- In this video you'll see so much progress on the quilt that Anna has been making with me this year. I created a playlist so you can find all the other videos in this series.
• Teaching my daughter i... It has been quite a journey for her, from choosing the fabric, so generously supplied by Spoonflower
www.spoonflower.com ,through all the stages of design and sewing to now, where she has created a quilt top, a scrappy backing and is hand quilting her lovely quilt.
I have been making what I call my 'Terry Quilt' alongside her. I was inspired by a quilt I saw on Terry Rowland's channel
• Color Wash Quilt Scrap...
it has been a real labour of love and I really like the result. I chose some very funky fabric for my backing. Brandon Mably's Sharks Teeth! Here in the UK I get my quilting fabric from Cotton Patch
www.cottonpatch.co.uk/
I'm not sponsored by them, they just have a wonderful range of things for quilters and are very friendly!
Over on Patreon the Advent Series is well underway where I have been making a different quilt block everyday for the whole of December, I am starting to work out the layout now and deciding how I will quilt it. This is my Christmas Gift for all my Patrons and everyone from $1 can view these videos, plus all past Advents, found in the 'Collections' feature. I am really grateful to all those who choose to support me in this way. Thank you all!

Anna chooses the music for my videos from a subscription website called Epidemic Sound - today we have: Rosemary's Garden, Onthou, and What I Ever Wished For.
I am sending some fresh Pink Lane Bakery Mince Pies down the Lime Green Sofa for you all to enjoy and some ginger wine to warm your insides!
Have a very lovely time this Christmas, whatever you plan to do
With my love and thanks for your support
Take care
Love
Kate

I just have to add…Anna, I think you’ve done a fabulous job on your first quilt. Confidence will come as you do more. There’s nothing wrong with this quilt. If you know of any trouble spots or anything you struggled with, you’re the only one who does. It is lovely! You can be well pleased. I find the joy is in the journey.
You are spreading joy, thank you!
I love watching the process
I love the combination of colors. It’s turned out quite nicely!
❤
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
One thing is obvious -Kate is the MIL we all dream of. ❤ Such a beautiful collaboration.
Anna is also a great daughter-in-law. The woman my son married is a sociopath narcissist. She completely alienated him from every family member and friend he's known his entire life. Until he wakes up it will only get worse. My other son has a wonderful wife.
And Anna is the daughter in law we all dream of. Perfect harmony
Both quilts are beautiful. I am 74 and haven’t quilted for about 6 yrs because of husband being sick and myself as well. I can’t make the very tiny stitches anymore because my fingers are stiff so I will be doing your method from now on. I love it. I won’t use a hoop but quilt like you are doing. Thank you.
There are about a million things I should be doing on this Sunday before Christmas but I can't tear myself from watching Kate and Anna quilt together. I am relatively new to this channel and I find it so calming and comforting.
I soooo agree!
Welcome to the the last homely house! I have room next to me on this lovely lime green sofa, grab your quilting a cup of your favorite beverage, mine would be coffee as I watch the video on Monday morning (5:25-6:00am CST). The first time as I watch the videos a couple times as I miss things.
Anyway welcome!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤❤
So peaceful. Watched this in January on a snowy weekend, just what I needed. Thank you.
As do I! It's very meditative, isn't it?
So peaceful. Reminds me of... I lived in a small town where most were employed by the same company. A beloved worker was retiring, and the whole town came together to make him a quilt. Just like a historic quilting bee. I sat next to a person who had never even held a needle. A day of coming together in joy and comraderie. Merry Christmas to all!
Hi, can you please talk about your curtains? Did you make them? They are so beautiful.
@@mvc9871Those little squares “postage stamp” style curtains, do you mean? (Yes, she made them. I’m hoping Kate does one of her “Frequently Asked Questions” video shorts she & Anna plan to make to address the many questions her viewers often ask, to discuss how she went about making those lovely curtains!).
So lovely to watch you both enjoying this quilting. As a small child I watched neighbors and my Grandmother and later in life I pulled from that to begin quilting by hand. My mum never did craft t things so watching you two is wonderful and heart warming ❤
How lovely to see you sharing your knowledge and experience with Anna. Anna is fortunate to have you teaching her quilting skills. You are always positive in your comments and suggestions so that Anna keeps her enthusiasm with quilting. Looking forward to seeing the completed quilts. Wishing you both a peaceful and lovely Christmas. Take care❤️
Hi Kate and Anna
Anna has done marvellously. She will soon be a prolific quilt maker like yourself 🌟🎄💞
I think my first comment had an error and did not move forward, because of the sincere thoughts I want to repeat . You and yours have brought such happiness to me this year, thank you. May you have a wonderful new year and joyful Christmas. Again, thank you and The Last Homely House.
I love to watch the two of you together and I always think what a blessing you are to one another. Anna just seems to be a gentle and kind young woman. Lovely Anna and Kate and lovely quilts ❤❤
You’re both so gentle, patient, clever and creative . Thank you for sharing with us all. 🙏🏻💐❤️
Words are inadequate to express the incredible joy watching the two of you brings me. I'm deeply grateful. I wish you and all those you love a beautiful holiday filled with love and contentment. I'm also looking forward to seeing your continued progress on the cabin. With love!
You two make me giggle. I love watching and learning from you about your lives. It’s very pleasing seeing how well you get along. Love it all .
What a blessing you have in each other…enjoying quilting together! It is so wonderful to see you two doing something you both are loving. I am also a quilter and love seeing these videos. Thank you!
Oh, Miss Kate, I was given a bag of leftover fabric and made many, many half square triangles and sewed them into a table topper. I decided to give your big stitch quilting method a try and completely fell in love. It's so relaxing and was what I needed to "get out of my head and into my hands" thanks again for the inspiration.
I watch your videos every morning with my morning coffee while crocheting. The music is so relaxing. What a great to have your video every morning. Thank you friend.
I think how brave Anna is to admit that she made a mistake well done! So lovely to see you both quilting together. I have an old quilt that I must finish started many years ago. I now have a quilting Sewing machine and I won it at a craft fair! I am very inspired to see you both finish your gorgeous quilts together. I am almost sewing along with you both on the Lime Green Sofa. Thanks for sharing and Hope you all have a very Happy Christmas!
Anna, You are so lucky to have such a good teacher. Both quilts are so pretty! I'm looking forward to your next quilt.
Wonderful watching the two of you working together. I watched one with your son the other day and he was alot of fun too. I love, love, love the curtains!! Can’t wait to see these two quilts finished. I love big stitch Hand Quilting and your love of Hand Quilting shines through.
Oh Kate, what a kind, patient teacher you are. She is in the best hands to learn. You are so kind, and knowledgeable!
Well done Ladies. This warmed my heart. ♥️♥️♥️😂🎄🕊
Two beautiful quilts. Someone taught me years ago to thread my needle as it comes off the spool and not from the end you cut. That way you are sewing with the twist instead of against it. It was a game changer for me 😊
Never heard that before, but will definitely give it a try. Thank you!
It was one of those aha moments when I was told, and it seems so logical when you think about it. I wondered how I got this old and never twigged 😂
Good to know, I've always wondered if there was a difference. That may explain why sometimes it knots up more, and other times, it flows through the fabric.😊
Loved this video of you both quilting. I found the sound of the needle going into the fabric and the thread being pulled through quite calming. The microphone was amplifying that sound. I like your big stitches too, it’s good to know they don’t have to be tiny. They get the job done and more importantly you get the job done.
So glad Anna is saying ‘My next quilt will be better’ instead of I’m never going to do that again🎉🎉 Anna is at the start of a wonderful journey, she’s made a wonderful quilt and she’s got a great supporter 👍👏🇬🇧
What a lovely DAUGHTER-N-LAW !!!!!!😊😊 and GREAT MOTHER-N-LAW😇😇
You and yours have brought such happiness to me this year , thank you . May you have a wonderful new year and joyful Christmas. Again , Thank a you and The Last Homely House.
Anna, for your first quilt you’ve done a beautiful job! And Kate, you are a fantastic teacher! Enjoyed the video! Merry Christmas!
👍👍I enjoyed this very much. A tip for threading the needle. Wet the eye of the needle, not the thread. Moisture on the thread makes it swell, moisture on the needle eye attracts the dry thread.
Great tip! Don’t know why I never tried that after all the years of stitching I ‘ve done!😳
it totally works for hand and sewing machine needles. i just learned this tip in the past six months - time (sanity) saver!!@@brittawrolson5936
What kind of needle is best? I want to try!
How wonderful it is to have a daughter in law in yr life. Yr whole family is so family oriented. I just love it! What a special family. Can't wait to hear what John has to say about Anna's beautiful quilt. She should make him a quilt with all carpenter tools on it. I love watching u guys stitching. I love the hand stitching too. I was in a quilting group and was more or less put down bcuz I wasn't doing it all by machine. Then the day came that they had a quilt that needed hand quilting. Who did they ask? Me. Enjoy u so much. Bless u for taking the time to share yr knowledge. Delia, Oreo and me. Luv to all. 😊
Kate and Anna, I throughly enjoy the time you share with us. Since I’ve been watching “The Last Homely House,” I’ve learned so much and gained encouragement from across the pond. Today Anna was right on target about the knowledge gained and then the leap into the practical. I’m still on the fence watching and absorbing. Thank you both and have a Blessed Happy Christmas with a Joyful Blessed New Year.
I enjoy your hand quilting, Kate. It really compliments your quilts. You are a great teacher too. It was nice hearing Anna's doubts on her quilt and how you made a few suggestions to help her and gave her her confidence back.
Just adore this. Anna's quilt is wonderful. So nice in the winter sunshine, too. Thank you for your videos.
It's heartwarming to watch Mother & Daughter in Law working sweetly together. I have 2 dnlaws but neither like doing handwork. I love watching how you talk and work together. Love from Alabama...USA.
Beautiful quilts. I would like to see how you bury a knot when starting and stopping your hand stitching by popping them to the backside of the quilt top. Might be handy to demonstrate for new quilters.
Anna is absolutely adorable! What a blessing to have her in your life, Kate. The joy of creating a beautiful legacy is inspiring and exciting, even now in my 60s. I learned to quit from my grandmother (usually playing underneath the giant quilting frame and watching the needles poke through the underside) while the women worked above me. Such incredible memories and fabric is an enduring love of mine. Merry Christmas to you and your family and thank you for your lovely videos. 💗
The togetherness of making quilts warms my heart!!❤️
Anna's candle on the windowsill is a sweet touch too.
I have always stitched in the ditch but after watching this, I am chomping at the bit to try a grid pattern on my present quilt. Really inspiring and wholesome video, great company for a winter’s night. Thankyou ladies ❤
Kate and Anna it is so enjoyable to watch and listen to you both 😅
You beautiful women encourage me and bring sunshine into my world Blessings. See you all next year XOXO
45 years ago when I first started quilting, I made a hexagon quilt for my husband. I did not know anything about the size of stitches that you should use to keep the quilt together. Nor did I know about the quality of fabrics. 40 years later, bad news. The thread I use was not quality thread at all it just shredded along with the ends of the hexagon because it was cheap Fabric. It was a sad day in my life I threw it out. I regret that, but I did could’ve just put it in a box or drawer and saved it for, someone who wants to see what not to do. Second quilt I made. I was very proud of that one. I sold it by the machine log cabin with stars joining the different blocks. The fabric was better than the first quilt I made, but it faded. All the black I had in the quilt, turned to brown. And then the stars with their points did not turn out right. But I didn’t know any better. I was so proud of that quilt. About 15 years after that, I was looking at that quilt one day, and I said to myself, what in the world was I thinking about those points did not do right with the seams or anything Pitiful. But I enjoyed being proud of it for those years. Am I still proud of it? Yes, I am why? Because I learned to quilt by myself, no one to help me no one to tell me the things to look for. as the years have gone by, I have made a hexagon quilt again it’s beautiful. And I’m still learning because I watch everybody tell about their ins and outs on how to make it even better. And as for my quilting, I have made several log cabin, quilts, and quilted it machines stitched it together and they’re beautiful. I called these beginner quilts of mine, my learning curves it’s made me a better Quilter. And I have learned one thing for sure. I never point out my mistakes to people that I have made on quilts over the years. They don’t even see it. So why even say anything to them. But I understand that video is for the purpose of teaching peopleand building up their confidence. Sometimes mistakes need to be said. So for the first time in 45 years, I am telling you my mistakes but I’m not showing the quilt. Thank you for your good videos that you make and sharing your experience.
Compliment: yours is one of the very few podcasts I watch in real time! Almost all others get sped up, or I jump the chapters. ❤
Happy Christmas and new years to you both and your families. Grateful for all you offer us. 🎄 🎁 🌟
Such a fantastic video. You are a wonderful and encouraging teacher to Anna. Every comment to Anna is so positive and you are giving her so much confidence in making her first quilt. Anna is doing wonderful and her quilt is so beautiful. Can't hardly wait to see your next video.
Kate is the fairy godmother!
Thin stuffing seems to be fashion now. I'm still in the group who need 2 inch thick stuffing. A lot of it was given to me to take away at a moving sale. She was thinking no one would want it at any price and pleaded with me to take it home. I was thrilled, and bought a good share of her left over cloth. New owner transformed the garages into sales warehouse with the leftovers and furniture she paints to sell. Each time I go, MOre cloth comes home with me. )) Still waiting for quilt students to help me use it up. Family 2000 miles away.
Kate and Anna your quilts are looking lovely. Both are quite colourful and unique. Take care, stay healthy, and enjoy this holiday time with friends and family.
Merry Christmas to you, dear Kate and Anna. Thank you for all the lovely content on both your channels. I wish you and your families a peaceful and Happy new year.❤❤
Anna, thanks so much for suggesting the closeup of Kate stitching! I’m determined to hand quilt my next one and really needed the instruction from a pro.
I love your channel.........and my very favourite feature has been Anna's first quilt, therefore, last time when you said it would be finished next time I was disappointed that it would soon come to an end. Selfishly, I am now VERY happy that the finish is still to look forward to. My fingers are also crossed that we'll get to see some of Anna's other quilts in the making. Thank you both so much.
I'm quilting along with you this afternoon. Lovely sunshine here also, at least for a couple more hours. I'm thankful God has blessed us with such a lovely day to sew.
Great job Anna, your quilt is very pretty. You will enjoy doing the quilting on this happy quilt during the winter months. You will really see a big difference when it is finished.
Love watching you two quilt together 💛🧡❤️🩷💜💙🩵💚🤍🩶🖤🤎you have such camaraderie.
Where is the love button?!? I enjoyed this video so much, it deserves more than a like. Thank you both for sharing your quilting journey with us.
I so very much enjoyed watching the two of you working together and the conversations you have. I love how the microphone picks up the sound of the thread/needle moving through the fabric. Thank you.🪡🧵😊
❤ Thank U Kate, Anna what great way to sit relaxed creating Beauties ❤ Started watching Ur channel back Summer even Ur Garden, Lov Ur Goose!! What great Beautiful Creations, Nice too pass on Ur Joy's ❤
Love Anna's quilt. All the seam match up perfectly and beautiful colors. Good job.
Quilting is such a metaphor for life. Problems which can consume us as we focus on them eventually fade into the tapestry of our lives.
Thank you all very much for making and sharing this marvelous episode! Beautiful 💜 quilts! 💖🥰💕💜😊
Hello! Sixty year old American living in the UK. Just read your Guardian article. Three minutes into this vid, I recognised myself. In a 'pickle' with my new business and was about to 'put it in a box.' Your conversation reminded me to consult an expert first, someone who can see my missteps and can help me move forward. You'd think I would know this at my age, but I let my frustrations get the better of me. Thank you for the reminder and inspiration to keep growing! 💗
Anna, always remember- Your quilt doesn’t have to be perfect to keep someone warm or be a joy to look at!
I absolutely love Anna's pieced backing! lovely.
Anna's quilt has an 'old fashioned' charm. It's lovely.
I think Anna’s quilt would look really pretty with a sort of half daisy quilted into the solid half of the half square. I don’t know if that makes sense but they look like baskets to me and if I did the design I would stitch the ditch on each stripe of the multicolor side and a flourish on the solid side. I’m sure it will be beautiful regardless of your choice.
How lovely to have someone to work with. You are both very lucky.
Anna-“It’s only fabric and thread” The quilting Marine
I am so taken with you two and your relationship, enjoying each others company and sharing your quilting together. Its like you have been doing it for years. The gentleness and calm is a treat in a busy world and I watch you while I sew my own quilts. We are coming into summer in the southern hemisphere, but there is opportunity to sit outside in the morning and sew before it gets too hot. Enjoy your quilting and have a great Christmas and New Year, may it hold new projects and exciting times.
I got so excited when Anna said that she didn't have Kate's confidence "YET." THAT means there will be more quilts to come from Anna. YAY! We have another quilter on the lime-green sofa. Congratulations to Anna for the follow-through and to Kate for passing on the expertise. You ladies are such a joy to watch. Happy Christmas to your entire family.
Love you two working together.
I would love sitting with you two lovely women - talking and laughing ❤️ love from Denmark 🙋♀️🥰
I just luv your company....its like you're here with me whilst i'm sewing...or rather that i'm there. How old is Anna.....luv that she joins you with this art! Merry Christmas from South Africa!
I'm not a quilter, but as a creative person I find it a joy, and so interesting to watch what lovely things other people are doing. Thankyou! Merry Christmas along with love and blessingsto all for the coming year. 🙏🌈
I so agree! Such a joy.
Anna, your quilt is beautiful. Congratulations on a great job! Even the best quilters have dates with Jack (the stitch ripper). Mistakes/miss sews can always be fixed. Don’t feel defeated…🤗☺️
What a wonderful relationship you and Anna have. It has been a delight to be apart of Anna’s journey to learn to quilt. You are so lucky to have Anna in your life!
Anna, your quilt is looking beautiful, you must be very proud of what you’ve achieved for your first quilt! Having Kate as a teacher is amazing too!
Wishing everyone on The Last Homely House a very Merry Christmas, and looking forward to seeing you all in the New Year❤
Thanks so much for suggesting the close up Anna! It was really helpful to see closely how Kate does her quilting stitches ❤🤩
I love Anna's quilt the colors are beautiful.
Kate love your quilt that thread is unique pretty cool to use, many colors in quilt many colors in quilt. You don't have to change colors if thread. Love your channel love you and live Anna.
Beautiful quilt Anna….you have made me want to finish the one I am making… Thank you Late and Anna…hugs Dottie
Anna, just want to say that I very made many quilts, not one has been made without its imperfections, I’ve ripped stitches out to match seams, corners or points. Sometimes I sew a piece in the wrong place on the block. I fix it and move on. Thats the beauty of any quilt, and when the binding is on I love them all. Have fun your quilt pattern and colors are gorgeous.
Both quilts are gorgeous!
I so love the relationship you have with your daughter-in-laws. Because of the my mother-in-law treated my...she was an excellent teacher of how not to treat my daughter-in-laws. We get along great.
You have accomplished so much!!❤
Great teacher Kate!
Lovely Ladies!
What a lovely time you two have had, troubles and all. I love both quilts, but I especially love Kate's. E everyone on the LGS have a merry Christmas. Happy quilting!!
That was so lovely to see you both enjoying each other’s company and stitching. Anna you are turning into a true quilter planning at least 4 more quilts in your head. I hope that you will show them at FOQ and if you do I hope to have a photograph with you both. I enjoyed meeting you this year. Happy Christmas to you both. ❤️
I wish I'd had a relationship with my MIL like you two have. So lovely to see you both enjoying yourselves with this quilting. Merry Christmas to you both, and the rest of the family.
I so enjoy watching you quilt and chit chat, and I agree, I love watching The Holiday every year, every Christmas. It’s become a Christmas classic I think. Love you ladies’ quilts. They’re just amazing. Great work on those, keep up the nice job. Would love to be there with you carrying on a nice conversation. Can’t wait to see them all finished. Great job on your first quilt Anna. Love the colours. You have a good eye for colours.
What a wonderful scene, the two of you sitting and quilting together. Merry Christmas to you both and see you at New Year 🥰
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas. Really enjoyed watching the progress of the quilts. Can't wait to see the finished articles. xx
Merry Christmas Kate and Anna, be blessed now and in the coming New Year!!! You both are very much loved and appreciated.
Love the relationship between Kate and Anna❤
Anna, I LOVE your backing! It’s perfect for your quilt top. 🎉
Merry Christmas and happy quilting. It's fun to see you "in stitches" while stitching (and threading the needle). Beautiful projects and lovely smiles.
So this is how mothers and daughters are meant to relate to each other! So relaxed. My mother and I never managed it. Though she did teach me to knit.
I just LOVE to see the dynamic between the two of you so very much. I love your quilts and quilting also.
You two ladies are so very sweet and lovely. I am a quilter myself and I only do a quilt the way I want and it’s so fun that way. My husband passed away two years ago and I haven’t been quilting but as I watched you both today you have encouraged me to get back at it! Thank you so very much! So all your fun and work you two have been doing is priceless. Love is the key. Best Christmas and new year to you both and I will be looking forward to New Years Eve and hope I can say I am back at it. ❤
Watching the fun and enjoyment of the progress is so delightful. In my quilting I alone work, wish I had a family member to share it with. MERRY Christmas and I will join you on New Years
Susan, I also am alone when quilting, except when I watch someone who has a quilting video on UA-cam. I would love it if my daughter or one of my daughters-in-law or a granddaughter wanted to learn but instead I am making quilts to hand down to all of my family. I am 76 and I only started quilting during Covid so I am trying to catch up with quilts to leave to my family and friends. It is such a wonderful thing to cut and also feel the beautiful fabrics as they get sewn together. Happy quilting to you Susan.
You’re so blessed to have your daughter-in-law wants to learn to be come a quilter. Merry Christmas to you and your family have a blessed day. God bless you and your lovely family.
I love watching you, Kate, quilting with Anna. Your interaction with each other is so sweet!
Merry Christmas to you both. I've been blessed with daughter-in-laws that are so precious. and dear to me. When I see you ,Kate, with Anna I can clearly see you are blessed as well. I'm enjoying watching you both on Patreon as well as your Garden adventures.
I would love to see how you manage starting another strand of thread if you are in the middle of the quilt. Also would like to see how you got the batting between the top and bottom layers. Am enjoying this series of quilt videos. ❤️
How special is this! I love to watch the two of you together. Both of your quilts look amazing. Anna you should be very proud of your first quit. It’s lovely.
Happy Christmas ( or Buone Natale as we say in Italy where I now live), Kate, Anna and your families. Have lovely, safe holidays.
And a very merry Christmas to the two of you. Loved this video. Both are gorgeous quilts. Congratulations Anna you have had the best teacher ❤
