was the most delicious chocolate!
Piano keys is the name of the pattern for your outside border. Pieces of the original quilt cut into strips.
The badgers are fantastic! But they would make lovely magnets as well. Add a metal disk (washer) to the magnet and you could still wear it on your blouse or attach it to your project as a needle keeper. ❤🌅🌵😷
Lovely to see you again, Kate! What a wonderful time you and Anna had - thank you so much for sharing it with us. So many beautiful things to see in this video, as well: the flowers, the cards, the badgers 😉, that stunning quilt, and I always love to see knitting. Today I made your tiffin recipe (for the third time since you posted that video!), which always makes me think of you and I always send you a little thank you for it. Take good care of yourself.
Your and Anna’s laughter gave me a laugh and uplifted me. The string quilt is amazing.
Hi Kate,
Lovely to see you back, so pleased you are feeling better ❤️
The pin badges, and cards look really nice🥰
I love the way Rita the cat wanted to get in on the video😂
Your quilt is looking lovely💕
Take care,
Bye Norma😘

Family is the best medicine. Good to see you well Kate.
I love seeing the daffodils in Spring with their bright blooms waving. I laughed so hard with the 2 of you and the "badgers"! Your cards and badges are just beautiful. I am glad to see you're feeling better.
Great to see you. Quilt looks beautiful. I love Norma when she’s acting 😻
It’s so good to see you back and having so much fun with your lovely daughter in law! You were missed by everyone! Happy to hear you had a restful week. Take care💕
Glad you are feeling better. It was so fun to watch you and Anna have such a good laugh.
Those are pinbacks. Very nice too.
I felt like a vet when cat Rita gave us a closeup of her ear. Upstaged again!
Oh Kate I'm so glad you are feeling better. I got my Last Homely House update and just fell in love with the cards! They look amazing! Also, I have to say that I truly love the quilt you are making. The blue and yellows look so good together. Watching you make it was a treat, and I wish now I would have paid more attention while my mom was making hers. I'm sure she would be so pleased that I finally learned how to knit about 10 years ago, and she would no doubt let me know what I need to correct as well! Take care, be safe, be well.
Norma is a sweetie I could watch her all day
It is certainly nice ti have you back Kate. So glad you are on the mend. I had to smile when I saw your pink and green knitting. I have been trying to learn how to knit a mitred square. I think I am up to attempt number 6 now. I am determined to make an afghan using different coloured mitred squares. Stay healthy. Stay safe and have a restful and wonderful week.
Hi Kate, So pleased to see you back again and feeling all better! That was fun watching you and Anna with the giggles, it also made me laugh. I love all your pretty card's and badges. I have your lovely Calendar on my wall, March , overlooking the sea, love it. Normal is so cute and awesome, love all your precious kitty cat's! Cheers, God bless!
You two have a case of the sillies. Love it.
So glad your feeling better .... oh I love Norma💜
The quilt is Fabulous!! Sooooo creative !!
Off to check out the shop now, your beautiful cards make lovely gifts, the badges 😊 I will use as needle minders whilst I’m embroidering, just need a strong magnet.
Anna is lovely & has a great sense of humor... giggles all the way . Nothing more fun than laughing & yourself 😊
Hugs🇺🇸🌍🤗😎☀️
It's nice to see you back again and looking well. You've been missed. The string quilt is looking lovely! Enjoy the hand quilting. 😊
I couldn't help laughing along with you and Anna -- it was contagious. (My husband asked if I was watching a cat video, and I said "yes, in a way.") Your string quilt is quite wonderful. That border is called a piano key border. I'm glad you're feeling better. I think many of us worried when you were gone.
Love that string quilt! Such a glorious mix of colours. And love to see you back in good laughing form.
This video was so.much fun. Well, they all.are, but this was a riot, starting with your kitty stealing the spotlight. Love the edited, real-life goings on of your family and life, Kate.
Laughing so hard with the 2 of you....please don't think of something sad to stop laughing.
Laughter is contagious and we need humor!!!
This was wonderful. Nothing like a good giggle with tears of silliness.
So glad to see you. I was worried and saying prayers for your well being. Norma looks so magnificent.
Loved seeing you and Anna giggling! Your String quilt is gorgeous and yes, Norma is the star of this episode. Take care Kate.
Norma is one beautiful cat! Love her markings.
Now I can’t see a thing. First it’s Rita, then I am laughing so hard I’m crying. It’s as though we are in the same room. Margaret here from Pennsylvania (PA from here on out). Thank you for being long distance friends. It’s wonderful❣️
I had been watching your previous videos. That string pieced quilt with blue fillet and piano keys border is beautiful.
You ladies are having way too much fun doing this!
Oh, this just made my weekend! I’m so glad you are well and back with us all. Lovely to see Anna - she is so great. Life has been quite difficult personally and professionally for me in the past year. You just lift my spirits with every video. Thank you. Love from Wisconsin, USA.
