My thoughts also and when she starts something and just teases me that it will be finished on patreon I feel like a kid in school left out because I could not do a special school trip like the richer kids. I wish she would finish the project.

@@traceyshoun1005 When I started watching Kate's vlog when it started it was just a chat as Kate did whatever she was doing at the time, no planning, no special equipment, simple and fun. I know the channel has really grown but it's now seeming to be a business. No worries, things change that's life and it's a huge success for Kate in which I'm happy for her, I just content myself with rewatching the old vlogs, I enjoy what I watch and have just been watching when Sadie had her kittens. After 2 earthquakes and covid over the last 10 years I'm quite happy watching vlogs that make me smile.

@@traceyshoun1005I feel the same. I can’t justify a Patreon payment. My electricity bill looms and we’ve been notified of a threefold increase. My budget (😂) will be devastated. It’s already restricted because I’m on a pension and I consider myself lucky. There is no other income 😢 By all means use Patreon but stop dangling projects in front of us that we won’t see the ending of because we’re broke. Unwitting discrimination perhaps? Maybe a warning at the beginning that it’s a Patreon project then it’s a choice before watching not a disappointment at the end. Perception of choice works for me. I have to say that sponsorship ads really annoy me too. Why are creators having to do the job for the advertisers? I know the answer but it doesn’t annoy me any less. More work for creators to do. Kate, if you had the right sponsorship would you say yes? Rant over. I need a cuppa after all that. 🫖 pass it round.

I am also on a tight budget but I don’t buy newspapers or magazine so patreon is my monthly pleasure and treat and for me it is a really worthwhile spend. I’d rather have that to look forward to than spend my little bit spare money on chocolate or wine but each to their own.

I totally support what you are expressing here. Kate's channel has become a business. It is being run like a business. Patrons are supporting Kate's lifestyle. You are also supporting her paying her family to help her as she says in her video. If that is what you are comfortable doing then go for it. Unfortunately what Kate is doing is employing a tried and tested marketing technique. She teases viewers with a taste of something but saves the meaty bit for those who pay. Her head has been turned by the call of the mighty dollar. Her early videos were just lovely where she took you and her iPad around the garden, out to the lake with Eileen, checking on the bees all before sitting down for a bit of quilting or spinning. These were organic, real world videos that required no fancy equipment. All that was required was a simple editing app and her time which she was freely giving anyway. I have unsubscribed from so many channels fir exactly the same issues. It is very disappointing as the Lime green sofa is such a welcoming visual picture. I will miss it.

Like so many people I am on a fixed income. For me I became a patron to be able to thank Kate in a small way for all the joy her videos have given me. I am grateful for her taking the time to share her life with us. She and her family are a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. Peace and kindness to all.

I'm looking your film without sound, because I'm sitting near my mother, 95 years old, very very ill. Your KZread give me even without sound, peace of mind. Love for all of you.

Thank you for explaining how easy a Louis 16 block is to make! I love what you have done. I would encourage people to join patreon with Kate. I seem to never get enough time visiting on the lime green sofa, where you never meet a stranger...we are all friends...thanks to Kate!

There are also viewers like me Kate who are on universal credit, through no fault of our own. I feel very guilty that I can’t even afford to buy myself a coffee but I wish your channel all the best, and I enjoy watching every single one you post xx

thank you very much for that lovely attitude. All these KZread videos are free to watch - right back over 6 years and I value your support very much- it is very kind of you to say that xxx

Just a (long-winded) note from a woman in Mississippi, US, who's had more than one tearful conversation with her husband and close friends about how much Kate and this channel mean to her. I'm that woman, of course. I'm thankful I'm able to be a support to you by purchasing from your shop now and then and by subscribing on Patreon. I would do it for absolutely zero additional content by the way - you mean just that much to me (however I do enjoy everything you post there). I won't go into the tragedies and difficulties your videos have helped me through, but suffice it to say you've helped me keep my sanity. And I want to do all I can to help you continue in this ministry, because that is exactly what it is. You have been, and continue to be, a blessing to so many in so many ways. Thank you, Kate ❤️

I am the same. I am off work due to being sick and never a day goes by that I don’t watch a few of your videos Kate! They make me feel so much better and happier! I keep thinking I must have seen every video and then there is a new one I find! I loved going on that walk to the train station through the woods with you yesterday! I love you Kate! I wish I had a mother- in - law like you! I love Anna and her gentle personality! Her and John are so sweet! Thank you Kate for picking up that camera and turning it on! My world is a better place with you in it!!!

I've been watching you from my seat on the Lime Green Sofa since 2019. Late that year, my Mom died. And working in my sewing studio, often with my 11 year old daughter by my side, watching your videos in your sweet, conversational style really was the soothing balm I needed. At first my daughter couldn't understand what I liked about it. Then, slowly she began to appreciate it too. Anyway, when the pandemic befell us a few months later, your "Take Care" videos were a precious lifeline. We have a rich full life here. But getting that daily dose of care and calm from your side of the Atlantic helped me cope with how many of our loved ones, and my in-laws, were facing this thing in the UK. When you initiated Patreon, I joined at the $5 level. I don't think I've ever accessed the content (Patreon has been hard to figure out and I'm a smart lady). But I've never really cared. What you do on KZread, though it's changed since those early days, has always been enough for me and the Patreon was a way of giving back. That won't change. But this video has inspired me to go and see if I can figure out how to watch some of the videos over there. The clips of you working with your daughter remind me of working with mine. So, as always, thank you for all that you do. What you put out into the world is sorely needed.

I watch you mainly for your voice. I find your voice so soothing and I can imagine how comforting it would have been to have you as a friend when I was younger and able to do all those things that you do. I did do a lot of them but never had the time to really enjoy them. You are lovely.

OMG!!!! the "family" surprise for Kate on Patreon today was so, so special. Brilliant, actually beyond Brilliant. Well deserved Kate!!!!, know you will enjoy "it" each & every day.

I truly understand the twin desires to honor those we love/have loved, as well as to be of service to those in need - to respond in a caring way to others. Thank you for inspiring others - in a kind and subtle way - to do and be the same.

I love fabrics with lots of things to look at. I hope this quilt gives a child many happy hours finding all the designs. You are so generous with the work you put out, it is appreciated 🙂

I absolutely love this quilt! 🙌💖💚 You are so very talented Kate.

I absolutely love this idea Kate. Thank you for showing your block method of sewing together. For someone like myself, with little quilting experience, this is a great help. Love this type of video. Thank you Kate. 🙂 xx

What a gorgeous quilt! I don't worry about things that are directional (unless it's a wallhanging) - I figure we're looking at quilts from many different angles, depending on how we're snuggled up in it! 🥰 Thank you as always Kate - and you provide the BEST Patreon content! xxx

Hi Kate from Oz. One more amazing quilt. I made the Kaffe seed packet quilt. The colours are amazing. The problem is every time you make something beautiful it makes me want to make it too. I have hexagon quilt on the go and the scrap quilt as well . My daughter says to me”Mum please finished one before you start another. “ I love your videos so much. My beautiful Son died of cancer and when I have my very bad days I start quilting and turn on your videos. It does help a bit. Are we going to see Anna’s lovely bright quilt. All my family loves Anna. She is a lovely lovely person. Take care Kate. keep well.😊❤

Thank you, Kate! I love the quilt, and what a wonderful cause it is going to! I did not realize how easy it was to make, and I’ll definitely give it a go. I spent the weekend with my granddaughter, sharing mini strawberry cheesecakes and a delightful lavender tea - a first for me. As I go through my material, looking for interesting combinations, I will pass the cheesecake and tea along the lime green sofa to all of our friends.

Oh, I think the video is lovely! The content is wonderful, the videography is great, the music and editing is absolute perfection! It has grown and I would not expect you to stay in the past. I am just a very informal person and liked the chit chat and miss it. It is just my personal preference. I am curious about the extra content on Patreon. I have a feeling it is more of that, since you describe it as behind the scenes. I just feel bad that I am not able to join that side of things. I have an 18 year old son with special needs and a 26 year old daughter who is in circumstances where she is not able to be fully independent. I have drawn a line for myself where I do not do ANY subscriptions because my family's needs come first. If I open the door to one subscription, where do I stop? I'm a bit strange like that. I do want to give you a HUGE THANK YOU! Your quote of "Out of your head and into your hands" has helped me immensely! It is so true! When I craft, etc, I am able to reduce stress. I hope that my watching You Tube is helpful to you in some way because your channel has been very helpful to me.
