- Hello UA-cam Friends!
In March 2024, I was the guest lecturer on the most beautiful Cruise ship, sailing up the Norwegian Fjords. The project I devised was English Paper Pieced. We stitched on it as we sailed north and enjoyed the fabulous scenery and the wonderful experience of the Havila Capella. If you are planning a similar journey, I can't recommend this Cruise company more highly.
This video is a compilation of all the things I did whilst on board, including a visit the Bridge, the Engine Rooms and the Kitchen!
You can find the Tempestry Project that Jamie explained here. I am waiting for my kit to arrive and then I will start on this most interesting project. www.tempestryproject.com

You can dream your whole life of going to beautiful places that you have heard of, but know you will never be able to visit yourself. Thank you for showing us this spectacular space in the world and letting us enjoy them with you.
So so agree, we will never get to see them all ,so I love this snooping
Kate, not only is this a visually lovely film, it is also inspirational. And how lovely to see Arne and Carlos on your channel again. I've been stuck in the house for almost two years now and the combination of your crafting and gardening is keeping me going. Thanks love.
I am sorry to hear you are suffering. Giving you a hug on the lime green sofa.
And another hug from Florida
And another hug from Australia 💖
Oh how sweet of you all. Thank you very much. I'm absolutely fine just a little limited.
I am from Canada . I was laid down with a sore knee and ankle and really enjoyed all of Kate’s videos, what a lifesaver ur Kate! Hug to u suffering thru 2 years in the house.
Wow, wow, wow, Kate don't worry about the video being long, trust me we love it.❤
Ha Ha That is what I kept saying Wow, Wow, Wow. Fantastic video I agree.
Wow wow from me too. A long video was lovely ❤❤❤
Agree - wow, wow, wow. What an absolute heaven of a vacation! I could have watched hours of this. Beautiful crafting, gorgeous scenery, meaningful climate change project, port stops, amazing ship and perfect temperature. I don't know what else to say but WOW 😍
Oh, and the food looked fabulous!
What a beautiful video of full of crafting joy, stories told and sews (or knitted), and the gift of friendship. Thank you for such an extraordinary journey. I feel completely transformed by its gentleness and beauty, and above all, inspired!
Kate, I so enjoyed seeing such lovely parts of your trip! I love that you added the Aurora Borealis at the end. Having lived in Southern Illinois the first 57 years of my life and the last 5 years in Western Kentucky (USA). I thought I’d never see them except in photos or video. However, miraculously the Northern Lights came to me! Yes, here in Western Kentucky! May 10th of 2024 the Aurora Borealis somehow made its way to the middle of the United States! It was a once in a lifetime experience right outside my front door! Ours was all pink, purple and blue. No greens were seen from what I’ve heard. It was a wonderful experience, one I’ll never forget! It’s so lovely that you have the opportunity to travel and meet so many new and interesting people from all over the world. I love getting a small peek into your life and world over there across the pond. I would love to travel to England someday to see the things you see every day! I think we all think that about other folks and their lives. God bless you and all you do! Sharon Mausey. Paducah Kentucky (yes, where the largest quilt show is every year for a little over 40 years now) It’s usually the week of my birthday in April. 🥰😍
"Wonder if I could get them to change all the upholstery?"
Kate you make me laugh out loud.
What a joy this video was. 🌼
Definitely! The lovely boat could use some touch of The Last Homely House 😊
What a fun trip “we” had! I am so thankful that you shared your lovely trip with all of us Kate. Thanks for taking us along with you! ❤
WOW! What SPECTACULAR, BREATHTAKING scenery!!!!! Oh, thank you Kate for sharing this amazing video! What a wonderful trip and I am sure you brought joy to all of the participants! Glad you had this opportunity and that you shared it with your friends on the LGS💕💕♥️♥️🥰🥰
You've made me cry - AGAIN. I am so happy that you decided to start a you tube channel - the best ever you tube channel. Kate you are such a beautiful person.
Going on a cruise has never appealed to me - in fact I dislike the thought of it........ but the way this ship is run, the beautiful landscapes and towns and all the sewing/knitting - it has even tempted me. Thank you for another enlightening and gorgeous video.
Same for me❤
I do so agree with you! I have been on 2 cruises, 1 to the Caribbean to be with dear friends (it was torture!) and the other to Alaska which was slow-paced and beautiful much like this one. Kate is blessed with the friendship of Arne and Carlos and their invitation for this slow sail on a smaller, more intimate ship. And we are blessed to have her share with us!
I also stared to cry and realized it was joy of being with Kate and all of you.
I loved the paper clip idea to hold fabric and backing paper together for basting English piecing. Gorgeous scenery. The bags are brilliant.
I have been looking for a new craft project to start that I haven't seen before. The Tempestey is not only a beautiful piece of art, it is an amazing way to link the past and present. I can't wait to start! Thank you for sharing this.
All I can say is "WOW" .......thanks for taking us along....
Kate and Anna the cinematography and editing was beautifully done. And the musical choice was the icing on the cake. I really love the music that accompanies your videos. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure. What a treat!
I agree. Kate what is the name of the music? Artist?
What a beautiful world GOD has made!! Thank you Kate for showing it to us.
Kate, I’m sure there is not a one of us subscribers who would not have been delighted to keep you company with a cup of hot coffee or tea in front of that faux fireplace🤗 What a fantastic time you must have had. Thank you for sharing it with us. You looked lovely with your delicate gold chain-so nice to see you wearing what must be a special piece of jewelry. Of course, it made me smile to see you wearing your beautiful green sweater! That’s “our” Kate! I hope you will do this or a similar cruise again-it would be an absolute thrill to join you! So glad you got to see the Northern Lights!!
It was so wonderful meeting you, Arne & Carlos and sharing this wonderful time with you! Thank you!
Oh Kate this was stunning and cozy. Thank you💕🫶🏻🌷
It was lovely to meet you, Kate! You can definitely give Larry some photography suggestions. Everything you captured was brilliant. Larry & Rusty Aasheim
Thank you so much for this love letter to my country ❤ So proud and so happy you are here to enjoying. Next time, I look forward to welcome you to Oslo ❤

Amazing for someone like me who never travels! Thank You so much for sharing ❤
Loved this video about your journey! I am very appreciative to Arnie and Carlos for inviting you along! I feel like I learned so much from watching! I especially loved learning about the tempestry project from Jamie! Thank you, Kate for sharing it all with us! 🙂
Beautifully done Kate, gotta go, gotta go!
So beautiful and relaxing video. I loved seeing you and Arne and Carlos together again. I liked all the way folks did their
hexagon projects and the lady with the climate change knitting.
This is such a beautiful video and so relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing the views, the people, and sewing/knitting.
The tempestry idea is fascinating, love to try it. Well done Jamie and for the great idea. Thank you Kate, you're a wonderful person ❤
Kate, I just watched one of your old videos (4rys old). I enjoy all of your videos, especially chatty ones! Well, on this one I watched you asked us to recommend other utube channels. I do watch a few you already know. I would recommend THE FABRIC PATCH. (Love this ) They are a mother (Cindy) and daughter (Breanna) whom own and run a shop in Washington in the USA. They do box openings of fabric, on Wednesday and Sunday, with lots of chatting. They also do FABRIC CHAT on Wednesday mornings. They chat and chat and chat!!❤ I think you might enjoy them. They laugh so much. I have been fighting cancer for 7 years and channel's like yours and theirs, make my days better. Thanks for your videos Kate . One day maybe I might see all of them. I CHATTED LONG ENOUGH😊. STAY SAFE, AND I ALWAYS SAY,..."KEEP ON KEEPING ON " VICTORIA 💚💞🪡🧵
What a wonderful trip! This looks so relaxing and fun. I’m glad you got to go. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. ❤️
That trip looked amazing breathtaking is the word. Thank you again showing such a wonderful trip. The temperature project what wonderful idea.
Wow! The views took my breath away. So very magical and inspiring ❤
Thanks, Kate for your lovely video. I was lucky to spend a few days in Norway some 20 years ago and loved it, so it is so good to see it again. Sheila (Perth, Western Australia)
WOW!!!! That was fun and very interesting. Thank you
Thank you Kate that was just lovely

Kate, this is beautiful. I watch Arne and Carlos. They are a beautiful couple. That cruise looked fabulous. The tempestry is fascinating. Very cool projects. The different color houses remind me of Jellybean Row in St. John's, Newfoundland. ❤

Spectacular - thank you!
How lovely Kate. This brought back wonderful memories of two Hurtigruten trips I’ve done. xxx
I love the fireplace!
Loved the video too. Our dog is named Aurora, and she came walking into my sewing room to check me out when you said, "oh and did I see the Aurora Borealis?"
What a very special trip. Thanks for sharing. I lived in Fairbanks AK, USA for 30 years and your video brought back memories. I love the "lights". Thank you.
Wow, what a fabulous trip
Thank you for sharing your trip with us. It looked fun and so beautiful!
What a wonderful adventure.
ThankYou! The Aura Fabulous!!
I love listening to you describe everything…. So lovely…. I feel like I’m sitting right there with you , thank you ❤
Wow! Such a great video journaling your fabulous trip. The scenery was breathtaking & I very much enjoyed your interviews with diff people & their projects including Arnie’s paper pieced tablecloth. I too, love talking to others & hearing their story. I am prone to getting vertigo so “boats” are off limits but crafts are very much allowed & I am currently making my 1st hexi paper pieced quilt thanks to the gorgeous hexi you made for Agnes. I especially enjoyed the tempestry project. I’m working on a temp quilt for this year in California. I love ev you do Kate & very much look forward to more adventures. You have so many followers & we all appreciate your videos from the lime green sofa. Ps Lime green & purple are my 2 fav colors. 😬
And THANK YOU... This is my dream trip. Even thou i live in Sweden next door to Norway the trip is to expensiv fore my economy, Some day maybe..... I am so happy fore all of you and i hope you hade a lovely time at this once in a liftime trip.
Hello Kate. I am a new subscriber to your channel and I have been having a wonderful time watching your videos from latest ( trip to Norway …on my bucket list)….to oldest and in between !. I now live in Canada ( it’s been a very long 2 years …that was what I was told when we arrived here in 1982 !!!!). I was born in Ireland ,trained as a nurse and midwife. I had family living in Newcastle and Durham area for about a decade in mid sixties to mid seventies and was a frequent visitor to your part of the world…so beautiful. I have done many of the crafts you do and continue to so. Knitting / quilting are my favourites Embroidery and Rug hooking next. Have dabbled in pottery too. Our family are big fans of Lord of the Rings…. Trip to New Zealand in our travel plans in the near future. I love farm life and all furry creatures big and small . I loved gardening and had a lovely garden once upon a time. Sadly I had to give it up due to serious back problems. Now I enjoy watching others garden including yourself. I feel like I am there both in your home and garden as I have watched your videos. I also love to cook and bake. However I am currently “ off duty” from kitchen activities due to recurring back issues…. Another surgery looms in a week 🙄🙄. However I have plenty of your videos to catch up on and distract me in the coming weeks. Thank you so much for sharing your home; garden and furry friends with everyone on the lime green couch. Cheers, Marian
Quel merveilleux voyage Kate, merci pour ces magnifiques images ❤🙏✨
Beautifully done thanks Kate what a marvellous experience 😊 x
One of my favorites that you've done. Thank you
Remarkable editing. Lovely.
What a FUN cruise! The Tempestry project is amazing! Thank you for introducing that to us through Jamie!!
Kate you have outdone yourself! Having heard about these trips with Arne and Carlos and now having you share the cruise and the magnificent scenery and such calmness with the music you added. I follow both yourself and the boys and have done since covid. A big thankyou ❤
thank you so so much for sharing many Moments on your lovely ship trip in Norway ❤️🤗😘
What a wonderful video. The amount of Artistic people on the cruise is amazing and their own projects. Incredible idea about the Climate change knitted scarf for instance. How blessed were you to get to go down in the engine room and deck on the Ship and a tour off the Ship 👏👏
Absolutely Fabulous!!
This was a great video. My Mom did some of this journey 49 years ago. Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful ❤️, thank you so, so much for sharing🤩
Thank you Kate and keep healthy 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you Kate, this was such a fabulous video. I doubt ever cruising in the fjords but today I feel I have had a trip there with a friends, the scenery was stunning. Lovely!
I did this one year for each of the grandkids. It was a fun project.
Wonderful - I enjoyed this greatly.
I’ve never really wanted to go on a cruise, but I’m sure I’d love to go on this one! I hope you are able to offer it again, Kate. It really looks wonderful and I love the idea of people having a purposeful project do do whilst they enjoy the cruise.
I'm so glad you did this! I knew Arne and Carlos did these cruises and wondered what it would really be like. I will have to save my pennies and go sometime! Thanks, Kate!
Kate, hello from Georgia in the US. My goodness, what a fantastic and interesting cruise that was. I especially enjoyed the Tempestry Project and am going to look into that. I'm not a knitter, but I think I could do it with crochet; it should have the same effect. My goodness, this was such fun; thank you so much for sharing; take care.
Absolutely fabulous!❤ Thank u for sharing!
Thank you for sharing. It was lovely!
Thank you for sharing. Truly a beautiful place.
Thank you for taking your viewers along! I loved it.
Have I told you lately that I love you? You are living my dreams. ❤
Enjoy watching your trip up the Norwegian coast … it was like watching in black & white with a bit of colour and yes to the big yellow cup for tea! Thanks for sharing Kate 😊
Truly wonderful trip and such a delightful tour guide you make! So inspired, thank you!
