It's a blessing to hear you comment often how "very pleased" you are with your work....the ability to be satisfied with one's efforts indicates a very healthy outlook on life.

Thank you Kate, for your casual and soothing ways. You are a gift!

I love how something small, like a scrap of fabric, transports us to another time and place. And I love how you celebrate the story of each piece either in a quilt or as a thread bunny.❤

I think your thread bunnies could be joined and make something dangly

I think your thread bunnies would be fun if they were strung together like a garland and hung in the top of a window.

What is a thread bunny please?

@jenndotson6718

@@bethanyrosebanks2882 A thread bunny is a scrap of fabric you use before and after chain piecing your quilt blocks or strips together so that the tails are “pre-handled” before starting your next batch of chain piecing or strips. I learned about them from Kate here on her videos and they are AWESOME in how easy they make dealing with threads.

I am mesmerized by your videos! I can’t thank you enough for how inspiring you are Kate for me who has never quilted before! Absolutely love the Indian block print quilt you are making. I need to start one for its healing therapy for my health problems!

I rarely comment, but I do look forward to your videos. Today, I am unable to resist. While you were speaking, I suddenly realized I was nodding, "Yes", and making many comments! I too have loads of scraps to use up. My sister and I sew dresses for an orphanage in Africa and I take the scraps to make quilts for the grandmother's that care for these children. It is so much fun to work with scraps. I haven't done that many, but do when time and energy permit. So enjoy your content!🇨🇦

I love that u use scraps - and make them beautiful too! What lovely memories

I love scrappy quilts! Thank you for posting this!

Hello from Pennsylvania USA. I do not quilt, but I enjoy your videos so much. I do sew. I am enjoying my tea watching you pin. I am excited for the finish. Enjoyed your spinning wheel. Stay safe.

I love the modern hand quilting. When I was first doing hand quilting , it was 12 stitches to the inch! I did 4 king size, 130" x 140". My step father made me a quilting frame, it had rollers to advance the quilt as I did about 10". I have 2 of those quilts, 1 was worn out, 1 just gone(?), i now have some of my quilts machine quilted, & a great many of the tops i make, I tie & sell inexpensively or gift/donate. I sew 2 - 10 hours about 300+- daily. I admit to being a (possible), hoarder of fabric. Batiks are an addiction for me. That's fabric I design quilts fir me alone. If anyone saw my studio ( 12 x 14 ft.), they might be tempted to have me "committed "! I love the life you have created, and the support your family does for you. Enjoy spring.

THANK YOU !!!! I LOVE your videos !!! And most of all your conversation… GOD BLESS YOU !!❤️🤗😘🙏🌹

Reminds me of a Gees Bend quilt. Group of ladies from Alabama.

I move your calmness and beautiful ideas you give us. Thank you!❤

I love it, Kate! So cheerful and cozy looking, and such special memories attached to it for you.

I love your hair!❤. Scrap bunnies are awesome and a great reminder of projects past! 😊

I love these sorts of projects. The stripey top is lovely Kate. Cheers from Melbourne

Beautiful quilt Kate and all scraps used it just shows you Kate what you can make with your scraps well done .

Thank you so much Kate. I love your serene manner and how it all just comes together. Congratulations on using all of your Indian block print fabric too, it looks wonderful

Love your scrappy quilt and especially the scrappy binding. Will be wonderful lap quilt or picnic throw. Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps, a gift to your daughter who went on that India trip. A picnic quilt is also lovely.

Thank you for the lovely visit. You always give me all kinds of ideas to think about. Thank you very much.

How lovely and relaxing. What a fabulous picnic blanket it will be. I can see you sitting on it in the summer. Thank you and the thread bunnies are cute too.

It’s lovely and every time you use it for a picnic 🧺 you’ll be floating back to India and all the wonderful memories of the beautiful trip you had with your dear daughter…. very special indeed ❤ Thanks Kate, I really love and truly enjoy your videos, very calming and heart warming with ❤ from Australia 🫖 ☕️

What a lovely reminder of your travels. 🇬🇧

I think that quilt is terrific ! The pieces all together just look marvelous to me.

Stopy starty sewing 😂 love that!

I love that Indian block striped material! The quilt is adorable. Now, you have given me something else to do, Kate. I must save the string bunnies! It will be so much fun figuring out what to do with them! Thank you for a lovely break in my day. I’m passing down plates of homemade fudge brownies and latte’s for those on the lime green sofa.

Kate, Thank you so much. I too am a scrap quilter. I so share your joy when we find the perfect project when we can “use it up”

I was so happy to see this scrappy quilt. I have a similar collection of pillow ticking fabrics that I've been wondering what to do with and now, I have a project in mind thanks to you. But FIRST, I must finish the current quilt I'm working on that you also inspired. The hexie quilt you have been working on for Agnes was just so pretty that I had to try my hand at a similar quilt. So far, I've got about 900 1" hexies sewn together and will continue on with another 400 to 500 before I'm happy with the size. Thank you for all the inspiration and love you share with us!

So nice to see you this day, Kate. Love how your quilt turned out. Just like that. It felt so free to become what it wanted to be. Made me think about my own fabrics that wait for me to pay attention. Spring is in the air and things are beginning to come alive. Enjoy your week, Kate. Until we meet again.

I really enjoy peeking in on your beautiful life! Thank you for all you share with us.

Marvelous use of scraps. You are SO inspiring, Kate.

thank you,,I take such joy in watching your projects take shape..

Love this video and quilt. Love the scrappiness of quilt and binding!🌺🌺🌺

You have such a good eye for what works together! I love these block prints.

Spray baste is very nice. It lets me feel secure about no wrinkles on the back. I do use safety pins every 6 inches. I can fold up the quilt and set it aside for a while knowing nothing is shifted before I quilt it. I love scrappy quilts, so your Indian stripes are a delight. My backs are often multipieced as well. It makes me happy to use up cloth that would be wasted. Hugs to you. ))

Hello Kate, I was super excited to hear you talk about your trip to India and your reaction to the vastly different way of life in the smaller cities more so than big ones. I'm originally from Mumbai, got married and have settled in the US. You and I are the same age, I think. India has changed so much since when I was growing up there. Anyway, been your subscriber for five years or so. Love watching you and your family and your projects!! 🙏🏼

May I say that you look stunning with your blue blouse and apron against the lovely colors of the quilt.😊

So many memories for you in that quilt. 👏😊💕

Its so very nice to go to your site, I appreciate your calmness in everything you do. I always look forward to viewing your projects and taking note of your ideas . God Bless you!

Hiya Kate 🌞, so 😊 to see you again! ❤ My very first large quilt was a multihued hexes with scraps from family clothes and materials from my travels etc; hand done and double bed sized-for a memory quilt for my 1st grandson (now 15!)He's played on it/camped on it,& generally put it through the wringer,but l love ❤ to see it's still in his room-despite others lve made!Now 5 grandees on with others ("cuddles") made 😀lm "commissioned" by miss4 to do another "bee cell" just for her.😊All the memories from the fabrics once again assail me & she'll ask for the stories attached! So lm on your LGS passing fudge brownies and sticking as you bring us up to date with your activities. Thanks again, 😊 J.I.M.K Mrs. Australia ❤ 🇦🇺

Isn't it magical to turn a box of scraps into a useful, beautiful piece like that? It'll make a lovely picnic quilt. It was fun to watch - thank you!

Thank you, Kate!! Love the quilt. Love the binding. Such a joy to go back through fabric memories and create something new.

what a beautiful idea to use that lovely material from India Have a great week from still snowy Canada Anita❤ 🇨🇦

I love this quilt .....I think it is going to be my favourite of all the quilts I've seen that you 've made 🌿🧡🌿 x

Thank you for sharing this process... I just sit and relax when your video is made available... I don't want to miss a thing.

I watched you quilt and suddenly realized there's no wadding - but for a summer picnic, it's not needed. Might also be fun on the picnic table too. It does have a lovely summery feel to the colors. That's just a great way to enjoy the memories of your trip. I don't know if I ever thanked you for introducing me to Arne & Carlos - it was when you made their Christmas Star from bits of wood and fairy lights. Oh my goodness, between your two channels I really feel a part of a community. I do so hope they can come and play with you while in England this year. What a dream come true. Now I have a mental picture of you and Agnes having tea and cookies out in the garden when it warms up.

Kate I love your kind and gentle nature. Throughly enjoy your videos. You have inspired me to try lots of new things. Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦.

Love the thread bunny idea as a recollection of all your other creations!! 🎉

Just my kind of quilt, using up the scraps. Really like how this came together so quickly a really nice picnic blanket. Have a wonderful week, stay safe love and hugs xx

I love the graphic punch of this project!

Always something creative going on at TLHH.

The QUILT looked very nice . I have done some block printing .it is very arty .

What a gorgeous, scrappy quilt full of memories. I love the idea of using it for a picnic or a tablecloth. Not everything has to be a masterpiece.

Hello Hello Kate and all you wonderful people on the Big comfy lime green sofa,In January i was wanting to be inspired and wanted to try my hand at EPP english Paper Piecing .I went on over to you tube and Miss Kate you popped up on the side bar so i thought i will look at your video well well i was hooked in that video so i thought i wonder if this Kate Lady has any more so i went to your first video and it was of you spinning well after that i have watched every single one of your videos and i have just finished this last one Indian block finished. I have to tell you that every night i sit down and do my cutting for my 1 inch hexagons and watch you and i have loved every one of them i have learned so many new things i have cooked and baked new things and i have cleaned out every single one of my cupboards and drawers and its been so much fun I just wanted to let you know that its been so wonderful you are a very inspiring spirt and a wonderful soul Thank you for brining such joy into my world i guess now i will have to become a patron as to get more behind the scenes of alot of stuff that was not here on You Tube. I will say i did purchase the threads from your shop love them and now that i am up todate it will be fun to browse in the Last Homely House shop Thank you again

Like you, I love to see 'the hand of the maker' in textiles and cloth collected during travels are so valuable. I find it hard to part with even the tiny scraps, so I shred them and make paper with them. I am building a flip book of pages made from my favourite fabrics. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.

This would be wonderful quilted in the style of kawandi pieces, especially as it’s Indian fabric. With the individual blocks quilted in different directions.
